OPPOSED TO SENATE CHANGE.

reference to he Fuaght

W ~
Many members Of the Senate are mp ia
arms against proposed amendment 10
be offered to the rules Of the upper bcdy
Of Congress by Senator Lodge lrnmedi-
ateIy after the holiday recess. The amend
ment provides that all petitions me
MORALS. bills. ana resolutions may be in
trodused by merely preparing the docu-
ments and endorsing them with the name
of the maker and the title of the com
mittce TO which they are 10 1e referred.
In case the change is decieed upon. it
will work havoc with the various com
mittees. and will prove large item Of
expense. besides materially hinderng the
work of the Senate. it is claimed by those
who oppose the change.
Mr. Lodge. on the other hand, says that
the adoption of the amendment will re-
suit in a great saving of time and routine.
The method now in vogue provides that
Senator's themselves must personally in
troduce all bills and resolutions on the
floor of the Senate, first receiving recog-
milton from the Presiding Officer. and
must state plainly just what they desire
90 offer. The bills and resolutions are
then read aloud by the clerk. and are re
ferGed to the committees by the Presiding
officer This is all in the open. and any
Senator may object to a committee refer
ence or to the phrasing of any bill.
Under the new rule Senator may pre-
pare. or have corps of clerks prepare,
several thousand bills. These may never

hut they will be printed, and will come
into committee rooms in wagcnloads.
The proposed amendment does away
with the old order of things and Is very
objectionable to many of the more in
fuential Senators. Mr.. Lodge, however,
has all the backing he requires, and con-
trolls q majority of the Committee on
Rules, so that there is little doubt as TO
the adoption of the amendment.
These who particularly favor the
change are the Senators from the South
ern States who have a daily grist OF old
claim bills which they desire TO unload
every morning Among those who op-
pose the new order are Messrs. Allison,
Hale. Gallinger. Warren. Proctor, and
Others. who claim that the amendment
will simply open the hoodgates and
swamp the. committees and the Senate In
a deluge OF private bills. and will make
the calendar everlasting. At present.
under the rule. an average OF 400 bills
is turned in every day.

TORONTO. Dec 2l.-A despatch TO the

Diplomatic overturcs have been made

ROSebery'S Ideas Finding
Ready Acceptance,
DOES NOT INTEND SUDDEN Coup.
Ex-Premier's Ideas Regarding Boer
Peace Proposals Favored in
Many Quarters - Clubs Hold
Meetings and Endorse Policies
Laid Down.

LONDON. Dec. 21-The week before
Christmas in England is proverbially the
quietest in the whole year in The pOlit-
ioal world. This year. however, Lord
Rosebery's speech at Chesterfield has pro-
Yided topic which has been eagerly dis
cussed every day by the entire British
press. while 1t has also been the main
subject of discussion in all the political
clubs and among the general public.
Now. after a weeks consideration, the
prevailing verdict is that the speech has
shown Lord Rosebery to be the one man
able 10 head the party which, whether
composed entirely of Liberals or partly
also of Liberal Unionists and Conserva-
tives disconteEted with the present Gov
ernment, is capable of affording the coun-
try an alternative administration to the
present .one
Apart from the comparatively few de
nunciations of the speech as entirely use
less, such as the Conservative party or
gan, the Standard has uttered. the
hearty praise which was accorded the
day after the speech was made has been
repeated daily.
CounseIed 10 BE Bold.
There is one chief doubt which has been
expressed widely. namely, whe ether Lord
Rosebery will follow up tie speech of a
leader -. assumption of real leadership.
Boldness. boldness. boldnoss." is what
tbe Spectator" urges on the Liberal ex-
premier, declaring that it is necessary
for him TO get his former followers in the
Lords and Commons with the chief not
able figures ia the Liberal party TO ac-
cept formally his leadership. thus de
posing Sir Henry CamDbell- Bannerman
the present nominal head of the party
IL is not expected that Lord Rosebery
VIII take any such revolutionary step at
once. as it would be calculated TO make
confusion worse confounded in an al
ready chaotically disorganized party
There has been evidence during the last
week that the speech is doing its work in
ranging Liberals throughout the country
into something like order.
Liberal Clubs Meeting.
Meetings OF the various Liberal clubs
in different quarters have shown that the
first step toward the unity OF the party
has already been taken This may be de-
scribed as the institution of d clear line
of demareation between the supporters of
Lord Rosebery and the rest Of the Liberal
Radical party, instead OF. as at present.
multitudinous party divisions and SUBJ
divisions.
The increase in the strength and cir
cumstantiality Of peace rumors to which
reference was made last week. has re-
ceived a fresh impetus from Lord Rose
bery's appeal to the Government to give
willing ear TO suggestions for negotia-
fions If such should come from the Boer
leaders in Holland
His reference to the possibility of ar
ranging an accidental meeting at way

