 "A lot of doiles and tidies, some stuff that they trim Christmas trees with and a lot of bloomin' foolishness that I never knowed existed is the way one of the cops described the apparel
 The police believe that the clothes were left beneath the house by some small negro boy who was on roller skates and was on his way to take the clothes to his mammy's employer. They surmise that the boy saw large, portly person dressed in blue clothes with brass buttons, that he "ditched" the basket beneath the house and made a get away in order to escape arrest for skating on the sidewalks
 Nevertheless. any person who has failed to have their washing returned can ind an extra basket at the police station.

FRANCE AND|TALY VIRTUALLY AGREE Italy Wishes to COnciliate France and Retain Her
 Dignity

Rome January 25-France and Italy, if is understood, are agreed as to the principle in the settlement of the Man cuba affair, involving the arrest of the members of the Red Crescent society while passengers on the French steamer Manouba en route to Tunis. The ne- gotiations which still continue. how ever. between Marquis di San Gulane, the Italian foreign minister, and M-
 Barrere, French ambassador to Italy, are directed towards seeking for
 mula. which, while fully satisfying France. will at the same time safe guard the dignity of Italy, so as to leave no trace of the incident to either country.
 France demands that the matter be restored to the status quo ante after which the differences can be referred to the Hague. On this point, Italy is
 confronted by two questions First-If the Turks are really what they claim to be, ought Italy simply to release them, or hand them over to France?
 Second-In event some of the Turkish prisoners prove not to be physicians
 or medical attendants, but belligerents, ought Italy to require guarantees if she ] hands them over to France that they will not be allowed to reach the Turk ish camp?
 These are questions, 1t is urged, of an extremely delicate nature, requiring much tact, but it is confidently expect
 ed that full argument will be reach ed tomorrow or Saturday.
 E Paris, January 25.-Negotiations pro- ceeding at Rome between the French ambassador and the Italian government over the arrest by Italian warships of a number of Turkish doctors and nurses belonging to the Red Crescent society on the French steamer Manouba is discussed calmly today by the press of all shades of opinion.
 Most of the newspapers express amazement that tic Italian government delays so long in making up its mind to release the Turks who are now hele at Cagliari Sardinia. It is pointed out that the surrender of the Turks to the French is the only possible solution of the difference Camille Barrere,. French amba ssador to Italy. and the Marcus di Sanganulino, Italian foreign minister, had another conference, the result or which has not been announced.

 The deputy sheriff and his men then broke down the door and as they stepped into the hall were met by a double charge from Phelps shotgun. The sheriff fell mortally wounded.
 The posse made hasty retreat, leav- Inducements were sent for and the house was surrounded, but in some way Phelps managed to evade his watchers and es- cape to the woods. He was hunted for two days and was finally forced, by hum ger, to surrender. He was immediately taken before Judge Henry J. Field in the Franklin district court, and pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering Haskins. declaring that the shooting of the deputy sherif accidental, as h 7 only intended to scare the officer and1 his men. Pleas of postponement of tho trial were granted several times, but on December 3, 1910, Phelps was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sen fenced to be executed on or before Jan uary 5. 1912. On January 3 Governor Foss requested the executive council to grant tho doomed man a respite of 30 days on the ground that new evidence was in sight that might result in new trial. The vote for the respite was unanimous but instead of making the time 30 days the council limited it to January 20.

