legislation was enacted in form sat
.sfactory to its most earnest adyo-
Gates; provision was made for an en-
larged house OF representatives.. based

measures of minor importance were
passed.
A Democratic house. the first S nee
1895, seized on this session as We
h.cle to convey to the country the
views of Democrats on tariff revision.
but executive disapproval rendered
futile all efforts to impress those
views on the statute books.

ducing the duties on wool and wooden
goods of all classes and the other
placing on the free list articles OF
machinery and tools used by farm
ers and amended to include many

The cabinet had been working night

ultimate success of their efforts ap-
pears to rest upon the shoulders of
David Lloyd George. who, in his
statements to parliament and in an
interview with the managers and the
men, worked for Cancellation when all
others of the interested parties SEEM

So far as technical advantage in
the compromise goes, it appears to be
in the mems favor, particularly as
the managers consent to meet their
representatives.

tired. medical director Of the Hot

found IN the bath houses when he
went there as medica, inspector and
saws that total reconstruction in
several Of the buildings and extern

dence Of Tang Shao vi, the repre-
sentative of Premier Yuan Shi
kai. The German consul. as dean
of the consular corps, was the first
spokesman. He begged permission
on behalf Of his government to read
an unofficial communication. Hav-
ing received permission, he read the
note. Consul General Amos P. Will
der, on behalf of the United States,
came next and read note from the
American government in precisely
the same terms, and the other con-
suls followed in order of precedence.
Tang Shao vi replied in a few
courteous words, expressing graf
itude on behalf of the imperial Chi
nose government at the interest
taken in the situation by the six
powers.
FromTang Shao Yi's residence the
consuls proceeded to the headquar-
ters of Or. WI Ting Fang, the rev.
olutionary leader. where much the
same ceremony took place. Reply
ing after the notes had been pre-
Sented by the consuls in order Of
seniority, Or. WI Ting Fang said
that he was a man of peace, but no
peace could be permanent unless it
was based upon the highest justice.

ing forces has been extended to De-
