Washington, December 16-A character istic speech was today delivered in the Senate by Senator Tilman. MT. Tillman spoke on his resolutions directing an in- vestigation of the recent bond issues and clearing house certificates, but he took time to comment on good many mat ters concerning financial affairs of the country.

GREAT FLEET SETS OUT.
Splendid Spectacle Is Presented To
 Thousands of Visitors.

Hampton Roads, December 16.-Un- der the dazzling sun of cloudless winter sky, on their famous twin-sea eign shores and changing climates, to the west coast of the United States the Pacific bound fleet left today. President Roosevelt. on the bridge of his cruiser yacht, the Mayhower, personally led the magnificent four mile line of fighting vessels dur ing the first stage of the voyage. From the anchorage ground in Hamp- ton Roads to the horse shoe bend of Chesapeake bay, his eagle crested flag of blue pointed the way to the fleets new home at the Golden Gate. Then, when the wide reaches of the sea were visible through the wide swung capes of Virginia, he turned aside, and com ing to an anch orage reviewed the passing pageant.
 The blue O the sky the stretch of green sea niles, the glistening of spotless hulls, the curl of foam crested bow waves, the cheering of sailors afloat and friends ashore, the breeze blown strains of Aud Lang Syne' l floating acrcSS the waters, the blare or trumpets, the rufAe of drums, the flash of signals and the boom of saluting cannon marked the departure of the fleet, presenting to the people who watched a spectacle they will never forget and to the world at large the realization of the trimmest snuggest, most homogeneous. most thoroughly equipped. the most able and selt-re- liant assemblage of first-class battle ships ever gathered in one command.

All New Warships.

There was not a ship in the line old enough to have smelled the powder or taken the shot of Manila or Santi- ago. stories written scarce ten years ago in the history of nations. All were modern of design and armament, examples of the aggressive sea going navy which the President has declared to be so essential to the peace of the country. Attaches of foreign legations and embassies at Washington and navy correspondenfs who have seen war ser vice on foreign journals freely de- clared that today's naval display was the most impressive they had ever seen. The facility with which the big vessels were handled, the manner Tn which they were maneuvered into sin gle column formation and the perfect alignment which was maintained to the southward turn from the cape called for the warmest attention.
 The thrill of the beautiful marine picture was felt until the last wind blown spiral of smoke was lost on the horizon.
 The sailing of the fleet was preceded by a reception on the deck or the May flower, which sh ortly after o'clock this morning steamed into the center of the anchored fleet. President Roose- welt warmly greeted the four rear ad- miraIs and the sixteen commanding officers of the fleet as they climbed from dancing launches up the starboard gangway of the yacht. He had word of confidence and we'll wishing for all, hut made no formal address. The President felt the occasion did not call for any such remarks, as the cruise inst undertaken Is officially regarded as but detail of naval training

Inspiring Scene.

The inspiring sight of vessels gaily dressed at anchor and waiting the word to go. put the President Tn rare good spirits. While the Mayfiower was coming into position and waiting TOT the reception to begin the President paced rapidly up and down the deck anxious to obtain a view of the great double squadron from every possible vantage point To Secretary of the Navy Metcalf and the others or his guests on board, he was constantly exclaiming upon the beauty and gran deur of the surrounding scenes.
 "Did you ever see such fleet? Isn't 1t magnificent? oughtn't we to feel proud?"
 And then the President had something to say of the enlisted men. In the midst of the reception to the officers he sent to the coxswain of the Loulsiana's launches and through him despatched special message of greeting to that ships crew 1t was on the Louisiana that the Presl- dent made his recent trip to the isthmus of Panama, and ever since that time ne has felt personal interest in all the snip has done. When the surprised and em- barrassed coxswain. Seaman William Chandler had been presented to Mrs. Roosevelt as well as to the President, and had again clambered into his launch, the President said to those about him; 'I tell you. our enlisted men are every thing. They are perfectly bully, and they are up to everything required of them This is indeed great fleet and great day"

He hurried to where the nd hrfppng hig right hand to a saluting position. paid his formal respects and gave hs personal as- surance that the ships of his command were ready.

