STORM The HOUSE
Suffragettes l 900 StrOngMarch
on Parliament Bull dings.
Find 1t Impossible to Penetrate
Gordon of Police.
RUSH AFTER RUSH.
Is Repelled and 50 of Them Are
Arrested.
American Blue Jackets Cheer
Them to Renewed Efforts,

London, Nov. 1s.-The militant suf-
fra agettes reopened hostility against the
government again today and marching
LOCO strong on the parliament buildings
gave the police lively fight. The wo-
men, many of whom were placed under
arrest were led by Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst. The suffragettes had de-
termined if possible to force the police
Gordon about the house of commons
and, reaching Premier Asquith, to in
sist on the introduction of a woman's
suffrage bill, the police, however, were
too strongly entrenched and the women
who tried every means in their power
to force the line were thrown back.
Repeatedly they retired breathless and
disheVeled only to have their places on
the fighting line taken by reserves.
The police were ordered to make as
few arrests as possible but by o'clock
81 women and two men were in police
cells. A large contingent of American
bluejackets from the visiting fleet were
amused spectators of the struggle and
Justify cheering the combatants, Incl
ted them to fresh efforts.
The fight continued and the police
were compelled to make wholesale ar
rests. At 4 o'clock 80 of the suffra-
gettes and their supporters had been
taken into custody.
During the battle a constable was
badly gashed across the hands, appar-
emily by a knife. Among the suf-
fragettes arrested was Annie Martin uf
Nevada.
After a prolonged struggle the police
cleared parliament square and three of
the leaders of the demonstration headed
by Mrs. Pankhurst. were allowed to en-
ter the lobby of the chamber, where
they were informed by Mr.. Asquith's
secretary that the premier refused to
see them and that there was no chance
for a suffrage bill to be presented at
the I1reaSerlf session

BODY IN A TRUNK
Found in the Cellar of New York
Apartment House.
Sealed Hermetically More Than
Five Years Ago.
PROVES TO BE A MAN.

to Return for 1t.

"W. Lewis
PROVES TO BE A MAN.

New York, Nov. 18.-Pending an in
quest planned for today on a body
which was found in a hermetically
sealed trunk in the cellar of a West
the authorities were not inclined to
theorize on who the victim of the mys-
terious murder might be.
Even the sex of the victim was not
known, the five years or more during
which the body is known to have re-
posed in it's hiding place having re-
duced it almost to a skeleton. From
outward indications, however, the au-
thorities are of the belief that the body
is that of a woman, the smallness of
the bones chiefly leading them to that
conclusion. Early today the body
discovered by Phillip Meagher when
he was preparing to move yesterday,
after eight years residence in the
house, and opened the neglected trunk
was taken to the morgue. 1t was
found that the body had been jammed
in the trunk and surrounded with
quantities of plaster of paris and
paper.
The only clue is the name of ''W.
Lewis" which appears on the outside
of the trunk. Lewis was a boarder in
the Meagher family up to about six
years ago. He told Meagher on going
away that he would leave the trunk
and call for it at some time. A zinc
tank inside the trunk fits perfectly.
The newspapers were dated from Feb
ruary IS, to April 10, 1902.
At the morgue Coroner's Physician
Lehange, with Prof. John McAllister,
of Bellevue, made an examination of
the body and found it to be that of
man. The surgeons declare that the
victim was placed in the trunk while
still alice and death resulted from as
phyxiation. The condition of por-
ton of the right lung which still re-
mained indicated this.

CONCEAL SPIRIT or TRIUMPH
Japanese Not valnslorIous Because Of
Their Great Victory over
Mighty Russia.

