MORE PRAISE
Former Member of German Navy Says American Naval Off,
 cerS Are Not Too Old.

Berlin, July 12.--Count von Rev entlow, formerly in the German navy and now probably the foremost German Journalistic writer on naval subjects, has written a half-page ar ticle on the quality of the American corps of officers and men. He does not agree with the judgment that the American officers are mostly too old to possess energy, too inclined to comfort and quiet and are ex tremely self-satisfied.
 Various American officers of the higher rank, the count asserts, would probably disappear soon after the beginning of a, war. Among the officers the liveliest national feeling prevails, together with that practi- cal spirit and that quite special American talent for technical things. The American fleet does lack several thousands of men to make up the crews, owing to there being no com pulsory service and the higher wages paid and independence enjoyed out side of the navy. But these facts ought not to be taken too seriously, because of the immense number of civilians trained to practical techni- cal work from whom upon the out break of war would come a stream of recruits which also would include many seamen.
 The count concludes his remarks with complimenting Admiral Evans.

BUYING ON THE HOOP
The Sealed Package" System of Buying Cattle Will Hereafter
 Prevail at Chicago.

Chicago, July 12.-The sealed package" system of buying cattle at the Chicago stockyards was adopted as compromise at meeting be- tween representatives of the Chicago livestock exchange and the packers yesterday. Negotiations have been pending for several weeks between the commission men and the pack ers,s and no agreement could be reached on any other basis.
 The packers held out for a system of purchasing cattle at the yards whereby stock found to be infected with certain diseases would be re- jected after the purchase. , The com mission men maintained that such a system was unfair and gave the pack CTS an undue advantage over the cat tie owners and commission men. Un- der the agreement the packing house buyers will make purchases at their own risks. They will be given the right to examination, but once selec- tions have been made and prices agreed upon the sale will be regard ed as completed and any subsequent losses will fall upon the purchasers

THE THIRD TERM MENACE.
Systematic Work Going on in Favor
 of President.

While the leading republican newspapers of the country are, as a rule, opposed to the re-nominatlon or Roosevelt by the republican party, there appears to be systematic campaign going on throughout the country in favor of it. Evidences Of that campaign are cropping out in such papers as the Washington Her aid and the Atlanta Georgian and in reading matter furnished by press bureaus and correspondents to many country papers. The plan seems to be to build up a distinct Roosevelt party, something on the order Of Mir Hearst's Independence league, which will be able to sandbag the republican national convention, as Mir Hearst's league sandbagged the New York democratic state conven- tion last year. The promoters of this scheme are proceeding by indi- rection. There line of argument is illustrated by the following extract from an article in the Washington Herald of June 26, written in reply to an editorial of the Brooklyn Eagle:
 MT Roosevelt is not engaged in forcing his renomination. His at titude is not at all that of a eandi- date for a third term. He has not even countenanced movement for his renomination. There is really no such movement, at any rate not in an organized or tangible form. What exists is sentiment, or belief. that the president ought to be re- nominated. What If this sentiment should denominate the republican na- tion convention; what if the nomin- ation instead of being forced by Roosevelt, should be forced upon him Would not such an eventuality put the moral aspect of the presidents election night declaration in an entirely different light from that in which the Eagle views 1t? The Eagle has ignored the more probable contingency for a less prob able if not altogether impossible one. There is a vital distinction between the two"
 Such talk as this is appearing con- stantly in a class of papers which have no claim to leadership in either party. And 1t is true as the Brook lyn Eagle says. that it is probable the president could force his own nomination. Nothing could save that from being recognized as a forced process. It would be stig- matized as a violation of his freely and solmnly pleged word"

KILLED ON TRACK
Engineer Howard Was Adjusting Part of His Engine When
 Struck By Freight

Danbury, July 12.-Ray R. How ard of 632 Lafayette street, Bridge port, an engineer on the New York divison of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, was instantly killed early this morning few miles east of this city by Highland divi- sion train. Engineer Howard was bringing New York division freight in from Brookfield Junction and stopped to fix something about his engine. The tracks of the New York division and those of the Highland divison are parallel at the point where the accident occurred and En- gineer Howard stepped onto the ad- joining track in front of an ap- preaching freight train. The noise of his own locomotive drowned that made by the Highland division train. The body was brought into this city and taken in charge by an undertak- CT. Engineer Howard was about 34 years old. Papers found on his body indicated that he was Mason.

