Injury which President Roosevelt re-
ceived in the fatal trolley collision at
Pittsfeld, Mass, forced him to undergo
a surgical operation in indianapolis Tues
day and brought his western tour to
sudden end. An abscess in his left leg
below the knee was treated by the sur
geons knife at st. Vincents hospital.
Later the President was borne on a
stretcher to his train. At 7:45 o'clock the
same night he left for Washington.
Announcement of the necessity for an
operation came as unexpectedly to the
public as it was sudden. After arriving
in Indianapolis the President had made
a speech and then gone to the Columbia
Club for luncheon. During the luncheon
the doctors held consultation and at the
end of the meal Secretary Cortelyou gave
out the announcement. President Roose-
welt, however, made another speech be-
fore going to the hospital.

Combining himself chiefly to English lit

Beowulf, the English Had and with the
mysteries and the Iniricle plays, and
pointed out that in both novel and drama
only what is true to life survives. The
novel as the drama, for they are the
same but holds the mirror up to nature.
In his ability to do this consists Shakes

shakespeare and few of the novels of
Dickens and Thackeray DIR. Penniman
showed wherein their greatness lay.
throughout the lecture 1t was shown
that the literature and the politics oil "a
people are mutual some times the one
leading, some times the other.
Feudalism in England was expressed

UNDERWOOD WINS HIS
FIGHT IN THE HOUSE

Washington, May 22.-Almost the entire
day in the House was taken up with the
amendment offered in the immigration
bill by Mr.. Underwood of Alabama, re-
curing an educational test for immi
grants to this country. 1t was adopted.
Mr.. Underwood urged the necessity for
the adoption of such a provision, insist
ing that the steamship companies would
see to It that the passengers pass the
test If they knew they would have to
carry them back unless they could.
Mr.. Shattuo and Mr.. Kleborg opposed
the amendment.
Mr.. Shattuc offered an amendment to
that of Mr.. Underwood which he said
would get around treaty rights and at
the same time make the rule applicable
at the places it was desired to touch. It
provides that all persons, whether able
to read the English language or some
other language. or not able to do so. who

Of the cabinet is directly connected with
the South African peace conference.
The Daily Chronicle this CFriday)
morning claims authority to say that
peace in South Africa is practically as
sured. This is also the impression among
the other newspapers and public, al
though the former do not go as far as the
assertion published by the Chronicle.
1t is understood that important dis
patches were received yesterday from
Lord Miner, the British high commits
sioner in South Africa, and from Lord
Kitchener.
The fact that the cabinet was sum-
moned so quickly after the arrival of the
delegates at Pretoria is regarded as a
good augury as the discussions at Pre-
toria could only have commenced Mon
day.
