The Lnam Twins, the famous
young comedians who appear at the
opera house March 24 had a funny
* Joke which turned ojjfr'TO be on them
and which leaked out through some
' drummers who thought It to good to
keep. While the twins were playing
Duiuth, Minn., a short time ago and
^topping at the Spalding Hotel there,
one of the boys went to the dining
tt>om and had his supper before .the
other and left, in m few moments ^ln
came the . other and the head waiter
looked at him very mysteriously and
aesAed him at tfte table remarking
be had never before eten a man who
could eat two ' suppers. The twin
told some drummers at the table who
when they heard the joke howled
- with delight, thinking the joke was
on the waiter. But next morning on
leaving the landlord had H. C. Ly
man charged with two suppers. He
protested, but the clerk, who was a
green country boy, said it was in the
book and ho had to collect the money.
The drummers all had another
laugh as the landlord could notNbe
found to straighten the matter out.
80 the twine had a laugh remarking
that's nothing, we get tangled up
worse than that and left for the train.

Philadelphia. March 21. ? The car
men today, arter an all-night session,
rejected the ultimatum of the Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company, and
the strike will go on. Preparations
to call the State-wide general strike
was Immediately made.
By the same vote as that by which
the first offer was turned down, the
representatives of the carmen this
mornlug, 12 to 7, injected the final
proposal for a settlement.
'It was declared that. the' State-wide

The Offer of Peace.
Philadelphia. March 21 ? The Phil
adelphia Rapid Transit Company
made another and final offer of terms
to the striking carmen today in the
hope qt averting the State-wide labor
war that hinges on todays' develop
ments in the. local situation. The ef
fort probably will fail and It' is ex-,
pected that the opening guns in the
great' industrial battle will be. fired
within . 24 hours.
Mayor John E.. Reyburn, reversing
his previous attitude toward the car
men and the' general strike, early
this morning, af^er the carmen had
definitely refused the peace terms of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany, made this offer to the men. fol
lowing conferences between the
mayor. Presidents Kruger of the
Transit Company, and Director of
Public 8aCety Clay, held after the re
jection of the carmen had been an
nounced, In the early hours of the
day.
With, his Anal offer, thfe mayor sub
mitted to the men a letter from Pres
ident Kruger. containing the last
proposition, of the Philadelphia Rapid

many .strikers, as possible,, with, the
payment by the company to all sur

provided foe them.

An annual increase of 1-2 cent an
hour until the wages reaches 2S

Recognition of a grievance , com
mittee and a reservation by, tile com
pany to recognize other grievance
committees. ??
The disposition of the cases of the |
178 men' whose discharge led to the
strike, by President Kruger and
President Driscall. of the carmen's
local.
x These proposals differ from those
rejected by the carmen In that the
jimbursement of the strikers not Im
mediately employed until Jobs are
open for them Is made $2 Instead of
fl.50, and the disposition of the
c<L8e& of the 178 Is by arbitration in
stead' of under the act of 1893.
On hearing of those terms, labor
leaders declared that - they differed
too slightly from those turned down
to mfke the settlement of* the rttrlke
more- provable. *
Pending a decision on the newer
offer, however, the State-wide gen
eral strike, expected for today, was
held In abeyance.

Washington, March 21 ? There was
a feeling of suppressed excitement
when the house met at noon today.
The galleries were filled In the ex
pectation that some sensational
scenes might-Take place, but this be
ing unanimous consent calendar day
the members were .Inclined to make
up for lost time and do some neces
sary business.
That Speaker Cannon did not In
tend to take any chances was shown
when Representative Foster of
mont. of the committee on foreign
affairs, said he desired to present the .
diplomatic and consular approprla*
tlon bill with senate amendments.
The Speaker reminded him that the
day was set aside for unanimous con
sent and MrToiter, to the amuse
ment of everybody, withdrew the re
port. thus avoiding another possible
conflict with the house rules.
Out of the turmoil of the historic
fliht in the house against Speaker
Cannon, one fact stands out today:
The prime result of the contest,
aside from ousting the speaker from
the rules committee is to assure the
tarrying out of the administration's {
plans. President Taft Is the chief ,
beneficiary. While the situation to
day is In a fluid state and regulars.
Insurgents and Democrats are prepar- ,
Ing to reshape the affairs of the
house, both factions of the 'Republi
can party declare that the expected
opposition to the Taft legislative pro
gram has been lost In the shuffle.
The Insurgent leaders today de
clared that they would be content to
allow the regulars to direct the
course of events, their great victory (
over Cannon satisfying them.

Taft bills ? and there Is certain to be
some opposition ? will not be based

problems.
The insurgents are bitter over the
denunciation made by Speaker Can
non after the battle In the house, in
which he branded the men who voted
to keep him in the chair as "cow
ards."
Among many of the rebels there is
an Inclination to resume, the battle,
particularly as the vote by which
Cannpn was retained In power. "by a
majority of 36, Is regarded by the
radicals as a concession and a favor,
brought about by the desire to save
"Uncle .Toe" from personal humilia
tion.
There Is every Indication today,
however, that the matter will be al
lowed to rest where It 1*.
[There could be little possibility,
Indeed, of any further action being
taken after the vote of confidence.
In the meantime the personnel of
the new rules committee is the most
pressing matter In the house.
Although the members of the house
have been resting after the terrific
strain of the war on Cannon, many
conferences between leaders of both
factlona have been held, and the
probable members of the new rules
committee are already being picked.
The wiseacres, although admitting
that It Is early to make any definite
prediction, agree to a large extent on
choosing Representative Dalzell. of
Pennsylvania, close friend of Can
non, and Representative Smith of
Iowa, to keep their places on the
committee. Champ Clark, the Demo
cratic leader. Is also regarded as be
ing likely to retain his place. An
other incumbent, however. Represen
tative IFtxgerald (Democrat), of
Brooklyn, Is In doubt, and a fight Is
?xpected before It will be decided
whether or not he retains his posi

peace seemed to reign, but It did no(
take many minutes for Roger to dis
cover something wrong. A consulta

house was surrounded. Policeman

door, and I^ucas guarded the rear,
while Adams in full armor stood sen

the aftermath being two long, son

everything was in turmoil and con
sternation. .The first run was made

act was the exploits of the flying lady

j progress, however, for she was soon
seen vaulting the high fence. This
feat was most gracefully performed.
This was followed by the tumbling
and juggling act. This part of the
performance semed to be led by the
proprietor of the place. He seems to
have been there before. The figures
he cut and the expressions he tised
would put to shame the saying .and
doings of a Mark Twain or an Afte

believed, and he readily saw to "pack

did It to the "Queen's taste" without
variations. Immediately after the
juggling act. window glasses, bottles,
etc., commenced to rattle. On the
next and' final run Harris and Roger
and several unknowns, occupants of
the Jolnf, strlved for supremacy. For
a time pantaloons, skirts, bottles,
