THE PRIME MINISTER.

A Foreign Govereign Responsible For
This English Official.
SO long as the sovereign himself pre-
sided at the meetings of the cabinet
there was no obvious necessity for Civ
ing any member of 1t precedence over
the others. But from the accession of
the house of Hanover the king ceased
to take part in the deliberations of the
cabinet. II has been said, indeed. by
modern statesman that, with doubt
full exception In the time of George
ILL.,, no sovereign has been present at
q meeting of the cabinet since Anne"
The change, like so many other mod
into the British constitution. was the
result of purely accidental circum-
stance. George /. could not speak the
English language. 1t was clearly use
less for monarch to be present at the
meetings of his councillors when he
did not understand the language In
which their deliberations were carried
on. But when the sovereign was thus
necessarily and habitually absent from
the cabinet 1t became requisite that
some minister should be chosen who
should preside mt the meetings and
report its decisions to the king. Thus
the accession of foreigner who could
not converse in English led to one Of
the most momentous changes in the
constitution. The act of settlement
had given England u foreign sover-
elgn; the presence of foreign sover-
elgn gave England a prime minister

DINGLEY RATE STANDS.
Senate Fixes Duty on Lead Ore by a
Party Vote

Washington. May s.-Just before
adjournment last night the senate
voted to fix the duty on lead con-
tanned in lead ore at one and one
half cents a pound which is the rate
of the Dingley law and of the pending
bill as it was passed by the house.
Fifty-three senators. including all
the Republicans present and Senators
Hughes of Colorado and McEnery of
Louisiana voted in favor of the duty
and 10 Democratic senators voted
against it. This particular para
graph has not been opposed by the
low tariff Republicans and the vote
was not significant
Mr. Bristow declared 1t costs no
more to make pig lead in this country
than abroad. Mr.. Bristow was in
terrupted by Senators A1drich, Hey
burn, Borah, Smoot, Sutherland and
others, all contending that the labor
cost in producing lead was enough
greater than abroad to justify the
differential of five-eighths of one cent
per pound as proposed by the COM
mittee on finance. Bristow said he
would offer no opposition to the pro-
posed duty on lead in ore because of
conditions but protested against any
additional duty on pig lead, the prod
uct of the ore.

HAIR GROWN In CHINA
Is Worn by Many Fashionable Women
in America.

Washington, May s.-while it is a
well known fact that all of the hair
displayed by the American woman in
her handsome and stylish coiffoire is
not necessarilv her own, it is not so
generally known that much of it may
have been grown" in China.
But such would seem to be the case,
according to Vice Consul General Full
Ter at Hong Kong, who reports to the
bureau of manufactures, that 207, 414
pounds Of human hair were invoiced for
shipment to the United States from
that port last year. The year previous
but 36133 pounds had been exported to
this country and then came fashions
requiring massive head pieces. In con-
sequence the women had to have more
hair to fill them and surplus hair of
the celestial kingdoms 400 millions at
once became a marketable commodity.
THE hair reaches Hong Kong from
the interior said Consul Fuller. land
is cleaned and sorted according to
length and quality. 1t is then packed
and stored or disinfected and shipped
to New York. 1t is said here that the
hair can be so treated in New York
as to alter its color and texture, and
that it is used to make the switches,
curls and bangs so fashionable in the
United States at the present time"

WEST IS TO BLAME.
Demand for Precious Stones Will
Cause Another Advance.

New York, May S.-Because of the
demand of the west and the southwest
for precious stones the prices of dia-
monds and pearls are to be increased
soon Prosperity in those sections is
credited by the Maiden Lane dealers
with causing them to do more than
100 per cent more business in pre-
cious stones last April than during
the same month last year. A leading
importer is quoted as saying that as
soon as the tariff question is settled
there will be an increase in the price
of diamonds at least. The price of
pearls has been increased thirty per
cent recently because Of the failure of
the India fisheries. It is said that it is
practically impossible now to obtain
fine large oriental pearls.
