british Cabinet Meeting

British Cabinet Meeting.
London, April 14.-Both the chan
cellor of the exchequer, Mr.. Michael
Hicks Beach, and the colonial secre-
tary, Joseph Chamberlain, attended
the cabinet council, held at the foreign
office at noon Saturday. Prior to the
meeting of the ministers, representa-
tives of the Bank of England had
conference with the chancellor of the
exchequer, indicating that the budget
was prominent subject of discussion
by the ministers, especially as to the
best means of issuing war loan.
London, April 14.-In consequence
of the prominence given by the after
noon newspapers to the report that
cabinet crisis had occurred, owing to
breach between Mr.. Chamberlain
and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, on the
method of raising war funds, Mr..
Chamberlain Saturday issued a signed
statement, saying that the report was
pure invention and absolutely untrue.
Notwithstanding the sensational
and diverse rumors evoked by the UNI
expected summoning of the cabinet,
public interest, as displayed in Down
ing street. was of an exceedingly Ian
guild type All the ministers were
present, with the exception of the
lord lieutenant of Ireland, Earl Cado-
gan, from which it was inferred that
the question of the immediate adop-
tion of a. more stringent policy to-
wards the United Irish league did not
occupy the foremost place at Satur-
days council.
Among the many peace rumors Sat-
urday morning the most interesting
is to the effect that the Beers have
intimated that they are willing to
come into the British empire, as junior
partners, to give up their flag and be-
come part of an African confedera-
ton, with flag of its own, with SUI
preme court and with practically an
| American constitution.

that I looked at him with scrutiny
that made him turn his head away UNI
comfortably.
"Morel" echoed I, sarcastically.
'More, did you say? I thought you
didn't believe in Netley's?"
HE seems to believe in it himself"
said young Mulion, still with. that air
of blunt, honest fellow trying to be
artful and cautious which had no.
ticed in him already that morning. "At
any rate, II it's possible that there's
poor chap among us addicted to SOM
nambulism, there must be no talk OF
trying to shoot him."
And he suddenly looked full in my
face in an earnest and even solemn
manner.
I was intensely puzzled. But at the
same time discarded the idea of the
| adventure we had passed through be-
ing the work OF sleep-walker. For
there is, after all, nothing shameful
about that unfortunate habit, and
there is no reason why there should
be any sorcary about the fact, if Null
1 lion 'or. anyone he knew of were adj
| dicted to it. On the contrary, the
more widely the fact We're to be known
the better it would be for the patient
| himself, since such habit could not
but be. especially on board ship, a
source of the grayest danger to him
self as well as to other people.
So laughed little and said boldly:
"If you really do know or suspect
anyone to be given to nocturnal ram
bles of that sort, you'd better war;

be placed in some important foreign
mission, rather than in the navy de
partment, but he preferred TO stay
az home.
The biographical notice OF the new
secretary, contained in the Congress
sional Record, is very meager, show
ing his political career in its barest
outlines. But it appears that he is
man of affairs, and it is particularly
gratifying for people interested in
the navy to know that he brings to
his new post a mind of experience in
governmental affairs, acquired
through his work for several yeaI 5
on the appropriations committee Of
the house. Mr.. Moody is a compare
! lively young man, being in his forty
ninth year. He is a lawyer by pro-
fessiOn. being graduate of Phillips
academy, AndOver, Mass, and Har-
ward university. He has been district
attorney for the eastern district Of
Massachusetts, ana has served in the
Fifty-fourth. Fifty-ifth, Fifty-sixth
and Fifty-seventh congresses, being
elected as a republican. He was born
in Newbury, Conn, but now resides
at Haverhill. Mass.
Mr.. Moody is on the District OF Co
lumbia committee of the house ap-
! preparations committee, and is in
that capacity well known and liked
in Washington.
A statement has been published in
effect that Representative Moody,
nominated to be secretary of the
navy. is a relative of Senator Lodge,
of Massachusetts,. The fact is that
Representative Moody is not in the
rHmotest way connected with Senator
I odge by either marriage or blood.
The two have been frie lds for very
many years, both being graduates OF
Harvard university, where they ,wero
well acquainted as students.

a Man OF Affairs.

