WARRIORS GATHER

BY United Press Leased Special V7iro.
WASHINGTON, March 19-rho sun
shining brightly over the battle camps
of Capitol Hin this morning revealed
flags Of truce huttering above the
tents Of Allies and Regulars
The exhausted warriors. who fought
throughout Thursday and Friday for
and against "Cannonism," were sleep
ing on their arms.
While the common soldiers slurnber-
ed. however. the generals. tho captains
and the lieutenants were very much
awake. for under tho protection OF the
white flag the opposing leaders were
attempting 70 frame up a treaty Of
peace.
The holted doors Of the room in which
the pow WOW was held gave forth low
rumblings as from the sonorous thr0ats
of Payne and Dwight Of the Cannon
forces. OF Clark and Underwood offthe
Democrats and of Norris and Madison
OF the insurgents. Some times sharper
higher notes were hoard as from The
tongues Of Daizell. the "Cannonite," or
OF Murdoch. the "Norrisite." The
| leaders went into the conferences at 3
a. M.
Uncle Joe's" presence on the pro-
| posed new and enlarged committee on
rules appeared TO be the principal OBJ
stacle in the way of compromise. Tho
regulars were quite willing yesterday
20 agree to the onlargementof the COM
mittee from three 60 ton as proposed
by the Allies, but they insister that
the Speaker should be chairman OF that
committee. as no is now chairman OF
tho old.
The insurgents and the Democrats
on the other hand declared that the
Speaker should not only relinquish the
chairmanship of the committee but he
should erace himself from the COM
mlttee altogether.
This humiliation Of their leader was
too much for the Cannonites 20 svral-
low and they declared to-day before
the conference. as sturdily as they had
last night, that before they would al
| low such an indignity 20 be heaped on
! tho Speaker they would go down with
him TO defeat
The utmost concession they would
/ aerroc to mako was that ''Uncie joe
/ should be given a strong hint after
! beina elected to the chairmanship or
the committee that tho membership
! would accept his resignation from the
nosition IL he cares to hand IL IN, and
/ that he was 20 be allowed either TO
/ stick or leave as he chose. He'd stick
as sure as shooting" declared the AL
lies. $50 we won't agree TO the plan.
! A resolution by Representative Martin
Republican. S. ID regular, providing for
the ptoposed committee OF ton was made
the basis Of to-days negotiations after II
had been decided last night that some of
its provisions were acceptable all around.
AS prepared by Martin it was silent on the
question OF the Speakers membership in
the committee on rules, merely providing
that tho committee should select its own
chairman. To-day Martin carried into the
conferences a new section providing:
.srhat after March Q. 1911, (the expira-
ton of Cannon's present term as speal<er)
the Speaker shall not bo eligible TO men-
bership on the committee on rules

crosses which this congress cannot con-

colodion, parafin, ETC., be applied with view
to strengthening the parchment or making it
moisture proof But the committee did urge
that the document be kept in the dark and
as dry as possible, and never placed on exhl-
bition Accordingly, in 1894, it was hermet-
ically sealed in frame and placed in the steel
case above mentioned, together with the
original copy Of the constitution of the United
States Then, in 1902, Secretary Hay issued
the order in accordance with which the huge
SQUARE steel box that holds the Declaration
was locked and sealed. 1t has been opened
once since that time in order that the Off
Gals might ascertain the condition of the doc
ument. 1t appeared to be in exactly the same
state of preservation as when placed in the
case half dozen years ago and indeed Mr..
John A. Tonner, chief Of the division of rolls
and library of the state department, the pres
ent custodian of the Declaration, Is OF the opln-
ion that the deterioration or at least the fading
of the Declaration has been almost completely
arrested.
The interior of the steel safe which COM
prises the final resting place of the Declara-
ton contains four drawers In one of these
reposes the Declaration-kept perfectly fiat be-
tween two pieces of heavy plate glass. The
other four drawers are given over to the orig
inal copy of the constitution, similarly protect
ed The constitution, it may be added, is in
an excellent state of preservation and really
does not need the extreme protective meas
ures to which it is subjected because of being
in company with the Declaration.
Present-day visitors to the state department,
although they may not see the original Dec
laration of Independence, can inspect some
thing almost as overwhelmingly, the orig
inal draft of the Declaration in Jeffersons
handwriting with few interlineations made
by Franklin and Adams. This is displayed in
a steel cabinet that stands adjacent to the
safe containing the original Declaration. The
steel exhibition cabinet also holds one OF the
fac-similes of the engrossed copy of the Dec
laration-one of those reproductions made by
order of President Monroe in order to secure
200 copies for the signers of the Declaration
and their heirs.
In glass case in this same treasure house
Of historic mementoes is the small, plain, I'M
polished mahogany desk on which Jefferson
wrote the Declaration of Independence. This
interesting relic came into possession OF the
government in 1880. The desk had been given
by Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Coolidge, Jr,
upon the occasion of the latter's marriage to
Jeffersons granddaughter, Miss Randolph. On
the death of Mr.. Coolidge, whose wife had
died year or two previously, the desk became
the property of their four children and was by

NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Young Man Unnecessarily Alarmed
Over Question Put to Him by
Old Gentleman.

A quiet, bashful sort of young fell
low was making call on Capitol
hill girl one evening not so very long
ago, when her father came into the
parlor with his watch in his hand. 1t
was about half past nine o'clock. AT
the moment the young man was stand
ing on a chair, Strengthening pic
ture over the piano. The girl had
asked him to fix it. AS he turned the
old gentleman, a gruff, stout fellow,
said:
Young man, do you know what
time it is?"
The bashful youth got off the chair
nervously. Eyes, SIR he replied. Il
was just going"
He went into the hall without any
delay and took his hat and coat. The
girls father followed him. AS the
caller reached for the doorknob the
old gentleman again asked him If he
knew what time it was.
Yes, sir" was the youths reply
"Good-night!" And he left without
waiting to put his coat on.
After the door had closed the old
gentleman turned to the girl.
whats the matter with that fel'

tell me the time so that could set 1t.

ments were not important. The reasons as.
signed by Mr.. Adams for the selection of Mr..
Jefferson as the writer of the Declaration
are numerous thatsit is difficult to deter
mine which of them he intended should be re-
garded as the principal or decisive one. In
the autobiography he states that there were
more reasons than one why Mr.. Jefferson was
appointed on committee of such Importance
He assigns two reasons: one, Mr.. Jefferson's
reputation as writer and the other the de-
sire of his Virginia colleagues to have Mr..
jefferson supplant Mr. Richard Henry Lee
In letter to Mr.. Pickering Mr. Adams gives
as the reason why Mr.. Jefferson was placed
at the head of the committee that it was "the
Frankfort advice to place Virginia at the head
of everything;" but ne also adds that Mr.. JEFF
ferson brought with him to congress "a repu
tation for literature, science and a happy tai
emf of composition" and that this reputation
had been sustained by writings remarkable
for their peculiar felicity of expressions" AS
in the case of Washington, therefore, it would
seem that there were reasons of eminent fit
ness and qualification for the duty assigned;
and certainly the Declaration of independence
itself fully justifes the selection. Few state
papers have ever been written with more
SKILL or greater adaptation to the purposes in
view. Whether it's sentiments were purely
original with its author, or were gathered from
the political philosophy which had become
familiar to the American mind, through the
great discussions Of the time, it must forever
remain an imperishable monument Of his
power of expression and hts ability to touch
the passions, as we'll as to address the reason
of mankind.
With regard to the passage concerning
slavery, which was stricken out of Jefferson's
draft, we may we'll conceive that both north
ern and southern men might have felt the in
justice of the terrible denunciation with which
he charged upon the king all the horrors.
crimes and consequences Of the African slave
trade, and in which he accused him of excl
ting the slaves to insurrection, and ito pur.
chase the liberty Of which he had deprived
them by numbering the people upon whom he
had obtruded them" Mr.. JefferCon in draw
ing up the list of our national accusations
against the king, obviously intended to refer
to him as the representative of the public pol
icy and acts Of the mother country; and it is
true that the imperial government was, and
must always remain, responsible for the ex
istence Of slavery in the colonies. But this
was not one of the grievances to be redressed
by the Revolution, it did not constitute one
of the reasons for aiming at independence, and
there was not sufficient ground for the accu
sation that the government of Great Britain
had knowingly sought to excite general insur
rections among the slaves.
