hydro-carbon motor, Is an American
and a resident of Cleveland. Charron,
the Frenchman, is a wealthy sporting
man who has the automobile fad. In
Paris he is regarded in Chauffeur cir
cles as easily the champion. He made
a journey from Paris to Bordeaux and
back. a distance of about one thousand
miles, at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. That beats anything ever done
on this side of the ocean, but the
French roads are infinitely better than
the American. Winton and Shanks
made their famous trip from Cleveland
to New York at the rate of only fifteen
miles an hour. but most of the travelling
was over a highway that in France
would not be dignified with the name
of road at all, but would be classed as
omen country.

or to Rescue Andree.

Professor A. G. Nathorst, the Swedish
explorer and man of science, who is
now on his way to the North to find
the explorer Andree or the relics Of
his balloon expedition, occupies a dis
tinguished place in European geograph-
zeal circles. He is a member of the
Swedish Royal Academy and one of the
leading geographical societies of the
world.
In every respect the professor is well
equipped for the difficult and hazard
Gus work he has in hand. As an arctic
explorer he has had much experience.
In 1870 and again in 1882 he explored
Spitzbergen. In 1888 he made voyage
to Greenland, and he was a member of
the famous Vega expedition around
Asia.
The Antarctic, Professor Nathorst's
ship, will sail to the region between Is
and rs degrees north latitude, near
Cape Bismarck, on the east coast of
Greenland, and Will follow that coast
toward the south, in the hope of find
ing some trace of the intrepid Andree.
Professor Nathorst, in an interview
given just before he left Gothenburg,
said that Andree and his companions
are now in Greenland. He believes they
landed on the northeastern coast and
are working their way slowly by the
eastern route toward the south. Seye-
raj years would be required, said the
professor, for Andree's men to reach
the coast. so vast is the land. Fred
erick Hammer of Chrstiana, a rich
Norwegian merchant, is paying the ex-
penses of the Nathorst rescue Axpedi-
ton.

A Bogus Count in Politics,

From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The rufflanly assault upon President
Loubet followed by a royalist riot is in
teresting to Americans because of the
part displayed in it by Count Boni Cas-
tellane. This absurd person, whose title
is bogus, and who has never been any
thing but a hanger-on among the an
Gent families of France. emerged from
ohscurity when he married an Ameri-
can girl and started in to spend her
money. He has been the hero of a num-
Der of f1ashy adventures since that
event and in some mysterious fashion
got into the chamber Of deputies. where
he is as much of a .'misf1t' as a race
track tout would be in the American
senate. Nowhere but in France would
such man be taken seriously.

The Horseless Carriage Race.

s1r HE proposed race between the
automobiles represented by Mr..
Winton of Cleveland and M.
Charron of Paris has given rise to a
discussion between the two so spirited
that at times it bordered on the acrim-
onious. At latest accounts, however,
the differences have been adjusted and
the race will take place in this country
some time in August. Whether Mr.
Winton or M. Charron wins the race is
immaterial-the result will be the ulti-
mate superiority of, the American ma
chine. The worlds interest will have
been awakened and the desire to excel
will have been aroused in American
manufacturers. The spirit of rivalry
will receive an impetus, Yankee ingen-
uity will be appealed to and eventually
America will lead in horseIess carriages
as she leads in all manufacture.
While the arrangements for the race

sentative of Mr.. Winton made this

100 miles more than was suggested, but
we don't mind the extra distance If the
Frenchman doesn't. The Winton auto
mobile has a hydro-carbon or gasoline
motor. 1t weighs 1900 pounds and is of
six and one-half horse power. 1t will
run about thirty-five miles on a gallon
of fuel that costs six cents. On the re-
cent run from Cleveland to this city we
burned 20l& gallons of gasoline and used
only five gallons of water on the entire
trip for cylinder cooling purposes. The
automobiles of both countries to be
used in the race are constructed on the

The Transvaal Dispute.

From the San Francisco Bulletin
The real trouble in the Transvaal lies
in the fact that the British residents
want all the privileges of citizens with
out renouncing their allegiance to the
British government. They want to make
Boer citizenship a means of bringing
the republic under the British crown.
The grim old Boer president sees
through their purpose and persists in
denying them the privilege of citizen
ship. OF course in the end the Boer
country will become a British colony.
There is no public opinion in England
that would restrain the government
from an invasion of the Transvaal.

TRACING BY FINGER PRINTS.
System in India by Which Identification
Is Made Certain.

From the London Globe.
In detective novels finger prints left
by criminals, preferably in blood, play
an important part, but truth seems
stranger than fiction in the fact that
the finger print system of identifying
criminals in India has been made so
perfect that it would enable any intel
ligent person in a few minutes to dis
tingush the individual, if necessary,
from all other persons now living in
the world. or, if data were available,
from all the other persons who have
lived since the creation of man. The
system is simplicity itself, and there
is none of the ella boration or process
or the costly and delicate machinery
required for the anthropometric sys-
tenn. All that is needed Is piece of
tin, a sheet of paper and some prin-
er's ink. The linked impressions of he
10 digits are taken and filed in the
proper pigeonhole. and it is on the
classification of records and their dis
tribution into the pigeonholes that the
success of the system depends.
Every finger mark shows lines of
the loop" or the "whorl'' type, and
by a simple table Of the combinations
of these types in the 10 digits 1924 main
classes are made. These are again
subdivided according to minor details,
and the subdivisions can be further
divided ad infinitum if necessary, but
with the table before him any person
of ordinary intelligence can place his
finger on the corresponding card to a
record in his hand within five minutes,
no matter how many thousand cards
there may be. 1t is calculated that
the chances are about 64,G00,G00 to l
against any two persons having single
fingers identical, and the chances
against all 10 fingers being Identical
go beyond mathematics altogether.

again illustrated yesterday
when they made up for the in

by giving him an ovation all along the

and as long as they get it they don't
care particularly whether they are ours

Kitchener's vandalism.

"a RILL1ANT as was his manage

Lord Kitchener's vandalism has
stained his name forever. Public sem
timent will endorse Mr. Morley's atti-
tude toward Kitchener. The maltreat-
ment of the Mahdi's remains was bad
enough, but the destruction of the
Mahdis tomb if possible was worse.
The tomb was deliberately made the
target for the artillery practice of an
army. The firing must have been or
dered by Kitchener himself. 1t was a
perfectly safe thing for him to do. The
Dervishes We're armed, for the most
part, with old f1intlocks, and they had
not a piece of artillery among them.
This tomb had been erected at great
expense by the Deryishes, and was in

for their dead leader, whose remains
were placed inside of it. Kitchener's
batteries pretty we'll demolished it at
long range; but after the battle of
Omdurman he had the remains blown
up, and then followed the cutting off of

~HE Washington Post gives what
appears to be an authoritative
statement of the condition Of
Senator Hanna's health and the rea-
sons why he will decline to be the
chairman of the national republican
commit next year. AS is already

will remain there in the hope that the
baths will rid him of the rheumatism
which has taken a desperate hold upon
him. The disease particularly affects
knees are proving especially trouble
some. In addition to the condition of
his health, Mr.. Hanna says he finds
that the time which he is compelled
to devote to political matters is MAX

journment of congress, Ito gain some re-
spite, but the Ohio campaign forced
itself upon him. and he was obliged to
neglect important affairs. He realizes
that when he returns from Europe the
Ohio campaign will again demand his
attention, and will be followed by a

That President Mckinley shamefully

by his record. To his honor be it said
