Next day a bomb was planted on

large number were killed or manned
by its explosion as the parade was
passing.

Two days after this speech a bomb
exploded in the home of former Sena-

ceived by Mayor Ole Hansen. of Seat
tie. Then followed the discovery of
the sixteen Internal machines in New
York and the delivery Of others.
Clues suggested by these circur-
stances now are being followed in the
systematic search being made by the
postal inspectors.
The bombs thus far discovered and
examined in the countrywide plot to
destroy prominent men with Internal
machines appear to have all the ear
marks of having been made in Ger

naval intelligence service, who today
called the attention of Department of
Justice Representatives and police Of

Explosives Discovered.
The explosive ingredients discovered
in the bombs bore a startling resem-
blance to those found in the latest
type of German mines discovered dur
ing the latter weeks of the war along
the Long Island and New Jersey
coasts.
Descriptions of the general COM
position of the bombs bear a mos,
remarkable and startling resemblance
to the new type of German mime"
said one of the naval officers. Zone
of thes mines drifted ashore al,
Moriches Bay. Long Island, and we
dismembered it. The description OF
the Internal machines found in the
mails, although smaller. of course,
tallies in evry respect with the com
position of that mine.

Major HigginSon

The passing of Major Higginson of
Boston on Saturday last is worthy of
the attention of New Englanders of
all ages and in every call of life.
Schooled in four years of the Civil
War, followed by lifetime as most
successful banker and man of affairs.
this truly great citizen in all of his
long life exemplified splendour of
devotion to his fellow man, a praeti-
cal idealism and confidence in hui
man nature which will long make him
stand out eminently among the high
est figures of American citizenship.
Major Higginson will probably be
longest remembered as founder and
patron Of the Boston Symphony Or
ehestra, to whose interests he never
faltered in his determination to make
it the greatest body of orchestral mu-
sic in the world. Secondly, he will
probably be remembered as Harvard
man, for his loyalty to the University
and for his many wise benefaetions to
her growth and good. But thirdly, he
will be remembered as practical
American, of high idealism and splen.
did purpose in accomplishment.

TREATY is KILLED BY SEN
! ATE.-The treaty Of peace with Ger
many was rejected Wednesday, night
4 by the Senate.
On the final vote, taken at 80 p.
m, on the Lodge resolution, ratifica-
ton was refused by the vote of AZ to
81.
The Senate then adjourned sine die,
and the House having taken similar
action earlier in the day, the extra SEES
sion called by President Wilson to
consider the treaty came to an end.
The Lodge resolution contained the
preamble and IA reservations agreed
upon by majority Of the Senate.
As the result of demand by Presi-
dent Wilson that the Democrats re-
ject the Lodge resolution ON the the
DRY that it was Modification" of the
treaty rather than ratification, the
minority Senators went into confer
ence and decided to defeat the resolu-
ton on the first vote.
Under the parliamentary maneuver-
ing of the Republican majority the
treaty was forced into such situation
that it cannot be again considered I'M
less the President should choose to
resubmit it to the Senate at the ses-
sion which opens December l.
If resubmitted it will again go to
the Foreign Relations Committee,
where, in all probability, it will be
held for long time, while railroad
legislation and other matters are be-
ing considered.
In the meantime, to meet the situa-
ton brought about by rejection. of the
treaty, Senator Lodge introduced just
before adjournment concurrent res
olution declaring the war with Ger
many at an end
This resolution will be taken up al
the beginning of the new session and
probably passed.
