HOUSE OF COMMONS is NOT
MUCH INTERESTED IN DEBATE
Veto Question Arouses Little Enthusi.
asm and Few Members Are in
Attendance

LONDON, Mar. 30.-Interest greatly
tagged in the debate on the veto res
olutions in the house of commons to-
night and the attendance was small.
Lord Hugh Cecil for the unionsts
made the important admission that
there ought to be stronger check
from the house of lords on conserva-
tive governments and that a proposal
in this direction would demand care
full consideration. He favored house
of lords composed of 400 members, $40
chosen from the hereditary peerage
and the others nominated by the king
on the advice of his ministers.
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary
for Ireland. speaking for the govern
ment said it was not proposed at this
stage to submit any scheme for the
reform of the house of lords. The I'M
popularity of the house of lords, he
added was not the outcome of the
hereditary principle but the country's
conviction that the lords had failed
to exercise their fur ions impartialy.
He declared that th"re could be no
compromise on the financial resoiu-
ton.

People of Walla Walla were given an
opportunity last year of witnessing one
of the Holt caterpillars working in the
harvest field near the state peniten-

handling a monster combined harves-

showing some signs of exertion. Up

The test monials OF Mr.. Nelson rel

machine are the best advertisements
the "caterpillars" could receive, and
many of his neighbors are seriously

Seifert assents to this arrangement

BERLIN, Mar 30.-Emperor William
has invited ex-President Roosevelt to
be his personal guest at the palace for
three Of the five days Colonel Roose-
evlt will spend in Berlin. The ex-presi-
dent will arrive here on the evening of
May Sand will be entertained by
David Jayne Hill, the American am
bassador, until the 18th, when the en-
peror will return to the capital from
the provinces Then Colonel Roose-
welt will go to the palace.
The emperor will throw court pro-
cedure to the winds during Colonel
Roosevelt's stay The masters of
ceremonies and the court chamberlains
are dismayed by the emperor's deter
mination to give a private and nom
official person procedure at the dinners
and elsewhere over everybody, even
the royal princes. The expectation is
that the emperor, who has given much
thought to the entertainment of his
distinguished American guest, is pre-
pairing surprises for the three days in
which he will give up to the ex-presi-
dent the most of rs time.
What do you think Mr.. Roosevelt
would like to see in Berlin?" inquired
the emperor of President Wheeler of
the University of California, a few
days before the exchange professor left
for home.
Men," said Professor Wheeler.
Mr.. Roosevelt would, l think, prefer
above other things, to meet represen-
tative German men,"
Professor Wheeler also thought Mr..
Roosevelt might like to hear some good
music, to see one or two galleries and
to visit Frederick the Greats country
house, "Sans Souci," at Potsdam.
Distinguished Men Likely.
While the emperor did not say dir
ectly he would follow the suggested
outline, it is likely he would have a
company to dine with
Mr.. Roosevelt and will arrange for an
opera in his honor.
