Bull by Pope Piua x.

Rome, Jan. 9-One of the most i'm
portant acts thus far in the pontificate
of Pope Plus X. has been embodied in
a secret bull, the text Of which will not
be made public until the pontiff is
dead, when 1t will be read as forming
part Of the constitution in the next con.
clave that will elect his successor.
The bull is in connection with the
claims of Austria, France and Spain as
to their right to veto the election Of
any cardinal to the papacy.
The bill is the direct result Of the
veto against Cardinal Rampolla should
he have been elected as successor to
Leo XIII, which was presented to the
conclave, August 2, 1908, by Cardira1
Puzyna, bishop Of Krakow, Austria, at
the instance Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph.
Briefly, the bull says that all cardi-
nails are absolutely forbidden, under
penalty of exclusion from the conclave,
and not being allowed to vote, to be
the bearer of message Of veto and
that II any cardinal, knowing the in
tention Of his ruler to object to the
election of cardinal, communicates
this intention to his colleague in the
conclave, he also would be excluded
and not allowed to vote.

TALK OF PEACE
WITH wAsL,kE INDICATIONS
Emperor Nicholas and His Advisers In
couneiI-Japan Expected to
Make Peace Proposals.


Make Peace Proposals..
st. Petersburg, Jan. Q. 2:10 a. m.-
The conference which Emperor Nicho-
las has been holding with members of
the council of the empire. M. Witte
and other members and advisers. on
the internal and external situations
have not yet been concluded, but moth
ing else has occurred which would in.
dicate that the government ID pre-
pared to depart from its present pro-
gram of continuing the war to the bit
ter end.
Nevertheless talk of peace was
heard Sunday in many quarters. the
foundation for 1t being ascribed to For
eign Minister Lamsdorff's alleged po-
sition in favor of such a course on the
ground that, aside from the humilfa-
tion to military prestige involved, 1t
would mean the REIMBURSEMENT OF
Manchuria, to which Russia already 10
formally pledged.
There is no confirmation Of this
statement of Count Lamsdorff's posi-
tion beyond the general knowledge that
he always has belonged to the peace
party. 1t is quite probable that the
peace talk gossip has been produced
by the arrival Of foreign papers, as 1t
receives no encouragement in respon-
sible quarters here.
The belief which existed in excep-
tionally well informed diplomatic cir
cles that Japan would follow the fall
of Port Arthur with moderate peace
propositions has not been realized. Up
TO the present time nothing has
reached the government either through
the United States or other channels.
Diplomats here cannot figure out
the general lines of a treaty at this
juncture which both the belligerents
could accept, but realize that II Japan
makes any sort of offer, unless 1t is
rejected outright as not entertainable,
negotiations will be opened, and nego-
tiations once entered upon friends of
both parties could use their good Of
fees to bring about terms. This is the
only hope for termination of the war
which diplomats can see.

what Devoe lead-and-zinc will do. We
should like you to paint it, and then
not paint it again for ten years-un-
less it needs repainting.
We'd like such a sample as that in
every town in the country-with no.
tice about it in tie local paper: Mr..
Rulf's house vas painted ten years
ago with Devoe lead-and-zinc, and has
never been reDainted. The color is
not so bright as it a but the paint
is as perfect D coat as ever, to keep
out water"
A good l~ead-and-oil job is expected
TO last three years: it is a good one
hat lasts three years: it generally
Ices not. Devoe lead-and-zinc lasts
twice as long. If not
eff you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on. or hereafter in the wear. tell your
dealer about it.

right at our expense"
We want your house as a sample and
YOU as a witness. Yours truly,
