NOT TO AID GOVERNMENT
MEXICANS ARE INTERESTED IN
DISPOSITION OF TROOPS.
Deny That Government Of Mexico Has
Asked Intervention in Internal
Affairs.

washington. March S.-The Mexican
Embassy today issued a statement
branding as preposterous the report
current that the Mexican government
was looking to the United States for
aid IN regulating it's internal affairs.
The statement says in part:
The SenSate rumOr that Mexico
had asked or was going to ask Amer
lcan intervention to settle its own in
ternal affairs is ridiculous. The re-
public has the means and power and
is supported by public opinion to en-
able it to suppress the insurrcction.
This embassy afiirms emphatically
that Blatt and ConverS ewere taken
prisoners on Mexican territory and
not on American soil as falsely has
been represented by press reports"
The W prisoners referred to in the
statement are both Americans who
Joined the insurrectos operating along
the Rio Grande. They were captured
by Mexican federal troops and are
now in prison. 1t has been stated that
both men were taken after they cross

Atlas and HIS Load.

Strictly speaking, atlas Is a mis-
nomer for map book. since 1t was
not the world, but the heavens, that
the atlas of mythology upheld. Mer-
Gator, the famous Dutch geographer,
who made globes for Emperor Charles
V. of Germany, was the first to use
the name in this connection, choosing
II as a convenient and in some sort an
appropriate title, because Atlas, the
demigOd, figures with world upon his
shoulders as frontispiece Of some
early works on geography.
Atlas, it was said, made war with
other Titans upon Zeus and, being
conquered, was condemned to bear
heaven upon his head and hands. Lat
er tradition represented him as n man
changed by means of Medusa's head
into mountain, upon which rested
heaven and all its stars.
In any case, Atlas was always asso-
ciated with heavy burden strongly
borne Thus Shakespeare makes War
wick say TO Gloucester:
Thou art no Atlas for so great weight
1t is not difficult to see how by an
association of ideas this came to be
chosen as the name for book of
maps which upholds and exhibits to
as the whole world.

WOOL BILL AGREED TO
Conference Report on Underwood
La Toilette Measure Adopted by
House.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The confer
ence report on the Underwood.La Fol
lette wool bill was agreed to by the
house of representatives. The vote
was 2O6 to 90 Thirty Republicans
and Representative Aiken OF New
York, the politically unclassifed men,
Der, voted with the Democrats for the
report.
Immediately after the conference
report had been called up in the
house by Representative Underwood,
Representative Mann, the minority
floor leader, made a point of order
against it on the ground that the con
ference committee had no right to fix
in some cases, higher rates in their
agreement than were contained either
in the house or senate bills.
Some surprise was expressed that
Mr.. Mann should haxe presented this
objection In view OF his admitted fa-
miliarlty with parliamentary preced
ents, as Speaker Clark, without much
trouble was able to dig up precedents
from the ruling of Sneaker Schuyler
Colfax, John G Carlisle, David b.
Henderson and Joseph G. Cannon
made it a simple matter for him to
overrule the Mann point of order
1t was a matter of comment that the
vote of 206 to 80 was more than
sufficient to pass the bill over the
veto of the President so far as the
house is concerned

Marshal Iure.n and His Scum.

There is quaint old shop In London
which still bears the name of Samuel
Birch, the first purveyOr Of turtle soup
IN the English capital. Amid all the
changes of the city Birch's shop in
Cornhill survives in the guise 1t wore
when its owner was lord mayor OF
London in the memorable year of Wa
terlOO. Samuel Birch achieved distinc-
tion in many fields. He was an orator
and Il patriot he was colonel Of the
city militia and accepted with great
good nature his nickname of Marshal
Tureen; he was man of letters, pro-
duced plays that held the stage and
books that were readable, though now
seldom read. One Of his plays, THE
Adopted Child" was popular long aft
er its author had killed his last turtle.
His daughter married Lamartlne, and
one of his sons, Il fine classical scholar,
bcgat Il family of scholars Yet Birchs
claim TO fame rests most upon the
fact that he was the man who made
turtle soup popular. City merchants,
templars from the inns and dandies
from the west end all flocked to Corn
hill, the turtle house of all London
Argonaut.
