Poor Harold fretted and fumed. 1t was the first
and greatest trial that life had brought him. He
fancied that he saw white hair or two among
his sandy locks. Existence stretched out dreary
blank without the companonship of Pietro. Prom
ises temptation-even increase of
wages did not win more than grateful thanks
from young Velliano. Then accident solved the
difficulty and after all the chauffeur was on the
steamer that took his master back to England
from Marsei1les.
1t happened that standing the steps of the
hotel waiting for his automobile, Harold saw
Signora Veano pottering about at her usual tasks.
Suddenly great idea entered his narrow brow and
he approached the old herself on the SUBJ
ject of her grandson.
He is very good boy, Pietro, old woman,
brave boy and a splendid chauffeur. Some day
he might have been great man and got known all
over Europe famous driver; but something is
standing between him and his future He will not

Never, granny, never, replied Pietro, laughing.
Il want the wind in my face again. l want to

that L killed the child-or rather that the child

boy"
Her grandson smiled and shook his head. Il
would rather get master"
Let me see you at work." said Harold Foster.
Come, we will run out to Bordighera.'
He went to the looking glass in the hotel hall,
patted his fair hair and adjusted his tie.
In ten minutes they off, and in less than an
hour they had accomplished the journey and
returned to their starting point. They ran over
one fowl at La Mortola, but met with no other

Petro Velliano spoke not word going or
coming, but as he stopped at the entrance of
the hotel he praised young Fosters automobile
nightly.

You shall have a hundred francs a week, if
you will come to me- answered the owner. You'll
suit me. But I'm frightened to meet your old
ruin of a grandmother What will she say?"
She is a good old holy woman. I would not
give her pain; but must live signor. We
come from CaStel-Vlttorio-the village in the hills
that springs with roofs and towers to point, like
pine fallen from tree. Sixty years ago my
grandmother departed from there when her hus-
band died. and she has lived in Mentone ever since
She makes a few francs week, and keeps body and
soul together, and prays to rest her old bones at
Pigna, nigh Castel-Vttorio, at the end But it
cannot be- fear. She must lie with the poor
folk here upon the hill
The subject of Signora Veano did not interest
Foster in the least. " Help me out of my furs and

Perhaps; but in the meantime you've got to
get lot more out of this here. It's good for
mile minute in proper hands-Im sure of it."
After winter had passed and the Eng1shman
began to turn his thoughts homeward an unexpected
difficulty presented itself His chauffeur was now
indispensable to young Foster; master and
enjoyed various adventures to their dscredit; and
much to his delight, by the accident of idiotic
recklessness, the youth acquired sort of reputa-

A SALOON HELD UP
 AT PORTLAND ORE
Two Men Shot, One of Them Proba.
 bly Fatally.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 15.-One of the most daring robberies ever recorded in this city occurred this evening shortly after 6 o'clock, when two masked men entered the bar-room of the Centennial hotel at 4S1 Sherlock avenue, in North Portland, and held up the bartender and fifteen men who were drinking in the place. Two men who attempted to escape were shot by the robbers, one perhaps fatally.
 The visitors in the place were startled by the command Hold up your hands, and turning saw two masked men standing in the doorway with lev eled revolvers. The robbers lined the and one of them proceeded to rob the till, while the other kept guard.
 Thomas Fleming, an aged sailor, and $. L. Roush attempted to escape from the room, but both were shot in the arm. Fleming, however, kept on going and got outside the place. No attempt was made to rob the visitors and when the man who went to the till had secured it's contents, amounting to $125, both backed out.
 At the entrance, however, Fleming lay in wait with heavy club. He dealt one of the robbers a glancing blow on the head, but his aim was in- accurate and he did little to impede escape and for his pains was shot in the abdomen, receiving a serious and perhaps fatal wound. The robbers es- capped, leaving no clue.

