The New
Speaker

Champ Clark. who has succeeded
Uncle Joe Cannon as Speaker of the
Jouse. bids fair to become as pictur-
esoue a national character as has the
sage of Danville. Clark is a man of
profound learning, but of homely say

Champ Clark of Missouri gets stirred

rase in most direct and blunt fashion.
Following Mr.. Clark's casual remark
that he would like to see Canada an
nexed, Mr.. Bennett of New York, a
Republican, sprang into the limelight
by introducing resolution to annex
Canada TO the United States. Clark
was asked what he thought about It.
Not a word. It's none of my kettle
of fish, Let him introduce what he
pleases,' drawled the Missourian, as
he resumed reading a paper.

Clark, right off the bat.
"Yes, think he is," responded the
friend.
"Well, if he's a Democrat, you can
bring him along to stand the test. If
he isn't a Democrat you needn't come
around at ALL"

 "JEF'FERSON DAVIS" .
 The foregoing, the last proclamation of the President of the Confederate states, is not often seen, therefore, it is given in its entirety The table on which this proclamation was written is now in the possession of Mrs. w T. Sutherlin, relict of the late Major Sutherlin. It Is of unusual design with carved legs, being made of heavy ma : mogany. It has upon 1t a beautiful slab about two and one-half feet by five in size. of mottled Egyptian mar ble. This table. I was informed, has been repea tedly sought for by those having control of the Confederate mu- scum at Richmond, but. naturally the family is reluctant td relinquish pos session of so valuable souvenir
 MT. Davis and the capitol of the Confederacy were at the Sutherlin iiohoioh ioi q "coh. OH tIle of April TO- President Davis accom- panied by Major 'Sutherlin went down town. While there they were unoffi- cially informed of Lees surrender on the previous day. At first, although the probability of such an event taking place had been suggested to them by Eexisting circumstances. the news seem ed incredible. Several hours subse- quently. however, official confirmation of the -tidings was afforded them.
 Under the conditions then existing

the only possible course of action left for the consideration of the President was for him to immediately, without any delay whatsoever, proceed further south. This course of action, the re- suits of which were uncertain, was at
 once put into execution. Taking with him only grip containing some im- portant papers, he. with his cabinet and staff, boarded a train, which had been hastily made up. for Greensboro. He left as it happened none to soon as a party of federal soldiers who had been sent to cut the road arrived at a trest1e
 a few miles south of the city just after the train carrying the President had passed over.
 After the President had gone to the depot, MT. Memminger who had been
 confined to his bed for several days with a severe attack of neuralgia and from whom the bad news had been
 carefully kept, accidentally learning of
 what had happened, got up and dressed
 at once, and insisted on going to the
 depot. There being no other convey
 ance available. the carriage being at the depot, he and his wife rode there in a farm wagon. The entire party left
 all their heavier baggage in Danville,
 only taking those things that could be
 carried In grips and valises.
 The last capital of the Confederacy
 had then been vacated by the govern
 ment and from thence 'The Bonny Blue
 Flag that bears Single Star" ceased to represent nation. Moreover, from this time the Confederate government
 was no longer a government, but only the scattered and broken head of a disorganized and demora1fzed resist ance to the reestablishment, In the southern states, of the authority of the United States government. Danville, Va.

WORK OF POLICE
 MEETS APPROVAL
RUSSIANS PLEASED BY REGENT AC- TTvITY OF ENGLISH AUTHORITIES
 TOWARD EXPERIMENTING AN ARCHIsTs-TELEsCO INVENTED

St. Petersburg, January 2S-(Special)- Russian officials have followed with the keenest interest the spectacular fights be- tween the London police and the an- archists. which have aroused all England. It may be said that there is a strong spice of satisfaction that England, which has long been haven of refuge for Rus sian tourists. has at last had an awak- ening as to the character of these men who are enemies not alone of the Russian government but to all government
 It is believed in official circles here that England will now be willing to join with the continental powers in a campaign of extermination on these men who are not so much patriotic revolutionaries as criminal enemies of all law and order
 England's policy of granting asylum to these outlaws as purely political offenders has been the main stumbling block in the way of stamping out anarchy on the continent, according to the Russian off cial viewpoint, and the change in policy which it is believed will be forced by the recent occurrences in London will be welcomed by every police department In continental Europe. '4fs %
 It is pointed out that even the United States has set its face against anarchy and will not permit known anarchist to land on It's shores. If England adopts this policy it is believed here that conti- mental Europe will be able to deal with the problem effectively.
 The famous police dog, Treff Moscow, Is dead. He disappeared some weeks ago and was thought to have been captured by criminals. But 1t is now learned he has fallen victim to the misplaced zeal of the authorities. Every night dog g-catchers parade the streets of Moscow to collect stray dogs. and it has now been discov- cred that they made away with Treff as . stray"
 The Russian Znamya, the organ of the society of the Black Hundred, has ceased publication owing to lack of support. MT. Dubrovin. the editor of the journal, has resigned the presidency of the union of the Russian people, which he says has become flock obedient to constitu- tional bureaucracy
 A startling invention is claimed by a Russian professor After 15 years of la bor he has constructed, 1t is said, an electro telescopio apparatus which will en- able the owner to see anything and any one he chooses. There are plenty of de- tails as to what the instrument may do, but none as to how the feats of vision are to be accomplished.
