AIMED AT MIR. ROOFS SPEECH.
Senator whyte Introduces q Resolution
Amrming the Rights OF the States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator William
Pinkney Whyte Of Maryland to-day intro
duced the following resolution as a mark
Of disapproval OF Secretary Roots recent
speech on the growth OF Federal over State
powers:
Resolved. That the people OF the several
States. acting in their highest sovereign
capacity as free and independent States.
adopted the Federal Constitution and estab-
lished a form OF government in the nature
OF a confederated republic and for the pur-
pose Of carrying into effect the objects for
which it was formed delegated to that gov
eminent certain rights enumerated in said
Constitution but reserved to the States.
respectively. or to the people thereof all
the residuary powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution or pro-
hibited by II to the States.
Resolved. further, That the extension Of
Federal powers beyond those enumerated
in the Constitution can only be rightfully
accomplished in the manner provided nv
that instrument and not by a strained con.
struction OF the Constitution which shall
obliterate all State rights and vest the coveted
but not the granted power where it will be
exercised by the general Government.
Senator Whyte asked that his resolution
lie upon the table, and he will call it up and
make a speech on its merits later on.

and TO safeguard Great Britain against
an invasion OF India by a Russian army
on the other. So far as the considera-
ton offered to Great Britain goes, it is
now almost valueless, for since the wars
against NAPOLEON her relations with
Russia have never been more cordial
than they are at present and events
seem tending to the formation Of a new
triple alliance between Russia, Great
Britain and France. The prospect OF
such a league is the subject Of comment
among European statesmen and the
Marquis PRINETTI, formerly the italian
Minister for Foreign Affairs, is credited
with saying the other day in an inter-
view that if such a league were organized
Italy would be forced to demand release
from her treaty obligations to Germany
and Austria Hungary.
1t appears, then, that the treaty OF
offensive and defensive alliance with
Japan contracted in 1905 confers no
benefit upon Great Britain. So far as
she is concerned it is superfuous. It
might, however, prove q very grave in
jury to Great Britain il her people would
permit it to be executed in the event Of
a conflict between Japan and the United
States. We could not, OF course, make
head against the combined naval forces
OF Japan and Great Britain in the Pacific,
or for that matter in the Atlantic, and
we might therefore be deprived Of all
our transmarine dependencies. Such
a loss would be trivial, however, COM
pared with that to which the British
people would be subjected by being cut
Of from their principal purveyor Of food
supplies. They would receive not al
ounce OF grain or -four from the United
States and we should Of course take
measures to prevent them from receiv-
ing such commodities from British North
America. As for the relatively limited
contribution OF such products from Ar
gentina, that would be liable to inter-
ruption at the hands Of our cruisers and
privateers. The result would be that
within three months the inhabitants of
Great Britain would be exposed to ap-
palling suffering and their Government
would be compelled to tear up the treaty
with Japan and under a threat Of using
the British fleets against her compel
the latter Power to give back all Of our
insular possessions.
In a word, Great Britain would be the
victim Of an attempt to conform to osten-
sible treaty obligations by cooperating
with Japan in a wal against the United
States. The consequences would be too
obvious and too frightful for the British
people to permit its Government to
incur them.

Senator Patrick II. McCarren submitted
to Mayor Mcclellan yesterday his plan to
relieve the congested traffic conditions on
the Brooklyn Bridge by building a second
and paralleling bridge next to it. This
would mean really the widening OF the
present bridge, and in Senator McCarren's
opinion IL would be moro feasible and cheaper
than converting the present bridge into a
double decker. A delegation from Brook

WHO PAID FOR THE DRINxs7
Endless Chain Operated by Thirsty
Men on, the Mexican Border.

Now, here is the best yarn Of the
lot and good puzzle for the Sunday
papers TO print" said the man with
the alkali in his whiskers. when he
had settled down in the hotel lobby
after long day on the rubberneck
wagon.
Several years ago American silver
coin in Mexico was on Ire same basis
as Mexican silver was at that time and
still is in the states; it passed at halt
its face value. Drinks in III Paso and
in JuareZ the Mexican town across
the line, We're bit apiece or 12la
cents, as You fasteners would say.
In those ralmy days a citizen oil
FL Paso could go into a drinking emf
porium and buy drink, paying for II
with an American quarter. The bar
tender would hand him back a Next
can quarter, which was. of course
worth 1919 cents in Texas.
Then with this Mexican quarter in
his hand the citizen could cross the
bridge TO .luareZ and there buy an
other drink. laying his Mexican quar-
ter on the bar.
IF the Greaser barkeep should give
him in change an American quarter
worth l212 cents in Mexico the joyous
citizen could return to Uncle Sans
back yard and repeat the process.
Now. the question is: Who paid
for those ,driuksy'-N.' Y. Sum.

Pomeroy, O.-The Middleport bank,
a private institution at Middleport, O.,
failed to open it's doors Friday. II is
stated that all the deposits. amounting
to $1l5,0O0, are missing and great ex.
element prevails. Most of the depos-

bank, has been located at Toronto. o.,
where his wifes people reside. and his
arrest ordered. He is expected to be
apprehended and brought back at
once.
President Fox went away last Tues
day, leaving Vice Preside nt T. s.
Armentrout in charge. An examina.
ton OF the vaults after Fox had gone
revealed $4,000 in cash and paper
worth less than $4,000 on its face to
account for the $4,000 deposited
Armentrout was formerly a Presby-
terian minister at Gallipolis and on
the solicitation of Fox resigned the
ministry the LIST of June, converted his
property into $4,000, and entered the
Dank as an equal partner with Fox,
perfectly unaware of its financial con-
dition. He has lost his sc 900 and is
now almost physical wreck over wor.

enterprise.
The people of Middleport became
thoroughly aroused late in the after.
noon over the collapse of the bank.
For time 1t looked like there might
be bloodshed. William Hord en-. an
old merchant, became so angered
over the loss of heavy deposit that
he secured revolver and sought Vice
