Marsh Gets Money Changed.
"Of course was interested, and asked
MIN the second time about the meeting,
and he told me that Marsh had come
into his office one day shortly before he
left Rio and asked him to change some
American money. Marsh gave his name
rs George w. Morrison. Ho told Mr.
Gangford that he had heard chat he was
about to return to the United States,
and he thought therefore that he would
oblige him by making the exchange.
ste said he had not been in Rio great
while and wanted to go on to one of the
smaller provinces"
Mr.. Langford said that when he saw
the bills which Morrison gave them
were those of Philadelphia bank, he at
once suspected that it was Marsh, of
whom he had read great deal. He
had shaved his mustache, but otherwise
ihe answered the description of Marsh
perfectly.
When Mr.. Langford questioned him
about Philadelphia, he became quite
nervous and wanted to change the con-
Rersation. Mr.. Langford was positive
that it was Marsh for whom he changed
the money. He did not call again and
Mr.. Langford thinks he went into the
interior Of Brazil.

Commodore MelvilIe's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. The annual
report of Commodore Melville, engineer
in-chief Of the navy and chief of the
bureau of steam engineering, shows that
during the past fiscal year work has been
done on the machinery of almost every
vessel in the navy. Speaking of the
engineer corps, Commodore Melville
says that he is again compelled to report
that the number of engineer officers is
insufficient for the proper performance
of the duties belonging to them and to
emphasize the fact that unless measures
are at once taken to remedy this condi-
ton and to stop the steady decrease in
numbers, we shall before long have
painful awakening by serious break
down or accident ON some of our vessels.

died very suddenly on Thanksgiving
night. The neighbors claim that Miss
Bishops death was due to poisoning,
while Others heard that her death was
from more serious cause, and that tile

health up to Wednesday night, when

VIENNA, Nov. S0-The doctors are
particularly interested in the case of
septuagenarian who was admitted to a
hospital here. 1t is said that the man
was recently attacked with religious
mania, and became impressed with the
idea that he was called upon to make
sacrifice. He therefore procured seven
nails, each three inches long, and ham

News of Interest in the Old World.
PARIS, Nov. 30.-The Germans are
disturbed and anxious about the ru-
mors with regard to Emperor Williams
mental health. 1t is suspected that the
kaiser is insane. Various recent events
have given rise to the fear that the i'm
perial mind is unhinged. The pessimists
at court look back with regret to the
times of the old Emperor William. They
have noticed something strange and
shifty in the eyes of the young sovereign
for some time past, something which re-
minds one of the late luckless Louis of
Bavaria. Nor have their fears been
greatly lessened by the kaiser's growing
taste for the drama, in which they see
another sinister analogy between the
two monarchs.
William as an Impresairo.
They were particularly struck last
spring by the intense interest shown by
the kaiser in Wildenbruch's play Of
''Der Neue Herr" in which reference
was made to his conflict with Prince
Bismarck.
Since then he has had the production
of new and worthless piece postponed
in order to attend the performance.
Everything relating to the stage
seems to fascinate him just now Some
months ago he deputed a general to
teach the ballet at the opera house
military dance. A short time after he
issued his rescript against immortality
and gave orders that the business" in
certain plays in which the military char
acters had to put their arms around the
waists of pretty village maidens should
be altered.
Changes of Dress.
The kaiser's well known mania for
changing his uniforms is another odd
symptom. On one occasion he donned
an admirals uniform at Potsdam to go
boating in.
His fondness for reviews, for 'falarums
and excursions" is no secret He delights
in surprising his garrisons, awakening
his troops and their officers at unexpected
moments. When the whim takes him
he will keep them at their drill all night
and day.

Moro Power to Our Navy.

The argument Of Secretary TRACY for
carrying on with vigor the rebuilding OF
the American navy Is unanswerable. To
defend our coasts and our commerce. to
protect the lives and rights Of American
citizens in foreign lands. to uphold the
honor Of the flag everywhere. is the imper-
alive duty Of the Government. This cannot
be done without strong navy.
We need now. says the Secretary. two
more big cruising battle ships like the Indi-
ana: q second vessel like the New York.
which Is 1.-The best all-around vessel OF any
type" at least one torpedo cruiser, to be
had by slightly increasing an existing ap-
propriatlon; four vessels OF about 1. 200 tons
each for river service on the Asiatic and
South Atlantic stations; finally. an effective
fotilla Of torpedo boats.
The Navy Department can go to Congress
with confidence on the record OF Its past
work. which is such as all can see and praise.
It Is building two great cruisers which in
combined speed and coal endurance have
no equal anywhere: three belted war ships
that will not hesitate to fight anything
afloat; the New York. which Mr.. TRACY
we'll calls "a magnificent vessel" Mean
while model ordnance establishment is
turning out superb batteries for the ships.
and has produced 1.-THE best armor plate
