MIR. BABC0cK IS UP IN ARMS
BY ALBERT HALSTEAD.

Washington. March 2-(Spec5ial. 1.-The action of the Maryland Legislature in passing a new election law, with the avowed intention of disfranchising enough Republican voters 10 turn the State over to Arthur P. German, and the constitutional convention, soon to meet in Alabama to dsfranchise the negroes has made a decided impression on Repub- licans in Washington, even on those who have opposed the reduction of southern representation in Congress. There has been general desire on the part of Re- publican leaders to cultivate feelings or amity in the south, but the evident de- termination of the Democracy to strengthen it's hold on the south by dis franchising Republican voters has made quite a number of Republicans feel that the time has come to take some action to make the states that thus disfran- chised voters to lose in representation. This matter has not reached a stage where it can be said that any action is definitely determined upon, but it Is cer- tain that during the Congressional recess Republicans will discuss the question and try to reach some agreement as basis for action Even if Republican leaders do not determine to act, it is certain that Messrs. Crumpacker of Indiana and Olm- stead of Pennsylvania and quite num- Der of other Republicans of prominence will agitate the question
 Republicans Must Get Busy.
 MT. Babcock, the chairman of the Re- publican Congressional Committee, thinks that the Republicans. can no longer be complacent while the disfranchisement policy becomes more popular. He seems to think that West Virginia and Ken lucky might follow the example set of Louisiana and Mississippi and followed be North and South Carolina and Mary land and now proposed to be followed by Alabama. In this way there is danger, in his opinion, that a minority might InWaTI the VIII Ol lie HdJOIilt AS ldt as West Virginia is concerned the only possibility of West Virginia's pursuing such tactics wocld come should the State in an off year elect Democratic Legis- lature.
 MT. Babcock says that with the solid South at their back, reinforced by Ken lucky, Maryland and possibly West Vir- Rinia- the Democrats would go into every Congressional election with an over whelming advantage, having an assured portion of the whole number practically elected They would, then, only have to elect in doubtful districts, where the vote is close, by concentrating all their ener- gies there, and thus carry the House ev- ey time It seems to me-" added Mir. Bab- cock, that the effect of the Maryland legislation will be to hasten the proposed legislation in Congress looking to the limitation of the representation, as pro vided by the constitution, of those States that disfranchiss the negro"

Busbv Bros Big COMPANY

in that representative temperance
drama "Ten Nights in a Bar Room"
at city hall, Wednesday evening, Jan.
l, 1902. This beautiful drama depicts
a series of truthful scenes in the
course of a drunkard's life, some of
them are touching in the extreme, and
and some are dark and terrible. Step
by step is portrayed the downward
course of the tempting vendor and the
infatuated victim until both are in
volved in helpless ruin. The play is
marred by no exageratiOns, but ex-
hibits the actualities of life with Sc
we're simplicity and adherence to truth
that gives every picture a photo
graphic vividness. The large audi
ences seem to be in full sympathy
with the moral of the story, and laugh
at Sample Switched, sympathize with
Joe Morgan and weep at the death OF
little Mary.

WELSH TONGUE in AMERICA.
Expectations Are That IL VIII 60
Down Through Passing of Old
Promoters.

AS far as this country and the Welsh
ire concerned it looks dark and nope
ess. From quarter to a half century
go there arose large number OF ut
srary men and poets in the Ihiiea
States who served the Welsh newspa-
pers and periodicals well and faith
fully. Although some of them could
speak English, Welsh and Welsh liter
iture was their pleasure, which they
fought, night and day, says \ Drych,
Of Utica.
That class of Welshmen is passing
,,yay one by one, and none with liter
arv tendencies arises to take their
place and continue the progress OF
Welsh literature. We can say without
any doubt that the vast majority OF
tbe contributors to the Dryeh to-day
are 40 wears of age and upward, and
many Of the best are over 80. lhere
are but a few young who are treadine
n the footsteps of the fathers. Iht
sast majority of young Welsh people
stand at the dividing line between
Welsh and English, and are rapidly go
mg over to the latter, to be separated
completely in language and splrlt IRON

many of the fathers, who are fai' u

Tt is evident that few besides ord

quency that newspapers are asked &c
state in their columns the distance
that shot or shell may be fired, the
thickness of metal it will pierce, etc.
The new 16-inch breech-loading rifle
recently finished at the Watervliet ar
senal, and which is to remain with the
army exhibit at the Pan-American eN-
position, will no doubt excite the
question among lay people as to
whether such guns could do much dam
age to Manhattan if mounted on Al
enemy's ship oil the harbor. \ table
of ranges and muzzle yelocities Of this
gun, prepared by Lieut.. Col. L. NJ. ln-
gals, shows what it is capable Of do
ing. With As degrees elevation, and
proiectile weighing 2,37o pounds,
given muzzle velocity of 1000 feet
per second, lis effective range would
be l4.9 miles; while, with muzzle We.
locity of 1900 foot seconds, its range
would be "a miles. The table alst
shows distances of travel with other
yelocities, and governed by weight q
charge of powder, but sufficient has
been stated to prove that with the
maximum velocity proiectle coule
be sent nearly twice the distance from

TO PREVENT BURIAL ALIVE
Suggestion of n Life Insurance Man
That May lie Of Considerable
Value,

Several insurance men were talking
lately about new wrinkles in the bust
ness. Il firmly believe" said one, re-
ports the New York Mail and En-
press, that insurance against being
buried alive would pay. 1t is surpris-
ing how many people have a dread
that suspended animation may be mis-
taken for death. | know woman
who has actually made her husband
promise that If he survives her he will
stick a hatpin through her heart be-
fore she is buried to make sure that
no spark of life remains. In certain
parts of Europe they have what are
known as mortuary houses, where the
dead are taken and subjected to vari-
ous tests to make sure that death is
absolutely certain. / believe there is
bill providing for somewhat sim.
| liar course now before the Massachl-
setts Legislature. If such a mortuary
| building is established multitudes oil
people would gladly pay, say, 800 to
be insured in a company that would
| guarantee to make the necessary tests
before burial or cremation"
But suppose the alleged corpse
| should come to life under the treat
ment?" asked listener.
.In that case" said the man wht
had previously spoken, lit ought Il
be worth something to the company.

uren IN manner entirely nn-Welsh.
So, tho expectations are that Welsh
will go down in the United States when
the fathers and mothers go the way OF
all the earth, for crop Of anything
cannot be expected where there has
been no sowing. Many hope and ex-
pect the old language to live by miracle,
as it were, by Divine interference in its
behalf, without realizing the natural
fact that the Welsh must be planted
and watered before progress may be
expected. The Drych, like Apollos
week after week, continues the water
Ing process, but what has not been
planted cannot be watered, for there
is no Paul planting.
