USE RICE STRAW
Car shipped 10 New York 10 be Used
For Packing.

The use of rice straw as substitute
for excelsior or any other straw for
packing purposes may become an i'm
portant industry and may add much
to to the wealth of the rice farmer.
The Matagorda, Texas J County Trib-
une gives hint of these things in the
following concerning a shipment of
straw to New York:
-. G. LeBourgeois of New Orleans,
who maintains headquarters here dur
ing the threshing season, for several
years has conducted quite successful
business in the shipment and sale of
rice straw to the various fruit COM
panies of New Orleans, for use in the
packing of bananas, etc. Realizing
that this purpose is not the only one
for which it is adapted and that on
account of its nature, it is much better
than any other straw Of excelsior, he
has made an experimental shipment of
one car to New York City, the outcome
of which is awaited here with much in
tereSt.

BLACK EYE FOR TAMMsNy
Election of Mcclellan Was
Merely a Personal Triumph.
Republican Party CONTROLS Board OF
Aldermen. Jerome Heads Depart
ment OF Justice and IRmrneuy
Loses Its Prestige.

George B. McClelal is reelected
mayor of New York Git, by a plurali-
ity so small as to make his rict0ryOn-
ly personal triumph for himself, in
its moral effect smashing defeat for
Tammany Hall, rich to OverHowing
with party Significance. The anti-boss
independent sentiment of the voters Of
the city represented by the municipal
ownership ticket completely Obliterat-
ed party lines. left Mr.. Iyens, the re-
publican nominee for mayor, humil-
iating third, and very nearly swamped
the combined vote of Tammany Hall
and the business republicans.
William Travers Jerome is elected
district attorney by small plurality
in one of the most remarkable and
dramatic campaigns in history, and in
spite of being mixed up in a four-cor-
nered fight, which gave him the triple
handicap of machine opposition,
treachery, influential circles aud the
extreme difficulties OF having many
more than 100000 voters lntelligently
split their votes,
More than that, the board of alder
men is practically in control of the re-
publicans, most of whose candidates
won by virtue of being indorsed by
the municipal ownership party. This
has been almost foregone conclusion
ever since the republicans stole a
march on Tammany by getting the in
dorsement of the independent organi-
cation. Such a barren triumph at the
polls was never accepted by pOliti-
cal party in this city. Tammany loses
the keystone of its arch in New York
through the defeat of James w. Os-
borne by VIM. T. Jerome. The adj
ministration of justice will thus be in
Independent and fearless hands.

WHIRLPOOL IN HARBoR.

A most interesting sight was wit
messed from the Bund this afternoon.
For an hour heavy bank of clouds
had been hanging over the water just
outside the breakwater, and about
quarter past five a long gray spiral
sank slowly down towards the water.
As it approached the surface the sea
became violently disturbed and a
swirling cone gradually rose until there
was one long swirling pillar of water
and spray from the surface of the sea
up to the cloud. The pillar remained
for short time and then parted, one
half settling down and the other grad
aally rising. The lower part continued
10 whirl and gradually moved off, pass
ing close TO the Japanese ship lying
outside. Fortunately no small Graf
were in the immediate neighborhoot
and no casualties occurred. - JapaI

BRooKLYN TO BE CHANGED.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Anent the
United States armored cruiser Brook

navy yard for thirty days repairs, the
announcement has just leaked out that
abe famous old fighting ship, which
bore the brunt of the lighting at the
battle of Santiago and recently brought
abe body of John Paul Jones from
France TO this country, is likely soon
to be extensively altered at the ex-
pense of between 100000 and $1,000
The Brooklyn is called old" not be-
cause so many years have passed over
her. but because SO rapid is the ad-
vance in naval construction that
month nowadays practically counts for
a year of the past The fact is that
the Brooklyn is less than ten years
old. She was put in commission on
December /. 1896, and just in time to
get well shaken down" before the out
break of the Spanish war. When COM
pleted the Brooklyn was considered the
highest type of armored cruisers. She
was built specially for commerce de-
stroying and speed was the great thing
sought in her construction. This was
successfully accomplished, and on her
trial trip the Brooklyn surpassed the
contract speed.
The official speed of the Brooklyn
WAS 2l.9 knots an hour. which is the
speed of the ocean greyhounds of to-
day, although some of the latter now
and then surpass that figure. rhe lat
est cruisers, like the Maryland, Colo
RADIO and Pennsylvania, do not much
exceed this speed. 1t is in the battery
emplacements, the arrangement of the
armor and the weight that the latest
cruisers surpass the Brooklyn more
