DIR. CRUM NOMINATED.
Presidents Determination to Meet the
CoI0r-LIne Issue.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The president,
following out what was intimated to
be his firm determination some time
ago, to-day sent to the senate the nom
ination of DR.. Crum to be collector Of
the port of Charleston, S. C. When it
was first known that DR.. Crunl, who is
an educated negro was possibility for
the nomination, great stir took place
among many of the business men of
Charleston. Letters opposing his nom
ination were written to the president,
to which the latter replied, saying,
among other things, that no good rea-
son had been given against the nomi-
nation. The fight against DR.. Crum
was put up principally on color grounds,
and the presidents action is another
indication of his determination to meet
the color-line issue.

naval Oftse Duty.
Washington, Jan. S-When the SEN
ate reconvened to-day after the holiday
recess few senators were absent. AL
most Immediately discussion began
regarding the coal situation.
In introducing a bill to suspend the
duty on coal for ninety days Mr.. Lodge
of Massachusetts said he was aware
that such a measure must originate in
the house, but he desired to call the
attention of the finance committee to
existing conditions. In his section
there was great suffering for lack OF
fuel and many factories might be fore
ed to shut down. The duty of 81 cents
on anthracite coal, he said, could be re-
moved for ninety days without injury
to the coal producers of the country.
Mr.. Culberson introduced a resolution
providing for the removal of the duty
on anthracite coal and asked its imme-
diate consideration. Mr.. Platt Of Con-
necticut objected, saying it was his un-
derstanding there was no duty on an
thracite coal. Mr.. Vest took exception
to this statement and said that the
board of general appraisers and Presi-
dent Roosevelt had decided that such
duty is imposed. 5Fr. Vest also intro
duced a resolution on the subject.
Senator Mason of Illinois introducedI
a bill to provide for the temporary OPP
Grafton of coal mines. 1t provides that
hereafter whenever any coal mine IS
unoperated and continues to be unop-
Grated to the prejudice of the rights Of
the people, it shall be the duty of the
attorney general to apply to any judge
of a United States court for receiver
for the mine, who, if appointed, shall
serve until such time as the court shall
find by decree that neither the general
welfare nor public necessity require the
further operation of said mine by such
receiver.
Another resolution bearing on the
subject of coal, introduced by Mr.. Jones
OIL ATkdTSdS, TGCIlSu llS ClidI sc VI =" :
r. Hearst that there was an illegal
combination among certain railNvsds to
control the Shipment Of anthracite coal,
and called on the attorney general for
the evidence which it was alleged had
been secured by him. 1t caused lively
debate, in which several republican
senators resented what they thought
was a reflection on the attorney gen
eraI. The discussion continued until
o'clock when the resolution went over
being displaced by the omnibus state
hood bill. Mr. Nelson of Minnesota ad-
dressed the senate in opposition to the
bill and favored single statehood fol
Oklahoma and Indian Territory. At
O'Clock the senate adjourned.

Statesman of Long Experience.
Madrid, Jan. 5.-Former Premier Sa-
gasta died at half-past six o'clock to-
night.
Senior Sagasta was born in 1927. He
was premier during the humiliating
times of the Spanish-American war and
his cabinet negotiated the peace proto-
col through France. He was an astute
statesman Of wide experience.
The news of Senor Sagastas death
created a painful impression through
out Madrid. King Alfonso displayed
profound regret when he heard of the
former premier's death. His majesty
had desired to visit Genera Sagasta
during his illness, but was told that to
do SO would be contrary to etiquette.
Senior Sagasta's intellect was unim-
paired until his last hours. He talked
to lis daughter, the presidents of the
senate and of congress and to the arch
bishop Of Toledo. King Alfonso has
written a touching letter of sympathy
to Senior Sagasta's family and during
the former premier's illness the queen
mother and other members of the royal
family frequently sent officials to in
quire as to his progress. He had been
seriously i'll for several weeks with
bronchitis, complicated by gastric COM
plants and fever.

A MUSICIANS BRAIN.
uIties Necessary in Playing
some Pieces.

In the course of a lecture at the
conference of musicians in Dublin,
Ireland some interesting particulars
and some astonishing statistics were
given relatively to the amount of
work accomplished by the brain and
nerves in piano playing, says the Sci
entific American. A pianist in view
of the present state Of pianoforte
playing has to cultivate the eye to
see about 1,50O signs in one minute,
the fingers to make about 1000 move
ments and the brain to receive and
understand separately the 1900 signs
while it issues 1000 orders. In play
ing Weber's 'Moto Perpetuo" a pian-
ist has 10 read 4,54l notes in little
under four minutes. This is about
10 per second; but the eye can re-
ceiye only about ten consecutive i'm
pressions per second, so that it is evil
dent that in very rapid music a play
er does not see every note singly,
but in groups, probably a bar or
more at one vision. In Chopin's
"Etude in L Minor Gn the second
set) the speed of reading is stin
greater, since it is necessary to read
$3.50 signs in 21s minutes, which is
equivalent to about % notes per sec
ord.

CHRISTENING A SHIP.
Various Ways Young Women spon-
sors Have of Smashing the
Baptismal Bottle.

Rear Admiral Bowles, chief con-
structor of the navy, who was an inter
ested spectator of the recent launch
OF the armoured cruiser Colorado at
Philadelphia, has made some interest
ing comments on the general subject
of the methods practised in christen-
ing warships by breaking bottles Of
champagne on their prows. According
to his experience, there are three ways
of handling the bottle on such occas-
ions, says the Washington Star.
He describes one as the baseball
method, in which the bottle is held
like bat and hurled against the side
Of the ship with a long, sweeping
swing, with energy enough for home
run or three-bagger at least. An
other method is described as the tents
blow, in which the bottle is smashed
against the prov with a full arm serve.
The admiral is quoted as saying that
this method was used by the sponsor
of the Colorado. The third method is
described as the ping-pong style, and
is a dainty little smash, sufficiently
vicious, however, to shower the cham
pagne on the hull, and sometimes on
the fair operator also.
II is admitted that none of these
methods is perfect and that failure is
possible in each. through the nervous
ness or excitement Of the operator.
who, by bad aim or lack of sufficient
force, may fail to break the bo e and
IN that way spoil the whole ceed-
ings. A failure of that kind night be
disasterous to a ship, at least from a
sentimental viewpoint and. as the sail
ors say. would "hoodoor that partic-
ular vessel. In one case. the sponsor
delayed the blow until the descending
ship got beyond her reach; but she
was equal TO the occasion. and by
well directed throw managed 70 smash
the bottle broadside ON.
To avoid the possibility of such ac-
Admiral Boles suggests the
use Of device attached to this ship in
such way that when the young lady |
releases the bottle il IS bound to strike |
against the PROV Of the ship with suf-
fcient force 70 release the contents,
and thus give the ship its maiden bath
before Il reaches its native element.
