London, Sept. 16.-The British admir-
atty is experiencing the same difficulty
as was encountered by the United
States navy department last year in
finding good machinists for ships at
smaller salaries than are paid by the
merchant marine The British navy
lacks 800 mem of the number of these
artificers required to man vessels. To
remedy this serious defect it is pro-
posed to- divide the country into five
marine engineering recruiting districts,
each with an admiralty agent, with a
civilian engineer in touch with the
shipping centers, and maintain sub
tantial salary and so much for each
recruit. The system has just COM
| menced at Liverpool and Sunderland,
with signs of success.
The secretary of war, the Marquis
OF Lansdown, has issued a circular to
the general officers, saying he has no.
ticed that a predominant fashion ex-
lists among young officers to shave the
upper lip, and adding that this is much
to be regretted. The result is that many
unfertile lips are being coerced. The
regulation against shaving the upper
lip has been little observed of recent
years, and it's revival is unpopular.

THROWS BOUQUETS At ENGLAND
HANNA BUBBLING OVER WITH
PRAISE FOR THAT COUNTRY.
Says Its Political System Is Fully
As Good AS ours-Confdent of a
Republican Victory.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator NJ. A.
Hanna arrived here today on the St
Louis from Southampton. He said to a
reporter that his health had improved
somewhat while he was abroad, and
that he had had good time.
MY observations of England said
Mr.. Hanna, ARE that it is a country
with a good political system. 1t is fully
as good as ours, and England has built
up a government full of stability l
was delighted with the outdoor life in
England.
Il suppose the English all have their
opinion as to our Philippine policy, but
l did not discuss the matter with any
one. OF course, believe that President
Mckinley will be renominated, but then
I have given my opinion on that maj
ter so often that it has now become
rather a chestnut. AS to Governor
Roosevelt for vice president, 1 certain
ly will not discuss that possibility.
81 think that industrial conditions
and the Philippine war will prove fac
tors in the coming campaign. The Phil
ippine war will be made an issue by the
Democratic party, but We have moth
ing to fear l would as soon have So
called anti-expansion made an issue as
l would the silver question, for silver
is an old man of the sea. I am not
afraid of the outcome. I have reasoned
out that the sound Judgment of the
people is that they do not want to bring
about a change. They will not, / be-
lieve. by their own act, change the con-
ditions of the country.
1.-THE United States has entered on an
era of prosperity. The promises of the
Republican party have been kept. The
commercial conditions of the country
are sound. and this prosperity is based
on confidence. 1 am confident of Re
publican victory.
Il am of the belief that there will be
some difficulty in making the trusts a
political issue. The Republican party
is just as much opposed to the amass-
ing of wealth in a manner to injure the
public as is the Democratic"
Mr.. Hanna would not discuss Ohio
politics, but when McLean's name for
governor was mentioned he said:
That's good
In regard to the Dreyfus trial the
senator said:
Il heard no expressions of opinions as
to the Dreyfus trial while abroad. ex-
cept those made by Americans Every
American whom l met on the other side
is heartily in sympathy with Dreyfus
but at the same time it appeared to me
there was no disposition ON the part of
the Americans to protest or interfere
in the matter. All this talk of boycott
ting the Paris exposition or the presi-
dent interfering is all nonsense. This
affair is enc which concerns the French
nation, and is purely their business. We
have no right to interfere"

loss of $500, goo. 1t started in the North

it spread to the Masonic temple. Metho-

also burned.
The North building. a three-story
brick, was occupied by Jacob North,

building and stock will, amount to

across the alley was a three-story
brick with a high tower. Besides the
Mason lodges, which lose everything,
the building contained the city public
library of 10000 volumes; the Woodruff
Printing company and the Evening
Post, the losses being practically total
and amounting to s150OOO.

the most beautiful in the city, was

From the very first the firemen SEEM

check the flames and save any of the
property in the block. For a time it
appeared as though Herpotsheimer'

hard work it was finally saved.

When the loss was made known Sum-
mers, who was known to be in the city,
was summoned to aid in tracing the
thief. In short while express Off
Gals and other detectives arrived on
the scene and began an investigation
In less than forty-eight hours Summers
had been arrested and confessed that
he and Murray had committed the
theft.
Murray was arrested just as he was
leaving an Illinois Central train at Chi
cago on the third day after the rob-
berry and s4,100 of the money was re-
covered from his person. Both Sum-
mers and Murray pleaded guilty and
were sentenced to five years each in the
Mississippi state prison.
Summers had not been in prison over
ninety days when he effected his es-
cape. This was in April, 1898. In the
spring of 1894 Summers was arrested in
San Francisco and held to await the
arrival of officers from Mississippi, who
again imprisoned him.
A few months thereafter Summers
escaped again, this time bribing the
guard, whom he took with him His
second escape occurred in August, 1894
After travelling around he finally went
to the Klondike, but on learning that
detectives were on his trail he disposed
of his interests in Dawson City and re-
turned to the United States. He ar
