.73 Bartholdt of St Louis num bers about two hundred congressmen and senators. " To Mr. Bartholdt much of the success of ths Parliamentary union is due. He has been Identified with its most progressive measures. He was one of the first Americans to become connected with It Mr. Bartholdt. assisted by the late Samuel J. Barrows, was Instrumental in bringing the twelfth conference of the union to St Louis at the time of the Louisiana Purchase exposition In 1004. As a result of Its session there, the union requested President Roosevelt to call the second Hague conference. At one time when the problem was discussed of making the Hague conferences Into a world congress with two chambers, Mr. Bartholdt proposed as a temporary expedient that members 'of the lower house be taken from the union. He has also outlined a plan for world federation and peace. Mr. Bartholdt at the last session of congress, secured for the work of the union an appropriation of 12.300. This action Is In accord with that already , taken In Great Britain and Europe. U. t. Peace Commission. Mr. Bartholdt supported by the peace society of New York, was also Influential In the same session of congress in obtaining the passage of the Mil creating the United States peace commission. The establishment of this commisslon,Which Is the most advanced step taken by a government In the peace cause. Is Intended to bring about a limitation of armaments by agreement among the nations and to study other means by which military expenditures may be reduced or war voided , The interparliamentary union will have an opportunity to urge upon the other nations the example of the United States. If no other nations create similar commissions, end they work together,, the next Hague conference will be In a position to deal with the question of armaments effectlvely. ' Baron . d'Estonrnelles de Constant, also a member of the Inter parliamentary union, has always Insisted that before there can be an Intelligent International discussion of ' this question, a preliminary study of It must be made by the nations Individually. This Is substantially the at- ' tltude of both Hague conferences as expressed In their resolutions commending the subject to the earnest at- ' tentlons of the various governments. ' To Limit Armaments. The problem of limiting armaments Is one of the coming economic and moral Issues ot the day, there is little doubt. Baron d'Estournelles de Con- , stant. In bis sddreas to the London ' conference said. "The question of the , limitation of armaments Is at the present time unquestionably one of the most pressing of all those which parllaments and governments are called 4ipm to consider. As long as it remains unsolved It may be said that it ' bare the way to all kinds of reform '. and arrests the progress of civlllzat tlon.M ' .'

Beverly, Mass.v Aug. 19. With a heart full of love Representative Longworth, an insurgent recruit, has handed the following token of. his esteem to Speaker Cannon: "In view of Mr. Cannon's "unequivocal declaration that he intends to be a candidate for Speaker of the next House, I think it is incumbent upon those of us who are candidates for membership in the next House, who have made up our minds on our course of action and to have positlve views upon the subject to state our position publicly. ' ''Had Mr. Cannon not made thl announcement, and had it remained . doubtful whether he would be a caidldate or not It was my intention not to commit myself before elect on as to whom I should or should not support for Speaker. "But since Mr. Cannon, In his speeches so farln the campaign and In his recent declaration, has made candidacy for the Speakership an Is-sue,-1, for one, do not propose to dodge that issue. y "I shall oppose Mr. Cannon's fiction as Speaker, and I shall do o In a manner that I consider proper and effective on the settlement of controversy In my party, namely, in the Republican caucus. I made up my mind before the adjournment of the last session of Congress that Mr. Cannon could not be re-elected Spanker, and my opinion has been strengthened since through corresp radence and talks with my "colleagues. I am not referring to those wao have openly opposed him in the past, but to those who, like myself, have supported him. "I am absolutely convinced, if thre is a full attendance at the Republican caucus, that Mr. Cannon could not be again elected Speaker. ."I have genuine affection for Mr. Cannon as a man, and the higheit respect for his splendid fighting qualities. I have supported him five times for his election and once against his removal, but I cannot do so again. " ' . , 1 - "l repeat that I shall oppose the re-election of Mr. Cannon to the Speakership, and that I am firmly of the opinion that his re-election is Impossible. T want It especially understood that I say this Bolely on my own responsibility and upon the suggestion of no one else."

