Novel Method Adopted to Work On
Broken Propeller. f

Honolulu, March 19.-The army
transport Warren is ready for sea
again and starts on her way to Manila,
having been repaired by an ingenious
method. AS there is no drydock into
which she could be placed so that her
broken propeller would be out Of
water, it was decided to raise her
stern, by heaping weights on her for
ward deck, and tightening her aft.
The vessel was then tilted up so that
her propeller was out of the water
and the broken blade was repaired.
A number of alarming rumors about
her condition have been current in
Honolulu, one being her boilers were
unfit for use. Chief Engineer Phil
lips of the Warren and the first as
sistent resigned, owing to difficulties
with Depot Quartermaster Williamson
of Honolulu as to repairs to be made
on the machinery of the vessel.

followed the same vocation in this

Ohlmstead, whether rightfully or
not lis given a hard reputation by the
game wardens and people in the sec

say that he made his boasts that if
any officers sought to interfere with
him he had a good Sharp rife and
knew how to use it. He had no oppor-
tunity, however, to make good his
boasts, as the officers caught him
away from his cabin and he was arm
ed only with a big knife, which he
did not attempt to use as Aware had
the drop on him with a large and in
fuential member of the Colt family
The man saw the officers approach
ing and ran into a house, where he
left a sack, telling a woman whom
he almost knocked over in his frantic
efforts to gain admission to take care
of the sack for Gods sake" After
his arrest he was taken to the house
and the sack vas found to contain a

The Republican leaders at Washing

Democratic members of congress have
been exposing the shortcomings Of the
administration with telling effect.
So greatly alarmed are the Republi-
cans that they appealed to President

coming congressional campaign. 1t is

lie occasiona in response to invitations

ing the stump and going to the res
cue of his party.
The developments IN the Philippines
which have been thoroughly aired by
Democratic members of congress, who
have also exposed Republican trust
methods, have done much towards dis
creditIng the party in power. The
leaders appear to be helpless IN their
efforts to stem the popular tide in favor
of Democracy.
Unable to defend their acts, the Re-
publican leaders intend to force the
president of the United States into the
political campaign. HIS influence as
chief executive of the nation is to be
exerted in the doubtful congressional
districts. The dignity of the office is to
be surrendered, and during the last
month of the campaign the president is
to be converted into stump speaker.
A political party that will use the
president of the United States for such
purpose will not be endorsed by the
people.-Rome Tribune.

CHANCELLOR HILL IN POLITICS

The sensation of the day in Georgia
politics is card published by Query
headquarters in which Chancellor Wal
ter B. Hill, of the University of Geor-
gia, plays q prominent part. A man
named Dunn, il McDutfie county,
wrote letter to Hon. Warner Hill,
chairman of the Terrell campaign, ask
ing for a reduced rate on the railroad
to Atlanta BY some mistake, the pos
tai authorities sent The letter to Cham
ceIIor Walter b. Hill, of the University
of Georgia, at Athens, and he, instead of
returning it to Warner Hill, for whom
it was intended, no doubt, sent it to S.
@. Tapp, Guerry's manager in Atlanta.
Friends of Chancellor Hill, in Atlanta,
claim that they are surprised and say
further that they think he should have
sent the communication to Mr.. Warner
Hill, for whom it was intended; that it
was Warner Hills letter, and whether
Mr.. Warner Hill could have secured
a rate or not, it was his affair.
