LONDON. Dec. 29.-Reviews OF the
year and the century fill the weekly and
daily papers. In the latter and broad
|er field the writer's find greater salts
faction that Americas part in Eng
lands history figures prominently Sir
Edwin Arnold signalizes the new cen
tury with a sonnet. Greeting Column
bia, England says:
Love me or love me not. hap what may
hap,
My pride and prayers watch thy bright
course begun.
Thou dost uphold the lessons learned
from me
And speakest my shakespeare's speech;
God go with thee.
Columbia answers:
If thy foes too much dare, 1 think we
shall be- no more kept asunder
Than two great clouds in heaven that
hold the thunder.
That Sir Edwin Arnold's views are
not unanimously shared can be judged
from letter of Mr.. Cunningham Ora
ham Ca former member of Parliament,
who, in July, 1898, wrote a series of ar
ticles most insulting to Americans in
the Westminster Gazette), which is
given place of honor in the Saturday
Review. 1t il the most bitter arraign-
ment of Anglo-American friendship

writer decries the after-dinner speeches

yens saw the Kaiser again, and had 4
chance to observe him in different
mood and with different surroundings.
1t was state performance at the opera
for the King of Siam:
In the first eight rows of stalls or SO
sat only officers; the ladies had to
scramble for the back seats as they
liked The whole house. from floor to
upper gallery, shone with orders and
uniforms The ballet was to begin at 8
and end at nine. But eight o'clock
came, fve-past, quarter-past, half-past,
and the royal box was still empty. If
punctuality be the politeness of princes,
this was an unmannerly prince indeed.
At last a chamberlain, or something,
came to the front of the royal box and
tapped thrice with his wand. The whole
house rose. Then appeared the Kaiser
in-plain, plump, not interesting-on the
arm of the little yellow King of Siam.
Behind came the Kaiser Stif1y he NOV
ed to the front of the box; stif1y he
brought his heels together and drew
himself up He seemed to bring him
self into position in pieces; you could
see him squaring his shoulders; you
could see him initiating his chest. Then,
with a fixed, unmoving face, he pushed
his head forward perhaps two inches /;
that was his salute. A king who can
not smile is bad king who can not
bow is worse.
He fixed himself very bolt upright
and stared unwinking before him at the
stage. The curtain went up and the
ballet began; the Kaiser still sat without
moving muscle, face and figure
like that OF a statue. Now and again
the King of Slams questions became
too insistent; the Kaiser bent over for a
moment, as if he had one joint in the
middle of his back, and then drew back
to the jointless craven image. Once he
turned to somebody behind him, and, |
hoped, laughed. Laughter on that face
would be like moist grass in a desert
1t was all over. The Kaiser rose, squar-
ed his shoulders, inflated his chest, peck
ed at his people, and went. The last
| saw OF him he was giving his arm to a
princess: he looked like a colored plate
book OF etiquette.

IN EVENT OF EXTRA SESSION.
No Change in Personnel of Present
House Officers is Expected.

In the event of an extra session of Con-
gress reorganization of the House would
be necessary by the election, besides the
Speaker of clerk, sergeant-at-arms, door,
keeper, postmaster and chaplain. The
present indications are that there would
be no changes in the personnel of those
officers, and that the present incumbents
would be reelected.
The services of all these officers have been
eminenty satisfactory. and there has been
no word OF complaint or criticism against
them. These officers are elected by the re-
publicans IN caucus, and each of them, ex-
cept the chaplain, has patronage to dis
tribute amounting in the aggregate to
nearly 400 appointments.
In the lower offices a reorganization would
ultimately entail some changes. When an
officials representative gDes out the
appointee goes also. by the unwritten rule
that prevails, and eighty-five members OF
the House. not all republicans. of course,
go out March 4. a.
Even If an extra session is called, how
ever, it is probable the changes in the
minor offices would not go into effect before
next December. as there is aFdisposition to
permit the employees who have done the
work during the winter to enjoy the salary
in the recess. -

Pettigrew suggested the absence of
quorum Forty-five senators, quorum, re-
sponded.
In pursuance of previous notice, Mr.. Pet
tus (lAla-) then addressed the Senate in OPP
position to the ship subsidy bill.
Referring to former Senator Edmunds. re-
puted to be the author of the original
subsidy bill, Mr.. Pettus said that the dis
tinguished Vermonter had demonstrated
"his ability to cipher around the truth"
He thought the provisions Of the measure
justified him in saying that Mr.. Edmunds
"as a senator of the United States could
never have written this bill"
Mr.. Pettus urged that the bill ought not
to be passed, not only because of the mill
lions 1t would draw from the treasury, but
also because of the principles involved. He
made constitutional argument against
the measure.
Mr.. Pettus likened the benefciaries un-
der the subsidy bill to two attorneys who
once had won in the courts by questionable
methods a noted case involving a large
amount of cotton. AS the two were divid-
ing the 5000 fee one Of them remarked,

EDITOR VAN METRE A, FAKIR.
Iowa Journalist COHfexses to Pull
fishing Big HOax,


fishing Big HOax.
CHICAGO, February 1S-A dispatch to
the Chicago Times Herald from Waterloo
Iowa says:
M. / Van Metre, editor of the Waterloo
Tribune, whose purported interview with
Pat Ciowe and confession from him In re-
gard to the Cudahy kidnapping case has
gone broadcast over the country, declared
the whole matter hoax.
In his explanation of the story the editor
states that the day before the publication
of his weekly paper found him without
enough matter to fill his columns, and
that, believing it would not be taken seri-
ously, he wrote and published the Pat
Grove yarn.
According to the Iowa editors story the
man said to be Pat Grove came to his
house after II o'clock at night, was ad-
mitted. was given food and was permitted
He was i'll a state of abject fear, and SEEM
ed all but hopeless of avoiding the officers
who are searching for him. In this alleged
confession the fugitive is reported to have
stated that he could no longer trust those
who had been his friends. owing 10 the big
reward offered for his apprehension and that
ne knew not which way to turn. The fugi-
tive told the editor, the story says, that the
feW hours sleep at the latter'S house was
the FIRST unbroken rest that he had had
for weeks. The fugitive is reported as
having explained that his only object IN
remaining in the vicinity was to secure the
buried treasure, and that so great was his
fear of detection that he could not come
to the point of going after it.
