Plans For Zanesville's New
"Y" Bridge.

The bids for the new "Y'. bridge,
opened by the county commissioners
yesterday, embrace a great variety OF
design and price.
Mr. Osborn, the county's consulting
engineer, says he never in all his long
experience saw as fine a set of plans
submitted in response to an advertise
ment as those furnished by the bidders
for the "Y" bridge. He accountsefor
this from the fact that the bridge Is a
famous structure and every firm in the
country is anxious to show what 1t
can do with the liberal appropriation
thathas been made available. More
over, the bridge firms of the country
are satisfied that everything in con-
nection with the contract will be done
ION the square" and that every plan
and price submitted will be considered
'structly on its merits.
Only a cursory examination of the
many plans submitted has yet been

either { steel Or concrete bridge Of
imposing proportions and great per-
manency can be constructed.
The commissioners are inclined to
believe that the computation of steel
and cement will be found cheaper than
an all steel bridge. While the bids on
the steel bridges are somewhat lower
than those on the concrete structures,
the latter are for the complete bridge,
while the former do not include the
sub-structure which is estimated to
cost between thirty-five and forty-flve
thousand dollars.
Some of the sketches for concrete
bridges submitted by the bidders are
exceedingly artistic with band stand
and clock tower at the center of the
bridge.-Times Recorder.

To Knock Out Game Laws.

A determined effort is going to be
made to have the game laws OF this
state declared unconstitutional. This
course was decided upon at a meeting
of sportsmen held at the American
house Thursday evening.
Representatives from A shooting
clubs which have grounds along the
lake shore were present at the meet
ing, and they were a unit in saying
thatthe present game laws. as amend
ed by the late legislature, are absurd.
The best legal talent in the state will
be secured to knock out the law. A
committee consisting OF Col. Louis
Smithnight. OF the Ottawa Club, G. p.
Bodifield, OF the Lotus Club, and w. r.
worthington. OF the Huron Club, was
appointed to consult attorneys. They
are to report TO a larger committee

Representative Ovefstreet, OF Indi-
ana, Secretary Of the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, is
to join Chairman Babcock
at the headquarters of the committee
in Chicago in a few days, and both of
them will spend the greater part of his
summer there. OF the work to be done
at the branch headquarters in Wash
ington, Mr.. Oyerstreet said: "The
Eastern branch Of the Committee
work, which will be directed from
Washington, will be in charge of Rep
resentative Loudenslager, OF N. j. He
will look after close districts In this
committee located at Chicago will de-
vote attention to close districts in the
middle west" When asked what he
thought. of the Democratic claims OF a
majority in the next House, Mr.. Over
street replied: 1T is the habit of the
Democrats to talk that way at the be-
ginning of every campaign. They
talked that way in 1898, and by the
first OF October OF that year they had
the Republican party actually beaten,
in their claims. But we went to work
with will and carried the House by
a good majority. l believe we can in
crease that majority next November
and that President Mckinley will be
reelected by a splendid vote"
The Republican National Com
mittee will be asked to sanction the
use of graphophones in the campaign
and il they agree all of the important
Republican speeches made during the
last session OF Congress will be re-
spoken by graphophones in all sec
tions Of the country. Cylinders con-
tanning number OF speeches by such
prominent Republicans as Senator'S
Allison, Depew, Fairbanks, Spooner
and Wolcott,and Representatives Can
non, Hull and Mercer have been ship
ped to Philadelphia in order that the
committee may have an opportunity
to judge the effect of graphophonic or
atory.
The critical situation in China was
thoroughly discussed at cabinet
meeting this week. There will be no
change in the attitude of this govern
ment, which is to keep our fingers out
of the internal affairs of China and to
ourselves to protecting Ameri-
cans and American interests. There
are reasons to fear that the Chinese
revolution will result in an interna-
tional war in which one or more Eu-
ropean powers may become involved,
and which may compel some action
upon the part Of this government to
save our large and rapidly increasing
trade with China. The administration
will resist any interference with our
commerce, regardless of its source.
We now have the right to trade with
China and we are going to keep it.

Dewey-Where Was He?

