Special 20 the Register.
Washington, ID. c.. January 30.-It
is the talk here that Judge COTS refu-
sal to enter McKinleys cabinet means
that he has definitely decided TO resign
from the bench within the next year.
and make an extensive effort to capture
in 1899 the seat in the United States
Senate. now filled by Senator Faulk-
ner. at the same time resuming his old
place as leader Of the Republican party
in West Virginia and il he succeeds in
this. boldly pushing 20 the front as an
avowed candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomi nation in 1900.
II he were a member Of McKinley's
cabinet he would be handicapped in his
contest for the Senatorship while he
could not honorably make any effort
TO secure the Presidential nomination
as Mckinley will himself undoubtedly
be candidate for second term.
BY refusing a cabneJ portfolio and
resigning his place on the bench Judge
Goff will be altogether foot-loose and
can make a campaign for the Senator
ship which will attract national atten-
ton to him and put him in fine shape to
contest for the still higher honOrs he
is understood to aspire to.
That is if he succeeds in winning the
Senatorship.
But Senator Faulkner and the West
Virginia DemocI acy will see TO It that
he doesn't succe ed, even If Senator FL

The Lonesome.

In the lOftiest tower in the city of
Vienna there is a novel instrument,
known as the toposcope, constantly at
tended day and night, for the purpose Of
locating fires. 1t consists of good tele-
scope, which is solidly attached to an
arrangement of levers, while graduated
sections of a circle are arranged horizon
tally and vertically in such way that,
the moving of the telescope sideways or
up or down results in a change of posi-
ton Of the hands attached to the levers
in reference to the graduated scales.
Thus, the stability of the apparatus be-
ing assured by the firmness of the fas-
tening, whenever the telescope is focus
ed upon the same object the hands will
point to the same figures on the hori-
Zontal and on the vertical sextant, and
since an index Of the whole city has
been made it is but a matter of few
seconds, when glare is discovered at
night, to direct upon the spot the topo-
scope on the side, to read off the num-
bers, to look up the object and to tele-
graph to the central station the details
observed. Local conditions are, Of
course, necessary for the successful oper-
alton of such an apparatus but in this
case they are said to be almost perfect
The tower is over 500 feet high, and an
uninterrupted view of the great area Of
the city is thus possible to the watch
man if the atmospheric conditions are
favorable
