ROM E. Dec. 4.-The Infant crown prince i
of Italy was baptised at the Quirinal oday. j
Tha weather was showery, but this did not
prevent a great crowd from gathering at
tha palace to wltneaa the passage of the I
carriages with their distinguished occu- I
pants, ine oruiroom oi mn vun mm.
had been transformed Into a chapel, wai
beautifully decorated. The altar stood at
the end of the room with six Immense j
golden candlesticks and a crucifix In the
center. Above the altar was a picture,
.hlch had been taken from the Quirinal
chapel representing the nativity of tha
Madonna nnd Child. Above this was a bal
cony for tha court quintet. On either slda
of the steps leading to the altar were three
pyramids of exquisite white flowers joined
together by garlands of the same blos
som. The space between the windows
was banked with flowers, making a per
fect bower.- Before the altar were rows of
glided chairs. On the left of the altar was
a box (or the Princesses Yolande and Mu
falda, and for other children of the court.
Under this. In red brocade, with palms,
waa another box for diplomats whose coun
tries had sent royal representatives, such
as Great Britain, Oermany, Portugal and
Servla. The diplomats from other coun
tries were not Invited. Opposite this box
and on the other side of the altar was a
box for wearers of the collars of the an
nuzlata. who rank as cousins of the king.
Enter Young Prince.
Whan all the guests had assembled six
teen canons and the court chaplain, Men-
is nor Beccarla, entered professionally.
taking their places at the altar. Imme- i
dlately after the appearance of the clergy I
the doors of the private apartments of the
palace were opened to allow the royal
cortege, headed by the master of cere
monies and the prefect of the palace, to
pass. Countess Bruschl-Falgarl, lady-ln-waltlng,
curried the crown prince In an ex
quisite lace embroidery robe and lying on a
lace pillow.
With the king and queen were the
Prince of Montenegro dressed as a go-pa-dor,
with a . rich Montenegrin costume,
and his three daughters, Princess Helen of
.treat grandmother' of the Crown Frlncei j
Prince, Albert of Prussia. Prince Arthur j
of. Connaught. Prince Victor Napoleon. ;
tha Duke of Genoa, the Count of Turin j
and others.
The spectacle was magnificent In tho
extreme. All the women present, Includ
ing those of the royal party, were dressed
In white, with creamy lace veils bn their
heads, their persons glittering with Jewels,
the uniforms of the diplomatic and mili
tary representatives giving an added tone
of color. The effect was heightened by
the exquisite music of a quintet.
Ceremony la Picturesque.
The baptismal ceremony was most pic- j
turcsque. Countess Bruschl-Falgarl came ;
slowly with tho Infant, which was taken ,
.by the queen, who advanced before tho '
altar. At the same time the king stepped
to tha box occupied by the royal children
and lifted out the Princesses Yolandl and
Mufalda, whom he kept beside him during i
the entire ceremony, which they watched j
with wide-eyed Interest. Dowager Queen
Margherlta, the godmother, and Prince
Nicholas of Montenegro, the godfather,
stood on either side of the queen and the
Infant with one hand on the Crown Prln-
ces' shoulder and a lighted candle In the
other. The ceremony lasted fifteen mln- j
utes and ths Crown Prince behaved splen-
dldly, his only outcry being when he felt
the holy water upon his forehead.
After tha ceremony King Victor Emman
uel kissed his little son and the queen
mad tha round of the room to show the
Crown Prince to everybody. Then, with
deep bows to the altar and assembly, the
royal party retired.
The Informal reception after the baptism
was shortened on account of the grave
Illness of the Duchess of Aostu. Ths mem
bers of the royal family had been In
formed by the Duke of Aosta of his wife's
serious condition. The duke has ordained
three days of prayer In the royal church
at Turin, at which he will assist person
ally. Cardinal Rlchelmy, archbishop of
Turin, has ordered that special prayers
be offered In all the churches of his
archdiocese for . the recovery of the
duchess.

