WHITTIER and m, Admirers,

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had. and this adj
miratio frequently took personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker
fashion. was describing these erup-
lions. "Thee hast no idea" she said,
"of the time Greenleaf spends in trying
to lose these people on the streets.
Sometimes he comes home and says,
We'll, sister, had hard work to lose
him. but have lost him." To this
Whittier pathetically added, But can
never lose n her"

In Malay the natives keep record of
time in the following way:
Floating in bucket filed with wa
ter they placed a cocoanut shell having
a small perforation, through which by
slow degrees the water found it's way
inside. This opening was so proper
toned that it took just one hour for
the shell TO fill and sink. Then a
Waterman called out, the shell was
emptied. and they began again.
Such trifies as minutes and seconds
were not needed on the peninsula.
Fancy any one asking the time in Ma

was half full!

SENATE IN DISPUTE
Republicans Submit Compromise on
Statehood and the Democrats
at Once Reject II.

Washington. Feb. aS.-All day there
has been talk OF compromise on the
statehood bill. II was eenerally un-
derstood that what was known rs the
Spooner compromise, being two state
bills drawn by the Wisconsin senator
would be satisfactory to republicans.
The terms Of this compromise have
been given before. save that the pro-
vision for the state of Montezuma pro-
yides that before Arizona can be set
off as separate state the population
of Montaxuma must be 70o,0D0 of which
800, 900 should be in Arizona.
The democrats while talking in a con
ciliatory spirit, said that they had lit
tie hope that the republican proposition
would be acceptable to them. They
say they want provision fixing date
which will bring Arizona into the UI,-
ion. This would not be satisfactory TO
republicans. While efforts toward a
compromise continue there are only n
few senators who expect an adjustment
to be reached and prospects of state
hood legislation are still remote.
There has been conference in the
state chamber after adjournment, par
ticipated in by Senator's Aldrieh, Quay,
Hanna, Foraker, McComs, Beveridge
and Kean, when it was definitely de-
cided that the propositions affecting the
compromise on two states would be sub
mitted to the democrats. Senator
Quay presented a memoranda of i'm
portant features of the compromise to
senator Bate who will present 1t to
conference of democrats called for to-
morrow.
1t is expected that the republican
proposition will be rejected and
counter compromise suggested. DEM
ocrats say they cannot accept COM
promise offered, and republicans say
that no further concessions will be
made.

DEMANDS PAYMENT
Bowen WIN Not Give Draft Asked by
Germany 10 he Payable At
Caracas.

Washington, Feb, ss,--Having failed
in an effort TO obtain from Bowen the
immediate payment In cash OF $500
pounds which it was provided In the
protocol of February Is, should be
paid to Germany within 80 days from
date Germany today requested Minis.
ter Bowen to give a draft for the
amount. payable in Caracas ON the lat-
er day. This later request was made
on behalf OF the German ambassador
by Herr RaltaExi, former charge DAFT
faires at Caracas.
Mr.. Bower was again forced to de-
cline this request which he did polite
iy. at the same time reminding Baltaxxi
that he was bound by the terms Of the
protocol which provided that the $500
pounds should be paid at Caracas on
the 18th day OF March to the diplomatic
representative Of Germany.
Just what reason was given by the
German representative for making the
request is not known. Such a draft,
however, il is presumed, would be ne
gotiable. and the result would be that
Germany could Immediately obtain the
money Il called for.
