"fihaktpere and Ills Forerunners." atudlea
In Elizabethan poetry and Its development
from early English by Sidney Ianler, la oue
of the latest publications. The work la
published by Doubleday, Page AV Co. In
two large and handsome volumes, contatn
. lng 800 pages, and profusely Illustrated
with portralta. facsimiles, title pages and
11 aorta of Interesting pictorial matter
that help to give the reader the fee'lng
and color of those ancient times. The
author's aim here Is to present Shakspero
aa the crowning glory and culmination of
the moat marvelous literary effloreaence tho
world haa known. In order to do this ade
quately ha glvea first a most suggestive
survey of the beginnings of English poetry
and what It had become when the marvel
ous uiixaDetnan Age carried It to un
dreamed of helghta. and then, after elab
orate treatment of the aonnet wrltera from
Surrey to Shakapere, he takea up In detail
the study of the man, William Shakspere,
the social Ufa which surrounded him. and
his mental and spiritual evolution aa shown
by the growth of hla art. From the exist
ing evidence and the "relation of man to
hla fellow man" In the varloua plays Mr.
Lanier constructs a probable sequence and
grouping of the great master's -work which
bears largely upon Its face the story of the
man's own Ufa struggle and mighty con
quest of himself. Much of the best prose
work Mr. Lanier left Is contained In these
two volumes.
The remarkable record made thla last
season by Scrlbner booka la still further
attested by the market reports In the Feb
ruary Bookman, which show that, of the
fifteen extremely successful bocks In the
east in December, five had the Scrlbner
Imprint, while six Scribner books sppear
In ths list of seventeen which were most
successful in the west. No other one pub
Usher had more than two books In this
eastern list, nor more than three In the
western list. The Scrlbner books appearing
In both esatern and western lists were
Henry van Dyke's "The Blue Flower," F.
Hopklnson Smith's "The Fortunes of Oliver
Horn," Thomss Nelson Page's "A Captured
Santa Claus," James W. Barrle'a "The Lit
tls Whits Bird" and Richard Harding Da
rts'a "Captain Macklln." The additional
book making the western list was James
Whltcomb Rtlev's "The Book of Jovoua
Children." "The Blue Flower," by the way,
stood aecond la the eastern list and third
in ths western Hat.
"Ths Papal Monarchy," by William Barry.
D. D., belongs to the aeriea called "The
Story of Nationa" and covers the period
from St. Gregory ths Great to Bonlfacs
VIII. Dr. Barry's survey of the papal
monarchy to the death of Boniface VIII
with which ths middle ages may be said
to closs, fills so serious a gap In English
historical libraries that students might be
very grateful to him even 'were ths work
much less able than It Is. But he has given
us a marvel of accurate Information and
of comprehensiveness. No mere compila
tion la it, but a well-considered and ad'
mlrably written book of permanent value,
Its readers and critics, however, would do
well to keep In mind ths author's words
In ths preface: "Not ths pops as a teacher,
but ths pops as a ruler of men. In affairs
which may be viewed under a secular
well as a religious aspect, will furnish
the matter of my volume." Of course. It Is
open to doubt whether ths effort to keep
to thla restricted plan Is not an attempt
at ths Impossible. But the book as It
standa Is a tour de force. Ha compresses
ths history of a vsst period Into about 4S0
' pagea, and deala with It not In general
terma, but in detail; yet the reault la no
arid waste of facta. He has enlivened tho
waste by vivid portraiture and by dramatic
arrangement. Published by O. P. Putnam's
Son.
Another notable addition has been made
to tho attractive aeries of posters taaued
by- D. Appleton and Company since the be
ginning of ths year. This Is being used In
connection with "Millionaire Households
and their Domestic. Economy," by Mary E.
Carter. Ths poster la an elaboration of
ths cover design by .Margaret Armstrong,
and la printed In' gold snd copper bronie I
and green and peacock-blue inks, giving a I
rich effect. The design Itself represents
two golden peacocka facing each o'.her on
ths branches of a grape vine, while their
beautiful plumage falls around ths title
"Millionaire Households." Bunches of
grapes and grape leavea complete the or
namentation. The book Itself Is unique.
Miss Carter has managed the households
of many large eatsbliahmenta, and her ob
servations will bs of value not only to
those whose advancing fortunes have out
stripped their social opportunities, but also
to thosa who with ons or two servants
desire to make a little go a long, way.
"Ths Winning of Sarenne," by St. Clair
Beall, la a romance full of Interest from
cover to cover. Well written and clsver,
- the story haa much that many of the popu
lar romantic novels of lata have lacked
Ths story tells how a young nobis won
back . his city which bad been usurped
by a friend of hia father'a. It Is full of
fighting (but the fights sre possible), full of
secret passagea of tbe kind that one aeea

