England's New Leaders.

Sydney Brooks, in Harper's Weekly.
 The new cabinet England now has is stronger because on all questions of for eign policy the prime minister and the foreign secretary are now at one. So far as the latters department of affairs is concerned the cabinet is a Rosebery cab inet without Lord Rosebery. It would be hard to conceive two men in closer polit- ical agreement than MT Asquith and Sir Edward Grey. Both belong to the same school of political thought and to the same order of political temperament. Both are pledged to uphold the continuity of for eign policy. In the last cabinet it not infrequently happened that the premier and the foreign secretary spoke with two voices. "C-B" subscribed to the senti- mental view of foreign affairs, and rarely ventured on questions connected with them without compromising his country. His handling of The Hague conference and of the limitation of armaments, for instance, was altogether opposed to the general sense of the country. Nobody in England thought it was Sir Edward Grey's doing, or that he really approved of it. It was universally recognized as a stroke off "C-B's' own bat: and the awkwardness of the prime minister having one policy and his foreign secretary an- other was widely commented on. Nothing of the kind is likely to happen while the present cabinet remains in office. The agreement between MT. Asquith and Sir Edward Grey on the first principles, aims and methods of British foreign policy is

Hotel Martinique.
Buffalo Times.

Buffalo Times
 Having outgrown it's capacity the Hotel Martinique is being enlarged to meet in- creasing demands. This model of every thing that is luxurious and satisfying in hotel life of the metropolis is already fine example of hotel architecture It's claims upon the resident and transient public have grown up under the foster ing care of MT. Charles Leigh Taylor, president; MT. Walter s. Gilson, vice pres ident; MT. Paul L. Pinilerton, manager; and MT. L. A. Miller, assistant manager. We could not name a site in New York more accessible to the chief objects and places of interest for New Workers, vis- stors and tourists than the Junction of Broadway and Thirty-third street, where stands the hospitable and sumptuous Martinique. Towering above all adjacent buildings, it affords a fine view and is sup pied with light rarely equalled in the great busy city. Hygienic conditions, ven lilation, interior equipment and home like conveniences of the highest order are equal to the most fastidious demands. Decorations and furnishings are on scale of refined beauty and unique design The foyer, for instance, is trimmed in dark Spanish oai; with tapestry panels espe- cially woven, being copies of the famous series designed by Le Brun for Louis XIV. The ceilings are made beautiful with mural paintings of extreme rich ness and dellcacy The Thirty third street dining room of Louis XVI has been de- clared the most artistic and exquisite din tug room in the city.
 The best proof that the cuisine is of the highest order is that the restaurants are continually filled with patrons of the best ranks of society Food is excellent, wines exceptional service prompt and unobtru- siye The gentlemen's Broadway cafe is indeed a gem The walls and columns of soft Italian marble make the room a feast for the eye and q delight for the mind The Dutch room appeals to many on account of the Holland tile flooring, oak wainscoting and oak beam ceiling, enhanced by oil paintings of German scenery.
 The Martinique offers to New Workers and transient guests the highest accom- lnodations at reasonable rates. Rooms without baths are $2 per day and upward, w.th baths $3. 50 and upward; parlor be1 room and bath are s6 per day and upward. Nearby is an excellent garage, the serv- ice of which is S1.50 day for storage and cleaning.
 Under the able management of MT. Paul P.nkerton and MT. L. A. Miller, the as- sistant manager, everything goes like clock work.
 The large staff of employees are experts in their different departments and every ore connected with this hotel does all in his power to please employers and guests.
 Is it to be wondered at that enlargement Of the Martinique was necessary? Surely not
 We congratulate the proprietors upon their well earned success, which surely will continue.

BIG PENSIONS ARE GIVEN ID
 RELATIVES OF DEAD HEROES

Washington, May B.-(Special. .)-The House today passed a bill granting to Jennie Carool and Mabel Lazeara month- ly sums of $125 each during the remainder of their lives. Behind the enactment of the measure is the story of the death of Maj. James Carool and Dr. Jess Lazeara, officers of the army, who in order to test their theory that yellow fever is com municated through the bites of mosquitoes exposed themselves to the insect and died from the effects thereof.
 The experiments were conducted in Ha- vana in 1900, and as result 1t was deter mined that the spread of yellow fever can be most effectually controlled by meas ures directed to the destruction of mos qutos and the protection of the sick against the bites of these insects.
 In reference to the action of the House in rewarding distinguished achievements in medicine, it will be remembered that the English government gave to Jenner, the discoverer of vaccination, grants amounting to $15O000. Jenner also re- ceived about $4000O through popular sub scription.

