Fastest Boat In the world.

The submarine boat recently built for
the Russian government is supposed to
be the fastest in the world. 1t is claimed
that it will cross the Atlantic ocean in
two and one-half days. The secret of
it's extraordinary speed lies in it's pecu-
liar construction. The secret of the
marvellous success OF Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters lies in the scientific COM
pounding OF the curative properties OF
certain roots and herbs. 1t is a family
medicine and can be relied on in cases of
beIching, fatulency, sick headache, dizzi-
ness, Indigestion and dyspepsia. 1t is
also an excellent appetizer and nerve
strengthener, and as preventive of
malaria. fever and ague it is unequalIed.
Give it a trial, and you will feel its
beneficial effects from the start.

OLD ENGLAND'S TROUBLES.
Fearful Now of q Revolt Among
the Irish.

London, Feb. S-A dispatch TO the
Fail Mall Gazette from Dublin declares
that the firmly rooted belief in influ
entail circles is that nothing short of a
revolution is meant by the United Irish
league and that the advocates of con.
stltutlOnal methods are slowly but sure
~ giving way to the strong ply slcal
force section.
According to the correspondent Lord
Sallsbury's speech of Wednesday last be.
fore the junior constitutional club leads
people to hope that the government has
at last learned the lesson that home rule
can not be killed with kindness and that
the ministry has become aware of the
terrible havoc being worked by the
league throughout Ireland" He adds:
"lrishmen who have Just returned
from the United States aver that no SUD-
port will be given to the disloyal cause
unless the discussions and scenes in per
lament give place to something more
active IN Ireland itself. The American
end OF the campaign is being run by men
who are all OF the same stamp as Finerty,
who recommends dynamite aud rifles.
Young Ireland is being taught to believe
III the coming storm and to openly speak
thereof with enthusiasm. The policy of
kindness has convinced the peasantry
that the reign of the British is almost at
an end, and in truth the British statute
book is already suspended and the court
OF the league is supreme"

HARVEY At THE BAR
The Detective Pleads Not Guilty to
Two Indictments.
HIS BAIL is FIXED AT $4,000
posit, He Hustles for
$4,000.

George A. Harvey, inspector on the po-
lice force with the rank Of captain, was
arraigned before Judge Simpson this noon
on two charges. felony and taking unlaw.
full fees. Permission was given to with-
hold his plea until he secures an at
torney. In the perjury case his bail was
fixed at $4,000, but the cash bail raised By
the saloon men will be allowed to stand
on the filing of a new bond. In the second
case bail was fixed at $4,000 and, being Of
a minor character. there will probably be
little trouble in securing it. The liquor
interests are expected to come to the aid
of the inspector.
Both indictments ere based on the evi.
dence OF Peter Burg at the Norbeck trial.
1t is charged that Harvey's testimony
that he tried In every way possible to
locate the Joints in which Burg had lost
his check for S275, that he tried to dis-
cover the swindlers and that Burg abso-
lutely refused to prosecute, was false.
He is accused in the other indictment Of
accepting $40 for recovering Burg's check,
which the latter lost in the big mitt''
game OF Stud" at 80 Sixth street S.

HIS POLICY COSTLY
Ames' Police Regime Hasn't Full
filled Promises of Economy.
HIGH SALARIES FOR FAvoRITEs
Heaviest Drain on Depart
ment Funds.

The disastrous effects of Mayor Ames'
policy of keeping the police department
filled to the legal limit and of his system
of high rank for his favorites is told by
the epexnses of the department for the
first half of the year presented to the po-
lice committee of the council to-day.
These figures show that the police pay
roll for 1902 will take every cent of the
$225,000 appropriation for all purposes,
and probably more. Necessarily the ex-
pense in all other lines will have to be
paid from next years account and carried
over as deficit. >
In 1S91a the police salary account was
$212,722. The amount steadily decreased un-
til in 1899, it was s201, ,s45. The next year
there was an increase of $1,000 in the salary
account. In January, 1901, Mayor Ames an
nounced that he would give the city fine
example of economy. He has done 1t. The
police pay roll for 1901 was $207, ,476, an in
crease of $1,000 over the year before. For
the past six months the pay roll was $117,-
SIG: Secretary Thomas R. Brown says there
will be some reduction in the pay roll for the
second half of the year., and places the
salary account at s1oS,o00, making total OF
$225, 900 for the year. -
The current expense, exclusive of pay roll
for the first six months, was $6,022, and Sec
retary Brown estimates that the total for tht
year will not exceed $500, Of which $2,00(
represents VI deficit carried over. The total
in 1896 was $13,0s7, and in 19OO.it was $S,13s

Washington, June Ex-senator Clapp

had interviews with Secretary Root,
Quartermaster General Ludington and
General Randolph, chief of artillery, rel-
ative to work to be done at Fort Smelling,
and ordering two batteries of artillery
there In the near future. Secretary Root
was favorably impressed. He could not,
however, make definite promises until he
had the whole comprehensive plan of i'm
provements at all posts in the country
before him In discussing the matter
Representative Fletcher said:
Our interview was very satisfactory. Seere-
tary Root is evidently suppressed with the
advantages OF Fort Smelling as permanent
military post, and L fell sure that he will
authorize the expenditure OF between $3.50. coo
and 1900, 900 there this summer. His action
will be based largely on the report OF Quar-
terInaster General Ludington. That ofioee
has already approved plans for the eonstruc-
tion Of numerous buildings, and all other
efncers of his department who have eharge
of construction work are favorable to these
plans.
Adputant General Gorbin told us that as soon
a. they were assured that suitable quarters
are to be provided, the two batteries OF artil-
lery will be ordered to the fort, and hrst-
class post is assured.
