o God, the Father Of our Lord Jesus
Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of
Peace, give US grace seriously to lay to
heart the great danger we are in by our
unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred
and prejudice, and whatsoever else may
hinder US from Cody union and concord;
that as there is but one Body and one
Spirit, and one hope Of our calling, one
Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God
and Father of US all, so may we be all of
one heart and of one soul, united in one
holy bond of truth and peace, Of faith and
charity, and may with one mind and one
mouth glorify Thee, through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Seven years ago the Enterprise actually
made mistake, publishing an item
which was not founded on fact. tOf
course the error was on account of the
unreliabity of our informant) Last week
another mistake was made. We stated

floor covered with a big lot Of goods
ready for delivery to the American Beet
Sugar Co. The company not being able
to hire teams to do necessary work on its
farms was forced to buy 10 span of
mules in the Kansas City market. The

send out 70 the factory was for these pa
tent workers-lS sets of double harness

SONS AND DAUGHTERS
OF OLD MICHIGAN
DIED IN PHYSICIANS OFFICE.
Senior Don Enrique Santibanez, of Mex
lean Embassy, Victim of Heart Failure.

Senior Don Enrique Santibanez, for
many years the second secretary, and
recently, in the absence of the secretary,
acting secretary OF the Mexican Embassy
in this city died suddenly yesterday morn
ing of heart failure. He was about forty
five years of age and unmarried. The
body was removed to the undertaking es-
adjustment of Mr. w. r. Speare, on F
Street. where it will remain until the
funeral arrangements are completed.
Nothing has as yet been decided upon
regarding the interment of the body other
than that it will not be removed to
Mexico.
Senior Santibanez was connected with
the embassy here for the past seventeen
years. During the past two years, how
ever he has been in failing health, suf-
fering with throat and lung trouble which
eliminated in an attack of the grip.
Until Tuesday he had been attending
to his duties at the embassy despite the
continued loss of strength. but that morn
ing he became so weak that it was neces-
sary for him to remain in his room at
the Corcoran Hotel and call in a physi-
clan.
Yesterday he felt somewhat better and
left the hotel to go to the office Of DR..
J. J. Richardson. but few doors away
on Fourteenth Street. He had reached
the steps leading up to the physicians
office, when he was seen to totter, and
before help could reach him he had fallen
to the sidewalk.
An employee in DR.. Richardson's office
was at his side in a moment, and, with
assistance, removed him hurr;edly into
the Office where he died.

INCREASE THE NAVY.
Address of Senator Clark Before Sons
of Revolution.

A largely increased navy was the key
note of the speech of Senator William A.
Clark, of Montana, at a meeting OF the
District of Columbia Society, Sons of the
American Revolution. at Barton's last
night Col. Archibald Hopkins presided,
and nearly 100 members of the society
were present. Senator Clark said in part:
with the great coast line of this coun-
INV | believe il should be the policy of
the United States to Immediately take
steps to materially increase and strength
en- the American navy.
'In that early day when the history Of
the North, South and Middle Colonies
there was no West then-was being
formed, there was a noticeable absence
in the people of many of the customs pre-
| yailing in Europe. They differed even in
| that day in that their love of liberty pre-
dominated.
Il do not know the ideas and purpC,
of this society, but l do know this much
that it is sufficient scope to kindle and
keep alive in our minds and hearts a love
| for the men who toiled and struggled to
| found nation in this country that can
not be destroyed, even though every
Power of the world may work against it.
THE same motives that actuated those
men TO participate in the revolution are
burning in the hearts of the American
people today. Recent events have dem
onstrated this. This great people is diff
ferent from the peoples of Europe, who
are obliged to maintain immense stand
ing armies and powerful nayies.
But when we do get into scrap We
can. within few days. summon the men
we have educated and are ready to meet
any of these other peoples of the earth.

