matte than any OF the fiction that has
been written about him. Malatesta is
his own name and his family is one
of the oldest and most respected In

herited the title of count and would
have come into considerable property
II his family had not disowned him on
account of his revolutionary tenden

is in the public service In Italy today.
Malatesta was intended by his
father to be a scientist. and after an
excellent education under tutors was
sent to Milan University to prepare
for the study OF medicine. He was n
turbulent, headstrong youth, and soon
became the leader of the more restless
spirits at the university. Before he
had time to graduate he was arrested
as the leader of revolutionary move
ment, and although his people man
aged to get him out OF jail they in
formed him that henceforth they
would have nothing to do with him,
unless he changed his views about the
iniquity OF all forms of government.
This Malatesta promptly refused to do
and was invited by the family to go
and be hanged.
He plunged into all sorts of plots
against the Italian government after
that, and for his completely in the
riots of 1898 was imprisoned again.
After his release he went to America.
He seems to have spent most of his
time there in quiet conferences with
anarchist leaders. Emma Goldman
and Johann Most were his intimates.

any public statement to this, effect,

SOUTH AMERICAN SOUABBLE BE-
COMES SERIOUS.
England and Germany at Odds With
Venezuela.

The most serious foreign compli-
cation for an American power since
the war with Spai.l / 1898 was pre-
cipitated by ultimatums sent Mon
day by Great Britain and Germany
to Venezuela.
The ultimatums fixed a time limit
within which Venezuela must satisfy
the claims of the two governments.
If she fails to do so, the custom
houses will be seized. Formidable
fleets for this purpose are already on
the scene, and other warships are
fastening there.
The claims of Great Britain and
Germany against Venezuela amount
to about $2O,OOO,OOO. France, to
which about $5,OOO,OOO was owed by
the same power, recently obtained a
settlement by a separate protocol.
Admiral Dewey's great feet of 40
warships, now in Porto Rican waters

state of war is not very strongly
marked, except in the opportunity
afforded by the peaceful blockade to
effect a settlement without recourse
to actual bloodshed. The situation
is regarded as critical.

it is a case of when Greek meets
Greek. Senator Quay is leading the
fight for the bill as passed by the
House and has let his intention to
block all legislation until the Terri
torial bill is acted upon, be known.
"Commercialism in legislation" is
the favorite term of opprobrium with
which the opponents assail the bill
and the Senator from Pennsylvania.
They allege profit to Senator Pen
roses brother, who owns the majori-
ty of the stock in an Arizona mine,
and the Senator is himself accused
of being interested in railroad prop
critics which would be enhanced in
value by the passage of the bill. SEN
ators Hanna and Beveridge claim
that the bill should be considered in
caucus, but Senator Quay protests
that a caucus has no right to repud-
late pledges made in Republican
national platform.
RESTRICTING UNDESIRABLE IMMI-
GRAFTON.
The Senate has adopted the edu-
cational qualification for immigrants
in the immigration Bill now before
that body. By this means it is be-
lieved that it will be possible to ex-
cIude that mass of undesirable i'm
migrants who crowd the cities and
make the most undesirable citizens.
IF the bill is passed, as now seems
probable, every immigrant will have
to read intelligibly not less than
twenty words of the Constitution in
such language as he may prefer.
There has been strong pressure
against the measure brought by the
railroads and corporations who de-
Giro to command quantities of cheap
labor, but it is claimed the recent
coal strike and the violence which
attended it has aided the promoters
of the educational test. A. B. M.

