Atkins is in Full Control.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 25.-The
kerens men lost much ground to-
night when The new Republican Coun-

Walter S. Dickey, II member of the
State Executive Committee and until
last Saturday chairman of the Coun-

Dickey's lieutenant, Alderman

MORE COALING STATIONS.
Naval ofhcials Anxious TO secure Fa-
ciIitles at Chez Foo In North
ern China.

Rear Admiral Bradford, chief of the
bureau of equipment. is conducting ne
gotiations looking toward the estab
iishment of a coaling station at Che
Foo, in northern China. He has long
and persistely urged the necessity of
one there.
Since the secretary of the navy has
decided to strengthen the ASiatic
station, and inasmuch as a squadron
Toay be organized for service in Chi
nese and Japanese waters. it has be-
come evident that the United States
should have station in China. There
is already coaling station in Japan.
The one in Manila has a capacity of
$4,000 tons, that at Guam 5000 tons,
and the one at Honolulu 10000 tons.
The proposed coaling station at che
Foo will afford a convenient coaling
point for vessels in northern Chinese
waters. by the time Rear Admiral
Bradford has completed his plans the
Pacific will he plentifully dotted with
N'N''"- H'HN'h>s S' lNNl no NdTSui1
will have to make an extremely long
trip to get fuel.
The matter Of the selection of coal
ing stations on the isthmus of Panama
is held in allegiance pending the as
sumption of more definite shape to the
canal negotiations now being pushed
by the departments of state and JUS
tice. Admiral Bradford is preparing
plans for coalng station to be estab-
lished at San Diego, Cal, one of the
most important strategic points on
the Pacific coast. 1t will have capac-
ity of $4,000 tons, although only about
half that much will be kept there. As
soon as the attorney general decides
that the government is the owner of
Mission island In San Francisco bay
and he is confidently expected to make
a decision to that effect-Rear Adj
miral Bradford will order the building
of a sea wall and the equipping Of a
coal station with a capacity of 100, 900
tons. Warships will then be able to
coal with sufficient fuel to last all the
way to the Philippines.

What a Jealous Wife Found.

A Fayette woman, according to
the Salisbury Press-SPeetater, sas-
pected that her husband was in the
\habit OF kissing the hired girl and re-
Slved to detect him in ire act. Sat-
ufday night she saw him pass quiet
ly into the kitchen. The hired girl
was out and the kitchen was dark.
The Jealous wife took a few matches
in her hand, and hastily placing a
shawl over her head, as the hiredgirl
often did, entered the back door, and
Immediately she was seized and kiss
ed and embraced in an ardent man.
ner. With heart almost bursting, the
wife prepared to administer terrible
rebuke to the faithless spouse, and
tearing herself away from his fond
embrace, she struck a match and
stood face to face with-the hired
man.

FELL OVER STEEP PRECIPICE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Porter, Of St. Louis,
Landed Safely on Rock Ledge
---H0rSe Killed.

Post-Dispatch.
DR.. and Mrs. s. S. Porter, who are
now visiting their son, Attorney V
Mott Porter, OF 1884 Washington
boulevard, had, during their recent
journey in Colorado, an adventure
which, if it were reproduced:in move
or melodrama, would be pronounced
impossible and absurd.
A "locoed" horse which a careless
liveryman had furnished to DR.. Por
ter and his wife, fell over a STEEP pre-.
cipice, carrying the buggy with him
The occupants of the buggy went
over the precipice together, and both
were caught on a projecting ledge OIL
rock, where, uniniured, they could
look far below them and see the dead
horse and the wrecked buggy in the
top Of a tall pine.
II closed my eyes as we went over
the edge of the cliff" said Mrs. Por-
ter, in describing her experience. 81
said to myself, This is death. But
almost before | had started to fall, it
seemed, my body struck the project
ing ledge OF rock. When | opened
my eyes, | saw that the doctor had
also fallen on the same projection
and that we had fallen at least thir-
ty-five feet below the roadway. We
were both bruised and bleeding and
the doctor was stunned, but, strange
to say, no bones were broken.
ave were rescued by men passing
down the mountain and were taken
to cabin, where We could get only
whisky.
"The horse which fell over the pre-
cipice with US was, as we learned, a
1ocoed animal, which had contract
ed a disease common in that section
from eating the loco plant. This
causes animals to become wheezy and
finally to have fits. The miners ex-
pressed a wish to lynch the livery
man for renting the animal to us,
but we dissuaded them"

