in order to secure the principle of equal
representation in the United States Sen
ate for each of the States. The States
had been given assurances that this prin-
ciple should never be destroyed without
the consent of every one OF them. The
principle involved the election of a Sen
ate by body chosen by the people, but
removed from direct popular vote by
means of the State Legislature.
Two Houses of Representatives.
The proposition to have Senators elected
by direct vote simply means a rearrange-
ment of the two Houses SO that there
would be two Houses of Representatives
instead of House and a Senate. He did
not believe that this could be accom-
plished without breach of the national
pledge which lies at the foundation of the
Government, the adoption of which was
essential to the adoption of the Consti-
tuition itself.
Mr.. HOar referred to the statement of
Senator Berry, in effect that he had many
letters from people asking that this
amendment to the Constitution be adopt
ed. He said that he also had many let
ters, but he was convinced from the
wording OF them that they all emanated
from a single mind. He had hundreds of
letters. and all of them ended with this
expression: Il hope we will hear from
you" He asked whether any other Sen
ators recognized that phrase. and sew
eral Senators called out. Yes, do"
Mr.. Hoar was satisfied that when this
question was discussed before the Ameri-
can people they would not vote to do
away with the old guarantee that was
given the States
Will Oppose Proposition.
81 will not yield" said he. without a
struggle l will not consent to overthrow
this body until the American people have
thoroughly considered what they are
about"
Mr.. Hoar said that he would see that
this resolution was thoroughly discussed
in committee. He said he was not to be
hurried and the Senate was not to be
hurried in considering it If he could help
it.
Senator Berry suggested that Senator
Hoar did not have the right to prevent
the Senate from voting on the question,
no matter what his views might be. THE
Senate has a right to insist" he said
that the resolution be reported by the
committee"
Senator Stewart agreed with what Sem
ator Hoar had said and pronounced the
entire proceeding to have Senators
elected by direct vote of the people as
revolutionary. He said there were many
reasons besides those that had been given
by Senator Hoar against the adoption of
such a resolution. Rich men could very
much more easily buy their way into the
Senate through a primary than they
could through a State Legislature.
Other Means Available.
The difficulties that now attend the
election OF Senators by Legislatures. re-
sulting in deadlocks and the failure of
State to secure representation in the
Senate. could readily be overcome by
other means, and it was not necessary to
resort to a direct vote by the people in
order to correct, that evil. In his opinion
when this change is made, If 1t ever is
made. II will be a short time before the
equality Of the States is destroyed.
Further discussion was objected to by
Senator Gallinger, who had private pen
sion bills to pass. and nothing was done
regarding the matter.

Mr., HOAR OPPOSES
POPULAR Vote PLAN
Says Project Aims at Foun-
dation of Constitution.
A REVOLUTIONARY MEASURE
Declares That the Proposition Would
Make Two Houses of Representatives
"A Breach of Nationsl Pledge-Will
Not Yield Without Struggle.

| II is apparent that the question OF a
| proposed amendment to the Constitution
to make Senators elective by direct vote
of the people instead of by the State
LEGISLATURES is likely TO come before the
Senate at this session and be discussed
at length with much more serious con-
sideration than ever before.
AS stated in The Times on Monday Sen
| ator Burrows, OF the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections, will soon take up
| the question and make a report to the
Senate on it. The committee has received
| intimations from number of Senator'S
| that there is much interest in the subject
| throughout the country.
The Question Brought Up.
A breezy discussion of the question was
started rather Unexpectedly in the Senate
yesterday morning.
The House bill proposing an amend
ment, recently passed unanimously. is in
the hands of Senator Burrows committee.
and Mr.. Berry Dem-. Ark asked
that the committee should be required
to make a report either favorable or ad-
verse, so as to have action by the SEN
ate upon 1t.
He enquired of the chairman of the
committee whether a report may not be
expected in the near future, in time to
give the Senate a chance to act on 1t dur
ing the present session. He stated that he
is receiving many letters from his con-
stituents asking If action cannot be Sc
cured.
Mr. Burrows Response.
Senator Burrows answered that the
question is under consideration and that
report undoubtedly will be made. He said
that several propositions have been in
troduced In the Senate and alluded to the
bill passed by the House.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon added his
plea to what Senator Berry had said.
urging that action be pushed In the mat
ter.
Senator Hoar made a short speech
against the entire proposition. He as
serted that It is the first serious PROPOSE
tion to destroy the principle upon which
the Constitution was founded. Other
amendments have been for the purpose of
extending human liberty.
He referred to the great struggle that
was made in the constitutional convention

Disease Germs.

