because of the hurried manner In which it was proposed to pass the bill, and the division developed that It did not command the support of two-thirds of those present. During the debate. Mr. Steele, of Indiana said: "I would like to ask if this bill does not practically eliminate the lieutenant general from the army? In other words, would it be possible under this bill for the commanding general In time of war. to reside out of Washington? The lieutenant general is not chief of staff under this bill. Mr. Hay. of Virginia "He could be detailed as commander of the army In tlmeor war if the President chose to detail him. Mr. Steele "The President can assign any officer to the command of the army now, subject to this little coterie, this petticoat army here in Washington." Mr. Hay "Do you mean the President is subject to that? Mr. Steele "That is what I mean." Mr. Hull declared that if the bill was defeated now he did not believe it could be passed in any other way. The vote resulted ICS to 57 not a quorum. A call of the House developed the presence of only YJ) members, not a quorum, and at 2 o'clock the House adjourned. Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York. Introduced a bill making it illegal for any, person engaged in trade to use for advertising purposes the name or pictures of any living persons without having first obtained their consent In writing. A maximum penalty of

one year in prison and a fine of si.uw provided. Mr. Fitzgerald said the New York Court of Appeals recently in the case of a young woman who sought to restrain the unauthorized publication of her picture as part of an advertisement "practically de termined that if the picture were UDeious its use could be restrained, but the mere fart that th nicture was a true likeness and Its use unauthorized afforded no ground for redress."

SKETCH OF HIS LONG CAEEEE WAS PRIME MINISTER AND CABINET 31 EMBER 31 ANY TIMES. . Retired to Private Life Only a Vevr Weckt Ako Hawaiian Rihop and Other Persons Dead. MADRID. Jan. 5. Former Premier hagasta died at 11 o'clock to-night. At 6:20 o'clock he was seized by a syncope, and it was then thought he was dead. He rallied. however, and lived for four hours and a half. His death was due to bronchitis and gastric trouble. The statesman's family nnd friends were at his bedside when he passed away, the last sacrament being administered this afternoon Senor Sacrasta's intellect was unimpaired - -vnconil condition He until he fell into a sjneopal condition, lie iaieu iu ma uaugmer, iuc inwiumw the Senate and of Congress and to tne archbishop of Toledo. King Alfonso has written a letter of sympathy to Senor sagastas iamiiy. Jjunng me iwiaer mier's illness the Queen mother and other members of the royal family frequently sent officials to inquire as to his progress. Th funeral nrobablv will be held on Wednesday. The news of the former premier's death created a painful impression throughout Madrid. Praxedes Mateo Sagasta, who succeeded Canovas del Castillo as Spanish premier on the assassination of the latter, and held the portfolio of foreign affairs with the chancellerie until his resignation a few weeks ago, was born at Torecllla de Cameros on July 21, 1S27. He studied engineering at Madrid, and for a time practiced his profession at Valladolid and Zamora, but soon drifted Into politics, and was elected to the Cortes by the lastnamed town in 1S54. He was oblig-ed to seek refuge In France because of the part he took in the insurrection of .1856, but. on the proclamation of amnesty, returned to Spain, and then became a professor in the School of Engineers at Madrid. He still continued to take an active part in politics, however, and became the editor of La Iberia, the principal organ or the Itogresslst party. His bold proclamation of Liberal principles again brought upon his head the emnity of the despotic ministers of Isabella II, and on account of his par ticipation in the unsuccessful insurrection of June, lS(rt, he was condemned to death for treason, and again fled to France for his life. Sagasta remained In exile until the overthrow of Isabella II in 1S68, when he returned to Spain and was appointed minister of the interior in the provisional government formed by General ITim. His views gradually drifted in the Conservative direction at this time, and he completely broke off his relations with his old Radical friend Zorilla, a change which exposed him to bitter attacks from the Republican minority in the Cortes. He became more and more reactionary, however, and, being appointed minister of state in January, li0, ordered several towns, Including Bar celona, to bo placed in a state of siege, and formally declared himself in favor of the monarchy. After the Italian Prince Amadeus had taken the oath as King1, Sapasta, In December, 1870, proposed a dis solution of the Chamber. He remained minister of state and of the interior in the first Cabinet under Amadeus, during whose brier reign he took part in several minis terial combinations, sometimes as presi dent or tne council and at others as mere ly head of a department. When Amadeus had failed and Serrano finally became pres ident, sagasta was, in January, 1S74, made minister ior foreign affairs, became minis ter of the interior in May, and finally pre mier in August. Sagasta withdrew for a time from nubile life after the re-establishment of the Bour bon dynasty, but in June, 1873, gave in his adherence to the cause of Alfonso XII. He then endeavored to form a Liberal Consti tutional party, and finally joined the op position against Martinez Campos and Canovaa. 1877-79, and, when a new Liberal party was formed. In 1SS0, gave in his ad hesion to it and ultimately became its leader. Early in 1S81 he came into nower py iorming a coalition with Martinez Cam pos, but was overthrown in October, 1S83, when his Ministry was succeeded by one formed from the Dynastic Left. The Con servatives, however, soon returned to nower ana on me oeatn or Alfonso xil, in No vember, uvn, sagasta was again called to ine neaa oi me government. lie was obliged to materially reconstruct his Min istry in and again in January, 1890, but in juiy or tnat year was driven from power and replaced by Canovas, who remained at the head of the government until the elections of March, 1893. Sagasta then returned to office as pre mier and retained that position until the accession of Canovas to power In March, Twice during 1S9I In March and again in October he was obliged to reconstruct his Cabinet on account of the constant and irritating opposition which It encountered, and he finally abandoned the attempt. jjunng tne last uanovas administration Senor Sagasta maintained what mleht be styled an expectant attitude, refraining from open criticism of the government in its strenuous but futile efforts to suppress mo insurrection in uuna. .Iiishop Gulstan F.

