Senator Platt. again the friend and political CO.
worker OF Benjamin B. odell. jr., will celebrate
his seventy-third birthday and the resumption of
his long discontinued Sunday school, at the
Oriental Hotel at Manhattan Beach. to-day. He
said yesterday that he would have just a few
friends and his family at dinner and that politi
cal significance would attach TO the occasion. In
this most Republican politicians do not agree with
him. for from the number and character OF his
visitors to-day they will estimate his political
strength and from that calculate the prospects of
the political firm OF "Platt & Odell.' in which
Leuuel E. Qugg is the silent partner.
No one so far has announced his intention Of at
tending Senator Patt's Sunday afternoon gathering
at the Oriental save Timothy Ia Woodruff, who in
the present condition OF affairs has automatically
declared his neutrality His visit will be to get a
little advance information the Odell-Platt COM
bination which TO decide his action. At
this Juncture his presence IN the Odell camp would
be welcomed by its leaders. since. with practically
the solid Brooklyn delegation at his back, he is
man Of considerable Importance. II necessary, ac-
rerE, Mr.. WocdruR would be put forward by the
Odel men TO stave off the denomination of Gov
ernor Higgins. At present however, Mr.. Woodruff
So known TO be so friendly with Governor Higgins
that he was mentioned prominently as the Higgins
candidate Tor state chairman, TO succeed eX-Gov
eFaor Odell- His neutrality is thought to be due in
great part to the fact that Governor Higgins has
not made known in any way, even 20 his friends,
where ne stands on the question Of denomination.
At Manhattan Beach yesterday Senator Platt ex-
aaldng up HIS work again, and emphasized his
good health and mental keenness.

When Charles F. Murhy and his agents an

'Packy" McCabe. Of Albany, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. Mr., Murphy declared
that meeting of that body would be called for the
election between July and July Is. Though the
latter date has arrived meeting has been called
and Democratic politicians are wondering lust
where the cable slipped.
Mr. Murphy, is it understood, has been in confer
in the last few days with some of the upstate
Democrats, but whether he and they could not come
to an agreement cannot be learned. Much specuIa-
ton exists as to whether he has found himself un-
able TO swing the influences he had counted on or
whether the agents with whom he was working
We're unable TO deliver the votes which he and
they had counted. Definite announcement of the

COSTLY NAVAL LESSON.
EGpensiUe Boiler Casing on T7oo
Cruisers Failed to Hold Together.
lFrom The Tribune Bureau.I


Washington July 1.-THE Navy Department
sulating material from the boilers Of the cruisers
Pennsylvania and Colorado, which were cased in
a composition made of IS per cent of powdered
magnesium and Is per cent of asbestos fibre In
the opinion of the officers of the board who in
vestigated the burning out of the boilers on
these vessels. this composition will never again
be used as boiler casing. The report of the
board has been filed with the Department by
Admiral Sigsbee.
The report relates that the burning out of the
boilers was due entirely to the fact that their
casing was insufficient. The percentage Of
powdered magnesium and asbestos fibre was de-
termined by careful investigation but an ex-
animation of the casing showed that when sub
jected to fierce heat the composition failed to
hold together. 1t was reduced to powder set
Ting to the bottom of the jacket and leaving no
protection for the greater part Of the outer
casing.
The board will recommend that far more en-
during casing be required hereafter The total
the vessels named will amount to S60OOO or
S3OOUO each. This work is now being done and
the vessels will soon go into commission
The specifications for the Colorado and the
pennsylvania did not require that the larger per-
centage of the insulating material should be of
asbestos and the composition of powdered
magnesium and asbestos fibre is much lighter in
weight the shipbuilderS preferred to use This for
insulating the boilers. The report of the hoard
will show that in the of the two cruisers

limit. and 1t was largely with the purpose OF as
