nized afbiter of the American colony

cording to well defined La Sale street
lreports, have been going on by which
la syndicate of prominent democrats,
headed by Mrs. Palmer, seeks to obtain
control of The Record Herald, one of
Victor LawsoT's publications.
If the syndicate obtains the Lawson
publication, ii is planned that H H.
Kohlsaat Win be once more in control
of the property he sold Lawson some
years ago. Mrs. Palmer, it is said. has
practically determined to put up suffi-
cient funds to submit the purchase of
the Record Herald in order that her
sons, Potter and Honore, may enter the
business field. -
Z Potter Palmer recently married Paul
inc Kohlsaat, daughter of the former
newspaper owner. and it is said it Is
through the efforts Of Mr.. Kohlsaat that
the society leader has been interested
In the proposition.
The purchase price placed upon the
property by Mr.. Lawson is said to ap-
proximate s2.Oo0.O00 including the
bonds on the property, which r. holds,

He SAYS RULES
ARE IMPROVED.
CLERK OF THE HOUSE RECALLS
WHEN THEY WERE WORSE.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Apropos Of the
agitation for changes in the rules Of
the house OF representatives, Asher c.
Kinds. who, for the past fifteen years,
has been parliamentary clerk of that
body. has prepared a statement con-
cerning the operations of the present
code OF which the following is an abb
stract:
Mr.. Kinds says the belief has been
widely inculcated that the rules are
obstructive to the free course of bust
ness, and that they concentrate too
much power I'm the hands of few.
Such a.. criticism. he says, would have
been true twenty years ago, but in 1890
the rules were reformed for the very
purpose of expediting the course OF
business and destroying the obstruc-
tive power Of the few" The great
iFT the fuTes thus made,
he says, are almost always overlooked
by those who recall the conflicts OF
1890" ~

BONAPARTE rule
AS TO WHISKEY
"REAL COMPOUND MUST HAVE
CERTAIN PROPORTION:
or @BooZEv t". g.

Washington, Dec. 9.--Attorney GEN
eral Bonaparte, in an opinion rendered
to the secretary of agriculture, has
defined what is a Zeal compound"
as relates to whiskey.
The attorney general says, that in
any such mixture there must be
enough whisky to make it a real
compound and not mere semblance
of one. Such a mixture, in the opin-
ion Of the attorney general, may be
fairly called whisky, provided the
name is accompanied by the word
compound or Compounded" and
provided a statement of the presence
of another spirit is included in sub
stance in the title.
Attorney General Bonaparte says
that in the absence of definite judi
cial determination Of the statute, this
opinion will govern.
