more to satisfy his cravings fol muslcal So
ciety in the Austrian capital than In Spain"
Logic so cogent as this was unanswerabie.
Mr. Kelley. being an accomplished fiddler, flute
rIovar and piauist. could not consent to serve
his country ut Madrid. He must move with
serene and constant poise in muslcai atmos-
phere. The Italian school OF music might nave
satisfied less exacting critic, but Sir' heiicy
"a Wagnerian fiddler would not nave ieit ae
home there. The light. ephemeral music at INC
oDera and the sentimental racket OF inc seree'
ORGANS would have driven him wild In home.
Tn Vienna he would find congenlM husieai
noonle With whom he could converse as I'M
aftactedlv ma with the first families OF klch-
mond Tho cravings OF his sensitive nature
would ha satisfied. In the intervals OF Official
h,s;noss ba could turn to his flute with Dick
Su;,,Iler,s industry and ardor, and have no
fears of calling in the Vienna police to suppress
-. IN Rome might have been considered an
indictment TO riot. And then, the chess con-
oressesl How much the Richmond statesman
would find in these 10 stimulate his diplomatic
energies and 10 minister to intellectual reiaAa-
t;on Even if Mr.. Kelley had been able to en-
dure the Italian school of music, he could nave
had at Rome no chess worthy of the name.
The bosom friend has rendered PUBIC
service. not only IN disclosing the secret MS
tory of this mysterious appointment but also IN
interpreting Secretary Bayard's general polcy
in filing vacancies in the diplomatic service.
The first intimation of his purpose was received
when it was announced that one oil the oouth
American missions had been conferred upon an
enthusiastic bug-hunter who was anxious 10
make tropical collection. Mr.. Kelley Is now
sent to Vienna, where he can fiddle TO his
hearts content in musical atmosphere and
attend chess congresses. Apparently dlplo-
matte appointments are made for the sake OF
gratifying the caprices of MI. BayaIds personal
friends. On this principle some obscure Con-
federate veteran, who has never been aole 10
cross the ocean and fancies that the climate at
Rome will benefit his wife's health, may be sent
TO Italy. Nor can we forget that Mr.. Tweed
who was always reputed to be Democratic
statesman, played "seven-up" all the way
across seas during his last voyage from Spaln'
sometimes turning five jacks out OF single
mack One of the veteran card players OF Tam
many Hall. who happens to enjoy Mr.. Bayard
friendship, may BIO sent TO Madrid to learn Il
few new gambling games, precisely as Mr.
Kelley goes to Vienna for chess practice.

KEJLEY,S BOSOM FRIEND.

The mystery connected with Mr.. Keiley's Dip
lomatic adventures is now explained. Like the
President he has bosom friend for whom
he turns his soul inside out like pocket.
From the moment the Richmond dplomatists
name was mentioned ia connection with
foreign capitals, he has known precisely
where his characteristic talents would have
full play. Having been loaded to the
muzzle with exclusive information for several
months. this candid friend explodes with loud
renort as soon as the transfer of Mr.. Kelley
from Rome to Vienna is announced. lie states
that MIR. Bayard, having taken psins to sound
the Italian Minister al Washington, ascertained
that the American Minister would not be
cordially received at Rome, and promptly
offered to transfer him either to Madrid or
vienna. Mr.. Kelley, in deep perplexity of mind,
besought his bosom friend H. tell him what Le
ought to do. Thcrcupon the discreet adviser
delicatey reminded him of his musical talents.
MIR. Kelley, it seems. plays on several instrn-
ments, including the violin, flute and piano.
He is also extravagantly fond OF the diplomatic
game of chess What could DO palmer than his
duty to his country under the circumstances
In Vienna chess congresses arc held and the
American Minister will have fine opportunity
for watching the games and improving his
practice. Moreover, he will be certain to lind

ton. He can be certain of the ala Oh MI
{, code in all efforts of that kind.

Senator Eustis's criticism of the Administra-
ton seems to be the outcropping OF good deai
of dissatisfaction in the Democratic rank
The old "war horses" do not relish being iaiu
aside to please Secretary Bayards obscure
friends But so far as the grievance OF sena-
tor Eustis is concerned, it calls for no sympathy
from Republicans. He is the product oil 'ne
worst ring of politicians that ever disGraceo
the State of Louisiana, and that is saying q
good deal. Had that ring not committed tne
most outrageous frauds, Senator Eustis woulu
not be serving term in the Senate. HIS
grievance arises from the fact that the riesi-
dent chose for Naval Officer Democrat whose
sense of decency was enough to lead nm 10
vote for a Republican in preference to a ring

C0MMkRCE. DESTROYERS

In the event of war it is certain that Russia
would launch swift cruisers upon the British
mercantile marine. She had. year ago, twenty
vessels built or altered to fit them FOR this SER
vice. OF these, eight are volunteer merchant
steamers, bought by patriotic citizens of Mos
COW, aud the remainder arc Government YES
sells. four of them having been built in this
country. All of these cruisers carry six-inch
guns, and can make fifteen knots an nour; and
tho majority can carry coal enough
TO steam from twenty to twenty-eight days at
full speed. This last is an important considera-
ton, for it goes ia. to answer the question how
tho Russian cruisers ere to carry coal. But they
are not without other resources. Many of the
British coaling stations are undefendea, and the

n,pK DIYS For MR.. THOMPSON.