Poor Dewey! He did not have one
solitary political friends at yester-
days Ohio Democratic Convention. He
did not have one delegate in that large
assemblage who thought enough Of
him to give him the passing and per-
functory compliment of even mention
ing. his name. Nay, more. He did not
have one friend in the audience out
side the delegates who was willing to
make a reference to him either as
candidate or as naval hero, who had
recently Joined the Democratic party.
During the entire convention the ad
miials name was not mentioned by
anybody in any connection or in any
way.
OF course, no one with any know
ledge Of the trend of events In politics
and any common sense expected that
Dewey's name would find its way into
he resolutions. The Democratic
masses OF Ohio have shown themselves

a little enthusiasm for him as a naval
hero who, even as late as his Colum-
bus visit, declared that he would con-,
slider it a great honor to be chosen as
the standard bearer of the Democrats
in the coming presidential campaign.
What does 1t all mean? Why one

has said before, that his candidacy
was but fash in the pan; that even
the talk about 1t as anything like

votion Of the mass of the Democratic
party to Mr.. Bryan. The lonely few

ed salaries on July 1.-the individual in
creases ranging from 500 to $1,000.
The aggregate increase to the 1s914

The salaries OF clerks in Postoffices
have not increased so uniformly, This
year the average has reached the max
imum, 1922.
The increased appropriation for
clerk hire this year has made 1t possi-
bel to promote from 4,500 Ito 5000
clerks in Postoffices; also, 900 addi-
tlonal clerks have been provided for
from July l, 1900.
The increased appropriation, 1t Is

take the fifteen days leave of absence
contemplated by law, and an emerg-
ency fund will be placed at the dispos-
al of first-class offices for extra as
sistance during holidays and other
times when there is a large increase of
business. The Postoffice officials have
storing hopes that If conditions contin-
lie to improve it will be feasible to linn
it working hours throughout the SER
vice to eight hours day, beginning
with the fiscal year July /, 1902.

The Politician.

Washington, June 15.-Many at

for a Vice Presidential candidate, but
none OF them have been successful. H.

The assembling OF the Republican
National Committee in Philadelphia
this week to hear contested eases and
attend 20 other preliminary conven-
tiOn work has materially ie5senei the
number of prominent Republicans in
Washington. Several able-bodied Vice
Presidential booms have also transfer
red their headquarters to the conyen-
tion city. including those of Secretary
Long, and Representative Doll;ver. OF
Iowa. Although Mr.. Dollive:,'s hoom
is almost brand new, he is rapidly
making headway, and is being ably
pushed by Senator Allison, Speaker
Henderson and other experienced
boomers. II Mr.. Dolllver did not hail
from such rock-ribbed Republican
state, he would be regarded as almost
a sure winner. No man in Congress
has greater personal popularity and no
one more thoroughly deserves it. II
personal qualification, instead of geo
graphical location, was the determin-
ing factor, no man would have a bet
ter chance for the nomination than
Mr.. Dolliver. Ex-Secretary Bliss, of
New York, is again being brought for

ing done against his wishes,
Senator Chandler is out in long in
teryiew warning the Republicans OF
the danger Of losing the election by

CoURTMAHTIAL OF MCGOWAN.
To BE Tried for Shooting "a Filipino
and Not Reporting 1t.

Washington, May IA court of inquiry
has been ordered to meet in Washington
on May q, composed of Admirals Rodgers,
Cotton and Terry, to investigate the cir
cumstanees attending the shooting by
Capt. MCGOWAN of a Filipino near the
United States ship Monadnock in the har-
Dor of Cebu on Nov. q, 1899, and also the
alleged failure of the captain to report the
matter to the commanGer-in-chief of the
Asiatic squadron.
The facts in the case as they are re-
ported TO the navy department are that the
officer was on the deck of his ship at the
noon hour when the regular officer of the
deck was at dinner below. Hovering about
was native boat which had been warned
away, only to return.
1t was not conceived that the Monad-
mock was endangered by the presence of
such little craft but the commanding
officer had been having much trouble in
preventing the natives from smuggling
rum aboard to the sailors and had given
orders that no unauthorized native boats
should be permitted to approach the Mon
adnock. So when this particular craft
failed to make off as required, the cap
tain himself taking a revolver sought to
frighten the crew by firing a shot across
the bow. Unfortunately the shot. strik-
ing the water, was detected so as to pass
through the BODY of one of the Filipincs.
The wounded man was hauled aboard
the Monadnock and after being given first
aid. was shipped off to shore hospital
where he died in the course of a day or
two
This incident was referred to In the press
reports from Manila and after waiting a
reasonable period of time TO be offlci5lly
informed the navy department made in
quiry of Admiral Watson to learn the
facts. The Admiral responded that the
mater had not ben reported to him and
this omission on the part of Capt McGow-
an is one of the matters into which the
court is to inquire, the other being the pro-
prety of the action of the commanding Of
icer of the Mcnadnock in taking into his
own hands the execution of an order to
fire, instead of calling upon a marine or
sailor to do So
Capt. MCGOWAN is broken in health as
the result of the service on board the mons
itor in the harbor of Manila, and has Tend
ing an application to be permitted TO re-
tire under the terms of the act allowing r.
tirements with an advance of grade, but
his Application has not been granted so fa~,
owing to the fact that the personnel act
does not sanction any more retirements of
Captains during the present year.
