The Allied Military Con ol Commission was supposed to are stripped the country at military laterial, but the fact remains that oth these, organisations are fully quipped apd number many thouinds. Recently the police found in no of the "taeiuswehr" headquarters ot only guns end loaded clubs but and grenades and poison gases. Incidents in Styria recently showed le danger of these factions. In one Etae strikers^captuned and disarmed endarmes seat to subdue disturb nces, whereupon the governor of the rovincs ordered out the local detachlents of the army.

The explanation is-found in he hrt that the arnvernnr had. at the ame time, assembled 2,000 of hts heimwehr" and pat them behind the oldiery to see they did what they rere told to do. The two forces narrowly avoided serious clash recently in Judenerg, Styria, and this incident showed ven more elearly the latent danger bat lies in this condition of affairs.

Thirty J ears ago the cases coming before the ' xirt had so increased that legislation as enacted placing1 in tha hands of le court itself the right to say 1 hether or not. it was to rthe public v iteresl that it should hear cases of ' >me classes which defeated litigants, fter going through two lower fed- * ral courts, wished to afpeal. Since this legislation reduced the ' urden on the Supreme Coot, in 1891, 1 isre has gradaully developed a recur. 1 mce of the old trouble; the constant- * 1 widening held of federal legislation " 83 multiplied cases of sorts which a nder the old legislation the litigants 1 >uld in effect compel the Supreme ourt to hear, even though the court c >uld find in them no new question of 1 iw.

The Mult is that the ordinary case con- ? ot be heard for 16 months after it r caches the Supreme Oaurt, and last ear the court was not able to keep kren with its docket, ending the year bout 20 per cent farther behind than 1 October, d'21. The Supreme Court made three of s members a committee to suggest leans for reducing- number of &8es that in the future reach the ourt's docket. This committee recmmended that Congress should still urther enlarge the' court's power to revent cases coming bsisre it which, i its opinion, do not raise important uestions of law that hava been undeided. Bills for this purpose ate pendig in Congress.

Executioners Ask High Rate For Services / Niagara Falls, Ont., Dec. 21.? Wetland county officials are wosrying about a double hanging which is set wo wane piace in tne county j?n uu January 12th. One of the chief cauaea of concern ia that no official hang, man has yet been engaged. In response to a recent advertisement several applications were .filed, but the fees demanded, ranging from $200 to $800, were considered too high. In the paat, officials said, $50 was sufficient to get a man to fasten the black cap on a condemned man and spring the trap. The men sentenced to die are Harry Rutka and Nick Thomas. They killed a neighbor in a row over a reek estate deal.

First it was said the widowed queen, who was a Danish princess before she married the late emperor Alexander III, would return to Denmark in five or six weeks; now it is rumored in court circles that the visit may be indefinite. Maria Feodorovna crossed the Channel at Oatend.

"Heavy earthquake in Chile with idal wave, may reach you," read a irivate radio message received here November 12 from New Zealand.

The mayor f Papeete, being the only elective oficial on the island, is a aort of tribune o the people and he aaw at once a hancs to loom large in the eyes of lis constituency. The mayor gathered about him his oothsayers, astrologers and mathenaticlans, and they figured and measired and cast horoscopes about that idal wave and finally reached the onclusion that it would strike the sland with devastating fury on the light of November 15 or the morning f the 16th. Native heralds were sent out with iass drums to warn the nihabitants. 'anic resulted in many sections. The Chinese storekeepers piled their vares into all immediate transportaion and headed for the high hills vhere they were joined by a goodly )ortion of tta population bearing tanging lamps, family Bibles, eight lay clocks, racking chain, portraits >f deceased relatives and utter preci>us possessions. Two days and tights the refugees camped in the ipen, scanning the horizon for the vail of water. On November 17 they B -uturned. H What actually happened was a B phenomenon of irregular tides on the B ;vening of November 17, when the I ;ea ebbed and flowed at intervals of Ifteen minutes, five or six times from B xtreme low water to above the usual g ugh water mark. In the Marquesas Islands the sea -ose 12 feet above the high water nark on the same date but no damwas reported Strange Monster Cask Up From the Sea Lima, Peru. Dec. 21.?The tidal ivaves which recently devastated parts of the coaai of Chile cast upon he beach a* the same time a strange ieniaen of the deep whose like has not been seen in these waters in many years. It would eg pear to he a cross between a whale and a turtle. Fishermen at Lerta, 2* miles from I Lima, reported a huge cetacean (loundering in the shallow waters of the bsy. Then they sent out word it I was an unknown monster of the sea, I and that they had killed it. 9 The director of the Natural Historv 1 Museum of the University of San I Marcos and the official taxidermist 1 made a trip to Lurin for the purpose ? of studying and classifying the ~ strange visitor. They found an ani mal with the body of a whale, but with a head and extremities resembling those of a turtle. After examination they came to the conclusion htat it belonged to the family of "Balaenidae" cetaceans, inhabiting the South Pacific waters. It is supposed that it was carried along by the Humboldt current and thrown up on the beach by the tremendous surfs following the tidal watves of the Chilean earthquake. The specimen will be brought back to Lima for mounting and will be preserved in the University Museum. Among the most marvelous pieces of recent art is the new bronxo statue of Theodore Roosevelt unveiled in Portland, Oregon, a short time ago.
