A London cablegram carried by
the Associated Press says: "Amid
scenes of" excitement hardly paral
leled since the Gladstonian home
rule debate's, tho house of commons
tonight by majorities of 103 record
ed its approval of Premier Asqulth's
resolutions, dealing with the veto
power of the house of lords and
heard the premier's declaration of
policy for carrying them into statu
tory effect. Before he formally in
troduced, amid loud cheers by his
supporters, his bill embodying the
resolutions, Mr. Asquith said the
government's existence depended up
on the passing of the resolutions into
law. If the house of lords failed to
accept or declined to consider their
policy the government would feel it
their duty to advise the crown as, to
what steps were necessary to insure
their policy receiving statutory ef
fect. But in no case would he ad
vise dissolution except under such
conditions as would insure that in
the new parliament the judgment of
the people as expressed at the elec
tions would be carried into law."
President Taft addressed tho na
tional convention of woman's suffra
gists at the capital. He stated his
opinion very frankly and was hissed.
The Associated Press report of this
incident says: "President Taft was
welcoming to Washington the dele
gates to the convention of the na
tional suffrage association. He had
told them frankly that ho was not
altogether in sympathy with the suf
frage movement and was explaining
why he could not subscribe fully to
its principles. He said he thought
one of the dangers in granting suf
frage to women was that the women
as a whole were not Interested in it,
and that the power of the ballot as
far as woman is concerned would be
controlled by the 'less desirable
class.' When the words fell from
the president's lips, the walls of the
hall echoed a ohorus of feminine
hisses. It was no feeble demonstra
tion of protest. The combined hisses
sounded as if a valve on a steam
engine had broken. President Taft
stood unmoved during the demon
stration of hostilities for the his
sing continued, but a moment and
then smiling as he spoke, he an
swered the, unfavorable greeting with
this retort: 'Now my dear ladies,
you must show yourselves capable of
suffrage by exercising that degree of
restraint which is necessary in the
conduct of government affairs by not
hissing.' The women who hissed
were rebuked. The president's reply
apparently had taken hold. There
were no more hisses while the presi
dent continued his address, which
he characterized as 'my confession,'
on the woman suffrage question."

ment concerning the Philippine land
scandal. Mr. MaTtin's statement
follows: "If there was ever any
doubt about the necessity of an in

is removed by the disclosures made
by the war department in response
to my resolution of inquiry. I
learned three days ago that the war
department had furnished Chairman
Olmsted of the insular committee
what purported to be the informa

I requested Mr. Olmstead to let me
see it. This he refused. I wanted
to see this matter before it was re
ported to the house because I knew
that it would be accompanied with
a motion to table my resolution as
having served its purpose, thereby
shutting off debate and preventing
a further airing of the matter on the
