STORY OF THE HOUSES DAY
OF SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION

Of the occupants OF the galleries.
But not half of those who occupied the
galleries took part In this enthusiastic
demonstration with which the Speaker
was greeted. A large part of the people
there sat quietly. They were to q large
extent members Of the families of MEM
bers who hoped to see the Speaker re-
buked.
The democrats, too, looked on quietly
as the storm of applause passed on. The
Speaker himself wore an air Of deep con-
cern as he gazed sweepingly about the
chamber. He gave no expression Of ap-
probation or otherwise, but brought down
with a loud bang the ivory gavel of au-
thority.
Upon the announcement that the chap
lain would offer prayer. the Rev. Mr..

It is stated that according to the
constitution Of the order the original
colonial states and the District of
Columbia can send five delegates, while
the twenty-five non-colonial states in
the organization. can send only one
each. Further than that only the
women from the colonial states can
vote on constitutional questions, and q
member from a southern state has pre-
pared resolution to prevent the con-
stitution from being changed.
The insurgents have hoisted the flag
of mo taxation without representation

uon In the convention.

American and British Flags En-
twined at New York Capital.
BIG OFFICIALS COME OVER
Minister of Finance to Attend Con-
ference Arranged Between Presi-
dent and the Governor General.

ALBANY. n. Y. March 19.-News that
President Taft had asked three prominent
officers Of the Canadian government to
meet him today to discuss the tariff trou-
bles between their country and the United
States caused hasty rearrangement Of
plans by entertainment committees today
and much scurrying back and forth before
the city's distinguished guests arrived. If
the Canadians reach Albany in time for
tonights dinner of the University Club
places will be made for them. and they
will be asked to attend the informal
luncheon that Gov. Hughes will give for
the President and the Governor General
of Canada tomorrow.
To welcome the chiefs of two countries
the city broke out today into bunting,
and mingled the cOlors of Great Britain
with the Stars and Stripes. The streets
over which the President was to pass on
his. route from the railroad station to the
governors residence were lined with spec
tators some time before his arrival.
President Taft's arrival was expected
at $50 pm. He was to go directly to the
executive mansion, where he will stay un-
til 4;3O. when he and the governor are to
address the state tuberculosis conference
in session at HarmanuS Bleecker Hall.
After that they had planned to make
quick dash in automobiles to Watervliet
to inspect the federal arsenal there.
Question of Etiquette.
The President, the governor and Earl
Grey all will speak tonight at the Uni
versity Club dinner, but the Canadian
party will not meet the President and
Gov. Hughes until they greet each other
there. The question of etiquette today
worried the governors staff and the local
entertainment committee not a little.
Under ordinary circumstances 1t would
have been the proper thing for Gov
Hughes to meet the Canadian governor
general at the station in person, but after
much discussion and consultation of au-
thorities 1t was decided that. the govern
ors place was at the side of the Presi-
dent.

Good Feeling at Negotiations,
But Still Far Apart.
HOPE IN DESIRE FOR PEACE
Three Cars Dynamited in Various
Parts of Philadelphia.
FEW MEN GO BACK TO WORK
Desertions of Sympathizers Not Nu-
merous-State-Wide Strike Still
Talked Of by Greenwalt.

PHILADELPHIA. March 19.-After a
week of peace talk and innumera BILE
conferences between union leaders and
peacemakers the striking motormen
and conductors and the officials of the
Philadelphia Rapid. Transit Company
are still apparently far apart
There is, however. a better feeling on
both sides. This. coupled with desire
to bring the strike to an early end, may
lead at any time to the opening of ne
EotiattoAs.
All peace conferences held have been
between representatives Of the strikers
and persons interested in ending the
trouble. The rapid transit company has
not been directly represented in any
meeting. but has been kept Informed of
the progress OF events.
Peace Meetings to Go On.
The informal peace meetings will con-
tinue until common ground can be
found on which to bring both sides face
to face.
There have been few desertions from
the ranks of the trolleymen, but there
Is a slow movement toward a return to
work on the part of the general strik-
ers. The return is not general. but
each day finds a few more men return
ing. so that today there is not near the
great number Of men idle as there was
during the. first few days of the SYM
pathetic strike.
President Greenwalt Of the state fedora
ton Of labor, is still determined to- put the
statewide strike into effect Monday.
He said today he hoped this will not be
necessary, but at present he. sees no
way IN which to delay the instructions
of the recent state convention of the
federation.
Three Cars DynamIted.
The dynamiting Of three cars in differ
ent parts OF the. city last night are the
first serious acts of violence reported in
nearly week. The police are making a
rigid investigation of the affairs
Following the attempts to blow up
the cars it has been learned that 100
sticks Of dynamite were stolen from a
quarry on the outskirts of the city Thurs
day night. The police have been instructed
to watch all persons who carry packages
Of suspicious appearance.

The effect Of the agreement is that the
United States gives it's entire minimum
rates to France, and, in return, France
grants to the United States practically
it's entire minimum rate on articles In
which the United States exporters are
interested, and, in addition, grants GER
tain compensatory concessions Of value.
Among these is the modification Of the

of pork meat from the United States
which will be put on the same basis as
that from other countries.
In the case of Germany the United

Liquor Dealers Declaration.

The unabridged communication OF Mr.
Harvey follows:
washington. d. c., March 19, 1910
TO the Editor of The Star
"The Washington Mercantile Associa-
tion. representing the entire organized
LIQUOR trade-namely, the brewers, job
bers, wholesalers bottlers. hotel men and
retailers-has taken notice of the alleged
violation of the law governing the sale
Of liquor to minors.
The organized liquor trade or Washing
ton stands for the absolute enforcement
Of the law If this or any other part OF
the liquor law is violated the organization
will Join in a demand that the violations
and practice be stopped.
THE association Is now making an IN
yestigation of the alleged violations of
the law. II sufficient evidence is forth
coming that the law is violated the as
sociation, on its own motion, Will join IN
a demand on the excise board to revoke
The licenses of the violators.
The organized liquor trade OF wash
ington wishes TO be recorded as empha-
sizing in the strongest manner possible
its desire to eliminate from the roster OF
liquor dealers the name OF any man VINO
permits young girls or boys TO frequent
his establishment in violation of law. Any
licensed dealer guilty of these alleged vio-
lations of the law has no place In the
ranks of the liquor association composed
Of men banded together for the moral
uplift OF the business.
The report of the excise board. recently
submitted TO Congress, shows but four
convictions of licensed liquor dealers dur
Ing the past year This, we submit, shows
q general observance of the law.
II the charges made by The Star are
true we think, in view of this excellent
Official record. that only those guilty of
the alleged miserable practice of catering
10 young girls and boys should be con-
demned, while those who are blameless,
and conducting the liquor business strict
" within the law and with conscien-
tious regard for the rights of their fell
low-man should not have to suffer for
the alleged wrongdoing of others.
We desire to state that we regard the
present liquor law. properly enforced, SUI
ficiently strong to safeguard the interests
Of the community.
Further We would demand. If we had
our way, that the excise board grant IL
censes TO sell liquor only to those who
had been found. after careful investiga-
ton. to be men with due regard for the
decency OF the community and high re-
spect for home and family.