Many persons have erroneous no.
tions as to the ease with which bac-
terra are destroyed by heat. In fact.
the thermal death point" for bac
terial organisms varies widely. Some
forms of water bacteria are killed by
simply blood heat, while pathogenic
bacteria develop best at that tempera-
ture. During their multiplying and
vsgetating phase Of life bacteria are
more easily destroyed by heat than
they are after passing to the resting
or spore stage. Some spores derived
from the soil require boiling for 16
hours to insure their death. Moist
heat in the form of steam is the most
effectual disinfectant. No spore, how
ever resistant, remains alive after one
minutes exposure to steam at the 14O
degree Centigrade. But no degree Of
cold has been found sufficient to de-
stroy bacterial life.

Vienna has the severest cycling
code of any city in Europe. No one
may ride bicycle In the streets
without a certificate of proficiency.
Ladies must be able to mount and
dismount from both sides of their

number of dummies. All cyclers are
photographed by the police, and this
photograph is fitted into little book
containing the rules for cycling in the

The Care of Fish.

Fish should be allowed a gallon of
water each, that is, for every fish of
medium size. say three inches long.
The bottom of the aquarium should
be covered one-half inch deep with
sand; there should be water plant
enough to furnish the fish with oxy-
gen and absorb the carbonic acid, and
also few tad-poles and snails to act
as scavengers. These conditions are
for self-sustaining aquarium, where
no change of water is necessary. If,
on the contrary, the fish are kept in
globe, say of half-gallon to two-gal-
Ions capacity, with four or five full
grown fish. at least half Of the water
must be changed daily. II the fish
are but half an inch or two inches
long, and each one has a half-gallon
of water, water need be added only
to replace the loss by evaporation.
Whenever the fish come to the sur
face. 1t indicates that the water or
part of it at least, should be fresh
ened. They should be fed each day
only as much as they eat up clean

Ernest NJ. Stires, recently called to
New York. DR.. Locke tell this story
of how his quickwitted wife once
saved him from an awkward situation.
One afternoon, while enjoying a good
book in the parlor, his wife noticed a
woman coming up the front steps
whom he particularly detested. The
doctor fled precipitately, leaving his
wife to meet the caller. After half
hour had passed DR.. Locke came out
Of his study and listened at the head
Of the stairs. Hearing nothing below
he called down to his wife: HAS that
horrible old bore gone yeti" The
caller was still there. Mrs. Locke was
equal to the emergency, however, and
she called back: "Yes, dear, she went

The Russian empire contains more

is a veritable tower of Babel. Even
with the omission of Siberia and Cen

the Firms, in the west the Lithuanians
and In the east, on the banks OF the
Volga, numerous groups of Uralo-Al-
taic populations, the Tchermisa. Mord-
va, Votiaki and Permians. In the
southeast there are the Tartars In
Crimea and Greeks on the Sea Of
Azof. Add to this the sporadic groups
of Germans and Jews. All these nu-
merous elements have In a great meas
ure commingled. The history Of Rus
sia is the reverse. properly speaking.
of that of the United States. While
in America there is an Aryan invasion
proceeding from east to west, in Rus
sia there Is an Aryan invasion going
from west to east The center from
which the Slav emigrations set forth
seems to have been the region of the
Dnieper and Galicia. The upper tribu-
taries OF the Dnieper were settled first.
The Slavs then reached the Baltic and
founded Novgorod the Great. Later
(from the 11th to the 18th centuries)
they invaded the basin of the Volga
and founded successfully Moscow. Mil
Novgorod. Saratof and many other
cities This movement is still going
on. The American far west" has
counterpart in the "far east" of 81
IBERIA. Nearly 100000 Russian colon
lists settle there every year. But. while
the Aryans Of America have almost
extermniated the population of the
redskins, the Russian immigrants have
commingled with the ancient popula-
tions OF eastern Russia. The Russian
people are thus In their sum total
mixture of Slavs and Firms.

were afterward called. Gregory en-