PROTECTION FOR CHILD LIFE

I-ONDON, Dee. i (Specbil Cablgram to
The Ree.) General approval la expressed
of the new mayor of Hurtder-fhld's "(heme
I for preventing the sacrifice of Infantile life
fry giving a bonus of 1 on every chill In
Long-wood, born during hi year of office,
which aurvlves Its first twelve month of
existence.
The promissory note, which beautifully
printed lh gold and colors, In to be given
to every Long wood mother who adds to
the population up to November 2X, 19u5.
recites this striking fact:
"For every baby fed on Its mother's
milk who dies before the age of three
months fifteen babies die who have been
fed by other meant." In the Dally Mall
of October 22 last. Prof. Long, writing on
"The. Sacrifice of Ruble," said:
"There Is no baby food like the milk
of a healthy mother, and If mothers woul 1
reed their own children Instead of weaning
them and resorting to substitutes we
should no longer hear of the amazing
death rates."

factories. Therefore, the second object of
Mr. Broad bent Is to diffuse certain broad
prlncplp, a to tne ar,,nr.ai feeding of
children. One of the rules of the bonus
card, for Instance, warns mothers "never
to give the baby bread or sops or gravy
or any food but milk till It Is 7 months
old." Strict adherence to this rule alone
would. In the opinion of an' eminent doctor,
reduce Infantile mortality BO per cent.
Hardly a day passes without n Inquest on
some poor babe at which the mother com
placently argues that It was well fed, as
It "had everything we had."
It has been said that the mayor of Hud
derstleld has borrowed the Idea of a bonus
from the commune of Vllliers le Due. Cote
d'Or, of which M. Morel de Vllliers Is doc
tor and mayor.
Of 823 children born In this small com
mune between 1880 and 1H93, 183 died In
their first year or nearly one child out of
four. M. Morel de Vllliers was appointed
mayor In 1S84, and all the children born In
the commune during the last ten years
are alive and happy. Why? Because the
mayor made regulations under a min
isterial decree Issued in May, 1S94. which
deal In a commonsense way with the life
of the child and the mother before It Is
born. The medical and monetary assist-
ance given to poor mothers comes from
municipal fund.
It la not possible for the mayor of Hud-
derafleld to go as far officially, but his
plan of unofficially showing a civic Interest
In infant life has In It the germs of great
success.

