Budapest, acknowledgements

are being bred for the Budapest ZOO
in order to save the scant ration OF
borseflesh for lions and tigers, whose
constant roaring shows the extent they
suffer from the general shortage OF
food. Eagles, vultures and the wild
birds are fed exclusively on rats. At
times when horsemeat has been unob-
tanable, goats and the less valuable
animals have been sacrificed to save
the lives of the beasts that once ruled
the jungle.
But the herbivorous animals have
also gone through hard times, as wild
chestnuts have been substituted Tor
expensive hay. They have small liz
ing for chestnuts. A herd Of ten seals
had to be killed, as no fish could be oo-
! tanned for them. The seal meat went

be done now, because the Opportu-
nifty is here and may escape us if we
hesitate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of
Porto Rico is brief and conclusive.
The present laws governing the ISL
and and regulating the rights and
privileges of it's people are not just.
We have created expectations of ex-
tended privilege which we have not
satisfied. There is uneasiness among
the people of the island and even a
suspicious doubt with regard to our
intentions concerning them which
the adoption of the pending measure
would happily remove. We do not
doubt what we wish to do in any es-
sential particular. We ought to do
it at once.
There are other matters already
advanced to the stage of conference
between the two houses of which it
is not necessary that should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen,
probably the last occasion I shall
have to address the Sixty-fourth
congress-, hope that you will permit
me to say with what genuine pleas
ure and satisfaction I have cooper
ated with you in the many measures
of constructive policy with which you
have enriched the legislative annals
of the country. It has been a priv
ilege to labor in such company. I

cry Conqueror.
Napoleon, the rough and ruthless con-
queror, considered women as of no i'm
portance in national affairs, and he
was always resentful Of their interfer-
ence. But in at least one instance of
record, as a recent writer has pointed
out, it was otherwise.
When, after the battle of Jena, Napo-
leon entered Weimar he proceeded to
the palace of the duke to make it his
headquarters. The fighting and plum
dering i'll the town were not yet over
when, toward evening, he entered the
hall. AS he did so the Duchess who
had been waiting in her apartment,
appeared at the top of the great stair
case to greet him.
"Who are you?' he demanded rough
~, in surprise.
Il am the Duchess of Weimar," she
replied, with dignity.
II pity your he cried fiercely. II am
going to crush your husbandw
The next morning when they met
again he inquired, with brusque dis
pleasure:
madame, how could your husband be
so mad as to make war against me?"
your majesty would have despised
him if he had not" was the reply.
"How 500" asked Napoleon.
my husband has been in the service
of the king of Prussia upward Of thir-
ty years." replied the duchess. "Surely
it was not at the moment that the king
had so mighty an enemy as your
majesty to contend against that the
duke could abandon him."
An answer at once so spirited, noble
and tactful softened even NapoleOn's
arrogance. In the conversation that
followed the duchess was able to secure
promises of consideration for the duke
and relief for the townspeople At the
close Of it the conqueror said to her,
MADAME, you are more worthy Of re-
spect than any woman have known.
You have saved your husband. I par
don him, but remember it is wholly on
your account. As for him, he is bad
casew e
That was merely Napoleon's opinion.
The duke, at any rate, was properly ap-
preciative Of his duchess, for when the
document that secured the independ.
ence of Weimar was brought to him
by French general he refused to tako
1t into his hands, but said simply,
"Give 1t to my wife, the emperor in
tended it for her." Youths Compan-

quaint itself with the merits of the
case as between employe and en-
ployer, time to form it's opinion up
on an impartial statement of the
merits, and opportunity to consider
all practicable means of Cancellation
or arbitration. I can see nothing in
that proposition but the justifable
safeguarding by society of the neces-
sary processes of it's very life. There
is nothing arbitrary or unjust in it
unless it be arbitrarily and unjustly
done. 1t can and should be done
with full and scrupulous regard for
the interests and liberties of all con-
cerned as we'll as for the permanent
interest of society itself.
Three matters of capital import
ance await the action of the senate
which have already been acted up
on by the house of representatives
the bill which seeks to extend great
er freedom of combination to those
engaged in promoting the foreign
commerce of the country than is
now thought by some to be legal un-
der the terms of the laws against
monopoly; the bill amending the
present organic law Of Porto Rico;
and the bill proposing more thor
ough and systematic regulation OF
the expenditure of money in elec-
lions, commonly called the corrupt
practices act. I need not labor my
advice that these measures be enacted
into law. Their urgency lies in the
manifest circumstances which render
their adoption at this time not only
opportune but necessary. Even delay
would seriously leopard the inter-
ests of the country and OF the gov
eminent.
Immediate passage of the bill to
regulate the expenditure OF money
in elections may seem to be less
necessary than the immediate enact
ment of the other measures to which
I refer; because at least two years
will elapse before another election in
which federal offices are to be filled;
but it would greatly relieve the pub
lie mind if this important matter
were dealt with while the circum-
stances and the dangers to the public
morals of the present method of OBJ
tanning and spending campaign funds
stand clear under recent observation
and the methods of expenditure can
be frankly studied in the light of
present experience, and delay would
have the further very serious disad-
vantage of postponing action until
another election was at hand and
some special object connected with
it might be thought to be in the
mind of those who urged it. Action
can be taken new with facts for
guidance and without suspicion of
partisan purpose.
I shall not argue at length the de-
STABILITY of giving a freer hand in
the matter of combined and concert
ed effort to those who shall under
take the essential enterprise of build
ing up our export trade. That en-
terprise will presently, will imme-
diately assume, has indeed already
assumed, magnitude unprecedented
in our experience. We have not the
prosecution; it is deemed to be doubt
full whether they could be created
upon an adequate scale under our
present laws. We should clear away
all legal obstacles and create basis
of undoubted law for it which will
give freedom without permitting I'M
regulated license. The thing must

This is a program of regulation,

Is alleged in a case brought before

Samuel, one charging Samuel and
Mary with unlawfuly living to-
