LEAKEsvILLE,

The resolution granting to the wo
men of the various states the right ts
vote for members of the house Of rep
resentatives was made the basis OF
hearing of the senate committee Oh
women suffrage. 81 live in the Dis
trict of Columbia, whore nobody
votes" said Mrs. Belva Lockwood
and | am just as good as a man. u
Both she and Mrs. Colby argued in
support of the constitutionality Of
the bill. In addition to announcing
her conclusions in behalf of her sex,
Mrs. Lockwood expressed the hope
that the congressional representation
of the southern states would be re.
dueed unless the negro citizens were
protected in their rights of suffrage.
The declaration brought smile to the
face of Senator Bacon of Georgia, who
is chairman of the suffrage committee.

Harry S. New, Of Indiana is not the
man slated for the vice chairmanship
Of the republican national committee
when Mr.. Cortelyou retires from the
chairmanship to go into the cabinet.
Just who will succeed in that place is
not yet settled, but it is argued that
News appointment might make it too
easy for Charles w. Fairbanks to cap
ture the next presidential nomination.
Mr.. Cortelyou is determined not to
carry the chairmanship into the cabi-
net, reports to the contrary notwith-
standing. The vice chairman, whoever
is selected, will practically head the
party organization until the next ma
tional convention names his successor.

The senate by a vote Of A to %
passed the Philippine civil govern
ment bill. The final vote was pre-
ceded by the presentation of many
amendments and general discussion Of
them as well as Of provisions Of the
bill. The discussion was confined quite
generally to the merits of the measure.
On some Of the amendments suggest
ed by Democratic senators several
western Republicans voted in the af-
firmative, but Mr.. McCumber was the
only Republican who voted with the
Democrats against the final passage
Of the bill.

The senate, which, under the Con-

impeachment cases, received official
notice of the determination of the
house to represent impeachment
charges against Hon. Charles Swayne.

There promises to be an animated
controversy over the question as to
the public building in which the in
augural ball shall be held. The house
leaders asserts that under no circum-
stances will they favor the passage of
the senate bill authorizing the use of
the Pension Bureaus building. Early
in the week they suggested that the
library Of Congress might be used for
he purpose. If that does not suit the
Senate that body will have the alter
native Of selecting the Capitol. Either
one or the other, the public leaders
say, must be taken.

One Of the important things in
Roosevelt's plan for the coming four
years is the work he has cut out for
George B. Cortelyou as head of the
postal service. The magnitude of the
undertaking may be partly realized
when it is recalled that the expendi-
lures of the department now reach
$1S0,000,000 a year. The service en-
bodies 27,138 rural mail routes, serv-
ing 100000 people, but this is mere
ly recently organized adjunct to the
great postal organization which ham
dies and delivers mail to the centers
of population.

THE IRISH LEADERS.
MISSION or John G. REDMOND AND
ASSOCIATES TO AMERICA.

Moral and Material support From
This Country For Their Campaign
at Home Desired-Reforms In the
Direction of Home Rule Expected.
The visit to America of John f. Red
mond and his associates of the Irish
party In the British parliament is
thought to mark a new step in the
progress of Ireland toward home rule.
Mr.. Redmond is now the leader of a
reunited Irish party. The differences
which for some years after the death
of Charles Stewart Parnen caused di-
visions in the Irish forces in parlia-
ment and prevented effective work in
behalf of Irish reforms have been
thrust aside. Unity having been ef.
fected once again, and a general elec.
ton being not far away, the time is
thought to be opportune for a cam
paign of education in America which
may result in both moral and material
support in this country for the Irish
leaders who are carrying forward the
battle at home. The delegation which
has come over with this purpose In view
is composed, in addition to Mr. Red
mond, of Patrick O'Brien, Captain A.
C. Donelan and Conor O'Kelly, all. like
Mr.. Redmond, members of parliament
The immediate object of their visit
was to attend the recent convention in
New York of the United Irish League
of America. The American branch of
the United Irish league was organized
three years ago by William O'Brien,
NJ. p, and has since given much moral
and material assistance to the move
ment for Irish reforms
With the close of this convention the
Irish leaders started upon tour of the
United States and Canada TO address
meetings in behalf of the Irish cause
and educate public sentiment on the
present status of the Irish question
and the reforms sought in parliament.
In outlining the situation as 1t exists
today Mr.. Redmond said:
Il have been anxious to come here at
this time because of the election which
is impending at home and which must
give to the Irish party a power that
will place it in commanding position.
We need the sympathy of the people
on this side of the water; we need