Ou1 " @CSGS4s
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The President has recently been
brought face to face with the South
ern Republican situation by the case
of S. H. Wick, candidate for the post
mastership at Wilson, N. @. Wick is
a colored man and is opposed by SEN
ator Pritchard, because of his oppo-
sition to Senator Pritchard's organ
ization in the State. Wick says that
he opposed the Senator's organiza-
ton because it had for it's end the
elimination of the colored citizen as
a political factor in the State. The
President has said that, in no in
stance, would he regard mere color
as a bar to oficeholding and the Sen
ator has made the additional charge
that Wick is unwelccme to the citi-
zens of Wilson, a charge which can
be made in the case of every colored
officeholder in the Southern States
The President still has the matter
under advisement, and the outcome
is looked for with much interest.
IMPORTANT OFFICIAL CHANGES.
An important rumor has it's source
at the White House. It is to the eff
feet that Governor Taft of the Phil
ippines, is to be nominated to sue
ceed Mr.. Justice Shiras on the Su-
preme Bench, it being certain that
Mr.. Shiras will retire in the near fu-
ture. It is anticipated that the ap-
pointment will take place before the
end of the present session of Con-
gress. It is also said that Vice-Gov-
ernor Wright will be promoted to the
head of the Philippine Commission
and that W. W. Rockbill, Chief of
the Bureau of American Republics,
and Arthur W. Ferguson, Secretary
to the Philippine Commission, will
be added to the Commission, the lat
ter to succeed Prof. Dean @. Worces-
ter whose resignation is expected
soon. It is further known that should
a vacancy occur in the Chinese mis-
sion Mr.. Rockhill would be the Pres
ident's choice for that important po-
sition.
FIGHTING THE STATEHOOD BILL.
One of the bitterest fights the Sen
ate has known for years was initia-
ted yesterday when the Omnibus Ter
ritorial Bill was called up. Ever
since the report of Senator Bever-
idge's committee was made known
the lobbies and committee rooms have
been the scenes of passages at arms
and now the contest is transferred
to the floor of the Senate. As Re-

GENERAL NEWS
THOMAS B. REED.

The death of Thomas Brackett
Reed, Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives in three Congresses and
Member of Congress for Maine from
1875 to 1899, removes a man of great
force of character and of brilliant
intellectual abilities. Born in Port
land, Maine, where eight genera
tions of his ancestors had lived, Mr..
Reed was in many ways a typical
Maine man, shrewd, humorous, re-
sourceful, abounding in energy. His
college course at Bowdoin was paid
for by his own work, and he was
graduated with high honors both for
scholarship and literary talent. He
taught school, acted as paymaster in
the navy for a year during the war,
studied law, began practice, but soon
entered politics, of course as a Re
publican, and, after holding several
State Offices, was elected to Congress
In 1875. Here Mr.. Reed at once be-
came q power because of his readi-
ness in debate, his easy mastery of
important political issues, and his
remarkable executive ability in man
aging and controlling men and fac
tions. When he became Speaker in
1889, he found the House almost
evenly divided politically, and the
situation called for the most exact
knowledge of parliamentary law
joined with frmness and courage. It
was quite possible for the large mi
nority to block legislation and pub
lie business, and this power they did
not hesitate to exercise. Most legis-
lative bodies in recent times have
been forced to recognize the danger
of allowing unlimited obstruction,
and various forms of closure have
been adopted. The remedy, how
ever, should be applied by the legis-
latiFe body itself, or by it's presiding
officer acting under it's systematic
instruction and rules. Mr.. Reeds
action was autocratic, and therefore
the attacks made upon it were essen
TALLY just, although his action stop
ped the dangerous blocking of the
public work. One of his methods
was to complete a quorum by order
ing recorded as present on the roll
call the names of Democrats present
who did not answer to the call, there
by reversing the practice of the
House. The assaults upon the
Speaker as a Gar did not in the
slightest degree disturb his equanim-
ity, and in the end the Supreme
Court sustained his position. AS
leader of the minority after the
Democrats gained power, Mr.. Reed
fought as skillfully for minority
rights as he had before for majority
rule, and on financial and tariff ques
tions was a tower of strength to his
party. When the Republicans agair
came in power, Mr.. Reed was
promptly made Speaker once more
but resigned in 1899, left Congress
and began the practice of law IL

James Hayes, the colored lawyer
and conferee of John S. Wise in the
recent unsuccessful attack on the
new Constitution of Virginia, was in
the Office of the Clerk of the United
States Court at Richmond Saturday,
preparing papers in 48 suits for dam
ages against members of the Con-
stitutional Convention. The suits
are for $4,000 damages each, and are
brought under the common-law, prob
ably relying on section 1879, revised

The Outlook says that in the
House of Representatives the Com

decided not to report the Ship Sub
sidy Bill which passed the Senate at
the last session. Three or four West
ern Republicans on the Committee
stand firmly against the bill, and
these, with the support of all the
Democrats, are sufficient to prevent
favorable consideration at this ses-
sion.