eyes. The pupil la shown how to present
these subjec's clearly and Interestingly
by hla analyala and Imitation of models

Thla analysis Is carried on by the making

MORGAN OPPOSES TREATY
G'.iet Notice of Thirty Amendments to
Canal Protocol.
WOULD ABSOLUTELY CHANGE DOCUMENT
Adda Sew Provisions, Glvlnsi Panama
and Colon to Inlted States nnd
Allowing Arqalaltloa of
Territory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. The senate
went Into executive session today aoon
after meeting, but some rountlne business
was first transacted.
A bill was passed providing that any
secrnd lieutenant In the marine corps who
was appointed a second lleutensut of ar
tillery since February 2. 1&01, shall re
ceive credit for prlcr service ss a lleuun
ant of volunteers.
Mr. McComas (Md ) gave notice 'hat he
would call til the eight-hour bill at the
earlleat opportunity, which brought from
Mr. Quay (Pa.) the statement:
"L'ntll the senator from Maryland and
thoae obstructionists behind hlra conaent
to fixing a day when a vote tan la taken
on the atatehood bill, I shall oppose any
action on the eight-hour bill."
At 12:26 the senate went Into executive
aesslon.
Morgan Speaks of Herniations.
After the confirmation of a number of
nominationa and refusing to reopen the
Alaskan boundary question, consideration
of the Panama canal treaty was begun.
Senator Morgan (Ala.) Immediately urged
that the treaty be amended In many re-
pecta, promising to oppose It unless so
mended.
He directed special attention to the fail
ure to embody the act of congress provid
ing for the construction of the canal in
the treaty and dwelt at length on what he
termed the unreliability and revolutionary
haracter of the government. He asserted
that the price which the t'nlted States had
agreed to pay waa exorbitant. He also
criticized the provision for a perpetual an
nual payment of $250,000 and declared that
In all probability much of theae paymenta
would go Into the pocketa of Individuals,
In this connection, he declared that a re
cent chief executive of the Colombian gov
ernment had sold out and abdicated for
1.000.000.
He declared It would be foil to rnnkn the
payment of $47,000,000 depend ou so un
substantial an Institution as tho Colombian
congress, especlslly In view of the chronic
insurrectionary condition or ;ne people.
Senator Morgan gave notice of thirty pro
posed amendments to the treaty, the most
mportsnt being:
1. Providing for the ownership or tne

