But the secretary's hand had closed

about 1t afterward, bystanders swore
they noticed a change come over his
face. Just as if said one. ''he got
some kind OF message from the thing

So the rabbits foot became an object
of admiration wherever the faithful

made TO him for the loan or sale of it,

Batteships or Gunboats.

Washington. ID. c., Nov. 23. Naval
officers are looking forward with keen
interest to the recommendation upon
which Secretary Bonaparte is at work
respecting the increase of the navy.
He is known to favor battleships and
torpedo boats. and il is expected ho
viii be influenced by the naval senti-
ment which seems now to be against
any other type of ships, especially the
old time commerce oestroyers and gun
boats. 1t is held among some of the
Seer c+sry's advisers that the service
has enough of the ships of the armored
cruiser and the gunboat class, and rs
an evidence of this examples are given
of the policy of sending 10 the navy
yards the ships of such types which
are considered as no longer available
for duty. In nearly every case where
it has been question of the repair of a
ship of war of the intermediate type.
the department has determined there
shall be only such work done as will
prevent the ship from deteriorating
and no provision is made for restoring
the ship for active duty. With this
state of affairs .he Secretary. he is
likely to accept the view that the ser
vice shall be maintained by having
battleships and torpedo boats provided
for in the next naval bill.

Want Change In Tariff,
Special Dispatch to Evening CAPITAL.

Washington, ID. O.. Nov. 23.-
Every day hundreds of letters are re-
oeived by President Roosevelt asking
him to insert certain recommendations
to Congress in his annual message
Among the requests which President
Roosevelt received and is now consid-
ering, is one from Governor Douglas,
of f!Massachusetts, recommending legis.
lation looking to the removal of the
tariff ON hides and a change in the
foreign relations of this country. It
is understood that the request of Gov
ernor Douglas is due to the fact that
the Leather Trust has threatened to
advance the price of sole leather. This
would mean a serious blow to the
shoe industry of this country and
would be particularly felt in the State
of Massachusetts, where the shoe in
dustry has reached the greatest De.
velopment.
