PROMISES TO HASTEN VOTE.
senator Kern Says He VIII Quicken
Election Law.

Majority Leader Kern OF the Senate
yesterday promised early action on the
Poindexter bill to provide emergency
machinery for putting into effect the
new law for direct election Of Senators.
Failure of Congress to provide tempo
rary methods for election and nomina-
tion Of Senator until the various State
LEGISLATURES act. had already caused en-
barrassment in Alabama and Maryland.
Poindexter's bill provides that Senators
may be nominated and elected by popu-
lar vote in the same manner as Repre-
sentatives until the State Legislatures
themselves provide a direct election
system.

The English tongue sometimes. 1 fear.
Would strike a man from Mars as queer
For instance, when some people say,
=" 'Tis sad to see one pine away"
They do not know the kind Of pine
That gladdens so this soul of mine
When observe IL front the i'll
OF winter with its bitter chill,
Its green persistent in the face
OF every blast that comes space;
Its head held high against the sky
Whatever tempest passes by;
And mid the billiards as serene
As in the summer. soft and green.
1t simply pines. and-pines away,
And gathers strength day after day
And stands erect whate'er may be.
And takes what comes unflinchingly.
How wondrous fine 'twould be, say,
II folks would only pine" that way.

BRITISH ANSWER THE
ARGUMENT Of KNOX
ambassador Bryce States Oh
jections to Canal Toll
Law Briefly.
By International News Service.

BY International News Service.
WASHINGTON, March Through
James Bryce, the British ambassador,
the reply of Great Britain to the con-
tention Of this government that it has
a right to pass its own vessels through
the Panama canal free Of tolls was
made today. The reply is one OF the
briefest documents Of the kind that
has been written, the reason for this
brevity being that the present govern
ment is soon to 60 out OF office and
that the British government has not
had time to formulate complete an
swer to all the arguments of Secretary
Knox.
Embassador Bryce, for his govern
ment, holds that there is as yet no
reason for complaint by Great Britain
because no acts have as yet been com
mitted which can givo rise to COM
plant He asserts that such acts have
been made possible by the Panama
law passed by congress and urges that
the questions likely to arise be sub
mitted to arbitration before the com
pletion of the canal.
Mr.. Bryce says that Great Britain
objects to the law On the ground that
in the oDinion Of his majesty's s govern
ment, it does not give all nations an
assurance Of equitable treatment in
the canal

he had no hope OF escaping death and
wept.
MY assassination is Inevitable" he
said. Both OF you must be brave when
l am gone"
Shortly after the two women were led
away, Sonora Suarez, wife OF the vice
president. went to the palace and asked
permission to see her husband, which
was granted under the came conditions
that governed the Madero interview,
The Madero family had sought the pro-
lection OF the Japanese legation, where
they remained during the events that
followed the death OF Madero, The grief
OF the wife and sister Of the ex-presi-
dent was pit!able. When they learned
his fate they were for long time hys-
tercal; then fearing for themselves, they
determined TO fleo to Vera Cruz and Ia
seek refuge on the gunboat Cuba, which
had been offered TO them by the Cuban
minister to Mexico. who had withdrawn
with the ministers Of Peru Japan and
