THE extra session Just closed Is re-
j garded in the eyes of the law as
the first session of the Sixty-tirst con-
gress, so unless a court ruling Is made
which reverses the treasury depart
ment the lawmakers will get no mile
age when they come together next De-
cember The senators and congress-
men, however, have not given up hope
of securing their mileage for the
Dingley law session, for they carried
the case to the court of claims. Gen.
Grosvenor, until recently repre-
sentative from Ohio, and one of the
leaders Of the Cannon machine in the
house, Is the attorney in charge of
| the case for the mileage claimants.
The mere fact that most OF the sena-
7, tors and congressman did not return
| to their homes between adjournment
on March and the beginning of the
extra session on March Is does not
lessen their desire to get the mile
age. 1t is SO much velvet" If they
can get it, and the majority of the
/ gentlemen who go to Washington to
serve their country have the reputa-
ton Of getting all they can.
The statesmen get 15 cents mile
| over the longest possible route to
their homes. Some Of the New York
members get more than 500 for q
trip.

Members of Congress Hot After Mileage

AS an evidence of the receptive dis
position on the part of the members
of congress 1t might be mentioned
that the representatives voted them
selves each s1a6 eatra stationery al
loWance" soon after the beginning of
the extra session. A great many
OF them do not spend more than SIS
or $40 year on their stationery.
There are s91 members, four delegates
and three commissioners who may
draw this comfortable little additional
sl25 allowance, making 39S all told.
The sum of this item, therefore, is
$21,45O. Every employe OF the cap
itol working force was granted an
extra months pay, and as the salaries
run all the way from $4,000 year,
experts, to $50 month for messen-
gers, and $3.50 a day for pages, the
sum total is tidy one. The extra
pay of the senate pages amounts to
$4,000 for the extra session. These
youngsters, of whom there are 16.
are given $3.50 a day, reckoning 80
days a month.
The urgent deficiency bill carries a
number of the items due to the extra
session. Among them is one .for
miscellaneous items, exclusive OF la
Dor, $25,000." Who gets 1t is not di-
| vulged in the bill. Another line in
the bill reads: ITO reimburse the OFF,
cial reporters of the proceedings and
debates of the senate for expenses
incurred during the first session Of the
Sixty-tirst congress- for clerk hire and
other clerical services. $3.240." The
official reporters Of debates get $1,000
a year apiece and extra compensation
for additional copies of their tran.
scriptions.

is tyrant. It thinks he grinds down

cannot attack "a millionaire. It dare
not. If it began such an attack this
would at once be silenced by the
power Of money. Such crusade as
has been made here against the
Standard Oil Company would have
been impossible in Europe.

more than any other one thing during
my ten weeks stay in America"
Guglielmo Ferrero was the speaker.
Few foreigners who ever visited
America have had such opportunities
to judge of the conditions of million
airedom here and abroad as he has
had. He has talked in America with
such representative members of their
class as j. Pierpont Morgan, Andrew
Carnegie and jacob H. Schiff, and in
Europe with such men as the Barons
Rothschild of England and France.
With them he has discussed the pow
ers that millions give to man, the
dangers to which his millions expose
him, the duties and the responsible
ties which millions impose upon their
possessors. Upon this subject he has
also obtained the views of the pro
yersities in America and III Europe. of
the leading journalists, statesmen, au-
thors, philosophers and plain. unmil-
lioned business men. Here he has
stretched his long legs under the ma
hogany of millionaires' dinner tables;
he has lectured in universities that
owe their existence to millionaires; he

American Optimism.
This is only another example OF
that youthful optimism, might almost
say that thoughtless optimism, which
is so allpervading in America. Every
one is serenely confident that it will
all come out right; that wherever en-
! perience reveals defects remedies will
| be found; that the future is amply
able to take care of itself. 1t is very
beautiful, but!-to a European who
has been called pessimist and a
cynic it seems too beautiful to be
practical.
There is one thing which l envy
/ you and this is the absence of ran
! cour and hatred in your political, So
cial business and religious disputes.
In Europe when we are opponents we
hate each other; in America political
or religious enemies can be personal
| friends. Our rivalries are SO old, so
| deep seated often the results of blood
shed: our vendettas are fierce, i'm

MINERS FEAR DANGER

AND OGoIM WORK AGAIN
VERY SOON.

Denver.-A Trinidad special to the
News Sunday night says: The fire in
the Hastings mine Of the Victor Fuel
Company il still raging unchecked.
Several small explosions occurred dur
ing the day and 1t is now feared that
the blaze has spread to remote drifts
in the big mine. At intervals during
the day miners were carried to the
surface in an unconscious condition.
having been overcome by smoke and
gases.
The company surgeons were kept
busy caring for the exhausted men
who had gone down to try and locate
pany officials that the situation is ex-
tremely serious. Nearly all of the
fire and pit bosses have quit their po-
sitions rather than enter the mine.
The blaze Is believed to be located
nearly a mile from the entrance, and
there is NO means of getting behind
the fire until crOsscut nas been driv-
en- across the burning drift This will
enable the miners to bulkhead the en-
try from the rear. after which it is
believed that the fire can be smoth-
cred by fire shifts working into the
mine. Much difficulty is being expert
encel in getting the men to enter the
mine.
Frequently small explosion spreads
terror among the foreign miners. who
realize that a terrific blast may oc-
cur at any moment. Yesterday num-
ber of miners were brought to Has
tings from Bowen. They entered the
mine. but refused to go back after the
first shift.
Upon Frank McDermott. the super
intendent Of the mine. the hopes of
the company are now resting. McDer-
mott, who was badly burned by the ex-
plosion that started the nre, alone
and is relied upon to lead the men to
the sc at of the conflagration. Although
badly injured. he was able today to di-
rect the work OF starting the crosscut,
which 1t Is hoped will intersect the
burning drift behind the blaze and en-
able measures to be taken to keep the
fire from spreading farther into the
workings
AS soon as this work is completed
the drift will be bulkheaded and
sealed and the dangerous work OF
working the fire back will be started.
McDermott tomorrow expects to lead a
shift of twenty volunteers in the real
attack on the blaze. Two shifts will
be kept at the entrance of the mine,
ready for immediate duty in relief
work.
At the offices of the Victor Fuel
Company at Hastings tonight it was
maintained that the fire is now under
control and that the resumption of op-
eratiOns is but matter of a few
hours. General Manager w. H. MUIR
ray OF Denver Is on the ground and
in personal charge of operations. The
company was about ready to begin
taking coal out Of the second level
when the fire broke out, but the dis
aster has blocked this work.

Morality
and Art
Ideals In
REGARD to the
Two Differ
~ esOF. uusay ssp0wscx.

Morality and art sometimes appear As the pro-
verbal ''two of trade" that cannot agree; and in
speaking of art l mean only work worthy of the
name, and do not include the misuse of techn
cal gifts for the qualification of base appetites.
Both art and morality have an ideal, and the
aim in both cases is to apprehend and exhibit the
ideal in reality that does not conform to express
it adequately. But the ideals not the same, and
it is just where they most nearly coincide, in dealing
with human life and character, that conflict
is apt to arise.
Morality aims at eradcatng and aboishing
evil, especially moral evil Whereas the esthetc con-
temptation of life recognizes is element neces-
sary to vivid and full interest
The opposition attains its sharpest edge in mod
ern realistic art and literature. But it is BY no
