Banquet to Seniors.
The banquet given at the high school
Saturday evening by the members of
the junior class complimentary to the
seniors and alumni was most delight
full, the elaborate menu being carried
out with entire success just as it was
announced in last Fridays Star
Mirror. Covers were laid for 108. The
gymnasium was most effectively dec
GRATED with lilacs, the senior colors
being lavender and cream. There was
a frieze of lilacs all around the gym
nasium, there were about so jardin-
ieres containing lilacs, and the tables
were decorated with lavender candles
Best Ever Given.
The banquet is said by all present
to have been by far the best ever
given here for the high school. The
service required only one and three
quarters hours. Great credit is due
to the domestic science department
which had the matter in charge, un-
der the careful direction of Miss Dew

Automicaly a Law.

Upon the rejection of the bill by the
lords, which is taken for granted, it
will automatically become a law with
the kings signature, and within the
next twelve months the new Irish par
| lament will be sitting at Dublin. The
bill itself provides that it shall not
become operative for eight months
| from the date of its passage nor in its
entirety later than fifteen months; but
there is a special provision which COM
lpels the organization of the Dublin par
lament within year. That the mea-
sure will receive the royal assent is a
foregone conclusion, notwithstanding
the flood of Unionist petitions that
have been pouring into Buckingham
palace asking His Majestys veto. AL
though constitutionally King George
would have the right to withhold his
approval, it is known that he has not
the slightest intention of doing so.
Fierce Parliamentary Battle.
through the commons this year was
marked by one of the fiercest parlia-
mentary battles in the country's his
tory, precipitated by the arming of
100000 Ulster volunteers sworn to re-
sist the operation of the act, and lead
ing almost to the disruption of the
government The regular army was on
the very verge of mutiny due to the
laundering of the war office in permit
ting officers to question its orders re-
garding service in Ulster; War Minis
ter Seely was forced to resign from the
cabinet; Field Marshall Sir John
French chief of the imperial staff, and
Sir J. S. Ewart, adjutant general, when
they discovered they had been misled
into signing a compromising memor-
andum with the recalcitrant officers,
quit the service in disgust; and Prime
Minister Asquith felt compelled, in or
der to prevent further undermining of
the governments authority over the
army, to take charge of the war port
folio himself, and to go before his
in East Fife for reelection
as a member of parliament.
House of Commons ThrOnged.
Seldom has the house of commons
been so thronged, on floor and in gal
leries, as it was this afternoon for the
closing hours of historic debate. The
appearance of the Irish chieftains, Red
Devlin, and O'Connor, was the
signal for hearty applause from the
coalition forces, while members of the
opposition were equally generous in
their greetings to Bcnar Law, Sir Ed
ward Carson, f. E. Smith, and other
Unionist leaders. When Speaker Low
ther took the chair shortly before
o'clock, every bench was occupied, and
many members were compelled to
stand. Urgent summonses had been
sent out by the "whips" on both sides,
in order to secure the heaviest possible
vote, and most of the standing pairs

End of n Long Fight.

LONDON, May 25.-Today witnesses
the elimination of Irelands unremit-
ting forty-year fight for self-govern-
ment Before midnight the dreams of
Butt, Davitt and Parnell will become
all but an accomplished fact The
house of commons will have passed for
the third time in three successive ses-
sions the home rule bill in substantial
ly the anne form as it was introduced
two years ago by Premier Asquith. The
liberal party, thanks to the operation
of the veto act which prevents the
house of lords from thwarting the
will of the people after their repre-
sentatives have thrice approved the
same measure, will have redeemed its
pledge to the Irish nationalists, on
through whose cooperation it has been
able to retain control of the British
government during the past eight
years.

Four Americans There.

The presence of four American car

Pope Plus had postponed the consistory
from Easter until today, contributed
as that of 1911 at which three of the
American cardinals were created. Car

LONDON, May 25.-The house of

The quick vote was a surprise
amounting almost to a sensation.

Membership of Sacred College.

