amendment aimed to equalize the vot-
ing power Of this country and Great

garded by many as an index of the
fate awaiting the more than two score

amendment, it is said, understands ac-
ton will not be taken on it until his
return from his present speaking

months, while the president spent
seven months with it, while the Euro
pean and Asiatic powers pieced their
secret agreements together as the basis
