VIII Greet Vessel when IL
Docks This Week.

LONDON, Nov 22.-(Special Cablegram
to the New York World and Omaha Bee }
Signal honors will be paid to the Christ
mas ship by the British government when
it reaches Devonport, next Thursday or
Friday.
In appreciation of American thoughtful
ness of the youthful sufferers from the
horrors of the war, Premier Asquith has
directed one of the leading members of
his cabinet, Earl Beauchamp first COM
missioner of works. to act as head of the
official reception committee which will
greet the United States collier Jason on
its arrival.
Enters Closed HarbOr.
1t Is significant of Great Britain's
gratitude that the local government board
which has charge of the arrangements
for docking the Jason and unloading its
yuletide cargo, has prevailed upon the
admiralty to permit the vessel to go into
the closed harbor Of Devonport rather
than Falmouth, where 1t was to have
been berthed according to the first plans.
Unloading Made Easy.
The reason for the change is that at
the former place the facilities for bringing
the ship alongside the pier are greater,
thus expediting the task of unloading the
thousands of Christmas gifts. Besides
Earl Beauchamp and the lesser officials
who will accompany him, the American
embassy will be represented by Secre-
tary Stabler.
Official Recognition.
There will also probably be on hand a
representative of the war office. which
will cooperate with the local govern
ment board in distributing the largest
pack of presents Santa Claus has ever
left in England at one time. Dust how
this distribution is to be carried out is
not known, as the authorities and Lord
Kitchener's aides are still busily engaged
in drawing up adequate plans for per-
forming this complicated duty in the
most efficient manner.
To Bring Panama Exhibits.
British manufacturers, according to w.
A. NJ. Goode, who is representing the in
terests of the Panama exposition in Eng
land, have already shown a desire to
take advantage of the American govern
ment's offer to place the Jason at the
disposal of those who intend TO exhibit
at San Francisco.
The boat will probably call at Marseilles,

Benjamin Ryan Ti11man. the South Carolina, statesman who was once popularly known as "Pitchfork,'' be- cause of the triple-pronged pointed ness of his speeches, will celebrate his sixty ty-seventh Birthday today a do- mesticated Solon. Age and illness have softened the lighting spirit of the old warhorse of the political arena, but he is none the less one of the most Now and then he flashes forth his shining oratorical weapon and inn pales somebody with 1t, but such oc- currences are all too rare to suit the gentlemen in the press gallery, who formerly looked upon Til1rnan as their best friend.
 E One way to arouse the. s1un1bering of the once fercest radical in Congress is to cack1e like hen within the hearing of. the South Carolina sena-- tor. Thereby hangs a taIe-a chicken tale The Senator has for several years been confined to a very simple and limited diet, but one day he was seized with a. longing to go on fried chicken debauch. At length the inn pulse to partake ofSthat southern deI- icacy grew stronger than he could resist, and he ordered fried chicken, old nanny style, at restaurant.
