oLD-TIME GIANTS IN SENATE
Statesmen Of a Generation Ago, Re-
markabIe for Their BriIllaney,
Have Passed.

A generation ago the senate held
a picturesque group of history build
ers, writes Francis E. Leupp in the
Atlantic. 1t included Conkling, who
daily reserved his appearance in the
chamber till the other senators were
seated and the scene set, and whose
majestic march down the middle
aisle reminded one of the entrance
of the king in a Shakesperean
drama; Blaine, who had only to rise
for perfunctory motion in order
to smite the galleries with spell of
expectant silence and capture the
eyes of his colleagues; Hamlin, in
eyes of his colleagues; Hamlin, in his
association with the memory of Lin
coin seemed to draw the great war
wonderfully near; Edmunds and
Hoar, conserving, in their range of
thought and speech, the best tradi-
tons Of New England statesman
ship; Hampton and Bayard, exhal-
ing the flavor of the old South; Da-
vid Davis, who twice had held the
fate of the country in his hand !;
Chandler and Ingalls, and Malone,
guerrilla fighters but powers in their
way; Allison and Cockrell, Sanders
and Gordon, VOORHEES, and Hawley
and Hill, and dozen others whose
names and stories were household
words from one end of the United
States to the other.

GRAMOPHONE USED ON STAGE
They Arc Useful to Simulate Roar Of
Animals and tho Shouts
Of Mobs.

The utility of the gramophone has
not been overlooked by the modern
stage manager, London Answers
states. Instead of employing a dozen
or so hoarse scene shutters to stand
in the wings and simulate the roar
of an angry mob he turns on a gram
ophone with an appropriate record,
and the effect is ten times better.
Sir Herbert Tree, in some of his
big spectacular productions, largely
employs the talking machines. Bands
of music, the joyous pealing of bells
and the shouts of an excited crowd
have all been reproduced in this
manner at his theater.
Some time ago a piece having an
Indian setting was produced in Lon
don. The 'laugh" of the hyena was
required to be heard "off." 1t was
of no use to hire four-footed per-
former from the geological gardens,
because there was no guaranty that
his sense of humor would be awak-
ened at the required moment each
night. So, we were told, an expedi-
ton, armed with gramophone, was
sent to the ZOO to capture a peal of
the hyena's elusive and mysterious
mirth.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 23.-Americar

announced yesterday, have been giver
orders to return vigorously any further
deliberate firing" from the Mexican side
of the border.
General Pershing, in command at E
Paso, has reported that the firing which
resulted late Tuesday in the death Of ar

Policies

Hot Springs, Va, Dec. 23.--Presideni
Wilson confirmed yesterday Col. Il. M
Houses statement that the latter's mis-
sion to Europe was not one of peace.
The president admitted he knew OF
the plan Of Col House to visit Europe
before he left Washington and that the
latter had no intention of bearing peace
messages.
The president would make no other
comment.
| 1t was understood the president will
make no peace advances of any kind
until he receives further intimations
that they would be welcome.
Washington, d. G., Dec. 23--Inability
on the part of the American ambassa-
doris and minister in the various bellig-
erent capitals of Europe to understand
the general policy of the United States
toward the numerous issues raised dur
ing the war, is understood on reliable
authority to be the real reason for the
sending OF Col Il. NJ. House on a Sc
eret mission abroad.
On high authority at the state depart
ment il was learned yesterday that the
difficulties of cable communication be-
tween this country and the foreign cap
capitals and the uncertainties between
the entente capitals and those Of the
central powers had caused the depart
ment much trouble. 1t has been inn
possible, for example, TO aequaint Am
bassador Page at London with the me-
gotiations being carried ON by Ambas-
sador Gerard in Berlin and vice versa.
Armed with thorough outline of the
American policy toward all the bellig-
erents, Col. House win visit each capi-
tai and confer with the American diplo-
mat there.
On his return to the United States
he viii have complete resume Of what
each diplomat has accomplished or at
tempted TO accomplish toward settle
ment OF the serious questions pending.
This, it is said, lis the primary object
of Col. Houses trip. 1t has nothing to
do with any peace moves or with the
of information concerning the
methods employed by the various bel
ligerents to carry on the war.
That Col. House may obtain valuable |
concerning the timeliness of /
fresh peace negotiations is admitted. But |

this purpose.

