more, tie result of an attack by people
of the monumental city upon the Sixth
Massachusetts, Regiment. Several Of the
soldiers we're killed aud a number OF
BaItimoreaDs were killed and wounded

to Washington when attacked. At that

10 Baltimore, as well as in other paris OF
Maryland. 1t proved to be short-ltved,
however, although numberS OF Mary

Turkey Yields to Italy.

Rome, April 2O.-The Turkish am
bAssaoor noliied lbs Italian foreign
office today that the sultan has yielded
to King VIctOr's demand for authority
to open Italian posioffices in Turkey, q
privilege enjoyed by all other foreign
powers.
On the strength Of the sultan's sur
render orders for ali Italian squadron's
departure for demonstration in Turk
ish waters were counteimanded for the
present. Formal orders for the feet to
sail were being prepared when the Turk
ish message Wss communicated TO the
foreign office. The demonstration Is
still possibility for the near future, as
the postoffice question is but one OF a
number concerning which differences
exist between the two governments.
The kaiser's recent trip through Italy,
HE conversations with King Victor, the
fact that he is still at Corfu, near the
scene of the threatened trouble, and
German Chancellor Prince Won Bulow's
arrival 10 Victor's territory but short
time ago, has led TO the suspicion among
politicians that Germany is backing the
Italians in ihsir present plans. Foreign
diplomats, judging from dispatches from
Rome and other European capitals, are
somewhat apprebensiVe that the father
land may count on disturbance into
which it may be able to force itself as ar
bitrator, gaming important advantages
for itself in Turkish territory.
Another rumor is that the Italian heet
may be Joined By French squadron,
the Paris government being at outs with
the sultan over the latter's attempt to
regain control of mines in Asia Minor in
which French concessaries claim q
SIS, 900, 600 interest.

ID. ar Sirs: We mske Devoe, and Of coursa,
know what there is in it: but you don't. your
neighbors don't, aud the people don't. SO
we get the official chemist of every State in
the Union to analyze il and tell what he finds:
Of course they find what we put-iu: lead,
zinc and oil, little turpentine dryer, and
color for tints. And that's paint. Every
agent has the anal > sis Of DeYoe by his State
chemist.
We also anslyEe all other paints, and what
do we find?
We find eight made Of the same materials
as Devoe: all paint pure paint. But we
hOd no one Of the same proportions as DeVoe
no one so strong.
And people are trying DeVoe alongside OF
these other paints, and fiading out how they
work what il cos to paint Devoe; what 1t
costs TO paint those several paints; how they
wear alongside and comparatively.
There's do guess-work in any Of these re-
suits. A gallon DeyOe goes further than
any other gallon in all paint; it therefore
saves both parts Of first cost Of q job, Of paint
and labor. 1t makes the best tIb Of the lot,

and that bills called up under this privi-
lege can be passed by q majority instead
of two thirds vote SIS required under

When the House convened, Mr.. Will
lisms made a statement that he was not
angry last Satnrdy evening when he
refused to take the speakers proffered
hand after The speaker had disregarded
his demand for division Of the adjourn
ment motion.
Speaker Cannon replied that he
meant to do nothing out Of the way and
that he had a right to disregard the
demand on the ground that 1t was dila-
tory.
Mr.. DalEsIl, 10 calling up his new
rule, said:
"You can be very sure that the ma
jority In this House Is going TO 6nd 3
way to pass the private and special bills
10 which gentlemen on this aide Of the
House are interested. This rule pro-
yides the way. As to the number Of
private bills you democrats will have
passed, leave that to your imsgina-
ton. There will not be many If any.
When Mr.. DalIell called for the pre-
vions question on his new rule, Mr..
Williams began with IL ask for the ayes
and nays for lear"
But the speaker interrupted him
peremptorily with, "!he gentlemen is
within his constitutional rights which no
one will ignore"
The roll was then called on the adop-
ton OF the previous questions aud the
new rnles were adopted.

sIxTY.Two delegates to the republic
can national convention to be held In
Chicago on June Is we're chosen last
week. Five hundred and fOrty-six dele
gates have now been chosen--a little
over one.half OF the membership Of the
convention, which was fixed in the re-
publican national committees call at
$50. The most notable incidents OF the
week we're the election of 20 Taft dele
gates in Minnesota, giving Mr.. Taft the
solid delegation nom that state, the
election of 10 Taft delegates in Mssss-
cbusetts and the failure of one more
New York district the 2lst-to instruct
for Governor Hughes. OF the delegates
elected during the week Taft got 49,
Hughes 8, Cannon 2, and IA we're un-
instructed. OF the $40 delegates SO far
named 256 are either instructed for
Taft. committed to his support by reso-
lutions of Endorsement or preference, or
have publicly announced in connection
with their election their intention to vote
for him at Chicago. Sixty-four are for
Kuox, So for Hughes, 46 for Cannon,
32 for Fairbanks, % for LaFOlIette and
II are uncommitted. Contests in which
presidential preferences are involved are
bsing made for 80 of the SAG seats.
Secretary Taft has the support OF Al per
cent. of the delegates 80 far elected. The
"big stick" so mercilessly welded by
President Roosevelt is driving of oPpo-
sitiou to his candidate, Secretary Taft,
and it now seems more than probable
that the latter will secure the nOmina'
ton without much more trouble.
