All the physicians and nurses in Belle

convince Joseph Jurcevitz that he is
not dead by his own hand. He AIMED
four shots, and he knows exactly
where they struck. A broken plate
glass mirror at 622 East Twelfth street,
where he lives, proves this. Jurcev'tz

convinced that each wound was fatal.
incidentally, he shot stove that he be-

There is singular difference be-
tween the United States and the lead
ing countries of Europe in the popular
use of gold as money. In Great Britain
the gold coinage consists almost en-
tirely Of soyereigns and half sover-
eigns; in France Of 20 and ten franc
pieces, and in Germany of ten-mark
pieces. All these coins are worth less
than five dollars and are in general cir
culation, In this country two-thirds
of the gold handled at the mints Is
coined into $50 pieces. The value Of
the quarter eagles coined in 1898 was
only $C0,4l In a sanitary sense the

ADMIRALS OF NAVY.
Congress Observation-Disclosures the
Appointment of Two.
Arouses Considerable Gossip in Navy
Department.. EspecinlIy Among
Friends Of Rear Adniri,ia
Sampson and schley.

Unwittingly congress, just before its
adjournment, gave President Mckinley
authority to appoint two admirals of
the navy instead of limiting the grade
to one, as il undoubtedly intended.
The discovery has just been brought
to the attention of officials of the navy
department and has aroused consider
able gossip, especially among the
friends of Rear Admrals Sampson and
Schley.
President Mckinley approved, on
March 2, ''an act creating the Office of
admiral of the navy" providing that
the president is hereby authorized to
appoint by selection and promotion an
admiral of the navy who shall not be
placed upon the retired list, except
upon his own application; and when
ever such Office shall be vacated, by
death or otherwise, the Office shall cease
to exist"
a certified copy of the act was pre-
sented to Secretary Long by the state
department, and the former Immediate
ly made out the nomination of George
Dewey to be admiral The nomination
was confirmed by the senate on March 2.
notwithstanding that the president
had appointed an officer to be ian ad-
miral of the navy" as provided for in
the act, congress passed the navy ap-
preparation bill which was approved
late on the Legislative day of March 8,
containing n provision identical in Ian
guage with the act under which Ad-
mirai Dewey had been appointed and
confirmed
1t has been pointed out that the pro-
vision, like the act, provided for the ap-
pointment of an officer to be an admiral
"by selection and promotion" Had the
act simply read in both cases "by pro-
notion" Admiral Dewey being the
ranking officer would have been APP
pointed, and then Rear Admiral i. v.
McNair might be considered eligible for
appointment as "an admiral" but as it
specifically stated "by selection and
promotion. it is apparent that the pres
idant, If he thinks he has sufficient nu-
thority to do So, may select any officer
he may see fit. aud as he has expressed
himself only recently in terms of high
appreciation Of Rear Admiral Samp-
sons conduct, friends of the command
cr of the North Atlantic squadron are
confident that if anyone is appointed he
will be the man.

BURNED BY RoENTGEN RAYS.
PnrIs PhS'sicinn's Patient Asks 5000
Frames Damages for In
iurics Received.

Some time ago a Paris doctor, who
was treating Nine. Mochcrt a Young
woman. for an affection of the thigh
joint, attempted TO photograph the seat
of the trouble with the Roeutgen rays.
Nine. Mochcrt posed three times. The
third exposure lasted over an hour. and
it was subsequently noticed that the
skin was apparently burned. This
burn resulted in n wound that caused
long illness. Nine. MocherU sued the
doctor for 5000 francs damage. One
of the witnesses, DIR. Bardet, secretary
of the Societe Therapeutique, testified
that burning would result in rare in
stances from the use of the Roentgen
rays. Everything depended on the pa
tents physical condition, lie main
tanned that if ;he doctors were made
responsible for such accidents they
would be obliged to renounce the use of
the rays.

WAVE POWER PLANT.


A contract has been signed for $780,

to be developed from the waves of the
ocean, the first of the kind ever made.
This power is for million-dollar sani-
tarium to be built at Seagatc, adjoining
Coney Island.
This power is to be converted into
electricity, which win do all the work,
heating, lighting, operating carriages
and steamboats,. Even the cooking will

The contract shows that machinery
has at last been designed which can bot
lie up the energy of the sea and make
it work, This device takes no account
Of the rise and fall of tides, but il does
make use of the wave motion.
The principle is like that of a toy pop
gun. The cylin1er is placed vertically.
The piston is made TO rise and fall by
the waves. 1t is really nothing more
than buoy. When wave comes along
it is bound to rise, and when the wave
passes it falls. Every time it rises it
congresses so much air.

When your heart is gettin' heavy an your

When some happier fellow bein' stops to

It's like a dash O. rain across the field that's

ONLY LUzON DEMANDED.
Correspondence Bearing on Peace
Treaty Sent to the Senate
IN RESPONSE TO THE H0AR RESOLUTION.
Reasons Why Cession of the Entire Archi.
pelago Was Demanded-Entire Con-
troversy Was Practically Over
the Philippine Islands.

WAsHINGToN.-T president Mon.
day sent to the senate the correspond
ence on file in the state department
bearing upon the peace treaty, and it
was read in executive session. The
correspondence was sent in response
to the resolution introduced by Sen
ator Hoar, and includes most of the
letters and cablegrams from the COM
missioners to the president and from
the president to the commissioners in
the way of instructions in return. The
documents are numerous, and there
are kilograms, letters and reports for
almost every day the commissioners
were in Paris.
One of the first cables from the
president instructed them to demand
the cession of Luzon island only of
the Philippines, and he told them that
full sovereignty should come with it.
The reading of the correspondence re-
ceived the closest attention from the
senator's.
In submitting the papers the presi-
dent sent brief message, saying he
transmitted them in accordance with
the resolution. The reading consumed
the entire executive session, lasting
from to $50.
Much of the matter covered the
same ground as that already published.
The principal interest among the SEN
ators attached to the presidents in
structions to insist upon the cession
of the island of Luzon, and after that
in the decision to take the entire group
of islands. This latter development
appeared from the correspondence to
be a growth and the suggestion as
made by the commissioners to the
president as the result of the occur
rences at Paris after the arrival there
of the commissioners. In his despatch
concerning Luzon he said there was
but one alternative. The United
States must either take the island and
assume sovereignty or return 1t to
Spain, and of the two courses he pre-
ferred the former.
Spain was from the first unwilling
to cede any of the Philippines, and
she made special objection to letting
go of Luzon alone.
The entire controversy was practi-
cally over the Philippines and the
question of assuming responsibility for
the payment of the Spanish bonds for
which the Cuban revenues were pledg-
ed. The Spaniards from the first in
sisted upon an indemnity for the Phil
ippines and the correspondence shows
that after the proposition to pay $780,
900, 900 was made the negotiations pro-
ceeded much more smoothly and were
soon brought to close.

England has in the Mediterranean
thirty nine warships, of which ten are
ironclads of the first class; on the
coast of the Atlantic she has thirteen,
of which nine are first-class ironclads.
In her own waters she can muster
twenty-five war vessels, ten being
ironclads; and in her dockyards she
has another $50 fighting vessels of
various types. Besides all these she
has in American waters thirteen war
ships; in the East Indies, nine; in
West African ports, sixteen; in China,
twenty eight; in the Pacific, other
seven, and in Australia, two. 1t will
be seen that this constitutes a naval
