YOUNG WILL SUCCEED.
He Is to Be Commander of the
United States Army.

81 do not think that 1 am betraying
any confidence when l say thai Major
General S. B. NJ. Young will be the
next lieutenant general of the army"
said Major General Corbin in Wash
ingvOn the other day. Then he added,
"And his promotion will be enjoyed
by no one more than by myself"
Lieutenant General Miles will re-
tire for age next August, and this
statement by General Corbin was in
spired by some comment TO the effect
that the appearance of General Cor
bins name in the monthly army list
next after that of General Miles point
ed out the probable succession. AS a
fact, it is said, the order of the names
in the list was fixed by the seniority of
the commissions of the offices. Cen
eral Young will have about a year to
serve in that grade if he is made lieu
tenant general.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.
There Is Much Joy Among The
Party in Washington.

There is unlimited joy in Demo
cratic circles in Washington over the
harmony which prevails throughout
the party and the prospects that united
effort will not only elect many Demo,
cratic members to the House of Re
representatives. but will cut down the
Republican maiorities all along the
line. Bavid Bennett Hill has returned
to his own and has spoken in the Wig
wan of Tammany Hall. Ex-President
Cleveland has not contented himself
with writing an inspiring letter to the
New York democracy, but promised to
90 on the stump and address an audi
ence at the rally to be held at Morris
town, N. j., in support of Dewitt G.
Flanagan, nominee of the Fifth dis
trict. Mr.. Bryan, according to all re-
ports, is working like a Torjan in
Nebraska and Tom johnson is punctur-
ing the tires of Uncle Hanna's 'Stand
pat" iuggernaut in Ohio.
For many years there has not been
such an exhibition of Democratic har-
mony and the results are bound to be
gratifying.

A BULLET PROOF VEST.
Cloth Invented by Clergyman
WithstoOd Test.

A public test of the bullet proof cloth
invented by the Rev. Casimir Zeglen
of Chicago was made the other after
noon in Brooklyn.
The bullet from a % caliber revolver
flattened itself upon a vest made of the
cloth, says the New York World. A
buAet from a % caliber German pocket
revolver merely made dent in the
vest. A A caliber revolver, which had
sent its bullet through 81 inches of
hardwood, made only a slight depres-
sion. A 3S caliber bullet pierced the
cloth, but it was claimed that it must
have struck a defective spot. Several
other shots fired from the same revolv-
er failed to penetrate it.
The cloth, which the Rev. Mr.. Zeglen
has been working to perfect for over
fifteen years, is made of finely woven
pure silk threads. Mr. Zeglen purposes
to wear a waistcOat of the fabric and
to offer himself as a target.

A DESERT LABRATORY.
Novel Suggestion Made to the
Carnegie Institution.

The Carnegie institution at Wash
ington has received Il novel suggestion
from Professor F. V. Corille chairman
of it's advisory board on botany, who
proposes, in view of the extensive in
vestigations in applied botany now be
ing carried on by the department OF
agriculture and the state experiment
stations, that a desert laboratory be
established, says the New York IT'D
une. 1t is pointed out that no effective
research in this line has been possible,
nor has the project, to the knowledge
of the board, been advocated by other
scientists. If the Carnegie institution
will devote portion of its income TO
the establishment and maintenance or
a botanical laboratory in some section
of the arid region which covers so eN-
tensive an area in the southwest, 1t
will, it is urged make possible a series
of investigations which not only will
add UNNECESSARILY to the practical
knowledge OF botaniStS and agricul-
turists, but which are essential to the
rounding out of many scientific theo-
ries now partially obscure.
Among the questions which a desert
laboratory would make possible of solu-
ton are the effects of varying quantities
of water on plant production, longevity
and the variation of species. The quail
ity of plant products is known to vary
with the quantity of available moisture.
1t is held by certain botaniStS that
proper regulation of moisture supply is
as essential to the production Of high
quality grains as is the proper content
of plant food. In a humid climate,
even where the ground crops are pro
tected from rain, the atmospheric con-
ditions would defeat the end of the
more delicate experiments. Does an
excess supply of water force produc-
ton at the expense of longevity? How
far can the time of ripening and to
what extent can the color, keeping
qualities of fruits, ETC., be affected by
control of the water supply? These are
questions which await solution.
The extent to which the nutritive val
ue of various edible plants may be af-
fected by watering, by watering with
more or less saline water, the possibili-
ty of combining one or more salts, in
themselves injurious, but possibly bene-
fetal in combination, are problems of
great importance, especially in view of
recent federal, legislation providing for
irrigation in the arid regions. 1t is adj
mitted that certain experiments along
these lines have been conducted in lab
oratOries where attempts were made
artiicially to produce arid condition,
but they have done little more than to
demonstrate the futility of attempting
to reproduce the complex conditions Of
outdoor life in the laboratory.
The investigations suggested would
involve the work of botanists, patholo-
gists, chemists psychologists and 9th
ers, and in the opinion of the advisory
board a desert laboratory would fur
nish opportunities which would prompt
ly be taken advantage of by numerous
scientists to the permanent betterment
of the human race.

