FORMIDABLE SHIPS
 SECRETLY BUILDING
The British Constructing Three Oth-
 CTS Equal to the Dreadnaught.

London, Oct. 10.-The Daily Tele- graph today says that the three armored cruisers under construction the InfleXible and Indomitable on the Clyde, and the Invincible at Elswick. about which much secrecy has been maintained by the admiralty. are in reality battleships of as heavy broad side fire as the Dreadnaught, but very much faster.
 These vessels will in fact be tn most wonderful specimens ever built for any navy. in that they will have greater offensive power than any bat tleships now in commission in any fleet in the world. combined with ex- traordinary speed, far in excess of anything hitherto attained.

WONDERFUL INVENTION
 FOR BUSINESS WORLD
New Device for Talking and Writing
 by Machinery.

The telegraphone is a new invention that seems destined to again revolu- tionize business methods, just as the typewriter, telephone and other mod ern inventions did in turn. Much has been printed recently about the tele- graphone, which is an European in vention and is now in practical use in the old country to some extent. It has only been heard of though except in technical descriptions and telegraph reports, either as news or as advertis- ing.
 V. c. Norris, of this city, himself an electrician, has been looking into the merits of the machine however. and has decided in his own mind that it is practicable and that it will before long come into general use. He has secured the agency for it. though he has no machines yet, and may not have for some time as the company can yet manufacture them only on a limited scale. Its methods of doing business however, are unique and show that the company has faith in the invention. The plan is to list every order when re- ceiVed and number it. filling the or ders as fast as the machines can be made, sending them express prepaid. subject to a months use and at the end of that time, if the machines are unsatisfactory they may be returned and the prospective buyer is not out a cent It may be months before any of the machines will be available. but MT. Norris hopes to have one here by fair time.

Our Public Schools.

An interesting letter from Superintendent
Chancellor concerning the school situation
is printed elsewhere in The Star and will
undoubtedly receive the careful consdera-
ton Of the people OF Washington.
The well-recognized intent of the new
school law was that the existing teaching
force. with specified exceptions, was to be
accepted as whole by the new superin-
tendent as the instrument with which he
should work out good results for the COM
munity. The thought was that he would
take time to study this force and learn for
himself, uninfiuenced by factional whisper
ings, Its strength and its weaknesses: that
he would get in touch with all the constitu-
ents OF the army of civilians under his COM
mand: that he would by word of advice OF
direction improve discipline in this or that
school. and perhaps relieve discipline from
hurtful rigidity In some other school; and
as he gradually convinced himself that this
or that officer or teacher was hopelessly
unfit he would proceed formally and legally
under the great powers given by the law
to rid the schools OF the incompetent or the
unworthy. The obvious intent Of the Law
is that even in respect to these removals
there shall be fair play, q statement of the
fault charged and an opportunity to be
heard In defense, though defense be un-
awaiting. The provision of the law that an
Investigated teacher shall have the right to
be attended by counsel and by at least one
friend is futile and foolish II 1t does not by
inference require that an investigation or
hearing shall be granted prior to removal.
The new law formally eliminates by omis-
sion the director OF high schools. The spirit
OF the law would. however, suggest to the

Carfare in Vienna.

It may be that the privately owned street
railway systems of the District of Colum-
bia have something to learn from the city
owned systems in Europe. but it is doubt
full. The fact is not apparent. It seems to
cost more to ride there than 1t does here.
The Vienna car system is ordinarily spoken
Of as the model municipal system. Before
o'clock In the morning the fare. for the
benefit Of workmen. is only cents for any
distance. After that hour the fare is
cents mile, or fraction of mile. If this
rate prevailed In Washington 1t would cost
about a quarter to ride from the center of
the city to the navy yard and back. about
the same amount to get to Georgetown and
back. and there would be a big jump in
the care fare bill of jewellers in far north
and northeast Washington.

The law does not eliminate the Office of as

Superintendent Chancellor in his letter TO
The Star says: For myself believe that
they the great body of teachers) were con-
tinued On office by mere virtue of the leg
isation.'
The Star has criticised the superintendent
on the assumption that he entertained ex-
actly the opposite opinion. The Stars view
of the superintendent construction Of the
law was based upon his official acts and
declarations. and 1t does not yet sec how
these acts and this opinion can be recon-
ciled. If the teacherships were not vacated
by the law. what justification, for instance,
was there for examinations to fill alleged
vacancies In principalships? 1t is not con-
tended that the incumbents had been pre-
viously removed unless the law vacated
their offices. They could not attend the ex-
aminations. for that would be an admission
that the offices were vacant, and would,
perhaps. be equivalent to a resignation.
Under these conditions examinations to
fill positions which the law had already sup
piled with occupants would seem to be UNI
fair to the incumbents and invalid in law.
and all actions based upon them would be
apparently irregular and unlawful. Would
not true observance of the spirit Of the law
and of the principle of fair play require
that whatever has been inconsiderately and
unlawfully done be undone and that what
ever changes are considered necessary in
the force be brought about in accordance
strictly with the requirements of the law?
To make arbitrary removals now. without
charges and hearing. in order to validate
past acts which were legal only on the
theory that these removals had already
been made would surely be criticised as an
evasion or perversion Of the law, worse in
some respects than its open violation.

President Roosevelt and Cuba.

In the character Of his special commits
sioner quite as much as in the tone of his
letter to Minister Quesada, President
Roosevelt shows his profound respect for,
and sympathy with the Cuban people in
their present difficulties. Judge Taft is ad-
mirably qualified in every way for his mis-
sion. A lawyer. a diplomat, a leveI-headed
man Of affairs. he should prove as valuable
an adviser in the case of Cuba as he proved
In that of the Philippines and in that of
Panama He Is friend of Cuba. He stands
with the President in wishing the island
well. and he will weigh all matters pre-
scented to him with view of assisting in a
solution of the existing trouble which will
bring benefit to the whole Cuban popula-
ton.
The bare announcement of Mr.. Roose-
velt's action should have a good effect In
Cuba-shouid have the effect Of calling a
sort of truce between the contending fac
tons. President Palma has every conf
deRce in the friendship OF the American peo-
pie. while the other side we'll understands
that II Uncle Sam is forced to the task of
restoring order he will do it with all the
force necessary. Ships and soldiers are at
hand in numbers sufficient to complete the
job in comparatively short time. We
learned some things from observing the
Spanish dawdling both in Cuba and the
Philippines, and our course would in every
way be different.
The message of President Palma to the
Cuban congress is couched in good terms
and describes a situation which should ap-
peal to the patriotism of the best element
of his countrymen. He frankly confesses
that the government, desiring peace and
laboring to promote all ends of business
and prosperity, was unprepared for war
and was taken at a disadvantage by the
present uprising. The congress in prompt
ly voting him all necessary supplies'to put
down the revolt by force has acquitted it.
self well, and henceforth there should be a
different story to tell. If Judge Taft, after
an investigation of matters as affected by
this step of the Cuban congress, should
advise against American Intervention. the
Cuban government, redoubling it's efforts
and seeing nothing but war ahead, should
fire in its own defense the last shot in
the locker.
AS it took fighting to establish the Gu
ban republic the friends of the republic
should fight to preserve 1t. Force is be-
hind all governments worthy the name;

thought too little of force. with this re-
minder of its value he should not hesitate
to employ all that may be available to In

Smith, though not now In Office, is still

In New York Mr.. Bryan met and frater-

corporation work as Mr.. Sullivan. and who
outside of their corporation connections
possess no influence whatever in politics
Some of them had supported him In both OF
his races for President, and now are cheer

AS Mr.. Bryan declines Mr.. Sullivan's chal-
