AGAINST CORONATION EMBASSY.

William j. bryan Expresses His
Views to New YorI's Thirteen
Club.
New York, April 13.-The Thirteen
Club of this city had a dinner tonight
at the rooms of the New York Press
Club. The business before the club
was the making of a formal protest
against the United States sending an
embassy to the coronation of King Ed
ward. William j. Bryan was invited,
but instesad sent a letter which read
in part:
81 am entirely in sympathy with you
in your criticism of the action of the
administration in sending a special
commission to represent this country
at the browning of a king. The most
eXtrayagant demands of courtesy and
international friendship do not require
us to surrender our convictions in re-
gard to government, or our disappro-
val of legal birth or military force as
foundation OF governmental author
ity."

TAFT'S MISSION TO ROME.
me inject to Make n Business Deal
with the Pope to Get Rid of Friars
in PHILIPPINES.

IN philippines.
Washington, April 1s.-In admins
tration circles in Washington there has
been some amusement over the talk
raised about the so-called mission to
Rome. The facts are that Gov. Taft
has impressed very strongly upon the
President and the Secretary of War
that the question of getting rid of the
Irlars was of vital consequence to
peace IN the Philippines. and
that to accomplish this it
was necessary to deal directly
with the head of the corporation in
vowed, Rome. After much considera-
tlon 1t was decided that Gov. Taft
should stop at Rome on his way from
the philippines to consult the church
authorities and see if it would not be
possible to come outright to some
agreement. There would be nothing of
any kind or shape in the matter which
would suggest anything in the way of
diplomatic relations. 1t would be
purely business transaction.
The United States government is
neither favorable nor hostile to
any particular sect. 1t desires to treat
all alike with exact justice. 1t does
not wish to do injustice to the friars by
taking away their lands without COM
pensation. On the other hand it recog-
nlzes that although the Christian Fill
pinos are practically all Roman Cath
olics they are nevertheless a unit in
demanding that the friars leave the
island. Gov. Taft better than any
other man could explain this state of
things at Rome 1t is believed if an
honorable and satisfactory arrange
ment can be reached the result will be
most beneficial to the islands and that
probably no other one thing could do
as much good.

POLICE KEPT NEW YORK DRY.
Naines Law Hotels Did Big Business,
but Customers Had TO Buy sand
witches.

but Customers Had TO Buy sand
witches.
New York, April 1S.-The New York
er who wanted a drink of intoxicating
liquor to-day discovered that the en-
forcement of the excise law,
through the combined efforts of the
uniformed police and the members of
the State Liquor Dealers Association,
had assumed several new aspects. The
first was that while it was much hard
er than heretofore to get a drink in a
saloon holding merely liquor tax GER
tificate, it was much easier to obtain
one IN a Raines law hotel. The buyer
also found that while last Sunday he
was served either with a plate of
cheese and crackers with his drink. or
was given a sandwich, to eat or not,
as he chose, to-day he could not buy
a drink without also buying a sand
witch.
Saloon men who were seen during
the day seemed to think that the police
activity had much to do with the sa-
looms being kept closed tightly for the
most part and argued that the hotel
men were doing business because they
had been studying what they could
and could not do with impunity. The
Raines law hotels throughout the city
were, as a rule, exceedingly well pat
ronized.
In the Tenderloin district there were
very few places without a. hotel license
that made any attempt to do bust
ness. The district, it was said, was
closed tighter than had been known in
years. The plan eof selling in rooms
over head the saloon and similar ruses
were done away with, seemingly for
the reason that the dealers thought the
trouble too great and the compensa-
ton too small. The police of this dis
trict were very active, as well, and
there was but small attempt to do
business. Up to o'clock in the even
ing there had not been an arrest in
the precinct for violation of the excise
law.
In the West Thirty-seventh district,
where the trouble started, two weeks
ago the same condition prevailed. The
police were active, the saloons closed
and the Raines law hotels doing a big
business. There was but one arrest in
daylight hours. In the other parts of
the city somewhat similar conditions
prevailed
At / o'clock police headquarters re-
ported forty-one arrests in Greater
New York for violation of the excise
law, as against III for the twenty-four
hours Of last Sunday.

BACK FROM THE SIEGE OF PEKIN

Even the prosaic typewriter may at times become a souvenir of historical interest.
 The Remington Typewriter Company recently recovered one of its machines that had passed through the siege of Pel;in in 1900. It appears that when the Boxer uprising began the Rem ington" was in the home of Edward K. Lowry, late second secretary of the American legation at Pekin. His home was footed by the Boxers and the type writer taken.
 One year later Chinese gentleman brought the nameplate to MT. Lowry and asked if he knew the probable worth of a machine of that kind.
 Lowry thought he did, and further more told the Celestial that the name plate was undoubtedly from his own machine. The machine was buried when the allies entered Pekin. and re- mained in the ground for over nine months. When recovered the type writer wore a coat of rust: the paper keys were all loose; the wooden bot tom of the cover decayed, and dilapida- tion prevailed generally. It was taken apart. soaked in kerosene, cleaned, and put together, and it now writes appar ently as well as ever.-New York Com mercial.

