On the first test ote, taken to decide whether the House should consider the Kahn resolution, introduced in the interest of San Francisco, or the Estoplnal bill. which had the support of the New Orleans contingent, San Francisco won out by a ote of 1SS to 159 After the Kahn resolution had been debated for an hour or more it was finally passed 253 to 43. Practically the entire session of the House was given ivcr to the Panama Canal Exposition measures A bitter fight led up to yesterday's proceedings, and every seat on the floor and practically every seat in the gallery was occupied New Orleans captured the Committee on Expositions and Industrial Arts, getting a favorable report from that committee on the Estoplnal bill, but the San Fran-ciscoans had counted noses and predicted that the Kahn resolution would be passed The two measures were brought in un der the terms of a rule which enabled members of the House to indicate their preference between the two cities Members from the Coast and members from the South followed with keen interest the reading of the roll call, and from tlnie to time, as the name of the favorite city, according to the point of view, was pro nounced by a Representative, the galler ies broke Into applause.

If you love rhe as I love ou, No knife can cut our love in two.

Thus did Secretary of the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh view the relation between President Taft and Col. Theodore Roosevelt last night, when he made a talk before the National Press Club on his favorite hobby. It was hobb) night at the club, and a number of distinguished citizens and diplomats spoke right out in meeting about what ideas they entertain on various subjects. TFT MaeVEtGH'S HOBB. Mr MacVeach's hobb seemed to be President Taft, whom he eulogized at length -U, 1 Toward the close of his remarks I he referred to the relations between the prsent President and his predecessor, and denominated as mere nothings the reports of differences between them, to be treated gently.

He declared that both Mr. Taft and Col Roosevelt have too keen a sense of humor to take seriously the assertions that the are at loggerheads Said Mr MacVeagn: "Altogether it is a most Interesting and refreshing thing to see such a man as Mr. Taft In the Presidency. Where he falls to score he is the victim of his virtues He meets life with cheerfulness and with a frank welcome to its happiness. He has the peace which properly comes from his threefold courage his physical, moral, and intellectual courage And he has the crowning gift of humor whose saving quality was a while ago.

In a very Important matter. so conclusively shown The President shares this humor with his friend Roose velt. So that it was a foregone con- elusion from the start that the strange Pagewho never has-anyrWorrr rtrnfm iralir-tit uia i-i efforts these two men would fail The theory that the "way to make the Republican party strong Is to break It into little bits was too much for the humor of these humorous old friends Regarded as Sia-ntflcant. Coming, as Mr. MacVeagh's remarks did, from a member of Mr.

Taffs official family, the members and guests of the club took it as a sort of official statement that If there had been war between the two eminent Republicans, the dove of Deace had descended upon them and they were now In sweet accord Gen Leonard Wood, Chief of Staff of the United States army, rode his hobby full tilt. He said the United States was bound, in the course of human events, to have to go to war at some time in the future His plea was that the on! sensible thing to do was to be prepared for the inevitable, a which met with hearty applarjuse Ambassador Bryce. of Great Britain.

Once each vear a limited number of distinguished gentlemen ara invited to the National Press Club, taa to talk for ten minutes on the subject that is closest to his heart It is a noteworthy fact that when these eminent guests take the members of the National Press Club Into their confidence, they are In reality speaking to the newspaper readers of America.

Making allowances for duplication, cnl for infants and illiterates, it Is estimated that three out of every four persons in our population read some newspaper every day. Newspapers are nowprlnted in thirty-live languages in the. United States In the amount of capital invested, the publishing business for some time has stood seventh among all American industries, and it is probable thit the new census will show a gain to fifth or even to fourthsplace.

From these facts It will be seen that the power of the press' is no misnomer." Bowqaet for TVewsffatherers. Mr. Boce explained that there was nothing in England like the Washington corps of correspondents. The reason was that the country la so small and tho great London dailies circulate so widely In it that there was no occasion for sue work. He-thanked the American newspaper men for the considerate" and conservative manner in which, they had treated him.