WHITE HOUSE TOO COSTLY
Vote for Executive Mansion Leads to
Severe Strictures la Home of
Representatives.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. 12. The
house made slow progress with the sundry
civil bill today, covering only 27 pages
and leaving 40 pages still to be disposed
of. The delays today were occasioned by
a rather protracted discussion of tbe item
for the maintenance of the White Houae
and considerable debate upon the ap
propriation of $2,000,000 for ths relief of
distress In tbe Philippines.
Mr. Oalnes, (Tenn.) and Mr. Fitzgerald,'
(N. T.) criticised the greatly Increased
cost of maintaining the White House:
An amendment to cut In half the ap
propriation for the relief of distress In ths
Philippines was defeated but the language
of the paragraph was modified to require
snnual reports concerning expenditure.
The conference report on ths bill to
create a general stall in .ths army, was
adopted.
After aome further routine business, the
house went into committee of the whole
and resumed consideration of the sundry
civil bill.
When ths Hem appropriating $60,000 for
the care of the executive mansion waa
reached, Mr, Galnea, (Tenn.) asked why
this appropriation hrd been Increased from
$26,000.
Mr. Cannon, (III.) replied by calling at
tention to tbe enlargement of the White
House and the construction of tbe new
executive offices. These cbsnges, be said,
Incressed ths expenses.
Mr. Gslnes quoted the report of Colonel
Bingham to substantiate a claim, but the
Increased expenses st the White House
were due to ths large amount of enter
taining dona by the president. He did not
believe the peopls should bs tsxed for
these entertainments. He was sorry
$tt0,000 had been spent to remodel the
old White Housa.
Mr. Cannon, in reply, was glad the old
Whits House had been overhauled, but
confeaaed that the new executive offices
had disappointed him. "I think," said he,
"we were entitled to a better building tor
the money."
Mr. Kttigersld. (N. Y.) referred to a
newspaper report that Colonel Blnghsm'a
transfer had been due to hla holding up
certain vouchera In connection with the
White Houae Improvements.
"Will not the gentleman stats that Col
onel Blnghsm ssys he was transferred at
hla own request?" asked Mr. Graham
(Pa).
"Ob." replied Mr. Fitzgerald, "it la tbe
common thing for offlcera whoae future
Is in tbe service, to make atatementa ex
onerating their superiors. But In my
opinion. It reflects upon tbe president of
ths United States to have it intimated
that an officer la being coerced into ap
proving expenditures his Judgment does
not sanction."
Mr. Cochran (Mo.) Inveighed agalnat ths
growing extravagance In official circles
ths conatant demand for Increased salaries
sbd allowances. Hs described official fune
tlons sa an attempt to Imitate court clrclea
abroad. Poor men could not accept po
sitions In the cabinet or on tbe bench
because of the social expenaea entailed
and he thought that was sn argument for
a returning to ths simpler methods of
olden days.
Mr. Simnis (Tenn.) denomlnsted ths
executive office ss a "hen coop," which
would invlts the attack of anarchists.
An smendment, offered by Mr. Gaines
ta reduce th appropriation front $60,000
to 140.000, was voted down wlbout di
vision. The appropriation of I3.noo.0on for the
relief of the distress In the Philippines
coming tip, Mr. Jonre (Va.l moved to re
duce the vote from J3.0oo.noo to ll.Soo.noo.
Mr. Robinson l!nd.) thnught If there
waa necessity for relieving the distress
In the Philippines the money should be
loaned, not donated.
After aome debate by Messrs. Williams
(III.). Crumpacker (Ind.). and others. Mr.
Jones' amendment was voted down, 21 to
5.
At 8:15 the house adjourned.

DEADWOOD, S. D.. Feb. 12. (Special.)
The February term of circuit court for
tbe Eighth Judicial circuit of South Da
kota, la in session at Deadwood, and the
grand jury Is at work."'
There are aeveral criminal assault cases
to be considered by the grand jury, in
which a number of well known men are
Involved, and sensational developments sre
looked for. The arrests were made several
months sgo, snd the principals were re
leased under bonds. It is expected that
the bonds of a number will be forfeited, as
the men have left the country, and their
bondsmen have been trying for several
weeka to locate tbem. The girl tn the
case Is only 14 years old, and the Women's
Christian Temperance Union of Deadwood
has taken up the case to assist In the pros
ecution. If Albert Turner, charged with the mur
der of E. M. Dunlap at Lead, la returned
from Nebraska In time to be given a bear
ing before 'the grand Jury adjourns, it Is
probable he will be indicted. Otherwise
the case may go over until the next grand
jury assembles.
Next Monday the petit Jury will report
and the civil calendar will be taken up.
The famous flour bin case from Spearflsh
will be tried, and will probably be tho
most Important civil cauae to be heard.
This is a case wherein the Bank of Spear

prominent citizens of Spesrflsb to Messrs.
Camp It Cross for patent rights. Csmp 4
Cross sold the notes to the bank, and pay
ment waa resisted on the ground that fraud
had been practiced In obtaining the notes.
The caae waa tried here two years sgo and
tho court Instructed the Jury to return a
verdict for the bank. The case was ap
pealed and a new trial was ordered by tbe
supreme court.
