Ten thousand dollars was assigned arbi-
trarily to Porto Rico and deducted from
the appropriation of 100000.
1t is stated at the War Department that
the apportionment for the District OF CO.
lumbia militia was based on the report of
Gen. Harries of February l last, giving the
strength Of the organization at 1904 men.
It has since developed as a result of the
special inspection conducted by Capt Ste
vens of the artillery that the strength of
the organized District militia is but Lib
men. Consequently the 80 per cent allot-
ment already made of $10.971.51 will have
to be reduced proportionately.

REvERsEs SUPREME COURT.
Decision of Chicago Judge at Variance
With Highest Tribunal.

dispatch from Chicago says: Judge
Philip Stein of the superior court has given
a ruling that is directly at variance with
decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States on similar question.
The ruling arises in an insurance suit
brought by Mrs. Sarah Ihrig, to prevent the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, which has
Its home Office in New York city, from for
feiting a policy for 1900. taken out In tho
name of her husband. without giving
notice.
The Supreme Court had decided in the
Cohen case that New York insurance COM
panies can forfeit policies written outside
the state without giving notice, while tho
New York statute provides that notice must
be given of the voiding OF policies
The Ihrig policy was written in Colorado.
After considering all the facts Judge Stain
ruled that the company must abide by the
New York law. Notwithstanding the deci-
sion of the federal Supreme Court to the
contrary.

Trick Of Alexander.
Then the ministry took up the matter and
decided. after long and serious consulta-
ton. that 1t would be an act of duty and
patriotism to Immediately check the am
billions of their queen. Therefore the en-
tire cabinet. with Mr.. Vuitsch. prime min
ister at their head. called at the palace at
an unusual hour and asked for an audience.
Alexander must have suspected the pur-
pose of their visit for after keeping them
waiting for fifteen or twenty minutes he
appeared In full unifor mas commandment
chief Of the Servian army. with his wife
upon his arm. Advancing a few steps
from the entrance. the royal couple stood
arm in arm with defiant air. while the
eight ministers arose and saluted them.
Mr.. Vuitsch in conciliatory way, sug-
gested that, as they desired to consult the
king upon a matter of Importance to the
state the presence of her majesty was not
necessary. But Alexander had evidently
been through a rehearsal. for he replied
firmly and without hesitation: THE Queen
of Servia Is interested as much as myself
in all affairs of state"
The prime minister bowed in acquiescence
and proceeded to say that disquieting ru-
mors concerning selection of an heir to
the throne had been in circulation for sew
eral days and had reached the ears of the
cabinet from unofficial sources. No notice
had been taken of them until they had been
his majesty more than his own cabinet
and lawful advisers.
Therefore they deemed 1t their duty to
enter a remonstrance and to remind him
that the skuptshina which was about to
assemble. under the constitution must be
consulted and their approval obtained be-
fore the proclamation of an heir apparent
could be formally made.
He was confident, the prime minister
said, that a majority Of that body, which
was radical In sentiment. would never agree
to the choice his majesty had made, and
with the history of Servia 30 familiar in
his mind his majesty must recognise the
danger to himself and to the country Of a
difference with his parliament upon so i'm
portant a subject as the selection of his
successor. He therefore begged that, be-
fore any formal steps be taken, the leaders
of the parliament should be consulted.
King is Excited.
Alexander here interrupted and shouted
in an excited manner:
IT shall carry out my own will"
"The will of the people must also be con-
sidered," answered the prime minister

