Foreign Minister, Sir Edtt.rd Gray,

there is nothing unusual in ti;e |
fact that the foreign secretary

believed here that advantage will be
taken of the occasion to bring
France and England to a better
understanding. During just the pas',
two years French diplomats have
repeatedly asked themselves ju:«t
whai Franco might expect from
England in case of a serious Euro

believed, will supply an" answer

application for the tranference of
his Pine creek hotel lic«.ise from
that place to O'Donncll river.
This will be welcome news to the

Sands is one of the best known anri
most popular hotel men in northern
British Columbia.
Besides his hotel interests Mr.
Sands owns valuable placer property
cn the O'Donnell river, snd one of
the reasons given for his contem->
plated move is that by being per

his claims, which work he is very
anxious to go ahead with at as
early a date as possible.

JINGOES GOME
THICK AND FAST
By ARTHCR W. DUNN.
Washington, April 24—(Special)
It is not one scare it is another. One
day It is Japan, another it is Germany,
then .Mexico, and then all South Amer
ica.
But Senator James Hamilton Lewis
rolled all of them into one and threw
England and France in to make good
measure an! in one short speech
snati-hed from us the Philippines, Ha
waii. Alaska, the Panama canal and
control of Mexico—such as it is—and
abolished the Monroe doctrine. After
ward a newspaper man came out of the
gallery and remarked, "What a wonder
ful imagination that man has!"
Then came the scare about the money
conditions In the treasury department
The income tax is not going to raise
en on? I) money, and there will be a
shortage because the tariff has been re
duced 011 imported articles. That scare
was not extensive, for the people In
general believe that in some way or
other money will be forthcoming to pay
the expenses of the government In
spite of all they are saying about our
fc. '>s old Uncle Sam will still have
good credit
The Way of tho Senate.
"If this is foing to open op one of
our usual parliamentary discussions
hc-rc- 1 shall decline to yield further.
I want to be accommodating, but I can
sr<e a broad field opening up for dis
cussion."
Thus spoke Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon, svlio was In charge of two of
t'.v army appropriation bills and want
ed to have them passed. He referred
to the trend of the discussion, which
was then over certain parliamentary
oroecdure and rules. Isn't it strange
i hat as long as the senate has been
running it is constantly in a turmoil
over its method of procedure and what
its rules mean? However, the senate
is not much different from the house In
:bis regard, for much time is consumed
In the house over points of order and
•iarllamuntary procedure.
Gardner's Burden.
Several years ago Congressman Gard
ner nf Massachusetts jocularly remark
ed that lie was "trying to live down
his father-in-law." It was at a dinner
that he told what a burden it was to
have a distinguished father-in-law.
During the debate on the canal tolls
he had that burden thrust upon him
again. Gardner was favoring the re
peal, and different members of the
house who took the opposite side kept
quoting Senator Lodge on the meaning
of tho treaty, which was to the effect
that the United States had the right to
regulate charges on its coastwise trade,
and Gardner was kept quite busy in
defense of his father-tn-law. It remind
ed one of Frederick Marryat's novel
"J.nihot In Search of a Father."
