KNOX PRODUCES
BIG WINE BILLS

WASHINGTON, January 26.-Secre-
tary Knox yesterday sent to the house
committee on expenditures in the
state department the secret vouch-
ers for money used for the Lake
Champlain celebration Mr. Knox
when before the committee last Mon
day refused to produce the vouchers
and denied the right of the commit
tee to dig into the matter. But he
thought things over and wrote to
President Taft suggesting the latter
direct him 20 produce the vouchers.
This the president did and Mr. Knox
presented the papers to the commit
tee, remarking that the committee had
been right and he had been wrong
Vouchers for 100000 turned over by
the state department to the states
of New York and Vermont for expen
ditures in connection with the Lake
Champlain celebration show that the
money went for wine, cigars, trans
portation, etc.
1t cost $219l to carry the French
ambassador and his suite from Wash
ington to Lake Champlain and back
A like function was performed for the
British ambassador and suite at an
expenditure of 1898.
OF the total fund $5359 went for the
entertainment of guests at the Hotel
Champlain, $374S for a stag banquet
at that hostclry, and S243,50 for p
banquet to the ladies'" Automobiles

HOUSES OF GLASS
NO FAIRY STORY

CHICAGO, January 26.-The saw
about persons living in glass houses
not being wise in throwing stones
soon will have to be revised unless
American inventive genius fails to
live up to its reputation In this era
OF wireless telegraphy, concrete furni-
ture and foundationless houses the
time when glass will be used in the
construction of houses is not beyond
the ken of imagination, according to a
teacher of chemistry in one of the
local high schools.
"One must not expect to find trans
parent houses in the near future,
however, nor would one not versed
in the various kinds of glass recog-
nize the variety to be used in the con
struction of residences" said this
teacher The variety used on con
struction will at best be translucent
or perhaps Opaque. The idea is far
from a new one and embodies the
American plan of making the best
possible use of waste products.
For years the by-products of the
steed industry practically were le.
garded as so much waste and were
dumped to one side, the only time
they were thought of being when they
accumulated TO such an extent that
their removal became a question OF
considerable trouble and expense
Stag, the chief by-pruduct of steel
making, practically is of the same
composition as glass, but is so poor
( a grade that it's use for purposes sim
liar to that of glass is out of the Ques
I ton.
/ Recently, however it has beer
used to a considerable extent 1t has
ibeen found far cheaper and more dur
able than crushed stone for the pur
pose of railway ballast, and Germany
has recently employed it in the manu-
/ facture of telegraph poles and similar
articles. Its use in telegraph poles
has been found to be exceptionally
good, for REINFORCED by steel it i:
found not only to be perfect insu
lator but a material which will with
stand the ravages of time better thar
would wood or metal"

CULLOM'S STORY
AND OTHER WASHINGTON GOSSIP

WASHINGTON January 25.-Sena.
tor Shelby NJ Cullom of Illinois can
go back further, it seems. in the politi-
cal history of the country to find good
stories with which to illustrate situa-
tons in modern politics than any
other man in public life. The reason
for this, of course, lies in the fact
that Mr. Cullom has been in public
life nearly three score years
Recently the senator was talking
with a friend about the fate of the
Canadian reciprocity bill which passed
the last session of Congress, and there
was some conversation over the fact
that this measure passed the Senate
by large majority. while privately,
a large majority of the Senate was
known actually to be opposed to it.
That situation recalls to my mind
a remark made by old Peter Halves of
Logan county, Illinois, who served in
the twenty-eighth general Assembly
of that state with me in 1872 We
were discussing a bill in the House
one day and Halves got up and said
he regretted very much that he felt
called upon to oppose it,
I am not convinced, said Halves,
that this bill ought to be defeated, but
| can say this much, now, that after
studying it as best | could in the time
lallowed, | am in the same fix as the
man who made his own sausage. He
said that the further he went into the
process of sausage making and the
more he knew about the sausage the
less he felt like eating it,
II think old Halves just about hit
off the situation with respect to Ca
madam reciprocity legislation at the
time that bill was before us in the
Senate. The more some of the sena-
tors looked into the bill, the less they
I liked it, but somehow or other they
managed to keep their appetites in
trim and it went through

PHILADELPHIA, January 23.-The
Public Ledger says Housewives OF
Philadelphia will not submit to the
high prices demanded for butter So
said officers of Several prominent
women's associations yesterday, and
they have expressed willingness to
bring the matter before their organi-
cations. 1t is probable that House
wives Leagues" similar to the one
formed in New York will be estab-
lished to fight the soaring prices. A
boycott on butter was proposed
Dispatches from Elgin, H., yester-
day reported that butter had dropped
three cents a pound wholesale price.
AS the price was increased to forty
cents a week ago, an advance of four
cents, butter is still higher than at
any time this winter The fall in the
price caused comment regarding the
resumption during the week by the
Federal authorities of the injunction
suit against the Chicago Butter and
Egg Board Particular reference was
made at the hearing before Master in
Chancery Morrison to the connection
of the Chicago board members with
the Elgin Board of Trade, which an

sion of questions pertaining to the
government. All impartial observers
of these assemblies agreed that the
sessions We're conducted in a business

seemed to have a clear realization OF
the responsibilities of their position.
In these provincial assemblies impor-
tant questions were discussed and
resolutions passed in an orderly and
intelligent manner
In October of last year a still more
important part of the constitutional
program was carried out. The ma
tional assembly was opened in Pekin.
This assembly was a sort of a tenta-
tive parliament intended more as a
training school for the future parlia
ment than as an actual legislative
body. All the provinces sent delegates
to the national assembly. There
were in all 200 members. OF these
100 were appointed by the central gov
eminent and 100 elected by the as
senblies of the respective provinces.
The government members were
composed of sixteen peers of the i'm