National Liberals Control

This makes the national liberal leader, Ernst Bassermann, a commanding figure in the next reichstag. He will be able to swing avowed national liberals, who, under proper inducements, probably would be prepared to cooperate with the gov erpment on most questions. The hostility ot other progressive groups to the so- called reactionary bloc apparently is too great for any working understand ing except on questions of national de- fense and the increase of the army and navy.
 The socialists return as the strongest individual party, their total being brought up to 110 by winning II of the 21 rebal- lots in which they participated today. This is more than double their strength, which was 53 at the time of the dissolu- tion and % above their previous max mum In 1903
 The reichstag center is the next strong est individual party with 93 seats, which is a falling off of 10. the result of wide spread resentment at their share in the unpopular final reform of 1909 and the prevalent high cost of living.
 Having accomplished what the utmost efforts of Von Buelow and the govern ment were unable to effect in 1907 the clericals return with 19. They had hoped to play big role and obtain important concessions for the Polish policy as an essential factor to the new government majority, but the extent of the opposi- tion victory dashed their expectations.
 Clericals Lose Heavily
 One of the features of the elections is the fact that the clericals for the first time since 1881 are no longer the strongest party, and no longer hold the casting vote among the parties. They have alone 93, the same number as they had in 1S77-7s. The socialists particularly signallzed the day by capturing Pots dam from the conservatives, where pr. Karl Liebnecht. son of more famous father, was elected.
 The honors of the closing rechstag con- tests fairly belong to the leftists, who won 25 of the % districts in which they contested. Only eight of total of 3S fell to members of the right and cen ter. Five old conservative seats were lost to socialists and two to radicals.
 In Marianburg, Herr Von Oldenburg, conservative, was defeated. He Is the man who about year ago said the Emperor must have power at any time to say to lieutenant Take 10 men and dissolve the reichstag' The bitterness engendered by this expression, 1t is said, brought about his defeat.
 The prominent leaders include the cler- ical, Dr. Johann Geisberts of Essex, and Prince Shoenaich.

1912 PROSPERITY.

II looks like prosperous season
for Hawaii In general and Honolulu
in particular. This pleasing prospect
is a loss shared by the people of the
mainland II we may Judge from the
comment of the financial writer's of
the mainland press.
Despite the predictions of industrial
and financial troubles and in spite of
the approach to the fighting period of
the Presidential year a general trade
revival has been noted throughout the
United States. The exceptions prove
the rule.
Under the title of Wave of Pros
perity for Nation in 1912" the Hearst
papers published recently the follow
ing editorial comment:
Unless all signs fail the year 1912
will be bumper year for the United
States.
Money is easier than 1t has been for
months.
The enormous crops-the greatest
in the history of the United States
which sold for unprecedented prices,
and the yield of 100000 bales of
cotton. worth approximately $l,l25,-
OOO, 900, have filled the pockets of the
farmer and planter with money. The
effect has been felt in all lines of en-
deavor.
Allied to the farming industry Is
every business In the United States
from the great iron range of Michigan
where the crude ore Is gained for the
smelters, to the great emporiums of
New York that supply Western, South
ern and Northern towns with articles
of necessity and comfort.
Railroads are making greater eff
forts. In one case new line Is to be
thrown completely across the State OF
Kansas, from south to north, and an
other is to stretch from Northern
Texas to the Gulf A third Is to reach
its iron arms from Central West
| Texas to the banks of the Rio Grande.
A new line, connecting the most north
ern port In Canada with Galveston, Is
being completed in Wyoming that Will
open a hitherto undeveloped section OF
| the country.

Then there Is a road building from
the Colorado capital to Puget Sound,
another is double-tracking its system
between the Rocky Mountains and the
system has extended branch to with
in a few miles of the crest of the back
bone of the continent, on its way to
the Golden Gate.
These are few of the notable in
stances of railroad development. They
are mentioned because they probably
constitute the longest lines that are
being constructed
These roads are building through
sections in which there Is tremendous
agricultural development, and in re-
Spouse to legitimate demands for in
creased transportation facilities.
Then there are numerous branches
and feeders radiating from the main
lines, while new feeders and branches
are being thrown out. grades are cut
down and distances shortened by the
older railroads of the country.
Some of the Eastern roads maintain
experimental stations, with the result
that not only are the crops of the
West being duplicated there, but the
prices as well. Better farming brings
advanced prices, and with more money
to spend, the tiller of the soil is one
of the many that enters into the great
revival, and is entitled to much of the
credit for the wave of prosperity that
is sweeping over the country.
All sections OF the country join in
the movement, and men in every walk
of life agree that 1912 opens with the
best prospects that have greeted the
country for many years.
