LOR|MER'S FRIENDS ANXIOUS ID VOTE Threaten to Meet Filibuster
 With Filibuster VOTE IS ATTEMPTED Resolution Laid Aside-Bailey Gives Notice He Will Filibuster Against
 All Bills Until Lorimer
 Vote Is Taken
VOTE IS ATTEMPTED

Washington, February 25.-So anxious mer for a vote to be taken on his case in the Senate that late today Senator Bai- ley threatened to meet any filibuster that might be made against such vote with another filibuster of his own against ap- propriations bills fIe wanted an agree ment reached upon a date for vote, saying that unless the Senate should agree he would insist upon vote. even if every appropriation bill should fail
 The Texas senator's statement was made in connection with a general dis cussion growing out of Senator Burrows effort to prevail upon the Senate to pro- ceed with the consideration of the Lori mer matter. It was after s:3O o'clock when Senator Mccumber concluded his address on reciprocity and an hour and a half remained before euloges on the late Representatives Lowering and Terrell could be proceeded with.
 The Lorimer resolution was laid before the Senate, but no one was prepared to speak on it. Senators Stone, Crawford and Owen, al lof whom desire to be heard. pleaded for a postponement. MT. Burrows insisted that there must be either vote or a speech.
 No one responding, the Vice President proceeded to declare vote.
 Attempt Vote
 The ayes had been sounded and the noes called for when there were signs of much disturbance on the part of the numerous senator's
 MT. Crawford shouted:
 q object''
 When reminded that ar objection could not prevent a vote, he announced that he was ready to proceed with speech, not withstanding he was i'll. He said that he did not want to be whipped into scrv- ice"
 Senator Stone moved to adjourn. but the motion was voted down.
 Yielding to the pleadings of the unpre- pared speakers MT. Burrows moved to lay the resolution aside. MT. Bailey was not pleased with the suggestion. Declar- ing as there could not be before the Sen
 
 that involving the seat of a senator he said Congress should settle the matter before final adjournment. He said there was an evident purpose to flibuster against one, though he did not believe there was any purpose to prevent vote.
 But" he added, unless we can have some agreement to vote, am going to insist on vote if every appropria- ton bill fails. This matter is of great CT importance than the appropriations
 Proceeding, he said, earnestly:
 'I am not so sure that an extra ses- sion of Congress would be a public calamity"
 Evidently referring to the November elections and to the prospect of tariff legislation he asserted the people of the country had ordered Congress to do certain things" and if necessary to do these things, he would not object to coming back to Washington.
 After further exchange of remarks MT. Burrows decided not to press MT. Crawford to proceed and the question went over.

WEEKLY THEATRICAL LETTER
BY GRANT THURsToy

to say, leases it's property only. It is virtually impossible to induce them to sell their holdings. The Shuberts will put up theatre on the land.
 Eva Tanguay has won the diamond badge which Percy G. Williams recent ly announced would be given to the vaudeville artist who attracted the most money to his Colonial theatre in one week. Her rivals were Genee. Nat Goodwin and Valecka Surratt.
 It was suggested that as Genee did not appear on Sunday Tanguay could only win by surpassing the Genee re- ceipts for the first six days of the week.
 This was related to Miss Tanguay, who said:
 MT. Williams made the contest, so that I have nothing to say about the conditions. But now that the end is near I shall state the only conditions on which I will accept it.
 Firstly, unless the Colonial has at- tracted more people and more money by tonight (this was Saturday, than Miss Genee did in six days I will de- cline the presentation.
 Secondly, if after such a possible re- suit shall have happened the seven days of this week shall have failed to attract receipts greater than during any one of the proceeding three weeks will decline the medal"
 Speaking of matrimony and divorce of which he knows something's, Nat c. Goodwin said recently:
 The fact that I have regarded the marriage ceremony as indispensable shows that I have always the right thing. In every case 1t was not I who went to the divorce courts-remember that.
 But 1t Is this subject that I am treating in a most exhaustive manner in my book" he continued, and l think I will advance philosophy that will have many followers, at least among men and women. I treat my subject in a dignified manner.
 "The conclusions I have reached are taken from my experiences, and I have recounted many incidents and adven- lures that have made me an authority to speak a I do.
 ''Matrimony with me is not a habit as some people think-it's an inspira- tion, a feeling of fervor that leads me to do the thing that I believe is right and will result in the most permanent happiness"
 "The Gamblers Is now In the fifth month of its great run. There has been no abatement in the demand for seats, and the engagement of this in teresting drama dealing with reckless banking methods as employed by get rich-quick financiers will undoubtedly continue throughout the entire season at Maxine Elliott's theatre.

LONDON SOCIETY LETTER
By LADY MARY MANwARING

did the 1s-year-old Victoria when she ascended the throne.
 The girl Queen took distinct line ot her own and asserted her will in re- markable manner. Open as daylight her self, she expected honesty as well as difference, and, to the astonishment of London, she succeeded in winning both. her first mistress of the robes. sailed into the corridor at Windsor one night twen- ty minutes late for dinner
 Girlish Victoria told the duchess she hoped 1t would not happen again, for. although she herself did not mind in the least, 1t was very unpieasant to keep her guests waiting. The duchess stood petrif1ed.
 For some time afterward she cherished could chide so sharply. Yet she eventual ly became devoted to the Queen, and few loved her more deeply.
 Other anecdotes come down to us from the gossip of those far-off days. Lady Tavistock wrote to her daughter of the first time she took her wait" as one of the Queens ladies at Windsor
 Her majesty went for drive in the great park. followed by her court. Be- ing cold, she got out to walk, and of course, her ladies had to do the same. The ground was wet and poor Lady Tavistock, being thinly clad, got her shoes soaked through.
 When she reached the castle she could get no dry things, as her maid was out and had locked all her wardrobes. Sore throat and cough followed. The Queen inquired the cause and on hearing of the wet shoes merely remarked that 1t was exceedingly silly to wear such thin things in England in winter
 But for real grievances the young sov- ereign had real sympathy, as countless stories prove. and many time had she helped some court ladyN by her timely advice or consideration. She had a rapid comprehension also, and a quick eye for the true state of affairs
