ofsthe commerce committee of the sem
ate, and he will be confirmed by the
votes of:the republican majority in the
senate ~
1t will be recalled that the failure to
confirm Crum at the last session Of
congress was due to the fact that
enough republicans on the commerce
committee joined with the democratic
members to give a majority vote ad-
verse to his confirmation. Some of
these republicans voted as they did on
the understanding that if Crum failed
of confirmation the president would
not give him a recess appointment and
the whole incident would be- closed.
President Roosevelt is understood to
have given some of these men prom
ise that he would drop Crum if the SEN
ate failed to confirm him at that time.
Certainly he gave the people of
Charleston to so understand. After. the
adjournment of congress the pressure
of negro politicians upon him was too
strong, however, and the result was
Crum's reappointment.
Now, in view of these facts, some Of
the members of the committee who
voted against Crum before have come
to the conclusion that the only posi-
BILE way to get rid Of the Crum bust,
ness is to confirm his nomination.
They feel that the same influences
which have shaped the action Of the
president in the past will control IN
the future, and that so long as Crum
exists Roosevelt will stick to him
Therefore, they will let the democrats
stand alone in their opposition to the
negro official.

Announcement of the Vote Caused
Only Slight pemonstration-Mi-
nority Were Left Out
in the Cold.

A Washington special says: The
house, Thursday, by rising vote OF
3s5 to 81, passed the bill to make et'
fectiye the Cuban reciprocity treaty
The dissenting votes were about equal
~ divided between republicans and
democrats, but there was no record
vote, the minority having too few
votes to order the yeas and nays. Inc
democrats, under the leadership Of Mr.
i Williams, sought to the last to secure
amendments to the bill in accordance
with the action of the democratic eau
Gus, but were defeated steadily.
Mr.. Williams made the final effort
when he tried to have the bin recon-
mitted to the ways and means COM
mittee, with instructions to amend
but point of order under the special
rule providing for vote on the bill
without any intervening motion was
sustained.
Mr.. Cannon received the applause OF
the democratic side when he entertain
ed the appal from his ruling made by
{ Mr.. Williams, the speaker, saying he
) preferred to err, if he erred at all, in
giving the house the giht to express
its will. The appeal was tabled by a
strict party vote.
The debate begun Monday was con
tinued up to within a few minutes OF
the hour of o'clock, the time appoint
ed to take a vote on the final passage
OF the bill. Mr. Williams made an
arraignment of the republican policy

sachusetts, made the closing speech
on the republican side, others speak.
{ ing on that side being Hepburn, OF
Iowa, and Watson, Of Indiana. Mr..
gBroussard (dem.), Of Louisiana op-
posed the bill, and Mr.. DeArmond
3 {dem.), of Missouri, supported it
The announcement of the passage
8 Of the bill caused only slight dem
oDstration.
Mr.. Mcclellan, mayor.elect Of New
York, occupied the speakers chair fo1
q brief time as chairman OF the COM
mittee Of the whole house.
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, an
swering statement on the republi.
can side, said that the democrats had
forced the talk on this bill and refer.
red to his proposal to have the vote OF
the minority amendment and then
vote on the bill without debate.
Replying to Mr.. Watson Mr.. Williams
said:
Protection is a system Of taxation
whereby many are robbed in order
that few many be hot housed by
legislation into artificial prosperity"
Mr.. Williams charged that the repub.
slscans did not dare enter upon the tar.
sif revision, for fear it would open the
doors to too extended a revision. Re
ferring to the power Of the republicans
1 to revise, he said they had a majority
in the house and senate and a very
large majority in the white house.
He asked them if they were
afraid Of their own common sense. Ad.
dressing himself to the majority, he
said some of their pledges Of prosper.

that their laws were keeping in power

Vessel Had no Papers.

At Charleston the yacht Athena
was seized by the United states reve-
nue. cutter Forward for violating the
revenue laws relating to vessels hav-
ing no papers. The yacht is owned by
parties in New York and is used for
pleasure parties in northern waters.
She is a twenty-five ton boat.
It appears that several days ago pa
pers for the sale Of the yacht to Geo.
Autrie were drawn up and the failure
to perfect the negotiations are respon
sible for the seizure of the boat by the
United States authorities. Autrie put
the boat into commission before pa
pers had been granted him, and when
he was waited on by the officers Of the
cutter Forward and asked for his pa
pers and not being able to produce
them, the boat was seized and the
master and crew placed under arrest.
The matter has been taken up with the
secretary Of the treasury.

The carnation Is an Old Flower.

Z
Pliny refers to tl7e carnation as hav-
ing been used in the days of Augustus
Caesar to give a spicy flavor to wine.
While greatly loved and admired by
the ancients, its improvement was not
much advanced until it found home
in England. The date of this event il
not quite clear, but is believed to be
about the year 1900. Chaucer wrote OF
its cultivation in 1886, from which date
! it has been considered florists flower
/ It was first called carnation by Henry
Lyle in 1878 and designated as a pink
in 1900. Edmund Spenser called il
corona ion,' which found little favor