DENIES IT ALL
Haywood Testilying in His Own Behalf Says He Had No KnOWl-
 edge of PlOts 10 Kill
STATE CALLS FLYNN

Boise, Idaho, July 12.-William D. Haywood, the first of the men to be placed on trial charged with the mur- der of Former Governor Frank Steunenberg, to-day continued his testimony in his own defense under examination by Clarence Darrow of counsel for his defense Haywood probably will be the last witness called in the direct examination. By this afternoon, or the adjournment Of court tomorrow at noon, both sides will have closed and the rebuttal will commence on Monday morning.
 About forty witnesses altogether have been subpoenaed for this rebut- tai. Counsel for the state expect to occupy the greater part ot next week in examination of their witnesses and much depends upon what is brought out by the state as to whether the ar guments will commence as soon as was expected. Counsel for the defense say that they will call anumber of witnesses in sub-rebuttal. Should this be made necessary, It is possible that the court will have to adjourn for some days that the uefense may be given time to summon their wit nesses from a distance.
 Both Mover, the president, and Hay wood, the secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, have denied in the most positive terms that they knew Orchard in any other connection than as a member of the federation. Counsel for the defense appear to be determined to bring out the most minute detail as to the relations be- tween Orchard. the self-confessed aS- sassin of a score of men, and the officers of the organization of which he was member. They state the federation consistently stood by its members until they were proven guilty and that it was not until Orchard con fessed his crimes that they deserted him. It is believed there are sensa- tional developments yet in store in connection with the case. Both sides are urea dttliluS ptlJuis pioNVohih-S against certain witnesses and both sides maintain that in the rebuttal and the sub.rebuttal much matter alto gether unexpected will be brought out.
 Dominick Flynn. one of the wit nesses for the defense in the Haywood trial was recalled by the state when the case was resumed this morning He was asked AS to conversation he had with Daniel Clancy in 1899 The question was understood to be asked for the purpose of impeachment. After Flynn left the stand Haywood was recalled for direct testimony. Testifying in his own behalf Haywood said that he had no concern in or any knowledge of any plot to kill the governor.
 The direct examination of Hay wood was concluded at 10:S5 and re- cess was taken at 11:30.

WAS QUICK WORK
Jury That Decided Fale of M0th- CT and Son Was Out For
 Only Four Minutes
ACOUITAL THE VERDICT

La Plata, Md, July 12.--With the testimony all in and the closing ar guments under way there was every indication when the trial of Mrs Bowie and her son, Henry, for the shooting of Hubert Posey last Janu- ary was resumed to-day that yer dict would be rendered to-day. States Attorney Wilmer in concluding his argument last night sprung sur prise when he asked the jury to re- turn verdict of manslaughter.
 Former State Senator Posey, who followed on behalf of the defense, pleaded an acquittal and condemned the states attorney for asking for a verdict of manslaughter. Tt is guilty of murder in the first degree or ac- quittal," he said, and I know that you gentlemen of the jury will not put your seal upon the robbing of women of that which is dearest to her by convicting these people and say ing to the young men, come into my home and wreck my fireside."
 A verdict of acquittal was render ed by the jury at :35 this afternoon, after the jury was out four minutes.

POSTAL CARD LAW.
Several Changes Will Take Place in a
 Short Time.

Washington, July 12.-For years Americans and others have been send ing to the United States from foreign countries postal cards and post cards private mailing cards) with messages written on the front as we'll as on the back of the cards, although in this country this advantage has been de- nied the users of government postal cards. Some months ago the United States postal regulations were amend- ed so as to give that privilege to buyers of post cards, but such con- cession was not made applicable to postal cards.
 In order to remedy this inconsis- tency, Postmaster General Meyer to- day promulgated an order, effective August 1, 1907, providing that the face side of postal card may be dl- vided by vertical line placed ap- proximately one-third of the distance from the left end of the card the space to the left of the line to be used for a message, etc, the portion to the right to be used for the address only A very thin sheet of paper may be attached if it completely adheres to the card, and such paster may bear both writing and printing. Ad- vertisements, illustrations or writing may appear on the back of tht card and on the left. third of the front
 Postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand. tinsel, or other such substances are declared 10 be unmailable except when enclosed in envelopes with proper postage affix- ed. or when treated in such man. ner as will prevent objectionable ma terials from being rubbed of or injur- ing the hands of persons handling the mails.
 The contractor at Rumford Falls Me, is now putting in new machinery for the manufacture of postal cards, and the department will furnish plates for postal cards of new design con- forming to the conditions of the amended regulations.

STILL A MYSTERY
No Confirmation of inc Death of a Former Waterbury Man
 al Indianapolis.

Word has reached Waterbury, but so far it is unconfirmed, that Thom- as O'Donnell, brother of John H. O'Donnell president of the Water bury Die Go, died by his own hand in Indianapolis, Wednesday. MT O'Donnell was immediately notified of the information and he said It was only Wednesday that he sent his brother a check in Indianapolis. He placed the matter in the hands of John Moriarty, the undertaken, and it was understood that MT Moriarty wired a fellow undertaken in tho town where the death is supposed to have taken place to send on the body to Worcester, Mass, the birth place of the O'Donnell family. But up to this afternoon not word had been received from Indianapolis.
 MT O'Donnell stated that he be- lieved his brother was dead, yet he had no reason for saying so other than the receipt of the unconfirmed information.
 At the Moriarty undertaking rooms they said MT Moriarty had tel egraphed to Indianapolis to send on the body, but whether he had re- ceived any response they were un- able to state.
 Thomas O'Donnell left town som, years ago rather abruptly. His de- parture created a great deal of sur prise for it was believed he was get ting along we'll in business. For years he conducted a saloon and cafe in the Moriarty building on East Main street. His family is still in town,
