ANGEL AVOIDED The TRAP
Tells Of His Duel Of Wits With a Spy
Of the Sultan Of Turkey
at constantinople.

In the diplomatic service. a man
must always keep his wits keen and
ready for use. A case in point is sup
piled by James Burrill Angel. in his
"Reminiscences" in this anecdote Of
his sojourn in ConstantInople, as min
lister from the United States:
The spies Of the sultan were every
where. A Turk told me that the spy
business was the most prosperous Of
all. ! was assured that spies were
sitting at the dinner tables Of the prin-
cipal hotels, to overhear the CONVEX
sation of the guests. With one against
whose visits had been warned, 1 had
an amusing interview.
He was a handsome, dignifed Arab.
who had been in England long enough
to talk English fairly well. He intro
duced himself to me by saying he had
been mayor OF Jerusalem. and was
now trying to procure from the gov
eminent a concession for the con-
struction of a system Of waterworks
for that city.
He regretted-so he informed me
to find that the government was so
corrupt that he had no hope of secur-
ing the concessions except by bribing
a whole row of officials. 1t refreshed
him to turn from those representa-
tives Of corrupt and tyrannical gov
eminent and pay his respects to the
representative of a pure and honest
democracy.
Supposing his object to be to draw
from me some remark derogatory to
the Sultan, which he could report to
my disadvantage, remarked that a
monarchy presided over by just SOW
ereign was a very edifying spectacle
and that even in republics it must
be admitted that corrupt men were
sometimes found in Office.
He seemed surprised, and proceed
ed to eulogize republican government
l continued my concentrations Of en-
/ lightened monarchies.
The conversation ran on In this way
for half an hour, when he bade me
adieu-but, as fattered myself, with
out any game for his bag.-Youth'I

Paid Good Price tod HIs cutIet.

The Brazilian nabob, Baron Fereau,
was as misery in trifies as be was ex-
travagant in other directions. 1t was
one of his peculiarities never to fee
servants, and the walters of the vari-
Gus hotels at which he sOjourned were,
for that reason, not partial to him.
One morning, while staying at the
magnificent Maux hotel, In Rio de
Janeiro, he came down to breakfast
and ordered a outlet. After he had
eaten it he ordered a second. Baron, -
said the head waiter, maliciously, its
a custom with US never TO serve the
same course twice at a meal" o. "Is
that so?" said Fereau, and rising from
his seat he left the room. In ten min

room. Waiter" said he, II have just
bought this hotel and am master here

Washington, Aug. 14.-Repeating it's action of yesterday when 1t passed the wool tariff bill over President Taft's veto, the house today re-passed the vetoed steel and iron tariff bill, within two hours after 1t had been returned from the White house with the presi- dents veto message. The vote was 17S to S3, a margin of only two votes over the two- thirds necessary to over ride the president.
 Senate Voted Down Cotton Substitute
 The senate. almost simultaneously, was engaged in passing the democratic cotton tariff bill sent them a week ago by the house. Senator LaFollettes substitute, which represented the views of the tariff board. was voted down, 45 to 19.
 An amendment was attached, re- pealing all but the pulp and paper sec tion of the Canadian reciprocity law.
 Two Before the Senate Now.
 The e-passed steel bill was sent im- mediately to the senate and reposed tonight with the wool bill among the papers technically on the desk of the president of the senate. Both meas ures will be called up Friday by Sem ator Simmons. and an attempt will be made to re-pass them; but the demo- cratic leaders have little hope that they can obtain the necessary two- thirds vote as did the house.
 Sixteen Republican Insurgents.
 Insurgent forces in both the house and senate contributed to the success of the democratic tariff programme In the house, the sixteen insurgents who voted with the democrats yester- day, again joined them in overriding the presidents veto while nine insur- gents in the senate joined in the pas sage of the democratic cotton bill.
 Democratic Leader Underwood de- manded immediate action on the stee bill as soon as the presidents veto message was received. There was g chorus of protests from the republican side, Minority Leader Mann declaring that only bills on the calendar could be considered.

New York, Aug. 14.-Although Po- lice Lieutenant Becker, charged witn instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, denied to his counsel to- day that he had ever possessed the sum of $58,S45 credited to his name or that of his wife in various New York bands, District Attorney Whit man today obtained from the officials of the Chelsea Exchange bank records showing that the police officer had de- posted $3,500 in that institution dur ing April, bringing the recorded total of Becker deposits up to $62,345.
 The securing of this record was an- other result of the aid which has been promised by powerful banking inter ests in the district attorneys efforts to expose blackmail in the police force, the bankers having promised to fur nish him with the amounts of depos- It's of any high police official whom he suspects of collecting graft

SENATE AGREES TO
 ABOLISH PENSION AGENCIES.
Will Mean Saving About $25o,oeo in
 Administration Expenses.

Washington, Aug. 14.-The senate today yielded to the demands of the house for the abolition of the pen sions agencies throughout the United States and passed the $150000,000 pen sion appropriation bill with a provi- sion for the abolishment of the agen- cies January 31 1913.
 The action of the conferee was the continuation of a disput which has held up the payment of over s9,000,- 900 of pension payments, due civil war veterans on August and has thrown the financial operations of the pension bureau into chaos. The house will probably accept the senate provi- sion pending the abolition of the pen sion agencies throughout the country. The house proposed that these agen- cies be abolished December 31 of the present year. This was the only pro- vision of the bill in dispute, and it's settlement was expected to end the deadlock between the house and sen- ate.
 Under the senate provision, the pay ment of all pensions would, after the date named, be made directly from the pension bureau at Washington At present the bureau has nothing to do with the actual payment to veterans, the checks going out through the hands of IS district pension agents. The change would abolish IS $4,000 jobs and result in the retirement or the removal to Washington of several hundred distrietclerks. A saving of about $250, 900 in administration of the pension laws would follow.
