House May Refuse to Limit
Amendments to Payne Bill

WASHINGTON, Msych 1.-THE republican
house leaders are finding themselves in
quite a quandry as to their future line Of
procedure. They are one and all convinced
that the only way to deal with the Payne
tariff bill is TO bring in a rule cutting
off all amendments. but they tire con-
fronted with a considerable doubt as to
siderable doubt as TO the possibility Of
getting such IA rule adopted. There does
not appear to he apprehension on account
OF the rules insurgents" as a body. but
many OF the republican members who did
not join the insurgents as well as many
of the insurgents themselves are demand
ing the right to present amendments to
some OF the schedules Many OF them are
quite indispossd 10 surrender this privil-
ege an dths number is sufficient to render
doubtful the adoption of the rule II re-
pOrted. In view OF this fact the present in
clipstiou Is % drift with the tide and con-
tinue the general debate until the sky
In clearer. The leaders generally contend
that n the way is once opened for the
offering OF amendments by members gen
orally and for the discussion OF them the
consideration OF the bill will be indefinitely
prolonged. This complication will be
avoided II n Is found possible to obtain the
adoption % = strfcter rule OF cloture.

League OF Republican clubs, together with

of Missouri, and ex-Congressman James
Watson Of Indiana, in addressing the
league and It's guests, quite 300 in num-
Der, said in part, as follows:
Nebraska was lost to the republican fold
because the candidate of opposition was
believed by his neighbors to be better than
his party and they reckoned It was no
harm for them to compliment a candidate,
knowing as they did. that the rest of the
country would repudiate the party.

Secretary Macveagh Initiates Taft's
Plan for Economy.
LETTER SENT TO BUREAU CHIEFS
Budget Eatimates Must he Closely
studied and VIII he Passed Upon
by Cabinet After Considera-
tion of Income.

WASHINGTON March T.-Economy in
the administrative departments Of the gov
ernment is to be insisted on by President
Taft and the members of his cabinet. At
the first cabinet meeting after Mr. Tafts
Inauguration the question was fully dis
cussed and an agreement reached that the
members of the cabinet were to constitute
themselves budget committee which
through subcommittee could carefully
scrutinise each item of the estimates OF
appropriations submitted to congress by
the several bureau chiefs and other ad-
ministrative officers with a view to
eliminating every item not necessary to
the efficient working of the government
machinery. This plan received the hearty
endorsement OF all the members of the
cabinet, but the credit for taking the in
itiative in putting il into effect belongs
10 Secretary of the Treasury Macveagh.
Secretary MacVeagh today addressed a
letter TO the principal officers of the Treas

partments of the government, asking them
TO take immediate measures to consider

to make the estimates of expenditures for
the next and future years with the great
care ana II is desiable that the attention

 I dropped down on the edge of my bed and buried my face in my hands. I heard footsteps tiptoeing away from my door, and then in a moment, as half expected. returning noisily.
 Come in,' said I, in answer to the knock.
 It was the doctor, but this time the doctor with his manner all prepared. It was at once good humored and patronizing.
 Well, my good man. said he, "l hope you feel no further i'll effects from that warm June sum-"
 "No," said I, q guess I'm right enough"
 Then, by way of experiment, I shot a quick question at him.
 "Is this my room, the room l have lived in right along?"
 His face seemed to stiffen a little in its false mask of kindly humor

 While her sickness was of con- paratively short duration her life has for the past two weeks been de aired of, so that the news just received was not unexpected.
 Mrs. Connolly with one of her daughters came here last January to visit Father Connolly and re- mained nntil June, returning i'll apparently good health and pro- missing to return here to spend the coming winter.
 In the sorrow accasioned him by theloss of his most estimable mother, Father Connolly may feel assured of our full sympathy and that of his many friends in Arizona.

Face Was Ab-
 solutely Strange

The train was whistling for stop, and was going to stop not more than a mile or two away.
 Instinctively I felt for my watch, but there was nothing of the sort in my pocket I was disappointed, for though only half conscious of the req son why, I wanted to know what time the train came in. Suddenly an eX- pedient occurred to me. The sun was slanting through my windows at an acute angle with the easement. With my thumb nail scratched on the sill the outline of the shadow.
 Some one was standing outside my door, watching me, no doubt, through the keyhole. An involuntary move ment of his feet betrayed so much to me, and moment later, restless of espionage, ! crossed over to the far ther corner of the room.
 In doing so I caught glimpse of another movement, and looking up l saw what l wonder l had not thought of looking for earlier-a mirror. The sight of it made my heart beat quickly
 Of course," I thought. that is all 1t needs. A glance at myself will bring my memory back to me
 I walked around and stood before the glass. But the face I saw was ab- solutely strange to me, as strange as the doctors face or the guards had been. It was bewildering, uncanny almost enough indeed to drive a man mad, to see the haggard look of pain and disappointment and something not far from terror in that stran- gers face; and to realize that it was only the irrepressible emotion of my own soul that I saw reflected there.
 Then, like touch of the spur, ral lying all my courage anew, there came the faint sound of a chuckling laugh i from the other side of the door. In ! standing before the mirror I had again come under the observation ol

Trainnens' Ball
 Grand Success

Winslow Lodge of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen held their sevnth annual ball at the Opera House Thanksgiving Eve ming. The event was largely attended, in fact the attendance was greater than at any previous ball conducted by the Trainmen The grand march, starting 'pro- mptly at nine o'clock, led by Mir. and Mrs. J. L. Service, proved to be a brilliant affair and ere the march was fairly started 1t was seen that the capacity of the hall was to be taxed for the evening The crowd stayed until the early hours of the morning and thor oughly enjoyed themselves every minute.
 The music, furnished by the following well known artists: G. Barnes, first violin, Dr. F. H. Waite, bass viol; Jas. w. Bain, cornet; l. C. Ryf,' slide trombone and Miss Fisher, pianist, was surely a treat and was thoroughly appreciated by dancers and spec tators alike.
 The supper was spread ill the banquet room of the Elks Hall and was served by the Ladies of Tie Maccabees. Needless to say these ladies lived up to their re p1tation of the past, the spread being fully equal to anything heretofore served on an occasion of this kind.
