Distractions on King Street

Orders we're issued recently that all
chicken coops must be taken from the
sidewalks on King street. This action
Oh the part of the authorities has caused
some green grocers to utilize show win
dows for the display of the feathery
creation, which is thought by purchasers
10 be an improvement over the old
hamper basket with covering of net
work. Justice Cation in rendering
decision recently on the display OF goods
upon sidewalks said that during busl-
ness hours there would be no action
taken against merchants who placed
goods near their front windows, when
such aggregations were in moderation
but after business hours it would be
necessary to remove such articles, while
none whatever would be allowed on
curbs. Some persons, it is alleged
have taken advantage Of the priViieee'
and are not combining themselves wi'nin
the limits designated by the fOiice
Justice, and complaint was maze al
the station house today of the procedure
Of certain persons in allowing ash
Loxes and other distractions to remain
on sidewalks. Mayor Paff was at the
station house this morning in conference
with Mr.. Cation and Lieutenant Smith
concerning these matters, and those
who violate the law will be summary
dealt with. 1t was stated that there
was no disposition to impede business
in any way, and that later on, when the
holiday season draws near, the law
might rot be 50 rigidly enforced, but
that at present there was no necessity
for blocking the sidewalks nor would 1t
he tolerated. 1t was also determined to
enforce the law against owners OF wagons
when they leave the same in the streets

SOLD FRENCH SECRETS
Non Commissioned Officer Did
Business at Japanese
Legation.

Paris March lin spite Of the Official
reticence and denials from the Japanese
legation here. it is affirmed that a non
commissioned officer named Martin. who
was employed in the ministry of marine
and who is now under arrest, attempted
to sell French naval secrets to naval
attache at the Japanese legation.
The discovery Of this alleged attempt
came as a result Of the accidental open
ing Of a. letter addressed to the nOn-com-
rnissioned officer by a naval captain of
the same name. This letter was from an
intermediary, but IL indicated the prln-
cipals in the affair. 1t Is alleged tnal
several women are implicated, and that
one OF them has confessed. It appears
now that only one document is missing
from the ministry OF marine, but it Is
possible that Martin photographed and
replaced others.
II is not likely that the information
alleged TO have been stolen got beyond
the intermediary, and 1t is said that the
Japanese naval attaChe who is supposed
10 have been in indirect communication
with Martin sailed for home GA board one
OF the cruisers which Japan purchased
from Argentine.
Prince Itchijo. who succeeded the jap
anese naval attache who returned home,
has informed the Petit Journal that Mar
tin wrote him four days after his arrival
in Paris proposing "A meeting to commu-
nicate important business. The prince
was indispOsed and in reply wrote and
asked Martin 70 state the nature Of his
business. Martin answered that he was
unable TO tell his business in a letter
and fixed another time and place for a
meeting. This appointment the prince
kept but Martin by that time had beer
arrested and therefore did not appear.

Didn't Hurt His Feelings.
New York Tribune)


Senator CulIom was one Of Lincoln's
intimates. On Lincoln's birthday he
told an interesting story about the
great president.
There was an ignorant man. he
said, who once applied 10 Lincoln for
the post Of doorkeeper to the house.
This man had no right to ask Lincoln
for anything. 1t was Necessary to re-
pulse him. But Lincoln repulsed him
gently and whimsically, without hurt
ing his feelings, in this way:
so you want to be doorkeeper to
the house, eh?'
Yes. Mr.. President
''-'WeIl, have you ever been a door
keeper? Have you ever had any ex-
perience of bookkeeping
Well, no-nO actual experience,
Any theoretical experience? Any
instructions in the duties and ethics Of
bookkeeping
" 'Umh-no.'
Have you ever attended lectures on
doorkeeping?'
- No, sir
Have you read any textbooks on
the subject
=" No
Have YOU cOnverSed with any one
who has read such a bOOk?'
." No, sir; I'm afraid not, sir
=" Wei, then. my friend, don't you
see that you haven't a single qualifea-
ton for this important pOst?' said Lin
coin in a reproachful tone.
g Yes, 1 do said the applicant, and
he took leave hUmbly, almost CRATE

ARMY BILL WILL NOW PASS
TEARS SHED BY oVERJOYED
DEPUTIES.

