Too Busy for Politics.

W. R. Taylor, of Indianapolis, one o
the leading lawyers of Indiana. is a
the New Willard He is here to argue
in the United States Supreme Court the
case OF the Indiana Manufacturing Com
pany against the State and county ia,
office of Indiana, and also to make sew
era1 motions in other cases. Speaking
OF the political situation in the Hoosier
State. Mr.. Taylor said the people were
too busily engaged to attend political
meetings.
II never knew anything like 1t be-
FORE" said he last evening. I'VE don't
have the crowds that marked the meet
ings Of 1896 and 1900. The Republican
speakers have small audiences, while
the Democratic speakers practically
have no one to hear them. This is the
first campaign in the State that I recall
when the Democrats had no speakers
from headquarters. The Democratic
speakers this time speak in their dis
tricts. The Republicans will carry the
State in November by $4,000 majority,
and will elect nine Representatives. with
strong probability of gaining one in the
Fort Wayne district.
"One of the best campaigners that has
visited Indiana recently is Secretary
the stump he sets the people wild with
enthusiasm" Mr.. Taylor says the Re-
publicans will undoubtedly carry the
Legislature. which insures the return OF
Senator Fairbanks for another term.

BACHELOR DEGREES HELD

Edward NJ. Gallaudet, president of the
Columbia Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, says in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior that there are
over 200 pupils on the rolls.
OF these 1856 are in the college de-
partment, representing twenty eight
States, the District of Columbia, Cana
da. and Ireland. and sixtyfour in the
primary department. President Gallau-
det says that three OF the graduates of
the college were awarded the degree OF
bachelor of science in June last. and
two of them are now continuing their
technical studies in other institutions.
Mr.. GallauGet recommends that f fund
be secured for the assistance of such
graduates in pursuing higher branches
of study.
The report says that an akoulalion is
now In use at the institution, and that
this instrument. with a graphophone at
tachment, and combining the principles
of the microphone and telephone, ena
bles many deaf people, who can hear no
ordinary sounds. to enjoy music and to
distinguish between some of the differ
ent sounds employed in speech.
There has not been sufficient time to
determine whether those who have only
enough hearing to distinguish a few
sounds can be trained SO as to under
stand words and sentences. but this year
exhaustive efforts will be made to settle
all doubt on the subject.

A Composite Weapon.
The War Department has spent over a
year in testing and constructing field
guns of various patterns, among which
was the now famous fed gun of France,
the secret mechanism o which is said to
have been discovered by Capt. l. N.
Lewis, of the artillery corps. AS a re-
suit of these tests clmposite gun has

PAYMASTER SULLIVAN
UNFIT FOR PROMOTION
Probable That the Naval Examining
Board Will Recommend His
Retirement.

The record in the case of Paymaster
John Clyde Sullivan, of the Navy, found
disqualified for promotion to the grade
of pay inspector. was referred back to
the Navy Department yesterday by the
President. with directions to advise him
what action he should take in the mat
ter. An examining board reported that
Paymaster Sullivan was unfit for pro-
motion on mental. physical and moral
grounds.
The moral disqualification was based
on the charge that he had not paid his
debts. Nine years ago Paymaster Sui
livan was dismissed from the navy after
conviction by court-martial on the
charge of embezzlement. but in 1899 he
was restored to the service by act of
Congress. In view of the examining
boards statement that he is mentally
untitled for his duties. 1t is probable
that the Navy Department will recon-
mend that he be placed on the retired
list on three-fourths pay. instead Of be-
ing dropped from the service.

CHAT HEARD IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.
Democrats in New Jer,ey.

I'VE will not only hold our own in the
State. but will gain an additional mem
ber or, two said Representative. Allen
L. McDermott of New Jersey, at the Ra-
leigh, last evening. YThe Republicans
can't longer ignore the tariff. The
West will not be satisfied with the
promise OF revision. And even In Massa-
chusetts there is demand for a re-
duction Of tariff duties The Republicans
had the opportunity last session to re-
wise the tariff and give relief to the peo-
pie, but they refused to do anything.
And as this is the first chance for the
people to be heard on the subject they
will, in my opinion. give the Democrats
control Of the next House of Represen-
tatives.
N Iour people do not like the idea OF
our protected manufacturers selling
their products abroad from 20 to 80 per
cent cheaper than the same products are
sold to consumers in the United States"

Commenting upon the appointment OF
NJ j. j. Jusserand as French ambassa-
dor to Washington. the Nation said:
The selection Of NJ. J. j. Jusserand as
successor to Ambassador Cambon' at
Washington IS in every way happy one.
NJ. Jdsser4nd has been long in the dfplo-
matte service. and represents the best
traditions of the French foreign ofice.
He is also an accomplished litterateur,
the master Of an eloquent English style.
and the author of many learned and de-
lightful books on English literature and
antiquities. It is these extra-diplomatic
qualifications which will make his in
cumbency at Washington notable. His
appointment constitutes a recognition Of
the strong and unceasing comfy between
French and American scholarship. Per-
sonally, he will merit, and will undoubt-
edlxGAeoafyes the kind.-of welcome that
England has given to the long line OF
literary American ambassadors at tie
court Of st. James. 1t is most grace
full sequel to the Rochambeau centenary
to send us a man who combines In him
self so much that is admirable in French
diplomacy, scholarship and letters, and
the news that NJ. Jusserand, now at
Copenhagen, consents to suspend his
Scandinavian studies in favor of the
American embassy will be heartily well
coined"

replied emphatically that 1t would not.
He was surprised to know that any
Democrat would be willing for the party

BOILER EXPLODED.
Maiden Y. M. c. A. Building Damaged
by Bursting Boiler.

Maiden, Feb. "A castiron boiler in the
basement of the Y. M. e. A. building in
this city exploded at 1915 +. NJ, Satur-
day, and wrecked the basement and first
floor of the new building.
The basement and entire first floor of
the building were wrecked and portions
distance. Every window in the Y. NJ. =.
A. building was broken. also the win
dows of the court house opposite and in
many other buildings In the vicinity.
The stocks of M. j. Enright, fancy
goods, and Lille Murray, millinery, on
the first floor of the Y. NJ. c. A. building
were badly damaged. The gymnasium
apparatus in the basement was also
ruined.
A class of 80 boys who had been prac-
ticing in the gymnasium left the building
only five minutes before the accident.
The explosion shook the city very heav
lily and the fire department was called
out but other than keeping the. great
crowd in check there was nothing for
them to do.
The damage will not be as great as
was at first supposed. because of the fact
that the fire did not follow the bursting
of the boiler.
Miss Murray estimates her loss at $50,
with no insurance: Miss Enright loses
5000, while the loss on the building is
estimated at $3.50.
The Maiden Trust Co, also a tenant,
escaped with no damage.
The building is one of the finest of the
Y. NJ. c. a. in the state, and cost about
so 600
