(Special.) Presents to the bride-elect of Congressman Nicholas Iongworth coniinue to be received at the White House, and the storage ca pacity of tho historic building Is taxed to lis utmost lo accmnmodat'. the gifts which the friends of Miss Alice Roosevelt are showering upon her. These presents are ft for a princess or the bride of a mining king. But as much cannot be said for them when it Is remembered that neither the bride nor the gremm is wealthy. There la an erroneous Impression through out the country that the brldcgroom-to-be is a millionaire. The fact Is, Mr. Long worth ha literally nothing; nslde from his alary a a member of the house of repre sentatives. Ills mother has a moderate fortune, hut nothing compared with that with which ahe Is credited. As for Miss Roosevelt herself, she has neither money nor expectations, according to the declara tions of those who are pnstcd Intimately on the affair, of the president's family. If tho bridegroom-elect had been as wealthy aa he Is credited with being it Is natural to infer that he would install hi brldo In a house commensurate in Its ap- u niraenia v. ilii run iiicoriii,. lfi Hie uousn which has been leased la no better than those occupied by score of Mr. Long worth'a colleagues who depend entirely upon their salaries as members for sup port. Reports of tho character of the pres-1 ent which have already been received or are on their way Indicate that the givers have gone 'upon the assumption that the young people are able to live In an atmos phere of regal magnificence. Difficult to Select Present. "We cannot give them anything In silver without duplicating some other gift," said a member of the New York delegation when the question of a present was being discussed. "I have learned that the best silver and goldsmiths of the country have exhausted their Ingenuity In designing beau- iiiui mns. Aireaay me wnue Mouse is filled with enough silverware to stock the vaults of a score of dukes and not even the London Guilds, those repositories of niTurpwi m-npiJi onm tirq angTiiircciHie of the display that has been sent to the president's daughter." And then the dele gation decided upon a service of favclle glass. But glass is not needed, either, ac cording to reports, for It is said that enough peclmens of high art In cut crystal have been received to stock a dosen houses as large as that selected by the congressman for his bride. In fact. It appears that hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been generously ex pended by the legion of friends of the bride and groom, who have vied with each other In selecting something magnificent. The useful has been almost entirely Ignored. Tho days when a chest of linen was con sidered one of the essential presents to a bride have passed away. No one thought of purchasing a house and furniture be cause every one believed such a present would not only be unnecessary, but really offensive, and perhaps it would have been so regarded. But certainly Mrs. Ixingworth will experience great difficulty In finding use for half a doien gold and sliver punch bowls, fifteen or twenty silver candelabra and a score of epergnes of great value and ,mueh beauty, but of doubtful utility. There are said to be bronzes enough to fill a room and silverware sufficient to stock a modern hotel. In fact, as asserted above, the pres ents would do credit to an eastern princess, but they will doubtless prove burdensome to the sensible American ,r.lrl who on next Saturday will be united to a well-bred, up-to-date, brainy American congressman, with a future before him, but no bank account to speak of. Maklnar Hotel Into Clabhouse. Carpenters, plasterers and painters are transforming the historic. Chamberlain hotel, that for years has stood at the cor Mr of Fifteenth and I streets. Into a club fee, family hotel or residence. Here in trie -olden days, when John Chamberlain waa alive and the king of hotel men of his generation, senators, representatives, gov ernors, financiers, the captains of Industry, mine owners, army and navy officers and tho bon vlvanta of a decade ago, clinked glasses and made merry. Here the details of legislation were worked out. Here men were promoted or demoted, and within the historic pmce now being remodeled the world best stories have been told. John P Chamberlain died In 197 and when he died the hostelry which bore his name began to show signs of decay and although efforts, were made to keep the house run ning and retain the atmosphere that pre vailed In Chamberlain's time, was unsuc cessful and for the hut four years the rats nil mice have held unlimltud sway. James G. Blaine lived in the second house. now occupied by the Chamberlain club, and ex-Governor Swan of Maryland Hed lit the house adjoining and which wu in cluded In the Chumberlain hotel during the flourishing days of his regime. Borne of the most fastidious parties and feast have spiced the history of this old place and some of the most noted sporting event have been pulled off here. Not that there have been prise fights within Its walls, but the sporting events to which reference Is made Include the tremendous poker games which were almost a nightly occurrence during the lifetime of John Chamberlain. An anecdote connected with the hotel's history Is that of John Cham berlain's pat hand. The story as It has drifted down from the misty past con cerns Chamberlain and a former Kentucky senator. One night when the wind was blowing a gale and snow waa piling In drifts on Washington streets, a coterie of congenial spirits wvie in Chamberlain's bark room, among them being Roacoe t'onkfciig and a member of President Hayes' cabinet. The Kentucky senator, who for Identification shall be called "PI'il." sauntered In and seated himself In frept of John Chamberlain.

