WHAT HAPPENED TO ALExANDER7

Caldwell $40; Alexander 2l4;
Wilson 79.'-Result of balloting for
Lieutenant Governor.
The defeat of Senator Alexander
for the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, by plurality of more
than 800 votes, caused his Akron
friends to wonder how it happened.
They had thought that if any man
had good claim upon the political
support ofMr. Hanna, it was Senator
Alexander, for at the last session of
the Legislature no man worked
harder than he to promote the Sena-
torial candidacy of the great boss.
1t will be remembered that in the
heat of the Senatorial contest, Mr..
Alexander not only resigned the
trusteeship of the Institute for the
Feeble Minded, to which position he
had been. appointed by Governor
Bushnell, but against the wishes of
his friends he even went to the
extremity Of denouncing the Repub-
licans, who opposed Hanna, as
traitors and yellow dogs"
And as a climax to his service in
behalf of Hanna, the Akron Senator
was one of the most active friends of
the measure to.legislate 1900 Foraker
and Cox Republicans out of office at
Cincinnati because they would not
line up for Mr.. Hanna for Senator.
When it became necessary for Mr..
Hanna to have. the support of Boss
Cox in order to control the guberna-
torial nomination yesterday, the
Cincinnati boss was not slow to de-
mand as price of such support the
privilege of naming the candidate
for Lieutenant Governor. Cox wants
to get some of his 1900 friends who
were turned out by Alexander, back
into Office, and to do so it will be
necessary to control the organization
of the next Senate by having a tool
in the office of Lieutenant Governor.
Forgetting the valuable services
rendered by Senator Alexander.
Hanna readily agreed to the deal
proposed by Cox, Notwithstanding
that Cox was his inveterate enem,
during the Senatorial contest
and the result is told with greater.
force than words by the figures at the
head of this column.
After having befriended Hanna
when friends were needed, Alexan-

OFFICERS RESPONSIBILITIES
Departmental Action in the Case OF
the Massachusetts.

Secretary Long has made the following
statement in regard to the court of inquiry
which investigated the grounding of the
Massachusetts,:
THE department has approved the pro-
ceedings of the court and in pursuance of
its recommendations has addressed letters
of reprimand to Captain Ludlow and Lieu
tenant Potts, directing attention particu-
larry to the fact that the best availab bic
charts were not used; that no cross bear
ings were taken, that only one leadsman
was in the chains, and that verification of
the ranges were not had for five minutes
before the vessel struck, and that these Of
hcerS were negligent in not having the
ranges verified. The department expresses
its surprise that officer of sufficient
rank and experience to be placed in COM
mand of a battle ship of the navy should
have neglected such necessary precautions
in navigation. thus imperilng her safety
TO such an extent as to warrant a court
of inquiry in recommending public repri-
mand. The fact was emphasized that the
presence of a pilot on board in no sense re-
lieved these officers from personal atten-
ton to the welfare of the vessel when in
the neighDorhood of dangers which the
charts plainly indicated, and that even or
binary Drecaution seems to have been ne
elected. The department has in conse-
quence of further findings by the court d.
rected that Navy Yard Pilot Frank w
Bell be suspended from duty for six
months, and that Sandy Hook Pilot Henry
l.. Viewer be not again employed If such a.
course can be avoided

is trunk ditch running, connected

bottom of the crawls is on level with the

mud about six inches deep. Into this the

the opening of both crawls SO we can let

RAILWAY PRESIDENTS CONFER.
Uniformity of Freight Rates the End
Sought,

There was an important conference yes
terday between the presidents of leading
trunk lines and members of the interstate
commerce commission at which informal
assurance was given of cooperation to
bring about uniformity of freight rates.
The presidents of the following named
roads We're present: Grand Trunk. New
York Central, Erie, Delaware and Lacka
wanna. the Lehigh Valley, Reading system,
Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Michigan Central, Lake
Shore, Nickel Plate. Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg and the Wabash
The conference was secret and informal
and in the nature of a discussion over
rates, instead of an official investigation
by the commission. The result of the meet
ing is viewed with considerable satisfac-
tlon, and Ii is thought an arrangement may
be devised shortly to effect a thorough tar
if uniformity.

PADEREWSkI'S HOME.

The Tygodnik Illustrowany of War
saw said last month that Paderewski,
the great pianist, purchased a beautiful
country home in Poland last year. The
paper says: He spent several months
in his newly acquired home, making
plans for progressive farming and cat
tie raising. He is deeply interested in
the betterment of the condition of the
peasantry living around his place and
is on the most friendly terms with
them
The dispatches have already spoken
of his recent concert tour in his native
land, the first he made in Poland since
his reputation became world wide. The
paper quoted says:
1T was certainly a triumphaI tour.
After his first concert a banquet was
given in his honor at Warsaw on jan
uary %. Two hundred of the most
prominent citizens were present. Pade-
rewski sat between Sienkiewicz and
Baron Kronenberg. Many toasts were
drunk and speeches made. Paderewski
made a speech which proves him to be
an excellent speaker. 1t was simple
and sincere. without any attempt at
rhetorical effect At its conclusion he
proposed a toast in honor of Polish
women. The ladies present in the gal
lery threw flowers at him and covered
him with bOuQu0tS.'

KIPLING'S FORCE.

(From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Although little is known of Rudyard
Kipling's private life enough has trans
pired to stamp him as a man unidue-a
man without fellow. The sketch of his
life in his Brattleboro home goes TO show
that. while he is sociabIe and approach
able he is yet jealous of the right of
privacy and nobody can extract informa-
ton for curioSity's sake.
But public interest in the man is very
keen. is natural and proper. KiDling
represents the red blood sentiment of the
Anglo-Saxon. The sentiment which finds
expression in the killing of savages in
brute force. energy in action and the re-
hgion whose God is the God Of Battles
rather than the God of Love. He is the
counterpart in letters of Cromwell in
arms. Chatham in craftsmanship and Cecil
Rhodes in affairs
Such a character commands respect and
fear. but it does not excite any affection
He would be mourned sincerely and pro-
foundry by the whole Anglo-Saxon race
should he die at this time. but through
pride in him as personal force rather
than for love of the mans individuality.
