Virtually the treaties, by the Senates
action. are up in the air." In their
modified form they must be referred to
England and France.
Senator Lodge and others who fought
| the Senate's action to-day declared that
| the alteration of the much discussed
third clause of Article III would i'm
peril the success Of the treaties.
No official expressions were made at
the State Department. Diplomatists
pointed out what they said was a par
ailel to the Senates action to-day, and
IN that case the treaties under consd-
Grafton never became operative.
In 1905, under President Roosevelt,
Secretary Hay negotiated arbitration
treaties with England and six other
powers which provided that questions of
vital interest, national honor and those
affecting third parties were not to be
arbltrated The Senate by a vote of
more than five 10 one amended the
treaties to provide that any special
agreements for arbitration We're to be
presented for it's advice and consent. The
treaties were pigeonholed I'm the State
Department. Diplomats think the situa-
uons much alike.
Ambassador Bryce did not comment;
neither did Jules Jusserand, the Ambas-
sador from France.

Taylor, of Tennessee, and Davis, OF Ar

Gronna, Gamble and Davis had been paired.
The treaty with Great Britain was first
taken up. and the first vote came promptly
at 4:30 o'clock on an amendment proposed
by the Foreign Relations Committee to
eliminate the third clause OF Article III |

centred-and on this the motion was car

Since her mothers death some years ago she had been practically head of the household It was on her that he relied for every thing, and it was with her that he discussed all his business affairs Such association between them naturally had strengthened the bonds into far more than the ordinary father-and- daughter affection.

WHY THE FIFTH MAN LEFT
He Wore Wig and the Other Four Men at the Table Were Bald
 and Palliative.

In the smoking room of a vest pound ocean liner two days out from an English port five men sat at a small game" of poker. When the chips had been cashed in the men re- tained their places, and presently one of the party said: This is funny: four bald heads out of a possible five" and then there was discussion as to the causes of badness, in which all took part except the unaffected man, who was good listener for Q while. He then bade the others good night When he had gone the young est of the group, who was less bald than the others, said: Do you know why MT. Blank made the getaway He wears wig, and is probably as bald as any of us." And for the rest of the journey MT. Blanks head was the object of study-at a distance for he never again appeared in the smoking room.

A quiet, reserved girl of great strength of character, several years older than Louise, her dignity and her well-considered actions had led me to believe her far less emotional than her younger sister.
 Tt was an accident, of course" l said. though doubtfully.
 "No!" gasped Louise, shuddering anew at the thought of the horror she had just witnessed. T heard the shot and found her on the divan in her room The revolver was still in her hand-her own revolver"
 For the first time it came to me with sudden vivid force that in the elder sisters life, behind the smiling mask of reserve she always wore, was hidden some secret sorrow. l un- derstood now, that faraway look in her eyes l felt there may have been there must have been-coneealed the knowledge of some mystery that impelled her to this awful deed.

 I saw the look with which she tried to read the doctors face and put the question she dared not ask.

Beware Diseased Potatoes.

On account of the recent discovery
of violations of the Maine quarantine
regulations, all purchasers Of Maine
seed potatoes are warned to have their
stock examined by the state expert, II
possible, before planting, the New
York Sun states. Inscriptions ship
pers, It is stated, have been sending
diseased potatoes into New York, Bos-
ton and other points, where certifl-
Gates of inspection have been fraud
ulently attached to the bags, While
in general the Maine authorities have
endeavored to see that none but sound
potatoes left the state, certain inspec-
tors have been negligent and have Ger.
tilted diseased stock. The United
States department of agriculture has,
therefore, advised buyers to disregard
all certificates issued hitherto. 1t will
be costly mistake for any farmer or
gardener to plant diseased potatoes.

OF the Trip From Saltilo.

Washington, ID. G. - While the
mediation negotiations, in the wards
OF high official, were progressing
smoothly, a new source Of apprehen-
sion on the part of foreign diplomats
was found in the situation at Guada-
lajara, the second city in Mexico,
where large numbers of foreign
refugees are reported to have gather
ed. Reports were received that BAN
dts were gathering in the mountain
near the city and threatening to attack
the town in case of withdrawal OF
its garrison. Part of the Constitu-
tionalist army. under General Obregon,
was also pushing forward toward this
city, arousing fears for the safety OF
the foreigners during the hostilities.
No adyices reached the State Depart
ment however, to indicate any press
ing danger there.
Conditions at Tampico continued
TO improve, and while neither the
State Department nor the naval oili-
GERS on the spot felt justified in ad-
yising a general return of the Ameri-
cans who had left Mexico during the
disorders. the Secretary of the Navy
granted permission to refugees now at
Galveston, who claimed they were
brought from Tampico against their
will. to return on the transport Han
cock. A number OF British oil men
also have left Galveston for Tampico.
ViceConsul John Silliman, the oc-
caslon of such prolonged anxiety on
account of his disappearance at Sal