Senator Mcmillan Presents
Underground System Bill.
Proposed Legislation Is Greatly Favored
by District Committee-Would Cor
rect Many Defects.

general telephone bill, aimed to COR
| rect all the important defects in the pres
ent law. was introduced in the Senate
yesterday by Mr.. Mcmillan, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee.
The measure will probably be the tele-
phone legislation of the present session
There has been much complaint for sew
eral years past over the irksome restric-
lions which, Intentionally and uninten-
tionally, have been permitted to become
part of the law, and the regulations OF
the Commissioners under it.
Applicants Have Trouble.
1t has been impossible, in large num-
Der Of cases, for applicants for telephones
to secure them, because the company was
prohibited from stringing wires either
overhead or under ground. At the same
time the overhead wires and their poles
have continued to deface the streets.
against the wishes of everyone concerned,
because of the prohibition against tearing
up the streets.
The object of the present bill is
to remove all overhead wires
portions of the city. and to allow
the telephone company to construct the
necessary conduits to comply with this
requirement. 1t Is also provided that
conduits may be laid in some instances
where there are at present no wires and
no telephone facilities.
1t is stipulated that in every conduit
constructed there shall be provided 4 suf-
ficient number of ducts for the free use
of the police and fire service of the Dis
trict.
Commissioners Given Power.
The Commissioners are authorized and
directed Ito grant permits to carry cut
the provisions Of this act" and they are
further authorized to grant permits to
amy corporation now operating a tele-
phone system in the District of Column
bia" TO make house connections neces-
sary to provide telephones to subscrib-
ers.
The proper authorities of the United
States are authorized to grant permits to
construct conduits through the public
grounds under their control.
One of the significant provisions Of the
bill is that wires may be strung between
public buildings when no poles are re-
quired for the purpose.
A fine of $25 per day is provided for
violations of any Of the provisions of the
bill by the telephone company.

the Dark Continent, but one of the richest
men in tie world, and he was probably
regarded, outside the Prime Minister of
England, the most powerful subject of the
British sovereign. 1t was at this time
that William T. Stead said of him: He is
the only man in the West with ideas that
can be compared for a moment with those
of the Pope of Rome for comprehensive
scope and breadth of his purpose"
Then came the Jameson raid II is now
known that Rhodes planned it and used
all the power of the office he held to
further it. That he did not succeed was
due some have said. to the fact that
Rhodes left the arrangement of impor-
tant details to others. When ii failed the
feeling against Rhodes was so great that
it was generally believed that the star of
the ''uncrowned king of South Africa"
had set
Would Tell the Truth.
When he was summoned to London to
testify before a Parliamentary committee,
appointed to investigate the raid. some Of
his friends advised him to be discreet. To
them his answer was:
IN be discreet, but I'm not going to
lie about it,"
And later, after Jameson had been con-
victed and sentenced and Rhodes was
asked what he thought of it, he made a
characteristic reply.
What a tribute. he said. ito the NOR
al worth of a nation that has jumped the
world"
Not long after the Parliamentary in
vestigaton Rhodes successor as Premier
of Cape Colony was appointed, and he
sent in his resignation as a director of
the Chartered Company. No one doubts,
however. that, although only stockhold-
er, Rhodes still remained the directing
spirit in that great corporation.
Prisoner in Kimberley.
When the war between England and the
South African Republics came on Rhodes
prisoner for many months until the siege
was raised by General French and his
forces. who had fought their way up from
the south. 1t was the capture of Rhodes
that the Beers desired above all things
and had the capture been effected there
is little doubt that Rhodes career would
have ended then and there. for the Beers
hated Cecil Rhodes az nation seldom
hates an individual.
Rhodes lately came into prominence
again through the arrest or Princess Rad
twill who is charged with forging the
name of Rhodes and other prominent
South Africans to notes for large amount
of money.
Extent of His Fortune.
Rhodes maintained a town house at
Kimberley and a country place near Cape
Town, which he called Groote Schwr. The
name is the Dutch for great barn. The
place was destroyed by fire a few days
after the Jameson raid, but was rebuilt
Rhodes fortune was estimated any
where from $50, OOO, 600 to 500. 100000. He
never married. s.