Hanlon fought deter ninedly. usinf his very best efforts to Wln i'll order that he might have a chance at the winner of the Corbett- Herrera i.2ht next month. The east erner was too tIever for him, however. ald appeared to be his match at any style of ::ghting. The eighteenth, nine teenth and twentieth rounds were about the best of the contest Hanlon appearing to have the advantage in strength. In the twentieth Hanlon had Herman very tired and as the Chicago man lost his guard of the stomach. Hanlon pounded him about the body ana had him staggering at the finish.
 Referee Eyton's decision was very pol ular and there appeared to be no dissent even on the part of Hanlons seconds. Hanlon put up a better fight thar il any of his previous contests in Los Angeles and made many friends hy his persistent and determined ef- fc,t.
 Hanlon was the favorite in the bet ting at 10 to 8, but Herman was strong lN supported by the eastern racing men. Hanlon weighed 133 and Herman gave bis weight at 127 1-2.

Senator Ti|Iman Continues to Say Things About the Governments ISthmian Policy
MT Cochran Airs His Views the Subject of Life Insur- ance and Suggests Way for the Reformation of the Business.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.-The Panama canal was again under consid- eration by the senate today and MT. Tillman occupied most of the time given to the subject, except when he gave way to questions or interruptions by other senators. He did not indicate any intention of opposition to the pas sage of the appropriation bill, but he criticised the methods of the canal commission in many of it's transac- tion.
 He raised the question as to whether Chairman Shonts is still in the employ of the Clover Leaf Railroad company, and said that the railroad register still carried his name as the head of that road. He also sharply criticised the employment of Secretary Bishop as a press representative, and MT. Hale joined in the cenSUre, saying that MT. Bishops employment in that capacity is a reflection not only on congress, but on the press. A part of MT. Till mans remarks was devoted to criti- cism of the presidents policy in SantO Domingo, and MT. Spooner defended the presidents course. When the sen ate adjourned the bill was still pend ing, but there was an agreement for . vote tomorrow.
 Before the Panama bill was taken up the senate adopted a resolution calling upon the postmaster-gener for infor nation as to whether there is discrimi- nation between college publications in the matter of admission to the mails as second-class matter.

LANNON'S GOOD FIGHT
 BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH
He Was Beaten by the More Clever
 Kid Herman.

Los Angeles, Dec. 15.-Kid Herman of Chicago tonight beat Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco in the fiercest twenty round fight ever seen in Los Angeles There was not a moment from start to finish of every round that the two lightweiehtS were not in action, and every gong found them fighting. Han- lon forced the pace, and made it ter rife ono from the very start and never for ;;u instant gave ground. To a great extent he gave up his crouch and stood uo and boxed with Herman.
 At this s.yle of fighting he was at a disadvantage as Herman was far the cleverer of the two and his blows were nearly all clean and well timed. It may be said that Herman won the light with one hand, as he did all his work after t e twelfth round with his risht.i using his left only to make an opening. He punished Hanlon severe= ly about the body with ripping right taEd hlows on the ribs and under the heart, and at the close range, uppercut Hanlon repeatedly about the face. Han lon, as usual, directed his attention to the body. but was less successful in landing on Herman than he has been on most of his opponents. Herman had an effective block for his body blows, and barring a bloody nose near the finish came out of the fight with out a mark.
 Herman tired somewhat after the eleventh round, but showed good gen.

custom houses or the segregation of her revenues. This is not easy for that republic to do, in view of the pressure from European nations, em- phasized in one case by the presence of a worship. In the face of this con dition, President Morales had, he said, appealed to President Roosevelt and asked him in his own helpIessneSs, re- questing especially that he suggest some honest American for the collec- tion of revenues. These agents, while Americans, had been appointed by the San Domingo government.
 'They were appointed by President Morales and can be dismissed by him. he said, "and the president of the Unit ed States has done no more than it was his duty to do"
 MT. Money spoke disparagingly of the presidents disposition to partici- pate in the affairs of San Domingo without the consent of congress. He expressed his apprehension that the end of such tendency might be disas- trous in view of the presidents threat to use tAe "big stick"
 Walk softly, carry a big stick, and you will go far says the president" |" said MT. Money, land I interpret this expression to mean that the president means to walk softly in dealing with the big nations, and to use the big stick in dealing with the weak when he sets aside the law of the land and substitutes for it his own Judgment"
 Mir Tillman reiterated his declara- tion that the presence of the United States authorities in Santo Domingo was the result of a trick.
 Speaking of MT. Shonts, MT. Tillman said he had understood that MT. Shonts was to resign as president of the Clover Leaf road. Did any one know whether he had resigned? he ap- pealed to MT. Allison. but that senator said he had not heard.

