A Wealthy Man.
Questioned His Warrants.

While Mr. Day was State treasurer
he issued many warrants, the legality Of
which has been questioned by subse-
quent administrations. These warrants
were for moneys used by the State IN
der the Taylor administra ton. and IL is
believed that the possibility Of the State
making an attempt to recover judgment
against Mr.. Day is one Of the reasons
why the former State treasurer coz
verted his real estate into cash. No
char-e is made against Ny. Day for is
suins warrants iOr State expenses be-
yOnd the allegation that he was not the
states treasurer in fact. and like Gov
ernOr Taylor. was exercising the powers
Of an cffiee over which he nad no legal

lpartments In the very center of the boat is ong
itudina opening which extends the whole length Of
the space intended for crew or passengers and is
Irealy a case for a centerboard II is much wider
than necessary for that purpose and is intended
partly to empty the boat and partly to hold cen
terboard consisting of thin sheet Steel weighted with
a 600pound bulb of nodded lead This centerboard
can be raised or lowered in ordinary cases. There
are the principal distinctive features of the Henry
boat and may be applied to pleasure craft as well
as to lifeboats
These boats are fitted with oars and sails, and
one of the notable features of the experiments at La
Rochelle was the maneuvring of what is clamd the
first automobile lifeboat. A Henry boat was fur
nished with double-cylinder 12-horse power gaso.
line engine which gave speed of six knots an hour
The engine can not be reversed, but by an ingenious
eontrivance the propeller blades can be reversed in
stead, which produces the same result
The claims for the Henry lifeboat are that it. is
unsuitable and cannot be upset. The following ex.
periments were made to prove these claims: A boat
of this type raised stern first until its length as
sumed line vertical to and six feet above the sur
face of the water 1t then instantly released and
plungng bow first into the water righted itself i'm.
mediately.
Another boat was turned upside down on perfect
ly smooth water and being slightly raised on one
side, much as wave would do the lifeboat at once
rolled over on even keel.
The Henry boat is not only unsuitable because ii
has more than dozen watertight compartments,
but also because the opening in the center permits
the water to escape Immediately when wave is
shipped. An artificial wave consisting of four tons
of water was suddenly thrown into lifeboat from
a height of about II feet. The boat emptied almost
instantly.
The experiments were made before many thou
sand people and delegates from various lfe-saving
societies The navy department ministers de la
marine) had a special representative The con-
sensus of French newspaper opinion on these ex-
periments is that decided advance has been made
in the development of machines intended to save
human life from the sea-

The ethical question which has been avowed on a
great corporation in New York is an interesting one
1t is proved that the poolroom gambling establish
ments would be compelled to close if the telegraph
services were cut off Everyone knows that the emf

of the Western Union would not enter into the serv-
ice of the poolrooms for hire. But the question
whether their corporation shall do so is regarded as
an entirely distinct one in corporate ethics.

RUSSIAN SHIPS SUNK
VLADIVOSTOK SQUADRON SAID
TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED
BY THE LAPS.

London, June 16.-Dispatches to the
London morning papers from Toxic
and Shanghai give energy and va
riety to the reports concerning Vice
Admiral Skrydloff's daring raid. They
say that his feet bombarded Xxi is
land in the straits of Korea; that the
fleet had been destroyed; that it es-
capped to the eastward, etc.
These reports, though none of them
Is confirmed, give evidence of the
lively anxiety existing in Japan, such
as few previous incidents in the war
have created.
The account of the alleged great bat
tie near Fuchou, seventy miles north
Of Port Arthur, appears to be an ex-
eggerated version of the operations at
Vafangow, which is close to Fuchou.
A Toxic correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph, referring to this engage
ment, says the report is entirely with
out confirmation.
The correspondent of the Standard
at Toxic says that, according to trust
worthy calculation, the cost of the war
to Japan has been wonderfully small
and that no further loan will be
needed until April, 1905.

PAYNE is I%NDISPOSED
CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLICAN, Ma
TlonAL COMMITTEE UNABLE
TO ATTEND MEETING.

Chicago, June 16.-Postmaster Gen
eral Henry G. Payne, chairman of the
Republican national committee, who
has been in Chicago several days TAX
ing active part in the preliminary
work Of the coming Republican ma
tional convention, became sick
Wednesday and was unable to attend
Ia meeting of the national committee
at which he had expected to preside.
While Mr.. Payne's condition is not
such as to cause alarm, a doctor was
called. Mr.. Payne, although weak,
was able to he about. It will probably
be several days however, before he
will attend the national committee
meetings, which will be presided over
by Senator Scott of West Virginia.
Mr.. Payne's illness was said to be
due to a distressed stomach. Mr..
Payne had not been in the best of
condition recently but was showing
considerable improvement until he ar
rived in Chicago and took up the
duties connected with the national
committee and convention. He spent
DAYS receiving callers and this exer-
ton may have led to his indisposition.
News of Mr.. Payne's illness spread
rapidly, but when his colleagues in the
national committee found his condition
was not serious they went to attend
the committee meeting.
Mrs. Payne is in Milwaukee. A tele-
gram was sent to her to Offset the re-
mort that had been in circulation that
his condition was serious. It is not
thought she will come to Chicago.