A special dispatch from Tangiers says the Sultan of Morocco is disposed to abdicate in favor of his brother, Mulal-Mohammed. who Is acclaimed whenever he appears in the streets or Fez. The total exports from Germany through the American consulates to the United States during the year 1902 amounted to $114.495,502, an increase of J14.S78.770 over the preceding year. The largest gain, that of $2.803,800, was from Düsseldorf, and was al most entirely in Iron and steel. According to the London Daily Telegraph this morning, contracts have been com pleted to start a daily paper to be sup plied with news by the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy on board a British liner running between Liverpool and New York. Publication will begin about the end of this month. The revenue derived from the maritime customs at the treaty ports of China for the year 1902 amounted to SO.000,000 taels, as against 25.500,000 taels In 1901. The year 1902 ends with large stocks of goods on hand and gloomy prospects for the Import trade, owing to the continued llkln exactions and the decline in the purchasing power of silver.

Senator McLaurin, of Mississippi, to-day confened with Postmaster General Payne on the situation at Indlanola, Miss., where the postoffice has been closed as a result of antagonism to the negro postmaster. Subsequently Senator McLaurin stated that he believed the office would be reopened this week. Mr. Payne said the office will be reopened If there is no intimidation of the postmaster. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Jan. 5. A special to the Courier-Journal from Indlanola, Miss., says: "Mrs. Minnie Cox, the colored postmaster of this place, on account of whose resignation the government ordered the postoffice here closed, left Indianola to-, night for Birmingham, Ala., accompanied by her mulatto assistant. It is now thought there is little danger of further trouble and, although the sentiment of the people Is against the action of the government in closing the office on account of the consequent partial paralysis of business, no violence is anticipated. Before she left to-night Mrs. Cox made a statement in which she denied that she had been subjected to any indignit'es and stated that no violence had been threatened her. She said, however, that she would not again take the office of postmaster under any circumstances. Her husband, who is employed In the United States railway mail tervlce. also made a statement In wh ph hVVaM Tht h i Son wnicn he said that hks wife had not been threatened, but that he understood the race problem in the South, and had advised ner to give up the place. 'There is no doubt,' he continued, 'that there is a general sentiment here against a negTO postmaster.' " GIVE US A GOOD NAVY! Public Sentiment Demands More Ships and Plenty of Men. New York Press. Rear Admiral Selfridge's inventory of the country's sea power, of which many of our senior naval officers are speaking nowadays with uncommon concern, comes to the I conclusion that, should we be driven into conflict with any of the first-class European powers within the next few years the fears of our New England coast cities would not bo hysterical as In the Spanish war, but would be well-grounded "unless our fleet be increased by quite double its present force. built, building and provided for." This offlcer earnestly deplores our inadequate equipment in battleships. Of the nineteen firstclass ones four need to be modernized. On making a comparison with any of our European neighbors, it is plain that "we come dishearteningly down toward the end of the list." Like most of our naval commanders. Rear Admiral Selfrldge looks on the Teuton as our likeliest adversary in case of a controversy at arms with a foe from across the Atlantic. "In five years," he says, "the Germans will have at their command no fewer than thirty-eight battleships." Criticism of nonenforcement of penalties for tardiness in construction of warships is of fered by Admiral beirridge, a policy which he says "has led to abuse and to delays that might well hazard the peace of the country if our widened international rela tions had demanded a show of force." If Congress does not heed the urgent warnings that are continually being shouted not only by ardent profeslonal men but by patriotic civilians in all quarters, and emphasized by President Roosevelt In his plea ror "a thoroughly good navy," the odium resting on each derelict representative in the event of a war that might find us unpre paredas we snouia be ir the enemy were Germany would be more than they would care to Incur. Could they have the foresight to guard their country against the humiliation of a backdown or a defeat they would never cease to congratulate themselves. The duty now imperatively laid upon Congress Is to adopt a coherent, fixed and liberal plan for our naval line of battle. PRINCESS TO BE DIVORCED. German Consul at Genera Given Permission to Serve Notice on Louise. DRESDEN, Saxony, Jan. 5. The German consul at Geneva has received the necessary permission to serve a writ of the crown on Princess Louise In connection with the suit for divorce brought against her by the crown prince of Saxony, s "A court bulletin Issued to-day Bays the King, who has been suffering from Influenza since Dec. 10, has improved somewhat. Since Jan. 3 he has been