ILLINOIS POLiTICS.

Governor Tanner practically served
notice on President Mckinley and
friends of the national administration
In Illinois that the Republican organi-
zation will not tolerate interference In
the management and direction of party
politics In this State. The Governor
did not employ threats. On the con-
trary, his language was diplomatic
and even highly laudatory of the Pres
ident. He said that the Republicans
Of Illinois are capable of running their
own politics without outside interior
cnce and will insist upon doing so.
The prospective candidacy for Gov
ernor of Interstate Commerce Commits.
slOner William J. Calhoun. with it's at.
tendant stories about Mr.. Calhoun
having the support Of the Presiden,
and his friends. was the immediate
cause Of the Governors warning. He
said, among other things:
II do not believe that any man or set
Of men have been authorized by Presi-
dent Mckinley to come into Illinois for
the purpose of promoting the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Calhoun or any other citi-
zen who may happen to enjoy friendly
relations with the President. The Re.
publlcans of Illinois, and, indeed, the
whole people of the State, are Il unit in
favor of the denomination of President
Mckinley. The party leaders are SO
thoroughly committed to this idea that
they will doubtless urge every county
convention to adopt resolutions in
structing their delegates TO the State
Convention to demand instructions for
delegates to the National Convention
in favor OF the denomination of the
President. President Mckinley Is
aware Of the sentiment IN the party
ana Is not apt to do anything 10 de-
stroy that sentiment, We all appreci'
ate the fact that there l. nothing for
the Republican party TO do bur renom'
mate the President. He will he re-
elected by an overwhelming majority,
II the National Convention were to turn
him down the people would c0nstruc
its action To mean that the Republican
party was not in sympathy with the
Presidents war policy, and that wDil'l
he fatal TO the party's chances"
The Governor and majority ol
the leaders of the machine ar" con
cerned about Mr.. Culhoun's ambition
10 head the next State ticket. They
have no doubt whatever about thcll
ability to defeat Mr. Calhoun In The
convention but realize that In doing II
they will engender Il great deal OF bit
terness that may exercise an unforu
nate influence on the result OF the cleo
ton. Mr. Calhoun Is popular with tli'

MORE PARKS ARE NEEDED.

Plans to give breathing places ana
recreation grounds TO the people who
live In crowded districts far from the
larger parks were presented to the
Council Monday night. One came from
Martin b. Madden. former Chairman
OF the Finance Committee Of the COun.
cIl. who showed his interest In the
movement by Offering To subscribe
$1,000 to purchase tract Of land
which could be used by the people Of

the appointment by the Mayor Of u
commission, who should net with rep
resentatives of the park boards In out
lining u systematic plan. They shall
also procure full Information NJ to the
clty's needs, present and future, In re.
gard to small parks to be owned by
tho city. The third proposition came
from Alderman Math. who asked the
Council to appropriate each year
$4,000, received from the rental Of
city property In Madison street, for the
purchase OF recreation grounds. En-
Alderman Madden. In his letter to the
Council referring to the interest he had
taken In the project for small city
parks while he was In the Council,
said:
"The health of our people almost de-
mands there shall be places for rccrea-
ton In the densely populated localities.
Thus far this important sanitary fea'

10RpsDoES STfEReD BY LioHT.

A young Swedish inventor, Mr.. AXcl
Orllng. In conjunction with Mr.. j. I.
Armstrong, Of London. has discovered
a new way Of transmitting motor
power, not. however, by sending cleo.
trical waves through the air, but--and
this II more wonderfully rnys OF
light. And the new system enables tor
pedOes to be steered, although having
no visible, material connection with
the steersmnn.
A torpedo, to he governed by the new
principles, Is fitted with an apparatus
to receive the light-rays sent out from
the controlling station, and to trans.
form them NO as to cause electrical In
ductiOn. thus enabling the operator on
ship or on shore to set the torpedOs
rudders at any angle that he desires.
Moreover, the rays give the operator
absolute control over the detOnating
pistol. 40 that the torpedo shall en-
plOde when the operator decides that
the psychological moment has arrived.
The torpedo can he controlled rs long
as It can he seen-thnt II to say, when
the operator IL on the shore Its range
Is the horizon some five or ak miles
distant; when the operator, by ascend
ing to an altitude, can command u
twenty.mile view, twenty miles Is the
tOrpedO's range. The new rays. 10 far
as Is known. are affected by no OBJ
stacles-they will pass through hills or
brick houses with undiminisled power.
When the torpedo Is travelling beneath
the water--it Is usually submerged--a
shaft projecting from 1t above the wa
ter, surmOunted by a white disc, re-
celves the rays, and passes them on,
to he transmitted into motive energy.
At nighttime the projecting rod carries
n strong electric light, shaded so rs to
be invisible to the enemy, though WIS.,

With the new appliance, any number

tor with whole regiment OF tOrpedoes

he desires, and maneuver them through

afford bad target for guns.-Pear'
