Statesmen OF every political shade and
party are pondering over the second an
nuaI message Of President Taft. which
was read yesterday in both Houses OF
Congress. While all agree II is an able.
exposition of governmental needs and
problems. conflicting views are held by
Senators and Representative on the
treating of various subjects.
In both Houses the usual scenes at
tendant upon the reading of a Presiden-
tiaI message were portrayed as the clerks
waded through the 5000 words. Mem
bers preferred 10 read and digest their
own copies al leisure, and many left
the chambers while the official reading
was in progress. The mention >of the
tariff and other subjects 10 which the
parties lay blame for the landslide of
November s could not rouse either House
to a semblance OF universal interest
Message Appeals Strongly.
To those who crowded the galleries in,
the Senate and House-at least TO thosei
who could hear the clerk-the message
appealed strongly. Every available seat
was taken. and some OF the visitors
could not understand why the members
of Congress did not show the same in
terest in the document as the galleries.
Mrs. Taft was among those who heard
the message read. She sat through the
entire reading, and seemed TO take an
active interest in the scenes on the
House floor.
In addition 70 the reading Of the mes
sage. both Houses transacted consider

Chaplain Couden was a bit late in
reaching the House, and il was some
minutes after noon when Uncle Joe's"
gavel came down with the bang that set
the body in order. An exchange or cour-
tesies between Speaker Cannon and his
prospective successor occurred when

pies in front of Uncle joe" just before
the session began.
They're from my farm" said Champ
Clark.
Fine. fine" said the Speaker 'Tu eat
them for lunch" and the House ap-
plaGded.
The message itself brought out promi-
lnently the fact that President Taft wants

Imental affairs, and 10 that end the mes
sage was directly a business one. The

PROVINCE LOSES POPULATION.
Spanish Cabinet Seeks 20 Remedy
Difficulties I'm Aadalusia.

Madrid Dec. Gin the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day senor Harcia Lomas
asked that the government take measures
to protect Spanish emigrants disembark-
ing at American ports.
Prime Minister Canaleias replied that
he would look into the matter next week.
and If any cause of complaint existed he
would seek TO remove IL.
The miDisters' are actively occupied in
studying means to prevent the alarming
depopulation Of Andalusia through emf
grafton TO Goreign countries. The de-
parture of many of these immigrants
have been marked by scenes of great
misery. The governors throughout Anda-
lusia are urged to take energetic meas
ures. They attribute the excessive emf
grafton to the strikes, which are increas-
ing in gravity, throwing many workmen
out OF employment and compelling them
to seek foreign markets for their labor.

INSULT TO JAPAN.
Calling Of of Ball Resented by Vis-
iting Admiral.

Pasadena, Cal. Dec. 6.-Much un-
pleasant feeling has been caused as a
result OF the invitation extended by the
hotel Maryland manager 10 ball
which he proposed to give in honor
of the officers of the japanese squad
ron now at Los Angles.
1t came to the managers ears that
the society girls living in the hotel, as
well as those in Pasadena. declared
that they would not dance with Jap
anese officers. he made a canvass and
found that sentiment against the ORR
entail officers was practically unani-
nous, so the only thing he could do
was 70 call off the ball.
The Japanese admiral regarded this
canceling OF the hall as a direct insult
to his nation, and he also cancelled
invitations TO a return dance on his
ship. and to-day refused permission
to the Long Beach school children 10
visit his ship.

Wholesalers Make Reduction in New
York Under Pressure.

New York. Dec. s.-By refusing TO pay
20 cents pound. housewives Of New
York City have forced a 5-cent reduc-
tion in the wholesale price # butter
The reduction went into effect to-day
So fearful are the wholesalers that the
grocer will insist on his high price that
they want the fullest publicity.
'vrhe only reason for the reduction,
said commission merchant, ''is that
thousands OF people are using substitutes
rather than pay IS and 20 cents a pound
for butter About six weeks ago the
wholesale price OF butter went up to S8h
cents, but only for four days Since then
the grocers have been insisting on getting

WARBLY sTEED FOR SEA TILT.

RumOr has often told us Of sea horses,
but with amused incredulity We have al
ways waved the tales aside. Faith is
however, no longer called upon. for in the
waters of Huntington Bay, on the north
short of Long Island, actual sea horses
are daily capering in highly spectacular
water sports, even in a quaint revival Of
the ancient tournament. The strange
beasts have been brought 10 US from
France and are ingeniously composed OF a
barrel weighted on the side which is
under water, and decorated with an ex-
pressive head and an aggressive tail. As
soon as one mounts upon the rotund back
of one of these beasts il shows its temper,
for. although tame and mild enough when
grazing among the waves by themselves,
they are fends incaTnate as soon as one
attempts TO throw a leg over them. They
kick and buck IN a manner which would
appau a Buffalo Bill himself
One Of the daily features Of the beach at
