PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
COUNSELS HARMONI
Believes That She People and Not
The Bosses, Should Rule in
Delaware

A party of Delawareans, consisting Of
number Of Dover gentlemen, plloted by
Congressman BAH. called upon President
Roosevelt yesterday, and talked over
general matters, including Delaware poll
Tics.
The President was very frank and open
ln his remarks and intimated that the
present political differences between the
Republican factions should be settled by
the people, and the political bosses and
dctators be lcft out of consideration
Said he: II am very much Interested in
Delaware. I am doing an I can to close
the breach between the Republicans OF
the little state. and 7 hope and trust that
you are. After an. the success of the Re
publican party On the future must depend
upon the contentment Of the people. and
the people must be consulted" Congress-
man Ball added: 1T will be far better
for us n we go ahead and elect Repub-
llcan Legislature. and then let IT fight out
the question OF who shall bo our SEN.
niors."
II T. thought by many that this Is the
only safe ground, since IN republican
form OF government the people are su-
rreme. A prominent Republican discuss
ing the reported interview this morning
remarked
''rhe President takes the exact attitude
Of tho Regular Republicans Of this state.
They have made their fight over the right
of the people TO make free choice OF
their representatives. in office"
"Addicks introduced the principle of de-
flying the popular wish by refusing to
abide by a decision Of a majority. The
dniculty now Is 20 secure an honest ex.
precision OF the people. since the convic-
Hions Of so many have been estranged by
khe use OF a 'persuader' peculiar 10 Ad
dicks.
You must not forget" said he. "thaf
Addicks defed the idea of majority rui
until by manipulation he considered him
self able TO control that majority
Whether he Is correct remains to be seen
but 20 call a majority made mp of pur
chased votes, the voice Of The people
would be playing with terms
Among those in the party were. Con
gresham J.. Helsler BAH. Andrew b
Jones and Charles y. Woods, OF Whining

crank in English prisons is now accom-
plished fact. 1t was Sir w. Cubitt who
about 1870 devoted his engineering talents
to the perfecting of the first of these penal
contrivances, the very sight of which filed
even the most hardened criminal with dis
may. BY the prison act of 1865 every male
prisoner over sixteen, sentenced to hard
labor, was ordered to undergo three months
OF labor of the first-cass, which included
the use of the tread-wheel and the crank;
but In 1877 the period was reduced to
month. The tread-wheel was q hollow CYL
inder of wood, with steps about eight
inches apart on its outer circumference
working on an axle. Each wheel had the
honor OF a separate compartment to itself
In order to prevent intercourse between
prisoners. The work resembled the con-
tinuous ascent Of a fight of steps under
dlfhculties. The normal speed was at the
rate OF thirty-tWo feet a minute so that
allowing for six hours treading a day
with stated intervals for rest, the prisoner
had climbed over 5000 feet at the end of
his SPELL And there was no view to reward
him at the top.
The crank. on the other hand. could te
worked In the prisoners own cell 1t le-
sembled the process of raising a bucket
from well by means of a handle the re-
sistance being derived either from a brake
htted on the wheel. which was revolved by
.he handle, or from machinery applied to
grinding corn, pumping water or some
SUCH other purpose. The pressure on the
wheel was, as far possible, limited to
twelve pounds, and the prisoner had to
make in six hours 5000 or 10000 revolu-
lions. according to his strength. There was
no way of lodging the work for the num-
Der of revolutions recorded on an IN
fallibe dial. There can be no doubt that
both the tread-wheel and the crank came
pretty near to being Instruments of torture
ana 1t is curious comment on our vaunt-
ed civilization that the proposal to abolish
them evoked the bitterest opposition.

OIL AS FUEL IN HOMES
Used as Substitute for Coal in San
Francisco Dwellings.

From the New York Tribune.
OIL as substitute for coal has been used
extensively for years on the Pacific coast,
and in the last year 1t Is said to have taken
the place Of coal In 1000 homes In San
francisco. 1t is proposed to introduce the
use of oil as substitute for coal in the
homes of New Workers.. A company formed
for the purpose will begin operations next
week. The oil used in San Francisco for
locomotives, steamboats, and restaurants IS
the crude oil, as it comes out of the earth
The oil used for the houses in San Fran
cisco is the result of distillation after the
light gases have been taken off. The oil is
said to have a flash test of 10 degrees,
about equal to that of kerosene.
For an ordinary kitchen range, with a
storage of fifteen gallons of oil the instaIla-
ton can be made for S15, and for the larger
ranges, with storage of fifty gallons. the
installation will cost sf5. For furnaces
with storage capacity of 300 gallons of
OIL equal to two and one-half tons of coal
the installation will cost about 800 II is
estimated that 1t requires from 100 to 12O
gallons of oil to equal ton of anthracite
The saving in the use of oil compared
with coal is said to be about 80 per cent
That Is guaranteed by the company. A
Tribune reporter was informed yesterday
that the Standard Oil Company had agreed
to contract for year for the lighter oil for
ranges and stoves at the rate of cents
gallon, delivered, and coarser oil for fur
naces at the rate of 3 cents a gallon de-
livered.
The insurance phase of the of oil in
houses is important, five gallons is the
limit of storage allowed by insurance COM
panies. 1t was said yesterday that the ma
tional board of underwriters would take up
the subject for action tomorrow, as by that
time important data would have arrived
from California. Dealers in oil say that
the demand for kerosene oil stoves for
cooking and heating purposes has increased
greatly within the last week or two. That
the crude oil which has been discovered in
Texas and California is as safe as coal for
use as fuel, and can be safely stored is
the opinion of Elijah r. Kennedy. Mr.
Kennedy who is interested in manufac-
turing plant using oil under it's boilers, said
yesterday: Fuel oil If stored under rules
prescribed by the fire underwriters is as
safe as coal. The only difficulty there can
be to storing it in quantities in the city will
be the cramped cellars. One would not care
to place a tank of oil close alongside the
furnace"
