POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Lost His Grip.-If the returns from
Philadelphia are read correctly, young E.
H. r. Green. son Of Hetty Green, the mil
iionaire New York business woman. has
lost his grip on the Republican machine
in Texas. Mr.. Green has been prominent
in the politics Of the Lone Star State for
several years, and at present is State
Chairman. He wished to be a member OF
the National Committee, but the decision
of the Texas contests yesterday was
against him. 1t is now understood that
Representative Hawley will secure the po-
sition. There were several Texas con-
tests. Technically the fight involved the
regularity of the various conventions.
State and district. As a matter of fact,
however. the decision of the contests car
ried with it the selection of the member
OF the National Committee. Mr.. Green
and Representative Hawley are both duly
elected delegates from both factions. Each
OF these two, however, has several polit-
zeal associates who were claimed to be the
regularly elected men. In nearly every
case the Hawley people we're seated. Mr..
HaWley, in his argument for his candi
dates, said that they repra sented decent
Republican politics in Texas" which OBJ
viously is slur on the Green people and
on Mr.. Green, son of Hetty, as we'll

Mclean TO Europe and the Mclean pro-

from Ohio today are 20 the effect that Mr..
Mclean does not by any means wish 10

that he has not broken with them Nj

WHAT A NAVAL OFFICER SAW.
Munitions of War Prepared In VAST
Quantities at the Shanghai Arsenal.

Official and unofficial opinion Is by no
means unanimous that China IS unprepared
for a war with the rest of the world: In
fact. there are many persons more or less
well informed who believe that China has
accumulated great stores Of arms and am
mention, and Is further prepared to con-
6nue their manufacture.
An officer of the navy has written n
letter to a relative in this city describing a
visit he made IN May to the great Kiangwan
arsenal. near Shanghai The officer Is
aboard naval vessel now in Chinese wa
tiers. and visiting the arsenal in an
official capacity. He declares that it Is one
OF The largest and most complete establish
ments Of the kind in the world Thousands
of Cinnamon are employed in making arms
and ammunition. and there are only two
foreigners in the entire establishment They
are Englisnmen, and 1t IS claimed that
their services could be dispensed with The
writer says that guns Of every caliber are
turned out easily and satisfactorily and
that Joru tons Of ammunition are made
each month
The officer says that the mystery Is where
the arms and ammunition go. Foreigners
officials and others. have been trying to
solve the mystery. and the logical conclu-
sion Is that China has been boarding these
supplies of war for years. and has been
doing IL in a way to prevent the rest of
the world knowing her preparations