Mr.. MOody's selection for the post
of secretary OF the navy was the out
come of an interesting contest. There
were no less than half a dozen ap-
plicants. but the struggle finally mar
rowed down to the two representa-
tives of congress-Mr. Foss, Of Hi
nois, chairman of the naval commit
tee of the house, who had the ener-
getic support of his western col
leagues, and Mr.. Moody, for whom
Senator Lodge and others made a
winning fight. 1t was for a time in
doubt whether Mr.. Moody would not

had done that much, and no more
but it was no simple matter to carry
it out. Gideon appealed TO some
thing like a hundred patients who
owed him money and managed tr
collect just 1925.
81 can eat on that" he reasoned,
eff l only can get transportation"
Back in St. Louis Gideon had stood
pretty well on the paper for which he
worked, and he wrote a long and pa
thetic appeal for a railroad ticket.
He didn't expect TO get it, but he did.
Then he was happy-as happy. almost,
as if he had all the money that was
due him.
About an hour before Gideon was to
start back for civilization, says the
Chicago Tribune, rough-loOking
man came running up TO the office
Gideon was about TO vacate and ex-
citedlv informed him that a girl was
dying in a camp just outside of town.
"She must have ct poison" said the
fellow. "She's awful sick"
Gideon thought he might just as well
make one more charity call for good
measure. so he took his medicine case
and raced at the mans heels out TO a
camp that was remarkable, in most
part. for the number of dogs it shell
tered.
"Show me the patient quick" com
nanded Gideon. Il haven't got any
time to waste"
From somewhere among the dogs
and wagons they produced a girl that
would have been comely indeed had
not her features been distorted with
pain. Gideon felt the patients pulse.

man, who now owns l,2UO acres Of

Fortune was fairly forced on Gid

Gideon was too poor 10 do anything

That is why he owns the l,2OO acres
of Indian lands-a tract that is
worth $4,000 at present and is in
creasing in value rapidly.
Gideon made up his mind to quit
the newspaper business 13 years ago
In his youth he had studied medicine

bright indeed until Gideon began tC
try to collect his bills. Everybody
was sick, it seemed. but no one had
the money TO pay the doctors bills.
Those were trying times in Oklahoma
and Gideon was only one of many
who filled to make ends meet. The
harder Gideon worked the poorer he
became. He managed To get enough
TO eat, but that was all. When n
clothes wore out he was forced to

mained there ever since. 1t is sup
posed that his trouble with the BuI-
garian officials began at that time,
and that he found it impossible to
maintain relations with them. Until
full report of Bulgaria's action is
received from Minister LeiShman by
mail the state department will prob
ably do nothing in the matter. 1t is
: likely, however, that Bulgaria's at
! titude viii have an important bear
ing on the determination by the
United States of the question of re-
sponsibility fov Miss Stones abduc-
ton.
Minister Leishman is now engaged
in conducting an inquiry into the
circumstances of the abduction and
the subsequent ransom negotiations,
with a view of ascertaining whether
Turkey or Bulgaria was in any meas
ure responsible for the indignity Of
fered to an American citizen or for
causing the numerous delays in the
accomplishment of the attempts of
American agentS, including Mr., Dick
insOn, to bring about Miss Stones re-
lease. The abduction took place on
Bulgarian territory. Mr.. DickinsOn's
explanation of his difficulties with
the Bulgarian officials is awaited
with interest, and any accusations he
may make Will be given careful con-
sideration. Should any claim for in
demnity be made against Bulgaria.
Il will not be less in amount than the
ransom paid, $40, 200, for Miss Stones
release.

Immense Power Of Frost.

A notable quaTTying feat has inst
been accomplished at the Rubislaw
granite quarries, Aberdeen. A large
stone had been drilled ready for
splitting. when the thought struck
the foreman that nature might aid
in the object 20 be attained, the idea
being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes, and it
was found after a couple of days
that the block of granite had COM
pletely burst open. An idea of the
immense power of frost will be
gathered when it is stated that the
stone thus detached has weight Of