(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Ksiernnto continues to make rapid progress in England and In fact throughout the continent. The new lan guago is supposed to be used by two classes, the educated and the uneducated. It is difficult to persuade any Ignorant per son that he ought to communicate with anyone outside his own country unless he is In a "state of war," when his words will usually be deeds. The uneducated person naturally cares no more about Esperanto than for any other language. The educated person naturally falls back upon the Latin or th" French of Ms youth in case of an emergency. Tt Is to the business world, the age of wireless telegraphs, of universal telephones, that the ardent Esperantlsts are turning. They do not quite approve of tho lecture in which Mr. W. T. Stead regaled his hear- era with a description In Esperanto of his accurate prophecies about the downfall of i unionists member at the noils. Practical Esperantlsts frown down upon this sort of a thing Just as they frown down upon the translation of a poem by Heine.

In the statement President Uolau says: III the Joint scale committee before the matter was submitted to the Joint conven tion. Illinois miners and operators got into a deadlock over the shotllrers" bill. The operators of Illinois slated positively that they would never sign any agreement which did not compel the miners lo pay the wages of shottlrors. president Perry of the Illi nois miners Immediately replied that there would not be any agreement If that wire the case, as the Illinois miners would never agree to iillow such a provision to go Into the scnle.

John Mitchell is going down to New York to ask the anthracite operators for a con tract, which he has not tho power to emit Into, ns Hie national convention has Ilea him hand and foot. With those facts in mind, when the Joint convention reassem bled and Urn operatora offered to reaffirm (he present scale.

Results o( Strikes. let us bo honest anout these things. Our wages have been increased more man Hiu per cent and our hours ot iahir nave Dun decreased from ten to eight hours since 1MJ7. is it riff lit under tins resolution to Jeopardize all these things? And let me tell you, the miners ot tnis country have never won a prominent soft coal strike under the direction of President Mitcnell. Mark Hanna settled the mat hard coal strlko for us and President Roosevelt set tled the second. Nobody has settled our big soft coal strikes, becauu we have lost them. President Mitchell a first big soil coal strike was in the southwest. It lasted eighteen inonti.s and ended In utter failure. Hundreds of Kood men were victimized. Tho second bit soft coal htrlke wa la M-r UuitU heQouE. people cuUheltr J slate were utterly .created. Mis oiner dis astrous soft coal strike was in Kentucky, where our people were beaten. In Colorado, where the oruanlzation spent over tiiKi.OiiO, our union was wiped off tho face of the earth; In West Virginia central district we were defeated; in the Cabin Creek district In West Virginia, where the organization spent l,,000, we lost; In the Meyendale region we spent $4)0,000 and were defeated. At the present time we have a strike of 8.0OU miners In Alabama, which has been on for nineteen months. They are striking against a 10 per cent reduction. 1'nder the Ryan resolution, which says all districts must get 1JV. per cent advance over the present scale, the Alabama ope rators will have to withdraw their demand for a 10 per cent reduction and give the l-Ci per cent advance, or a total dlffrence of 224 per cent, before any other district In the country can settle. How is this to be brought about? The Pittsburg district has been criti cised because It has not more than 2S.0no members. President Mitchell Is as much at fault as any living man. He refuses to heln us. He came Into the nonunion j Irwin district at the very height or his popularity and widely advertised two meet- j At one ne nad flft.en ,, and at i the other we adjourned because there was I not anybody there. When Mitchell cannot get a meeting, what can a fellow like me do?

