FINAL TEST OF THE HOLLAND.

The Iavent0r and Crew of the Sinh
marine Boat Confident of Success.
GREENPORT. Long Island, Nov. 6-Ey-
erything is in readiness at New Suffolk for
the trial Of the submarine boat Holland
The Holland has been doing excellent
work. and it would seem almost impossi-
BILE that the trial should be failure. The
boat has been tried under almost all kinds
Of conditions. and those who have had the
handling Of her are confident that the
programme will be carried out to the
letter, and that anything else the naval
officers may ask as an additional test will
be performed. They say that the only
mishap they had this fail. when there was
an escape Of gas and all on board were
made unconscious, was an accident not
likely to happen again, and that 1t was as
nothing as compared with accidents to
the boilers of boats of ordinary build.
John E. Holland, the inventor of the
craft, arrived last night on a special train.
He had with him as guests Isaac l.. Rec
Capt. John Love, U. S. N; c. E. Cree y,
of Washington. and E. B. Frost. The NJ
val Board arrived this morning.
Mr.. Holland said this morning that he
believed his boat was 100 per cent better
now than year ago, and that practice had
suggested many things that had not been
foreseen in the planning. When she was
examined by the Government at the time
of the Spanish war she was Just as she
had come from the builder, without the ad-
vantages and improvements resulting from
experience. Besides this. the men hand
ling her now understood her. At first they
had some trouble in accustoming them
selves to the peculiar conditions but now
thought no more Of diving under the sur
face than Of sending the boats along on top
of the waves.

TO RESTORE A LOST SCALP.
Skin Being Transplanted on q Phila-
delphia Child.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-One Of the
most extensive cases OF skin grating in
the annals of the medical profession was
Hospital on the head Of little girl. whose
scalp was torn entirely OFF in her father s
mill. square inch Of small bits OF skin
taken from the arm of another patient was
grated on the top of her head. and. II the
operation proves successful. the father and
friends OF the girl will be asked to sacrifice
larger strips Of their own skin in order that
the head may be healed
Even with fair success, years may eiapse
before enough skin is grated to supply
the place Of the lost scalp.
Clara Hixon is the name OF the unfor-
tunate girl. and she is only ten years old
She was in her fathers grist MILL in En-
maville. near Altoona, and, her long hair
catching in a belt, her scalp was torn of
from above her eyebrows to the base of her
skull.
She was brought to the Methodist Hos
pital on Wednesday of last week, and has
nicely recovered from the shock. DIR. John
b. Roberts, chief surgeon. decided to try
skin grating. and the first application was
made yesterday by the resident surgeon,
DR.. J. R. Crawford.
Another female patient. whose skin is
perfectly healthy. expressed her willing
ness to part with a square inch, and the
grating was done. 1t is not a painful
operation for either person, but later. when
larger patches of skin are to be grated, it
is scarcely probable that anyone not di-
rectly interested in the child's recovery
will sacrifice their own bodies. The skin
at present is being taken in tiny circles.
lifted on the point OF a needle and shipped
off with a sharp knife.
Another square inch will be grated to-
day. but until two or three days have pass
ed it cannot be told whether or not the
operation is successful. The science is in
its infancy. and widely different results
are obtained under apparently Similar con-
ditions- The medical profession will watch
with interest the progress of the operation
on Clara Hixon's head. The pain of hav-
ing her head dressed daily is borne bravely
by the little girl. Her ankles were slight
ly injured in the accident but when they
are well she will be able to run about while
the tedious growth Of her new scalp is
progressing.

mash and several barrels of moonshine
whisky. These were destroyed. and the
officers. with cooked revolvers, lay in wait.
About six hours later. Pritts. his son Hen
ry. and John Way appeared. and the officers
arose from ambush. The last two surren-
dered. but the old man, who had been
chased by revenue officers before. took to
flight. jumping over powders and tearing
through the brush with deerlike agility, the
officers firing after him.
The two prisoners were landed In jail
and friends began search for the old man,
who was found In an almost impenetrable
mountain fa0Aness. where he had lain ex-
posed and bleeding nearly thirty-six hours
Pritts. who is dead shot, always carried
a trusty Winchester, but on this particular
occasion he had left it at home.

