SAILORS WANr NEW UNIFORM.
Naval Committee Considering Entire
Change Of Costume.

New York, Aug. 9.-The jack tars
Of the United States navy have made
such a mighty protest against the
time-honored headgear and blouse
they wear ashore and on dress occa-
sions aboard ship that the navy de-
partment has appointed a committee
to decide on changes in the uniform.
Captain Hugo Osterhaus, commander
of the battleship Connecticut, is
chairman of this committee. Captain
Osterhaus has sent out statement
to the captains of all warships in the
North Atlantic squadron and to the
commander of every ship in the SER
vice, asking for suggestions.
The enlisted men are desirous of
obtaining coats and visor caps. Many
of them want the wide f1aring trous-
ers changed into the ordinary pat
tern. But the chief grievance relates
to the blouses and the oldfashioned
pancake caps. These caps are said
by all seamen to be absolutely useless
on a windy day, as they cannot be
kept on the head. They afford no
shade to the eyes and seem to exist
merely as a relic of the past.
The protest over the blouse is con-
sidered well justified in the navy. In
the first place the seamen object to
the wide collar, which blows up
around their ears on windy days.
They want shorter neckerchiefs and
coats but like those of marines.
Should the sailors demands be
granted, it would be the first time in
the history of the American navy
that seamen have worn coats.

Record-Herald polar expedition has
been hampered greatly by a high
wind, which at times became a vio-
lent gale. threatening the balloon
house. The damage done has been
repaired and as arrangements now
have been perfected and the appara-
tus has been found to work most
satisfactorily. it is hoped, unless fur
ther accidents occur. to start for the
pole about the middle of August.

Would Send Guilty Ones to JaiI-Pro-
poses to Proceed Against Super
iors in Violations of Anti Trust
Law Whenever He Can Be Hope
ful of Conviction.

New York, Aug 8.-A special dis
patch to the New York Times from
Lenox, Mass, sent under today's date
says:
That criminal prosecutions will be
taken in the near future as result
of the Interstate Commerce investi-
cation of the Hartman railroad sys-
TEN was the information obtained
here upon authority this afternoon on
the virtual eve of the return of At
torney General Bonaparte to Wash
dngton.
Mr.. Bonaparte was asked if action,
personally, against individuals would
be included in the prosecutions. He
replied somewhat emphatically: Il
have noticed a good many complaints
that criminal prosecutions against
trust magnates and sentences of i'm
prisonment for them have been very
lnfrequent and, in fact, for practical
purposes unknown. 1t Is perfectly
true that, in my opinion at least,
better moral effect would be pro-
duced by sending a few prominent
men to Jail than by a great deal or
litigation, however successful, against
the corporations they controlled.
Some time since two corporations
and their respective presidents were
indicted jointly for violation of the
antitrust law. If the corporations
were guilty of such, it would be hard
for the lay mind, at least, to see how
their presidents could be innocent.
Nevertheless the jury convicted the
corporations and acquitted their
presidents.
ut is the avowed purpose of the
department Of justice to prosecute
criminally any one who is really re-
sponsible for violations of the anti
trust law, wherever it can do so with
any reasonable probability of sue
cess. 1t does not care to prosecute
mere underlings who are known to
everyone to have acted under the df-
rect authority of their superiors.
"If it can get a case against any Of
the superiors such as justifies a rea-
sonable hope on the part of eXper-
fenced lawyers that he can be pun
ished personally the department will
undoubtedly take advantage of the
opportunity as soon as 1t is pre-
;sented."

Some Long Words.

The comic papers frequently poke
fun at the long words of the German
language, vet the English language can
furnish some pretty long words, too.
Here are some of the longest English
words: Subconstitutionalist. incompre-
hensibillty, honorificlbilitudinity CIT
will be noticed that this word contains
seven rs), anthropophagenaria dis
proportionableness velopipedestrianisti-
cal. transsubstantlatlona proan-
ubstantiationistical. This last
word is no doubt the longest In the En-
clish language; 1t contains thirty-three
letters.

Brakes Are Bad.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Western railway
managers are considerably agitated
by the charge that the inability OF
air-brakes now in use to control fast
trains is responsible for many wrecks
and the further intimation that they
are refusing to equip their trains
with new brakes which have been
successfully tested by the Pennsylva-
MIA system. The Westinghouse peo-
pie have perfected brake which, it
is alleged, under hard tests is so per
cent more effective than anything
now in use, but the railroads are
slow to adopt it.

For removing rust from polished
steel, an effective mixture Is made by
taking 10 parts Of tin putty, parts of
prepared buckhorn and $50 parts splr-
Its of wine. These ingredients are
mixed to a soft paste and rubbed in on
the surface until the rust disappears.
Practically all the California and
Texas fuel oils contain more or less
water, sand, asbestos, fiber and marsh
gas, says the Paint, OIL and Drug Re-
view. Some grades of oil flow freely,
while others are more viscous, even
though they have lower specific grav-
ity.
The inferior Bohemian graphite,
which is too Impure or compact for use
in pencils, Is ground fine and freed
from sulphides and other heavy min.
erals. The refined material does not
contain more than 30 or 60 per cent
of graphite, and Is used In the manu-
facture Of inferior crucibles and for
stove polish.
According to the English Mechanic,
articles Of brass or copper boiled in a
solution of stannate Of potassium mix
ed with turnings or scraps of tin In a
few moments become covered with a
firmly attached layer Of fine tin. A
similar effect is produced by boiling
the articles with tin turnings or scraps
and caustic alkali or cream of tartar.
The number of carriages and vehi-
cles of every description crOwding the
streets Of Paris augnents continually,
and the danger, not only to pedestri-
ans, but to the carriages themselves,
has become so great that an engineer,
Monsieur Henard, proposes the estab-
lishment at the most dangerous cross
ings, of circular island of refuge"
traffic in such a manner that every We
hicle traversing the crossing point, no
matter what its ultimate direction may
be, shall pass round the central plateau
in the same direction. Thus the dan
ger of collision and the peril to foot
passengers would be reduced to a mini
mum. The cut illustrates the opera
tion Of this proposed whirlpool of traf-
fc.
The interest Of astronomers In the
strange red spot, about 10000 miles in
length, which has been visible on the
surface of the planet Jupiter since
1878, Is intensified by the recent obser-
vations Of Mr.. W. F. Denning, and
others, on a remarkable change in its
rate Of motion. In a period Of about
three months last year 1t was dis
placed some 16 degrees Of longitude
from the position calculated as the ba-
sis Of its former motion. This is the
greatest change that has ever been OBJ
served In its rate of motion. On Ju-
piter the visible surface of the planet
does not revolve, like the surface Of
the earth, everywhere with the same
angular velocity, but, in general, the
parts nearest the equator move with
the greatest rapidity. Thus the huge
planet resembles a rotating ball Of con-
stanty changing clouds, and in the
midst Of these the great red spot seems
to float.

