A GLIMPSE OF sWINBURNE.
eayard Taylor Called Him Psrvsrss,
WilIful and Unreasonable.


In all important respects except one
found him to be very much what
anticipated, writes Laura Stedman in
the North American Review, quoting
Bayard Taylor's impression Of Swim
burne. The exception is instead of
being prematurely blase young man
Of the world, he is rather a wilful, per-
verse, unreasonable, spoiled child. His
nature is still that Of the young Shell
ley, and my great fear is that it will
never be otherwise.
He needs the influence Of q nature
stronger that his in everything but the
imaginative faculty-such a nature as
Byron's was to Shelley. = He has
a weak moral sense, but his offences
arise from colossal unbalanced affec-
tation. This, or something like it, Is a
disorganizing element in his nature
which quite obscures the organizing
that is artistic-sense. What I admire
In him, yet admire with q feeling of
pain, is the mad, unrestrained prebon-
derance Of the Imagination. Il is a
godlike quality, but he sometimes uses
it like a devil. He greatly interests
thy intellect but does not touch me
magnetically.
He could have no power over me, but
on the contrary, felt that should
be able to influence him in q short
time. had letter from him the
other day which shows that he feels
an Intellectual relationship between us.
Now, this is not question of relative
poetic power. but Of q certain diversity
OF qualities, and l don't mean to be
egotistic In saying that might perform
somewhat Of the same service for him
as Byron for Shelley. feel that az
1t Is not already too iate) l could help
him to some degree Of poise, Of system.
of law; in short, art.
In this sense he moves my deepest
sympathy. for see now the matter
that might be nodded into splendid
poet relapsing into formless conditions,
1t is sad. it is tragic, and If this fan
cy of mine he foolish, there 1t e, new
ertheless. Without this sense Of civ.
ing assistance week alone with Swim
burne would be intolerable to me or
any other human being.

A BILL N THE BOX
Story Of a Legislative Prank In
the New York Assembly.
DILEMMA OF A TIMID MEMBER.

Though His Name Was Signed to the
Measure He Was Not lts Author and
When Ordered to Withdraw Il VIVA.
Little Courage He Had Failed Him.
There was a fake bill introduced in
the assembly Of New York state dur.

came famous piece Of legislation be-
fore 1t arrived at its formal fms, al.
though it has never until the present
time been chronicled in print
The act was placed in the assembly
bill box by two jokers Of the assembly.
It was drawn up in the regular form,
beginning with the necessary verbiage,
1.-The people Of the state Of New York
in senate and assembly represented -
etc. The provisions Of the first two or
three sections were also very plausible.
and, in fact, the entire measure was
put together In such way that only a
technician in legislative matters could
have discerned the joke.
The assembly bill box Is a receptacle
placed for the measures of the legisla-
tors who may wish to have them in
troduced at the next regular daily ses-
sion subsequent to their deposit. The
box Is only used between times" for
when the assembly is in session the
bill may be handed up to the clerk for
reading. Bills are introduced in dupli.

Marriage.

Voltaire, in his Philosophical Die

men you have the fewer crimes there
will be. Examine the frightful col
umns of your criminal calendar; you
will find there hundred youths exc

riage renders men more virtuous and
more wise. The father of family is
not willing to blush for his children;
he is afraid to make shame their in

HARD FIGHTING IN ALSACE

BERLIN, Jan 4-Itis officially announced that after an overwhelming bOmbardment Of the helghtS west oI Sonneheim in ASace the enemy captured and demolished our trenches on those heights and in connection herewith captured the village of Stenbach which we stubbony de- tended in spite of disadvantages under which we abored The loss of the heights regarded so severe by our com mander in that region that fierce bayone assault was ordered and after bloody struggle we drove out the enemy and are once more in posseson We have not yet reaken Stenbach however but the battle for that place
 now proceeding and chiefs have no doubt that we shall retake the village which the heights have commanding position. Our troops in the east have cer- tany gained very distinct successes over the Russians and are advancing towards Warsaw slowly but surely The taking of the city of Bermow is regarded as bril-
 liant victory It was the next step in the march on % EaG 6 eral Hndenburg is being carried out without hitch. It remains the source of the greatest satisfaction to the peo pie of this city that every in the east now acc0mp anied with German triumph and the inability of the Rus sians to win even victory against our troops taken to show that their opposition is weakening all the tune against them into an overwhelming triumph. Berlin is now constantly celebrating victories against them

TURKS AND GERMANS
 REPORT SUCCESSES
Both Claim the Capture Of Cities in Russian
 Territory.
TURKS PUT ON SPEED

LONDON, Jan. 4-The Turks are increasing their activities in the Caucasus and are undertaking far more important operations that part of the war theater They are undoubtedly fighting with great yaor and stub borness which may probably be accounted for by the fact that they believe they engaged in holy war, They claim in todays dispatches to have capuhed the two important fortified towns of Sar and Kamysh in Russian territory but the Russians deny this story and reahae with the information that the Turks have been repused with enormous losses It cannot be questioned that both
 sides are losing heavily in that region The forces on both sides have been considerably increased and the war for the possession of the territories in that part of the world is becoming greater and boOdier every day The whole region is covered with deep and this with the bitter cold prevailing is causing terrible suffering in both armies The Turks have undoubtedly carried the war n- to Russian territory and with RuSSias hands tied in Eu rope Turkey has a tremendous advantage.

