I - Washington, Feb. 3. — Senator Owen’s amendment to the Works resolution limiting presidents to single terms of six years, which would elimi Spate the electoral colleges and per- ! mit the people to elect future chief executives and also do away with all party conventions was within three votes of ebing adopted by the senate j ?n Friday. Notwithstanding the action of a ! large number of states last fall favoring a presidential preference primary ! and the trend of public sentiment towards legislation that will bring popular government closer to the people, the senate has gone on record in favor of continuing the old system by a I vote of 35 to 32. . . Here is the way the senate divided I I an the Owen proposition: For primaries and direct presi- ■ iential elections —Republican Progresi gives, Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Clapp, I Crawford, Dixon, Gror.na, Jones, Kenyon.

The resolution | has been under consideration two days. There was considerable reference to Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. The Republican Progressives fought the proposition bitterly, contending that it was intended to operate as a bar against Colonel Roosevelt in the future. Every amendment proposed was rejected. The votes indicated that if the resolution goes through at all it will be by a very narrow margin. ULSTER LOYALISTS WARN. Never Will Submit to Nationalists— Riots Follow Home Rule Victory.

ORDER ALLTURK ffIOPS 10 COLONS Peace Envoys Called to Return to Constantinople. DEMAND BIG WAR INDEMNITY Balkan Allies Ask $200,000,000 From Ottoman Government and Will Increase Amount If War Is Resumed. London, Feb. 3. —Notwithstanding the Balkan allies and the Turks are preparing to resume hostilities in southeastern Europe the powers are earnestly endeavoring to have peace ! negotiations resumed and there is a chance that they will be successful, ' according to the opinion of some of | the foremost diplomats. Turkey on Friday ordered her peace ; plenipotentiaries to return at once! to Constantinople and ordered all sol- | diers on furlough to rejoin the colors ' immediately. Diplomatists here express the be- ■ lief that Turkey in her reply tb the I i powers’ note made concessions which. . ■ even if they are entirely satisfactory, justify further peace negotiations. The allies are adamant, hoivever, in their demand that no part of Adrianople shall remain under Turkish control and they widened the breach stili further by demanding that Turkey pay a war indemnity of $200,000,000. Os this amount $75,000,000 is to cover the indebtedness of conquered Turkish territory. The allies served notice that the indemnity would be increased if the war was resumed.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL BILL WINS. Taft Signs Document Appropriating Fund for Shaft. Washingto Jan. 31.—A memorial to Ab-aham Lincoln will be erected in Poto-nac park, near the Washington monument, at a cost of $2,000,000. This was settled when, after weeks of filibustering, the house on Wednesday adopted a joint resolution approving the site and plan chosen for the memorial by the commission, of which President Taft is chairman and Senator Cullom a member. President Taft was the chairman of the commission which presented the* design. On Saturday he signed the bill in the presence of the full committee. f y Henry Bacon, the architect of the plan, was in Senator Cullom’s room when the final vote was announced, and declared it would take four years to complete the monument which is to be the finest of its kind in the world. The passage of the resolution marks the achievement of Senator Cullom s final legislative ambition. For years the aged senator from Lincoln’s home —Springfield—has labored to have erected a fitting memorial to the martyred president here at the seat of government. But until he stood within the shadow of last days of service as a senator of the United States, he had found it impossible to secure from congress favorable action on his plans.

FROM UNCOLN’S GREATSPEECHES I had not provided the flag; I had not made the arrangements for elevating it to its place. I had applied but a very s~>all portion of my feeble strength in raising it. In the whole transaction I was in the hands of the people who had arranged it. And if I can have the same generous co-operation of the people of the nation. I think the flag of our country may still be kept floating gloriously. Speech in Independence Hall, Feb. 22. 1861. .'£y **** I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. Wfe must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break, our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriotic grave to every living heart and hearthstone alt over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angles of our nature.

General Orders, November 15, 1862. Lincoln and the Humorists. During some'of Lincoln’s daily visits to the war department there were many spare moments while he waited tor fresh news from the front or for the translation of cipher messages, and when he did not fill up the others wise idle time by telling stories* he would read aloud some humorous article from a newspaper, as, for instance, Orpheus C. Kerr’s droll reports from Mackerelville, or Petroleum V. Nasby’s letters in sarcastic vein; at other times Artemus Ward’s inimitable lectures. Some of Nasby’s letters were irresistibly funny, especially those relating to the continuous struggle for the postoffice at “Confedrit Cross Roads” and to the backward'.wss of some of our generals, relates David Homer Bates in the Century.

ALWAYS NEAR CAPITAL Lincoln Never Had Complete Resl During Civil War. Unpretentious House, a Coinage i| the Soldiers’ Home Grounds, Where He Spent the Hot Months, Still Is Object of Reverent Interest. While our recent national chief e> ecutives have fled from Washingtoi and its summer heat and moved t< cool summer capitals, as, for instance Buzzards Bay, Oyster Bay and Bev erly, Lincoln in his day was forced ever to remain on guard in the na tlon’s capital the year through. During his four troublous years i» Washington he took no vacation an| his summer residence was withii easy ride of the seat of government The Anderson cottage, in the sol diers’ home grounds, was his summei home, and it was here, guarded bl a company of cavalry, that he llvei while handling the reins of govern ment through the Civil war. He rodl to the White House every day and re turned at night, the hour more oftei than not being late. His simplicity of taste was sucl that he would gladly have riddel without escort, but the secretary <4 war, the trenchant Stanton, insisted on the cavalry escort, for the presl dent’s safety. Lincoln said he did not want it; he “couldn’t hear himself think” witl the soldiers clattering along beside before and behind him. But with hii usual complaisance in what he deem ed non-essentials, he yielded. Somf times he rode horseback, accomps nied by the escort. At times he wa, called on to make a sudden journef from his cottage to the White One such call was on the receipt ci news of the reverse at Chickamauga Lincoln mounted his_ horse and rodt Lincoln's Summer Home. in the moonlight to the White Housy to take up the task of organizing th, means of ultimate triumph out c, what defeat.

Lincoln’s Usual Swear Word. On one occasion Lincoln, when e» tering the telegraph office, was heart , to remark to Secretary Seward, “By ’ jings, governor, we are here at last.* ’ Turning to him in a reprovifig ma» ( ner, Mr. Seward said: “Mr. President, ’ where did you learn that Inelegant e» . pression?” Without replying to th« , secretary, Lincoln addressed the open ators, saying: “Young gentlemen, ex cuse me for swearing before you. ‘By Jings’ is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a ’by’ before it was swearing.’ 1 The only time, however, that Lincoln - was ever heard really to swear wa» > on the occasion of his receiving a tela I gram from Burnside, who had bees r ordered a week before to go on to ths , relief of Rosecrans at Chattanooga, - who was in great danger of an attack j from Bragg. On that day Burnside - telegraphed from Jonesboro, furthei • away from Rosecrans than he was - when he received the order to hurry - toward him. When Burnside’s telegram j was placed in Lincoln’s hands he said, j“D n Jonesboro." He then tele j graphed Burnside as follows: “September 21, 1863.? a "If you are to do any good to Rose - crans it will not do to waste time al .- Jonesboro. A.