To Test Public opininn.
There is an impression that the sug-
gestion was in the nature Of ballon d'eF-
sal to test public opinion in reference to
some such procedure Preliminary steps
in this direction. by way Of carefully
sounding the Beer leaders at The Hague
have already been taken urotlicially and
without duplicating the Government in
any way.
The chief influence which ii is believed
| has been at work with this object in
| view is that Of the English court The
anxiety to see peace at any rate within
view by the date Of the coronation Is
| probably even krener than in any other
circles.
The Duchess Of Albany. who has been
visiting her sister. the Dowager QurcA
Emma of Holland is believed TO have
been the intermediary for this work Of
sounding the Boer executive in the Meth
erlauds.
Contrndictor, Eum"rs.
Rumors regarding the Beers attitude
have been frequent and contradictory.
one of the latest has been contradictcd
as fatty as it was asserted. II is that
they are ready to accept the position Of e
| federal unit in confederation OF South
African States. analogous TO the fedor-
alton Of Australian colonies.
1t is. however too early yet TO dis
cuss any very definite arrangement, and,
though the British public grows daily more
wcaried OF this inglorious war. its tenn
per is such that any steps toward settle
mant must be taken with the Creates
caution.

conference. The problem now is one
for physicians rather than surgeons,
and the advice and counsel of DR..
Stockton was considered advisable. AT.
ter the bulletin was issued two physi.
clans slipped away through the side
entrance, thus escaping newspaper
men. 1t was understood that DR.. Mann
and DR.. Stockton remained at the Mil.
burn house.
Doctors Wasdin, Rixey and Stock
ton remained at the Milburn house
during the night and were constantly
in the presidents room. For hours
the president failed to respond to the
treatment to which he was subjected
to relieve him of the difficulty occa.
stoned by the failure of the organs of
digestion and assimilation. The non
success of the treatment added to the
depression that existed, but just at
midnight the relief SO much desired
came. He had two operations Of the
bowels within a few minutes. This
gave great encouragement and chang.
ed the character Of the bulletin which
the physicians were even then pre-.
pairing. In 1t they announced all the
unfavorable symptoms had improved
since the last bulletin. The decreas
ing rapidity of the pulse from 1913 to
100, which followed the bowel move
ment, was also gratifying. The physi
clans are really alarmed about the
presidents heart. The pulse remained
much higher than 1t should with the
temperature at 1902. The normal fol
that temperature is about 90.

An Old Time Performance.

The stage has experienced such a
great change in the past twenty years
that it is impossible to find a trace of
the old comedy or drama. Everything
runs to the sensational.
Uncle Toms Cabin, when first bro
duced, was considered to be one of the
finest stage pictures ever presented.
Since then, however, cheap and inferior
companies have produced the play dis
regarding the original idea Of the piece
and giving a poor performance.
Mr.. Griswold has this season organ
lied a company of unusual strength,
and has surrounded them with a wealth
of effects, scenery, etc. We do not ad-
|~vertise and do not produce a double
Uncle Toms Cabin, but faithfully pre-
sent the play as it is written and play
led years ago. The bloodhounds are not
poor half-starved creatures, but nne
specimens of ferocious man-eatins can
line race.

is one of the principal features OF the

Dear Strive have your favor OF the
18th inst, and mail you a copy of oul
new smelter pamphlet. under separate
cover.
1t would be a pretty big undertaking
to gather the necessary information
before we could give you eve an ap
proXimate estimate of the different
size smelling plants in contemplation.
The percentages of sulphur, iron and
silica are of such Importance in obtain
ing primary information as to what
class of smelling machinery is neces'
sary, that it is absolutely necessary to
have this information in order to make
up some sort Of a proposition. A smelt.
ing plant is an entirely different matter
than a stamp mill or concentrating or
c~hlorination plant. in that a smelter
can be figured up in so many different
ways.
If you could obtain the approximate
percentage of sulphur. iron and silica
contained in the ores adjacent to Lar
Jamie. we could then form some idea as
to what kind of a plant would be re-
Iquired. To give you a slight idea as
to probable costs of plants erected at
Laramie. would say that for one hav,
ling a daily capacity of 50 tons, would
|be all the way from 100000 to $50, 900;
a 100-ton plant anywhere from 100000
Ito $4,000. and one of 200 tons capaci'
lty, all the way from 10000 to s75 900,
We are hardly in a position to refer

furnish financial backing Of such an
enterprise, and believe that the proper
way to go at this part of the business
would be to have some broker in New