HOW THE KAISER'S WARD
WAS SNATCHED FROM SOCIALISTS

BERLIN, January 22.-The Kaiser
division of Berlin, which alone of the
electoral districts of the capital re-
mains uncaptured by the Socialists
was saved from them in a most dram
attic manner at today's second ballot
The fact that the Kaiser's residence
is within this division gave great SEN
timental Importance to the result.
Herr Kaempf long the Radical holder
of the seat, was returned by ma
iority of seven
The result was a surprise, as it was
regarded as certain that the Social
lists, with the aid of the bulk CT the
1895 votes cast at the first ballot for
the candidate of the Democratic union,
would triumph. The disappointed
reds" attribute their failure to win
the eagerly coveted seat to, the fact
that adherents of the Democratic
union did not heed the injunction of
their leaders to vote for the Socialist.
Another cause which contributed to
cheat the Socialists of their expected
triumph was the sudden marshaling
of Conservative support for the Rad
ical candidate The Imperial Chan
cellor himself largely brought about

VISTA OF A RED" REICHSTAG
GIVES BERLIN SORE QUALMS

BERLIN, Germany, January 90
Although further gains by the Social
lists had been expected, the public is
fairly amazed at the proportions of
the victory they rolled up yesterday
in the final elections. Government
leaders make no pretense of conceal
ing the anxiety with which they are
awaiting the opening of the new par
lament, February Z. and section of
the conservative press, which has
promptly christened it the red reich
stag" is demanding that it be dis
solved the day it convenes.
Socialists Have Small Majority.
With 40 seats IN their possession,
the Socialists have larger represent
alton than any other single party has
had since 1877, and in combination
with the radicals and liberals they
form small majority. The Conserva-
tive center bloc thus is destroyed and
the chancellor is confronted by a
reichstag in which the majority is
openly adverse to his policies.
This Socialist triumph gains signi-
ficance from the fact that the govern
ment organs in the last few days have
been vigorously attacking the party
and denouncing Herr Bebeps follow
ers as enemies of the country.

The Vossische Zeitung suggests
that the Kaiser himself was RESPONSE
BILE for the Chancellor's action. The
Conservative headquarters, on hearing
of it, issued an admonition to 400 of
the Conservative voters in the divi-
sion, mostly civil servants, also to
hurry to the polls Both sides for the
first time impressed women into ser
vice as canvassers.
The Socialists obtained ample re-
venge for the loss of the Kaiser
seat" by enormous gains elsewhere.
At midnight their total strength in
the new Reichstag had already reach
ed 100 Today the polling in so divi-
sions has brought them so far % vic
tories, including a large net gain.
Their most notable triumph was
the capture of Cologne, the German
Rome, from the Catholic Centre. The
city gave the Reds" a majority for
the first time in the history of the
Empire.
The Socialist triumph today cou-
pied with 33 victories by other Left
parties, makes the chances of the
"blue-black bloc" retaining it's former
majority more than doubtful.

tive and center newspapers, the press
is practically unanimous in interpret
ing the result as a popular revolt
against long period of agrarian ty-
ranny and a reactionary beauracratic
government.
THE goal toward which the people
have been struggling for months"
says the Boersen Courier, the organ
of the Berlin business interests, has
been reached. All the popular discon-
tent and anger evoked by years of
conservative and clerical domination
came to the surface in this bitter
campaign. That the rule of the con-
servative-center coalition is broken is
cause for rejoicing.
Can Not Ignore Liberals.
Liberals may not be able to unite
with the Socialists on all questions,
but they are too strong longer to be
ignored. They form the peoples de-
Tense against reaction, opening the

Many of the Socialist victories were
in districts hitherto regarded as inn
pregnable conservative strongholds.

jority polled by Herr Liebknecht, So

does he usually begins by letting his
auditors know that he is no orator

After searching the crate over for
a tag and finding the strings to which
it had been attached, one of the col
ored men replied:

PEKIN, China, January 6.-CBy
News. THE first thing the Chinese
government did after coming to the
conclusion that the old order of things
could no longer be continued was to
appoint a commission to visit for
eign countries in order to study con
stitutional government Upon their
return a constitutional bureau was es-
tablished for the purpose of drafting
the constitution and all necessary reg
ulations for carrying it into effect
This bureau was much criticised and
was often sneeringly called the con
stitution factory. Many said that The
whole business was a farce and that
the government would not keep its
promises. But the bureau continued
its work quietly and did not deign to
answer any of the singing criticisms
which appeared in the newspapers.
After arduOus labors program FOR
the gradual introduction of constitu-
tional government was drawn up.
This program was embodied in an
imperial edict which was issued in
1907 The edict was received with en-
thusiasm in all parts OF the empire
II set forth clearly the steps by which
China was to become in nine years a
constitutional country The reforms
as outlined in the program of the
edict was carried out on time in every
case. The government deliberately
set out to teach the people the princi-
pies of constitutional government
Halls for the study of constitutional
government We're established in all
principal cities and paid lecturers
were sent out by the government to
instruct the people in political sci
ence.
Self-GoVernment Started.
Local selfgovernment was inaugu-
rated in the principal cities Frequent
edicts commanded the officials to be
.dilgent in the study of the principles
of constitutional government In the
government schools there was com

ing of political science and kindred
subjects. If any old conservative Of

against these barbarian innovations
