 Washington, March 9,-(Special,)-"What is to be the outcome of the differences between Senator Platt and Governor Odell? Governor Odell has succeeded in preventing any legislation looking to the control of the police force of New York. by the Republicans but what of the fu- ture? Is Senator Platt vindictively to try to destroy his former chief lieutenant, be- cause he cannot boss him? Or does the recent disagreement between the two mean the beginning of the end of Senator Platt's leadership in New York State?"
 These are questions that are being dis cussed in Washington, where the promi- hence of Senator Platt in national af- fairs and the possibilities of Governor Odell as a national quantity are natur- ally studied. Senator Platt has his friends and so has Governor Odell. But some of Senator Platt's friends believe that from 8 party standpoint Governor Odell was wiser than the "easy boss holding that interference with New York Citys local affairs by the State would be resented bitterly by New York people, and give the Tammany organization such strength as to overcome its unpopularity because of it's friendliness to vice.

TESTED CHEMICAL ENGINE.
Council Witnessed the Trial and Ap.
proved the Apparatus.

The new chemical engine was test.
ed last Thursday on Second street be-
fore large number OF people and
proved very satisfactory. A large
pile Of boxes covered with straw, pa
pers and other combustible material,
the whole saturated with several
gallons OF oil, was set on fire and
when well burning the chemical
stream was turned on. In 20 seconds
the flame was all down and heat all
gone. This was repeated several
times and each time proved the efli-
cheney of the engine and the ease and
quickness with which it can be han
died.
The engine is fine piece Of work
made BY the Fire Extinguisher Mig.
Go. Of Chicago and fully guaranteed.
1t holds 100 gallons of chemicals,
each gallon of which is equal to 40 to
so gallons Of water. With this sys-
TEN the fire is destroyed by destroy
ing the oxygen. Very little fluid is
used The chemical or gas does the
work, thus saving large water loss,
which nearly always occurs when
water is used. 1t can be used instant
ly and outside of the waterworks
limits Of the city as we'll as inside,
thus giving protection to all in the
city.
Those who saw the test made last
evening are satisfied that the mill
burned here on July A (Which was
loss Of $4,000 or more) might have
been saved with this engine because
it could have been used before the
fire reached large proportions.
The city council is to be congratu-
lated on thus putting in permanent
improvement which our city will al
ways need. The engine cost 5000,
fully equipped, and will last many
years, at an average cost to the city
OF not more than sS5 per year, which
is much less than We are now paying
for one hydraut rental. 1t can be re-
charged in two or three minutes and
always carries three charges Of chem
icals. The cost Of each charge is
about $3.50. The chemical is as
harmless as water.
The council met after the test, ap-
proved the engine and paid for it.

CONGRESSMAN OyERS1UEE1'S BILL.
The Indiana Representative Wants Silver
interchangeable with Gold - Senator
Frye's Ship Subsidy Bill-An A. r.
Of L. Agent to Go to Porto RlcU.

Washington, Oct. 15,--President
Roosevelt is devoting considerable
time to investigating immigration
conditions and yesterday consulted
Assistant Secretary Taylor and Com
missioner Of Labor Carroll D. Wright
upon the subject.
Representative Ovcrstreet, Of In
diana, who Is much interested in the
enactment Of law which will make
silver exchangeable with gold, be-
leying, he says, that such law would
forever end the "battle of stand
ards" talked with President Roose-

congress, but II was not acted upon.
He will reintroduce II at the coming
session and hopes for favorable ac-
tion.
Among others who saw the presi-
dent yesterday was Senator Frye, OF
Maine. The senator talked to the
president about the ship subsidy bill.
Mr. Frye has prepared new bill, but
says he will not give 1t out until II
is introduced at the coming session.
He says he does not want 1t riddled
now by hostile critics, but is willing
to receive friendly suggestions. Sen
ator Frye says he believes that there
is much brighter prospect for .
shipping bill at the coming session
than there was at the last congress.
The whole subject was discussed with
the president by Senator Frye, who
remained at the white house for
luncheon.
President Gompers, Of the Fedora
tion Of Labor, introduced to the presi-
dent Santiago Iglcsias, who Is going
to Porto Rico as the representative
OF the American Federation OF In

of the island into trades unions. Mr.
Gompcrs desired that Gov. Hunt and
other Porto Rican officials be in
formed OF the legitimate character
of Senor Iglcsias mission in order
that he might not be interfered with
The president told Mr.. Gompers that
he believed in the national organiza-
tion of laboring men and that every
right Of scnor lgcsias' would be pro-
eotad -

For the Reflector.
On BOARD S. S. CoLDRlDGE, Sept. l,
i will try to give you de-
scription OF our experience at sea up
to date. We left New York at p.
m. on the goth Of August and at noon
today we have gone S,l7l miles from
Sandy Hook. We will cross the
equator at about 2 p. m. today and
will reach cur first port, Pernambuco,
Brazil, next Tuesday afternoon. We
have a party Of nine and are all en-
joying the best of health with ore ex-
ception, and that is one Of our men
who is always engaged in feeding the
fish. We also have a few mission
aries with us, consequently we are
we'll provided with the gospel, as
well as with n lot OF kids, as the two
families only have nine to their credit,
We have seventeen adults and twelve
children in first cabin or saloon deck
and there is some fifteen steerage
passengers. This Is a mail boat be-
tween New York and Rio de Janeiro,
q branch Of the Lamport and Holt line.
We have seen but three sail and
two steam ships since we left New
York, and but very few whale, SO
consequently IT has been very lone
some trip. We have read everything
we have on board and some OF the
boys are trying to beat old Sol, while
others are engaged at whist in order
to pass the time.
1t has been exceptionally cool, the
thermometer registering S3 at noon
today and we can use covers at night
which Is much better than we exper-
fenced last year on our trip. As we
have seen no late papers there is no
further news. W. A. KERN.
