TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

The analysis of water throughout
the State has far some time back
en- aged the attention of the Depart
ment of Chemistry. As con Sc
quence, the analysis Of soil samples,
which was first delay by fire and
than by lack of prorer facilities for
their analysis, has been compelled
to suffer neglect, because of the al
most exclusive attention of the
Department to the current work that
was sent into the laboratory. 1t is
desired now to complete the analy-

earliest opportunity and, therefore,
we take this method of giving

PopE's NEwR elLwAY RAIL JOINT

Chas, L. Pope's invention Patented IN
the United States and Canada.
Cnas. l.. Pope has just received
patent from the Dominion OF Canada
on his invention OF new Railway
Rail joint, upon which patent was
granted him by the U. s. Govern
nent some time ago.
The invention relates to an i'm
proved railway rail joint, the object
being to provide labor and time
saving means for joining sbutting
ends of rails in a rigid bond without
the use of the usual fsh-plates and
bolts, and to provide a smooth du-
rable joint over which car trucks
may pass in either direction without
jar irresponsive of the expansion or
contraction of the rails. II consists
of rail joint comprising rail hav-
ing Its ends provided with an open
vertical slot: extending from top to
bottom of the rail, the upper part of
said slot extending backward along
the tread Of the rail, and the bifur-
Gated portion of the tread on each
side OF the slot projecting beyond
the end of the rail, the opposite rail
having a complimentary vertical
CONSTRUCTED portion matching the
slot portion of the first rail and CO.
acting Herewith to support the in
terlocking tread portions of the
rails and TO resist side thrust at all
points between the bottom and top
of the interlocking rail ends.
Rails Of this construction may be
laid with great rapidity, and when
spiked to the ties are held securely
without the further use of bolts or
fish plates. One rail holds the other
in place. forming as it were con-
tinuous rail, and rail eau only be
taken out by removing the spikes
and lifting both rails.
TT the addition cost in the manu-
facture of rails with this noval device
Of rail jointing does not prove t.
heavy, it will do away entirely witt
the continual jar to the trains whei
running over rail connections; saw
the ware and tare on rolling stock
simplify. expediate and great.
cheapen the cost of laying all rail
way rails.
Those engaged in the use ant
manufacture OF rails will do well t.
investigate the merit and adaptibilit
of Mr.. Pope's invention.

CONTEST TO SUCCEED
HANNA ON IN EARNEST
rick and General Dick-Poltticfans
Confer After Senator'S Funeral.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Cleveland. O.. Feb. 13.-The contest for
the United States senatorship to succeed
the late Marcus A. Hanna began in
earnest late Tonight Three separate
conferences are now being held at the
Hollenden Hotel, where the politicians
have assembled since the funeral of Mr..
Hanna.
The contest has narrowed down be-
tween Governor Myron 7. Herrick and
General Charles Dick. The Governors
friends tonight say that he is ambitious
to go to the Senate; that it is the chief
ambition of his life. He is willing to take
the place. though he has not made Il sim
gle appointment, as Governor. or hardly
familiarized himself with the duties of
tho Office.
General Dick has not yet made public
announcement of his candidacy, though he
is in the race and is receiving assurances
Of support from many sections of the
State.
Senator Foraker is mixing in the fight,
but the decision will be given by George
B. Cox. the Republican leader of Cincin-
natl, whose power in the Legislature Is
admitted. Cox is in a dilemma He finds
it difficult to decide whether it is better
to indOrse Dick. thus leaving Herrick in
the Governors chair. or throw his support
TO Herrick. and by electing him give the
governorship to Lieutenant Governor
Harding. whom he counts a warm friend.

boldly gave orders that both vessels steam
out and meet the enemy.
The fight outside between the varia g
and Korietz and the eight Japanese war
ships resulted. according to the officers
reports. in the sinking of two of the
Japanese warships. one cruiser and one
torpedo boat destroyer. and the crippliny
of third vessel.
The Russian ships were repeatedly
struck. but they succeeded in re-enterins
the harbor where the Captains decided
to blow up their ships to prevent them
from falling into the hands Of the enemy.
The survivors OF the crews were taken on
and the two warships were set on fire.
The Russians also blew up a small
steamer, the Sungari, which was acting as
tender to the Variag.
The few st. Petersburgers who have just
heard the authentic news of the Chemulpo
fight are eloquent in their praise Of the
skillfn and gallant conduct of the Va
rags Captain. They say he inflicted all
the damage possible to the enemy's YES
sells and then destroyed his own ships.
More than that a sailor could not do in
the face of such tremendous odds.
