The res olution called for the substitution of the system now In vogue In Switzerland, where every man bears an arm, but eacn individual is permitted to Koep ui- V.l'.ll III IIIH VWII IIUIll. . The aflvn-1"7" eaten of the measure maintained that if members of the militia knew that worklngmen were ready to shoot back. there would be no usurpation of rights upon the part of the mllltla. The reso lution was defeated after an hour's de bate. A measure, likewise Introduced by the Socialists, calling for tne pensioning of all workers after they had reached the age of 60, also was defeated by a large vote. 4 PER CENT. FOR CALL MONEY. The Top Figure of the Tear Readied in sew )Tork. New York, Nov. 22. The rate for call money, which opened at 21 per cent. this morning, advanced to 4 per cent, early this afternoon, a considerable amount being loaned at the high figure. The last hour of the market the rate went down to H to 3 per cent.' The high rate of to-day Is the top figure for the year. Several reasons were ad vanced to account for the sudden rise. Among them Is the fact that some of the large banks torday called loans with which to husband their resources. and other banks, which have right along been loaning largeamounts oh call, were not lenders to-day. Added to this is the cpming bond sale by the city and preparations to meet certain large corporate payments. In the last half-hour the rate again advanced to 4 per cent., but closed at 31. Among the lenders of money to-day were J. P. Morgan & Company, who had not been active in the money mar ket ror many months. Mereiiant Marine Oonunlasloa to Offer a Bill.

DUTY OF THE INDIVIDUAL ,. A SPEECH IIY THE PRESIDENT. lug. How INiverty and Suffertng may ue iieiievHi. Washington, Nov. 22. President Kooswvell Introduced the itv. Charles Wagner, ihe author, to a lara audi- ence at Ihe La Fayette Opera House this evening, wnerc, under the auspties of mc loung Men s Christian Association, he delivered a lecture on "The Simple Life." Given under the patronage of a uumoer or well-known officials and society people, the audience which gathered to hear the author was a thoroughly representative one of the national eupllul. The President, who Is a great admirer of Mr. Wagner, was given a cordial reception. In present ing the lecturer, the President com mended Mr. Wagner's book, "The Simple Life," as containing much thnt Americans should take to heart. Mr. Roosevelt said: "Mr. Wagner has well brought out the great fundamental truth that tho brutal arrogance of a rich man who looks down upon a poor man because he Is poor, and the brutal envy and hatred felt by a poor man toward a rtch man, merely because he Is rich, are at bottom twin manifestations of Ihe same vice. They are simply differ ent sides of the same shield. The arro gance that looks dawn In the one esse, tho envy that hates In the other, are really exhibitions of the same mean, base and unlovely spirit, which hap pens In one case to be In different sur roundings from what It is In the other case. The kind of man who would be arrogant In one case Is precisely the kind of man who would be envious and filled with hatred In the other. The Ideal should be the Just, the gen erous, th broad-minded man, who Is as Incapable of arrogance If rich as he is of malignant envy and hatred If poor." (Applause.) The President spoke a few words' commending the work of the Y. M. C. A. as trying to bring about what ts cxprsd In tho phrase, "The Fatherhoixl of God and the Brother hood of Man." He then proceeded to Illustrate by examples what he means! by a man acting Individually and by a man acting In association with his fellows. The President referred to the work of the Civic Club In New York, under the leadership of Norton Goddard, saying that "the entire club membership of 8,000 or 4,000 men prac tically form n committee of better ment In social and civic life, each member keeping a sharp lookout over the fortunes of all his Immediate neighbors, of all of those of his neigh bors who do not come within the ken of some other member of the club. Therefore, any case of great destitu tion or great suffering In the district almost inevitably comes to the atten tion of some member of the club, who then reports It at headquarters, so that steps can be taken to alleviate the misery; and I have reason to believe that there has been as a consequence a very- sensible uplifting, a general in crease of haplness, throughout the district. If we had a sufficient num ber of clubs of this kind throughout our great cities, while we would not by any means have solved all of the terrible problems that picas upon us for solution In connection with munici pal misgiving, and with the overcrowd ing, misery, vice, disease and poverty of great cities, yet we would have taken n lonir stride forward In ihe right direction toward their solution. So much for the exnmple that I use I to Illustrate what f mean by work j In combination. j "As an example what can be done, i and should be dona by the Individual j citizen, I shall mention something that ( recently occurred In this i lly of Wash ington. It appears that last spring j Mr. Downey started to build a new livery stnlilc; his stable is next door! to a colored Ituptist church.

That brought the wall close up against the back of the colored Baptist church, cutting out the light and air. The preacher called upon him and told him that they would like to purchase a strip six feet broad of the ground of Mr. Downey, upon which he was intending to build, as It would he a great In convenience to them to lose the light and air; that they were aware that It was asking a good deal of him to cramp the building out of which he Intended to make his livelihood, but that they hoped he would do It. be--iniHe of their need.

Mr. Itowney came to the oiicluslon that he ought to grant the. request, und so he untitled them that he would change his plans, make a somewhat smaller building, and sell them the six feet of land in the strip adjoining their church. After a little while, the preacher came around with the trustees of his church, and said that they very much appreciated Mr. Downey's courtesy, and were sorry they had Itothcred him as they had, because, .in looking Into the affairs of the church, they found that as they were already In debt, they did not feel warranted in incurring any further financial obligations, and so they had to withdraw their request. They thanked him for his kindly purpose, and said good-bye. But Mr. Downey found he could not get to sleep that night, until finally he made up his mind that, as they could not buy It, he would give It to them, anyway, (ap plause) which he did.

In order to find htm. it is aller ea Miss Corelle strolled from the Rus sian camp ana very cneenuiiy allowed aome Chinese bandits to capture her. This was about ten days ago. The next step In her scheme waa to become a Japanese prisoner or raeu their lines. The bandits, It Is asserted, allow ed her to communicate with the French consul at New Chwang, following which a detail of Jananese soldiers reached their camp, and Miss Correlle was tak en to cw chwang. She tried to secure permission to go to Japan and search for her lover, but the Japanese gave her 24 hours In which to leave the town, suspecting her of being a spy. The French consul at Chefoo Is now en deavoring to obtain permission for Miss correlle to nurse the wounded Russians In Japan. JAPS LOSE BOO MEN.
