Improved tho Opportunity,

The Empress Eugene had long en-.
treated Napoleon III. to confer upon
Rosa Bonheur the cross Of the Legion
Of Honor. He had refused because he
did not wish to found a precedent for
bestowing It upon woman. Being
called across the border into Spain, Ma

advantage Of her authority to confer
the honor upon the great artist. Napo.

SHIP BILL DEFEAT
. RELIEF T0.C0UNTRY
Senator Lodge Says Wilson
Sought to Buy German
Ships. 59.
LEsTFNE

WASHINGTON, March 10.-sena.
tor Lodge of Massachusetts, made a
statement pointing out that the sue.
cesses of the fight against the ship
purchase bill meant to the country.
Senator Lodge gave 1t as his opinion
that the defeat of President Wilson'S
project has relieved the country from
a grave danger-has In fact prevent.
ed a situation which would have in.
evitably brought the United States to
the verge Of war"
Here Is Senator, Lodges statement:
1.-THE contest which closed with the
defeat OF the ship purchase Dill was
the severest that have ever known
since I have In Washington. The
opponents of the bill won because the
bill was both, bad and dangerous and
had practically no support In the coun.
try and no genuine support in Con.
gress.
sit was defeated by debate and mar.
liamentary obstruction. The last
time that these weapons were used
against a measure except in very
small way was twenty-five years ago
in the case of the repeal OF the act for
the purchase Of silver, In 1893 the
resistance to the repeal OF the silver
act failedi
The Distinction.
This time the resistance OF SINH.
lar character to the ship purchase bill
succeeded. Debate and parliamentary
obstruction continuing for two months
failed In 1893 because there was real
majority in the Senate determined "a
pass the bill. The same methods sue,
ceeded against the ship purchase bill
because It never had a real majority
behind ii. N
"Those opposed TO the bill in the
Senate came from both parties and
different among themselves as to de
tails Of the question, but they were ali
united against the bill. They were
united on principle and not for party
or personal reasons.
"They Won very great victory
The intention, II the bill had passed,
was to buy the German ships impris
oned In our ports to avoid capture. OIL
this fact there can be no doubt and
the refusal to put in a clause prohib
'sthS tHe putGudbe OIL DelllgeFent own
cd shops which might have passed the
bill demonstrated It.
Relief for the Country.
Therefore the defeat Of The bill has
relieved the country OF a great danger,
but 1t has done something more than
this although the escape from interna.
tional danger overshadows all else.
"The defeat OF the ship purchase bill
is a blow to President Wilson'S plan OF
making Congress the mere registry OF
the Executive will. That has been the
system Of Mexico and it Is a great ser.
vice TO have checked this Mexicaniza.
tion of our Government In ai least one
instance.
"The defeat OF the bill is also a blow
to the pledge bound system which en-.
ables a minority OF Congress, but little
more than one third OF the whole body
to control legislation by coerced ma.
jority. A victory which has brought
such results as this was wosSh all the
toll and strain which were necessary
for its achievement"