AERIAL MAIL; $50 MILES AN HOUR.
SIGNcR PISCICELLpS MECHANISM FOR
CARRYING LETTERS AND PARCELS.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
SiEuor Piscicclli, a scientist. # Rome, has
invented a mechanism for carrying letters
and parcels which is so novel and promises
such good results that the Italian Govern
ment is seriously thinking of using it
throughout the country in place of the pres
cnt mail service. one reason VIII it prefers
Sigror Placicelli's method is because, ac-
cording 20 the inventor. by ii letters and
parcels can he transmitted I'm one place
10 another at a speed. If desired. Of 20
miles an hour. and another 'eison Is be
cause the cost of Vcu-d ne
much less than it is at resent.
In erman and France little IA yet
known Of the new invention, but the few
experts who have anime it praise it
highly and say that it possesses many ad-
vautaEes over the present method OF car
ryinS letters.
Si@nor PiscicelIi'a scheme IS to have wires
strung at a height Of forty-five feet above
the ground. and to have "a vehicles boxes,
which are to contain mail and which are
to be rolled along the wires TO any distance
that may be necessary.
The boxes are to he on rollers. which will
fit closely t, the wires. and the posts sup
porting the wires are to be 800 feet apart
from each other.
Moreover. the boxes are to be made CT
aluminium, ard. when filed with letters and
packages. they must not "eiSh more tnan
seventy pounds each.
Furthermore. to each post is to be st
tached a double wire SO that the boxes may
never he impeded. but can run in both di-
reCtions at the same time.
As the wires ar. 80 high above the ground
no thief will be able to snatch one of them
unless he climbs one of the posts. and if
he ventures to do this Signor Pisciceiii will
see that he will receive an electric shock
which will surprise him.
1t is extremely doubtful, however. If this
will ever be necessary. and for the simple
reason that the boxes will generally Ice
going very fast, and it will not be easy
for i thief to dislodse one unless he has Il
gun.
The exact manner in which these boxes
are to be propelled has net yet been di-
vulged. but it is supposed that they will be
provided with electric motors.
In any case. the inventor claims that they
can run at the rate of 20 miles an nour.
and that, if desired, 400 can be started On

music without fully entering into its spirit
and that his features and gestures only be-
trayei his inward sensibilities.
Coming from such an authority, the state
ment has attracted considerable attention.
The position Of the musician precludes the
possibility of this facial contortion being
merely a pose to attract attention.
De Pachmsnn added that IL his facial ex-
preston and gestures were distasteful to
the audience he was very sorry and apol-
oSized. but that he was powerlesS to control
them.
In other words. De Bachmann. under the
excitement OF his own music or Its influence,
whatever it might be. was actually hypno-
tizcd. and his face. and for that matter his
entire body. was for the time but the
medium for translItinS il.
The phenomena may be observed In the
case of other musicians. Any one who has
attended the ~recita!s of some OF the noted
musicians who have appeared in New
York IN the last few years can readily sup
ply further examples.
The casual observer will notice at these
~rccitals that not only the musicians face,
but his entire figure. interpret the spirit Of

the entire body instantly become tense, the

while the arms and hands also express the
same spirit.
In stiil other passages the head Is likely

INTERESTS OF THE
KUHN-L0EB GROUP.


WRITTEN FOR THE Sunday REPUBLIC.
Wall street is the point of rest. however
brief, of so many revolving dollars that an
extraordinary power attaches TO any hand
which dominates il.
Being the potential center OF a continent
OF $3.50 miles, of 5o.co miles of railroads.. of
s0,0Co,cO of people. the control of men and
affairs made possible from such a base of
operations is unprecedented.
To-day. directing their operations from
this center, exactly thirteen. men control
more or less directly the Industrial and
commercial life in the remotest parts of
America.
1t is an Inevitable condition, however
transitory. of our financial evolution.
Like the base of great military opera
tions, the financial center of any country.
from the very nature of things. must lend
itself to colossal manipulate ton and control.
The movement of gold past a given point,
It's very presence, serves to balance the en-
tire financial situation delicately.
Where so many enormous and diversified
interests focus the situation must be ex-
tremely nervous and tension at all times
present. ?
The very name Of Wall street exerts. it
would seem, some mysterious, occult power.
by any other name, Threadneedle street
or the Bourse, a great financial center
would be the object OF admiration or of
hatred.
In America more than anywhere else in
the world have the possibilities of financial
control been seized. combined and grouped
until 4 power greater. more potent. per-
tsps, than royal control has been made
possible.
At the beginning OF the year 1908 these
thirteen var lords of finance doubtless hold
a position stronger. more firmly intrenched.
than evcc before.
From their Businesses in Wall street they
continue to direct a campaign with a vast
army of some 100000 people.
The territory covered IN the operations,
