History Of the Deal
while 1 was in Washington" Mr.. briggs
testified Mr.. Miller, representative of the
Fraudulent Company, came to me and
said that he had business proposition tn
make. After we had talked over the mat
ter, told Mr.. Miller thought the machines
were a good thing, and that they should be
pushed on their merits.
Mr.. Brandt the president of the COM
pany, had an interview with me, and I
promised to take up their machine and
push it. l acted merely citizen, and
underworld to get the machine into banks
and department stores, and went as far as
Denver and the coast.
All this time / was acting not because l
was a member-elect of Congress, but be-
cause good business proposition had been
made to me. Finally l got an order for 2iu
machines, which were to be placed in the
post office.
Il never asked a member of Congress to
aid me, nor did ! bring the matter before
any congressional committee. The ma
chimes went into the department on their
merits. For my two years work for the
company 1 received $12,500 through Mr..
Miller. This was my compensation for all
the work done, and not for any special
contract secured"
MI. briggs declared that he never paid
money to any one in connection with the
work for the company. Mr.. briggs denied
a statement made by Miller that he had
admitted having drawn two of the drafts
received from the Brandt-Dent Company
to the order of the national republican
campaign committee.
The minimum sentence for the offense of
which MI briggs was convicted is one
days Imprisonment and fine.

CATHOLICS WANT A PRIVATE.
Eight Archbishops Going to Rome to
Advocate Proposition.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Philadelphia last night says:
Archbishop Ryan is going to Rome, to-
gether with seven other archbishops from
this country, to discuss the creation of an
American primate. Among those expected
to go or send official representatives are:
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul, Arch
bishop Chappelle of New Orleans. Arch
bishop Quigley of Chicago. Archbishop
Messner of Milwaukee Archbishop Glennon
OF ST. Louis, and Archbishop Keane of
Dubuque.
1t is not believed that the discussion of
the prinlate by the special council of the
hierarchy at Washington on January 81 will
be decisive because of the wide diversity
of opinion as to the wisdom of abolishing
the apostolic delegation in this country and
creating prinate.
Archbishop Farley has been selected to
carry to Rome the findings of the council,
but the other archbishops will journey to
the Vatican in the interests of their sides.
Mgr Falconfo apostolic delegate to the
United States, 1t is understood does not
approve OF the new plan to create pri-
mate He believes that Rome should have
her own representative in the United States.

QUALITY SATISFACTORY.
Report Regarding Test Of Asbesto.
Curtains Used in Theaters.

Chief Engineer William T. Belt of the fire
department today submitted to Commission
er Macfarland a report relative to tests Of
samples of the asbestos curtains used in
the local theaters, in which it is stated that
the curains are found to be In satisfactory
condition and of quality to properly resist
fire. Chief Belts report to Mr. mcfarland
follows:
Pursuant to your direction to visit the
different theaters of this city and secure a
sample piece of asbestos from the curtains
in use therein, for the purpose of testing
their fire-resisting qualities. 1 have the
honor to report that accompanied by Fire
Marshal Sidney Bieber, visited the follow
ing theaters and obtained samples of the
asbestos curtains therein-The Columbia.
Kernan's, Chase's, the Empire and the
Academy Of Music.
"A small piece of asbestos was cut from
each sample obtained and placed in a red
hot stove and allowed to remain for
minute, when 1t was removed and found to
have been absolutely fireproof. An iron
frame was also provided. resembling In
minia ture the curtain opening of a theater,
and the larger sample pieces were hung
therefrom, one at a time, and saturated
with gasoline. Under the sample OF cur
tain thus saturated was started q fire
ssting of the most inflammabie material,
such as shavings, barrel slaves and other
wooden substances, to which was added
coal Oil, this making an extremely intense
heat. The asbestos was left for three and
half minutes after the fire was started,
when it was taken down and found to be
absolutely fire-resisting.
Il therefore, consider these curtains to be
in good condition and l of the opinion
that they will resist the flames for a suffi-
Gent length of time to allow the audiences
to properly vacate the theaters in case of
fire therein. --
Samples from the curtains at the Nation
al and Lafayette thedters could not be OBJ
tanned on account of the way in which they
are hung, and was obliged to test them in
position. torch was secured and applied
to the curtain and allowed to remain In diff
ferent places covering five inches in diane
ter from two and one-half TO five minutes.

tains also proved TO be satisfactory

increased to so per cent. and has enabled
the managers to make improvements that
are much appreciated by the public, and to
reduce the rates Of fare, which are now
lower than those of any railway in Europe.
The result has been natural. The passen-
ger traffic and receipts have rapidly in
creased. A similar reduction Is promised in
freight rates. which the managers expect

Railway Station at Cairo.
There Is fine railway station at Cairo,
and when we rolled into it at midnight the
train was surrounded by what one would
suppose was a mob of lunatics, while in re-
atty they were only porters, hotel runners
and railway officials, who were there to as
sist us to the hotel omnibuses. I never was
able to understand why it is, but the COM
mon people among the oriental races arc
always yelling at somebody 1t is so In
China and Japan, in India and Turkey. If
one man Wishes to communicate an idea to
another he shouts at the top of his voice,
and when he has nothing in particular To
say he screams as loud as he can on gen.
eIal principles. simply to contribute his
share to the hubbub Hence public places.
Ike railway stations. in Egypt and the orr
entail countries, will give you an idea OF
what Babel must have been, particularly
when the natives attempt to address stran-
gers In foreign languages.
The population Of Cairo is so cosmopol-
ltan that most of the railway porters, hotel
servants, hack drivers, donkey boys and
people about the streets who come In con-
tact with the public are familiar with q
few words of a dozen different languages,
and are shrewd enough to pick the people
TO whom these languages belong from a
crowd Of any size. Every language and
dlalect OF European Asia, Africa and Eu-
rope is spoken on the streets and in the
ba1aars of Cairo. And no matter where
ne comes from a stranger cannot stroll
along the busy squares upon which the
principal hotels are located without being
addressed in his own tongue. This phe-
nomenon is manifested at the railway sta
tons more notably than elsewhere, and
tfmid people are likely to be startled by
having a half-naked Arab rush up to them
and yell in their ears, Il spik Anglis; give
me your bag and similar greetings. But
1t is only necessary to wait for a man with
semi-military uniform who has the name
of your hotel embroidered in gilt letters on
his cap and coat collar. He will come
sooner or later. It's his business Point
out your luggage to him, do as he tells you,
and you will come through all right.

feet under Admiral Togo frustrated an
effort made by the Russian warships
remaining in Port Arthur to escape
from the harbor. driving them back to
face the awful fire constantly poured
upon them by the Japanese land bat

The Russian fleet. which returned
to the port after the terrific sea fight
darkness made desperate attempt to
pass the japanese squadron lying out
side of the harbor and reach safety
and liberty. The Japanese had been
lying far of shore. and the Russians
imagined they had a slight chance OF
thus escaping the vigilant eye of Ad-
miral Togo. The Russian warships
crept out with lights extinguished, and
the Japanese opened a terrific fire on
them.
According to reports received here
the Russians made no attempt to en-
gage in general action. but hurried
back to the harbor.
The sOrtie is regarded as a confir-
nation OF previous reports. that the
