Rome, Aug. 17.-By his plan to send
the Duke of Abruzzi as ambassador to
Washington, King Victor Emanuel is
taking a direct slap at King Edward
Of England.
That is what those versed in the
vagaries Of European courts declare.

venturer to make his peace with Sem

This is in direct opposition to the
wishes Of the English monarch. The
English king wants an alliance Of the
duke with member Of his family. He
has selected Princess Victoria Patrica,
daughter of the duke Of Connaught,
as the future wife Of the Italian noble
man, but tho dukes heart has always
been lowering around Elkins, w. Va,

Joined him in his purpose to have an
American member OF the royal family.
Miss Elkins now Is in Europe, but
on account of the known enmity of
King Edward, she has cut England OF
her visiting list. The duke is still in
Asia, but Is certain to return when
informed that he has Just cause to re-
turn to America.
It is not thought that Miss Elkins
will prolong her European journey
when she learns of the proposed ap-
pointment.

Beverly. Mass. Aug. 16.-In q letter
addressed yesterday to Secretary Ma
gel, Of the department of commerce
and labor, President Taft served no.
dce that any man engaged in the TAX
Ing of the thirteenth census of the
United States who engages in politics
In any way will Immediately be dis
missed from the service. Outside of
casting their votes the president be-
leves that census supervisors and en-
umerators should keep clear of any
thing that savors Of politics, national,
state or local.
The president orders that the Sec
retary Of commerce and labor and
the director of the census embody in
the regulations covering the taking of
the census the rule so forcibly laid
down in his letter.
Mr.. Taft says that in appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary to select men RECOMMENDED
ed by senators and congressman in
their districts. He says he realizes
that this method of selection might
easily be perverted to political pur-
poses and it is to take the census
work out of politics, so far as the
actual work is concerned that he has
SO explicitly expressed his desire as
to the regulations.
President Taft has told the repre-
sentatives and senators who have
urged various men for census places
that he would insist that no active
partisan should be named, and that
no attempt should be made to build
up a political machine in any state
or district through the distribution of
the census patronage. The presi-
dents letter in full follows:
One hundred and thirty-four addi-
tional supervisors of the census were
appointed. President Taft was busy
until late Saturday night signing the
commissions of the successful candi-
dates. Altogether 1874 of the 336 sup
ervisors had been agreed upon. but
some are being held up temporarily
agreed on, but some are being held
on account of protests.

smoothers waters to the rapids.
The boy struggled for a time against
the current, but it was to no avail.

Again and again he disappeared, on.

Even then he had swum perhaps

English swimmer, Captain Webb. The

DEEP WATERWAYS IMPROVE

Mr.. r. II. Probasco, of Cincinnati, and
his coadjutors have determined to

they will have their plans formulated

they expect to foot the bill AS we

ways, at the expense of the men urg-
Ing them, but not at the expense OF

whom they would do no good and on

an imposition. This we believe TO be
the proper position for journal OF

tect the property rights of men. Be-
cause the people have been taxed IN
the past to raise money to support en-
terprises which benefited only the few
Is no reason at all why the wrong
should be repeated but an argument
against it, However, the plans and
specifications which these gentlemen
are maturing will show whether this
contemplated Improvement is one of
a broad, public nature which would
substantially benefit all the people
alike, Or whether 1t is put forward to
serve the purposes OF a few people
only, but at public expense. Its plans

China Requests the Return
of Minister WI Ting

Washington Aug. 13-Chinese Min
lister WI Ting-Fang has been re-
called from Washington and or
dered to Picking for further assign
ment. His successor will be Chang
Yin Tang, formerly charge d'affaires
at Madrid, and now Deputy Vice
President of Foreign Affairs. MIR.
WI is now in Peru, to which country
he has been accredited along with the
United States.
Announcement of the recall Of Min
lister WI came in cablegram to the
Chinese legation. This stated that
an important decree had been Issued
recalling Dr., WI and naming Chang
Yin Tang as his successor.
The recall surprised government
circles here. Lr. WI has been the
accredited representative of China In
the American continents since March,
1908, and during that time has done
much toward adding to the reputa-
tion he established among the people
generally during his first term as
minister to America in 1S97-1902, of
being one of the most popular diplo-
mats who ever came to Washington.
His wit and interest in American life
made him a popular figure During
his present ministry he became a
convert to vegetarian diet and an
nounced he intended to live TO be a
hundred years old. +''s
His sympathies with the United
States during the Boxer trouble led
to- his first recall. 1t was reported
then that he was to be beheaded, but
this government promptly intimated
that such a course would be offensive
to the United States.
T Chang Yin Tang. who succeeds WI
Nng-Fang at Washington. was made
vice president of the Chinese foreign
Board In January of this year In sue
cession to Liang Tun-Yen. For his
services In connection with the Tibe-
tan treaty he was raised to the rank
of an expectant metropolitan officer
OF the fifth grade, and appointed
associate imperial commissioner with
Ia Chuan to investigate matters in
Tibet.

Congressman Mccall OF Massachu-
sets, has this to say of the new
tariff bill:
Massachusetts gains by having
cheaper coal. by the duty on pig-iron
being made $3.50 instead of $500. and
scrap-iron being reduced from 81 to
81. The reductions of the duties on
raw materials will be of great benefit
to Massachusetts. and. speaking gen.
orally, | think II will be found that
the state has been remarkably well
used and that the new bill will be
found advantageous TO her industries.
In 1852 Daniel Webster spoke IN
Boston, the last speech he ever made
in which occurred the following para

out before us, studded and gemmed

tlnent. Massachusetts never struck a

She never drew breath that was not

noted the distinction between mere
politics and statesmanship. One IS

Webster announced the true doc.
trine. A congressman Is to serve the
whole country; state legislator the
state; and councilman. the city. In
these degenerate days, we seem to
have got OF the track, and II legis-
lator has succeeded in getting some
thing for his locality, he prides him
self on having done his whole duty
though 1t may be, and often Is, an act
OF pure selfishness and nothing more.

their nefarious traffic in girls, the
innocent one particularly, right at the

cruiting for disorderly houses is done
during the summer. Now their ef-
forts are largely directed to the ex-
