actual family name OF the present duke is
Smithson. The earldom OF Northumber-
land dates from the reign Of George III.
and the dukedom dates only from ther reign
OF George Ill.
There were previous Earls of Northum-
berland, famous in history, but they were
not Of the Percy or Smithson stock. though
to say this is not according to Cocker, 7"
otherwise Burke At the time OF the agi-
tation for the first reform bill It was said
with perfect truth that the antiquity Of
the families Of the existing peerage is a
farce. The Heralds' College and the
Alienation Office are the managers OF this
noble melodrama. When a line becomes
extinct 10y some trick OF marriage or by
some Interpretation OF a patent q trap door
Ia struck and out comes q representative Of
the Marches or the Mowbrays.
I such an extent IL this carried that
the same family name is changed almost
every year in the peerage. and some peers
do not know their W names. For instance.
Lord Oriel wished to vote against the
signed his proxy Ferrard. He ought to
have written Sk~efington. There was one
vote less against the people,"
There is only ono existing peerage as
old IA the reign of Henry Ill. There are
four dating back to that Of Edward /.
The only peerage Of the reign OF Edward III.
is that of Baron Courtenay. now repre-
sented by the carl OF Devon. There sur
vive one peerage from the reign of Henry
VII. that Of Willoughby de Broke; and
two from the reign of Edward VI, that
OF Baron Paget. now Marquis OF Anglesey,
and that Of Baron Herbert. now Earl Of
Pembroke. Among Mary's peerages only
that of the Earl of Guildford, formerly
Baron North. now survives. There are
more survivals from the reigns af Eliza
beth, James l. and Charles I. and II. IL
was James I. who was the earliest of our
kings TO put peeragee up to sale. He also
had the happy thought of inventing the
baronetage FOR the same financial reasons.
How moderu an institution the House Of
Lords Is In Its present constitution will be
clear ly seen from what follows. When
Elizabeth ascended the throne there were,
exclusive Of the Bishops, rather more than
thirty peers. OF the members Of the House
OF Lords in the reign OF Charles I. the Earl
OF Clarendon says, despite the numerous
recent creations: They were few In num-
Der, and used 10 adjourn for two or three
days together for want Of business Yet
Charles's father had created sixty-two
peerages, more h double the number In
existence at the time Of his accession.
Charles I. created thirty, and Charles II.
eighty-seven. At the death OF William III.
there were 1872 peers. Under Anne the num-
Dor rose to zoo, under George l. to 7le. and

ASKS PRIMARY FOR SENATOR
Gov. Cummins, of Iowa. to Make
Race Against Allison.
Comes Out for Popular Vote TO De.
eide Choice, and VIII Abide
by Decision.

Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. Gov A. B.
Cummins is willing TO let the primary
elections next June determine who shall
be elected to the United States Senate.
and says that he expects that Senator
William B. Allison or any other candi-
date who may enter the race will as
sumo a similar attitude. He has stated
his position in an interview published
here to-day.
Iowa Republicans are in a bitter fight
over the new primary law. Some alleged
loopholes have been discovered. which
the anti-Cummins faction declare were
purposely left in the law in order to per-
nit Democrats to vote for Cummins for
the Senate.
It is further declared that regardless
of what may be done at a primary. the
upon the legislature. This indirect threat
to carry the fight into the legislature
evidently stirred the governor to issue his
statement to-day.
Following is the governors language:
For myself. I want the Republicans
of this State TO know that If there are
but two Republican candidates for Sena-
tor. and I do not receive a majority OF
all the Republican votes cast for that
office. I will not be a candidate against
my opponent before the general assem-
bly,, nor will I permit my name to be
used IN that connection
"On the contrary, ! will. under those
circumstances. give to my opponent the
same loyal support that I shall expect
him to give me If do receive a ma
jority of the votes IF there shall he
three candidates or more. I will observe
in the same spirit the purpose and intent
OF the law
Above the smoke Of the impending bat
tie Democrats believe they see one of
their own number succeeding the vet
eran Allison.

TAFT MEETS War MINISTER
American Cabinet Officer and Lieut.
Gen. TeTauehi Have Conference.
Immigration Question May Come Tn
when Taft Has Audience
with Emperor.

Tokyo, Sept. 29.-Secretary Of War Taft
spent a quiet Sunday in the palace OF
Shiba. which belongs to the imperial fam
ily. japanese dignitaries and officials
called on the Secretary. some of them
accompanied by their wives.
Charlie Taft arranged for a baseball
game on the lawn Of the castle with
several Japanese youths. It was intended
to play the game to-day. but his father
objected and caused postponement until
tomorrow.
Among the most important of the call
ers was Lieut.. Gen. Terauchi the i'm
periaI minister Of war. who had g lengthy
conference with Mr.. Taft Importance is
attached to the fact that there have been
two conferences between the war min
listers. and on account Of the mutual ad-
miration and the influence Of Lieut.. Gen
Terauchi it is believed in certain quar-
ters the groundwork is being laid for an
entente concerning immigration. which, #
is conceded, is the only point on which
there is a difference OF opinion between
the two countries
1t is intimated that if the opportunitv
arises in his conference with the Emperor
on October Mr.. Taft may broach the
subject to him and leave its future ar
to Mr.. O'Brien. the American
Diplomatic circles, however.
do not credit this rumor. it being said
there that Mr.. Taft is not on direct
mission. The probability of such an oc-
cUrTence. however, is discussed freely
among the Japanese.