2s Girls Fall in Elevator.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 27.-An
elevator at the Emery, Bird & Thay-

women employees, fell three stories at
noon today. A dozen girls were in
iured, but, with the exception of
Emma Parish, aged Is, who was
hurt internally and who~was uncon.
scious when removed to her home, it
is believed that none was seriously
hurt. Some tainted and for a time
it was thought several Of them had
been killed. The elevator is usually
used for freight, but at the time the
girls were being carried to the top
floor for luncheon. 1t was loaded to

MAY REQUIRE SEA SERVICE.
Congress May he Asked to Pass Act
Compelling Naval Officers to
Perform Active Duty.

Naval officers of the line have sug-
gested To Secretary Moody that he
recommend to congress the passage
of law providing that naval officers
should spend a minimum length of
time at sea before they are promot-
ed. Mr.. Moody has the subject under
serious cons deration, and inasmuch
as it offers an opportunity To get rid
of the obnoxious social pull which
some officers use to avoid sea duty.
he is inclined to regard it favorably.
AS discussed now, the law would
stipulate that each officer should
spend certain time at sea during
his incumbency of each grade. Junior
officers would doubtless have to serve
much longer at sea than officers of
command rank.
Secretary Moody called upon Capt.
Sigsbee, of the office of naval intel
ligence, for information as to the
policy followed by other nations in
this direction. He was informed that
the United States was about the only
great naval power which did not have
a law providing that naval officers
should perform certain amount of
sea service each year. In Great Brit
ain the law is sometimes worked
arbitrarily. If it is seen that an Of
ficer will never amount to much he
is not assigned to sea service, thus
losing his chance of promotion.

PUSHES SPACE TELEGRApHY.
United. states Government Doing II.
Best to Promote the Wire
less system.

The experiments conducted by the
United States coast and geodetic
survey at the Marconi station at
Sagaponack on the south shore of
Long Island are still under way, but
so delicate are they and so infinite
the calculations that it will be some
time before they are completed and
a detailed report made to the gov.
eminent.
The feasibility of utilizing wireless
telegraphy for the determination of
longitude was demonstrated first by
government tests at the Marconi sta
ton on Nantucket island, at which
time the ticking of a chronometer
was transmitted so miles. Since then
the process has been so improved
that the chronometer beats off its
own time.
The early results Indicated new
field of usefulness for wireless teleg-
raphy in regions like Alaska, where
telegraph lines are few and yet where
numerous longitudes must be deter
mined for the purpose of accurately
chartering the vast extent of coast
line. Richard Pfund is on his way
to Alaska to superintend the install
lation of stations between Fort Glib
bon and Bates Rapids for the United
States signal corps.
The navy department is consider
ing plans for wireless telegraph
system in San Francisco harbor.
where the signal corps of the army
already has a system in operation.
Experiments are also to be made be-
tween Washington and Annapolis.
Nearly all the large vessels of the
navy have been provided with extend
ed masts for wireless telegraph tests.

ARMY SERVICE IN FRANCE.
Strenuous Opposition BEING Raised
to the Bill Proposing Reduce
tiOn of the Term,

More than passing interest has been
created at Paris over the bill reducing
compulsory military service from
three years to two. One of the most
vigorous opponents of the measure il
the veteran Marquis de Ga1ifet. He
says that the proposal terrified even 50
bold minister as VI. Waldeck-Rous.

ought not to be taken without careful
experiment. In the first place 10000
or 10000 well-trained noncommis.
stoned officers and privates ought to
be reenlisted annually for several
years while the short-period idea is
being tried, before any bill is adopted
definitely. The marquis holds that it
would be impossible to animal tie troops
with the true military spirit in so
short time as two years.
NJ. De Goulaine and other speakers
also insisted that any moral training
OF the soldier would be impossible un-
der the two-year system. and that IL
was the old armies which had accom-.
plished the most heroic exploits. NJ.
Mezieres pointed out that Germany,
which has glut of men. was careful
not to reduce the term of service until
the permanent element of her army
had been strengthened immensely by
the reenlistment Of a very large num-
Der OF noncommissioned officers and
men. Others advocated the establish.
ment of a substantial nucleus of five
year men.
