TESTIMONY IN THE WOOD CASE.

1t begins to look as if there were a
plan to keep the case of Cen Wood
before the Military Committee of the
Senate until the campaign for the
presidential nomination of the Repub-
lican party was fairly begun. The
President has a great many powerful
enemies in his own party-political
enemies-and they are going to do
what they can to prevent him from
1t may be that they see a way
to use the case Of Gen. Wood against
him.
1t seems that a committee of the
Senate is going to Cuba to see what
there is in the charges which Maj.
Rathbone has made against Gen.
Wood How long this committee will
be gone no one is in a position to say,
but it would not be surprising if it
should not be ready to report before
the beginning of next year. Then there
may be other charges, necessitating ad-
ditional testimony.
1t is understood, of course, that Gen.
Wood is a great favorite with the Pres
ident and that the President is push
ing him forward with all the influ-
ence he possesses. He has jumped him
over the head of Ill officers to get
him into the position of major gen.
eral, and this act has aroused a rather
bitter feeling among army officers, par
ticularly as Gen. Wood has no mil
ftary record that entities him to any
such distinction.
Just what part the holding back
of the case of Gen. Wood can be made
to play in the campaign for
the presidential nomination doesn't ap-
pear, but there is a pretty strong sus-
piciOn that there is a part. Perhaps
it is hoped that some testimony will
be brought out in the investigation be-
fore the Military Committee that will
not be wholly creditable to the Presi-
dent, or it may be that it is expected
that the case will be made the means
of breaking off the friendly relations
which exist between Senator Hanna
and the President, and that then the
former will consent to become an open
candidate for the nomination.
1t is thought by some that he is
now, secretly, a candidate. Dispatches
have gone out from New York within
the last few days saying that he is a
candidate, and that it is his plan to
have Myron T. Herrick, the recently
elected Governor of Ohio, nominated
if he himself cannot set the nomina-
tion. 1t is alleged that there is schem-
ing to that effect going on in New
York
Senator Hanna is doing what he can
to bring about the defeat of the NOM
ination of Gen. Wood, and that fact
will tend TO cause a break between
him and the President, and there are
other things that will tend to make
their relations less friendly Unless all
signs fail there is a big game of poll
ties going on in the Republican party
at this time, and it is not improbable
that the case of Gen. Wood is a factor
in the game.

A sea- going tug of Baltimore, fitted
with wireless telegraph apparatus
during the past few days has made
the trip from the Virginia capes to
Boston, keeping all the time in com
munication with wireless stations on
land. The tug made the trip at an
average distance of some thirty miles
from land. At almost any moment
she could have communicated with
her owners had anything occurred ne
cessitating the sending of assistance.
Her wireless telegraphy outfit, it is
believed, will be of great service when
she is engaged in wrecking expeditions
or towing in heavy weather.

In Milwaukee a newspaper critic
who had written that certain sculp-
tured horse looked quite like a COW
was sued by the sculptor for damages.
The court has righteously decided that
the newspaper man, was within his
rights; that it was his function to
criticise and that if he honestly
thought he detected bovine character
istics in the figure it was his privi-
Iege to say so in his paper. The court
held that it was the artists work, not
the artist himself that had been criti-
cised, hence no action for damages
could hold.

A Western congressman, alarmed
at the large and increasing use Of
cocaine and other similar drugs in
Washington, has draughted a bill for
the purpose of checking the evil. I'm
der the terms of the bill, it is claim
ed, the sale of narcotics and poisons
could be greatly checked if not pre-
vented. An official of the Washing
ton health department says that the
increased use of cocaine is largely
due to the influx of negroes from the
Mississippi valley These people, it
is alleged, acquire the habit while
employed along the docks and levees.
