CANNON SEES LIGHT.
The Speaker Is Almost Persuaded on
the Paper Tariff.

Washington, April 15.-The filibuster-
ing crusade Of the Democrats in the
house who are seeking to force action
on the bill removing the tariff from
wood pulp and white print paper prom
ises to bring results in the caucus OF
the house Republicans, scheduled for
Thursday night. Representative
Stevens Of Minnesota, the author Of a
wood pulp bill, announced today that
he would move that the caucus fndorse
his measure. He is assured Of the sup
port Of the solid Republican delegations
from the northwestern states. Stevens
consulted Speaker. Cannon as to the
plan and found that Cannon apparent
ly has seen the light" in the matter.
At least Stevens was confident that the
speaker would not @bar the way.
The situation has become embarras-
sing for many of the house Republi-
cans. The Democrats have succeeded
in advertising the fact thoroughly that
the Republicans are holding up this
legislation. Publishers great and small
throughout the middle west have made
demands for action on their members
of congress. The result Is that Speaker
Cannon finds the pressure for the bill
more than he can easily Withstand. A
big element Of the house membership
favors adopting a caucus resolution in
structing the ways and means commit
tee to report a wood pulp measure.

Everybody cheered and went out
happy.

Microscopic Sensations.

The joys and sorrows of life to @ baneful bacterium are said to be as real as the pains and pleasures of an elephant, for example: Why do the bacteria choose certain conditions and reject others? This selection of the favorable condition and rejection of the unfavorable is perhaps the funda- mental point, although other elements of their existence point to the fact that they have sensations. It often is maintained that this selection is per. sonal or conscious choice Prof. Jen. nings Is convinced that if the amoeba were large animal, so as to come within the every day experience ot human beings, its behavior at once would call forth the attribution to il of states of pleasure and pain, o1 hunger, desire, and the like. If words have meaning it Is correct, he argues to say that the bacteria enjoy life They struggle for existence. The struggle implies all the victories and all the defeats attendant upon the struggle for existence among the high est organisms. The bacteria of an or ganic disease should be as capable oi sensations as monkey.

 'Wilson argued his case, oited sev- eral opinions, and finally remarked: Squire, have here some decisions by the supreme court of Pennsylvania, which I shall read
 Wilson finished one decision when the justice interrupted, saying:

RussIAN's "PREsENcE op MiNn."
Anecdcte Illustrates CalIousness ot ahe Cxar's Officials.

A grimly humorous aneedote is told by the distinguished patriot, Prince Serge Dmitriyevich Urossov. in his book entitled Memoirs of a Russian Governor" translation of which has just been introduced over hero by the Harpers. Prince Urussov writes:
 "One of my nearest collaborators in Bessarabia, von R-n. the oldest councillor of the provincial admins tration, and very kindly man, liked to tell sometimes of his presence of mind. Twenty years before he was called upon to be present at the exeeu- tion of a Jewish criminal. The con- demned man hung the required num- Der oS minutes and was taken down from the gallows, when the physician was supposed to confirm his death. But it appeared that they had forgot ten to cut of his long, thick beard. 60 the moose did not kill.
 Imagine yourself in my position. said Rohren; the doctor told me the Jew would come back to life in Eve minutes. What was to do? To hang him second time I held to be impos sible, and yet had to execute the death sentence
 But what did you do, thenf asked, and received the memorable answer:
