The Hague, July 1.-Profiting by the
holiday, the leading plenipotentlarlei
met privately Sunday to exchange
views on the principal questions be-
fore the peace conference. Joseph H.
Choate and General Horace Porter
conversed at length with Sir Edward
Frye and Sir Ernest Satow, of the

Dr.. Krieger Of Germany, while VIII
liam L. Buchanan, who was the chair.
man Of the American delegation which
attended the Pan-Amerfcan congress.
discussed affairs with several Of the
south American delegates.
There seems to be some opposition
raised against the proposition Of the
inviolability Of private property at
sea by several Latin-American coun-
tries, which having no merchant ma
rine think that the abolition Of the
right Of capture and Of privateering
will deprive them of q weapon dread
ed by their enemies. The whole Triple
Alliance, however, strongly support
this proposition. Indeed, among the

 Washington, Jan. 24.-When the pen. sion appropriation was under consider ation in committee of the whole in the House today Mir. Dalzell of Penn sylvania, offered an amendment making an appropriation for eighteen agencies the. present number. He said that if the number was reduced to nine, the agents at the discontinued agencies could go into the court of claims and recover their salaries as the law pro- vides for eighteen agencies. If the President has the power to reduce these agencies" remarked MT Dalzell. The should exercise the power without any advice of Congress-"
 Representative Gardner of Michigan offered a substitute to MT. Dalzelrs amendment abolishins all the agencies except one. and fixing Washington as the location of that agency.
 Mir. Tawney Chairman of the Appro- priations Committee. was emphatic in his declaration that upwards of $30o.- 900 would be saved If the agencies were abolished. except one at Wash ington. ,...
 By vote of 5s to IA the amendment proposed by Mir. DalzeIl was defeated and then the substitute preseneed by Mir. Gardner abolishing all pension agencies save one at Washington, was adopted by a practically unanimous vote.

WhaIa Na1s

At Wangamumu bay. on the north east coast of New Zealand, whales are caught in big steel nets. The nets, Popular Science siftings states, are made of three quarter inch wire rope m s!X-feet mesh. and have barrel huoys along the edges to hold them close to the surface. whale cruising along the shore strikes the net and gets his head through a mesh. and instead of packing out he rushes forward and en- tangles himself in the wire ropes He may carry the net away from its an chorage with the momentum Of his rush. but the buoys impede him, and in- stead of heading out to sea and taking the net with him the whale thrashes about furiously and soon gets the wire ropes round about his fins and flukes The animal thrashes around until worn our. then the boats of the fishermen creep In upon him, and the harpoon and lance are used. When the whalers give chase in the old-fashioned way nowadavs power launches are used in- stead ot rowboats. At Wangamumu all the parts of the whale are utilized. the bones and refuse being converted mic fertilizers

 Dr. Palmer came here from, Mont gomery Ala. where he has been try ing to assist In securing some bird protection legislation before the State Legislature now in session.
 Alabama" he said, lis practically the only State in the Union that has no laws to prevent the shipment of game birds from the State. Last year sev- eral hundred thousand live quails were shipped from Alabama. One man over there expects to ship 60,000 north fin the next few weeks. The demand for live quail in the United States is about 100000 per year, and as other States have put up the bars the e\demand on Alabama has been increased until the drain on that State has been enorm- ous. They pay from $S to s5 per dozen for live quails."
 From here pr. Palmer will go to Nashville and then to Ohio and back to Washington.

According to The Jewish Outlook" the Jews of the United States are re- joicipg too much over the recent eleva- tion to high office of some of the peo- ple of that persuasion. There is a certain incongruity in the fact" says the writer, that in the United States, the freest country of the the globe and the oldest republic, the Jews do not occupy. at least not politically. the position they do in old European lands. The number of Jews in the United States congress Is small, when com pared with the number of Jews in the parliaments of other nations. Even in Russia there were in the last douma proportionately more Jews than are in the congress of the United States. The same is the case in Germany, Austria Hungary and France. where in the par liaments Jews are prominently in evil dence. Tn Italy, with her small Jewish population, there Is q large number of Jews in parliament, and the most important positions in the Italian cabi- net of ministers are held by Jews who, moreover, takeinterest in Judaism"

 One of the greatest mistakes a house. keeper can make is to have too dark wallpaper or too light rugs.
 Dark walls-well, who does not real fze their depressing effect7
 But it is impossible to realize how nnonotonous a pale colored rug may be until you have been forced to live with one.
 No matter how beautiful 1t may have been at first it soon takes on a dIngy tone and gives a drab look to the en- tire room
 The rug should be in rich warm tones, the walls delicate in color to 1n' sure a fine effect.
 After all, given the proper walls and floors. the rest is easy.
 High lights are another disfiguring' feature. Chief among these may be mentioned the high flaring gas jet with the white globe.
 There are gas fixtures which come now with closed tinted globes similar to those belonging to electric lights. These throw the light downward in- stead of upward.

SHORTAGE OF CARS.
Series of Principles Submitted to the
 President.


 Washington, Jan. 24.-The Inter state Commerce Commission have at the request of the president prepared series of principles which. in their opinion, should form the basis of any Legislation which may be recommended to Congress on the car shortage ques- tion.
 They are the direct outcome of the situation which has developed from the scarcity of cars throughout the country, about which so many com plaints have reached the commission and of the appeal made to the presi- dent about ten days ago by the exec utive committee of the national de- murrage convention held at Chicago for legislation in behalf of reciprocal demurrage.
 None of the commissioners is will ing to discuss the suggestions made to the president. but 1t is known that among the recommendations discussed were those penalizing the railroads for uncertain delay in moving loaded cars under certain conditions and some plan for an interchange of oars The result of the commissions work will be laid before the president prob ably tomorrow
