The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1915-05-29

Explaining the negotiations
with Italy, Count Tisza said:
'"The latest speech Of the Ital-
ian Premier, Signor Salandra,
contained three accusations. The
first was that the ultimatum to
Serbia upset the equilibrium OF
the Balkans. 1t is generally
known that we gave a distinct
declaration to all the great pow
ers that we desired no territorial
changes whatever. The assertion
of the Italian Premier therefore
is a notorious untruth (great ap-
plause).
"The second accusation was
that we altered the spheres of in
fuence in the Balkans. The as
sertion is somewhat incompre-
hensible. As regards the Balk-
ans we always took the stand that
no division of the spheres of in
huence was possible; that we
we're interested in the entire Bal
kans, but claimed no hegemony
whatever.
"Signor Salandra's third ac-
cusation was that we violated the
triple alliance treaty because we
neglected to come to an agree
ment with Italy regarding our ul-
timatum to Serbia. The only
mention Of an antecedent agree
ment with Italy in the triple al
lance treaty states specifically
that this was required only in the
event of the alteration of the sta
tus quo in the Balkans. Until a
few days ago no italian statesman
asserted that we had violated the
treaty by emitting a previous
agreement. In the conversations
and exchanges of notes between
Austria-H Hungary and Italy dur
ing the months following the Ser
bian ultimatum, the idea never
arose that Italy saw in our pro-
cedure the violation of the treaty.
Much Excitement Caused
Cali the leading personalities
in Italy repeatedly and warmly
expressed the wish that Italy,
even though abstaining from the
conflict, would nevertheless re-
main loyal to her ally"
This statement of Count Tisza
caused great excitement through
out the House. The Premier
then described some phases of
the negotiations regarding the
compensation offered for Italy's

Woods We Use In Our TOYS.

Next to Eastwood, sugar maple, beech,

Ever Have the FeeIinu7

Who has not felt the sensation which
the French call 'deja vu' or "deja en-
tendu,' meaning that he is doing or
seeing or hearing something he has ex-
perienced before?
In perfectly new situation, writes
a physician in the Government Hos
pital For the Insane, in the Popular
Science Monthly, lin place which he
has never before visited, a person be-
lieves that he has been a visitor there
at some previous time. These feelings
of having already experienced such sit
uations are frequently due to memory
defects.
1T is probable that what takes place
is that one or several elements in the
present situation are like those which
had been experienced in the past, but
that the dissimilarities in the situation
are not observed. The individual has a
memory defect in that he parallels or

House Chimneys.

Chimneys We're scarcely known IN
England in the year 1900. One only
was allowed in a religious house, one
in a manor house and one in a great
hall of a castle or a lords house, but
in other houses the smoke found its
way out as it could. The writer's of
the fourteenth century seemed to have
considered them as the newest inven-
ton of luxury. In Henry Wis reign
the University of Oxford had no fire
allowed, for it is mentioned after the
students had supped, having no fire in
winter, they were obliged to take a
good run to get heat in their feet be-
fore they retired for the night. Holm
shed in the reign of Elizabeth de
scribes the rudeness Of the preceding
generation in the arts of life.
There Were," says he, Every few
chimneys. Even in the capital towns
the fire was laid to the wall, and the
smoke issued out of the door, roof or

In the year of 1850 a tax of 2 shiI-
lings was laid on chimneys.-LO