II. V. DEMOCRATS HOLD A MEETING SBBBBSSSsafjSBel State Committee Members Gather at Saratoga to Consider Convention. SBSSBSSSBBBSBBBS START BOOM FOR GAYNOR HE IS REGARDED AS THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE PARTY IN THE EMPIRE STATE AND LEADING v CANDIDATE. (American News Service.) Saratoga, N. T.. Aug. 19 The members of the Democratic state committee together with a-number of other party leaders of prominence assembled at the Grand Union Hotel here today to decide upon the' time and place for holding the State convention. The Indications are that Saratoga, about September 29, will be decided on for the gathering, although Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse are bidding for the convention. V Among those assembled for the conference the opinion is unanimous that never has the Democratic outlook In New York been more hopeful. The recent organisation of the State committee. the -tendency of the old-time leaders to withdraw Into, the background and the general trend of public sentiment toward the Democratic standard has greatly cheered the party leaders and given them a feeling of confidence in the results of the November election. ; '.. The high cost of living, dlssatlsfaction with the tariff nd resentment

against th . Republicans . for- Uegedlhnd at jne chorea on tills date, '

mismanagement of State affairs are

cited by the Democrats as contributory causes that will insure a bitter contest this fall, with the chances of success lavonng tneir party. Harmony Is Shown. The evident harmony among the Democrats this year, as contrasted with the almost hopelessly divided position of the Republicans, is regarded by politicians of both parties as of deep significance. The majority of the Republicans are ready to admit that their party is split almost as bad ly as it was In the great stalwart half-breed feud, and with little pros pect at present of being able to get another before election. The Democrats appreciate the fact that their hopes of success will be greatly strengthened by the choice of an able candidate for governor. Should Mayor Gaynor of New York City survive his wounds is would seem almost a certainty that he will receive the gubernatorial nomination. At present ho is the most talked of Democrat in New York, if not "the entire country, and his name completely overshaudows those of . Osborne. Havens and others' who have been mentioned as possibilities to head the Democratic ticket The nomination will be made with an eye to the future, as Democratic state politics in New York this fall will have a distinct bearing upon Democratic national politics in 1913. The boom for Gaynor for governor may take such Impetus now as to sweep everything aside and result in a genuine demand of the people for his renominatlon. In suoh event, the belief Is general, that the mayor would accept the nomination. . With Gaynor . nominated In such manner, with harmony In the Democratic ranks, barring Hearst's opposition; with the Republicans split into factions, and with the general unrest and resentment of the people against the party In power, the betting odds, it is believed, would be largely la favor of Gaynor carrying New York.

A VICTIM OF FATE Notorious Duelist of Italy, Shunned by All, Ends His Life Today., HAp A NOTORIOUS CAREER (American Nwi Serfce Venice, Aug. 19. Count-, Ferruclo Macola. victor in the most sensational duel of fifty years in Italy" killed himself with a revolver today. His friends say he was hounded to death by the adherents of Felice Cavallottl. poet dramatist, publicist and radical leader. In March 1808. Cavalotti, who had fought thirty-five duels, forced another combat on Macola, following a dispute In the f chamber of deputies of which both were members. They fought in the garden of the beautiful Countess Cellere. Cavallottl was Jellied in his thirty-sixth duel. , From that date on Macola was shunned. He lost all but a handful of friends and was ostracised . socially. The climax came In 1905, when he was hacked and hissed in the chamber as he tried -to speak. Then he resigned. In the last five years he tried to forget his situation In retirement So terrific was the strain of opprobrium that he became the victim of a nervous arm. ? -... The Countess Cellere. friend of Cavallottl, attained the height of her notoriety when she accused av lover, the son of Premier Crispt of stealing her Jewels.

v - " (American News Service.) Des Moines, la., Aug. 19. Senator Albert B. Cummins has addressed to E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, a reply to Ripley's letter recently published attacking Cummins for a speech in Peabody. Kas., about recent railroad legislation. ' - f The Iowa senator assails the railroad president for misrepresentation and for obscuring the facts in regard to the legislation,' railroad capitalization, and other matters. He says in part: . v . "You write: "There was In the bill only one thing that could by any possibility be consdered favorable to the railways, namely, the right to make legal agreements as to rates a proposition recommended y Roosevelt, by the interstate commerce commission and inserted, I believe, In your party platform. This the only desirable feature of the administration bill was eliminated by you and your friends.' "The real trouble with the railway owners and railway managers is that instead of loyally and finally accepting the supervising "and regulat- , ing power of the government, they resist every proposal to enlarge public authority and resent every attempt to interfere with their management. The outcome is constant irritation and increasing turmoil. The sooner' you and your associates recognize, not . formally, but honestly and sincerely, that you are not" masters of the ; situation, the sooner we will reach the desired end, viz., even handed justice to both the people and the railways." . ...--
