The crowned heads of Europe despite
their onerous responsibilities. and the fun
occupation of their time, are able TO wor-
ship az the altar OF some particular kind
of hobby which would prove of immense
value to them in time Of need
King Umbertos consort collects old
shoes. Included in the stock of this sec
ond-hand boot shop are a pair of shoes
originally worn by Joan of Arc. and an
other pair that belonged TO Marie Antoi-
nette. The Queen of Italy makes the cul-
tivation of flowers a second hobby Every
morning she goes out into the garden and
picks the flowers that sedorn the break
/ fast table, and is otherwise skilled enough
10 start as a florist
If the King Of Italy can be said to have
hobby, it is his intense dislike for music.
The German Emperor Is man Of many
hobbies, but what he likes best is to de
scsnd into the Imperial kitchen to make
his own coffee. He is fond OF that bever-
age, but it seems impossible for the COOKS
to brew il to his satisfaction. Apart from
his high Office as Emperor. he rejoices in
the fact, therefore, that he can make a
cup of coffee with any Partisan restaura-
teur. We know him also es a soldier, a
sailor, an artist, poet. his own theatrical
manager. and a composer. He is also an
autograph collector, and has two Of Ma
poleon's letters. IL his majesty were OBJ
liged to earn his own living he would
make first-class journalist. He might be
able to wire his own news.
The Gar of Russia boxes. He is a ZAP

AT the Kremlin, Moscow, and also at the
Winter Palace, he has room specially
fitted up. where he exercises. He usually
dons the light, airy costume as worn by
gymnasts in this country. aud boxes a

President Faure of France is an ANA

jOurneyman. He can make lock. going
through all the stages of manufacture. The
President has converted a room at the
Elysee into model engineers shop. where
the clockmaking industry is carried on.
That particular trade is not overcrowded,
and in the event of universal revolution
President Faure would doubtless found a
concern.

McGiffen. quoted at the head OF this ar

picture OF the battle which now followed
He writes: I'VE were battered with a

in the battle: and this was owing largely
20 the presence and discipline OF the for

For some time the two fleets had been

unfortunate results 10 the Chinese How
ever. just at present, this battle of Yalu
has a deeper significance TO Americans
than the determining of the naval su-
premacy of the japanese over the Chi
nese. IL is the only conflict that has been
waged between battleships supplied with
modern ornaments; and. consequently, a.
fords the best means of judging what
modern naval battle would be like, or of
aseertaining the working value OF the
present weapons of naval warfare.
On the afternoon OF Sept Is, 1894, the
feet of Chinese warships sent to protect
the transports loaded with troops for
Corea, arrived at the mouth of the YaIu
river. The transports were al once ordered
inside and the disembarking of the troops
began. About 10 o'clOck the next morning.
Sept. II, The lookouts on board the Chinese
men-of-war sighted a feet to the seward.
Was il the enemy? The feet approached
rapidly; and soon the cry, The japanese
are coming was heard. Then all was ex

TIE Chinese feet consisted of FIVE ar
mored vessels, seven unarmored ships two
gunboats and two torpedo boats. In the
rapidly approaching Japanese squadron
were twelve ships, two armored and ten
unarmored, with Admiral Ito In command.
The heaviest ordnance carried was of
Pinch caliber; and of these the Chinese
had eight guns and the japanese four. But
China's superiority in heavy guns was
more than made UP by the greater num-
Der OF rap5d-fire guns possessed by the
japanese. The japanese had tweuty-eight
6-inch and sixty 47-inch qulck-fire guns
while the Chinese ships were armed with
only fourteen s-tnch and and fifteen AZ

fleets were sufficiently evenly matched for

THE INDIANA sENATORsHIP.
Mr. Heath Says He Has Done Nothin.
in His Own BehnIf

When the attention of First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry Heath was TODAY
called by a Star reporter to the connection
OF his name with the contest for the United
States senatorship In Indiana, mention of
which was made in The Star yesterday
and today, he stated that he was grateful
to his friends for their unsolicited assur
anoes and the complimentary mention made
of him; that he had received since mis- re-
turn here last week many letters and 1ele.
grams from the stat. inquIring whether
he was or would be a candidate, and len
der1ng him support, but that he had neither
said not done anything to indicate that he
was candidate. Mr. Heath is known 70
almost every person in Washington and
mas many friends here, especially in news
paper and official life, but none OF those
who have approached him upon the sub
1ect have secured any intimatIon as to what
ne intended to do respecting the senatorial
race. 1t is but Just to him to say that he
is in nowise responsible for the newspaper
mention of him in connection with the san
atorship, for he has, whenever approached
by his friends in Newspaper Row, requested
that his name be not mentioned with the
position. Mr.. Heath is at work upon his
annual report which is overdue a fortnight
awaiting detailed statement of the opsra-
tions of certain military postal stations in
the Philippines and the rural free delivery.
In which he is greatly interested.

SHIPBUILDER HERE.
Many Matters Requiring Attention
on Their Part.

Nearly all the great shipbuilding firms
are represented by their principals in
Washington at present. There are several
matters that require attention on their part.
Such. for instance is the recent award of
contracts for battle ships AS two of the
contracting firms have agreed to make
.heir own designs conform to those of the
third successful bidder, good deal of CO.
operation between them is necessary in
order to prevent delay in the work. They
are also here to give answer to the depart
ment's proposition TO modify the designs
for the monitors recently contracted for.
Considerable difference in opinion exists
among the members of the board of naval
bureau chiefs as to the possibility of en-
larging the monitors on the lines proposed
in the modified plans within the limit of
cost fixed by the appropriation bill, and
there are evidences that the shiDbuilders
themselves are not agreeing on this point.
II will depend upon the expert opinions
rendered by the shDbuilders whether or
Tot the department will seek 10 carry out
its plans relative TO the modified monitors,
or go to Congress for an extension of the
cost limit.