In the street Mrs. Schopp swallowed the

She was taken back into the store where

dating the title insurance companies and
operating them under one set of officers is
approved.
The promoter of the plan is ". J. New

gene Carusi, president OF the District tt
tie Insurance Company. Charles w. Han
dy. Of the District Company. is also in
terested in the movement.
The plans embrace the formation OF one
large company which will make invest
ments for persons out of town under a
guarantee Of safety, and by thus placing
loans augment the business of the tit e
company. A provisional agreement has
been signed by a number of the stockhold-
ers. 1t contemplates the selling Of $50. 900
of the stock of the Columbia Company. and
the exchange OF the District Title Com
panys stock for the stock of the Colum-
bia Agency and Trust Company on a basis
of FIVE for one. The Columbia's stock is
$40 share, which would place a value of
s4 a share upon the stock Of the District

THE ANAcosTIA RAILWAY.
An Appeal From the OpiniOn of ths
District Attorney.


|. District Attorney.
The Commissioners this morning received
a statement from J. J. Darlington. attorney
for the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. regarding the controversy over
the construction Of the Anacostia and Po-
| tomac River Railroad at the north end Of
the Navy Yard Bridge. at the foot OF
Eleventh Street southeast.
About two months ago this matter was
brought to the attention of the Commission
ers in the form of request for a permit
to construct a plow pit at the city side
of the bridge in order to facilitate the
change of power for the cars of this line
from underground to overhead trolley. A
United States statute prohibits the con-
struction in this city of overhead trolley
lines, and it would be necessary to bring
the overhead wire from the bridge to a
point about fifty feet up Eleventh Street.
The company stated in its petition that
it would be possible to construct the pit
on the bridge without materially inter-
fering with traffic. and it was not believed
that the law could be construed so as to
prohibit the arrangement of the wires as
was contemplated. The matter was sub
mitted to the Attorney for the District.
and in an opinion he maintained that the
law was positive, and that the Commits
sioners could not grant the permit re-
quested by the comapny.
This opinion was transmitted to the rail-
road company and it was thought that the
matter had been disposed of. Yesterday,
however, Commissioner Ross received a
statement from Mr.. Darlington. in which
h eappeals from the opinion OF the Attor-
ney. Mr.. Darlington states that he does
not think the law regarding overhead
wires. which admitted the granting of a
permit to string wires on the bridge.
should be construed SO as to forbid per-
mission to the company to continue the
wires far enough to construct the pit in
Eleventh Street.
He requests that the Commissioners
shall investigate the matter carefully and
give their opinion. The statement will be
laid before the board this afternoon. and
it is expected that final action will be
taken

coNFUcIUs WORSHIP ORDERED
| Chfna's DowaEer Empress DEGREES
the State Religion.

China's DOwaEer Empress Decrees
the State Religion.
TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 6.-One Of the
latest DEGREES Of the Empress Dowager
of China declares Confucianism to be the
state religion of China, and commands that
it be studied in future in all Chinese
schools and colleges. whether in Pekin OF
the provinces.
In addition all projects. district magis-
trates. and directors Of studies are COM
manded to read the sacred edicts of Con-
fucius in public for the informa-
ton and education of the masses.
The decree states that the pres
ent Manchu dynasty always has been
careful to advance the sacred doctrine of
Confucius. and that the present edict con-
forms to similar ones issued by previous
rulers.
1t is known in Pekin that this decree
was prepared by one of the conservative
ministers to offset the great impetus which
the Emperor's reform DEGREES gave to the
study of Western learning. This, in spite
Of the Emperor's dethronement, has spread
over the whole empire in a wonderful
manner. The Empress thus becomes the
champion OF the most radical reactionary
party.

BRAIN FOOD

Is of Little BENEFIT Unless 1t Is Di.
Eested.
Nearly everyone will admit that as a na-
tion We eat too much meat and too little
of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, office men, and clerks
and. in fact. everyone engaged in sedentary
or indoor occupations. grains, milk, and
vegetables are much more healthfui.
Only men engaged in a severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women, and
children. and grains, fruit, and vegetables
should constitute the bulk Of food eaten
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and 1t is of NO use
to advise brain workers to eat largely of
grains and vegetables where the digestion
is too weak to assimilate them properly,
1t is always best to get the best results
from our food that some simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
to assist the relaxed digestive organs, and
several years experience have proven
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a yer,
safe, pleasant, and effective digestive and
a remedy which may be taken daily with
the best results.

