BALTIMORE FIRE COMEDY.
Maryland Legislature Showed Where
German Stood.

Washington. Feb 20-Irreverept func-
tionaries of the War Department have
been all a-grin over the Comedy of Err
rors performed in connection with the use
Of Federal troops as a home-guard for
Baltimore during the fire week.
1t appears that at the outset-as soon,
at least, as the extent of the disaster
and the demands of the situation were
realized-Senator German went to the sec
rotary of war on his own responsibility,
and asked in the name of Maryland for
the use of use Federal troops as could
be spared in the emergency. He Pledged
the legislature of the state, which was to
meet in special session to authorize the
demand so as to make the whole thing
technically regular. Beyond doubt, he
was actuated solely by a desire to do the
best thing under the circumstances and do
it quickly. The secretary prepared the
necessary order, the President signed it,
and the troops moved.
But the legislature, apparently anxious
to show that German had lost his grip on
Maryland politics. declined to authorize
the call for Federal assistance 1t de-
cided that the state militia would answer
every purpose. So he Federal authorities
were hung up between heaven and earth,
thanks to their undue desire 10 be Of
service. and the troops We're ordered back
again to their garrisons.
The legislature next, however, began to
hear from the militia. The clerks and
operatives who constituted the bulk of its
membership clamored for release, on the
ground that their employers were filling
their places, and they were in danger of
losing their livelhoods. About the same
time, some one discovered that the mill
tia's fire service was costing the state
$4,000 a day.
Then the legislature swung TO the right
about face, and began to besiege the gov
eminent of the United States to send the
Federal troops back again. The President
and the secretary of war concluded that
they had better take their time to think
over it before repeating their over prompt
performance. They. accordingly. lunched
together yesterday, and discussed the
whole question.

IRISH FIGHTING MAD.
Declare They Will Not Be Done Up in
the University Matter.

Dublin. Feb. 3O-The depth of the Irish
sentiment in the Roman Catholic univer-
sity question was manifested very clearly
al the big meeting to discuss the subject
in the Dublin mansion house the other
day The Lord Mayor. Mr.. Harrington,
presided Cardinal Logue in letter de-
nounced the fiction that the matter was
one In which the laby took on interest.
The Archbishop of Tuam wrote that, if so
well-meaning an Irishh minister as Mr..
Wyndham shouIa fail to do justice TO Irish
Roman Catholics in this great matter of
university education, the result would be
a fatal blow TO the British claim to gov
ern Ireland from Westminster. Mr. John
Redmond wrote: All l desire to say on
behalf Of the Irish party, and l say it
most emphaticaIly, is that we shall not
permit ourselves to be fooled in this mat
ter and that nothing short of the intro
ductien of a bill by the government deal
ing with the subject this question will be
accepted by us" The O'Conor Don pro-
posed the first resolution, whichh was
adopted enthusiastically, as follows:
That this meeting reaffirms the de-
mand so often and, We regret to say, so
fruitlesSly made on behalf of the Catho-
lies of Ireland for justice in the matter
of university education The following
resolution was also carried unanimously:
THAT, in the judgment of this meeting,
an essential condition of any satisfac-
tory scheme for the solution of the Irish
university question is that 1t shall estab-
lish complete educational equality" Mr..
Clancy, NJ. p, said that the Irish party
would endeavor to make things inconven-
lent for the government uutl this Ques-
ton was settled. The third resolution
adopted was as follows: That this meet
ing hereby emphatically declares that the
immediate settlement of the Irish univer-
sity question is matter of extreme ur-
gency in the interests of the country, and
calls upon the Irish members of Parla-
ment to use every legitimate means to
press this question upon the attention Of
parliament"

Teachers Meet at Russian Capital to
Discuss Affairs

st. Petersburg, Feb. l9.-Within the last
few weeks two congresses. of eminently
respectable character. have been closed
by the St. Petersburg police on alleged
political grounds. One Of them was COM

one Of the sittings the reader of a paper

PRODUCTION of evidence on the ground
that Dietrich was not actually men,
Der of the senate when the alleged
bride took place.
The effect Of the decision is that
man Is not an actual member of
congress from the time Of his cleo
ton until he shall have taken the
oath at the bar Of the house to which
he Is elected, and that he Is not
amenable to the law as a member
of congress and officer Of the United
States.
Verdict of Not Guilty.
Senator Dietrich has been released
from custody. Judge Vandevanter
after delivering his opinion, instructed
the jury to bring in verdict Of not
guilty and the district attorney en-
tered a nolle in the other cases against
Dietrich.
Jacob Fisher, postmaster at Hast.

New York, Jan. 8.-Democrats are
laughing yet at the hoax perpetrated
at the Mcclellan dinner Monday night
when Congressman De Almond Of
Missouri read a forged wireless mes
sage signed with the name Of Will

Mcclellan, Bourke Cochran and 9TH

Mr.. De Almond had just concluded
his speech when a telegraph messen-
ger, in the regular uniform provided
by one of the big telegraph COM
panies. appeared. A waiter took an
envelope from him and passed it to
Mr.. De Almond, to whom it was ad-
dressed. Mr.. De Almond broke, the
seal, and, after reading the message,
passed it along to Mayor Mcclellan.
The mayor. read the message and
In turn handed it to the POSTMASTER,
who, after reading it, passed it back
to Mr.. De Almond with the whispered
suggestion that it be read aloud. The
alleged message was as follows:

been laying the foundation for a fight
against Roosevelt and has talked to
many Of his friends about it.
1t was told in st. LOUIS three days
ago that on Jan. IL Mr.. Hanna would
say, finally, whether he would be a
candidate for president. That he and
Kerens had a long talk over the long
distance telephone from st. Louis yes
terday Is another corrOborative story
brought from st. Louis by another
friend Of Kerens who was asked by
the national committeeman to hold
himself In readiness to make q fight
for Hanna.
No Convention Call.
What makes the story that Hanna
is really a candidate easy for anti
Kerens republicans to believe is the
fact that they are already complaining
because Hanna has not issued the for
! NAL call for the national committee.
The committee met nearly a month
ago and fixed the time and place for
the national convention. The chair
man Is to issue the call and many
( friends of the president think he is
unduly slow in issuing it. .
If it be true that Hanna really
means to. become a candidate, his an
nouncement will make republican pol
! itics in Missouri wake up in a hurry,
Many republicans who have been
counted for Kerens won't follow him
into any camp that will lead away
, from Roosevelt.