their moral support. The present gov
ernment is doomed. 1t is certain that
it is only question of months or per-
haps only weeks when it will have to
face q general election. Mr.. Chamber
lain, who broke up the Liberal party,
has broken up the Unionists and there
is no doubt that an election will result
in the defeat of the government Out
of this defeat will come the extra pow
er that Ireland needs. With eighty-hve
votes i'll the imperial parliament Ire
land will be able to swing as it likes.
She will control the house of commons
and with those votes will be able to
purchase the freedom that belongs to
her and her people The signs point to
our getting something in the direction
of home rule.
"When our opportunity comes want
the party to be strong financially, and
| have come here for the purpose of
asking the auXiliaries of the movement
to aid in getting together fund that
will enable us to carry all the seats to
which we are entitled in Ireland. The
land purchase bill is working well, but
slowly. Say fifteen years from now
the whole of the land in Ireland will
have changed hands, with some eXcep-
tions. There will be some landlords
who will not give up their holdings,
who will not sell and who will have to
be compelled to do SO. There are some
defects in the bill, but in time they
will be remedied."
The leader of the Irish party is a
man of magnetism and strong person
ality in every way. He is tall, mus
cular and sturdy, with Wavy black
hair and lustrous gray eyes. He was
born in 1856 in the famous county of
Wexford, his father, William Archer
Redmond having been one of the
landed gentry of the place and rep
resentative of his borough in the Brit
ish parliament for many years. Mr..
Redmond was educated at Dublin uni
versity and on leaving it entered the
bar, becoming one Of the most success
full Of it's junior members. The young
Irish landlord was elected to parlia-
ment, and, attaching himself to the
land movement then agitating the
country, he separated from his class
and took up the cause Of the oppressed
peasantry. His patriotism and forensic
abilities soon drew him into prolni-
nence in the movement. When the
division came in the Irish party on
the fall of Parnell, he sided with the
faction that remained with the former
leader.

some Of his admirers call him Long
Pat" He says very little, seldom
smiles and has plenty of courage. He
once called David B. Hill liar to his
face, it is said, but the two men are
now political allies.

whats this?" she inquired, picking
up weighty brown thing, which slip
ped out of her hand and dropped like
a heavy stone to the floor.
"That?' replied the senator. "Oh,
that's a tea biscuit baked by some
women reformers who are eager TO
get a bill through on some kind of sci
entific cooking. It's the finest paper
weight ever had"
The woman departed silently and
troubled him no more.

quainted with her through a runaway

the princess was riding and helped hel
to dismount, when the lovely girl faint

at first sight. But, knowing the usual
results of morganatic unions, the prin'
cess would not become his wife unless
he promised never to marry another
woman. The grand duke readily made
the promise and kept it. His wife is
one of the most accomplished women
in Europe. She is descendant of the
Russian poet Pushkin, who was de-
scended from negro, and that fact
together with the morganatic status
of the mother of the Countess Sophie

United States Senator Latimer Of
South Carolina made mistake he
didn't relish when he recently got into
a Republican meeting in New York

among Democrats and began to eH|o-

auditors knew the senator and humor
ed the situation by breaking into roars
of laughter. The senator quickly re-
allied his mistake, and he immediate
ly retired, followed by the laughter Of
the Republicans.

Michael is the cars only brother,
but he has four uncles, one greatuncle,
four first cousins of the male sex, ten
second cousins and thirteen third cous
ms. All these relatives except the
third cousins are grand dukes. The
birth of the czarowitz makes it less
likely that any of them will succeed to
the throne. Nevertheless the line of
succession is very carefully guarded.
The grand dukes are an expensive
luxury for the empire of Russia They
and the thirteen third cousins of the
