A MOTION OF CENSURE
An Influential Conservative in the
Commons Out After Mr..
Broderick.

London. Feb. 23.-The criticism of the
British war office eliminated to-day in
motion for a vote of censure on War
Secretary Broderick in the house of COM
mons The motion was inSthe shape Of an
amendment to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne regretting the fact
that the organization of the army was
not suited to the needs of the empire
and that no proportionate gain in strength
or efficiency has resulted from the recent
Increase of military expenditure
The motion was identical with an
amendment moved by Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the liberal leader, when
MIR. Broderick introduced his army re-
form scheme in 1901.
To-day, however, the vote Of censure
was proposed by Mr.. Beckett, an inf1uen-
tial conservative, who was supported by
a considerable number of revolving con-
servatives. In introducing the motion
MIR. Beckett declared that Mr.. Broderick
had deplorably neglected the greatest OPP
portunity ever given to a minister.
The fears that. the government might
be defeated were made the most of earlier
in the day by the bears, who influenced
the sharp relapse which took place in
consols on the stock exchange causing
depression of the general list.

A MEAN RAILROAD CASE
In Which the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court Decides Against the
Road.

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Justice Dean in
the supreme court to-day handed down a
decree in the case Of c.. D. Lorraine VS..
the Pittsburg, YOUNGSTOWN, Ebensburg &
Eastern Railway company reversing the
decision Of the common pleas court of
Cleartield~ county, which was in favor of
the defendant.
The plaintiff is a soft coal operator on
the line Of the railroad which Is his only
outlet to the market. On Nov: 10 the COM
pany notified Mr.. Lorraine that on the fol-
lowing day, unless he sold his coal to the
American Union Coal company, which is
controlled by the president of the railroad
company, no cars would be furnished him.
He was offered $3.50 a ton by the Am erican
Union company and he claimed to be able
to demand So in the open market
Mr.. Lorraine applied to the Clearffeld
county courts for writ Of mandamus
against the railroad company to compel
the latter to supply him with cars.
: The petition was dismissed because the
suit was not instituted by the attorney gen
eral Of the state and because the defen-
dant company was not a corporation in
Clearf1eld county alone.
Justice Dean decided that the company
was bound to furnish cars as a common
carrier and ordered the issuance Of the
writ of mandamus.

assigned rooms adjoining those occupied
by Representative and Mrs. Heatwole. It

close proximity Of gentlemen who are SO

lobby Of the hotel they shook hands cord.

They have met several times since and
will be thrown together a good deal during

Governor Van SAINT expects to see the
president before going away and may be
expected to counterfeit the possible effect
Of anything that may have been said by
Representative HeatWole last week.
Mr. and Mrs. J. S. McLain Of Mime

until congress adjourns on March 4. They
are at the Raleigh hotel.
The governor called on Secretary Shaw

ILL-RRED CHILDREN

Miss Fioretta vinIns Complains OF the
Children of the Rich.
Boston, Mass, Feb. 23.-Miss F1oretta
Vining, a well-known club woman and
general censor Of morals, has started a
new crusade. Her last theme was that
Of the evil Of intemperance among women
and that went the country over. Now
she complains Of the ill-breeding and poor
manners Of the children of the rich and
welI-to-do and her caustic criticism, based
upon visits to the first families of this and
other states, will be read by them with
becoming humility. u
According to Miss Vining, the modern
child is mighty poor specimen. She
hurls imprecations against the coming
race, calling them ell bred'' and without
manners. She wants a change made in
the present method of dealing with chill
dren and wants thrashing handed out lib
orally.
Children are ruined in these days by
kindness, thinks Miss Vining, and softened
by the lack of a good whipping occasion
ally. The vice of extravaganza among
children also is growing, and also the fault
Of avarice, which inlpels the children con-
stantly to tease their parents for money.
The mothers come in for criticism from
Miss Vining, and she bewails the fact that
the mothers leave the care and teaching
Of children to servant girls, with the re-
suit that the children acquire shockingly
ill-bred manners.

read and write the Turkish language; and
fourth, amnesty for all persons who have
been arrested for political offenses.
The scheme for administration and
financial reform in Macedonia, as pro-
posed by the powers, besides planning a
more equitable collection Of taxes, pro-
vides that local expenses shall be a first
charge on the revenues of each vilayet.
In the event of there being a surplus,
this may be sent to Constantinople.
Measures are also demanded for compell-
ing the Albanians to respect the law.
Turkish Objections
The power which it is proposed to give
to the inspector general Of gendar1nerie,
whose appointment or recall and whose
successor must be confirmed by the pow
ers, thus virtually detaching him from the
direct control of the authorities at Con-
stantinople, is almost sure to encounter
opposition from the Turkish government.
The latter also will most likely object to
the proposed financial arrangements and to
the basis on which it Is planned to recruit
the gendarnerie, which, were the sugges-
lions of the powers carried out, would in
several districts be practionally entirely
composed Of Christians owing to their
predominance in certain parts Of Mace
donia.
It Is understood, however, that the pow
ers are determined to admit Of no modi-
fcation Of the reform scheme, but to de-
mand it's application without delay It is
said that they are prepared to adopt CO.
ercive measures to insure its being scru-
pulously carried out.
Turkey Buys Maxim Guns
An imperial trade has been issued au-
thorizing the Turkish minister of war to
purchase ten additional Maxim rapid firing
guns.

The Canadian Pacific Road Pays
$7,50O,OO0 for the Beaver
Line Boats.

London, Feb. 2s.-The negotiations for
the purchase by the Canadian Pacific Rail
road company of fourteen Beaver line
steamers from Elder, Dempster & Co.
were satisfactorily concluded to-day. The
price paid is not yet disclosed, but it is
said to be about s7500,0oo. The deal is
regarded here as having an important
bearing on the proposed Canadian fast
mail service, as it probably will eliminate
the tender Of Elder, Dempster & Co. there
for, and leave the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road company in better position to Sc
cure the contract.