Considerable Interest attaches In view of tho termination of the trade agreement with Germany March 1 to the fact that there Is still in existence a treaty of peace and amity made In 1828 between the L'nlted States and Prussia, which contains a most favored nation clause under which It Is contended the Vnlted States has, the right to demand the .application of the (lertnnn minimum tariff rates to Its Imports accorded various European countries. This treaty Is rccog- nlzed by the Gorman Roverninent and was I assumed bv It after the confederation of I tho old German states. If any relief for the l'nlted States Is to be ohtslned from this source, however. It means the threshing over npaln of an old diplomatic controversy which was thor oughly ventilated in 1MW ami 1300 by the late Secretary Hay and Count von rfol- i leben. then the German representative to the l'nlted States. ,Tt was out of that correspondence that the present agreement with Germany was reached. The question at Issue grew out. of the construction placed on the most fa voted nation clause of the treaty of 12.. Germany claiming that the, e lut Lie did not aply to the re- i ciprocal agreements. Germany's notice of the termination of the agreement then en tered Into seems, ncrorriing' to the officials here, likely to preclude the probability of I that government ylelrtmg to the l'nlted Plates In the matter of application of mini mum tariff rates to American Imports. CAPITAL AND LABOR ARRAIGNED Arrlthlahot Kranf of Dubuque Takes Them Hoth to Tnsk for tn fairness. DVBI'Ql'E. la.. Feb. 11 From the pulpit of St. Raphael's cathedral Archbishop Keane, metropolitan of the Dubuque arch diocese, today hit the principle of unionism. He said: There aro unions organized to bring the competent man down to the level of work men who are not as well skilled. The work men who should receive more do not be- nuse they are bound In union to hold up Incompetent men. They force employers to pay poor laborers more than they earn. rneir aim is t get snorter hours and io as little work for the employer as possible. They do not earn their Salaries. This prac tice in unionism Is a school for thievery. The speaker then took orgnnlzed capital to task and said that the efforts of the big financiers to deprive man of his natural rights Is wrong. 'Such organized capital Is a school of thievery," ho said In conclusion. "The em ployer who docs not pay his employe for the amount of his hire I a thief. The em ploye who does not give tn his employer the labor he is paid ror is also a thief.' Ho made an appeal to men to take an ac tive Interest In politics, .saying: "A your luty to your family is sacred, so it is to your city, country and tate."

Wash., Feb. ll.-Saniuel Glasgow, manager nf a milling company of Spokane and Seattle, has received Hong kong newspaper and letters irom William Burtt, Chinese representative of the com pany, which state that a speech made by William J.

Previous to thiB, at a meeting held by about ftrty commercial representa tives i.nd delegate from the various Chinese guilds of Shanghai, Canton and Hongkong, the delegates had agreed upon twelve proposed modifications of the ex clusion law. The American representatives agreed to have their houses urge thes upon congress, and the Chinese agreed Immedia atrly to coll off the boycott. Then, according to Hongkong papers, Mr. Bryan appeared, was entertained by tho Chinese merchants at a dinner nnd declared in a speech that the American people would never consent to a repeal of the exclusion laws. One of the Chinese mer chants at the dinner reported the proceed ings to the Chinese newspapers. Ho quoted Mr. Bryan as declaring that the labor party was so strong in the l'nlted States that Chinese workmen, skilled or unskilled, would never be permitted to enter, and as drawing a gloomy picture of what would happen to American workmen If the Chinese were allowed to take away their employment. This Informant said that. while Mr. Bryan had agreed to support a number of the proposed changes, he had not been able to draw from the American leader any definite assurance of support of the policy which the Chinese would Insist upon as the only condition on whlch I the boycott would be withdrawn I After Mr. Rryan's Speech the Chinese became convinced that congress would not adopt the changes recommended by the American merchants and that their best'l pedicy was to put on the boycott screws tighter than ever.

Governor Johnson spoke under the aus pices of the Duluth Young Men's Christian association and, continuing, said: "The most vicious standard eif success In the world is that which sets up dollar and cents as the height of human ambition. There Is a man in New Tork who has set his ambition at $1,000,000,000, and If he ever lives to ncqulre It he will be sorry that It Is not $2,000,000,000. The man who makes money the be-all and the end-all of his enreer Is the most miserable man In the world. "There nre many men whose records are tending to liesmlrch the fair name of the nation," said tho governor. In conclusion. "but I believe we have at its head a man who Is great enough and good enough to guide the ship of state In the right direc tion."

The Joint statehood bill will be made the ' unfinished business of the senate following immediately on the disposal of the shlp- ! ping bill and will continue to hold that place until voted upon or displaced. Opln- ions differ as to the time that will be re quired for the consideration of the meas ure. Confessedly the senate Is quite evenly divided on the Foraker amendment giving .izetM opportunity for a separate vote ) on the question of admission, and it I not , probable that a test of strength will lx ; consented to until .here Is more definite In- formation as to the vttltude of certain sen ators. No decision has bee.t reached as to whal ' will follow tho statehe od bill aa unfinished business. The decision on that point will 1 rest with the republican steering commit te . and It will not be reached by that eom I nilttee until 'the railroad rate bill shall b I reported to the senate.
