Public Alert 10 secure One of Those
Fine Century Sets.
It speaks wen for washington as a
literary and educational center when it is
known that. according to population. more
sets Of the great Century Dictionary and
cyclopedia and Atlas are owned here
than in any other American city.
The work Is in all the government de-
parunents. Of course. but outside OF that
there are more than 1000 Century owners
in Washington alone; and all of these,
II may be said. have paid the high figure
at which the work has always been held.
But there Is room for more Century
sets here as any one may see who visits
the Woodward & Lothrop book depart
ment. where a notable distribution OF the
work IS just now going on. This distri-
button IS the outcome of an important
business enterprise recently undertaken
/ by the Cosmopolitan Magazine. = The
periodical wanted 10 add $1,000 high-class
subscribers throughout the country and
decided 20 make an offer attractive
enough TO accomplish this object quickly;
Il therefore made a master stroke and
secured exclusive control Of the entire
output for 1907 of the Century Dictionary
and cyclopedia and Atlas and put the
price at a figure almost any one could
afIord without in any respect lessening
/ the high standard OF manufacture that
had always been maintained.
| After having distributed thousands OF
/ the sets countrywide. Cosmopolitan de-
cided 10 apportioR what was left of the
edition among the leading cities-s0me to
/ Washington. OF course; ana it was ar
ranged to distribute this limited allotment
through the Woodward & Lothrop book
department,
/ The price is much lower than ever be-
/ fore-only S39 for the ten volumes
coupled with a two years subscription
/ to the Cosmopolitan. making the work
almost in the nature OF a prize. which
can be secured by those who act at once
before the distribution closes.

man. and although he had no sympathy
for the Force bill, he hesitatsd 20 desert
the administration. At last he gave in.
and the next day the Force bin was dead.
Most OF the Senator's we're half dead
While there may some time be an EFFORT
to control the Congressional election ma

eminent. It is 10 be doubted If the cloture
rule ever win be resurrected.
In the Force bill tight every advantage
was taken TO cause delay. Three days
were spent in debating the question Of
approving the journal OF the previous
day. To prevent any recurrence of this
trick the Republican majority adopted
sae plan of taking a recess from day to
day instead OF adtourning. Throughout
the fight, however, the Democrats stcutly
maintained that they desired to more fully
discuss the merits OF the bill. and would
not admit that they were filibustering.
In the other two cases of famous bills
which have been downed by a combina-
/ ton of lungs and time-llmlt, the Senators
merriiy admitted that it was their pur-
/ pose TO talk until the Congress expired.
Senator Carter. after he had been speak
ling for a trile of seven hours against
/ the river and harbOr bin and had six
/ 70 go, replied to criticism from Senator
/ Pettus: This bill VIII not pass unless
my strength fails before u o'clock, and
am in a pretty fair state OF health"
six years later, to the day, the same
Senator Carter INDUCED in some erit-
cism Of Senator Carmack for hlibustering
against the ship-subsidy bin. and Senator
/ Pettus. by recalling the cOlloquy of 1901,
mildly minated that il was not polite
4 for jewellers in glass houses to heave
stones.
The Carmack fiibuster was without any
pretenaion whatever. He intended TO kill
the bill and intimated his intention when
he tackled the job Other Senators helped
1 him by reading long extracts from vari-
Gus dry-as-dust documents. but when
! Carmack was on the floor he kept the
Senate laughing. He accused the other
eide of attempting TO prolong the debate,
and warded of unpleasant comment by
ait and irony. all the while sticking 10
the main question Of killing the bill
rather than Of discussing it,
There is undoubtedly much force in the
argument advanced in favor OF a cloture
rule. that the majority has the right 10
rule and should not be subject TO the
control of the minority. On the other
hand, Senators point TO the House OF
Representatives. where, under the rules
which have steadily increased the power
of the Speaker. not even d vestige OF
the right of debate remains except by
grace of the Speaker. A Georgia Repre-
sentative went into Speaker Cannon S
room in the Capitol to see him on inn
portant business The Speaker was
asleep and the Georgian did not dare
awaken him, because Uncle Joe might
get mad. and never let another bill OF
mine see the light OF day"
To the layman 1t seems that the Senate
has too few rules, the House toe many
II either House ever changes this con
dition it will be the House Of Represen-
tatives. The Senate is ''sot in It's ways
and viii always go on talking, talking

EARNINGS OF
NEW HAVEN ROAD
SHOW INCREASE

Boston, May l6.-The earnings OF the
New York. New Haven and Hartford for
the quarter ending March 81 show sub
stantial increases over the same period
OF a year ago. although the earnings for
the 1895 March quarter were the largest
ever recorded for that period. The net
earnings show an increase OF only 3S per
cent. due 20 the very severe operating
conditions the road had 10 deal with. the
worst in fact, that have been expert
enced since the company began TO oper-
ate. Foreign cars were unavoidably de-
tained on this account.
Traffic al transfer points, particularly
al the Harlem river and at terminals.
became congested which. OF course,
caused great lnroads 10 be made on gross
earnings. The New Haven has been very
liberal i'm dealing with the wages OF em-
puoyes. increases OF 10 per cent having
been granted I'm many departments so
this also must be taken into consideration
In figuring net results.
An increase in the net OF S61S6lg, or 5'f
pc cent. is reported for the nine months.
Charges which show an increase OF over
81 per cent. due I'm part 10 the interest
the New Haven is paying on lts new
leans, caused a decrease in the surplus
for the same nine months or II per cent.
Assuming that the surplus for the June
Sc quarter will equal that shown for the
same period in 1895, the New Haven this
fiscal year should easily earn over 10
per cent on its capital stock.