One Of the most frequent charges
brought against Japan since the
close Of it's successful war has been
that OF the "cockiness" impaired to
it's disposition by the consciousness
Of its great triumph. Aside from
the fact hat the reports of such a
tendency have emanated mainly
from tourists, who have come into
contact only with the demoralized
coolies of the treaty ports, the sole
habitat Of the genus hoodlum, there
exists, as is well known to every old
resident here, a salient and pervad-
ing characteristic of japanese ma
ture, the direct result Of age-long in
huences, which negatives even the
possibility of fixing such a charge
upon the nation. 1t is wholly natu-
raj for the average westerner TO in
dulge in the spirit of vainglory over
the successes of his nation in the
field of war, whereas the entire train
ing of the japanese mind has for
centuries been in the direction of
self-depreciation. So ingrained has
that habit gecome that to commend
ones self or aught which II has
done is the grossest violation Of the
social code. The very structure of
the language itself is a rebuke to the
spirit Of vainglory, with the result
that in all conversation the idea of
merit being involved in ones person
atty Or in ones deeds is kept COM
pietely in the background.-Atlantic
Monthly.

THE EMPIRE, N x

One of the great banks of the old
world is the State Bank of Russia.
but this institution differs very
greatly from the banks of England.

REFERRED TO THE TREASURER
Neat Reply Of British Labor Leader
That Got Him Out Of Rather
Tight Situation.

He who goes into politics must re-
member what he is recorded to have
said, for it is the habit of the sharp
noscd public to search out past ut
terances and hold the candidate re-
sponsible for them. John Burns,
says Mr.. Grub. in his life of that
labor leader, once made the slip Of
r%emarking that no man was worth
more than $500 a year. Accord
ingly. when he became a cabinet
member with a salary of $4,000. he
was obviously open to attack.
When he first met his constituents
at Battcrsea after he was made presi-
dent of the local government board,
q candid friend recalled the state
ment about a mans worth by call
ing out in the middle of his speech /:
"Wot abaht that ere salary of
s2, O0O?"
Mr.. Burns was equal to the occa-
sion.
"That is the recognized trade
union rate for the job" was his apt
reply. eff | took less l would be a
blackleg."
"Wot yer goin' ter do with the ff-
teen hundred pounds over?" pur-
sued the inquisitjve questioner.
"For Details" answered Mr..
Burns, "apply to my treasurer, Mrs.
Burns."-Youth's Companion.

"PICKED UP" THE LANGUAGE
Novel Manner In Which New York
Manufacturer Learned to Speak
italian.

There are many ways of acquiring
a foreign language, but an unusual
method in which a reading and
speaking knowledge of italian was
obtained in ten months was X
planned in a downtown importing
house, says the New York Tribune.
The president of the company ex-
pressed a desire to learn the Italian
tongue, but he said he had little
time to give up to study. The house
had dealings with firms in Italy and
as it proposed to increase its Italian
trade the president was anxious to
learn the language. He spurned
studying from books and declined to
give up any of his time in the office
or at home. Finally he hired one Of
the best italian instructors in New
York to accompany him in his auto
mobile going to the Office in the
morning and returning to his home
at night. Two hours of instruction
each day going to and from the Of
fec amounted to about 81 lessons a
month and in ten months the sboss"
had studied $40 hours and learned
Italian.

A GLANCE BACKWARD.

In the time of Henry VIII. board
and lodging for servants, laborers
who lived with their employers, etc.,
were valued at four cents a day. This
was allowed to those who elected to
live under their own roofs and feed
themselves. The earl of Northum-
berland allowed five cents a day.

THE POOP HEN PHEASANT.

M. Rostand, the author Of the new
play, Chanticler, that has excited SO
much attention because its characters
are all birds, says that the hen pleas
ant Of Chanticler represents the
modern woman, emancipated, indie
pendent, domineering, jealous of
mans work. She claims to subject
the male to her affection and only
submits in the end when she is mas
tered, perhaps with the secret hope
Of having her revenge.

MUSIC OF THE STONE AGE.

Sausic Of the stone age by means of
"marrowbones struck with fiints, the
hollow bone giving out a curiously
