WANTED HIS FARE RING Up.
An Italian Who Demanded Music Of the street
Gar Conductor.

The conductor Of a Brooklyn trolley car had
n peculiar experience with an Italian one night
la-t week. The Italian wanted a ridc with
music thrown in for his five cents. passenger
described the incident:
i boarded the car with six other passengers,
including an Italian. at the suburban end of
the road on one Of the late trips. The chr had
gone n short distance when the conductor be-
gan 10 collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat and his money was roll eCted last
Everything went Well for about half a mile
when the Italian jumped Ia his feet and waved
his hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him what
the trouble was, The Italian said.
Me wanta my tiya Centi back
The conductor told him that he could not
have the money The Italian insisted
Every boda getta music for a fva oanta,
me no got
The conductor grasped the situation at
once, and seeing that he was accused Of nickel
ing. started 10 clear himself lie showed the
Italian that there were seven passengers on
the car, and that that number of fares werr
registered, He also explained why the Italian
did not get any music for his nickel tie said
while collecting the fares IN the front part
Of the car ] rang mp one fare too much. and II |

While this explanation was going on the

rivet being used throughout. Grea, strength
and lightness are thus secured, the advantage
in this latter respect being very striking. "a will
be seen by the fact that the Consuta, which is
illustrated herewith is only about half the
weight Of a boat Of similar size constructed Of
the lightest steel plating which has hitherto
been used when great strength. combined with
a minimum Of weight, was a consideration. The
Consuta was specially built for Mr.. n $. Clut-
ton to carry one of the umpires at Henley re-
Ratta. while il is also used to carry the coach Of
the Oxford crew during the practice for tho
university boat race.
The launch is admirably suited for these pur-
poses. as in addition to her great speed she
has done 27l3 miles an hour over the measured
mile she throws very little wash. her screw
being rlaced far nearer the engines and nearer
amidshlps. and the stern not only overhanCs.
screw the stern sinks, II is lifted by the back
wash. and this does away with the following
wave while lifting the back part Of the vessel,
so that she runs on an even keel.
That Sanndars's system marks an epoch in
bont construction there can be no doubt. The
want OF small craft possessing great speed
called for 9 type and make OF boat in which the
ably blended. the employment Of light steel
plating possessing great strength s%tirened bv
angles having up 10 the present represented
this. But now by the adoption of this very
clever inys ntion. a great stride in the building
Of such craft, may be confidently ex-
tial features Of stiffness and strength
are secured In. the minimum OF weight
Is striking. The beautifully simple method Of
building. the several skins, running in different
directions taking up as many stresses go to
form a whole which one may confidently say
cannot be beaten And this on a weigh not
would be necessary building in steel. Mr.. Saun-
ders IL, We believe. prepared to take orders for

TO MEET NOVEMBER 90.
Republican Members of Ways and
Means Committee VIII he Called
Together.

Washington, November 9.-Represen-
tative s. E. Payne of New York. chair
man of the ways and means committee,
and Republican leader Of the House, was
at the White House today and had con-
ference with the President. Later in the
day MIR. Payne said he would call q
meeting of the Republicans Of his COM
mittee for November 20. One OF :he mat
ters which will come before this meeting
VIII be the proposed reduction in the war
revenue taxes. He did not think, how
ever, that the reduction would exceed
sl6.000,OC0 or less than one-hfth Of the
present revenues from that source.
Much, he thought, would depend upon
the state Of affairs In the Philippines
when the bill came up for consideration.
There were, however, a number OF Items
In the present law that might be wisely
eliminated and these would receive AZ
tention. MIR. Payne expressed the view
that the ship subsidy bill would be taken
up and an effort made to pass 1t during
the coming session.

Senator Not Presidential
Candidate.
Says He VIII Kill Man Who
Started the Story.

