CHAPTER VII.

Left alone, Katherine drew a long
breath. Her face was set and her eyes
were harder thar it is good for a
woman's eyes to be. She pictured to
herself the future for which she had
just ~bargained. There would be
wealth-no more p%inching struggle
with masked poverty, her father at
ease. his political debts all paid.
There would be no more pretense that
her art was for love Of II and not for
money-she would be free TO follow
her desires in this AS In all else.
There would be honor and power as
wife of the states chief executive
and that vas but a step to further
honors that she would achieve at
SHADES side-with Slade-always with
Slade-ah!
AS she stood thus the horror OF what
she had agreed to do swept over her.
and she sank moaning and shivering
into a chair. covering her face as II
to shut out the hideous vision OF her
self as SHADES wife. She did not

Washington, April 11.--Delving into a
magazine published in 1879, Represent
alive Johnson, Washington Republican
found uncompimentary comment upon
Congress by Thomas W. Wilson" who
observed that 1.-The President can seldom
make himself recognized as a leader
"Who is this Thomas w. Wilson ?"
asked Representatives Hamilton. of Michi-
gan, and Murdoch, of Kansas, in concert.
"He is Woodrow Wilson. President OF
the United States, and Woodrow Wilson Is
this Democratic administration"
Mr. Johnson announced that he would
read into 1.-THE Congressional Record ex-
tracts from the article, which was pub
lshed in The International Review
Thomas W. wilson" explained Mr..
Johnson, Says that Congress is a deliber-
alive body in which there is little deliD-
Grafton. and legislature which legislates
with no real discussion. He says that
committees cannot properly do the work.
and that full debate at the right time Is
not allowed. Thomas w. Wilson says that

He says also that the President can sell

as follows:
Congress is a condemnation OF inhar-

representing each his neighborhood, each
his local interests; all Of 1t is at best only
limping comparison between the con-
fictng and innumerable localities repre-

THE President can seldom make him
self recognized as leader. He is merely
the executor OF sovereign legislature
while his Cabinet officers are little more
than chief clerks or superintendent of
the executive departments. who advise
the President as TO matters in most of
which he has no power OF action indie

Continued from first page.

Tampico situation is being withheld by
the government.
The State and Navy departments
were fully aware all day yesterday OF
the events that took place on Thursday
at Tampico, but they suppressed the
facts. A statement issued by the State
Department to-day disclosed that
Huerta's apology was the result Of rep
reservations from the State Depart
ment through Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
the American charge daffaires in Mex
leo City. Following is the announce
ment made at the State Department to-
day:
Acting upon instructions from the
State Department the American charge
in Mexico City represented to the Mex
lean foreign office the extreme serious
ness OF the situation growing out Of
the detention of United States marines
by Mexican Federals at Tampico. a
personal explanation of the gravity Of
the occurrence was made by Mr..
O'Shaughnessy TO General Huerta him.
self. who stated, that in view of the
fact that the charge d'affaires Of the
United States had heard that the whale
boat in which the American sailors
were was flying the American flag, an
investigation will be made to establish
the responsibility of Colonel Hinojosa,
and that II the investigation should de-
velop a greater responsibility on the
part Of Colonel Hinojosa the penalty
applicable TO the case will be imposed
by the competent legal authorities
UnintentionaI, Says Huerta.
General Huerta also stated that In
accord with the line Of conduct which
the government OF Mexico has always
followed in the fulfilment of its duties
Of an international character regarding
all nations, II deplores what has &C.
Cured In this case, which has grown
out Of nothing more than the misun-
Outstanding of subordinate officer.
His superior officer at once proceeded
to point out that the occurrence was
unintentional. and he imposed upon
Colonel Hinojosa the disciplinary pun
ishment within the authority OF Cen
eral Zaragoza."
Mr. OShaughnessy reported that the
explanation as above made had been
given to the press OF Mexico City.
II the Mexican government falls TO
comply with the demands Of Admiral
Mayo drastic action will be unescap-
able. Just what would be done no one
seems to know. but the usual procedure
Is to begin with the seizure OF the Gus
tom house. Naval officers keenly hope
that the administration will back iAd-
miral Mayo to the limit, and that the
President will not be deferred in get
ting complete satisfaction by the more
peaceful tendencies Of his Secretly OF
State. Officers think that the itua-
ton generally will become even more
hopeless and that American Prestige
will suffer moro than over II tie dc.

hundred Chinese to be cared for. Ad-

that If the transports were not furnished
