PIrTsBURa BRIDGE CASE.
Secretary Taft Again Compelled to De-
fer Action.

In view of the press of other important
business Secretary Taft has been again
compelled to defer action in the long
pending controversy over the Union bridge
at Pittsburg. During the administration
of Secretary Root the company owning the
bridge was ordered to raise it to height
that would open the river to navigation at
that point. A certain date was fixed for
the completion of this work, but the bridge
company has secured several extensions.
mainly on the ground that it would
show that there was no actual necessity
Tor the raising of the bridge Under the,
last order the limit of time would expire
on the LIST proximo.
Secretary Taft. however. not having had
ar opportunity to fully consider the ques-
tior on its merits up to this time, today
extended the time for the raising of the
bridge until December l. In the meantime
the officers of the bridge company are to
submit arguments to show why 1t is advisa-
bic for the War Department to reopen the
entire questions of the Pittsburg bridges with
a view to securing revocation or modI1.ca-
ton of the original decision that the Union
bridge shall be raised to the same height
as the other bridges.

cablegram from Rome last night says:
Much interest is felt here in the report that

Italian government, in conjunction with
Great Britain, would be willing to approach
Russia with proposition looking toward
peace, but wishes to have assurances that
in pursuing such course she would have
the support Of her associates in the triple
alliance. The support of France. according
to the paper mentioned, was asked in the
course of a recent interview between Signor

ury, and NJ. Bowler, the French minister
of finance, at Nice.

the cause of peace in the far east. and that
he intends visiting all the European courts.

An Imaginary Letter.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-The letter
alleged to have been received by Michael j.
Donnelly, the leader of the meat strike.
purporting to be one sent by President
Roosevelt. was copied from an editorial In
the New York Evening Post of August 1.
The Evening Post says today:
The letter appeared as an editorial In
the Evening Post of August !. and was ex-
plicitly stated to be a letter which the Presf-
dent might have written with advantage to
himself and the country In other words,
it was confessedly an imaginary letter,
written for the sake of bringing out GER
tain truths in regard to the meat strike"
The Evening Post also says:
I'VE had no thought, of course, of being
able to make even a presentable imitation
of the Presidents literary style; and as the
article was. at the time commented upon
and reproduced somewhat extensively in the
press. We never dreamed of its ever coming
to figure as campaign forgery"

Existence of Mays.

The existence Of the rays discovered
by Blondlot, of Paris, and named by
him "N-rays," about which much has
been written lately. is seriously cues
toned by an eminent German physicist.
who thinks M. Blondlot has suffered
from optical illusions, owing to the fact
that in manipulating the screens the
experimental turns aside, and this
causes an apparent increase in the
light on the test object. John Butler
Burke, who is one of the widely known
English observers who have been un-
bletoproduce these rays, says: "Iamat
a loss to find any other explanation off
Blondlot's results than that he has
come across a radiation to which some
men are blind. Self-hypnotism. due to
fatigue of the optic nerve, may account
for the results of one observer alone.
The fact that NJ. Blondlot has, in in
struments of precision, measured the
wave length of these rays would seem
to be conclusive evidence of their ex-
istence. And, too, Carpenter has, by
passing these rays through the brain,
produced a perception of light which
changed the size of the pupils"

Can Animals CountP

That a dumb animal cannot have the
arithmetical faculty, as we understand
it, is the conclusion of Ernesto Mancini,
a recent student of animal psychology.
The animal is lacking in the power of
drawing a general, as opposed to a par
ticular, conclusion; it also lacks articulate
speech; hence it is wanting in the explic-
it exercise of intelligence-that is, in all
that contributes to the formation of the
idea of number and it's development. Up
to a certain limit, indeed, an animal may
have a notion Of numbers-not of alb
stract numbers, but of groups of OBJ.
jects or of simultaneous and consecutive
images of them. Here there is a GER
tain likeness between a dumb animal
and a child, or a savage, with the differ
that the two last may progress
further, while the animal cannot do So.
A dog, then, according to Mancini. may
know the difference between two cats
and four cats, while the notions of the
numbers two" and -four are beyond
him.-Success.

the public mind. 1t is doubtful whether
In the whole record of American poll

stance of public uneasiness over a prob
able nomination. There have been
cases of grave democratic concern over
a republican nomination and vice versa,
but the uneasiness which attends Mr..
Roosevelt's almost certain chance is not
confined to party. 1t is public uneasi-