CONGRESS CONVENES TODAY
Masiage of President Not t Be Delivered
Until Tuesday Moraing.
NO BUSINESS OF. IMPORTANCE THIS WEEK
Senate Will Adjourn Today Out of
Respect to Memory of Members
Who Have Died Since
Adjournment.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. Little In the way
of legislative business Is expected the tirst
week of the session of congress. The flrst
day will be devoted to calling the roll and
swearing In new members who have been
elected to fill vacancies. The usual com
mittee will be appointed to Inform the
president that congress is In session and
the resolution notifying the senate that a
quorum of the house Is ready for business
will be passed. Tuesday the president's
message will be read, but It Is not expected
that any other business will be transacted.
There arc a number of minor matters of
legislation which may be considered on
Wednesday and on Thursday, as no special
order has been made for consideration of
any general measure. It Is possible that
the legislative, executive and Judicial ap
propriation bill may be reported Wednesday
or Thursday.
Friday is pension day and there will be
more than a thousand private pension bills
ready for the house to consider.
Early adjournments each day are ex
pected during the flrst week In order to
give time to shape the session business.
An Intlmntlon hns been given that ob
jection may be Interposed against ad
ministering the oath of office to J. Thomas
Hefiln, who has been elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Represen
tative Thompson of the Fifth Alabama dis
trict, on account of certain language Hefiln
Is alleged to have used regarding the presi
dent of the United States. In case objec
tion Is made there Is no doubt there will
be a spirited party debate which would oc
cupy considerable time.
Business In Senate.
The first act of the senate after conven
ing tomorrow will be one of respect to the
memory of two distinguished senators
whose deaths have occurred since the ad
journment of congress. Senator Penrose,
Immediately after the senate Is called to
order, will announce Senator Quay's de
mise and then will give way to Senator
Lodge to perform a like service In the case
of Senator Hoar. Adjournment for the day
will follow at once and will postpone re
ceipt of the president's annual message
until Tuesday. That document will be re
ceived early Tuesday and very little If any
further business beyond Its reading and the
Induction Into office of Messrs. Knox of
Pennsylvania and Crane of Massachusetts.
For the remainder of the week exceed
ingly brief sessions are expected. On
Thursday an adjournment will be taken
until the following Monday.
Senator Lodge will press the house bill
for the amendment of the Philippine gov
ernment law as soon as It Is practicable
to get that measure before the senate and
has announced his Intention not to brook
opposition to Its consideration. The bill ha
the vast advantage' of being on'-the Salen-'
dnr as unfinished business, so that It can
not easlly.be dlsplnced. It Is not probable,
however, that Mr. Lodge now will attempt
more with-reference to It than to give no
tice of his Intention, to press, Its adoption.
Before the close of the session last spring.
Senator Hoar gave notice that on next
Tuesday he would call up the bill provid
ing means for the protection of the presi
dent, but owing to the death of the senator,
consideration of the bill will be deferred
for some time. Senator Heyburn gavo
notice last session that he would call up
the pure food bill next Thursday, but whllo
It Is generally understood that he will press
that question at all proper times, It Is be
lieved he will not make serious effort to
proceed with It during the flrst few days
of the session. Another measure which
probably will be taken up early In the ses
sion Is the bill for admission of the four
southwest territories os two states. Noth
ing more than preliminary work, however,
can be done on any of these bills In the
flrst week.
Steering Committee on Deck.
It Is said that the republican steering
committee will give attention to the order
of business early In' the session with a
view to general legislation before the ap
propriation bills begin to arrive from the
house.
Attention will be given to filling commit
tee vacancies caused by the deaths of Sen
ators Hanna, Hoar and Quay, but the dis
position seems to be opposed to doing more
In the direction at present than to assign
to Senator Piatt of Connecticut, the chair
manship of the committee on the Judiciary,
which place will go to him by right of
seniority.
Monday will be characterized as usual Jpy
the attendance of a large number of spec
tators and a liberal display of flowers on
the desks of senators.
IMMIGRATION FIGIRES FOR YEAR
Commissioner Sargent Denis with
Contract Labor.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Immigration to
the United Statea Increased materially
during the lant fiscal year, and It la u
notable fact that the moral, Intellectual
and physical conditions of Immigrants ad
mitted to this country during the past
year are higher than ever heretofore have
been chronicled. These are two salient fea
tures of the annual report of Frank P.
Sargent, commlsslcnrr general of immigra
tion, which was made public today.
Tliu report taya that during the past
fiscal yeur 812,870 aliens arrived In the
United States, of whom 649,100 were males
and 203,770 females, an Increase in tha fe
males as compared wish lust ye.ir of 19,870
and a decrease In tho males of 64,046.
As respect j age, iOj.IW wtre under 14
years, 657,156 were by ween 14 and 4S and
46,565 were 45 or ovl Of ths total num.
ber of Immigrants admitted I.6C3 could read
but not write, 168,903 could neither read nor
write, and it la presumed the remainder,
640,014, could b'jth read and write. It also
appears that 1"3,750 of these aliens had al
ready been to this ccuntry, 60.5U5 brought
with them $50 or more each and 501,530
brought each less than ."i0. The total
amount of money shown to officers by vhesa
M2.870 aliens was 2u,8'l,S, or 44,776.8,0 more
than was brought by the b57,046 arrivals of
the last year. This fact, says the report,