Last winter. while Will N. Harben he often met Frank R. Stockton at the Authors Club One afternoon Harben told Mr. Stockton of his new book, and added that he had been trying to ge, up his courage to ask to be allowed to send it to him when it was publisheds Stockton assured MT. Haroen that ne would be glad to see it. but just then another novelist sauntered across the room and said:
 Prank D. has just sent me copy of his last bsok and wants me to review it. I suppose you are often bored with similar requests?''
 1t was an awkward moment for Stockton and Harben, but the former was equal to the emergency.
 Well" he said. carelessly, "it is rather hard to write reviews of books for friends when one is busy writing novels, but l do certainly like to read books written by men I know
 The conversation took turn, and Harben walked away lie thought the matter had passed out of the mind or the genial humorist, but few minutes later Stockton came to him and said:
 T don't want you to forget to send me that book. I am greatly interested in it." But MT. Stockton never lived to receive the promised first copy" He died while MT. Harben was reading the proofs of the novel;

MYSTERY.

o, why are darkness and thick cloud Wrapped close forever round the throne of God?
 Why is our pathway still in mystery trod?
 None answers, though we call aloud. | The seedlet of the rose | While still beneath the ground. Think you it ever knows The mystery profound i Of it's own power of birth and bloom, ! Until it springs above it's tomb? The caterpillar crawls Its mean life in the dust, l Or hangs upon the walls | A dead aurelian crust. Think you the larva ever knew Its gold-winged flight before it flew: When from the port of Spain f Columbus sailed away,
 And down the sinking main Moved toward the setting day; Could any words have made him see
 The new worlds that were yet to be? The boy with laugh and play, Fills out his little plan, Still lisping day by day Of how he'll be a man: But can you to his childish brain
 Make aught of coming manhood plain?
 Let heaven be just above us,
 Let God be e'er so nigh,
 Yet howsCe'er lie love us And howsOe'er much we cry. | There is m SDppch that C.an cIa1r The thing that doth not yet appear % Tis rot that God loves mystery;
 The things beyond us we can never know.
 Until up in their lofty height We grow, And finite grasps infinity. -MinCt Judson Savage.

FIGHT AT CoNcoRbIA BRIDGE.

General Charles King. who was in Omaha recently, was asked to give his opinion of the most exciting event that happened during the war in the Phil ippines.
 He said. ''Of course the taking of Manila by Dewey and the land forces attracted the most attention, but to my mind, as I now recall it, nothing compared with the battle of the Fili- pinos which took place on the morning of February at ConCordia bridge. In short time after the command was given to advance, the firing became fast and furious, and it was not all on cur side, either. But we won the day. When We had time to look about it was found that seventeen officers and privates had been killed and seventy six wounded
 Do you propose to continue in lit erary wCrk?' was asked.
 "I write from necessity, to set bread and butter for my wife and babies, :" was the reply. "As to when l will cease" ire added, that will depend upon circumstances"
 General King has written over fifty books, mostly having to do with mat ters oi army life. He is a versatile writer, and has the power tc group his characters in such a manner that the reader never grows weary of following them. Some writers have too many characters in their books, but not so with General King.
 In appearance General King is below the average run of men in height, but is well proportioned. His features are those of q soldier-sharp. and at times severe-yet he can smile. and does of- 1 ten.-Omaha World Id.

ROBSON AND THE BARBER.

When Capt. Hobson was at the Cha tauGua assembly he entered a barber shop where ne was not known. He got into 9 chair and the barber commented to discourse.
 "Of course it was a nervy thing to do. and HCbson did well enough, but that little trick at Santiago bay turned out to be boys play. And then that kissing business-say, if that wouldn't make q man sick. Any time pay good money to see Q man it'll have to be somebody at ain't made such a ring-streak ked ani striped fool Of

His knees felt wabbly, and he looked trifle pale, but screwing up his courage he grasped the hair of the man in the chair and turning his head looked into his perfectly deBured countenance.
 Are you Hobson?' he asked.
 Yes" came the reply in that deep, full voice that belongs to the hero of the Merrimac, I'm Hobson."

The English papers tell this story ol an incident in a revision court:
 A certain person who figured on the register was objected to by one of the agents, on the ground that he was dead. The revising barrister declined to accept the assurance, however, and demanded conclusive testimony on the point.
 And pray, sir how do you know the man is dead" demanded the barrister
 We'll" was the reply, "I don't know It's very difficult 70 prove"
 As I suspected" returned the iratt barrister. you don't know whether he's dead or not
 The barrister glanced triumphantly around the court room. His expression gradually underwent a change as the witness cooly continued:
 'I was saying, sir, that l don't know whether he's dead or not, but I do know this: They buried him about month ago on suspicion"