Budapest. Hungary. March 10.-The
obstructionist members of the Hun
garian diet have given up their fight
and the business of parliament will be
permitted to proceed.
To the surprise of the house d men,
Der of the Kossuth party, Herr Kolo-
man Thelay, at the opening of the ses-
sion urgently appealed TO the obstruc-
tionists not TO further oppose the re-
cruiting bin, which has been the OBJ
1ect of fierce opposition for many
months, partly on account of the hard
ship it would cause the army reserve
men and partly so that the premier
might be induced to abandon the pro-
posals of the president of the house to
enact more stringent rules for the con-
duct of the business Of the house. En-
thusiastic cheering greeted the appeal
and this was renewed when Herr The
lay left the opposition benches, pro
ceeded to the ministerial side Of the
house and, amid loud applause, shook
hands with Premier Tisza.
Members Shed Tears.
Many of the deputies were so over
joyed at the termination of the long
drawn-out feud that they wept. The
president of the house was so overcome
with emotion that he suspended the sit
ting. On its resumption, Herr Ugron.
in behalf of the obstruetionists. declared
they would support the speedy adOp-
ton of the recruiting bill. Public opin-
ion, ne thought, would recognize that
they had carried on the struggle for
the use Of the Hungarian tongue in the
army as long as possible, bat that they
had been compelled by falling strength
to give up the fight. The premier met
the ObstructiOnists half way. He said
! that TO make any comment would be to
mar the sOlemnity Of the occasion
The premier then asked the house to
/ forget he had proposed enactinG more
/ stringent rules of procedure
| Prolonged applause closed the scene.
! The conflict in the Hungarian diet
ended today turned chiefly on the de-
\ mand for the introduction of the Hun
garian language into the orders of com
/ mand given in the Hungarian regi-
ments. Emperor Francis Joseph, Sept.
| Il. 1903. issued an order emphatically
declaring that he would never consent
to the demands of the Hungarian party.

ORDER ISSUED
BY ROOSEVELT
Neutrality Proclamation to Be
Strictly Observed.
DUTY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS
CARELESS WORDS SHOULD NOT
BE SPOKEN.

Washington, March 10.-President
Roosevelt. after a conference with Sec
rotary of state Hay, issued the follow
ing executive order respecting the OBJ
servance of the proclamation recently
promulgated declaring the neutrality of
the United States between Russia and
Japan, the two cOmbatant nations in
the far eastern war now in progress:
An officials of the government, civil,
military and naval, are hereby directed
not only to observe the presidents proc
lamation of neutrality in the pending
war with Russia and Japan, but also
10 abstain from either action or ap-
proach which can legitimately cause
criticism to either of the cOmbatants
The government of the United States
represents the people of the United
States not only in the sincerity with
which it is endeavoring TO keep the
scales of neutrality act and even in
the sincerity with which it deplores the
breaking out Of the present war, but
hopes that it will end at the earliest
possible moment and with the smallest
possible loss to those engaged. Such a
war inevitably increases and infiames
the sUsceptibilities of the cOmbatants
TO anything in the nature of an injury
or slight by outsiders.
Too often cOmbatants make con-
fiicting claims as to the duties and OBJ
legations of neutrals, 50 that even when
disoharging these duties and obliga-
lions with scrupulous care il is difficult
to avoid giving offense to one or the
other party. To such unavoidable causes
of offense in the performance of ma
tional duties there must not be added
any avOidable causes. 1t is always IN
fortunate to bring old world antipa-
thies and jealousies into our life, or by
speech or conduct TO excite anger and
resentment toward our nation in friend
~ foreign lands, but in a government
employee, whose official position. makes
him in some sense the representative of
the people, the mischief of such action
is greatly increased. a strong and self
confident nation should be particularly
careful not only of the rights but of the
susceptibilities Of its neighbors and
nowadays all of the nations of the
world are neighbOrs one to the other.
Courtesy, moderation and self-restraint
should mark international, no less than
private intercourse.
"All the officials of the government
civil. military and naval. are expected
so to carry themselves both ir act and
in deed, as to give no cause of just Of
Tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power-and with all mankind
We are now in friendship.

LORD R0SEBERY MAKES FIERCE
ATTACK UPON PREMIER BALFOUR

London. March 10.-An extraordinary
scene disturbed the customary decorum
Of the house of lords this evening. In a
recent debate in the house of commons
Premier Balfour had used the word
calumny" with reference to some state
ment made by Lord Rose berry in the fiscal
controversy. When the house of lords
met today Lord ROsebery asked Lord
Lansdowne. the foreign secretary. what
Justification existed for the premier to
use such a ward. Lord LansdOwne pro-
CeodeQ TO explain the circumstances.
which concerned the alleged presentation
of two documents by Premier Balfour 70
the cabinet ON the fiscal question and the
subsequent withdrawal Of them. He ad-
mitted the premier had used the word in
the heat OF debate He said he thought
the circumstances justified some warmth
on the part of the pTemler. but that he
had consulted with MIR. BalfOur. who told
him that he did not desire to impute To-
Lord RosebeTy deliberate attempt 10
misrepresent him.
After Lord LansdOwnv had finished
Lard ROsebery again rose. and. declar-
ing the explanation had l.ot been salts
factory. he fiercely attacked the premier,
whom he accused of being 100 thin
skinned adding:
People who live in CLASP houses should
not throw stones. 1t is all very well to
defend such language By saying IL was
due to the heat Of debate and only pretty
Farny's way. If man cannot curb his
tongue better than that he is unfit 10
be the first lord Of the treasury.
- do not personally care a farthlnS
what language Premier Balfour uses
about me. and 1 only brought the matter
before the house in orde- to point out
that there are decencies of debate that
should be used even by those who occupy
the highest position"
As Lord Rosebery finished his TRADE
and sat down a painful silence ensued
and the lords looked ct each other un-
comfortably. After a long pause Ear
Spencer, the liberal leader, rose and said