Before the holding of the consistory
Sacred College had been reduced by
recent deaths to SO. Of these 29 were
Italians and "a were foreigners. With
the creation this morning of only five
new Italian cardinals against eight
foreign ones, the membership of the
Sacred College is now composed of
"a Italians and 80 foreigners.
Now Evenly Balanced.
Of the former, several such as Car
dinal Di Pietro, who is SO years of age
and has been bed-ridden for years, are
unable because of physical infirmities
to attend conclave for the election of
a new pope, and so the Sacred College
for the first time in centuries can now
be regarded as at least evenly bal
anced. The persistence of Pope Plus
in the policy that has resulted in this
is generally interpreted in Vatican cir
cles as meaning that he at least is of

church at the present time.
The 13 New Cardinals.
The following are 13 new cardinals
created today:
Monsignor Lodovico Nazario Begin,
archbishop of Quebec.
Monsignor Vittorfano Guisasolay
archbishop of Toledo, Spain.
Monsignor Domenico Serafini, Asses

COnsistOry Was Secret.

In pursuance with the country-o old
traditions of the Vatican the consistory
this morning was secret, being partici-
pated in only by the pope and the
members of the Sacred College. Fol-
lowing the formal opening, each car
dinal in turn, beginning with the dean,
Cardinal Serafini Vannutelli, was call
ed to the foot of the papal throne.
There Pope Plus whispered to each,
the names of the 13 prelates whom he
had decided to raise to the purple. To
these nominations, each cardinal in
turn gave his whispered approval.

Increase Foreign Cardinals.

Although the consitory this morning
failed to attract the attention of that
of November, 1911, in which 18 car
dinals were created, an Importance
nevertheless attached to it that may
have the most vital effects on the fu-
ture conduct of the Catholic church.
This Importance lies in the number of
foreign cardinals contained in the list
as compared with the Italian ones.
Until the consistory of l.
had for centuries past never failed to
maintain in the Sacred College a ma
jority of Italians sufficiently large to
insure always the election of an Ital-
ian pope. A radical departure from
this was made by Pope Plus in 1911
when the majority was reduced to any
thing but safe one, from
point of view. Although a vigorous
protest was at once made to his Holi-
ness by goodly party of the Italian
prelates, who pointed out to him the
many dangers which they believed the
possible election of a foreign pope
might entail, they apparently failed to
swerve him from the purpose he had
in mind-if purpose he had-when he
began the reducing of the italian ma
jority.

COTTON SITUATION SHOWS
MARKED IMPROVEMENT.

The Memphis cotton exchange
opened Monday, quoting Sc .cr
middling and several hundred
bales changed hands on that
day.
The significance of these facts
and figures are not SO great as
the moral Jifect of lhls opening
1t was the iorerunne- ~ "a gensr-
al clearing up Of conditions 80
erning the cotton situation There
is, rs result, no Necessity lc-e
or elsewhere, of a sacrifice of the
staple in order to get a little
money. Both the Roberts an,,
Bondurant gins at Hickman, are
now offering comparatively lib.
eral advances on cotton, subject
10 the usual terms. The latter
gin also offers to purchase seed
cotton at prevailing market
prlces-or to gin for yOu at zoe

D0dds and the stores with which
he is connected are offering a
credit of $40 "A bale on accounts
and notes. The Peoples Bank
also has a proposition to offer
which is equivalent to an adj
vance Of $50 per bale.
In short, the situation is ar
ready greatly improved and u
few more days will doubtless see
II approaching normal stage
This is going TO ease up the
planter right sharply, aud all
other lines of business will be
greatly benefited.
The buy-a-balc movement,
whereby firms and individuals
have bought one or more bales
and pledged themselves not to
sell for less than Zoe a pound,
has grown to such an extent that
thousands of bales have been
taken off the market aud HEX
man planters are joining and al.
ready have signed up to hold
back more than 800 bales. e..
T. Bondurant. who is circulating
a paper for the purpose, believes
$50 to 500 bales will be held
back by our planters.

dence, and the foreign spinnrrs
are expected 10 resume business
