 QnS RrnadWaV NOV 20.


 sos Broadway, Nov 20. Miss Grace Olney, the young lady who attempted to commit suicide at midnight at the Weber House, was treated very he- roically at the Receiving Hospital, and with such success that she was able to be taken away by her friends this after noon.
 The unhappy girl is 23 years of age and lived with her relatives at Fruitvale. She had been Respondent for few days, but no one suspected that she was subject to suicidal ideas. She is very well con- nected and is relative of Attorney Wells Whitmore who called at the hos pital to-day and, with her mother, took her home.
 When Miss Olney recovered conscious ness she said she was simply tired of life and desired to die. She stated positively that there was no romance behind her desire to leave the world, and that the letter she left behind her contained the whole truth. In the note Miss Olney stated that the future had no bright hopes for her and she had nothing to live for.

using 1t as lever with which they could control the party In the State. These same men are now making plans for the capture of the State convention. Even their wishes. a fact made evident by the manner in which the proposition to have him made the chairman of the convention has been Shelved
 ton was brought up for discussion some days ago 1t seemed to be the general wish of the Democrats Of the State that the Governor should be. asked to preside, not only because of his position as chief exc cutive, but because of his service to. the party and his thorough knowledge of all the auarrels and petty differences that might be made causes for serious dis sensfons were the guiding of the conven- ton left to an inexperienced hand. But this did not suit the gentlemen who have assumed the role of dictators. Budd had opposed the action of these men In steal ing control of the local Democracy. and if he were chairman of the convention tials that would report favorably on seating the Harney delegates that will be sent to Sacramento. So they put on the screws and caused it to be announced that Governor Budd would probably re- fuse to accept the chairmanship. and that his mantle would fall on the shoulders of Robert Fitzgerald, one of the men who was an active participant in the local po- litical hold-up.
 The case as it stands is that no one but the self-appointed dictators of the party are to have voice in the direction of it's affairs. In order to remove tempta- ton, all of the State officers have all ready been distributed. and there Is .noth- ing left to quarrel oyer. But the worm has turned, and unless all signs fail there will be the liveliest kind of a mix-up within the next two weeks that the Democratic party has ever seen.

"Do you believe in the devel>
opment of the navy by the in>
crease of the size of the ships ?"
"No. I think~it better to pro-
vide great numbers of small war
boats, like the monitors and tor
pedo boats. No, it is not true
that they cannot be devised to
carry enough fuel. They could
be made to carry enough to take
them across the ocean. l would
favor making boats to carry one
or perhaps two heavy guns
apiece, pointing forward, the
boat being virtually the gun
carriage. 1t should be the prac-
tice to engage bow forward. If
struck along side. these boats
would of course go down. But
with sloping, sides, and long,
narrow build, a shot from the
front would glance off. Being
little, they would not be so
easily struck, they could go fas>
ter, and not so liable to be blown
up. The loss, too, would be
less. The men could work in
great protection. And the boats
could be built much more rapid
ly."
