Doves in Play and in Combat.

An Englisllnian, Edmond selous'
has been watching doves at play and
in combat. OF the habit Of billing
in which SO many birds engage when
they are nesting, he says: When
birds now merely BILL they once, in
my opinion, fed each other-or the
male fed the female-but pleasure
came to be experienced in the contact
alone and the passage Of food, which
was never necessary, gradually be-
came obsolete. | think it by no
means improbable that u own kiss
ing may have originated in much the
same way; and that birds, when thus
Milling experience the same sort OF
pleasure that We do when we kiss
must be quite obvious to any enc who
has watched then.-New York

CUTTING Trees by Electricity,

It is reported in the German press
that successful experiments have been
made In various forests of France in
cutting trees by means Of electricity.
| 4 platinum wire is heated to a white
heat by an electric current and used
like a saw. In this matter the tree
Is felled muCh easier and quicker than
in the old way; no sawdust Is pro-
duced. and the slight carbonizatiop
caused by Tie hot wire acts as a pre-
sentative Of the wood. The new meth
Cd is said to require only one-eighth
c. the time consumed by the old saving
process.
Some day this system will doubtless
ind q trial in the United States, OF
course it is necessary to provide a
source Of electricity, and unless the
latter is cheap the operation just de-
scribed would not be economical. How
ever, nearly all district in which TIM
Der is cut are provided with streams,
and these can often be utilized for
power. Only q small head would be
necessary for this purpose. America
has been so ~enterprising in the ap-
plication of electricity to industry that
1t is wonderful that another country
should have had a chance to anticipate
It In airy manner. The consular report,
In which the news is c5nTeyad, sup
plies no details, however, and it Is
impossible to say how extensively the
plan has been adopted.

BRAUN INCIDENT CLOSED.
Policeman Who Arrested the Inspector
Has Been Punished.

The case of Marcus Braun, the special
States who was subjected to bad treatment
by the Hungarian state officials has been
practically closed, according to an an
nouncement made at the State Department
today. The police officer of Budapest who
arrested Mr.. Braun, when the latter up
braided him for tampering with his mail
has been discharged and punished Mr.
Braun was on a semi-secret mission to Aus
tria-Hungary, under orders of the commits
soner general of immigration He went
to Austria Hungary in February to make
investigation there relative to emigra-
ton from that country to this. From the
first his movements were watched and ac-
cording to his reports, he was insulted and
subjected to decidedly improper treat
ment
Full details of the settlement reached at
Vienna, where Bellamy Storer, the Ameri-
can ambassador, and the Austro- o-Hungaria
government officials have been working on
the case, have not been received at the
State Department. Mr.. Braun will be or
dered out of Austria-Hungary by his chiefs
here, and will probably be sent to some
other post. Baron Karl Won Giskra, charge
d'affaires for Austria Hungary here, con-
ferred with Acting Secretary Loomis to-
day.
He said that he was sure the whole mat
ter would be settled satisfactorily. While
Amba aSSador Storer has not reported the
government has probably
expressed its regret that the Braun Incl

DISORDERS AT WARSAW
JEWISH SOCIALISTS BEHIND THE
LATEST DISTURBANCES.

WARSAW, May 25.-The Jewish disorders
here last night arose from an attempt of
the Jewish socialist organizat ton. called the
bund, to purge the Hebrew district of War
saw of all disreputable persons The bund-
ties, with the view to exDelling their unde-
sirable co-religionists, commenced to wreck
dsorderly houses, cafes and other resorts.
The fighting spread to the surrounding
streets, continued until midnight and recon-
menced this morning. Occasional clashes
are still occurring.
The bundites have been permitted to car
ry on the work of destruction without any
interference on the part of the authorities
Not a single policeman was visible. Occa-
sionally patrol of gendarmes dispersed the
crowds, which, however, were Immediately
permitted to gather again. There has been
considerable bloodshed, and many injured
students have been taken to the hospitals
Fourteen of those wounded last night are
reported to be dying.

and emphasized his desire to have the
party stand together fo rthe adoption of
the Constitutional amendment passed at
the last session of the state legislature and
which Governor Edwin Warfield refused to
promulgate until the court of appeals had
passed upon its legality.
The proposed amendment, which is to be
voted on by the people in November, prac-
tically disfranchises so per cent of the col
ored voters In addition. it is feared that
1t will also cut out hundreds of white votes,
especially in the mining regions of Allie
gany and Garret counties. For this rea-
son there is bitter opposition to it among
many white democrats in those counties
and it will be hard for the leaders to whip
them into line.
There will be no other issue in the Cam
paign in this state this year. 1t is believed
that the amendment will be carried in
the state by about 5000 majority, but de-
feated by the foreign vote in Baltimore
city.

day. Upon reaching his Office he resumed
his conferences with the various ward
leaders.
Guards at City Offices.
Mayor Weaver arrived early at his Office,
but he had nothing to say as to what new
moves might be expected during the day
David ]. Smith, director of public safety,
and Peter E. Costello, director of public
works, who were removed by Mayor Weav-
er, are in charge of their offices.
Col. Sheldon Potter, the uewly-appointed
director of public safety, appeared at the
directors office, but stated that ii was not
his intention to take charge a. yet. He
merely wanted to look over his mail, he said
He spent about five minutes in the office
with Mr.. Smyth and then wen. to the office
of the mayor, with whom he was closeted
for some time.
A. Lincoln Aker the new director of public
works, did not appear at the city hall his
morning, and 1t was stated there that he
wdS not expected during the day. Fourteen
citizens of the forty-second ward today
called upon George w. Boyer, selec. coun-
Gilman from that ward and received his
promise to sustain the mayor when he We
toes the gas lease resolution. Mr.. Boyer
voted for the lease.
Mayor Weaver has taken forcible possess
sion of the offices of director of public
safety and director of publ; works. Nei-
ther Director Smyth nor Director Costello
offered serious resistance. Four detectives
are now on guard at the offices.
Threat to Impeach Weaver.
1t Is rumored this afternoon that the re-
publican organization leaders intend to
impeach Mayor Weaver. With this end in
view 1t is said, a special meeting of select
council will be called for tomorrow after
noon for this purpose. In the event of the
Impeachment of the Mayor President of Sc
lect Council Harry C. Ransey, who is the
Organization candidate for sheriff, will
act as mayor for sixty days. Meanwhile
special election for mayor will be held and
a new mayor chosen for the regular four
year term. Malfeasance in office is the
ground upon which tie Impeachment pro-
ceedings will be based. The Organization"
leaders claim they have proof to sustain
the charges