DARH D31S run Mn. dHVnIoV%''
In the Board of Estimate and Apportionment
the other day, Mayor Grace made good
bumored but cutting reference 10 the practice
which has prevailed in the Department OF
Public Works of grabbing for all the unex-
pended balances within reach in order TO turn
them over 10 the salary account. Under Hubert
O. Thompson's administration this abuse
reached proportions that were highly gratifying
to Mr. Thompson's political parasites but were
extremely disagreeable to taxpayers. The
MAYORS allusion to this abuse seems TO indicate
that Mr.. Thompson is not running things for
Mr.. Grace. Yet il the big boss of the County
Democracy had not nominated the present oc-
cupant of the Mayors chair, Mr.. Grace would
still be adjoining private station. Can 1t be
that the unhappy Hubert is now feeling the
SHARPNESS of the serpents tooth in his very
yitals 7
Mr.. Cleveland az yet has done nothing for him
and seems, indeed, to fight rather shy OF his
portly friend who procured his nomination at
Chicago. Every one knows what Mr. Thompson
would like. But will the President venture to
outrage public opinion by putting in the
Collectors Office the ex-Commissioner OF Public
Works who so shamelessly msmanaged his
Office as to compel the severest censure from the
Grand Jury. from the legislative investigating
committee, from the press and from the great
body of citizens7 Yet VIC suppose the Presl-
dent will feel under obligation to pay his big
debt to Mr.. Thompson in some way. Why not
offer him the Corean mission or the Consulslip
at Madagascar

The latest war news indicates slight relaxa-
ton in the tension between England and Rus
STA. If the proposal for arbitration on one or
more of the points of difference is accepted
it will be likely to delay for considerable
time declaration of war, if not entirely avert
it. The reports show an increasing probability
of such arbitration. Both sides are apparently
willing to negotiate, but no time is lost in pre-
pairing for conflict.

Only eleven Jurors out of eighty-ive called
in the trial of Richard Short have yet been
secured. and some OF these will probably be
excused on peremptory challenge on Monday.
All who have so far been excused were preju-
diced against the prisoner, and some OF them
frankly admitted that nothing could alter their
bias. A significant feature of the proceedings
ia that all those excused read the daily papers.
Their opinions were founded on this source OF
information. 1t is unfortunate that jurymcn,
as n rule. have to be taken from that small
class of persons who do not read the news
papers.
The Legislature cannot afford to ignore the
large petition presented by the Young Mems
Republican Club and various other organiza-
lions, in behalf of the proposed constitutional
amendment regulating elections. The pet-
TONERS merely ask that the amendment be sub
mitted to vote of the people. Even then 1t can
have no effect without the favorable action OF
another Legislature This is a small favor to
ask of the present body. Ii does not commit 1t
tn the merits of the amendment, but leaves the
ouestion to be decided by the people of the
State. No reasons have yet been offered why
such prayer should not be granted.
Secretary Cars answer 10 the RESOLUTION in
troduced in the Senate yesterday concerning
the State census will probably end the con-
troyersy on that subject. There is no reason to
believe that the Secretary can proceed with the
work of taking the census without an appro-
priation. The Governor has informed the Leg
islature that he will not approve any such APP
propriatlon, unless the methods in use since
1926 are changed, and the law repealed under
which Democratic Secretary OF State took the
.decenniaI census of 1875. The Legislature is
not likely to repeal that Law, which has worked
we'll, simply because the Secretary OF State at
this time happens to be Republican.
In the appointment of Sir. Goode. an ex-Con-
federate, as Solicitor General. the Democrats
of the South secure their control over the De-
partment of Justice. That was the one thing
they specially desired. They hope now to be
rid entirely OF the necessity OF even making
show OF compliance with the Federal election
laws. Mr.. Goode. who secured seat In
Congress by frauds committed In defiance OF
those laws, and who was afterward badly de-
fcated when the laws were enforced, VIII DC
certain to use his influence to nullify them.

Returned.
sen francisco Chronicle.
Many years a2p anew two men who
lived together. They had a common
bond in mutual delirium tremens occa-
sionally. But they never ceased trying
to save one another. They once had
long sober spell, and friend went to
dinner with them one night. After din
ner, at which there had been no wine,
the meaning of which my friend under
stood, one of the hosts left the room.
As soon as the door was closed the re-
naming host spoke:
"Will you have a drink, old fellow p
II don't mind. l don't much care
about it, though"
well, you see, old boy, Jones drinks
like fish and he is so weak against
temptation that / always keep all the
liquor locked up. If he gets one glass
he's gone"
And he took key out of his pocket,
opened the sideboard, took from the
right hand corner bottle of brandy and
locked the door again.
Here you are. Help yourself, old
man. It's good
The visitor poured out a drink and
swallowed it, aud the host took the bot
lie, putting the visitors glass carefully
away.
Excuse me a minute" he said, II
don't want Jones to see me drink any
thing"
AS hs went out of the room, hiding
the bottle under his coat. his associate
came in. The door closed.
Have drink, my hoy :" said the re-
lieving host.
ooh, yes; don't mind"
You see, old fellow, that - fool
show him liquor. He can't stand it. He
gets dts when he begins. So I always
lock up the drink. It's terrible thing
terrible"
Then he took a key out of his pocket
| opened the same sideboard, took out Of
| the left-hand corner a bottle of gin anC
| locked the place again.
Here you are, old boy. Drink

The visitor poured out a glass of gin
| and left it on the table. Jones took the
| bottle.
You'll excuse me. I don't want

Neither of them turned up again that
evening. Neither did the brandy no.
