tribution received by the Manufacturers
Association.
James A. Waterworth. president of the
Round Table Club. is deeply interested in
the success Of the Battleship Testimonial
fund. He has not yet appointed his COM
mittee in that organization. but will bring
the matter before the Board Of Directors
at a meeting tomorrow.
"Our club is composed Of members Of
business organizations who will be So
licited by the committees from their
branch of trade. and presume the action
taken by the club will be to contribute
as an organization and then let the MEM
bers give their individual subscriptions
into the hands of the committee in their
line of business" said Mr.. Waterworth.
Some steps must be taken to prevent
the committees from conflicting in their
collection of the fund. and the action
taken by the Business Mems League In
donating $50 out Of the treasury was
wise. Now their members can contribute
to whatever branch Of the fund they de-
sire and yet know that the league is rep
resented in the testimonial.
1.-THE Round Table Club is interested in
the testimonial for the battleship Mis-
souri, and l am sure that their interest
will be manifested in substantial form"

joined:
Twenty-eight cents an hour on electric

an advance was given a year ago. and
business does not warrant a further ad-
vance.

A special dispatch to The Republic from

Of the Artillery Corps will command the

they Will occupy during the Exposition
This exhibit. it is said. will be among
the most interesting which the United

Senate. body not controlled by Mr..
Hanna. but one in which he has sufficient
influence to see that all the facts are lalo
bare and considered fairly.
Rathbone and his friends say that, be-
fore the matter is settled. 1t will have a
different aspect, and one in which the rela-
tive standing of himself and General
Wood, at least as to their civil admins
trations in Cuba. will be considerably
changed in the popular estimate.
Probably in the end General Wood will
be duly confirmed as a Major General, but
it will not be without considerable opposi-
ton, and the prospect is that confirmation,
If had, will be reluctant and hesitating,
and not such responsive action as high
military officers desire when they are pro-
NOTED.
No action was taken by the Senate to-day
on the nomination Of General Wood to be
Major General, in view of the request
made yesterday in executive session by
Senator Teller that he be given an oppor-
tunity to make inquiries concerning Cen
eral Woods military record.
Secretary Proctor, acting chairman, will
call a second meeting of the Committee on
Military Affairs within the next few days
1t. is now the intention that the meeting
shall be public and a hearing be granted
to all persons, opposed to the promotion
of General Wood.
The appointment OF Brigadier General

made prior to that Of General Wood. was
ordered favorably reported.
AS long as the nomination Of General
Wood is held up about 100 nominations of
others will remain unacted upon, as their
promotion depends upon that Of General
Wood. .

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Albany. N Y. Nov. 12.-The Appellate
division of the Supreme Court to-day fixed
the price of kisses at s2.s7 each by con-
firming the decision of the lower court in
Miss Frances Petit's breach-of-promise
suit against Tittemore. the town black
smith of Galway. Saratoga County.
Miss Petit sued Tittemore for $4,000.
During the trial she announced that he
had kissed her 1.236 times during the four
teen years of their courtship. To prove
this statement she produced her diary in
which she had entered every night the
number of salutes he had bestowed upon
her during his call. When Tittemore tired
of kissing, Miss Petit asked $40 a kiss
Though the trial jury did not adopt her
valuation, Miss Petit secured a verdict
for $3,0OO and Tittemore Immediately went
into voluntary bankruptcy. The decision
Of the Appellate division to-day confirms
the verdict for 5000 obtained in the lower
court.

TO CUT HIS WINTERS WOOD.
Asks to Be Excused Till Leaders
Decide to Do Something.

Washington, Nov. 12.-Mr. Thayer (of
Massachusetts,. rising to question of
privilege, in the House to-day, asked II
a member would be considered derelict In
his duty if he would go home to get in his
winters wood. with the understanding
that he would return when the six or
seven men who, he said, constitute Con-
gress. should announce that something
was to be done.
The Speaker suggested that the question
hardly deserved the dignity Of parlia-
mentary inquiry. Mr.. Payne observed
that he was about to request unanimous
consent that the gentleman from Massa-5
chusetts be excused from the remainder of
the session. The House then adjourned.

Of securing vindication of his official con-
duct in Cuba.
1t is known that. incidentally. he will
present to the Senate what he considers
good reasons for refusal to confirm Leon
ard Wood to be Major General. Army
officers are taking no part in the matter.
but there is a strong sentiment with many
Of them. and 1t is shared by number of
Senators. that General Wood has been
advanced too rapidly and has been promo
ted by President Roosevelt to higher rank
than he earned in his short Cuban serv-
ice. as compared with the treatment of
other deserving officers.
Some time ago Major Rathbone made
public list of the lavish expenditures
made by General Wood for his semi
official household in Cuba. A comparison
of the items with similar expenditures
made by Rathbone for his quasi-official
mansion in Havana would show very lit