New York, November 9.-Senator Han
ma arrived here today and went to Re.
publican headquarters. Concerning the
result of the election, the Senator said:
"The people of this country were over
whelmingly in favor Of sound money.
law and order. and a continuation Of
that policy which stands for prosperity.
Patriotism and loyalty to the nag were
strong factors in this campaign, and that
generally termed sound money Demo-
Gratis or gold Democrats, but whom / call
American citizens, all combined to bring
about this result.
"Nebraska was the greatest victory Of
all. We made a haI sght In that state;
we went for It for all we were worth and
while we did our utmost ana hoped for
the best, we did not expect to carry 1t.
"We gave the campaign west of the
Mississippi river our special attention
and found the response to our efforts so
encouraging that we were encouraged TO
redouble our efforts In that section, even
In Nebraska, and then we began to en- :
tertain ssrious-perhaps l should say
oheerful-hopes of carrying Bryan's own
state.
"We have carried Kentucky, and we
have not yet given up hope of receiving
her electoral vote and we do not propose
to give up. We have carried the state
and we propose to fight for it."
"How about changes in the cabinet,
Senator" Mr.. Hanna was asked.
"You won't get q word out OF me
to say about that. 1t is none Of my
affair."
"what do you think of Roosevelt's
CamPaignY,. - ,u... .no,... =. j.
vote getter and i cannot say enough in
token Of my appreciation of the glorious
fight he made. No other man could have
"Do you think Bryan will be the Dem
ocratic candidate In 1904"
"There Is nothing that can make Mr..
Bryan the logical candidate OF the Dem
ooratio party again. by 1904 Democracy
will have secured divorce from Bryan
ism and no one will be more happy to
see 1t than myself. 1 would far rather
have the Democratic party opposed to us
than that of Bryan. Though they would
be more formidable would prefer TO see
the party reorganized.along It's old lines. :"
MIR, Hanna's attention was called TO
the fact that Senator Depew had said
the insurrection should be put down In
the philippines at once, no matter how
much money and how many men it
would require to accomplish this end
and was asked for his opinion on the sub
ject. He replied:
"I think the insurrection will evapo-
rats almost at once, but II II should not,
L think we can safely leave the matter
In the hands of the President"
"It has beensannounced that you are a
candidate for the Presidency in 1904?"
''If lind the man who started that
report, 1 will kill him. 1 won't talk
about that or allow any one else to do
It, IL is too absurd. F"
"Do you mean to say your would de-
cline the nomination If 1t were rendered
you"
"WelI, something very like IL; but /
don't wish to discuss shat at all. 1t is too
foolish"
Mr.. Hanna will remain In the city
until tomorrow evening, when the ma
tional headquarters VIII be closad. He
VIII then return to Cleveland.

AFFAIRS IN CHINA.
Some Interesting Information From
French Yellow Book.

Paris, November 9.-The Chinese yell
low book which was distributed In parli-
ament today shows that early In March,
NJ. Del Case, the French minister OF for.
eign affairs, urging q combined naval
demonstration In view Of the agitation in
China. was opposed by a majority OF the
powers.
The most interesting despatch In the
book to .[Amerioans, Isl the telegram
which NJ. Del Case sent to the French
ambassador at Washington and st. Peters
burg, September ID, as follows:
1.-The am bassador OF the United states,
at my reception yesterday was pleased to
recall that since the commencement OF
affairs In China, France, Russia and the
United States have acted together in per-
feet agreement, He believed that this ac-
cord Will be maintained and that the
United States will retire from Pekin on
the same condition as France and Rus
sia. told General Porter that the mani
festation of this continued accord was
calculated to influence the deflnitive reso-
lutions of the other powers. such Is the
opinion OF General Porter, who believes
Japan will be the first to follow the ex-
AMPLE
a long, graphic report from NJ. Piohon,
the French minister at Pekin, OF the
siege of the legations, includes the fol-
lowing extract from his diary:
"July 2 During the night the Ameri-
cams and Russians captured q barricade
which the Chinese had constructed
twenty-five metres from their own 1t
was necessary to carry 1t at the point OF
the bayonet, An American captain was
wounded and two marines We're killed
The Chinese lost heavily. The Operation
was brilliantly carried out and does great
honor to those who took part In 1t. This
barricade will henceforth be occupied by
the Americans and Russians and appears
to be one of our principal safeguards.

AGAINST FILIPINOS.
A vigorous Campaign VIII BE Insti-
tuied at Once.

Washington, November 9.-All the
members of the cabinet except Secretaries
Long AMI Wilson attended the meeting
today. They remained In session until
nearly two O'Clock and discussed the Chi
nese situation as we'll as matters pertain
ing to Cuba. the Philippines and Porto
Rico.
Two of the.three hours thai the session
lasted were occupied in discussion of
foreign affairs. ne3essitated in part by the
fact that the President intends to ex-
haustively treat on this subject in his
forthcoming message to Congress, Ref
erences was made to the expressions In
portions of the european press that the
United States policy regarding China
would undergo marked changes immedi-
ately after the election, and 1t Is authori-
tativley announced that after most ex-
haustive review of every step or the Chi
nese difficulty, from its inception up to
the present moment, delivered by Secre-
tary Hay, the cabinet ratified every detail
and moreover unanimously expressed Its
Judgment that the policy so far pursued
should be continued without change to
its logical conclusion.
Accordingly the present legation guard
at Pekin will be maintained and such
troops as yet remain to be Withdrawn.
according to the original programme, Will
be shipped to Manila. With ttis addition
to his force, General Macarthur is ex
pected TO renew the campaign against the
rebellious Filipinos with the gre attest en-
ergy. Administration officials here think
that as soon as the result OF the election
becomes known throughout the Philip
pines, the resistance to the authority Of
the United States will be overcome.