People who make q daily practice of TAX
ing one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab.

There is no danger of forming an in

Comptroller Of the Currency Dawes Is
He expects to have It completed the latter
part Of the month. and one Of the most in
teresting features Of the report will be the
Comptroller's commedH on foreign and
colonial branch banking. He will renew
on this subject his recommendation Of q
year ago. The present banking laws do
not meet the new conditions. and the
Comptroller will say in his report that II
the present banking laws were, unchanged.
extended to Porto Rico. Cuba. Hawaii, and
the Philippines, they would not authorized
the establishment Of American interna-
t.onal or American -intercolonial banks nor
could any national bank establish branch
in territory or colony.
The Comptroller. will again call atten-
ton to the lameutable. lack OF proper in
ternational banking facilities, under which
American merchants have so long labored.
He Will say II has become q serious him
drance to the speedy adjustment OF our
trade relations to the new advantages af-
forded by territorial expansion.
In his last annual report the Comptroller
said on the subject:
For years before the outbreak OF the
war with Spain the necessity OF providing
PaSPSA Dohhih6 AoSiAtico iOi Jul uouc WIN
South American countries had been recog
nized and widely proclaimed by the busi-
ness interests Of the country. These facili-
ties are now not only more important than
formerly to our business interests, but at
present governmental as well as trade ne
cessities, demand legislation"
The question Of better banking facilities
between the American republics has been
discussed for nearly ten years. and on
more than one occasion several bills have
been formally reported from the House
Committee on Banking and Currency. but
they were never enacted into law.
The Comptroller will say in his report
that the commercial banks In Hawaii have
largely adopted American methods, and
the customs Of general business are now
American to such an extent that the present
national banking act might well be ex-
tended over the island. SO far as its do
mestic banking Is concerned.
There is hardly any doubt but that Con-
gress will seriously consider these recon-
mendations of the Comptroller. There is
certain to be come legislation on this sub
ject for there Is now pending before the
Comptroller numerous applications of
American citizens TO organize national
banks in Hawaii. Cuba, Porto Rico. and the
Philippines. But until Congress acts the
Comptroller is powerless to grant the nee
essary authority to organize a national
bank in the colonies.

Secretary Root May Adopt the Wea-
pom for the Army.
The new 6-inch rifle tested at Indian
Head Saturday will probably be accepted
by the Government. Secretary Root today
said he was much pleased with the weapon.
The gun is 45 calibres and has Wick
ers breech mechanism. All the other g.
ing guns of the navy are so calibres.
The test yesterday was for velocItles and
was intended for comparison with the re-
cent test of Vickers 6-inch gun. The
special grain Of powder required was not
used in the test, but without it the maxi
mum velocity obtained was 1851 feet a
second, with 1873 tons pressure.
In the test of the Vickers gun American
smokeless powder and cordite were used.
With smokeless powder a maximum ve-
locity of 1913 feet a second with II tons
pressure was obtained. With cordite the
maximum velocity was 2,S56 feet a second
with 10 tons pressure. Admiral Charles
O'Neil, Chief of the Naval Bureau of Ord
nance, who witnessed Saturdays test,
thinks that the new gun will give 5000 feet
velocity second at least. The main differ
ence in the special or American gun and
the yickers gun is that the American has
larger chamber.

a motion to dissolve the injunction issued
against the general officers OF the order
Of Knights Of Labor, enjoining them from
carrying into effect their resolve to re-
woke the charter of District Assembly No.

The petition was fled by A. M. Lawson
and others, officers of the latter body In
August and some time later, In December.
the national body of knights Of Labor in
annual convention endorsed the acton Of
the general officers in revoking the char
ter of District Assembly No. 66. Since
then, however, the latter body. by means
of the restraining order issued by the Su-
preme Court of the District, has main
tained It's affliation with the national order.
