WASHINGTON, March democratic
leaders are trying to find out what will
be the Republican silver policy. 1t is
well understood that the party is
against free coinage unless an interna-
tional agreement can be had. In the
ranks of tie party there is little divi-
sion OF sentiment on this point. In
Congress the silver States which have
Republican Senators naturally give the
free coinage people some encourage
rent. But even here there is little to
show that any consider able portion Of
the Republican party favors free coin
age.
The Democratic leaders, while know
ing well the general sentiment OF the
pJr1y, want to find just what form il
will take in the pending Legislation
They have no doubts that the great
majority of Republican Representatives
snd Senators will vote against free
coinage. If they could find out whether
this same majority would help them TO
prevent a vote at all they would be
much easier in their minds. There is
no reason to think that the Republican
leaders will aid such scheme. They

Experi ments with CcliuIolsc.

WASHINGTON, March THE Navy De-
partment authorities have determined
to make some extensive experiments
with celluloisc, the new material used
in the construction of French vessels
for the purpose of preventing the in
fow of water through holes made by
the penetration of projectiles. The
United States steamship Hartford has
been detailed for this purpose. The
peculiar properties of the material,
which is composed of the ground fiber
of the COCO nut with the glutinous por-
tions removed. causes it to swell like a
sponge immediately upon coming in
contact with the water. 1t also has
the advantage of lightness and Of be-

up in an armchair and fully

OF q martyr. AS the line OF death
crept nearer and nearer his heart he
made calculations as to how much
longer he could live. He said: Now

ASHLAND, VS., March lowing to
the mild weather of the last few days
the log cut of this section is largely
curtailed. The camps will soon break
up, a month earlier than was antici-
pated. A conservative estimate of the
cut in the Ashland district is placed at
100000, 600 feet. Eight new mills will
begin work soon. The quality of the
pine is much superior to that of former
seasons, owing to the fact that most is
cut in the interior back from the lake.
