 Favored by Royalty.
 Sir Douglas also has been known as Il royal fay0rite. His wife, Lady Haig, was Miss Dorothy Vivian, favorite maid of honor of Queen Alexandra. The nte King Edward as Il special mark of favor to Sir Douglas not only permitted the marriage ceremony to he performed ill Buckingham palace but attended in person with Queen Alexan- dra and aftcrward gave luncheon in honor of the bridal pair.

 Sir Douglas was in command of the attacking forces of the British at the battle of Neuve Chapelle. which, be ginning as brilliant success for the British. was transformed into some thing very near Il disaster by the break down of the organization. the failure of reserves to get up and general con fusion. which resulted in the sheling of their own men by British artillery.

 Sir John French. however. in his re- port took great pains to absolve Sir Douglas of all blame for these blun ders, saying: Il am of the opinion that this delay Qn getting up reserves and strengthening out the disordered regi ments. which proved fatal to the further advance of the British) would not have occurred had the clearly ex. pressed order of the general officer commanding the first army been more carefully observed"
 A little later in his report. moreover Sir John said: 'I consider that the able and skilful dispositions which were made by the general officer com manding the first army contributed largely to the defeat of the enemy and to the capture of his position. The en ergy did vigor with which Sir Douglas Haig handled his command show him to be leader of great ability and Iower."

NO ATTEMPTS YET At
FREAK LEGISLATION

Special to The Daily Leader
Oklahoma City, Jan. q. One of the
hopeful signs in the present legisla-
ture is the market disparity in the
number of bills being introduced this
session and the one two years ago
On the tenth legislative day in the
senate two years ago LAG bills had
been introduced On the same legis-
lative day this year rs had been in
trodueed. just half as many as at
the preceding legislature, which last
ed five months. In the house two
years ago 1884 bills had been intro
duced; this year 1863. Many Of the
bills treat of the same subject and
not one measure has yet reached the
legislative hopper that might proper
ly be called an attempt at freak leg
islation. There has been also an
equally marked disparity in the num-
Der and the length of speeches made
in both houses. The senate has gone
so far as to limit the length of al
speech on any one measure to twenty
minutes, and no senator may speak
on 4. single proposition more than
once.

IRON BUSINESS ACTIVE

All records for early iron ore move
ment from lower lake ports to fur
naces. over the Pittsburg, Bessemer &
Lake Erie railroad, were broken last
week when an average OF 1000 cars
was maintained out OF Conneaut har-
Dor. All the railroads motive power is
expected 10 be in use within ten days.
and arrangements have been complet-
ed, according TO railroad officials, to
secure number of locomotives from
the Chicago e. Eastern Illinois rail-
road
IL is said that when the season Is
i'm full swing forty ore trains day
will be handled over that road.
This condition was forecast to some
extent by the fact that the ore ship
ments from this end OF the lakes dur
ing April were very much greater than
in April OF year ago. In fact, IL Is
claimed. few seasons have seen so
much ore shipped east before May l..
During April of this year, 396,2S7 tons
OF ore were sent forward from Du-
Superior 90 Two Harbors docks
as against S6.SS6 tons a year ago, and
the shipments have kept up almost as
briskly ever since Large ore fleets
have sailed from this harbor almost
daily for Lake Erie ports.
II has been stated in the East that
the decision recently made by the in
terstate commerce commission reduc-
ing the freight rate on ore from the
Mesaba range from sixty 10 hfty-hvc
cents a ton would ietard early ship
ments. However that prediction does
not seem to be coming true. for ore has
been going out at lively rate.
II is now claimed more emphatically
than ever that the ore shipping will
far surpass last year. Some believe
that fully 10000 900 tons more than
last years shipments will go East dur
ing the present season The chief ac-
tivity Just now is in the Pittsburgh
fleet. but others are also pretty well
occupied
