Effect of the Action of the MICHIGAN

Secretary Hoke Smith is quoted as saying
that he regards the result in Michigan as
the salvation of the democratic party, in

presses qualification at the result. Mr.
Ihurber Is more than delighted. He re-

by the President. One dispatch stated that
the unit rule was adopted, SO that the solid

from Don NJ. Dickinson at Detroit saving

Weadock, one of the delegates to Chica go

dock IS as sound on the financial question AS
secretary Carlisle himself, to whom Michi-
gan sends greetings. Mr.. Dickinson adds:

Next Sunday morning Bishop Satterlee will

ST. Adams is still without rector
though it is likely that one will soon be
named. A committee of vestrymen waited
en- Bishop Satteree shortly before his or
dination and upon his advice deferred the
selection of rector. 1t is now rumorsd
that the bishop himself is to take charge
of the church and appoint an assistant. 1t
is also stated that OH account of its close
proximity TO the proposed Episcopal cathe-
dral ST. Adams is to be made cathedral
annex and come directly under the charge
OF the cathedral officials.

EARL GREY AT BULUWAYO.
Acute Dissertations Prevail Among the
Mntnbelcs.

BULUWAYO, Matabeleland. April 30
Earl Grey, co-administrator, with Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes, of the territory Of the British Char
tered South Africa Company. has arrived
here with a strong escort. The recent ac-
tions with the insurgent Matabeles have
resulted in inflicting such severe losses up
on them that Buluwayo is looked upon as
being practically relieved, and it is no longer
likely that the natives will attack the town
in force although they still number over
1JO;0 armed men in this vicinity.
A Matabele deserter, who reached here
yesterday stated that acute dssension pre-
walls among the Matabeles, and that the
rest of the tribe threatens to wipe out the
Sekuti, ImbeZu and Irgobo regiments. In
addition, the Imbezus are threatening their
god, "for not having fulfilled his promise
TO turn the bullets of the whites into wa

WHAT RACING MEN SAY.
Their View of the Decision on the
Maupin LAW.

The decision by the Virginia court of ap-
peals yesterday on the validity of the Maui
pin bill was the principal topic at the Ben
ming track. The general impression OF
the racing people is that only pool selling
is prohibited by the bill, as construed by
the court, and that bookmaking can be
continued.
President Jones of tn. Alexandria Island
track stated that he had not yet heard
from his attorneys in the matter, and doc S
not therefore know the true effect of the
decision. although it appeared from the
Geographic report of the decision that
only pool selling is prohibited. He knew
no more than did the rest of the world
If only pool selling is prohibited the V1r-
g-n.a tracks would really have no COM
plant to make.

GETTING A NAVY 'uasArLY.
Cash and Certain AIonopoliHs OTered by

Cash end Certain MOucpolins OTered by
Portugal 20 SiIpbuilders.
Of all strange proposals made lately
to the builders Of ships the strangest is
that Of Portugal, which desires to have
a modern navy, but desires to get it on
the lowest possible terIns. says the St.
Louis Globo-Democrat The govern
ment intends 70 ask shipbuilders how
many vessels Of a stated type they win
supply annually for tw cntv years or
less Tor an annual payment Of about
five hundred and hfty-fve thousand
dollars, plus certain advantages in the
way Of monopolies. American. Brit
lsh, French and German builders of
the first class are to be asked to bid,
and the successful tenderer viii be
that firm giving the most in the least
time and for the shortest period of
monopoly. First, a yard is to be built
at Lisbon and the government ship
building plant closed. The new firm
win get the machinery and also the
staff and operatives. Nothing is said
about foreign worlzmen, but, since the
government hopes to educate the peo-
pie in shipbuilding, it expects native
labor 30 be employed. Machinery, ma
terial and fuel will be admitted to the
establishment free of duty
The new plant will have monopoly
of repairing work, not only in Portugal,
but also in her colonies, Azores, Cape
de Verde and Angola, no other new
establishments being permitted, al
though existing small works will con-
tinue. The new vessels which it is
hoped to get for the annual payment of
five hundred and fifty-fve thousand
dollars are all of rather unusual con-
struction- The cruisers are to be of
wood and copper sheathed, of forty-two
hundred tons displacement, twenty
three knots speed, with protective
deck and steaming radius of ten thou
sand miles at ten knots. The now
famous japanese cruiser Yoshino is re-
garded as pattern of the desired type.
Then there are to be ten torpedo boat
destroyers of the type Of the speedy
IIavoclS, which are to be able to make
twenty-eight knots, and steam four
thousand miles at ten lznots;. ten first
class torpedo beats of seventy tons and
Of the greatest speed possible; several
colonial gunboats of two hundred and
eighty-nine tons and river gunboats of
forty tons. This seems pretty good
navy for about eleven million two hum
dred thousand dollars, but perhaps
some of the companies will find that
the twenty-year use of a well-located
shipyard with modern tools is an in.
ducement worth considering,

AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN.
She Belongs to an Old Family and the

She Belongs to an Old Family and the
"Smart Set" Doesn't Trouble Her.
Perhaps, from social point of view,
one of the most comfortably self-satis-
fed persons in the world is the New
York woman of moderately independ-
ent means, who, secure in long line
of unimpeachable Knickerbocl1er an
cestors, is completely satisfied with her
position and who will never know or
for one instant imagine that she is irrev-
erently called one of the "frumps" by
the 'smart set" says the New York

The members of this smart set well
come new people without hesitation,
always providing that the newcomers
are rich, up-to-date, and have the neces-
sary tact and savoir taire to adopt the
shibboleths of the SCI. The genuine
old New Yorker is, however, very con-
servative, and the opinions of the afore-
said set trouble her but little, for her
position, she feels, is founded on a rock,
and though storms may beat and waves
break against the structure, it is, she
believes, as secure as anything can be
IN this mortal life. She is also apt to
be very independent, and if her income
is small has no fear Of public opinion
in carrying out her economics. She will
take a"'bus" or car Tor dinner or ball
with as great a sense Of dignity as if
she were stepping into her carriage at
