week upon the solicitation of Mr.. Mckinley,
who has been very anxious to have the
Junior Senator's good will. Senator Quay
proposes, he says to have his name presented
to the st. Louis convention just the same.
Mckinley is very desrous of making an
alliance with Mr., Quay, and will be sure to
make liberal terms, Tom Cooper Of the
Media American, sizes up the situation
thusly: Senator Quay will, of course, lie
acknowledged as the leader of. his party in
Pennsylvania under the Mckinley Admins

patronage and he may be a member of Nc
Kinley's cabinet. But the main fact is that

between q ship In distress and shore
IS a cigar-shaped electric boat The
great difficulty which life savers have
had 10 contend with has been that OF
getting a line from the shore to the

mortar. and when this falls the ilfe

render them any aid. Il Il 10 over

shaped Whitehead torpedo. II Is point
