CURIOUS CUSTOMS IN THE BRITISH
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

is escorted to the table to take the oath
by two other members of parliament.
This is one of the immemorial usages of
the house. 1t originated i'll a far re-
mote past when it was really necessary,
in order to prevent personation, that
two members of the house should
identify the claimant of a seat as the
person named in the writ of the return
ing officer. The precaution is no longer
necessary. But, so great is the reluct
ance of the house of commons to part
with any of its antique ceremonies, that
it is still retained; and, although rep
resentative may come to the bar of the
house as the unanimous choice of con-
stituency of many thousand electors,
and produce his credentials, he will not
be permitted to take his seat, unless he
can get two members to act as his
sponsors. To this rule there has been a
single exception. DR.. Kenealy, the
counsel for the notorious Tichborne
claimant, Arthur Orton, after his cleo
tion for Stoke-upon Trent, in 1875, ap-
peared at what is known as the "bar" of
the house, unattended by even one
member and, as he could not get any
body to accompany him to the table,
after the speaker had informed him of
the usual procedure, he was obliged to
leave the chamber. His inability to Sc
cure any sponsors was due to the fact
that he had been disbarred for unpro-
fessional conduct. Eventually, by a
special resolution of the house, moved by
Mr.. Disraeli, it's leader at the time, DR..
Kenealy was allowed to take his seat
without complying with the usual
practice.
When men assemble in a building, as
at meeting or theatre, the ordinary
custom is to uncover their heads while
they are seated, and to put on their hats
as they leave the building. In the house
of commons that custom is reversed.
Members can wear their hats only when
they are seated on the benches. AS
leave the house, they must remove their
hats. This custom is source of much
confusion and embarrassment to new
members, for the house seldom fails to
show it's resentment of breach of it's
etiquette, however slight. 1t will, with
out distinction of party, unanimously
roar with Indignation at new member
who, ignorant or unmindful of parlia-
mentary custom, wears his hat as he
walks down the floor of the chamber
About six years ago, an offending mem
ber, startled by the shout which greeted
him as he was leaving his seat, with his
hat on his head, instead Of in his hand
paused in the middle of the floor and
looked around with a mingled expires

feet, to see if he were wearing hat in
place of what the English call "boots,"
and it is impossible to conjecture what
might have happened, had not an Irish
member walked up to him, and amid
the laughter of the house, having re-
moved his hat for him. then handed it
to him with a courtly bow. The
hat plays many important parts in
English parliamentary customs. 1t also
seems to contribute to the gaiety Of life
in the house Of commons. No incident
is greeted with more hearty laughter
than the spectacle Of member, after
magnificent peroration, sitting down on
his silk hat on the bench behind him.
The bashful and awkward member
the misfortune has befallen all old and
cool parliamentary hand" like Sir
William Harcourt, and has somewhat
marred the immediate effect of at least
one of his most eloquent speeches. A
certain Mr.. Webster, when a newly
elected member for division of London
(St Pancras), after his maiden speech
in 1896, sat down OH new silk hat
which he had provided in honor of the
auspicious occasion and, as he was rue
fully surveying his battered headgear, to
the amusement of the unfeeling specta-
tors, an Irish representative, whose name
I think it desirable to omit, arose and
gravely said "Mr. Speaker, sir, permit
me to congratulate the honorable mem
Der on the happy circumstance, that
when he sat upon his hat, his head was
not in it," The call of "Order! order"
from the speaker, was drowned by the
sounds of laughter.
In probably every other Legislative
chamber in the world, each member has
a special seat assigned to him. But, al
though there are now some $40 members
of the house of commons, the chamber,
strange to say, was built to accommo-
date little over half that number; and
the only members who are certain of
seats, are ministers and ex-ministers,
the occupants respectively of the So
called treasury bench and the first op-
position bench. The result is that, on
occasions of great interest, there is al
ways scramble for seats. A large
crowd of members gathered at West
minister during the early hours of the
day on which Mr.. Gladstone was to in
troduce the Irish Home Rule bill Of
1892, and when, after hours of waiting,
the doors giving immediate entrance to
the chamber, were opened at 7 a. M, SO
great was the rush for good seats, that
several members were slightly hurt.
) On important occasions, a member Sc
cures seat for the evening by leaving

IheSe ancient, but unWr1tten regula-
tions were the subject of definite and
specific rulings by the speaker four or
five years ago. After the split in the
Irish party, when the personal relations
between the rival sections were decidedly
strained, one Irish member took possess
sion of the seat upon which another
Irish member had placed his hat in the
usual way. On the aggrieved member
bringing the matter publicly, under the
notice of the house, the speaker ruled
that he had all unquestionable right and
title to the seat. Again, in connection
with the fight for places on the occasion
of the introduction of the Home Rule
Bill in 1892, the house was informed
that DR.. Tanner brought with him to
Westminster, that morning, about
dozen soft hats, and with them secured
twelve seats for colleagues, who did not
visit the house till the ordinary hour of
meeting in the afternoon flour o'clock);
and, again, the speaker ruled that the
only hat which could secure seat is
the real bona fde headgear of the mem
ber, and not any "colorable substitute"
for it. During the influenza epidemic
of 1896, the speaker, in mercy for the
hatless wanderers in the lobbies, went SO
far as to recognize a card left on the
bench, as substitute for hat.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that
members are not allowed to refer to each
other by name during debates. The
only member who may be addressed by
name, is the chairman who presides
over the deliberations of the house in
committee. On member, rising to
speak in committee of the whole house,
he begins with the words, "Mr. Court
ney," and not with "Mr. Chairman" as
at public meetings. When the speaker
is in the chair, the formula is, "Mr.
Speaker, SIR In debate member is
distinguished by the Office he holds, as
''the right honorable gentleman, the
secretary for the colonies;" or ''the
honorable gentleman, the member for
Leeds" Some speakers make use of the
terms, "my right honorable friend" and
''my honorable friend" The rule is
that the word honorable must be used,
and it is a rule that has led to some
curious results. In the year 1894, two
members were expelled from the house
after their conviction for serious offences
and yet, in the discussion that took
place prior to the expulsion of these Of
Tenders (who had previously been con-
victed), they were still punctiliously de-
scribed as ''honorable gentlemen"

