Admiral Rae Wants Machine Shop and
 Administration Building.
 Washington, Dec. 21-The most im- portant engineering problem of the present day affecting marine propulsion, in the opinion of Rear Admiral c. w. Rae, chief of the Bureau of Steam En- glneering. whose report was made pub ' lie today. Is that of the steam turbine.
 Involving. as it does, such a radical change Admiral Ras says the bureau has pursued a conservative course with regard to it. preferring to wait before adopting 1t extensively, until it had been demonstrated as unauestionably the best system of propulsion for naval purposes At the me time he says, tests and experiments have been made whenever the opportunity offered and extensive investigations of the question have been carried on.
 Tt is expected that when the three scout engines are completed and their trials have been held, comparative data of the utmost value will be obtained"
 Among the important recommenda- tions for the various navy yards and stations are the following:
 Charles navy yard, a new pattern shop and an administration building; Naval station, Key West, foundry: Pensacola. navy yard. a machine shop and an administration building; Naval station, Guantanmo. Q combined boiler and blacksmith shop.

PATRICK IS sULIxY.
Life In Prison Win Not be like DeatI
 House.


 ossinning, N. r.. Dec. zl.-ofacial notice of communication of sentence in the case of Albert T. Patrick. the con- victed murdeter of William M. Rice, an aged Texac millionaire. was receiv- cd at Sing Sing prison today.
 He probably will be moved to the main prison tomorrow from the steel cage in the death house where he has spent the last five years.
 Warden Johnson said today that he had not observed signs of ahy mental derangement In Patrick as the result of his long Imprisonment, although the fact that Patrick had been dissatisfied with the communication of his sentence instead of the grant of a full pardon had given rise to the report that his mind was unbalanced.
 Since Patrick has been in the death house he has given no trouble what over to the warden or keepers. Now, however, he is showing a dread of go- ing into the main prison as life con vict. as he will have to comply with the prison rules.
 During his long incarceration in the death house, he has had large roomy cell. has had the use of all the books and papers he desired, and has re- cetaled frequent visits from his wife. In the main prison he will be confined in the ordinary narrow cell. His read. ing will be confined to an occasional book from the prison library and ac- cording to the prison rules, the visits of his wife will be far less frequent than formerly. e
 Tn the past Patrick has been sup piled by the warden with choice meals. but hereafter he will have to be satiS- fled with the regular prison fare.

 New York. Dec. 21.--The appliea- ton of William R. Hearst to Attorney General Mayer for leave to bring an action in quo warranta against Mayor George B. Mcclellan came up on au- peal before the appellate division Of the Supreme Court today.
 The assistant corporation counsel, who appeared for the Mayor, said that Mayor Mcclellan although nominally the appellant, was not really a party in interest. The real party, he rep resented, was the Board of Elections.
 I've maintain," he said, that the title of the Mayor to his office should not be attacked indirectly in this man ner and the matter kept going so long," He said that Mir. Hearst had promised to depend upon a decent bill, but he, nevertheless, persists in keep ing the matter in the courts" /
 Mir. Shearn, for MT. Hearst, said thai it would seem absurd that Mir. McClel- Ian should spend the city's money to issue a record of 1900 printed pages and employ the city's lawyer to pros ecute an appeal In which ne had no interest He declared that it had been proven that in three out of four boxes that had been opened there mad been a fraudulent count.

 ~ tfnct Factions. cficaeo, Dec. 21.-The Tribune today says:
 The Chicago Board of Trade, the premier grain market of the world. Is in danger of splitting in twain as the result of the dissensions which for months have taken attention from the markets and made the floor of the ex- change a great debating school
 Two votes by the general member ship yesterday accelerated the move ment. which has tended toward a break in the ranks of the Board for several months Unless a radical change oc- CUTS, there will be two Boards of Trade in a few months.
 One amendment voted down provided for the filing of claims against members who are in debt and the compulsory transfer of their memberships. a The change was intended to do away with the class of members, who. in the words of an ex-President, are pos sessed only of a trading card and 8 lead pencil" 1t fs asserted that bad business had added to the number of this class until there are several hum dred of them all trying to live off the efforts of others to bring traffic there.
 The vote showed that there was little hope to give creditors a chance to col feet out of the memberships of debtors, for 5S6 votes against the change, while only 123 favored 1t.
 Then another amendment by which members out of town would be permit ted to vote by proxy instead of person went the same way, the vote on this proposition being G3e against 75 for.
 The two votes showed that the local traders were in absolute control of the Board and were certain to elect their ofiicers a tthe eIeeIion now close at hand. For the first time in several months the members, gstowea sohe unan4fnfty and it was all against the strong private wire houses and eleva- tor men.

 Porto Rico.
 Chicago, Dec. 21.--A dispatch to The Tribune from Washington says: In spite of the Presidents commen- dation, no citizenship for the people of Porto Rico will be granted by this Congress and probably not by the next one either.
 The leaders both in the House and Senate have come to the conclusion that the time is not yet ripe for such action. They have presented the mat ter to the President and he is now aware that his recommendation in this regard will not be acted upon.
 There are said to be grave matters of public policy involved which might be seriously complicated if citizenship should be granted at thls particular time to the people of Porto Rice. general understanding, therefore, has been arrived at that the political con- ditlons not only of Porto Rico. but of Hawaii and the Philippines will not be seriously altered for some years to come so far as their relations with this country are concerned

Gallery Play.
 New York. Dec. 21.--Dr. Schmarja Levin. of Wilma, Russia, a member of the Duma dissolved by the emperor said here yesterday that the bill of the Russian council of ministers pur- porting to give Russian Jews liberties within the pale settlements of fifteen provinces in Western Russia and re- ported in dispatches from St Peters burg. as having been approved by the emperor. December IS, was q fraud on public sentiment.
 It gives no rights, he asserts, which the Jews of Russia did not have prior to 1882, or any rights of which they would care today to avail themselves of. Its purpose, he said. is solely to effect public opinion favorably outside of Russia
 Dr. Levin explained that although the measure permits Jews living in cities within the pale to live in villages, if the Jews were to move from the cities to the country, such property as they might acquire and their lives would be in constant danger.