New Ancona Note Is Friend
ly but as Firm as
First
WILL NOT DEBATE
ORIGINAL DEMANDS
Belief Softer Tone Will Per-
NIT Austria to Yield
Without Resentment

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 23.--Presiden
Wilson's reply to the Austrian note OF
the sinking of the Ancona was mad
public here yesterday at noon, In i
the United States serves notice on Aus
tria;
|. That 1t will not discuss the circum
stances of the sinking of the Ancons
or the legality of the submarine at
tack.
2. That it will not furnish Austria
with bill of particulars.
3. That this government feels obliged
to renew the demands made upon Austria
in its first note.
To these items in the note the United
States adds another plain intiination
that refusal to yield on the part OF
Austria will mean the breaking off Of
diplomatic relations !.
/. Denunciation of the sinking of the
Ancona.
2. Punishment of the submarines COM
mander responsible.
8. Reparation by the payment OF a
money indemnity.
Means "Yield or Break"
On the note made public yesterday
depends whether Austria shall continue
to have diplomatic relations with the
United States. The note has been de-
livered to the foreign office in Vienna,
but as yet no definite indication has
reached Washington as to whether or
not 'ustria win yield.
While the note given out yesterday is
not an ultimatum in the true sense OF
the word, because it imposes no time
limit, it clearly conveys an impression
of fnality which is expected to pre-
vent any further attempt at discus
sion unless Austria should see fit to
repudiate the statement of her admir-
atty, upon which the entire case OF the
United States is based.
Taken as a whole this governments
second note to Austria is mlder than
the first. 1t is free from such express
sions as "barbarous," "abhorrent," "wan-
ton slaughter" and outrage" which
characterized the first communication
and which were largely responsible for
the deep feeling that was aroused in
Austria and Hungary.
The United States in the second note,
while yielding not an iota as regards its
demands and the principles involved, has
obviously made an effort TO soften the
tone of its communication. I
This is regarded by the presidents ad-
visers as wise move. The state de-
rsrtment has been informed that the
sharp, harsh character of the first note
made il impossible for Austria to yield
without deep humiliation. The officials
Of the state department saw, too, that
a reteration of the offensive words

used in the first note, would not only
add to the strength Of the United States
position, but would be certain further
to inname the Austrian people.
| The second Aneona note is.
| You are instructed to address note
i to the Austro- Hungarian minister of
foreign affairs, textually as follows:
"The government Of the United States
has received the note of your excellency
relative to the sinking of the Ancona,
which was delivered at Vienna on Dec.
El5, 1915, and transmitted to Washing
| ton, and has given the note immediate
and careful consideration.
"0n Nov. Is, 1915, Baron Zwiedenek,
the charge d'affaires Of the imperial and
royal government at Washington trans
mitted to the department of state a
report of the Austro- Hungarian admir-
atty with regard to the sinking of the
steamship Ancona, in which it was adj
mitted that the vessel was torpedoed
after her engines had been stopped and
when passengers We're still on board.
"This admission alone is, in the view
of the government Of the United States,
sufficient to fix upon the commander of
the submarine which fired the torpedo
the responsibility for having wilfully vio-
lated the recognized law OF nations and
entirely disregarded those humane prin-
ciples which every belligerent should OBJ
serve in the conduct Of war at sea.
'sIn view Of these admitted circum-
stances the government OF the United
States feels justified in holding that the
details Of the sinking of the Ancona, the
weight and character Of the additional
testimony corroborating the admiraltyis
report and the number of Americans
killed or injured are in no way essential
matters of discussion The culpability
of the commander is in any case estab-
lished, and the undisputed fact is that
citizens Of the United States were killed,
injured or put in jeopardy by his lawless
act.
"The rules of international law and !
the principles of humanity which were
thus wilfully violated by the comman-
der of the submarine have been 80 long |
and so universally recognized and are SO
from the standpoint of right |
and justice that the government of the
United States does not feel called upon |
TO debate them and does not understand |
that the imperial and royal government
questions or disputes them.
1.-THE government Of the United States
therefore finds no other course open to
t TO hold the imperial and royal govern
nent responsible for the act of its naval
and to renew the definite
but respectful demands made in its
of the 9th OF December,
.9l5.
1T sincerely hopes that the foregoing
statement of its position will enable the
imperial and royal government to per-
Give the justice of those demands and
o comply with them in the same spirit
# frankness and with the same concern
or the good relations now existing be-.
ween the United States and Austria

nent Of the United States to make
