Pretty Gir1s Gone Republican.

The Washington Star is perfectly right
in intimating that all the pretty girls
have gone Republican when it says:

Candidate and Platform.

This years presidential election will
not be won by any formal platform. The
Republican platform is good, but the Re-
publican candidate is better. The truth
is Mr.. Roosevelt is the real platform
for both parties. He is the main point
Of attack by the Democrats and the main
source OF strength for the Republicans.
He would be elected without any plat
form except the record Of the party and
his own.

METAL LIFE PREsERvERS.
Proposed to Replace Those Made OF
Cork

Metal life preservers, to take the places
of the old cork affairs, which frequently
prove worthless, may be the innovation rec
commended for the use of steamboats, ply
ing the water of the United States by the
supervising steamboat inspectors, who meet
here tomorrow in special session.
Models of these preservers will, at any
rate be examined by the board Of inspect
ors, an appointment to that effect having
been made by G. P. Van Wye of New YORK,
attorney for the inventor, whose name Is
held secret, with George Uhler, supervising
inspector general.
Seamless drawn copper, or brass, are
preferably used in the manufacture or the
preservers, though tin treated with cop
per coating, japanned or enameled may
also be used. The preserver is made OF
eight regulation-size compartments, joined
together by ladder chain or metal tape.
1t is very flexible and Is worn as are the
cork ones now in general use.
Mr. Van Wye claims there Is nothing
about the invention to get out OF order,
that it will not readily rot and that 1t is as
simply adjusted as are the ones with which
pie, immersion in water readily detecting
punctures and the attorney has said that
the inventor, with a crude preserver of this
kind floated for hours day after day dur
ing the past summer in the waters off the
Long Island coast, where the seas were
frequently high. AT the end OF the season
he claims that the preserver, though badly
battered, was still perfect for the purpose
of supporting a person in the water, and
that two of the eight compartments fioated
the inventor with ease.

TWO WEEKS MORE OF WORK.
Claims of the Two National Com
mittees-The Betting Odds.

The work of two remaining weeks of the
presidential campaign will be conducted by
both republicans and democrats principally
in New York, New Jersey, West Virginia,
Indiana and the Rocky mountain states.
The democratic managers are puzzled by
the betting odds against their candidate
and the strength of the stock market, as
they assert that Parker will be elected
The betting in New York is 10 to 21a in ia
vor of Roosevelt.
The republican national committee in New
York is claiming 81 votes. as follows: Cali

Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North
Dakota, Ohio. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. South Dakota, Utah, Washington
West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming
They concede to the democrats the solid
south, making 151 electoral votes, and place
Maryland in the doubtful column
The claims of the democrats include, in
addition to the solid south, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Mary
land. Montana, Nevada. New Jersey, New
York. Utah and West Virginia, which
makes total of democratic claims of 25s

WANTS TO KEEP GOOD CLERKS.
The Postmaster General Not Favorable
to Practice of Transfers.

Transfers to the Post Office Department
are not looked upon with favor by Post
master General Wynne, the first considera-
ton being the good of the service. In sew
eral of the divisions there are requests for
transfer by clerks who have attained the
height of their possible salaries and who
realize that there is no future for them IN
that particular division.
1t is these whom the Postmaster General
has to turn down, much as he may regret
that course of action, and there is small
likelihood that good clerk will be able to
effect a transfer unless he can show great
er cause for it than mere desire for more
salary or an opportunity to enter division
where there is a better chance to rise.
Good clerks are not over plentiful in any
business, and the new Postmaster General
Is not beginning his administration of the
office by handicapping himself in letting
good clerks go to other departments or
changing them around in his own.

TO SAIL FROM PENSACOLA.
Secretary Taft Will Go on the Column
bia to Colon.

The Navy Department has determined
that Secretary Taft's visit to Panama shall
start from Pensacola instead of Tampa, as
was originally projected. The reason for
the change is that the big Columbia which
is to carry the party, cannot safely enter
Tampa harbor because of her great draft.
The party expects to start from Pensacola
on the 14th and the Columbia win be

The national board for the promotion of

awards for the Fort Riley contest. The
New Jersey team made protest against
these awards on account of the time limit
for long distance firing, but it was not sus-
tanned. The board decided to press for
legislation by Congress authorizing the War
Department to pay the expenses of rife
teams attending the contests, to encourage
the building of rifle ranges in various parts
of the country and to authorize the sale of

correctly not can only be conjectured,
that immediate and continued efforts would
be made by the Japanese to prevent the
Baltic fleet from reaching it's objective
point in the far east. According to this
information the Russian fleet would be in
danger from the moment its long voyage
began, and Admiral Rojestvensky, the COM
mander- r-in-chief of the Baltic command, was
warned to be on the lookout for u hostile
demonStra ton in neutral waters. Count
Cassni frankly admitted this today
Il know he said, that our fleet officers
had been cautioned in the mcst impressive
rarner to maintain the st1ictest vigilance
on the whole voyage to the far east, from
beginning to end, in neutral waters and on
the high seas because of anticipated at
tScks from Japanese sources 1t may be
possible that in the darkness of the night,
the failure of the fishing vessels to reply to
signals from the warships, the refusal to
heave to when ordered to do SO, or a mis-
understanding of the situation by the mas
ters of the trawlers, strengthened in the
nil DIS of the Russian commanders the sus-
pic;on of torpedo or mine attack. The mis-
take was a terrible ore.'
Unaccountable Persistence
Count Cassini confessed that he could not
understand, however, how it was that the
Russian commanders did not learn their
mistake at once. According to press dis
patches from Hull the Russian vessels fired
on the fishing fleet for twenty minutes, and
this is the one important statement in the
newspaper accounts of the affair that the
Russian ambassador, in the absence of Off
cal information from his government, is
inclined to doubt. He expressed himself
emphatically today on one point however.
stating that in the event of the affair hav-
lag occurred substantially as reported Great
Britain would not find it necessary to de-
mand an apology or draw up an ultimatum,
but would find both reparation and apology
rendered by the Russian government as
soon as the matter had been officially re-
ported to st. Petersburg. The ambassador
declined to discuss the probable punishment
of the officers of the Russian fleet who
were responsible for the firing on the fishing
vessels and the ensuing loss of life, but ad-
mitted that this would probably be part
of the reparation demanded by England.

Count Cassini Declares That if Facts
Are as Published His Country
Will Promptly Apologize.

Official confirmation of the disastrous mr.
ing by the Russian Baltic fleet upon the
British fishing fleet in the North sea came
to the State Department this morning in
the shape of short cablegram from United
States Consul Hamm, at Hull, England.
This town is the home of the fishing fleet
in large part, and naturally the blow
would be most severely felt there. So the
consul reports that the greatest excitement
prevails, but while he recorded the sinking
of one of the fishing vessels. the loss of
two lives and the wounding of several fish
ermen he added no details whatever to the
extended press reports published in the
morning papers.
