 of neglected languages. A writer says: There are not less than nine almost forgotten tongues which since the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury have retaken their places, politi- caliy and in literature, among the Ian. suages of modern Europe. The nine are Greek, Roumanian, Bulgarian, Ser vian Magyar. Cvech. Finnish, Norsk and Flemish. The list does not include Gaelic, which is now experiencing re- suscitation in some parts of Ireland at the hands of the Gaelic League, nor Polish, which achieved political aud literary revival in Galicia. Ina nine languages first named are now used by 50 ,00O, 900 of people--a fact which S9es not suggest much likelih ood of the approach of a universal language.
 At the beginning of the nineteen n century the statesmen of Europe. El- most with out exception. held that She extinction of the smaller languages, which had already ceased to hold a place in courts or general literature was desirable on political grounds. Tn

It Is possible that the meeting may

to have been secured some time ago
by the arrangement between Redmond

Discuss Penal Code.

So persistent have been the enorts
made in the house OF representatives
to amend the bill codifying the penal
laws Of the United States that the
committee on revision of laws today
consented to let down the bars and as
a result the measure was changed in
some important particulars.
The pacific attitude Of the commit.
tee in this regard served to modify
the opposition members and in conse.
quence the proceedings, today were
devoid Of the heated arguments
which have characterized the previous
debates. When the house at 1850 p
m. adjourned, there were pending Q
number Of other important amend.
ments which seemed to meet with no
particular opposition by the commit
tee, but which were passed over until
tomorrow in order that the members
might have time to consider them
carefully.
M portions Of the bill which at.
tracted the most attention were those
covering the giving and accepting Of
brides by senators and members and
the sale OF endorsements or support
for appointive public Offices. It Is to
the amendments touching these ques,
tions that the house tomorrow will
devote itself upon resuming consid.
Grafton Of the bill.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Rear Admiral
.Cowles, head Of the bureau Of the

house committee on naval affairs In
the hearings incident to consideration
OF the navy appropriation bill.
Admiral Cowles informed the com.
mittee that the cost Of transportation
of coal for the feet now sailing to
San Francisco will be $1,000,000.
Without making any corrective re-
concentrations, he called attention to
the fact that with q single exception,
the Golfers chartered to accompany
the feet are. foreign bottoms, Amert
can owners having declined to give
charters even at the so per cent adj
vance on foreign quotations which
THE government offered.
The reason for their refusal was
that American vessels could make
more money by plying in the coast
wise trade. The exception noted was
the collier Virginia, whose owners
gave a charter at a slight advance be.
cause they purposed transferring the
traffic to the Pacific trade.
