Would Limit the English Peers.

Would Limit the English Peers.
Nothing indicates the rapid spread
OF democratic feeling in England more
clearly than the frequency In recent
years of the cry, down with the
house OF lords!'' A halfway measure
Is now proposed to the end that the
upper chamber Of parliament may DE
preserved as a sort Of balance wheel
of legislation, but at the same time
shorn Of some Objectionable features.
Three points Of reform have been sug-
gested by Sir Herbert Maxwell in the
Nineteenth Century and After. Sir
Herbert, who is himself an hereditary
baronet would have the number of
peers In parliament made proper
tional to the number Of commoners, q
peerage should not be transmittable
and the sovereign should not have the
power Of making hereditary peers. 70
quote:
Let the number Of peers Of parliament
PC liked IN permanent proportion to that
OF the house Of commons. To ascertain
the original proportion between the two
chambers the date Of George Ills access
sion may be taken. down to which time
the creation Of hereditary legislators had
been sparingly exercised. In 1760 there
were PA peers Of parliament and 558 men,
bers Of the house Of commons, making
the lords as nearly as possible equal to
fWO.f1ffh0 no
proportion to the present house Of COM
mons would, give 26S peers.
This limitation could be secured, it
is suggested, by causing the whole
peerage to choose and elect its own
representatives ON the score Of fitness,
the elections to be held at the begin
ming of each new parliament. The
most radical change advocated in this
paper is the abolition of hereditary
titles. The prerogative of the crown
should be restricted to the granting OF
life peerages. Existing hereditary
titles of honor would continue to de
scend and ultimately disappear. The
writer quotes Cromwell as testifying
to the usefulness of the house of lords.
which he himself restored to life, and
offers his scheme for limiting the num-
Der of legislative peers in the hope that
the body may be brought in line with
modern political ideals and it's career
amended rather than ended, as John
Burns, Winston Churchill and other
radicals have proposed.

NAVY MAY TRY TURBINES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1O.-The
Bureau of Steam Engineering is pre-
pairing to make further inquiry into
the turbine as possible substitute
for the reciprocating engine on naval
ships. There is the remotest chance
of the adoption of the turbine on the
next battleship to be designed, but at
present the experts see no good reason
for departing from the true and tried
mechanism for naval propulsion.
There have been several inspections
of the transatlantic liners which are
equipped with turbines, but the in
formation obtained has not been en-
tirely satisfactory; in fact, concerning
the expenditure Of coal, the most i'm
portant feature, it has been almost i'm
possible to obtain reliable lnforma-
ton. This and other features are
kept under cover, and it has come to
be appreciated that there may be good
reasons for considering the turbine
more expensive in operation-at least
as to coal consumption-than the re-
ciprOcating engine At the same time
the bureau desires to obtain all pos
sible information on the subject, and
to this end will pursue the inquiry,
the next step being the detail of Lieu
tenant Commander H. P. Norton, now
on duty in the Bureau Of Steam En-
gineering, for an observation trip on
the steamer Carmania, upon which is
installed the Parsons turbine. Com
mander Norton will be accompanied
by a bureau craftsman and will seek
to add to the departments fund of in
formation in regard to turbine oper-
alton with, if possible, some record
of the expenditure of coal. 1t is hoped
to make comparisons with another
steamer of Identical dimensions, the
Caronia, which is equipped with re-
ciprOcatng engines.

CAPTAIN O. d. FILLEY OF HARVARD.
IFilley, who is captain as we'll as stroke

rowed over the Oxford Cambridge
course Sept. 8. which extends from
Putney to Mortlake, distance Of four
miles and three furlongs.
All the members Of the Harvard
eight are now in Europe.
The Harvard men want it distinctly
understood that the race on the
Thames will not be for the interna-
tional championship or anything Of the
kind. They cheerfully acknowledge
the pre-eminence Of Cornell and make
no pretensions to superiority over any
crew except the one they defeated at
New London last June.
The race in England will be purely
for sports sake. The Harvard men
say that incidentally they hope to gain
from their English opponents some ad-
ditional knowledge about rowing.
The Harvard crew will stay at
Bourne End, on the Thames, above
Windsor, until the race.
The statistics of the Harvard and
Cambridge crews as they rowed this
year show that Harvard will have an

the heads of the unsuspicious turkey

JEWS ATTACKED THE SOLDIERS.
The Recent BIoodshed in Odessa Was
Largely Due To Their Action.

Boston, Dec. 26.-AccOrding- to An.
drewas Stockberger, aan immigrant,
who arrived here ON the steamer Car
thagenian, the recent bloodshed in
Odessa was largely due to Jews attack
ing the soldiers. Stockberger is a Ger
man and comes from German set
Element at Gildendorff, near Odessa
In an interview he said: "In Odessa
/ saw the troops marching down the
main street with loaded guns. Before
them was the bowling mob, armed
with all sorts of weapons, and when
ever a chance appeared they would
sweep down on the soldiers and tear
them to pieces. From house tops and
windows stood men and women, and
even children. and as the soldiers
marched by. bombs were hurled at
them, killing scores and wounding
hundreds at time.
1.-The soldiers would then charge
upon their attackers, piercing them
with bayonets and shooting them.
Wherever the soldiers went they were
attacked. The mob, made up entirely
of Jews, were almost beside themselves
with excitement, and their only pur-
cose was to kill the soldiers
