FORTY A MINUTE.
When this marvellous production Of
Persian artists and weavers was
spread out before his majesty at
buckingham Palace he must have
been reminded of some of the scenes
depicted in the arabian Nights"
1t had been known for some DAYS
past that a special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon
the King, and there was some specula-
ton as to the object of his mission.
The secret was well kept, and it was
not until the arrival of the ambassador
at the palace that any Information
could be gained as to the contents of
the great packing case over which he
kept vigilant guard.
For more than two years quite a
little army of designers and weavers
has been constantly at work upon
the carpet and the result has been the
production of what even in Persia
must be considered a royal master
piece.
The design is very curious, complex
and certainly most ingenious; the
colors are perfect and faultlessly
blended; and the manufacture is flaw
less. The rug has been made entirely
by hand.

Still Working for his Downfall.

Now that the good fortune and the
artful diplomacy of NJ. White have con-
fused his enemies he is no better loved
by them than he was when they con-
spired to intrust him with mission
they believed he could not successfully
perform. 1t is learned at Washington
that even now those same enemies are
planning future traps for the eminent
statesman who has been favored by the
god of fortune. When he appears be-
fore his august master in the ira
ditional attitude of a slave there will
be many of his enemies to endeavor
to persuade the Gar that the formal
words Of self depreciation which he
must utter to conform to court eti-
quette are in fact only plain truth.

Only those who have been within
the charmed circle of the court at ST.
Petersburg can imagine the conditions
influencing this interview between the
Car and his representative who has
carried off the honors of the diplomatic
game that has recently been played to
determine the terms on which peace
could be concluded between Russia and
Japan.
The American imagines the Russian
statesman and diplomat returning to
the presence of the Gear with form
erect and countenance beaming with
just pride in having performed serv-
ice for which he would naturally ex-
pect to be received with honor. But
those who have been at the Imperial
Court of Russia know that no such
scene is enacted upon the return of
M. Witte.
With Bowed Head and Humbly
They know he will return to the
presence of his royal master, the Gear,
if he has already reached st. Peters
burg with bowed head, regretting that
he has been unable to serve his mas
ter in more worthy manner, and
praying, with the hunted countenance
of criminal, that he be forgiven for
having performed so poor service.
He will protest that if there can be
found any act of his own worthy of
favorable comment that that act is due
wholly to having obeyed the royal will
and having properly interpreted the
royal purpose. He will conclude that
act of humiliation by begging forgive
ness of his august master for his short
comings. No mental in America could
play the part of humility so earnestly
as will the distinguished diplomat M.
White.
ssThe attitude of statesmen of monar-
chical governments toward their royal
masters is one that cannot be under
stood by Americans and is known only
to those who have been in close touch
with them abroad" said a high official

WITTE In RUSSIA
RETURN OF THIS SUCCESSFUL
DIPLOMAT NOT A MARCH
OF TRIUMPH.
DespicabIe Manner in Which Divine
Royalty is Wont to Accept Valu-
able Services of Subjects.
Charles E. Kern.

There is pathos in the attitude of the
great Russian statesman, M. White,
largely to whose diplomacy the Car
owes the favorable conclusion of the
war with Japan, in his presentation in
person to his majesty, of a report on
the details of whose historic meetings
at Portsmouth which were so managed
as to save the face" of Russia, as
they say in the far East. 1t is difficult
for an American to understand the ma
ture of this meeting between Gear and
subject, and although we as a people
cannot admire M. Whites braggadocio,
we must in fact feel sorry for a man
who returns to his country after &C
complishing so much in her behalf and
finds it at once necessary to plan an
intrigue in order to prevent placement

Expectations That He Would Fail.

The return of M White to St. Pc
tersburg also has special interest
because, as is fully understood in The
inner circles of the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington, his appointment as a
peace commissioner to represent the
Car was given him not for his benefit
but was brought about by his enemies,
who expected that his failure to effect
successful peace negotiation would
be his permanent political undoing. It
was M. Witte who opposed the war and
favored its conclusion long before peace
was arranged. He was detested by the
military party, and the intrigues of the
Russian court placed him in an un-
comfortable position before the Car.
1t was argued that if he could be sent
on the impossible mission of making
peace when the entire court was con-
vinced that the attitude Of Japan would
make the peace conference failure, he
would return discredited and forced for
the first time in his career to approve
the continuance of the war, which was
desired by certain of the court digni-
taries up to the time peace was de-
clared.

