PUT END TO cENoTAPHS.
Senator Hoar's Plea Did Away with
"Works of Art"

The late Senator Hoar made a char
acteristic speech when he was men,
Der of the house on the subject of the
cenotaphs in the Congressional ceme-
terry. 1t was upon the occasion of the
passage of the bill which finally abol-
ished by law the erecting of monu-
ments in the Congressional cemetery
unless they were above remains in
tered there. The bill proposed that
all monuments thereafter to be erect
ed be in the form that had always
been used. Senator Hoar offered an
amendment striking out the provi-
sion, and in support of his amendment
he said:
Il wish the gentleman having
charge of this bill would allow an
amendment 1t Is certainly add
ing new terrors to death to propose
that in any contingency, whatever may
be the poverty or degradation of any
member of congress, his body should
be put under structure similar to
the cenotaphs now there, which are
only excusable on the ground that no.
body is buried under them. l can
not conceive of an uglier shape to be
made out of granite or marble than
those cenotaphs now there. To pro-
pose gravely to require by law that
for all time structures of that fash
ion shall be placed over deceased con-
gressmen seems to me little too
bad. | move to amend the bill by
striking out the words in the form
of the cenctaphs heretofore provid-
ed"
Senator Hoar's amendment was
agreed to. 1t was hardly necessary,
however Since that time but few
monuments of any sort have been
erected for officials in the Congress
sional cemetery. Sentiment seems to
have changed. Perhaps great men
are Scarcer.

Book Va1daIs at Washinuton,

In spite of the watchfulness of the
employees of the Library of Congress
book scribblers are said to have be-
come common nuisance in Uncle
Sans large and artistic reading rooms
up on Capitol Hill. 1t is also said they
have made their marks on volumes
in the public library. A librarian of
experience, in discussing this subject,
said the men or women who indulge
in book scribbling are usually cyclists
who think the book is valueless after
they have read it. Sometimes they
strike out the passages they do not
like, while those that appeal to them
are heavily u2derscored or placed in
brackets
ri is said considerable time is eX-
pended hv n 'ches of libraries in eras-
ing the wori' of the scribblers, includ
ing criticisms or suggestions written
on the margins of the pages.
In many "1ses the officers of the
libraries learn who defaces the books,
but in almoG; every instance the per-
petrator denies the deed He is evi.
IDENTIFY ashar' I'd Of the thoughts he was
so proud of when he wrote them in
the margin of the book.

FOUGHT TO THE DEATH;
REFUSE TO EXPLAIN

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Two men
both unconscious and each suffering
from a number of knife wounds, were
found within a few feet of each other
today at Grand avenue and Des-
PLANES street.
The men had evidently slashed
each other until both fell, weak from
loss of blood. The pair were placed
in an ambulance and together taken
to a hospital When they recovered
consciousness they refused to talk be-
yond giving their names as Nicholas
Cescerous and Michael Homtadian.
Cescerous is dying from a wound
in the breast.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY
Denies RumOr That Pacific North
American Squadron to BE Formed.

LONDON, Dec. Z7.-The Associat-
ed Press is in position to state on
the authority of the British admiralty
that there is no truth in the assertion
published in the Standard today that
the admiralty has decided to estab-
lish next May Pacific North Ameri-
can squadron, the base of which pos
sibly will be at Esquimault.
There is no shadow of foundation
for this story; it must be obvious to
any one who gives the subject a
moments thought that such a move
ment would be the last thing we
would think of at the present mo-
ment," WAS the statement made by
one of the highest officials of the adj
miralty.
The emphasis Of this denial lndi-
Gated that the admiralty was ANXIOUS
that the report should be promptly
put at rest with the view of lllaying
any suspicion that might be aroused
in America connecting the alleged
formation of British Pacific fleet
with the sailing of the American bat
tleship fleet.

There is room for the making of
excuse for the ignorance of the de-

into the Goldfield trouble, but there
is no ground on which the build ex-
cuse for the president He knows the

ern Federation heads-either this or
his alleged acquaintance with the
west is a farce and imposition on the
public for purposes of popularity
making.

Wiodburn, acting commander of the
department of the Columbia, u S. A..

Guests at Christmas Banquet Declare

Entire State.
Without doubt one of the most ele-
CANT entertainments ever given in the
state of Nevada was that at which
number of friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
f. c. Armstrong, were the guests of
Manager and Mrs. Klein at the Step
toe hotel Christmas night. Not alone
were the appointments of the meal
perfect, but not one who partook of
the meal but is convinced that its
equal could not be obtained in the
state or for that matter would be
hard to duplicate in the entire coun-
try.
Chef Adolph George put forth his
best efforts and the results were to
be cassed as masterpieces. The menu
was as follows:

COMMENTS ON THE CRUISE.

Japan seems to be the only country
in which the dispatch of our Atlantic
fleet to the Pacific does not couse any
apprehension for the future.
Some of the French savants pre-
dict that the voyage of Admiral Evans
'Japan's inordinate ambition to con-
troll the Pacific. At ST. Petersburg
the move is praised. This judgment
is based upon Russias unconcealed
feeling against Japan. 1t is but an
other way of expressing the hope that
a clash may come. Berlin regards
the episode with interest and comes
closer than the other nations in re-
alizing the significance of the fleets
movement.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
should they be? This country has a
right to maintain a navy along its
own shores, east and west 1t has a
right to send its ships out upon any
of the highways of the sea, without
asking for permission. Every othes
country has the same right. To man.
ifest any nervousness on account of
that trip around the Horn would be
peurile And the Japanese are any
thing but that.
There is, as far as the public is
IA conflict with Japan. Since that
cruise was ordered, the Japanese have
shown a laudable desire for meeting
this country more than half way in
the disputes about Japanese immi-
grants. Baron Tshii, who lately Wis
tied Canada and the United States
for the purpose of studying the stu
alton, has just stated in an interview
that his people recognize the condi-
tions by which the United States gov
eminent Is confronted, that they
could um J. rstand the opposition to an
immgratiin which was thought to
threaten the standards of American
labor in its wages and its manner of
life, and that they We're disposed to
place the most liberal construction on
the pladges into which they had by
treaty entered and to stop Japanese
emigration to this country altogether.
Only they wanted the restrictive Or
der to proceed from Toxic and not
from Washington, SO that their ma
tional dignity should suffer no. af-
front
We cannot but accept the presi-
dents explanation that the naval
movement now commenced is the fin
est possible training for a battleship