without fever and his appetite has been better. At the same time catarrh of the lungs, a distressing cough and restlessness at night continue." LEGISLATURES AND POLITICS. Governor Richards, of Wyoming, and the other State officers were sworn in yesterday, and an inugural ball was held at night In the Capitol at Cheyenne. The Delaware Legislature will convene to-day. Indications point to a deadlock and delay in organization. The political complexion of the Legislature is: Democrats, 21; Union-or Addicks Republicans, 21; regular Republicans or anti-Addicks, 9; Independent Republican, 1. Governor La Follette, of Wisconsin, was inaugurated for his second term yesterday. The ceremony took place in the Assembly chamber of the State Capitol, which waa packed to its utmost capacity. The oath of office was administered by Chief Justice O'Day, of the Supreme Court. Following the Governor the new State officers were sworn in. Governor White, of North Dakota, took the oath of office for his second term yesterday, and the other State officers were also inducted into their positions, all changes being made without incident. The opposition to the re-election of Senator Hansbrough has been in large part with drawn, and It Is now considered unlikely that any other name will be voted for. Republicans of the House of the Montana Legislature yesterday organized the House for the first time in ten years. Former Governor B. F. White, of Dillon, was chosen . for speaker. F. Augustus Heinz was defeated in his effort to prevent caucus agreements. The outcome is regarded as a victory for former United States Senator Carter. The Democrats organized the Senate. The biennial session of the Pennsylvania Legislature, which organizes to-day, promises to be the shortest in the state's history. The Republicans who are in a decided majority in both branches, are pledged by their party caucus to vote for the adoption of a resolution fixing April 16 as the date for final adjournment. John M. Scott, of Philadelphia, will be chosen president pro tern, of the Senate, and Henry F. Walton, of Philadelphia, will be elected speaker of the House. Boise Penrose will be re-elected United States senator. Col. Myron T. Herrlck, of Cleveland, when asked if he would be a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, said: "If the Republicans of Ohio should request me to be their candidate for Governor this year I shall accept their nomination, fully appreciating the duties and grave responsibilities of that high office."

TO REGULATE ADVERTISING. Proposed Board to Investigate Frauds In This Line. Philadelphia Record. The suggestion of a law to prevent fraudulent and offensive advertising in the newspapers of this country may be traced to the policy adopted in Germany, where even ex travagance of statement in business announcements is prohibited. It does not meet the views of the experienced advertisers who constitute the Sphinx Club, of New York. There are valid objections to any unnecessary multiplication of the statutes. It is a good principle not to call on the Legislature to interfere with concerns which can be more surely and effectively regulated by other means. One bad effect of demanding a law to cure every evil is that people come at last to rely on the Legislature, and so themselves neglect what they alone can do T.QWa An nt OT1fnr, tv,omtBh-P th Laws do not enforce themselves, and the agents of the law have stronger motives to Ignore than to enforce certain statutes. Even where there Is no direct bribery, indolence or political influence will often restrain the officials. When men have In duced a legislative body to enact a law they seem to think that is all that is needed. In the past year or two several fraudu lent financial schemes have been promoted. to the loss of enormous sums by Innocent Investors, through newspaper advertise ments. In one case, at least, the announce ments were such as should have aroused the suspicions of the newspapers. To ob tain evidence strong enough to obtain an Indictment on might have been impossible In the early stages of the operations, yet jt was desirable to exclude the advertise ments from newspapers of good character, It is obvious that no law against Improper advertising could have been of any use. What the Sphinx Club proposes. In the In terest of honest advertising, is to appoint a committee of experts to Investigate all advertising which is not distinctly honest and to report to the newspapers. Most reputable newspaper publishers will vol untarily reject any advertisement which may be Intended to promote a swindle, and It Is in the power of the club to compel any other publisher to bar out fraudulent "ads" by making such rejection a condition of the advertising or tne memDers, wnicn is ex tensive. It is not always practicable for publishers to determine whether an enter prise is honest, but the experts appointed by the advertisers may have the means to get at the truth. To leave all such questions as the ac curacy and sincerity of a business announcment to the regular agents of the law would result either In the needless an noyance and restraint of a legitimate en terprise or In a complete neglect of the law. SAVING AT THE SPIGOT. Limitations Under Which Canal Pro jectors Blust Be' Hired. Boston Herold. An illustration of the short-sighted manner in which great public questions