 The bill to make the salaries of chancellors throughout the state uniform in that each and all of them be paid $2,500 annually, was passed by the lower house of the Legislature yesterday. The measure will in all probability pass the Sen ate. It is generally favored and es- pecially in districts where the sal aries of chancellors are lower than in others. This unfair condition prevails in this district. Judge John M. Elliott, chancellor of this district, is receiving only $2,0OO per year. His duties are ever more numerous and in many cases more tedious than those of some of the chancellors in the smaller districts, who receive $2,500 annually. The efforts of the Legislature to bring about a uniformity of the salaries paid chancellors over the state is generally approved. The office merits a salary of at least $2,500 per year.

FLEET MAY SAIL
UNDER VICE ADMIRAL
Promotion of Evans Not
Certain, But Is Cen
orally Expected.

Notwithstanding the fact that Score
tary Mctcelf will make no statement In
regard 10 the probable promotion Of
Rear Admiral Evans. IL is generally ex-
pected that the Atlantic feet VIII be
commanded by vice admiral This
will be done on the condition that Coi'-
gress gives its sanction TO the creation
OF the new rank II the American navy.
The idea is by no means a new one, as
the President in his last message 70
Congress made a recommendation 10
that effect without obtaining the ap-
prevail OF Congress. 1t is thought that
when il is considered that Admiral
Evans is about to sail at the head OF
the most powerful fleet ever gathered
urder an American flag Congress may
receive the scheme with favor.
In regard to the new ships under con-
temptation, the Navy Department IS
exerting itself to keep the smallest de-
tails from leaking out. IT l. certain
that the new ships will be Of mere than
10000 tons displacement, and II ~ not
considered improbable that they VIII
reach the 3, 600 mark. IT is not expected
that the. CALDER OF the guns Will IN
crease with the size Of the ships.

HARRY THAN SAYS
HE'S NOT INSANE
Differs From Learned italian
Who Says He Should
Be Imprisoned.

NEW YORK. oct. 2S.-Harry Kendall
Thaw. from mis- cell in the Tombs, has
sent forth denial BY implication of the
conclusions OF Prof. Caesar LOmbrosO
declaring the young Pittsburg million
aiTe 10 be a dangerous lunatic.
Prof Lombroso, " said Thaw. makes
one essential error at least. He says
that have been addicted 10 the use of
morphine. That is not so; have never
used morphine in my life.
Then Thaw added with significant en-
phasis:
And, therefore, that is all 1 have TO
say on this subject"
Thaws negative to the statements Of
Prof. Lombroso was called forth by a
lengthy cabled analysis Of his case
based on an exhaustive review Of the
evidence at the first trial AS a result
of this analysis the great Italian Grim
inOlOgigt drew these conclusions:
"Thaw was wrought up - madness
Of an obsessive kind which drove aim
to CRIME, this series OF ObseSslOns being
founded on cOngenital moral deficiency
and augmented at the moment the
crime was committed by so many other
causes alcoholism, Authorizations, and
perhaps, also, ugSestions made by
Evelyn and in consequence he should
be held irresponsible for his act ana be
detained IN an asylum, being treated as
a dangerous lunatic who, II not kept
under supervision, may commit other
crimes"
In spite Of the conclusions Of Prof.
Lombroso the keepers In the Tombs
DECLARE that ThaW IS in better shape
mentally now than he ads been at any
time since his incarceration He lives
the most regular OF lives, taking his
meals at precisely the same time from
day to day and taking physical exer-
else daily.
