commerce o the United States is car
ried in foreign bottoms, and main
tained that the $200,000,000 in freights
should have gone into the pockets of
Americans. The minority members
of the committee have designated
Representative 'Lucking of Michigan
to present their views, and he will
urge that instead of a commission
congress should put into forco dis
criminating tonnage and import du
ties. Representative! McDermott of
New Jersey today introduced a bill
providing that vessels owned entirely
by citizens of the United States, re
gardless of where they are con
structed, should be granted American
registry."
At the January 21 session of the
national board of trade, several reso
lutions were adopted, orfe pertaining
to the public lands of the United
States, and recommending that these
lands be held for actual settlers, was
passed. Congress was urged to pro
vide what is called the parcels post,
reciprocity, one-cent letter postage
and improvement of waterways.
Senator Clay of Georgia has intro
duced a bill to limit the jurisdiction
of the federal district and circuit
courts. The provisions of the bill are
as follows: "Be it enacted, etc., that
the district and circuit courts of the
United States shall not take and have
original cognbance of any suit of a
civil nature, either at commoD law or
in equity, between a corporation cre
ated or organized by or under the
laws of any state and a citizen-of any
state in which such corporation at
the time the cause of action accrued
may have been carrying on any busi
ness authorized by the law creating It,
except in cases arising under the pat
ent laws or copyright laws and In
like cases in which courts are author
ized to take original coguizanco of
such between citizens of the same
state; nor shall any such suit between
such corporation and a citizen or
citizens of a state in which it may be
doing business bo removed to any cir
cuit court of the United States except
in like cases In which such removal
is authorized by the existing law in
suits between citizens of the same
state; provided, that nothing herein
contained shall prevent a citizen of
another state from suing a corpora
tion in the state of its domicile; and,
provided further, that nothing in this
act shall be so construed as to affect
such cases as are ponding in the
courts of the United States at the time
this act shall take effect."
The British expedition to Thibet,
in Asia, is causing much uneasiness
among the people of that province,
and it is said that the Thibetans are
likely to show fight and will appeal to
Russia if the advance continues.
The trouble between Japan and.
Russia has served to call China's at
tention to the necessity of preserving
her claims in Manchuria, according
to recent dispatches. It is announced
that there is danger of the present
dynasty in China being deposed, un
less measures are taken to confirm
China's hold in Manchuria, and in the
case of war between Russia and Japan
China must take part in order to main
tain its integrity. It is believed, how
ever, that Japan Is really at the head,
of the group of powers who are op
posed to partition and who have
agreed together to, defend China.
The Commoner's Celebration
On Friday evening, January 22, the
employes of The Commoner celebrated
the third anniversary of the' paper's
founding, this being- in accord with a
custom established by the employes..
The celebration was held at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Bryan
and was attended by tho fifty em
ployes and tho membors of tho famil
ies of tho employes married.
The evening was spent in games and
music, and members of tho forco con
tributed to tho evening's pleasure by
recitations and solos. An hour was
spent In the singing of old songs, in
which all present joinod heartily. Just
before refreshments wero served a
letter from Mr. W. J. Bryan was
read, in which ho regretted tho in
ability of himsolf and Mrs. Bryan to
be present, but which contained his
greetings to tho employes and tho
heartfelt wish that tho pleasant rela
tions which havo existed between 'em
ployer and employes for the last
three years would be continued in tho
future.
During the evening va large supply
of kont-kob nuts, o'btained from the
steward of tho "White Star steamer
Celtic, on which vessel Mr. Bryan re
turned front Europe, was distributed
with the compliments of Mr. W. J.
Bryan. At 11 o'clock refreshments
were served, after which tho games
were resumed and continued until the
last car was hoard approaching. Tho
employes declare that each succeed
ing anniversary celebration is an im
provement over its predecessors, duo
to increasing comradrio and friendship.
Books Received.
First Aid to Injured, by F. J. War
wick, M. D.; published, by the Penn
Publishing Co., Philadelphia; price,
45 cents. This Is a really valuable
little volume, containing plain and
simple rules to bo followed in cases
of accident or emergency, as well as
in the first stages of illness. The in
formation contained may never be .ser
viceable, but, like the Texan's gun, if
ever it Is it will be wonderfully ser
viceable. Little Masterpieces of American Wit
and Humor, edited by Thomas L.
Masson; published by Doubleday,
Page & Co., New York; six volumes;
price, 75 cents per volume. Mr.
Masson's experience as editor of Life
has enabled him to present in these
six dainty volumes the very best of
the work by American wits and hu
morists. The list of American humor
ists is not over long, but it is a source
of pride to Americans that it contains
the names best known in the world's
field ' of humorous literature. Mr.
Massori's work was not to search for
material, but to select tho best of the
vast quantity offered. This work he
has done In a. most acceptable manner.
No Cause for Alarm.
"Would you take advantage of your
leap year privilege to propose to a.
man?" he asked.
"Only on one condition," sho an
swered. "If the man were worth hav
ing and I had reason to suppose that
his failure to speak was due to the
self-deprecation which so many
worthy men have, I might oh, don't
be frightened. Mr. Addlepayte, 1
haven't any particular person in mind
at all." Chicago Record-Herald.
In a Nutshell.
Tho whole truth is that the presi
dent was bent upon building the canal
across Panama to the exclusion of
Nicaragua, and the revolutionary in
cident was precisely in harmony with
his 'stubborn and tempestuous spirit.
It was more spectacular, more daring,
more Roosoveltian, than tho peaceful
process of negotiation-, and he could
not resist the temptation to become a
part of it So, he threw, precedent to
the winds, reversed his government's
policy toward secession, and imperi
ously made history for his administra
tion, and big campaign. Houston