Attempt to Convene Arkansas
 Legislature Proves Failure
P|NDALL MAKES SPEECH
Legislators Gather Under the Call of Acting Governor Hamiter But Gov ernor PindaIi Puts End to
 Proceedings.

Little Rock. Ark, May 1S.-The Ar kansas legislature failed to convene to- day In pursuance to call issued by Speaker Allen H. Hamiter, while he was acting governor, and as the result there will be no extraordinary session of that body. Noon and afternoon ses- sions were held by members of both the senate and house, but there was not quorum at any of the four ses- sions. The house at the close of the afternoon session, adjourned sine die The senate met as a mass meeting of senators at the afternoon session and adopted resolutions recognizing Acting Governor x. o. Pindalls power to re- yoke Speaker Hamiter's call for an ex- tra session, agreed to disperse and re- turn home.
 Contrary to expectations no attempt was made in the senate to elect new president of that body and thus in- stitute an custer movement against Governor Pindall. However, the pos abilities of movement of that kind were so great before the senate that Governor Pindall, fearing such an at tempt at a minute of two after, 12 noon started to leave his office for the sen ate chamber with the intention of pre-
 siding. Previously he had declared that he would not recognize the session as he had issued proclamation revok- ing the call. Governor Pindall was stopped at the threshhold of his office Il, ,f democratic nominee for governor, who advised against him going to the senate chamber
 Governor Pindall accepted his ad- vice and returned to his office. He did not go near the senate chamber at
 either meeting.
 The senate proceedings took up noth- ing but the question of how to proper 1 ly adjourn.
 Senator oldham of Little Rock was elected president of the meeting and after a few short speeches on the sub ject Senator John I. Moore's motion to disperse was adopted and the senators left the chamber.
 Fourteen senators were present at , the noon session and AT at the sec , ond. Fifty-one were required for a i quorum. Speaker Hamiter presided at both sessions. The noon session lasted 1 but a few minutes. The afternoon ses- sion lasted fully an hour and a half and during that time many of the rep | resentatives delivered more or les | spirited speeches in which different | views on the subject of an extra ses- | sion were expressed.
 1 Between 10 and II o'clock caucus | of 51 members of the house was held at | the city hall. The caucus was open to
 all members and those participating l were not to be bound by the vote of
 caucus. Twenty-six voted to adjourn
 sine die after convening and 25 voted against. Eleven voted not to answer roll call
 Twenty-two members of the senate l caucused at the Hotel Marion. Gov
 ernor Pindall was present and made a ! short address in which he explained his reasons for revoking the call.

GRAVE SITUATION
 IN GUATEMALA

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, May 13.-(Via New Orleans, May 1S)-Grave reports on the peace situation of the Central Amer ican republics were brought here today by passengers from Guatemala on the steam CT Corinto.
 These reports say that Special Minister Bustillo of Honduras has been sentenced to death and that the Mexican legation, in which he has taken refuge, is sur rounded by Guatemalan troops with or ders not to let him leave the country alive.
 The sentence against Bustillo. accord ing to the reports from the Corinto, was pronounced on alleged proofs that he carried into Guatemala 10000 pesos to be President Cabrera of Guatemala. The money is said to have come from both President Zelaya of Nicaragua and a Honduran named Gamez, and to have been consigned to Juan Arias.
 The Corinto passengers said also that terrible whippings have been adminls- tered to Don Luis Midence, Manuel Lard izbae and others. Arias, to whom the 10000 pesos were said to have been con- signed, was reported to have received 200 lashes. Some of the Corinto passengers said they heard that three or four per sons were being shot daily. They said that Guatemala had about 4O,000 men un- der arms.
 Reports that Honduras has been con- oentratlng troops on the Guatemalan from tier have not been confirmed here, and apparently are without foundation.

BLOW AT TEXAS LAW.
Supreme Court Decides Case in Favor
 of tifc Railroad.

Washington. May 1S.-In deciding the case of the Galveston and San Antonio Railway company versus the state of Texas. involving taxes on that and other Texas roads, the supreme court of the United States today held to be uncon- stitutional the Texas law of 1905 fixing the tax rate on railroads equal to one per cent of their gross earnings when they lie wholly within the state and proportionate sum when they lie partly within the state. The opinion of the court was delivered by Justice Holmes, who held that the law is an effort to regulate interstate commerce and that therefore the tax could not be collected. The chief justice and Justices Harlan, White and McKenna united in a dissent ing opinion, which was delivered by Jus tice Harlan. Justice Harlan expressed the opinion that the decision strikes 8 very serious blow at the taxing law of the state.

