DENIAL FROM GERMANY.
Had No Interest in Cars Call for
Hague Conference.


Cologne, April 12.-The Gazette
prints an inspired dispatch from Ber-
lin which denies that Germany insti-
gated Russia to call the second Hague
conference for June in order to COM
pete with anda detract from the i'm
portauce of the Pan-American con,
gress. The dispatch adds that Ger
many knew nothing of Emperor
Nicholas intention to call the meet
ing of the Hague congress before the
invitation was received several days
ago. The dispatch further combats
the view that Germany has taken a
special interest in the Hague confer
ence because she may there oppose
the so-called Calvo doctrine, which
denies the right of one state to inter
fere to collect it's subjects claims
against a foreign state SO long as the
courts of the latter offer the prospect
of unprecedented adjudication The
dispatch further states that this view
has been disseminated in South Amer
lea in order to create a suspicion
against Germany and that its faIsity
is evident since Russia, alone and IN
advised, called the Hague congress,
Germany having nothing whatever 10
do with the issuance of the call.

Washington, April 10-For more
than four hours Senator Bailey
held the undivided attention of the
senate with a speech replying to Sen
ators Spooner and Knox. Senator
Bailey set out with the one end in
view CT establishing the soundness Of
his contention that congress has
power to deny to inferior United
States courts the right to suspend
orders of the interstate commerce
commission pending final decision OF
cases arising under the proposed
law. This he undertook to do by
citing innumerable decisions and
quoting many authorities. Senator
Hale announced his willingness to
accept the anti-suspension amend
ment and expressed confidence that
if Senator Bailey would on the other
hand agree to a broad court review
there would be comparatively little
difficulty in reaching an agreement on
the bill In response Senator Bailey
said he did not believe review by the
courts could be denied under the con-
stitutiOn.

Washington, April 9.-Senators
McLaurin and Morgan addressed the
senate on the railroad rate question,
the former advocating the legislation
and the latter opposing. Senator
Morgan took the position that the pro-
posed legislation was in interference
with the rights of the states to con-
troll corporations created by them
selves, and he said the best way to
check exorbitant railroad rates is to
keep waterways in such condition as
to insure competition.
In the house Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa,
replying to a speech of Mr.. Sims OF
Tennessee, in which he advocated self
government for the people of the
District of Columbia, made a defence
of its form of government, but
criticised its administration. He
did not think two newspaper men and
one army officer who constitute the
board of commissioners the proper
personnel for such government.

The trait of absent mindedness often
times brings about strange results, and
these results are sometime really
laughable. The latest instance of this
kind which has been reported came to
light a few days ago. and while it was
not intended for publication by the one
who gave it away, it is rather too good
to keep so here ii is. 1t seems that
in a certain section of the city. say
down near the HaIlowel line, there
lives a gentleman who. according to his
own admissions. has on several occa-
siOns done things without thinking
what he was doing. His dwelling.
like many others in the city. is pro-
vided with a vestibule and storm door
for winter, and as the milk man comes
before the family is stirring in the
morning. it is the custom of the gen.
tleman to set his milk can out in the
vestibule each night before going to
bed 1t is the last thing he does after
fixing up the fires and putting the cat
out in the kitchen. and he has done it
so much that it has become a habit
with him. A few nights ago. how
ever, he introduced little novelty

and which has since caused no end of
merriment to such of his friends as
have become acquainted with the facts
of the case, and made matters quite
lively for him in the way of answer
ing questions. The last car had gone
by. and as he started to go upstairs to
bed he had. as usual. the lamp in one
bond and the milk can in the other
He must have had something on his
mind. however. for he opened the door
leading to the vestibule, and carefully
placing the lamp on the doorstep, he
closed and locked the door. and with the
milk can in his hand he started up the
stairs. Just what brought him to HIM
self is not stated, but he had nearly
reached the top of the flight before he
realized his mistake. He had to
laugh. and that laugh. which awakened

p,anation, and so the story leaked out.
