AN ECONOMICAL DUKE

No one admires the beauty, vivacity and wit of American women more than King Edward and the duke of Connaught Both constantly seek the society of their cousins from across the sea- but in this the kings motives more unselfish than those which actuate his brother. The king asks only to be entertained spiritually, to say; the duke looks to his material welfare.
 When the duke of Connauglt goes to his London house for week he always arranges to dine out every night Stiff English society bores the duke and his wife; they must be drawn out" 1t Is very difficult really to amuse them. But the generosity of American women appeals to the duke as well as their wit and beauty. Indeed the duke of Connaught Is developing a miser

MEMBERS RAISE IS THROWN OUT
Cabinet Changes In Effect Monday. Moody Retires and BOnaparte suc- ceeds Him-Mctcalf to Navy.
 Straus to Come In.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Th house by vote of 214 to 51 adopted an amendment offered by Mir. Lttauer to the legislative, executive and judicial bill making the compensation of the speaker and vice president $12,00O each, effective March 1 next.
 Another amendment by Mir. Littauer increasing the salaries of cabinet off, cers to $12,0O0 each was adopted, 204 to 60. In neither case was the opp0si- ton strong enough to have the yeas and nays called.
 MT. Littauer also offered an amend ment increasing the salaries of sena- tors, representatives and delegates to $7 7,5OO per annum, which was thrown out by vote of 106 to 1Ss.
 MT. Littauer said that the existing salary of the vice president and speak CT was in no sense commensurate with the dignity and duties of the office.
 No vice president or speaker, he said, could live as he was compelled to do and pay his expenses out of the $8.0O0 salary now provided. As long as fifty years ago congress paid the speaker a salary twice as large as that of mem berS.
 MT. Burleson Dem., Tex.)-Will the gentleman state the salary of the speaker of the house of commons?
 MT. Littauer--He is paid $25,OO0 . tnh vt Gothic mansion is provided for him. At the end of his service he is made a peer and receives q pension sufficient to maintain his rank. So is the speaker of the French chamber of deputies. He has $25,OOO year and regiment of soldiers for an escort, and the band plays every time he takes his seat.
 The proposition was opposed by MT. Underwood Oem., Ala.), who said he did not believe there should be any further increase of salaries of legisla- tive and executive officers.
 It is announced that, AttorIiey Gen eral Moody will retire from his present office on Monday to go on the supreme court bench, and Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte will take his place at the head of the department of justice on the same day
 Secretary Metcalf, who now has the commerce and labor portfolio, will then succeed Mir. Bonaparte as secreA tary of the navy, and Mir. Straus will become secretary of commerce and la Dor.
 Secretary Shaw, 1t was officially an nounced, will not leave the cabinet un- til March next, and MT. Cortelyou will continue as postmaster general in the meantime.
 Six special messages are to be sent to congress next week by President Roosevelt-on the naval personnel bill, on Secretary Metcalf's report on the alleged discrimination against the Jap anese in San Francisco, message on Panama, message on the public land question, one transmitting Secretary Taft's report on Cuba and reply to the senate resolution calling for infor- nation regarding the discharge with out honor of the soldiers of the Twen- ty-fifth regiment of colored infantry.

MOVEMENT TO RAISE PAY OF POSTAL CLERKS.

Increase in the salaries of post ofice clerks will be a prominent question at the present ses- sion of congress. Already three movements of importance have been begun, all of which are directed toward this end and none of which can be ignored by congress. The three movements are headed by the post office department. by the postal clerks themselves and by the chambers of commerce all over the country.
 Clerks in the postal service now receive a minimum salary of $500 and maximum salary of $1,s00 The prosperity of the country has created such demand for service and the opportunities Of betterment. of the individual have so much in- creased that the postal service of the country may be said to be hanging on the ragged edge of

 PARIS, Dec. 15.-There has been is- sued from the office of the archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Richard, an impor- tant communication which will facili- tate way out of the present church difficulty. This communication sets forth that declarations made by lay men relative to worship are not in dis obedience to the instructions of the pope, provided their purpose is honest ly to avoid disturbances, and admits that such declarations do not infringe upon the hierarchy of the church, as the Vatican has only forbidden cler- gymen to carry out the required legal formalities.

HIS HOLINESS SPEAKS.

Says Catholicism's Largest Center 10
 In United states. ROME, Dec 15.-The pope has re celved cablegrams from Cardinal Glib bons at Baltimore and Archbishop Farley at New York setting forth the senders' warmest sympathy in the church's present trials. The pontiff was extremely gratifed to receive these messages. Commenting upon them. he said:
 Tt is the heart of America that con soles us. The largest center of Catholi- cism Is in the United States"
 The pope and the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val, have re- fused all requests to grant interviews on the Franco-vatican situation. but the following statement Is authorized by the Vatican:
 "The situation may be summarized as follows:
 "The concordat. the most solemn bi- lateral contract, has not yet been de- nounced by the French government. which wishes to establish new legal standing for the church in France. The government did not agree with the holy see on this subject and repeated ly and openly showed hostility toward the head of the church. Violence may prevail for . time. but those who are suffering from this state of oppression preserve all their rights and all their claims.
 '"The explosion of joy among the Ma sonic and demagogic societies as re- suit of the persecution on the part of the government shows that the war is against the church and religion. Not withstandins the bills passed and regu- lations adopted. France at the present time has no law granting religious ill., erty to those who do not comply with the law providing for the separation of church and state.
 Therefore what is needed Is a real law providing for real liberty Instead of arbitrary ministerial circulars. The loyalty and good will of the holy see under similar circumstances was shown In Brazil
 The holy see is not opposed to the making of applications under the law. but takes exception to the whole spirit of the circular issued by Minister of Public Worship N. Brand