SOME DRINK STATISTICS.

We may very well doubt the ac~ur-
scy Of statistics as to the actual con-
sumption OF beer, spirits an vine il
the different countries. TIE saxes
paid On liquors or the quaint T. with
drawn from warehouses do not nee
essarily show the consumption. Even
the figures Of the British government
are not to be accepted as exact.
Every year surprise is expressed at
the showing that Britons drink
more beer than the Germans and Coz
siderab!y less spirits. Thus, accord
ing 10 the figures, the United King
dom consumes 27.7 gallons of beer per
capita annually and Germany 26.3 gal
Ions: while Germany consumes LAB
gallons cf spirits and =. Of wine. and
the United Kingdom drinks ~ gallons
II spirits and 50 of wine.
The United States consumes 16.S
gallons q beer per capita. Us gallons
Of spirits and .43 Of wine. and is said
to have inc>seased its use Of sp' rits Il
per cent from 1901 to- 1905. which is
hardly credible. At any rate it has
been the rule that the consumption Of
spirits declines in prosperous times.
In the past six years. it is generally
believed, there has been IN fact a de
cline in drinking in this country. \
wave of temperance has swept over

IN The face % this ard OF tn Police

GOVERNOR HUGHES OF NEW
YORK.

There has been some curiosity as Ia
the attitude athe republican press of
New York would assume toward the
late action of the committee in
squelchins the Hughes boom laun he'd
by former Governor Odell. Tie Ro-
chester Democrat Chronicle which has
all along advocated the nomination OF
Governor Hughes. explains as Chair
man Woodruff did that the boom was
all right but was in bad hands. The
exFlanation however. lacks certain
fervency which has been formerly OBJ
served in the Democratic Chronicles
columns in behalf of the governor,
leading to the suspicion that there is
something more than Odelrs person
ality behind the apparent unfriendly
action of the committee. says the Dem
ocrat-Chronicle.
They are blind readers of political
events who think that the. recent ac-
ton Of the New York republican state
committee in voting down the OdeI
Resolution pledging the committee to
the support of Governor Hughes as a
presidential candidate was designed or
adapted to injure Governor Hughes
presidential prospects. There were
several fatal objections TO the passing
OF that resolution. First. it was pre-
mature. The time for the national re-
publican convention is Yet over var
ia the future. In the second place. the
sour5e of the resolution was obJac-
tionable. # would haze been a fatal
mistake TO permit former Governor
odcl 20 become tie sponsor for the
Hughes presidential boom. Mr.. OdeH
is acceptable 90 some republicans and
very obnoxious tosothers. Whatever
grounds there may' be for. either sen.
timent. it would never answer to per

PREMATURE BURIAL.
English Society Wants More Careful
| Medical Examination OF Dead.

A special cablegram from London to
the Philadelphia Record says: 1t is
easier to get buried alive now than 20
years ago, owing to the hurry-scurry
of modern life, which seems to have
entered even the death chamber. DIR.
]. Stenson Mooker made this averment
while presiding at a meeting of the
Association for the Prevention of Pre-
mature Burial, ard with statistics two
other members piled unspeakable hor-
ror upon 1t by asserting that 10 per-
sons are known not only to have been
inferred prematurely, but afterward to
have been dissected alive.
Formerly it was no uncommon thing
to keep a body some six or seven days.
but now the dead are rushed to the
grave. This intro duces several forms
of the premature burial peril, one be-
ing the possibility of interment while
in a trance. 1t was possible for a per-
son to hypnotise himself into a condi-
ton Of trance, and in London at the
present time there was a gentleman
who claimed to be able to stop the
beating of his heart.
Statistics compiled by two members
of the association from medical
sources alone showed that 149 people