If the Republicans Who RevOIted in the Cau-
 GUS Stand With the Democrats
They Declare that They Will Vote Against the Hamilton Bill Though the House Leaders Expect Recantation at the Last Moment

Washington, Dec. 15. - (SpeciaD- The opinion is freely expressed as a result of yesterdays conference that statehood unquestionably has divided the house republicans. The only ques- tion is, will they stay divided? Veter- ans who have gone through many such caucuses and conferences say it will be repetition of the old contests, that the insurgents will protest up to the day the vote is taken and will thel get up in their seats when their names are called and vote for the measure the leaders dictate. That is what the leaders say will now be done. Ths recalcitrants tell another strry
 The democrats do not care especially to see Arizona and New Mexico ad- mitted as one state for the reason that they hope soon to have control of the government, and they believe mat by admitting them separately they will guarantee themselves at least one ad- ditional democratic state With two more votes in the senate. If the in surgent republicans remain firm in their present intentions and fifty-eight of them vote with the democrats, state hood for Arizona and New Mexico will be prevented. It is claimed today that lHtIc are Ol0eT lnan those present at the conference who will not support the party measures. Tae test vote in conference shows clearly that it lies within the power of the insur- gents to defeat the bill if they have the proper sticking qualities.
 Representative Tawney, the strong est supporter of -jointure in the house, has siXty-five republican votes. including the entire delegations from California, Washington and Oregon, and miscellaneous votes from Mich igan,, Montana. Wisconsin and other states. The democrats are unanimous on his side of the question. Speaker Cannon and one of the house leaders are not especially anxious for the pas sage of a statehood bill and the re- suit of MT. Tawney's opposition may be the blocking of all legislation on the subject or the admission of Oklahoma only.
 Every opponent of jointure in Ari- zona should get busy forthwith and give MT. Tawney to understand that his efforts are appreciated. The Ham ilton bill, calling for joint-statehood, probably will not be reported in the house until after the holidays When it is reported a rule will be brought in for it's immediate consideration and then the strength of the opposition will be tested.

fleet was kept in Dominican waters. He said that MT. Spooner was a supple acrobat in the use of words. "Is not our present attitude the same as it would be if the treaty had been rati- fied?" asked MT. Tillman, and Spooner replied: Not at all" adding that If the treaty had been ratified the United States would have it's own revenue agents in San Domingo, where the pres ent agents are the result of appoint ment by President Morales.
 ''Who suggested their appointments" Mir Tillman asked and MT. Spooner replied that the president of the Unit ed States had done so. Mir. Tillman cOntended that this admission justi- fled all that he said. Tt is beating about the bush; the accomplishment of what is wanted by trickery. It is a play on words to justify the usurpa- tiOn,' he said.
 Mir Spooner insisted that there had been no trickery and defended the ac- tion of the president Trickery was not a nice thing to impute he said, and MT. Tillman interrupted to say that when man accomplished by unlawful meth ods what he cannot otherwise accom- plish, l call it trickery."
 Mir. Spooner responded that the term was nasty and undignified and should not be used in speaking of the head of coordinate branch of the govern ment"
 MT. Tillman: Let the senator sug- gest a better one then.
 Mir. Spooner: The senator's whole idea is so wrong that it cannot be made right.
 Mir. Tillman then asked what excuse the president had for not entirely with drawing from San Domingo land leaving the situation alone, and MT. SpOoner replied that the senate should not have adjourned without acting on the treaty as to ratifying or rejecting it as the failure had the effect of leaving the president in a position of embarrassment. It was the duty of San Domingo to mafnram the status quo to preventing the seizure of her