On cross-examination he said the

from crime to escape detection.
Sanborn was somewhat confused
about the incidents. but he was posi-
tive the man was negro soldier and
that he carried a gun.
Sanborn occupied a room In the rear
OF the telegraph office and one window
or his room faced the garrison. He
said he was awakened by hearing
heavy firing very near him, and IL ap-
peared 10 come from between the tele-
graph office and the garrison, although
IL might have been fro mbeyond the
wall. He gave the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment rather a bad name as 10 dis

loosely controlled and vulgar and
boisterous, although he disclaimed any
prejudice against them.

CONSIDER BILL
An INSULT To
IRISH PEOPLE

Dublin, May 1s.--The executive commit
tee of the Sein Fein society, representing
advanced Irish Nationalism. considers Mr.
Birrelfs Irish bill 10 be an insult to Ire
land, and wants the Nationalist members
or Parliament to withdraw from the house
end demand a settlement of the inter
national dispute between Ireland and
England by The Hague arbitration court.
II Is also suggested that the program pub
lished today by the organ OF the Nation
alist party be placed in the form OF
resolution TO be adopted by the executive
committee OF the Irish National council.
In II the Irishmen, ''who have attended
the British parliament for the past q
years 70 support the British Liberals"
are invited TO return TO Dublin and devise
measures for the material betterment of
Ireland and securing international recog-
milton and supporters of Ireland's politi-
cal rights as the first step towards which
she should claim representation at the
coming peace conference at The Hague
and settlement OF the dispute between
Ireland and England by the International

The union drivers accepted the invita-

ITALY WILL FAVOR
DISARMAMENT
At THE HAGUE

Rome May 16.--The attitude of Italy
at the coming Hague peace conference
was defined in the chamber OF deputies
yesterday by Foreign Minister Tittoni.
The statement OF the minister had been
awaited with much interest, especially
In diplomatic circles, and the house was
crowded Among those assembled in
the diplomatic gallery was the Ameri-
can ambassador. Mr.. Griscom.
Signor Tittoni said that the Italian
government was in favor of the limita-
tion OF armaments and would even take
part in the discussion OF the question
at The Hague, but the government
agreed with the Austro- Germany reser-
vations on the subject, because of the
difficulty in finding a practically ac-
ceptable solution OF the problem in
volved.
Continuing, the foreign minister said
the British government had not ycc
adopted n concrete formula TO be pro-
posed TO the conference which. IL not
considered practically acceptable by
the great powers, would be dropped.
thus postponing discussion OF the
question without causing a conflict or
arousing resentment Nobody could de-
ny that the British point OF view was
prudent and wise. The minister added:
II believe that Italy can even take
part In n discussion of the question,
reserving TO herself the same liberty
OF examination and judgment without
involving any contradiction OF my for
mer statements In this connection. II
there Is any contradiction, there must
also be contradictions between the
statements made in President Roose-
velt's message to congress. In his letter
to the national arbitration and peace
congress at New York, and In his
speech at the inauguration OF the
jamestown exposition"
Previous to making his statement on
the attitude OF Italy at The Hague,
sig. Tittoni in reply to interpretations
In the house said that the meeting at
Rapolla between the German imperial
chancellor, Prince Won Buelow. and
himself. the meeting between King
Edward and King Victor Emmanuel at
Gaeta and the visit OF the italian king
TO Athens. were Indications of the
digniied policy OF Italy. He added:
MY interviews with Prince Won
Buelow at Rapolla and Sir Charles
Hardinge at Gaeta showed that Ger
many and Great Britain were always
and OF settling any difficulties in a
friendly manner.
while Italy can remain loyal to her
alliance with one OF those powers with
out diminishing her friendship for the
other and without arousinR suspicious
on the part of either OF those powers.
our policy consists OF unshnkable loyal
~ TO the triple alliance, sincere friend
ship for Great Britain and France and
cordial relations with all OF the other
powers
THE attitude OF the British govern
ment absolutely excludes the possi-
bility of it's proposition for the dis
cussion OF the Limitation OF armaments
causing friction among the powers

CURIOUS PROPOSITION
FOR DISARMAMENT

Paris, May l6.-A curious proposition
suggesting the complete disarmament of
the colonies belonging 10 all the powers,
except for interior police purposes. was In
troduced by NJ Rodier. governor general
Of Cochin China. at a meeting today OF
the arbitration committee OF parliament.
IL declares that the arguments against
general disarmament DO not apply I'm any
way 20 the colonies. which should be
placed under the protection Of all vici-
lized nations. The fortihcation OF the
coaling stations and naval bases OF mari
time nations which are considered 20 be
q portion OF their home defenses would
lie permitted
