HOUSE BUILT
With Gold Bricks Taken From Golcon-
da Pits in India,
London,. April 2. -Gold (brecks--i
real ones -may be the means of re.
storing the ancient fame of Golconda,
near Hyderabad, in Southern India,
once known ore the world over for
its gold mines, but now a decayed
city.
The natural pits from 'which, many
centuries ago, the precious metal was
extracted have in course of time filled
up With water. A contractor recently
obtained permission to make bricks
near the place, and ten kilns were
erected.
The lied finished bricks aroused
curiosity by their yellowish tint, and
analyseproved that they contained
gold dust. On the basis of the yield
of the sample bricks, the ten kilne
will aggregate in weight about 12,867
pounces of gold, worth over $50,000,--
000.
The site of the find belongs to the
Nizam, or native ruler, whose affairs
are administered by t British some-
etary, who has worked hard for nine
yeans, to produce a surplus hi the
Nizenes lag annual budget el $15,-
000,000. It looks inaignificant new
compared with the result oe nine
days' brickmaking.

JAPAN ALLIANCE
AND PEACE TREATY
Agreement Between Britain and Japan
a Purely Defensive One.
Britain Would Side With Japan if
Attacked by the States.
Daily Graphic Thinks Peace Agree..
ment of Little Moment.
London, April 3.-L1tne attentibu so
farbae been paid here to the suggeetion
of a section of the American press that
the 'United States Shoulkl not be a party
to the proposed Anglo-American arbitra-
tion treaty, because of Great Britain's
treaty of alliance with Japan,
The Morning. Post, however, deals
with the question awe says:
"The treaty with Japan Is purely de-
fenelve. It binds both powera In Cam of
an attaelc by a third power upon certain
specific riglits And interests of either of
them, whielt are defined in its preamble,
to go to one another's assistance,
"American eommentatora think of war
between the United States and, Japan,
and imagine that in case of alma a war
England, is bound to be on the side et
Japan, That would be the ease if the
United States atta,cked Apart, but not
otherwise."
The Daily Grapliic is pessimietic On*
cerninithe treaty, and says:
It is already clear from semi-offioiel
statements published at Washington
that the treaty will lie little more than
what The Hague plenipotentiaries can
the Tome or 'Pius hope Joie what less
reverend persons might designate
'sham.'
"For our part, we believe the speech
of the German Chancellor, which has
been so loudly denounced by the pacific
will be found to carry us much further
along the road of international peace
and even disarmament, than the Wash-
ington negotiations."
WAS 1 FAILURE
The London Suffragette Attempt to
' Evasle Census Takers
Now Said to Have Been a Complete
Failure in London.
London, April 3. -What claims the
London suffragettes may make as to
the succese of their efforts to defy the
law and alien the census may be left
to the imagination. In the iudgment,
however, of quite inreartial :heavers of
the scenes which took niece in the laat
/rains of Sunday night and early hours
of this inorning nething could havebeen
more futile than the Trafalgar Square
and the Aldwych demonstrations.
Furthermore, the authorities took
quick steps to insure that the chief re-
quirements, at least, of the census be
fulfilled and at all gatherings enumer-
ators were present counting heads,
Both the Trafalgar Square and Aid-
-ivy& gatherings were declared to be con-
vincing demonstrations of suffragette
mismanagement. Partieularly was this
the crisp at the latter place' where at 2
ann. a crowd of about 600people, the
great majority of them men and boys,
were etruggling to gain admittance to
the elsatingerink which Mr& Pankhurst
and her assistants had hired. The suf-
fragette organizers and their male help-
ers were powerless to reditee the con-
fusion und preserve a semblanee of order
and the police had to be appealed to.