Middies on Torpedo Boats.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Orders issu-
ing from the Navy Department show
that number of midshipmen have
been placed on torpedo-boat duty.
This marks a new policy in the Navy,
showing that the Navy is deficient as
compared with foreign navies in tor
pedo-boat work. There are 60 tor
pedo-boats of various types in our
Navy, yet only 6 of them are in ac-
tive service. This has been caused
by the shortage of officers, re-
sulting from the heavy demands for
such officers for the new battleships
going into commission.

BLOODY REvEN GE.
French SIay Hundreds of Moors in
punishment for Treachery.

Tangier, Aug. Casa Blanca, on
the Moroccan coast, has been bonn
barded by French cruisers, the
Moors are reported to have been shot
down in large numbers, and the town
since last Sunday night has been
practically in the possession of land
ing parties from French and Span
ish cruisers. The first shots were
fired by the Moors. The French re-
sponded with bayonet charge and
, the bombardment of the native quar-
ter with melinite shells. The French
had six men wounded but no one
killed. No European residents were
hurt.
The occupation of Casa Blanca is
a direct outcome of the native up
rising, which resulted in the killing
last week Of eight Europeans at Casa
Blanca. Both France and Spain are
hurrying other warships with troops
and marines on board to various
points on the Moroccan coast for the
protection of foreigners.
Under the terms of the Algeciras
convention the two powers are
charged with the policing of seaports
of Morocco and their action at Casa
Blanca has brought no protest from
any power. The states of Europe
have expressed their willingness that
France and Spain restore order in
Morocco. No other countries are in
volved.
News of fighting at Casa Blanca
was brought here by the steamer
Anatole. On Saturday night the
French naval officer in command in
formed the Moorish authorities that
he was going to land force for the
protection of the French consul. Au-
thorization to do SO was given. The
force went ashore Sunday morning
at daybreak. The Frenchmen were
no sooner on the beach than they
were fired upon by Moorish soldiers
and in this first encounter the
French force sustained all its casual
ties. The Frenchmen fought their
way to the consulate and then sig
nailed the cruiser Galilee to lombard
the native quarter.
The Galilee at once opened upon
the Moors. She was joined at IL
o'clock by the French cruiser Du-
Chayla and both fired until 1000
rounds of ammunition had been ex-
pended. This fire is said to have
been disastrous to the Arabs. The
batteries on a fort at the mouth of
the harbor fired at one Of the French
cruisers, but it was quickly silenced
and reduced.
A second French landing party
went ashore and joined the first
party at the consulate. A third party
from the Spanish cruiser Don Alvara
de Bazen was landed and occupied
the Spanish consulate. The Euro
pean quarter of Casa Blanca was not
damaged.
The remainder of the European |
residents of Casa Blanca are either
at their respective consulates or have |
taken refuge on board German and
English vessel in the harbor.
France and Spain have agreed on
the terms of a French Spanish note
informing the powers signatories of
the Algeciras convention, including
the United States, of their intention
to keep within the terms of the con-
vention in dealing with the situation
in Morocco. The next measures to
be adopted depend largely upon what |
develops at Casa Blanca as a result |
Of the occupation of that town.

An emphatic Don't.

About this time of year irresponsf-
bic. parties go around attempting to
sell so-called recipes for making
fertilizers" A friend writes me:
Yesterday Ihad &man come to me
with this recipe in his pocket, for
which he paid %, and asked for the
material for this fake fertilizer re-
cipe." II any Of your readers are
offered an opportunity to get in on
the ground floor Of a fertilizer busi-
ness-to learn how to make fertilfz-
ers for 81 a ton-al1 by purchasing a
IS recipe for making fertilizers, we
wish to offer the advice: q BB&&B /!
Don't!
When you purchase a recipe for
making fertilizers you r parting
with your money for nothing. We
have seen several OF these recipes
and have yet to see one that was not
worthless. The mixtures prepared
according to the diFectionszgiven are
not worth the time and labor ap-
piled. Ingredients are called for
which can be purchased only at drug
stores at high prices, and. likely as
not, are OF no more value to the
plants than a piece of coal would be.
But even If you did happen to buy
good directions for mixing a fertil-
izer what then? You have paid
your money for something that could
be secured for nothing. The expert
ment station will at any time send,
without charge, directions for mixing
any kind OF fertilizer desired. But,
as said before, we have never yet
seen a fertilizer recipe sold for SIS,
or any other price, that was not
worthless. Do not buy fertilizer re-
cipes &c. s. Fraps,, Chemist Texas