MORGAN AS BAGGAGEMAN.
Great Financier Looks After Sir
Clinton DaWkinS' Trunks.

j. Pierpont Morgan was one of the
first to grasp the hand of Sir Clinton
Dawkins, K, C. B., head Of the great
London banking house of Morgan &
Co. when the knight arrived in New
York on the Majestic, says the New
York Journal
Sir .Clinton's mission, as he admitted
coming up the bay, is to attend the
meeting that is to witness the closing
of the final negotiations in the great
Morgan ship combine that is to unite
five of the most prominent of the trans
atlantic lines.
Mr.. Morgans interest in Sir Clinton's
arrival took the form of hustling about
the pier to get his luggage together. 1t
was rather new business for the
great financier, but he went at it with
the same vim that would mark a great
financial deal.

Miss Helen Gould has given the use

New York who will be educated at the
village school in ROXbury, n. Y. She
has also agreed to pay the expense of
an additional teacher in this school,

for students to prepare for college
without leaving home. says the New

WI WILL LEAVE.
The Famous Chinaman Is TO Re-
turn to Orient.

Minister WI Ting Fang has not
been advised of the appointment of
Yuen Shi Kai as minister of commerce
of the Chinese empire, although in his
view, such an appointment would not
be unlikely. Yuem Shi Kai is the
viceroy of Chi Ii province. When
the late Ii Hung Chang was the vice.
roy of that province, he also held the
title of minister of commerce. At
that time the title was practically only
honorary, as his manifold duties as
viceroy prevented him from divery at
tention to other matters.
Minister WI, while he says he has
no defoite information, believes 1t
probable that Yuen Shi Kai may have
received the title of minister of com
merce precisely as Ii Hung Chang re-
ceived it.

NEVER SAW A PARDON.
Rule Against Montgomery Coun-
tvs Sheriff Dismissed.

Upon a hearing of the case of the
start against B. E. Higgs, sheriff, on
a rule brought by the state at the in
stance of the governor to relieve the
sheriff of Office because of his failure
to turn over a pardon drawn for the
release of w. B. Freeman, Judge D.
NJ. Roberts dismissed the rule at Mt.
Vernon, Montgomery county, the de-
PENDANT having made showing.
The case is one of interest and much
appeared concerning it month or so
ago. In his answer Sheriff Higgs,
who was represented by Attorneys
Graham & Graham and w. L. Wilson,
stated that Freeman was not in Mont
gomery county when the pardon was
received, but was In Early county,
where he had been sent from the sher-
ifs own county. Sheriff Higgs also
set forth that the pardon was receiv-
ed without any letter of explanation,
and he really did not know that he
was expected to send it to the convict
lessee to effect d release of the prison
err. The pardon was the first he had
ever seen.
He says he kept the paper as mat
ter of record and only learned through
the newspapers that he was expected
to do something else beside keep a
copy of the pardon in his own Office.
He said he had, after reading the sto-
ry in the newspaper, sent the pardon
on and Freeman was set at liberty in
due time. Later, he averted, he had
received notice of the rule against
him. Solicitor General John F. Lacy
represented the state during the hear

saws a special dispatch from Washing
ton TO the New York Times. 1t is
novel thing for the government TO go
into the exhibition of this most enjoy
able flower, and to the unitarian 1t
may seem to be far out of the way TO
cultivate the love of the beautiful when
so much is to be done in pointing the
way to scientific and profitable farm
ing. Yet Secretary Wilson has taken
possibly as much interest in the rails
ing of chrysanthemums as in any OF
the thousand and one practical and
scientific Investigations now before the
department. He believes that the love
of flowers will produce contentment in
the country home.
The different varieties are beginning
to bloom in the large chrysanthemum
house near the department building
and when the 100 kinds under culture
are in bloom the sight will be one
worth travelling many miles to see. 1t
4 is,tS
of the country will come to Washing
ton during the week TO study the col
lection. The range of colOrS is from
white to a shade nearly black. Among
the new features will be number of
new seedlings from Japan, gathered by
the agent of the department in Japa- .
nese gardens. There are several speci-
mems from English growers and few
from German. France is represented,
and there are a dozen new varieties
from Ireland
1t is, however, in the American vari-
cites that the exhibition will be strong.
Among the best of these is the Mrs. j.

of Brigadier General John NJ. Wilson,
formerly superintendent of public
buildings and grounds of Washington.

included.
The experts of the department are
trying to produce something unique to
which to give the name Of Roosevelt.
There is no Roosevelt chrysanthemum
in the collection, though the Black
Hawk, President Roosevelt's favOrite,
is shown. Gardeners of the depart
ment regret that the Mrs. Cleveland
,chrysanthemum was a bad grower,
necessitating its abandonment
The exhibition will be open during
the daytime, and all visitors will be
admitted as long as the flowers are in
bloom. The collection being per
manent one it is not necessary to
bring the exhibition to a close at any
time in order to dispense the various
exhibits. Should this exhibition be
success there will be other similar an
