in Russia had been so often bonnes allie

distinction. But the YOuriewsky Roman
offs had Slav mOrbdezza that pleased
at the time.
The accounts in the papers OF the bril-
liant matches of the Princess Youriew-
sky's children and the fashionable stir
they gave rise to at Nice prevented them
falling into oblivion in Paris. The mar
riage of Prince George seemed at this
distance a grand function. Thenceforth
he seems TO have become as most other
persons of the cosmopolitan set to which
he belonged. His wife's success as A
leader of fashion led 10 her being often

that finally, losing patience, he refused

him a short time ago for the balance OF

The court held that, considering the
fortune of Prince George, and the sphere

The Authors of the Sherman Act.

The author of the history OF the Sher-
man law. Mr.. F. L. Walker. has in,
vestigated the records OF the Senate
Judiciary Committee to determine the
authorship OF the Sherman antitrust
act He finds that it was the late Sena-
tor Edmunds who wrote the first three
and the fifth and sixth sections of the
act, with the exception of the words,
in the form of trust or otherwise" in
the first section, which were prepared
5y the late Senator Evarts. Senator
George wrote the fourth section, giving
the circuit courts jurisdiction over Of
lenses against the act. Senator Hoar
wrote the seventh section, providing for
the recovery of threefold damages for
violation Of the act, and Senator In
gals the final section, which provides
hat the word person" as used in the
act, shall include corporation
1t is likely that Senator Hoar put
all OF these provisions together in a
final draft. but if Mr. Walker is cor
rect, Senator Edmunds is the author
Of the major portion and the weightier
part of the law which has been named

HITTING TOO NEAR HOME.
Republican View of Opposition
to Cotton Schedule.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
The dissemination of the Democratic
leaders in Congress TO force action on
the cotton schedule revision at this ses-
sion is becoming painfully evident. Mr.
Underwood delayed offering the new cot
ton schedule as long as he decently could,
and the House managers put II through
on the theory that CONGRESS could find
an excuse for adjourning while il was
still unaCted on in the Senate or hung
up in conference. 1t was probably Mr.
Underwood's hope that both the new
wooden schedule and the farmers free
list bill would be defeated in the Senate
on a straight party vote Then the
House majority would have been able
to go home with a clear party record,
saying it had done what it could do TO
reduce rates. But when Mr.. La Toilette
began to dicker with the Democratic
Senators, and finally annexed them bag
and baggage. the situation changed. II
has been demonstrated that there are
enough coalition votes in the Senate 10
pass a dozen ''popgun" revision bills.
But Mr.. Underwood is not anxious TO CO.
operate with Mr. La Toilette In passing
them. for that programme would involve
an onslaught on the Southern cotton,
sugar. and rice industries which the
majority in the House has no appetite
10 make.

Mr.. Bryce and the Senate.

We may be pardoned for taking issue
in most emphatic terms, with the state
ments made in Ambassador Bryce
book, The American Commonwealth
aS printed elsewhere in The Washing
ton Herald this morning.
1t may not please Mr.. Bryce because
under our Constitution it requires q
\ two-thirds vote to ratify a treaty, anc
he may not like the fact that this gives
great power. to quote his own words
tc d vcxatious minority. As a matter
of fact it is an admirable safeguard
and the experience Of more than a GEN.
tury has demonstrated its wisdom.
Nor is it true that the Senate is cal
lous in the matter OF settling diplo-
matte troubles Neither is it disposed
10 keep them open for the sake, rs
Mr.. Bryce expresses it, of sucking
political advantage out of them. 1t is
composed OF patriotic citizens, whose
concern in the welfare of the nation
has been evidenced upon innumerable
occasions Some OF it actions upon
purely domestic matters may not have
met with universal favor. and some of
is members may not stand upon pin
nacle OF public esteem. but, as a body.
when it comes TO dealing with ques-
tions that involve the honor of the coun-
try with other nations, it may be trust
ed TO act with highest regard for the
national welfare.
1t is suggested that Mr.. Bryce's opin-
ion OF the Senate may account for the
provisions of the arbitration treaty.
which seem TO lessen the authority of
that body in dealing with the ques-
tions. thar may arise in the future be-
tween this country and Great Britain
and France. Whether this be true or
not, Mr. Bryce'> criticism ought not
to be allowed to stand without refuta-
ton.

WILL DEMAND STATEHOOD.
Friends of Measure Planning to
Ignore Presidential Veto.

Friends of Statehood unconditionally
are determined TO pass the necessary
legislation to bring Arizona and New
Mexico into the Union regardless of the
recall or of Presidential disapproval.
They were somewhat disturbed when
they realized that even should they pass
the resolution over President Taft's veto
there could be no Statehood unless he
issued the necessary proclamation. This
they feel he would not do. 1t is provided
in the enabling act that the States shall
come in whenever the President issues
the proclamation.
II is now proposed by some Of the
friends of Statehood to ignore the Pres
identiaI veto and to pass a resolution
amending the enabling act to bring in
the two new States without the formal
ity of the Presidential proclamation.
Such a move would involve fight in. the
Senate and be seriously resisted by the
friends of the President

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
BY A. w. MACY.
A ROOM FULL OF GOLD.

