There is a belief here that President
Eoosevelt's tribute to the work Of Gen.
Leonard Wood IN Cuba in connection
with mis- remarks about the Panama ca
nal in the address made yesterday at
oyster Bay possesses greater signifi-
canoe than appears on the surface.
Sorne persons are inclined to think
that the President has IN mind appoint
ing General Wood to a special mission
to 20 to Panama and investigate condi-
tions lhere.
There has alreadv been some specula-
ton as 70 the real cause for General
Woods homecoming. The Presidents s
address has set the theorists guessing
in new direction. 1t would not be i'm
possible to detach General Wood from
his cor.mand in the Philippines for spe-
ciaI service, and plase for him in
Panama might be found If the Presiden:
deemed it desirable.
Woods High Rank an Objection.
An objection TO n plan OF this kind
Is General Woods high official rank.
Under the present organization OF the
canal government Judge Charles Z. Ma
goon is the supreme authority. holding
the office of both governor and minister.
Wood, should he be detailed for special
service on the isthmus, would care TO be
subject TO Governor Magoon's orders.
Under possible arrangement General
Wood might be detailed as a coadjutor
OF Governor Magoon IN recommending
certain plans for improving health con-
ditions on the isthmus.
President Roosevelt attributed the
great work of cleansing Cuba to Gen
eral Woods service. 1t is possible that
General Wood might be placed above
Colonel Gorgas, now the chief sanitary
officer of the isthmus, and General Wood
given complete charge Of all the sani-
tary work with Colonel Gorgas as his
subordinate. This was the relation OF
the two officers In Cuba.
Deprecates Jealousy.
The Presidents remarks were made In
an address to the Associated Pilgrims
of Long Island. He said, in part, In
reference TO General Wood:
We have not been able to reward
Wood IN anything like the proportion
that services such as his would have
been rewarded in any other country OF
the first rank in the world. and there

Chief StZtistican Hyde was asked this

LONDON, July 13.-The Daily Tele-

respondent at Vienna, saying that pri-
vate letters received in Vienna from st.
Petersburg state that the police have
discovered a plot to blow up the castle
of IIfnskoje, near Moscow, where the
Car and imperial family had planned
to stop during the coming visit OF the
Emperor to that city.
1t is reported that go pounds of dyna-
mite were found in q cellar, connecting
by a subterranean passage with room
directly under the apartments which had
been set apart for the Cars use.
Many arrests of persons suspected of
being connected with the plot have been
made. including two engineers who had
charge of the cleaning and preparation
of the apartments of the castle.
The Car is reported to have given up
the idea of staying at Ilinskoje since the
discovery of the plot.

In that mill he said, "the feed for
my 1000 turkeys is ground. The

DOGS ON. POLICE FORCE.
Animals Have Become an Important
Auxiliary of the Philadelphia
Department.

The Philadelphia police are using
dogs as helpers in their work. They
have found that the famous st. Ber-
nard dogs can be easily trained to dis
cover unconscious men in alleywayS
or doorways or under wagons, who,
because of drink are succumb1ng to
the cold, and if left uncared for would
soon be beyond recovery, says the
World of To-day.
Returning to his master, the dog
speedily gives the policeman to under
stand that he is needed, by dragging
at his coat until he follows him TO the
place where the unfortunate man is
lying. And not until the latter has
been transferred to the ambulance or
the patrol wagon will the dog give
his attention to other things.
With their marvelouSly keen scent
these dogs are quick to detect the
smell of fire, and therefore 1t mas
been easy to teach them to give warn
ing to the police whenever they ferret
out the presence of an incipient con-
f1agration One dog. named Rex, has
discovered no less than five fires be-
lore a sign OIL udu leFSdICu IHO
danger to the watchman. Discovered
thus early, while still in a smoldering
condition, the fire was easily quenched,
and thousands of dollars worth or
property thereby saved.
The st. Bernard dogs are also ef-
fective in the recovery of lost children.
A little training has taught them that
a crying child in the midst OF a group
of people is probably lost, and they
have several times brought to the sta
ton house some little boy or girl who
has strayed away from home or
friends.
The dog police auxiliary has not yet
been officially recognized in Phila-
delphia but it is nevertheless very
efficient branch of the service. The
demonstration of the ability of the
dogs and the interests of public safety
may lead in the future to the use of
the ST. Bernards in other cities and
towns as adjuncts to the police force

INDIAN DETECTIVE TRICKS.
When There Is Any Money in Sight
They Stop at Nothing
to Get It.

A recently published book on India
tells of a native detective whose
methods were anything but scrupulous.
One important matter investigated was
a robbery of about haif lakh OF
rupees worth of silver ingots (about
$25 000) that was sent down on camels
with an escort of Is armed men from
Indore to Kotah. The escort was
killed by Dacoits and the silver taken.
Isri Pershad, the oriental Sherlock
Holmes, raSseldar major of a native
regiment, made it his business to
bring these men to justice, and when
asked in after years how he obtained
his proofs remarked, smilingly, StrOk-
ing his beard, that if a man was judi
ciously strung up, spread-eagle wise,
by his thumbs, much useful infor1na-
ton might be extracted, and having
no marks of ill-treatment to show to
the sahibs he generally held his
tongue Of a certain witness in this
case he wrote that he had given
'awfully good evidence at the trial,
but as there was just little dis
crepancy' between this and his pre-
vious depositions before the political
agent when the original files were
called for by the higher court, it
would be better to omit this one and
say it had been eaten by white ants !"