TARIFF REVISION TO FORE
Leaden im Both Houses of Congress Oppose
Any Chang-.
PRESIDENT MAY CAUSE SHOCK
Standpatters Who Argue the People
Endorsed Roosevelt Are Not Bay
In Much Before Message
Goes to Congress.
(From a Stiff CorrtspondcnO
WASHINGTON, IXc. 4 (Special.) Tho
"stand-patters" In the republlcsn party
and they comprise the leaders In both
branches of congress Insist that there
shall be no revision of the tariff, certainly'
no revision that will seriously afftct th
business interests of the country during
the next four years. Speaker Cannon has
come out openly ngalnot revlxion, and as
he really leads the party In the lower
house, his position relative to the tariff
must be taken as huvlng great weight on
the situation. In the upper body Senators
Aid rich and Hale are unalterably opposed
to tempering with the Dlngley tariff. So
are Penrose and Knox of Pennsylvania,
Scott and Elklns of West Virginia, Foraker
and Dick of Ohio, Cullom and Hopkins of
Illinois, to say nothing of such old war
horses like Frye of Maine, the two Platts,
one from Connecticut, the other from New
York,' and "Uncle Billy" Allinon of Iowa.
And they are opposed to an extra session
of the Fifty-ninth congress. They argue,
and seemingly not without reason, that
the vote cast on Novemler was a vote
of confidence In the republican party's poli
cies as represented In the person of the
president. If this be true, they reason,
the mass of the people are sat if lied with
present conditions and they do not want
them disturbed.
President Msy Set Pace.
It may be, however, that President Roose
velt, In his message to congress, hLh
will be read on Tuesday, will take ad
vanced ground on the subject of tariff revi
sion. In which event the "stand-patters'
would probably take to cover. 1 But tho
president, It Is thought, will r.ot run coun
ter to the advice of the leaders In congress.
They ure his friends, and, should the presi
dent continue to play large politics, as he
has done in tho Immediate past, the antl
revlslonists hope that he will pas over a
dlHciuKtion of tariff revision by refeirtng
the whole subject to congress, where tne
friends of the tariff are in large majority.
It Is not denied by even the most uncom
promising advocates of the tariff that some
of the existing schedules should ber mate
rially reduced on the ground tnat the
American nation has advanced mightily In
the ten years the Dlngley tariff has been
on the statute books. But they are afraid
that to revise any one schedule would
create conditions necessitating correi-pond-ing
changes in abutting schedules, and they
are not In favor of any material reduction
on' the theory that the time Is not ripe for
a tariff change.
Commission Is Favored.
At the beglnlng of tho Fifty-sixth con
gress it was urtad nor only by tariff ad
vocates, but by revisionists as well, that
the whole subject of the tariff should be
placed in the hands of a permanent tariff
commission. It was argued then us now,
that if such a commission were created,
with broad and comprehensive powers re
garding tariff revision, it would take the
whole subject out of the domain of poll
tics and a more equitable adjustment
would result. The Idea of a tariff commis
sion is growing. Where lt had a few ad
vocates ten years ago lt has many advo
cates today. And It is known that a num
ber of constructive statesmen are en
gaged In drafting bills to be presented to
the Fifty-ninth congress looking to the
creation of such a commission and em
powering that body with authority to ex
amine Into the whole domain of the tariff
and to establish after full and free In
quiry such schedules as are deemed best
for the whole people.
Italy to Present Julius Cacssr.
Following the lead of Germany In pre
senting a statue of FredericK the Great to
the United States government, which has
now a prominent position on the ground of
the War college, bJng erected In the SJUth
uest section of the it is sluteu mat
Italy is contemplating the presentation
of a statue of Julius Caesar to accompany
that of Frederick the Great. It is under
stood that the Italian government was
greatly Impressed with the ceremonies In
cident to the installation of Germany's gift
and the fact has been noted in naiy mat
President Roosevelt, In his address. In
cluded Caesar among the ancient military
heroes that should compose u group at
the War college. Italy, of right, hns spe
clal Interest In the greatest of the Roman
generals and there Is an Inclination among
members of the government party In that
country to cement the friendship that pre
vails between Italy and America by a na
tional gift of a statue for the War college
group.
People In Washington are Interested In
the chances of the completion of the group
as outlined by the president, namely, Alex
ander, Hannibal, Caesar, Frederick the
Great, Napoleon and Washington, but lt is
realised that no foreign countries may lay
claim to any of the military heroes men
tioned except France and Italy, Napoleon
being the representative of the former and
Caesar of the latter. So far as France Is
concerned, the chances of the gift of a
statue of Napoleon are not considered very
good In view of the fact that the French
men have already been most generous with
their gifts of memorials to this country.
Only a short while ago the presentation of
the Rochambeau statue was made and
there is now at the capltol a replica of the
George Washington bust which has still
to be formally received when congress con
venes. With this state of affairs the belief la
general that the group of statues of the
great military heroes of former times as
outlined In the president's address at the
unveiling of ths statue of Frederick the
Great will not be realised for many years.
Kansas Presents In galls.
While on the subject of statues, It may
not be out of place to say that thero will
be shortly presented to the Ameilcan nation
by the people of Kansas a most lifelike
figure of John J. Ingalls. Those who have
seen the creation of ths sculptor's art
say that the statue of Ingalls amies nearer
. being a perfect likeness thun any of he
statues now In the American Parthenon,
with the possible exception of Wisconsin,
; whose statue of Marquette continues to
! attract the praise of art critics throughout
I the nation. Under tho law, each state Is
I permitted to set up In Htaluary hall of tha

really remarkable how few states havs

water. Hud lt exploded the water main
would have been demolished and possibly
the pumping station.