GERMANS TAKE BERJIMOW

LONDON, Jan. 4-The claims of the cOntendng armies in the east are utterly rrecOnciabe. While the Germans claim more big successes the Russians deny them and so far as the people of this city know there no way to decide between them In Poland the Germans have taken BormOw which is nearer Warsaw but even this is denied in the Petrograd dispatches and the truth can only be known after some days when the positions of the forces must become public by the continued reports ot the fighting and where it is taking place. In their denial of the German story the Russians declare that the Ger mans have been repused with severe losses S expected that the invasion of Hungary by the Russians in force will begin soon but no one blind the fact that great invasion of Hungary would take the Russians across the mountains far from their base and might leave them open to an attack in the rear by the Germans in Poland the latter are successful in their present operations west of Warsaw

CANADA FACES
 GREAT STRIKE
THOUSANDS OF RAILROAD EM. PLOYEES REFUSE TO ACCEPT
 WAGE REDUCTION.

OTTAWA, Jan. 4.-Fourteen thou sand employees of the Canadian Paci- fic railroad have refused to accept the proposal to reduce their wages. Thousands of the employees of the Grand Trunk railroad have also re- fused and if the two great companies persist in .neir intention to reduce the wages the Dominion will be threaten ed with very serious state of affairs. The loss of business due to the great European war was regarded by the directors of the roads as sufficient grounds for asking the employees to consent to a reduction until the bus mess of the country resumes its nor nal condition. The employees, how ever, state that the excuse is a fimsy one and is meant only as the thin edge of a wedge to bring about gra- dually a lower standard of wages per manently. The matter is now under consideration by the unions and the employers.

WICKERSHAM
 AGAIN MOVES
CORRESPONDENT OF SEATTLE PAPER TELLS OF DELE
 GATES CHANGES.

AS to the political affiliations of Delegate Wickersham there has often been some doubt. It was reported some time ago that he was about to ,ecome a democrat and, indeed, he expressed views which were well cal culated to cause such an opinion, but the following from the correspondent at Washington of the Seattle Post Intelligencer throws a light on the matter;
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Again has the politics of James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska, been officially amended. Not long ago there was re- lated in this column the story of how Mir. Wickersham was first classified in the congressional directory as a Re publican, how in the directory issued at the beginning of the Sixty-third congress he gave no politics in the official autobiography, and how South Trimble, clerk of the house, in his compilation of an unofficial list of members of the Sixty-fourth congress, classified Mir. Wickersham as Dem ocrat.
 Now comes the congressional direc- tory for the present session. In it Mir. Wickersham, as before, assigns himself no politics, but in the list of the Sixty-fourth congress printed at the back of the book Mir. Wickersham is classified by the clerk as a Pro- pressive.
 Apparently Mir. Wickersham pro poses to stand on this last classifica- tion."

MCDONALD GETS
 A COAL PATENT
KATALLA CLAIMANT IS NOW FULL OWNER OF COAL
 MINE.

JUNEAU, Jan. S.-McDonald the claimant of a coal claim at Katalla, has been awarded his final patent and thus ends a long fight which he put to secure the ground held by him for many years. It was charged that the ground which he had located and the ground for which he had applied for a patent were not the same and on this charge chiefly his claim was held up. These charges have been dismissed and the final patent is the further answer to them. The outcome of this case leads many to the belief that other bona fide claimants vii receive patents quickly from this time for ward.

Congress Considering Adyisability of Changing Plan to Hold Them Over.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The presi- dent has received pressing requests from various parts of the country that rural credits legislation be taken up at the present session. Congress is cosidering the advisability of changing the plan to put the subject over to the session next December. Chairman Glass of the house banking committed told the president that it is inadvisable to take up the subject until time has been allowed for the working out of the farm loan features of the federal banking law.

SHIP PURCHASE
 BILL COMES UP
CONGRESS DECIDES TO GC AHEAD IN SPITE OF FOR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The ad- ministration ship purchase bill was made unfinished business today by the senate but was temporarily laid aside for work on the appropriation bills The vote to consider the purchase bill was carried by forty six to twenty nine. The only democratic senator vot- ing against it was Vardaman. The bill will now probably be brought ur immediately after the appropriations have been settled although it is known that certain foreign governments ob- ject strenuously to such course by the United States owing to the fact that because of it's neutral position in the present war America can in crease by purchase it's merchant marine to such an extent as to menace the superiority of the marine com merce of other nations when peace comes again.

REPUBLICANS
 RAISE A ROW

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The re- nomination of Henry Clay Hall of Colorado as Interstate Commerce commissioner was held up by the Interstate Commerce committee of the senate today at the request of the re- publican mmbers of the senate. The reason for this action is explained by Senator Cummings who declares that the senators want to know why the commission reversed itself and grant ed increased freight rates to the eastern railroads. In spite of the rather general endorsement of the in- creases in rates there is a strong body of opinion opposed to it. The republi- cans are particularly suspicious and believe that the administration had much to do with the decision of the commission to raise the rates.
