UNKNOWN MEN ARE
ADRIFT IN SOUND

Milford, Ct, Nov. 10.-Early this
morning two unknown men, supposed
to come from New Haven, rented a
rowboat at Woodmont and started out
fishing. When short distance from
land they broke an oar. A strong east
wind was blowing off shore and the
men found it impossible to put the
boat about and return, and they swift
" drifted out into the sound. William
Hall and Clifford Merwin put out in
rowboat after the unfortunate men,
but after two hours work were com
PEELED to return.
The New Haven police were notified
and two tugs were sent out to look
for the drifting craft but after search
ing for some hours put back to the
city unsuccessful.
A high wind has been blowing all
day and the water is extremely rough,
and it is doubtful if the small craft
will live outside the breakwater. II
they escape this fate, however, 1t is
probable that the men will be frozen
to death for they were insufficiently
clothed for such an experience.

BOOTS" DHRNELL is
DISQUALIFIED FOR LIFE

Paris. Nov. lO.-C. T. ("Boots'O Durnell
the American jockey and trainer, has
been disqualified for life by the Jockey
Club. on the ground that he deliberately
remained at the post at St Cloud. Oct.
%, when he rode Londres in the Prix de

Durnell protests that his remaining at
the post was due to a Misunderstanding.
He says he has ridden for years in the
United States, but has never been sum

Mr. Williams. president of the Califor-
mia Jockey Club, stood sponsor for him
when he applied for the French license
five months ago. Durnell denies he has

c. T. Durnell is well known in Califor-
MIA racing circles. He has raced a string
of horses at San Francisco every season

BREAKER ISLAND PLANT
WILL BE ABSORBED

Troy, N. Y, Nov. 1O.-Negotiations are
being carried on by ]. Pierpont Morgan
whereby it is expected the Breaker Island
plant of the Troy Steel Company will
soon be absorbed by the United States
Steel Corporation. The plant, which is
the largest in the state, has been idle for
five years. and is now in the hands of a
receiver. At one time it employed over
1900 men.
During the past summer the buildings
and furnaces have been repaired at a
large expenditure. 1t was expected the
transfer would be made last summer, but
Mr.. Morgan refused to act until the steel
strike was settled. He was given the OPP
ton on the plant when the United States
Steel Corporation was formed.

VOTE IN OHIO WAS
SMALLEST IN YEARS

Cincinnati Nov. l0.-With almost half
the official returns from the IS counties in
Ohio received, il is estimated that the
total vote may be 100000 less than for
governor two years ago. when 920S72
votes were cast and almost quarter of
a million less than for President last
year. when the total vote Of Ohio was
LOS, 121.
Notwithstanding the increase in popu-
lation during the past 10 years. the total
vote will likely be much less than for
President in 1855 when It was S4l,94, and
probably less than has been cast for gov
ernor since that time, with a single eX-
ception.
The returns show that the greatest

Equal OPPORTUNITY.

An article from the pen Of AdRairal
SchIey, in Success" puts him squarely
on record in opposition to Admiral Samp-
sons recent recommendation against the
promotion of men from the ranks of the
navy to commissioned officers. Admiral
Schley says he has always favored the
equal opportunity for promotion of the
man behind the gun in the navy with his
brother I'm the army, citing his official rec
ommendation to that effect of about fif-
teen years ago. BY taking this attitude
Admiral Schley adds luster to his record
and upholds the honor of his rank. Any
other suggestion casts slur upon the
high office held by Farragut and Porter
and upon the character as gentlemen OF
Perry and Melville. The Navy Depart
ment may engrave the portrait of Samp-
son upon the Santiago medal, but nothing
the department can do will wipe out the
stain of claiming all honor for victory in
which he did not personally participate, or
of a snobbish insult to the enlisted men,

Our National Growth.