Il
Pizarro, the conqueror of Mex
leo, heard that in the valley Of
Caxamalca were immense treas
ures of gold and silver. So on
September "a, 1882. he set out in
search of them. Arriving at the
town of Caxamalca, he sent for
Atahualpa, chief lord among the
natives. Fearing for his life,
Atahualpa promised Pizarro a
great quantity of gold and silver
How much?" asked Pizarro. Il
will give" replied Atahualpa,
gold enough to fill a room %
feet long and II feet wide, and
the height will be once and a
half a mans stature" He also
promised enough silver to fill a
chamber twice over, besides many
golden pots and jars, and to do 1t
all in two months. He kept his
promise. The precious metals
came. sometimes 10000 pesos, and
sometimes $4,000 and $4,000 pesos
of gold a day. Pizarro had the
vessels and plate melted down
and counted, and 1t is estimated
the total value was S17,5OO,OO0 of
our money. OF this Pizarro had
his share of 100000 pesos of gold
and $4,000 of silver. A fifth of
the whole was set apart for the
Spanish King. and the rest was
and followers.

More Use for the Weather Service

France is taking the lead in advo-
eating a notable advance in the appli-
cation OF meteorology to the service of
agriculture. 1t is planned TO dot the
entire country at short intervals with
weather stations, from which bulletins
are to be issued every morning for the
guidance of the farmers. The existing
stations of the weather service will be
utilized, local meteorologistS being sub
ordinate to observers whose jurisdic-
ton extends over a whole region
Every community will have its own
weather station. and bulletins are to be
transmitted to every village rapidly and
simultaneously.
Our own weather service has proven
OF great value to the farmer. but we
have not yet established so minute a
subdivision OF it as is now proposed in
France, Just as the rural postal serv-
ice has developed into a boon to the
rural dwellers. so a more local elabora-
ton of our meteorological system might
have most far-reaching results. The
subject is one worthy of consideration
by Congress. The real trouble with our
meteorological service is that we have
not spent money enough to make it as
useful as it ought to be, and to de-
velop all OF the resources of helpful
ness which it contains.

Col. Green's Ideal.

Col. Edward H. R. Green, the wealthy
and only son OF an extremely rich
mother, unquestionably has the right to
wed whom he chooses. Just like any
other man. Having remained single be-
cause he could not find the right wom-
an, he is now determined, at the age
OF forty-two, to make one last and
vigorous effort to find and select one
to suit his taste and expectations.
There is something refreshing in his
remarks as to his ideal OF a wife No
butterfly for him, no mere woman of
fashion. He s.ys he will search the
inner recesses of a womans soul and
find out if her affections have the true
ring" The sentiment is a fine one.
The woman whose affections ring
true is the one to marry.
But Col. Green is nothing if not prac-
tical, even in his sentimental feelings.
He believes in corned beef and cab
bage diet, rather than the rich food
he has been getting in New York hotels,
which leads one naturally to the in
ference that he expects the future Mrs.
Col. Green to be an expert in the prep
aration of that Savory and wholesome
dish and similar viands. He has other
views, which have been duly published,
but he does not openly proclaim, what
is undeniably true, that he trusts to
his worldly wisdom not to be captured
by the ordinary devices of matchmak-
ing mammas.

MUST SUPPORT OFFSPRING.
Fathers of HIeEitimate Children
Will BE Hailed 10 Court.

In a report on the bill to provide sup
port and maintenance for illegitimate
children born in the District, sent to
Congress yesterday. the Commissioners
of the District recommend that several
changes be made in the bill, and that its
title be revised in such manner as to
prevent an objectionable designation of
children in whose behalf the proposed
law has been devised.
The Commissioners suggest that the
bill be altered to exempt the father of
an illegitimate child from Imprisonment
If the court be of the opinion that he is
unable to make payment according to
the Judgment rendered. The Commits
sioners call attention TO the fact, in this
connection. that the bill is intended for
the support of the child and assert that
the Imprisonment of an impoverished IA
ther is not conducive TO that end.

the cry. and all the more gladly II
their party is opposed to the Presi-
dent in power. because in defeating
the treaty they humiliate his admin
istration. Thus the treaty may he re-
jected. and the settlement OF the
question at issue indefinitely post
poned.
1T may be thought that a party
acting in this veXatious way will suf-
fer in public esteem This happens
in extreme cases; but the public are
usually so Indifferent TO foreign af-
fairs, and so little skilled in judging
OF them, that offenses of the kind de-
sCribed may be committed with prac-
tical impunity. II is harder TO fix
responsibility on a body of Senators
than on the Executive: and whereas
the Executive has usually an interest
in settling diplomatic troubles whose
continuance il finds annoying. the
Senate has no such interest, but is
willing to keep them open so long as
some political advantage can be suck
ed out of them.
The habit of using foreign policy
for electioneering purposes is not con-
fined to America. 1t has been seen in
England. and in France. and even in
monarChical Germany. But In Amer
lea the treaty confirming power of the
Senate opens particularly easy and
tempting door to such practices"
