NOVEL INVENTION.

Demonstration of Value of
the Appliance.

London, Oct. pa demonstration
of the efficiency Of a novel life-sav-
ing invention has taken place in the
English channel.
About four miles off Folkestone a
tug sighted a strange object in the
water. Upon coming nearer, it was
found to be a large globe. From a
man-hole on the top a mans head pro-
jected. The tug went alongside ana
two men emerged from the globe.
They proved to be the inventor and
his assistant, both Norwegians.
According to their story, the globe,
which is composed of aluminium, was
put overheard from a steamer off
Havre, and since that time it had
been knocking about the channel
with its two occupants.
The inventor claims that it sat
isfied all requirements and expecta-
tons and demonstrated it's service
ability for saving lives at sea.
The tug towed the. curious craft to

GENERAL BELL SUCCEEDED BY
GENERAL LEE.
ASK FOR A vACRANCY ACT
Presidentes of Cavite Want Law for
Punishment of Ladrones and
DissoIute Americans.

Manila, Oct. 23.-General J. Frank.
lin Bell will be relieved of the forces
in Batangas province December FL.
He will be succeeded by General Lee.
General Bell purposes returning
home via Europe and will stop at
Carlsbad, Austria, to take treatment,
as his health is not good.
General Davis has issued an order
of officers and men of the army in
the matter of dress and discipline,
and characterizing the neglect in
these respects as extraordinary.
The .order also refers specifically
to the carelessness in making reports
and drawing up other records, and di-
reefs commanding officers to insist
upon reform of all existing shortcom-
ings.
Governor Taft discussed the sup
preston of ladronism in Cavite at a
conference yesterday held with the
presidentes of % towns of Cavite
province. He told the assembled
presidentes that they and their peo-
pie must unite and work for the sup
preston and punishment of crime.
The presidentes promised to organ
ize volunteers for this purpose in each
town. They asked Governor Taft to
secure the passage Of a vagrancy act
that would reach ladrones and disso-
lutte Americans and foreigners.
Many discharged soldiers and other
foreigners make their homes with the
natives and the influence Of these
men is often bad. The government
has been asked to secure deportation
of such persons, but up to the present
time it has no means of dealing with
them.
Governor Taft promised the presi-
denies to draw up a vagrancy bill COW
ering these conditions.
The bureau of insular affairs of the
wal department has made public the
following report Of Simon Luse, gov
ernor of Batangas province, which
was submitted to Governor Taft under
date of September s, 1902:
Il have just returned from a 80
days trip through every municipality.
There is absolute peace in the prov
ince, and almost all the inhabitants
hearth accept American sovereignty.
"On every hand l found the inhabi-
tants engaged in peaceful pursuits
and making every effort to re-establish
their former prosperous condition.

More of China.

More Of China.
: Paris, Oct. 23.-From authoritative
sources the correspondent Of the AS
sociate Press has learned that France,
Great Britain and Germany have on
cluded an agreement providing for
the military evacuation Of Shanghai
by their forces.
The negotiations have also brought
about an important extension o. the
open door policy as urged by Secre-
tary Hay.
The agreement affects not only
Shanghai, but the entire iargtse
valley, which the powers are
seeking to develop for commercial
purposes. The date of the evacuation
is still open, but a leading official Of
the foreign Office expressed the belief
that it will undoubtedly be accom-.
plished by January /. About 1000
troops will participate in the evacua-
ton.

The legislature at it's last session,
passed law to the effect that city
officers should serve two years. The
law applies to cities Of the second,
third and fourth class, and to officers
other than aldermen in cities governed
by special charter. The law seems
applicable to this city, for although
we act under a special charter that
provides for the election of city Off

1t is noticeable that the people in
the northern part Of the state are
strenuously opposed to the game laws
as now administered. These laws do
not seem to be popular except among
professional sportsmen. The settlers
in the wooded part Of the state ex-
press the wish that the big game may
be speedily exterminated, for in no
other way will they be freed from the
annoyance and danger from city hunt
ers. The owners of lands, settlers in
the north part Of the state, have a
favoring provision in the law that
permits them to put up notices on
their lands forbidding trespass, pro-
vision that may be used by them for
their protection against hunters.
