One can only at present speculate as to what such measure as might pass parliament would comprehend The first bill to go through would not be sweeping; it wouldf meet the popular demand in part only for the mills Of the English gods, when dealing with social grist, always grind slowly and rarely do more than throw out little at time. But they also grind surely and never turn the other way about. Re forms when once begun are certain here to continue and extend. No reaction IS likely So that the English workman' if he sees any kind of pension scheme offered to him, may confidently hail 1t with hope if not with satisfaction. Meanwhile, however, the Workmen tehmselves, through their trade and CO., operative congresses, have drafted Dill and it will come up in due time for par liamentary action. But no one imag- ines it will have the least chance or passing. It is too drastic and far reaching for that. It proposes, indeed, nothing less than a universal pension o1 five shillings a week for every man and woman in the kingdom, to begin at the age of sixty and to be provided for by imperial taxation.

London, Feb. 2S.-The Times this morning publishes an editorial on the triumph of Prince Henry in converting the cool friendlncss of his first recep- ton in the hearty enthusiasm which he now arouses in the breasts of the American people and says this popular ity has been won by tact and simplicity and bids fair to continue increasing until the prince leaves American shores.
 The editorial expresses sincere grati- f1cation at the manner in which the United States is meeting the advances of Germany, and adds: We may feel, at the same time, legitimate satisfac- tion that we did not wait until now to disclose our admiration and regard for the American people, but openly eX- pressed both at a time when they were

 MT. Turner maintained that the filing of such protests officially was in &C., 1 cordance with the custom of the Brit ish parliament and with the best par liamentary practice of this country up- on any question involving a constitu- 1 tional privilege.
 ''The senator is right" said the chair man, and the protest will be spread upon the minutes without objection It was so ordered.
 MT. Burrows of Michigan, chairman of the committee on privileges and elec- tons said that at the proper time an opportunity might be afforded the l senior senator from South Carolina to make his statement of privilege, but just now he felt constrained to object.
 Mr Hoar suggested that the protest spread upon the minutes be referred to the committee on privileges and elec- tions. 'I have no objection" said MT, Turner.
 MT. Bacon of Georgia said it occurred l to him that the protest was not mat ter for further action by the senate. | It certainly was a question of too great | importance to be disposed of hastily. | MT, Hoar contended that the protest was in the nature of a petition and ought, therefore, be referred to com mittee. Such action was entirely re- speotful He did not insist upon his suggestion, however, in view of the doubt in MT. Bacon's mind.
 Then the senate adjourned until to- morrow.
 Washington, Feb. 27.--The action of |. Lieutenant Governor Tillman of South Carolina in withdrawing the invitation to President Roosevelt to present a sword to a South Carolina officer for volunteer services in the Spanish-Amer- ican war has caused considerable doubt as to whether President Roose- welt will visit the Charleston exposi ton, as he had intended to do. To-day a number of telegrams on the subject Were received at the White house from South Carolina, and other states. It can be said that the telegram of Lieu tenant Governor Tillman has been re- ceiv ed at the White house and that nc attention Whatev has been paid to it. The resident has not yet considered what effect it may have on his propos ed visit to the exposition at Charleston
 The statement was made at the White house tonight that the president has not abandoned his proposed trip to Charleston.
 Washington, Feb. 27.--Followlng is the text of the letter written by Sena- tor Tillman to President Pro Tenn. Frye, which the latter referred to in the senate to-day: AS soon as you shall have announced officially that my name has been restored to the senate roll, I desire to rise to question of the highest privilege, and as I do not know whether you would recognize me, under the existing circumstances, I take this means of asking you to sub init my request to the senate for per- mission to do this and to give me an opportunity to state my reasons for do- ing so."

