Strange to say, lot of girls en-
ployed In a New York factory lately
went on a strike because there were
too many looking glasses in the room
in which they work. But the glasses
were not for their use; they were so
arranged around the desk Of the fore
man that he could keep watchful eye
on them. Not liking that kind OF es-
pionage, they struck. and when the
proprietor heard the case he sided
with the girls, and the mirrors had
to go.

SENATE WILL NOT
 CONFIRM DR. CRUM
MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES SEEM TO THINK ACTION OF THE. COM MlTTEE IN TURNING NEGRO DOWN WILL BE FINAL.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, February 13.-(Special)- There was an impression among sena- tors of both parties today that the upper branch of congress will endorse the ae- tion of the senate committee on commerce in rendering an unfavorable report upon the nomination of w. D. crum, who was appointed by the President for the Charleston collectorship.
 The statement was made by authority tonight that the President will not ask that the committees report be oyerriden and that in the event of Dr. Crum's de- feat a white republican of Charleston will be appointed to the office. In fact, 1t Is stated that the President Is anxious to get rid of the whole situation which has caused him considerable trouble and crit icism, and will approve any action which the senate may take to finally dispose of the Crum case.
 There was some talk current today that the President might withdraw Crum's name but this is not thought to be prop- able. It has been the intention of Sena- tor Tlllman to address the senate today on the negro question, but owing to the absence of Senator Spooner who by his Indianola speech started discussion of the matter in the senate, he refrained from so doing.
 MT. Tillman may talk tomorrow, and 1t is probable that he will be followed by Senator Carmaclx of Tennessee. Both senators are determined to attack the admlnistrations course in the matter Of negro appointments. An effort IS being made by some of the democratic senators to induce Senator Tillman to refrain alto gether from talking on the subject. They argue that MT. Tillman may deliver one of his characteristic speeches which may incense the republicans so much that they will force Crum's nomination. It is said to be probable. however, that Till man will have his say.

NOT TIME FOR TRANSLATION.
Russell Sage Says We Should Wait s
 Little While.

New York. February 13.-In a conver- sation on the subject of antitrust leg islation, Russell Sage is quoted as say ing:
 The trust proposition has not reach ed a stage where the evils have pre- sented themselves plainly and in a deh- nite form Legislation at this time will only work harmful results for no one can put his fingers on the danger spot
 The situation, as 1t appears to me, Is similar to case of illness with the trust as patient. The doctors simply watch developments and apply curatives at the proper time.
 Tt Is the same with the trust question in this country It will not be too late to watch developments and closely watch these com binations of capital Practical ly 80 per cent of them are young and a bad tendency can really be cured when these make themselves felt l am In favor of allowing time and the Ameri- can people to introduce proper legislation and at the proper moment"

COMBES OBJECTS TO
 TERM WEATHER COCK
DEPUTY IN FRENCH CHAMBER CAUSES GREAT EXCITEMENT BY E.sREsPEcTFUL REFERENCE TO TilE PREMlER-HlsSES.

Paris, February 13.-An exciting incl dent occurred in the chamber of depu- ties today when Maurice Binder, nation alist, sought to interpellate Minister of Justice Valle on the Humbert affair. The deputy declared that suspicion had long been directed against the cabinet over which presided that weather cock, Combes."
 A scene of great disorder followed this statement, the members of the left de- manding the removal of M. Binder. Pre- mier Combes sought to gain recognition, but as M. Binder continued to shout at the top of his voice, M. Combes and Valle and the other ministers retired from the house, the left party applauding and the right party hissing.
 The president, M. Bourgeois, then con- suited with the chamber which censued M. Binder. When he attempted to re- sume his speech the President suspended the sitting. The deputy continued his de- liant speech after the session was resum- ed, but he was finally slenced by the Presidents threat to cause his removal from the chamber
 M Valle made a brief rejoinder to the effect that his accusers were defenders of the Humberts and an interpolation on the subject was then postponed until after the budget shall be passed.

POOL SELLING BILL UP.
Committee on Commerce and Common
 Carriers Hears Argument.

Montgomery. February 13-tSpecial)- The committee on commerce and common carriers tonight decided that in as much as the house has passed on the elective railroad commission proposition, 1t would report the London bill back without recommendation of any sort.
 The committee took up the Arlington pool bill which allows pool selling on horse races at state and county fairs in counties of over 5000 people. Speeches were made against 1t by the Rev. A. L. Andrews, the Rev. Neal s. Anderson and Gen. John W. A. Sanford. A delegation of ladies from the federation was pres ent and were invited to speak, It was unexpected. but Mrs. Erwin Craighead modestly came forward and said their presence spoke for them. It was needless to say they were against the bill.
 The measure has surprising strength In the committee. but there does not seem to be any real 6snger of favorable re- port

TI-ADDICKS MEN
 MAKE PROPOSITION
suecEsTlTHAT EACH SIDE ELECT AU. S. SENATOR, PROVIDING, OF COURSE, THAT ADDIcks WILL NOT BE CHOSEN AS ONE.

Dover, Del, February 13.-At confer ence th.s afternoon the regular republican members of the general assembly submlt- ted counter proposition to the Addcks republican members, replying to their signed offer of last Thursday to go into a joint caucus of all the republican mem bers, Addicks to be eliminated.
 The regulars issued the following state ment in answer to the unions:
 'efo the Union Republican Members of
 the Legislature of the State of Della
 ware:
 "Gentlemen Recognizing the duty de- volving upon us to give to our state her full and honorable representation in the United States senate, and after giving careful consideration to your proposition of the 5th instant, and having desire to discharge our duty to our country, our state, our party, to ourselves and to all others, we are disposed to meet you in a fair way and adjust the differences exist ing between our factions in a manner creditable and with honor to both sides We hereby tender to you the following proposition, based on the reasonable and equitable plan of give and take:
 We will agree to join with you in the election of two United States senators, one of whom shall be selected by us and the other to be selected by you, pro- vided, of course, your selection is not John Edward Addicks."
 The twenty-first ballot for United States senator today was without definite re- suit. The first break in the solid demo- cratic ranks occurred today when Repre- sentative Allen of Seaford. who is re- garded as one of the party's strongest men, voted for Stevens (democraD in- stead of Rodney the caucus nominee. Strong pressure will be brought to bear upon the Addicks republican assembly, men between now and Monday morning to accept the proposition made to them today by the regulars. An element is at work to have the unions end the snar of two years by nominating Secretary of State Caleb R. Layton, an Addlcks ad- herent, for the long term senatorshp and accepting Col. Henry A. Dupont for the short term vacancy. Colonel Dupont would be the senior senator and Dr. Lay ton, who is several years his junior, would, 1t is contended, have every op- portunity of bringing about what he Ia now prophesying. a sweep of the state for Addicks next year. The regulars un- der tbeir signed manifesto of today would be bound to support him. This Is considered by some of the leaders to be the only solution of the wrangle.

SENATE COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Question of Trust Legislation on Basis
 of LlttlefieId Bill Taken Up.

Washington, February IS. - The senate committee on Judiciary today further con- sidered the question of trust Legislation on the basis of the Littlefeld bill, atten- tion being again monopolized by the ques tion as to whether all corporations should be included in the requirement. to make returns.
 Senator Bacon has offered an amend ment providing that the returns required shall only be mandatory upon large cor porations, but that 1t may be made ap- plicable to smaller ones in the discretion of the authorities having the matter in hand. Senator Bacon, Senator Hoar and others advocate provision on these lines, but other members of the committee ex- press the opinion that no mandatory re- quirement for returns should be made upon any corporation, but that the entire question should be left to the control of the executive department or the Federal government.
