SUGGESTION OF FIRE HORSES.
The communication from a News
reader, appearing in another column,
suggesting that the maintenance OF a
team of horses and a paid driver night
and day at the city fire house, to take
apparatus Immediately upon receipt
of an alarm to any part of the city,
would pay in the added protection, is
one which will appeal to many prop
erty owners of Norfolk as worth con-
sideration.
The criticism appears not to be in
any way a criticism of the present
highly efficient volunteer fire depart
ment. The News believes it is safe
in the assertion that no other city in
the United States can produce a vol.
unteer fire department so alert and so
genuinely efficient as the Norfolk vol
unteer fire department. This Is one
of the many institutions of which Nor
folk is justly proud. No blaze that the
Norfolk volunteer fire ladies ever
get at, can last for long. Under their
keenly persistent and systematic fire
fighting blaze that is once under
their attack is just as surely doomed
as anything could be. And it has hun
dreds of times been noticed and re-
marked by the people Of Norfolk that
almost instantly upon the sound OF a
boys are at the various fire houses in
the city and started speeding toward
the blaze. Frequently visitors from
out Of town have declared that the
Norfolk firemen are started on the
road to fire almost with the dispatch
of paid city department, and spec
tators at Norfolk fires always admit
that the work OF the Norfolk volun-
teers is truly phenomenal. 1t mat,
ters not how cold the night, nor how
singing the north wind, the Norfolk
volunteer fire department is on the
spot to fight for hours If there be
need, They will stand with nozzle in
hand on nights when the temperature
is far below zero, and never utter
word Of complaint.
And this suggestion from the letter
writer apparently intends merely to
impress upon the people of Norfolk
that these untiring and always-on-hand

THE YACHT RACING

The New York Yacht club was
called all sorts of harsh names for re
fusing to accept the challenge of Sill
Thomas Upton for another try toward
the cup. The club now comes forth
with a defense of itself And the tan
gle has developed to a point where
there seems practically no further
chance for another race. All of which
while the defense of the New York
club may be technically well based
will give regret to the great Americans
who would like to see another goot
race.
The New York club says that Lip
tons challenge is made with a boat
smaller and slower than the cup calls
for. Lipton's yacht builder refuses tc
build another boat of the type which
the New York club insists upon, claim
ing that it Is unworthy and a freak
good for nothing excepting this race
The New York club insists upon the
fastest boat that can be produced
Upton boat builder refuses to make
one. So Upton challenged for a race
with a smaller and slower. though
saner boat. The challenge was turned
down. And thus the inability of the
two to get together apparently puts
another race out of the question.
Meanwhile, however, Swedish boat
men have written asking if a chal
lenge from them would be accepted
And so, unless the New York club has
determined that it will run no more
races and thus keep the cup secure
there may be future sport, though not

will sail for New York Dec. from

St. Petersburg-The preparations
have been completed for the opening OF
the third Russian parliament Nov. IA,
in the Tauride palace, with little cere-
mony. The reports that Emperor
Nicholas would come to st. Petersburg
and receive the delegates personally
at the winter palace are without foun
dation. Premier Stolypin and the cab
met ministers will be present. After
a religious service, Mr.. GOlubeff, vice
president of the council of the empire,
will read the imperial ukase convok
ing parliament and a brief greeting
from the Emperor.
The prospects of the cooperation Of
the Octoberists and constitutional
democrats on a moderate liberal pro-
gram are steadily improving. Both
parties, however, rejected the idea oS
fusion.

Fiqht Shy Of Jury Duty.

Washington-The first day of the
trial of Mrs. Annie NJ Bradley on the
charge of numbering ex-senator Brown
of Utah was consumed entirely in an
eff to obtain jury. When the
court adjourned for the day, that
preliminary work was still incomplete
Notwithstanding 81 men had been eX-
amined as to their competency to sit
in the case.
There were II men in the jury box,
all of them, however, subject to chal-
lenge.
The questions put to venremen by
the. attorneys for the prosecution and
the defence served to define to some
exN Pnt the lines which will be fol-
lowed by both sides of the case.
Il was made evident that the attor-
neys for Mrs, Bradley will depend up
on the plea of insanity as their only
pEGtessed defence. If there was any
confidence in the plea of justification
it was not expressed
On the other hand, the prosecution
manifested apprehension that the jury
would be inclined to consider the
case under the unwritten law and to
shield the defendant from possible
capital punishment on account of her
sex, and the government spared no
pains to procure assurance that there
were no lurking convictions in the
minds of jurors who would stand in
the way of awarding punishment in
accordance with the testimony on
those accounts.
Many persons were excused because
they were opposed to capital punish
ment for women.
Mrs. Bradley was accompanied to
the court room by her mother, Mrs.
Madison, who remained during the
forenoon session. During the early
hours of the day Mrs. Bradley ap-
peared nervous and affected by all the
references to the tragedy, but later
gained her compOsure.
Mrs. Bradley is charged with delib-
erately numbering the ex-senator in
his room in a hotel in this city on
Dec. 8 last. Mrs. Bradley has admitted
the killing, and there will be no eff
fort to show that his death resulted
from any other cause than the shot
fired by her.
1t is probable that she will be put
on the stand in her own defence with
the hope of influencing the jury in
reaching the conclusion that her mind
was so unsettled by the long-continued
wrongs which it is alleged she had
suffered that she was not responsible
for her act.

Receive the Kaiser coolly.

London-Emperor William of Ger
many, the guest of King Edward,
made a speech Wednesday at the
Guild hall, where he was entertained
by the city of London. He urged the
strengthening of the Anglo-German
relations and emphasized his unalter-
able desire to foster the peace OF the
world.
The reception accorded Emperor
William by the people of London has
been respectful, but compared to that
given some other royal visitors of
recent years it was in no sense en-
thusiaStic.
The anti-German feeling among a
large section of the English people,
which is just at present particularly
strong, derived fresh impetus from
the antagonism which cropped out
between the two nations on various
lines during the recent peace confer
ence at The Hague. Emperor Will
liam evidently intends his visit shall
inspire better feelings, but the re-
suits of it remain to be seem
A large section, if not majority OF
English people, persist in believing
Germany to be Great Britain's one
enemy among the nations, and this
enmity has been famed recently by
continuous warnings from some OF
the leading newspapers and reviews,
as well from military experts, that
Germany's chief naval and military
activity is directed toward schemes
for the invasion of England.
"The German invasion" is becom.
ing a hobby of the anti-Germans and
a subject of ridicule for the pro-Ger-
mans The idea has, however, un-
questionably affected the mind of the
public, and it is tending to surround
with suspicion Emperor Williams
professions of his desire for peace.