10 AVOID CENSUS
Suffragettes Quit Their Homes in
Ergland So as Not to be Counted,
Members of Men's Woman Suffrage
League in Fight.
London, A.pril 2, -The threatened
strike of the Seffragettes against the
census enumerators materialized ba
many places in Great Britain thee
morning, when the -work of the erne
mem:tore began. Many quit their aom.es
so as not to be counted, and assembled
in halls and. other places. The first
rallying point in London Was in Tree.
falgar Square where they hegen gatla
ering before Midnight. Soon a big crowd
was on hand, mostly made up of males
who had flocked to the scene in the
hope of seeing some excitement. A
pretty strbng force of police was there,
too, but they did not attempt to inter-
fere with the demonstrators. The whole
thing was a very impressive perform.
awe, and to liven things up a bit, a
number of youths started to inject life
into the prodeedings by jeering the wo.
men, Then they linked arms and rush•
ed amoug the varioue groups of Suffra-
gettes and their sympathizers. As the
row Inez -weed the police took a hand
and cleared the square without much
difficulty.
The woixien went to a skating rink
a half mile away. They bad hired it
in advance, and admission was by
ticket. A number of young men' ap-
parently medical students, triedto
rush dhe entrance, and a desperate
struggle ensued. Men and. women
were mixed up in the fray, and no
respect was shown either to individuals
or sex. A tussle took place for the pos.
session of the doorway, but the mem.
bers of the Mena Woman Suffrage
League, who were numerously repre.
stinted in the crowd, saved the day.
They repulsed the disturbers, but the
police gave them no assistance. The
members of the force looked idly on
while the straggle was in progress, and
seemed to enjoy the spectacle.
When the wornen finally made their
way into the rink they found the at-
tendance was not nearly up to mime-
tations. Inside the hall they were
extremely orderly. They made speech-
eseesang songs and listened to ttwomen'e
march.
They plannea to spend the entire
night -in the hall and go to a friendly
restaurant for breakfast. The enumer-
ators, it wail reported, would attempt

NEW CALENDAR

11.10•••••••••10
Churches Would Object to Putting
Sunday a Day Out.
New York, April 3. -The opinions of
university • authorities in the United
States are being sought by the backers
of the new British &theme for the revi-
sion of the calendar. "It would be of
the greatest toxtvenience in many ways,"
says Professor Harold Jacoby, of Colune
bin *University, in A statement on the
subject,
"A single ealelidar would serve for a
life thne and after a few years of prac-
tice with it you Would become so accus-
tomed to it that you voted hardly need
to refer to the printed form. The day on
which the first of each month fell would
soon be unconsciously memorized.
"But there is also a vital objection.
The odd day, which is to lee called New
Year's Day, really means that the Sun-
days on either side would be eight days
apart. This would involve a, violation
of the fourth commandment, and you
veould find the churches against it. As
soon as the clergy realizes that such a
change would mean such a violation, you
will hear their protests." -

Attacked Him,
Toronto, April 3. -In itrying to pro-
tect his companion from the knife of
on. Italian, A. J. hfeLaughlin, of 51
York etleset, was himself Mobbed in
the Savoy Hotel Saturday evening,
about 6 o'clock. Ile received one
wound in the neck and another just
above the hip, but fortunately neither
of them proved to be serious. He
was huetled to St. Michael's Hospital
in a. rtaxioab arid after being attended,
wets able to go home.
McLaughlin had with a friend by
the name of Sheridan.„ spent a good
part of the afternoon 131 the bar, and
the latter became very much intoxi-
cated. There were a number of Ital-
ians drinking in the place and Sheri-
dan insisted on buying drinks for
them. McLaughlin tried to stop him,
but could not. The Habana did not
understand what Sheridan was se.ying
and apparently thought, that he had
said something which deserved re-
earl:mint.
MoLaughlin says he saw the Ital-
ian run at Sheridan with the knife,
but he grabbed Sheridan and rushed
him out of the bar. He was just
coming hack to try to explain things
when the Italian jumped on him with
the knife. The other Italians then
hurried the fellow countryman out a
rear door and he has not yet been
caught. 'The police know whe he it,
however, and an arrest will likely be
made to -day. -
