WASHINGTON. Feb 11. (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

hotel, that for years has stood at the cor
Mr of Fifteenth and I streets. Into a club

trie -olden days, when John Chamberlain
waa alive and the king of hotel men of his

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

LONDON. rb. 11. (Special Cablegram to

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. They say
that the language will come on a "survi
val of the fittest basis." Just as the social
ists predict the triumph of their economic

tempt to translate Shakespeare or Dickens

result In the production of a eoneotentatlon

of the new language would be retarded In
stead of advanced by an attempt to adapt
It for literary purposes In a manner In
which it would not be suited.

wages have been increased more man Hiu

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.

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-

RELIANCE ON AN OLD TREATY
Germuu (iorrmmrnt "Not Likely to
Concede Contention of lotted
Stntua.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. 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

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."

BRYAN STIRS UP THECH1NESE
Convinced by Tenor of Address 1 nlted
Stntes Will Held othluv
to Them.
SPOKANE. 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. Bryan before the Chinese mer
chants at a dinner given by them In his
honor had been used by Chinese agitators
to stir up fresh agitation against American
products. 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.
TEN THOUSAND A YEAR ENOUGH
Governor of Minnesota Kays Kin tit
Living; Does "Sot Reejulr
More.
Dl-LT'TH. Minn., Feb. 11. "I do not be
lieve that any man should have more than
llO.roo a year, for If he live tight he does
naU. need ajij-nore.' declared Governor
John A. Johnson In an address at tha
Lyceum theater tonight.
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." (

Under the agreement reached last Monday
the senate will at 6 o'clock on Wednesday
vote on the subsidy shipping bill, and under
the same agreement the entire day ot
Tuesday and Wednesday, with the excep
tion of the time devoted to routine busi
ness, will be given up to the discussion ot
! the shipping bill.
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

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