The tremendous industrial growth
ana increase Of wealth in the United
States should be a source OF gratifica-
ton and pride 70 every citizen Of the
Republic, but unless the reasons for
our phenomenal development are Wen
understood, even those Of high intelli-
gence are quite likely TO be misled by
the claims Of partisan leaders and the
nature OF the comparisons made by
many non-partisan statisticians. For
example, Mr.. Hanna, speaking for the
Republican organization, claims broad
" that the marvellous prosperity Of the
country is owing to the policy Of the
party which he represents, and. in ef-
feet, he asserts that the prosperity viii
continue as long as the Republican
party remains in power.
The Republican leaders dictum on
tn Sc points is blindly accepted by myr-
lads Of weIl-meaning people. OF
course he knows better. and every
body ought to know that his talk is
merely for political effect But those
who honestly accept the statement that
the Republican party is the benehcent
cause OF all our prosperity completely
lose sight Of the enormous natural ad-
vantsges which our country possesses.

hesitates to offer it in Parliament for

SOLDIER AND DIPLOMAT.

General Gomez is a diplomat and poet
as well as a soldier. His address to the
American people is most fowery and
graceful. But more important than his
language is the warm heart behind it all.
In spite Of fiery temper. General Gomez.
through all the political complications,
has shown himself a pretty good friend Of
the United States. His visit to President
Mckinley is one of the most picturesque
episodes in our effort for the redemption
and regeneration of Cuba. There are very
few Of our people who viii not sympathize
with the old generals desire to see the
flag of independence floating for a time at
least over the fair island which has seen
so much bitter grief and now deserves
peace and prosperity.-Boston Journal

british Nnr Finances.

The London Statist," one of the
ablest and most conservative econo-
mic and financial journals in the Old
World, frankly admits that at the
present rate Of expenditure for war
purposes in South Africa, amounting to
seven million five hundred thousand
dollars per week, the surplus in the
treasury derived from the latest con-
soils loan viii be wiped out by October
IS, and that then il viii become neces-
sary for the Government TO borrow
more money, and a large sum, unless
conditions should change in the mean
time, which now does not look prob
able. The "Statist" argues that. before
adjourning Parliament should endow
the treasury officials with power TO deal
with the matter temporarily, and to
raise funds by the issue OF treasury
certificates to be taken up later with
the proceeds Of new loan.
The question presented by the stat
ist' is one which has been troubling
the British Ministry a great deal of
late The debt burden on the backs Of
the British taxpayers is already a Sc
rious matter, and one which neither
they nor their rulers like to contem-
plate. The income tax is believed to
have reached its limit, and if addi-
tional revenue be demanded not any of
Il probably could come from that
source. On the occasion this year
when Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chan
cellor. of the Exchequer, proposed and
carried an export duty Of a shilling
per ton on coal. it will be remembered
that there was a storm Of angry pro-
test and a widespread impression in the
trade that such a tax would result in
shutting England and Wales out Of the
coal markets Of Western Europe and
the Mediterranean.
If we were to assume that the South
African war would last another year,
and nothing at present seems to prom
ise anything better, at the present rate
OF cost. which is not likely to be re-
duced but quite conceivably might be
increased, at the end of that period
there would be an additional debt of
three hundred and ninety million dol
lars TO provide for; and it is not easy
to see how such a new loan could be
financed without, for England. the dan
gerous resort to a general protective
tariff.
With these considerations in view
there is no room for wonder that the
present ministry, which brought on the
war, looks askance at the subject, and

WHAT WAR HAS DELAYED.

If Mr. Mckinley had not adopted a war
like policy in the Philippines or had not
in fact. bought the Philippines at all. and
if at the same time the American people
had continued TO pay their taxes without
a murmur. this country would today have
no public debt at all Think of it. We
might have been the only great country
in the world without a dollar OF public
Indebtedness and, therefore. free from the
obligation to pay $4,000 600 year OF in
terest money. This is the result that
might have been accomplished with the
money that has been thrown away in kill
ing from 70. 600 to 100O00 Filipinos during
the last three years.-Hartford Times