are f re quently considered In this country Is given in the efforts that certain members of Con gress have recently made to cut down to very narrow limits the compensation to be given to those who are to have charge of the work of constructing the proposed Isthmian canal. This is an enterprise which will cost, approximately, $150.000,000, and. if errors of judgment occur, may Involve the nation in an outgo of many millions of dollars in excess of this sum. If a corporation were undertaking this work, it would place it In charge of the most competent men that It could find, almost regardless of the salaries that It had to pay to procure the services of such persons, and such an expenditure would be true economy, for if the right men were employed, at a compensation of $50,000 or $100,000 u year, their cost might rightly be considered an insurance fund paid to protect those financially responsible for the work from having to meet an enormously greater outgo caused by the blunders of less efficient men. But some of our congressmen, and apparently those who have been most insistent on the adoption of the Nicaragua route, are determined that the pay given shall not exceed that of which congressmen are in receipt, and those who accept this position must constantly remain at the isthmus during the entire time of construction, or at least during their term of service. In a word, it is the intent of these gentlemen to make it Impossible for the government to procure the administrative services of men whom a great employer would retain because of the exceptional value of the assistance they could give him. Docs anyone suppose that Mr. Carnegie could have built up his great Iron and steel plan or that Mr. Morgan could have successfully carried through his various industrial projects it either had adopted this picayune policyT Is it not, on the contrary, almost certain that the outcome under such circumstances would have been disastrous failure; and why can one expect that conditions are In work any more favorably for the United States government? True economy, and therefore true policy, would consist in obtaining for the work the best possible supervisors, no matter what In. reason had to be paid ror tneir services, and. having secured such men, the proper course of procedure would be to let them arrange their methods of carrying on work, and not have these dictated to them by men In Washington having little or no knowledge of the subject. MORE HOLIDAYS? Thinks We Cannot Afford One for the a Discoverer of America. New York Commercial. We must confess to a long-standing lik ing for Christopher Columbus. No good American will hesitate to own up to the same sort of feeling. All our eighty rolllions of people are largely In his debt, any way. If he hadn't discovered America when he did, 410 years ago, there is no knowing how long it would have remained undiscovered how long It might have taken some other daring 'explorer to have pushed his way as rar westward. Doubtless it was a sentiment of appreciation and obligation to Christopher akin to this that moved Representative Martin, of South Dakota, to frame and Introduce in Congress the other day this little bill: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress assembled. That the 21st day of October of each year, the anniversary of the discovery of America, by Christopher Columbus, 1 hereby made a legal public holiday under the name of Columbus day, to all Intents and purposes. In the same manner and effect as the first Monday of September, known as Labor day. Is now made by law a public holiday. Let us hope that this bill, no matter how little It Is. may fall of passage. It came up a little late, we have somehow struggled along for nearly, 130 years without a LoiumDus day. ana we ought to ne able to do it for a while longer. We have I I.- . M A I set up quue a lot oi monuments to me discoverer of our country, named an ex position for him. and in a minion other ways done honor to his memory. He was a great worker In his day, and we don't believe he took much stock In holidays. But he is a good deal of a "dead one" now, and we haven't so much room and time for holidays as we used to have, either. , There are only 313 secular days in the year. anyway, and what with Christmas.

Mr. Martin has our "leave to withdraw." Lincoln's Wit Won. I Kansas City Journal. When Joseph Jefferson, the famous Amer ican actor, was a boy he uited to tramp from town to town In the United States as a small member of his father's traveling company. Thej' once struck the town of Springfield, III., at a time when a great re ligious revival was in full swing, in the hope of preventing any play-acting at such a period, the Town council oemanaed a heavy fee for permission. This waa a serious matter for the strollers, who had to earn their dally bread, and a lcal lawyer took up their case out of good will. So persuasively did he plead that the fee was not insisted on and the performance took place. The lawyer whose wit and humor served the players so well afterward became President of his native country and Is known to fame as Abraham Lincoln. TON TO A SHOT, When there is a falling oi! in fiesh ia vornan or man there is n something mong.w And that something wrong is generally a loss of nutrition aue to disease of tne stomach a?d the other organs of digestion and nutrition.
