MACHEN REGISTERS
EMPHATIC DENIALS
Defendant in the Postal Trial Spends a
Day on Witness Stand.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 9.-The
central figure in the postal trial, Au-
gust w. Machen, former superintendent
of the rural free delivery division, oc-
cupied the stand today. He said he
assumed responsibility for the acts of
Miss Liebhardt, his chief clerk, who
had initiated and signed letters from
his division. He rehearsed the oil
transaction which has figured so con-
spicuously in the trial and said that
the $4,000 received from Lorenz in
payment of the Machen interest in the
oil property was bona fide sale.
The Croft fastener, he said, had been
called to the attention of the depart
ment before he received his appoint
ment. He denied emphatically that up
to the time Mr.. LOrenZ, in August, 1895,
spoke of having an interest in the de-
vice he had any suspicion of the fact
and was equally emphatic in saying
that neither Mr.. LOrenz nor the Groffs
ever influenced his action either in
placing the first order for the fasteners
or in any subsequent orders.

A DIVIDED MAJORITY.

The gathering of Republicans yester-
day incident to the meeting of the
state central committee made obvious
to the wayfaring man a fact that has
long been apparent to the observer in
politics: That the differences between
the machine men in the Republican
camp are so great that there is hope for
a betterment in political conditions.
There is going to be sharp skirmish
for the spoils of office, and the fight IS
already so bitter between the partisans
of the several leaders that there is
small hope of pacific settlement.
Things are therefore looking up in
the state of Minnesota. For years the
Republican party of the state was
managed by a few sharp men, who
were willing that others who had the
vote-getting capacity should take the
nominations so they controlled the
patronage. Lately there have arisen
other claimants to leadership, and
these latter have made it very clear
that they would not be cowed by the
crack of the party whip. They are 60
ing to share in the good things or thew
are going to make a row. And they
are very certain to have to make the
row, for the others will not let 60. and
there are reasons why they should not
want to divide.
This division which menaces the ma
Jority is going to make for better gov
eminent. The Republican party has no
divine right here in Minnesota. 1t has
held the reins of power because 1t was
directed by men clever at the political
game. These men have gone out and
rounded up the vote by cunning means.
But their power is waning. The men
they led to the polls are coming to
think for themselves; they have ac-
quired a better and more complete
knowledge of the rights Of American
citizenship. They will presently come
to understand that they have been used
as the pawns in this game that the Re-
publican politicians have been playing
for their own profit.
A split in the councils will have a
beautiful educational effect on the
masses Of voters who have voted the
Republican ticket because it was the
ticket Of the majority.

OUR INTEREsTIN KOREA.

The American public generally re-
CARDS Korea as being about as re-
mote from American interests as any
nation under the sun, but, as matter Of
fact, we have a very large financial
stake in the Hermit Empire.
To the enterprise of Americans,
rather than to their neighbors, the
Japanese. the Koreans are indebted for
whatever they have in the way of mod
ern improvements and conveniences.
Americans built the principal railroad
in the empire, that from Chemulpo to
Seoul, and sold it to the government.
Americans constructed and are now
operating electric railways in Seoul,
and they built water works and an
electric light plant for the town.
Some of these enterprising investors
are still living in hope. They have not
been able to collect all their money.
for, though it was easy enough to make
contracts with his Korean majesty #
was not so easy for him to borrow
money from his Japanese bankers to
pay the bills. He has been very free
with his royal signature, but 1t is not
going to be bankable paper in case
Japan or Russia concludes to take over
his domains
The losses that these American in
vestors are quite certain to sustain in
The Land of the Morning Calm, as the
Koreans delight in calling their coun-
try, will be chargeable to their own
efforts to overreach the simple Korean.
1t is possible to sell anything in Seoul
If cash is not demanded for 1t. The
guileless natives are so open to the ad-
vantages of Western civilization that
they buy things for which they have
no possible need. Their -complacenev
in this regard is shown in the streets
of Seoul, where an electric railway is
operating in lanes barely wide enough
to permit the passage of the cars.
We are going to lose something in
Korea-at least the Yankees who sold
discarded electric equipment there are
going to. But as nation we will be
able to bear up any losses that NAV
fall upon the enterprising gentlemen
who sold an electric light plant to peo-
pie who have not the price to buy can
dies.

