tempt to Escape. ss!FAt5%''@f Boston, Aug. 12.-John McGeachey and Thomas Connerty last Tuesday morning attempted to escape from the lCharlestown state prison by cutting the bars of their cell doors with files and saws which had been smuggled into them. They had succeeded Very we'll in their. work of severing the bars when officers discovered the plot. How they got the tools with which to do the cut ting is a mystery. Both have been con fined in the. arch since last June and have been refused the privilege of vis- 5itors as they were under punishment and serving a term which is known asi light solitary" The only work they have been performing has been the cane seating of chairs which they have done in their cells without the aid of any tools that would be even sharp enough to- cut wood. much less steel.
 As soon as the attempt to escape became known. both men were thrown at once in dark solitary--which means ldarkness all the time and a slice of bread and a drink of water each twenty four hours and there will remain prob ably ten days. They are regarded as bad men by the prison officials.
 McGeachey was sent to the prison from worcester in January, 1893, and is serving sentence of eight years for and entering. Connerty has been ir prison five Of the twenty-three years She was sentenced to serve: for shooting a police ofiicer in .Srringfield. as tried to escape once before, but did net succeed. 5s

Chinese Naval. Discipline.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
The Chinese sailor is not lover of dis
cipline He prefers perfect freedom, espe-
cially when the question of leave is con-
cerned When Capt. Lang had charge Of
the Chinese navy he discovered this weak
ness and 1T gave him considerable
amount Of trouble. He found ordinary
methods of enforcing regularity utterly
useless Officers and men alike showed a
total Indifference to his orders where leave
of absence was concerned. Following the
example of the Emperor of Germany, he de-
termined on series of surprise visits, and
on one of these occasions he found that
many of the officers and men were on
shore without leave. Determining to en-
force discipline at any cost, he ordered all
the delinquents to be placed under arrest
when they returned. This was too much
for the easy-going Chinaman. That night
every man jumped overheard and went
home, utterly Disguised W tn the service.

Additional Hill Horses.

The Humane Society has again inter
vened on behalf of the horses of Washing
ton. This time the society has taken firm
stand In the matter Of the Metropolitan and
Belt line street railways, and has ordered
that hill horses be kept constantly at the
hill on c street between New Jersey ave-
nue. and LIST street, to help pull the heavily
loaded cars on these two lines up the
grades In this neighborhood. Agent Rab-
bftt made an investigation on Friday after
noon and found that each company had
but one hill horse, which was not sufficient
to handle every car. and communication
was sent TO each company asking it to
put on additional horses to which a favor
able response has been received

the present democratic Representative, who
is a candidate for reelection had plu-
rality two years ago of 1884, and the demo-
Gratis carried it last year by 2,S21 votes.
The eighteenth districts normally republi-
can, though Dr. Ikert, the present Repre-
sentative, is a democrat. Governor Nc
Kinley carried the district last fall by o,3Sl,
and there is no doubt now but that 1t Will
elect r. w. Taylor The republican nominee
The nineteenth district is the banner re-
publican district of the state If not OF the
United States. Congressman Northway
had two years ago, 1904 plurality and the
district gave Governor Mckinley last fall
plurality of 1888. The twentieth dis
trfct is decidedly republican, and will, no
doubt, elect Clifton r. 13each, the republic
can candidate. Tom l.. y Johnson, the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in the twenty
first district, is making desperate fight for
reelection, but has against him republic
can plurality as shown at the polls last
fall, of 5,913. Besides this, he has a strong
candidate against him. and the local demo-
cratic organ, the Cleveland Plaindealer,
lighting him. The chances are, of course,
that Theo. e. Burton, the republican, will
be elected there

Gratis will both be defeated.

E. ]. Gibson, in Lirpincotts
Under this division of labor the head of a
washington bureau finds himself largely
confined to national politics. He stands in
relation to his newspaper and national pol
itics in much the same light as does the art
critic to art, or the dramatic critic to the
drama, or the literary editor to literature.
If he is successful correspondent he keeps
himself well informed on all phases of ma
tional politics, and knows personally the
chief actors in the drama of which WASH
ington may be said to be the stage. II an
important measure is pending before Con-
gress or the executive he will be able
with reasonable accuracy to foretell its
probable fate and to explain the oftentines
seemingly ineXplicable course which GER
tain members of Congress may pursue to-
ward that measure. IL all public men
acted from DISTINGUISHED and conscientious
motives the work of the correspondent
would be greatly curtailed; but, unhappily,
such is not the case, though there has been
an improvement IN that respect In recent
years. The lobbyist Is no such familiar
figure In Washington now as formerly, and
the bills in behalf of which money or other
valuable considerations are used to facili-
tate their passage are comparatively few.
But still, personal. social and other consid-
erations besides those of the public good
often govern the action of some members
Of Congress.