The appointment was made by the execu- tive committee of the organization after the deposition of the former president, Dr. J. F. Duncan. Dr. Peerson was prior to his appointment vice president of the union. He has proven himself to be a very useful and efficient officer and his past record justifies the prediction that he will make a progressive, and at the same time a conservative president.

One of Bodies on Gunness Farm Is That of Woman
MAYS WATCH IDENTIFIED
Coroner is Still Holding Burned Bodies Until the Coroner Returns His Verdict Upon All the Fire
 Victims.

La Porte, Ind, May 1s.-The autopsy de- iivered today on the remains of the seven unidentified dead exhumed from Mrs. GGnness' private burial ground was com pleted this evening and revealed the fact, according to the reports of Drs. F. T. Will cox and George Osborne, who conducted the autopsy under the direction of Coro- ner Mack, that one of the seven was fe- male.
 This has aroused new interest in the story of Emil Greening of Oklahoma City, Okla, who was employed by Mrs. Gun ness in the fall of 1904 Greening worked for Mrs. Guinness at the time that Jennie Olsen disappeared, and his story was Io the effect that on a certain day in Sep tember a man and woman came to the house and that night Mrs. Guinness asked Greening to sleep in the barn, for the couple, who she said were the professor and his wife, from the Los Angeles col lege, which Jennie was to attend, would spend the night at the house and would require Greening's bedroom. In the morn ing Greening saw nothing of Jennie nor the man and woman, and was informed
 
 early train, taking Jennie along.
 This body, which is now declared to be that of a woman, was taken from the same hole as was that of Jennie Olsen, and in that hole also were the bodies of Ole Budsberg of lola, Wis, and the re- mains of male person. All the bodies were dismembered, but the trunks of the four were such that it was possible to identify the bodies of Jennie Olsen and Budsberg, and made it possible by today's autopsy to determine that one of the other two was that of a female. The theory now advanced is that Mrs. Guinness may have on the same night, the night that Greening slept in the barn, murdered not cnly Jennie Olsen, but also the man and woman.
 The mystery surrounding the watch found on the person of Ray Lamphere when he was arrested was cleared today when J. c. Ramden of Mansfield, N D., who came here yesterday to investigate the disappearancee eof his half brother, John Moe of Elbow Lake, Minn, identi- fled the timepiece as the one owned by his brother when he left home.
 The number of the watch correspoLded with the one in Noes possession. Iam- phere said that Mrs. Guinness gave him the watch. Ramden is positive that his brother was murdered by Mrs. Guinness, but he was not able to identify any of the remaining skeletons and so will not be able to provide proper burial for lis brother.
 The bodies of the seven unidentified dead will be buried tomorrow in the pot ters field. Christian services will be cor ducted over them.
 Coroner Mack is still holding the bodies of the four persons who lost their lives in the fire, and who, according to every pro- duced evidence, are the bodies of Mrs. Guinness and her three children. They will be held until Coroner Mack files his formal verdict.
 The La Porte county grand jury heard the. stories of a number of witnesses in the Guinness case. The expectation is that the greater share of the week will be con Sun1ed in the inVestiRation

San Francisco, May 1S.-In a gray mist of a rainy morning the Atlantic fleet sailed out through the Golden Gate today on it's way to visit various ports in Puget Sound. On its way up the coast the fleet will sail close to the shore at cer- tain points in order to give the people of Northern California and Oregon an opportunity to view the vessels underway at sea.

Washington, May 1s.-That the city of New York has ceased to be cotton mar ket was the contention of MT. Burleson of Texas in the House today. He offered statistics which he said proved that the stock of cotton carried in New York has for number of years been gradually de- creasing until it has reached the point where many believe future trading on the exchange is actually endangered, be- cause there are not sufficient reserves in New York upon which to do this busi- ness" MT. Burleson declared that the New York cotton exchange members

complete, and the nation most assuredly gains by it.
 Again the new cabinet is stronger be- cause 1t has got rid of some of the less satisfactory members of the old. Lord Elgin leaves the colonial office after rul- ing an astonished empire in the manner of the heavy father'' of stage tradition. Dull, slow and unresponsive, he resem- bled that predecessor whom Lord Rose bery has crucified as lone of those strange children of our political system who con trive to fill the most dazzling offices with the most complete obscurity." Lord Elgin typified the kind of ultra British person. ality that ought never to be allowed in- side the colonial office-the kind of per sonality from which 1t was hoped that MT. Chamberlain had forever rescued the gov ernance of the empire. Lord Tweed mouth, again, is transferred from the ad- miralty at s25O00 a year to the dignified seclusion of the lord presidency of the council at $10,000 a year. A delightful personality, he has not proved a great success as an administrator, and the af- fair of the Kaiser's letter attached a certain ridicule to him.