CULLOM EXPLAINS THE
PANAMA CANAL TREATY
Senator Calls 1t Superior to the Hay
Herran Agreement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 9.-In
the executive session of the senate to-
day the Panama canal treaty was TAX
en- up for formal consideration and
Senator Cullom. chairman of the COM
m1ttee on foreign relations, who has
charge of the treaty, made a formal
statement in explanation of it's terms
and in advocacy of it's ratification He
explained the points in which this
treaty differs from the Hay-Herran
treaty with Colombia, contending that
the present agreement was far superior
to the former one, in that it practically
placed the United States in absolute
control Of the canal and the canal strip.
He said that there need be no fear of
complications on account of claims that
may be made by Colombia to an in
terest in the canal, the Panama rail-
road, or other property interests on the
lsthmus, because these naturally pass
to the new government Of Panama.
No effort was made to fix a time for
voting on the treaty, but Senator Gull
lom expresses confidence that a vote
will be assured next week
The senate today passed the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
and renewed consideration Of the 18TH
milan question. Mr.. Fulton (Or) spoke
in support of the Panama course of the
administration, and Messrs. Carmack
and OVerman On. c. in opposition
thereto. Mr.. Overman's speech reveal
ed the attitude of probably the last
doubtful member Of the senate. The
speech was Mr.. Overman's maiden eff
fort.

FIRST BEAT SCORED.

Did you know, when you read the
newspaper yesterday morning, that
war had been declared officially to ex-
list by Japan against Russia? Did you
know that this was no longer mere ru-
NOR but had been communicated to the
foreign office of Japans great ally, nat
urally first entitled to the news? Did
you know that an engagement had al

When The GIob announced the

including the great war service of the
New York Herald and the service of
special correspondents at all points. it
knew that it had covered the news
fully, as a newspaper ought to cover it.

of its city subscribers, The Globe

In its third edition, which was placed
upon the streets at an early hour yes

pletion Of the first battle. These were
both of them tremendous beats"
They are such news successes as

NOTHING EIREPRooE.

The experience of every city that has
gone through great confiagration
proves that the term ''fireproof" is rela-
tive only. 1t means that building has
been SO constructed that any fire
breaking out within it could not de-
stroy it. 1t implies the use Of nothing
but bricks, stone, steel, mortar and
tiles in construction; so that doors.
floors and window castings would be
the only combustible material. All
these might burn to the last inch
without at all injuring the building or
affecting the security Of its contents
AS further extension, the word fire
proof means that the building is in
such shape that it viii withstand any
ordinary assault by the flames from
without. If the buildings all around It
were to burn in the ordinary way, it
would stand secure and unaffected.
In the strictly theoretical and arbi-
trary sense Of the word, however,
nothing so far discoverable is fire
proof" The nearest approach to it
would be the adobe building, or some
thing modern fashioned after it and out
of the same materials. 1t is a curious
thing that, after all that science and art
have done in the way of invention and
improvement, baked mud, the Oldest
and rudest of all building materials.
remains the only one that can be CALL
ed indestructible by fire. It would be
amazing, had we not learned from
previous experience to expect it, that
the splendid structures, built in modern
times SO securely that their owners did
not even think it worth while to take
out insurance upon them, melt and dis
appear like snowbais when a general
conf1agration ensues.
The burned district in Baltimore
proves this conclusively. There is no
better or safer structure known to tho
builders art than the splendid Office
pulldlngs Within the devastated area.
They were what is known as absolutely
"freproof." They stood there in their
pride without anything apparently COM
bustible about Them magnifcently solid
in their marble or granite fronts and
braced within by stout steel frames
The flames licked these up as If thew
were mere heaps of oil-saturated wood.
Marble and granite disintegrate and
practically explode under such temper-
atures as a fire like this produces.
Metallic frames first expand under the
fierce tension and then melt into shane
less masses of metal. An entire struc-
ture of the kind called ffreproof. and
which is fireproof under all conceivable
conditions but one, can no more with
stand the fierce attacks of a general
confiagration than if it were a house
of cards.
The important lesson Of these now
demonstrated facts should be apparent
to every city in the land. 1t certainly
Is Hot that they should give less. but

senator Hanna was better today and
tonight he is reported to be resting

ana the vital organs are said to be per-

An increased amount of nourishment

pefature went up to 103, which it has
done on three occasions, and his pulse
up to So, the highest yet recorded. The
records of both temperature and pulse
are in keeping with those ordinarily
reached in cases of irregular typhoid,