Chicago. November 22-The Ameri-

up Tor consideration tomorrow is prob

league refused to discuss the affairs Of
the organization. 1t is said however
that the proposed amalgamation of the
American and the National League

two present majOr-leagues into a major

adeipnla and st. Louis, the teams of
the American and the National leagues
are to be consolidated and in other
cities where the two leagues now con-
dict the present National League clubs
are to be taken into the new National
League, while the American League
clubs in those cities are to be thrown
back into the minor league which is to
retain the name of American League
but which is to belong to class A. Of
the minor leagues. If this plan should
be carried out it would leave Comistari

proposed amalgamation plan 1t is said

Justices Walker and Brown dissent

ed an election held on the question
of saloons or dispensary. The coar'
holds that inas,nuch as the ~const-td-
tiOn prohibits persons from voting
who have not paid poll tax, such per-
son as come within this institution
are not authorized to call an election

dermen to purge the registration
books which board did, nor has the
court been inadvertent to the fact
that under former constitutional pro-
visions, a person who is elector is ell
gible to office though not registered,
while under amendment to the consti-
ton no one is eligible to office unless
he is a voter. The court declares
that same pl blic policy which re-
auires the payment of poll tax and
registration in addition to qualiflca-
ton as to age ard residence to constl-

who asks suffrage of voters, Judg-
ment below is reversed.
Justice Brown writes dissenting
opinion. in which Justice Walker con-

a person who is registered, and is not
necessarily a qualified voter under the
constitution. 1t further holds that The
aldermen had no right to take off
names from the registration books IN
exparte proceeding, without notice to
persons to show why they had not
paid taxes, and that the general elec-
ton law provides machinery for this.

notable case of Gattis against KilgO

fore that court, is written by Justice
Connor, Chief Justice Clark did not
sit. A majority of the court is of tie
opinion that there is no evidence OF
malice as to Duke and no evidence
that kilgo took part in the publica-
ton of his speech in newspapers. The
judges are equally divided as to
whether there is any evidence that
Kilgo was actuated by malice in
printing pamphlets containing his
speech. Two judges hold there IS no
evidence which requires that the case
be submitted tc the jury, other two
holding there is such evidence. This
being division, the judgment belo'v

FEDERATION OF LABOR
Governor Pennypacker Replies to
Request of the Convention Asking
That Certain Labor Legislation be
Included i'm Call for Extra Session of
the Assembly

Pitts1urg.. November 22.-One of the
most interesting features of today s
sessions of the American Federation
of Labor convention was the rea1ing
of a reply from Governor Penny
packer to the communication of the
convention asking that he issue sup
Elemental call for the extra session
of the assembly. which would include
certain legislation in the interest OF
labor unions and employers liability
laws. The answer stated that the au-
thority to issue such a supplemental.
call was seriously questioned, and adj
vised the convention to get legal adj
vice OF the matter.
The sessions today were devoid OF
interest, except to the delegates Of the
Longshoremens Union and the Sea
mans Union, both international bod
les who have been quarreling over
the jurisdiction of certain kinds OF
workmen for some time. 1t was de-
cided to have tie two unions appoint
an arbitration committee and settle
the matter between themselves.
The dispute between the Brewery
Workmen's union and the Engineers
and FiremenS union was settled by
the engineers and firemen being per-
mitted to join their respective unions,
without detriment to them as union
men.
1t was unanimously decided to have
the eight hour workday measure re-
introduced in Congress, and also to
have bills presented to all the state
legislatures prohibiting the employ
ment of child labor
There has been considerable politI-
cal talk during the past week, and
from what is said in the convention
now, it looks as if there will be two
changes in the officers this year. These
will be by the retirement of Fifth
Vice President Kidd and Eighth Vice
President Spencer. 1t is possible the
election of officers will be reached to-
morrow For the first time in the hiss
tory in the federation the convention

the world powers. OF these schools
in the south he said:
While Hospitality received by the