Indemnity Question Prevents an Agree
ment at Picking.
Washington, March 2l.-Anothcr
communication was received yester-
day from Special Commissioner Rock
hill touching the complications that
have resulted at Picking from the
efforts of the various powers to
reach Il uniform basis for their in
dennity claims, but there is nothing
to Indicate that an agreement is
nearer than it was when the subject
was first taken up by the ministers.
Although the state department is
more than ever convinced that it's
suggestion looking to the reference
of the entire subject of indemnities
to The Hague commission is the true
solution of the difficulty, that prop
osition having been definitely reject
ed early in the negotiations, is not
now before the ministers.
No precise instructions have been
sent to Mr.. Rockhill within the last
few days on this point, owing prin-
cipally to the absence of the prcsi-
dent from Washington. 1t is pre-
sumed that, now that the presidents
attention is again directed to the
subject, there will be more complete
definition of policy.

Des NIoines City Council Cannot License

Des Moines, March 21.-Slot ma
chimes cannot be licensed. Such is
the opinion of City Solicitor Mershon
and Assistant Strock, just filed with
the city clerk. They say the slot
machine license ordinance is void.
This means that any Of the auto
matte devices which give IL stipulated
article in return for deposit of II
penny or nickel can be operated with
out license fee being paid to the
CITY. 1t also means that the slot ma
chine ordinance or license now in
force is of no effect and that the
two or three thousand dollars re-
ceivcd by the city from slot ma
chine owners was obtained without
any right legal Or moral. Those who
pnid were in reality paying black
mail to the city and those who did
not are just that much ahead. The
city aldermen were fully appraised of
the legal status of the slot machine
license ordinance when it was adopt
cd, but it was carried through on Il
wave of enthusiasm created by the
receipts from the gambling and
houses of prostitution license.

BOERS NAME TERMS.
Willing to Cease Fighting on Ger
tain Conditions.

London, Marcel, pa correspond
ent of the lines, who is near Bloem-
fontcin, gives the report that General
DcWet, General Botha and two other
Boer commanders, addressing force
of burghers at Senekal, Sunday, said
thew were still able to continue the
war, but were ready to accept annex
alton on condition that the British
would guarantee joint education in
Dutch and English, liberty to re-
tain sporting rifles Oh license, indem-
nifty to the amount Of 100000
pounds for burned farms, no fran
chises for natives and amnesty for
Ill beligerants still in the field.
General DeWet, according to the
correspondent, has gone north to the
Transvaal, after ordering suspension
Of active operations until his return.
The Daily Chronicle, protesting to
be able to give an outline OF the ne
gotiations between Lord Kitchener
and General Botha, says:
1.-The chief obstacle to settlement
was Lord Kitchcner's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders OF
the rebels in Cape Colony. He offered
sclf-government Oh the lines of ia
maica, Immediately upon the cessa-
ton of hostilitics, with Legislative
bodies partly elected by the burgh-
crs.
The government agreed to pro-
vide 100000 pounds to compensate
the Beers for property destroyed and
articles Communicated by the Beers
on commando, provided the sigma
lures of the officers who conlman-
decred the goods were forthcoming.
He also offered to grant loans on
easy terms for rebuilding anI re-
stocking farmsteads.
"Moreover, he agreed that the chill
dren should be instructed in English
or Dutch ut the discretion OF their
parents. The government undertook
to make no claim on church property
or funds of the hospitals or upon pri-
vate investments.
No burgher for either state was
to be allowed to possess rifle eN-
cept by special license.
General Botha was generally in
favor OF these conditions. but he dis
scented strongly from a proposal to
| give the full privilege of citizenship
to properly dcmlc,led and registered
blacks. He was also greatly con-
; cerned about the position Jewish cap
italists would occupy in the country
and was told that Jews and Chris
tions would enjoy equal rights, no
distinction being made in the mat

BOrlIA KEJECTs PEACE OFFERS.
Declines to Recommend Terms offered
by Kitchener to Beers.


London, March 2O.-Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
has informed the house of commons
that General Botha has rejected the
peace terms offered him.
General Botha, Mr.. Chamberlain
said, had Conveyed the information
in a letter to General Kitchener, in
which he announced that he was not
disposed to recommend the terms Of
oeace General Kitchener was in
,tructed to offer him, to the earnest
consideration of his government.
General Botha added that his govern
nent and its chief officers entirely
agreed with his view.
The issuance of parlia mentary pa
pers on the negotiations between
Lord Kitchener and General Botha
S delayed. General Botha's refusal
to accept the terms of peace offered
aim is commented upon with an evil
lent sense of relief. The idea that
Lord Kitchener initiated the negotia-
ions, instead of General Botha, as
mad been supposed, is unpa!utable to
the British press.
The Daily Mail, under the editorial
caption OF sour Rejected Suit" asks
why the government instructed Lord
Kitchener to sue for peace after the
murder of the peace ENJOYS, and COLI
cludes as follows:
LET the war be pressed to the ut
most and let further reinforcements
be prepared, for they may be needed,
but, above all, let us have no more
'negotia tions.'"
