children corresponds in this country
to the Father Christmas in other
lands, though coming three weeks
earlier.
1t so happened that the festival this
year came on the centennial anniver-
sary of Hollands independence. 1t
was just one hundred years ago today
that the Prince of Orange was pro-
claimed sovereign prince of the Uni
ted Netherlands. After having chaffed
under the domination Of the French
for number of years, the sturdy Hol-
landers had taken advantage OF Ma
poleon's perplexities elsewhere and by
a sudden revolution had succeeded IN
throwing off the foreign yoke. The
Prince of Orange was recalled from
his exile in England and invited to
resume the sovereignty that had been
exercised by his forefathers. Early
in 1914 he took the oath of fidelity as
sovereign prince and assembled the
throne as King William I.

N. Y. REPU BLICANS'
FAVOR PRIMARIES.
STlMSON AND FOLLOWERS OUT
VOTE BOSS BARNES IN STATE
CONFERENCE.

New York, Dec. 6-The radicals
ruled the Republican state conference
Friday afternoon and forced the ap-
proval of direct statewide primary
law. State Chairman VIM. Barnes
motion to reaffirm the more conserva
tive primary plank in the last Repub-
lican platform was defeated by vote
of 1872 to 1877.
The radicals led by Henry L. Slim
son, former secretary of war, split
with Mr.. Barnes and his followers over
the question of retaining party con
ventions.
The state chairman's proposition
was that the conference favors the
direct nomination of congressman,
state legislators, county and municipal
officers, but keep the state convention
for the nomination of Governor and
other state officers. Delegates to this
convention were to be chosen direct
ly by the voters, who should have
the right to express direct preference
for nominations of state officers, if
they so desired.
It did not suit Mr.. Stimson and his
friends and after a long debate they
carried a small majority of the con-
ferees with them. The resolution
adopted declared that all candidates
should stand on an equal footing. 1t
opposed the use of party emblems on
the general election ballot and the
factional column on the primary bal
lot. At the same time it expressed be-
lief in party organization and reiter-
ated the doctrine of former Gov.
Hughes that the direct primary should
be an adjunct to and check upon,
rather than a substitute for, the DELHI
Grafton and conference of the partys
representatives.

ASQUI7H WOULD
PAC|FY ULSTER
ENGLISH PREMIER HOLDS OUT
OLIVE BRANCH IN IMPORTANT
PROCLAMATION.

London, Dec. 6.-The British Cabi-
net, by royal proclamation promul-
gated last night, prohibiting the i'm
portation of arms and ammunition into
ireland, for the first time grasped the
nettle of the revolution in Ulster,
which it had hitherto ignored, al
though the followers of Sir Edward
Carson for months have been advertis-
ing their military preparations in every
possible way and daring interference
with them.
Almost at the time of publication of
the proclamation Premier Asquith
made the longest step towards the
government has taken by announcing
his acceptance of the principles of
basis of agreement which Sir Edward
Carson suggested in his last speech.
The principles are:
First-That the settlement must not
be humiliating or degrading to Ulster.
Second-Ulste-'s treatment must
not be different or exceptional from
that meted out to the other parts of
the United Kingdom.
Third-Ulster must retain full pro-
lection of the Imperial Parliament.
Fourth-The home rule bill must
not be SUCH as to lead to ultimate sep
aration of Ulster from Great Britain.
Thus the government extends to the
| signers of the Ulster covenant the
olive branch.
The proclamation prohibiting the
importation of arms and ammunition
into Ireland, which King George sign
ed at a meeting of the Privy Council
Thursday, and which is published in
the Royal Gazette last night was mild.
err than rumors had anticipated it
would be. Instead of reviewing the
| Irish home rule act, odious to the old.
time home rulers, against whom it
was directed, which prohibited the
carrying of arms and gave drastic pow
ers for search of arms, it invoked the
customs consolidation act of 1876.
The only reason given in the proc.
lamation for taking the step is the
statement Whereas, it is expedient
that the importation into Ireland of
arms and ammunition and other goods
hereinafter mentioned should be pro-
hibited, therefore," and the proclama-
ton proceeds to specify all articles in
tended for or capable of being used
for military purposes as being under
the ban. 1t exempts, however, arms
and explosives designed solely for
sporting Of mine uses.

from the inundated territory in this
district began coming in late today,
brought by men on horseback, which
was about the only reliable means of
communication. These couriers' re-
ports indicated at least twenty more
lives lost About two-thirds of the
drowned were negroes.
The riders reports indicated that
the property loss would total $4,000

the Brazos are added to the already
heavy damage in other portions of the
state.

boats from Houston, which were to

high water at Navasota. The boats
were launched at that point shortly
before dark and last night started up
stream over the flooded bottoms to
rescue persons reported clinging to
trees, house tops or occasionally stand
ing in shallow water cut off from
shore. Bryan had twenty boats out
all day, which brought several hun
dred persons, the majority terrified
and half-clad negroes, to the nearest
available bit of high ground.
A trainload of provisions with dry
blankets was sent from here last night
to Kosarek, a town on the edge of
the bottoms. where 100 of these refu-
gees were unloaded.
Throughout the bottoms even where
the water did not endanger life, it
ruined most of the provisions in gro
Gerry stores, leaving the food supply
very short.
The greatest anxiety last night was
felt for scores of negroes whom the

Prominent planters in the bottoms
have refused offers of rescue, sending
out their wives and children to Bryan,
but themselves remaining behind in

their buildings to improvse platforms