THE DANISH WEST INDIES

 propriately girdled with swords and pistols, his famous hirsute adornment ot navy blue floating in the wind, sweep ing the sea with an enormous spy-glass, in search of Spanish treasure -galleons and other ships to conquer After all this delightfully."- creepy" experience, 1t comes as a positive shock to hear cer- tain cold blooded residents of the town declare that there was never any MT. Bluebeard at all, and that the old castle was not pirates home, but was built by the Danish government for cononial purposes only about a century ago! Such heresy should not be tolerated any more than that regarding William Tell, and Barbara Fritchie, and Jonah-and- the-whale, and Sheridan's ride and oth- CT cherished gospels of our childhood.
 Other Charlotte Amalians will tell you no end of interesting legends con corning both castles. One of the most popular is to the effect that an Eng lishman named Foggarty (probably from Cork or Dublin, all those Emerald Islanders being "Englishmen" away from home), purchased the castle Blue beard about seventy-five years ago. Having been advised in a dream to dig for treasure in it's dungeons, he dug through weary and discouraging months, until at last when about to abandon the quest, he unearthed enough golden coin and silver plate and store of jewels to make him a veritable Croesus, The story goes that he had one dear little daughter, the pride of his heart and light of his life-"charming Kitty Foggarty," she is still called who had a skin of roses in cream, blue black hair and eyes of Irish blue. Of course she was the bell of the island, especially after her fathers stroke of good fortune and is described as sweet and pure as she was pretty. But the pirates ill-gotten gold brought black disaster along with it. Pretty Kitty ran away with the penniless clerk of the English consul, who failed to marry her after all, and thereby broke her ambi- tious fathers heart. She came back years afterwards, gray haired and un- beautiful, deserted by her scamp of a lover: to be forgiven by her then aged and half -crazed parent and to end her days in sad retirement.

 New York, Feb 27.--For the purpose of selecting courses for the coming ann ateur championship tournament, elect ing officers for the ensuing year and considering new legislation the dele gates to the annual meeting of the United States Golf association met to- night in this city. Besides the two vot- ing delegates allowed for each of the twenty-four associate clubs in the asso- ciation, representatives from many of the two hundred allied clubs were pres ent. President R. H. Robertson was in the chair.
 Previous to the calling of the meeting to order the principal subject talked over by the delegates was the spirited contest between the east and west TOT the possession of the amateur chapml- onshin tournament. The contest has been going on for weeks, and both fac lions were prepared tonight to urge their claims to the utmost, The selec- ton of the courses over when the opeu and women's championship are to pc held seemed to be of small importance as compared to the main amateur event No club seemed anxious to take either of the two lesser events.
 President Robertson presented long report to the delegates on behalf or the outgoing executive committee, saying II was not a question of doubt any longer that the association has outgroWn us constitution and the outgoing commit tee desired to recommend several changes.
 The first recommendation made by the old committee related to the repre- sentation of members without distnc- ton to class. It is proposed that in the future the distinction between the as- soctate members and the allied mem

Primo ceDines at White House.

Washington. Feb. 27.-Prnce Henry, accompanied by Ambassador Won Hol- leben dined at the white house to- night with President and Mrs. Roose- welt The dinner was entirely unofficial and of personal family character, and owing to the, Mckinley exercises haV- ing made this day of mourning, there were no formal toasts or exchanges. The purpose was to permit of more intimate personal exchange than was possible during the formalities of otfi- cial interchange last Monday. Others present at the dinner were General Non Plessen of the princes staff, Miss Roosevelt, Miss CareW, and Senator and Mrs. Lodge.

 by the poverty in which they have to pass their years of usefulness, could some scheme be devised assuring them of decent support in old age, and cheer ing them. as they still plod on through life, working hard for little pay, with the thought that when they can work
 no more they will get a pension with no stigma of either paupersm or charity
 attached to it. This subject has long been aglLateu both in and out of parlia- ment, and no one who has studied Eng fish life can doubt that finally some such scheme as the foregoing will be enacted into law Blessed for ever will
 be the government that fathers and ef- fectualizes such a measure of working class relief Besides showing mercy to
 the helpless poor, that government will have removed the greatest reproach that any one at present can allege against the British nation. Ad to the credit of England be it said, that, only for the inability of those favoring such
 provision to agree upon it's details, an old age pension bill would in all likel-
 hood have been passed some years ago.

 By sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home pro- duction, we shall extend the outlets for our increasing surplus. A system which provides q mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. We must not repose in fancied security that we can forever sell everything and buy little or noth- ing. If such a thing were possible, it would not be best for us or for those with whom we deal Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth of our won derfuI industrial development under the domestic policy now firmly estab- lished The period of exclusive ness is past. The expansion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are un- profitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not.
