PARTY KEEPS PROMISES.
Republicans In Rhode Island House
Redeem Campaign Pledges.

Providence, r. l., April 1.-THE
House of Representatives Friday by a
strict party vote passed in concurrence
with the Senate an amendment to the
Constitution granting the power of veto
to the governor and increasing the
representation in the House from 72 to
100. This result was reached only after
10-hour session, during which many
vigorous speeches were made on both
sides.
During the last campaign. the plat
forms Of both Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions contained pledges to
give the governor the veto power and
to remodel the representation in the
General Assembly.
The Republicans secured control of
both branches of the Legislature, and
during the first week of the session
Senator Sarborn of Newport presented
two amendments, one providing for the
veto power, and the other increasing
the representation in the House from
Y to 100 members. These two amend
ments were adopted after bitter oppo-
sition by strict party vote.

Has Chicago Scientist
Found Origin Of Heat !?
Excess Of Imponderab|e Ether
Prof. Parks Declares.
Also Says Lord Kelvin and Prof.
TvndalI Endorsed Theory.

Chicago, April 12.-Dr. Andrew ..
Park of Chicago, a graduate OF 'he
University of Victoria College, Ioroh-
to. and Harvard University, believes
he has discovered the true origin Oh
heat and intends to lay his discovery
before the Association for the Az
vancement Of Science in London next
June.
The old theory that heat is mode
If motion is declared to be fallacious
nv DR.. Park. He asserts that heat IS
uncomfortable ether accumulated IN
excess. This ilnponderable matter, ac-
cording to DIR. Park, is completely
neutral and is never manifested as
heat in its elementary condition. But
when it accumulates in excess and It's
equilibrium is disturbed it becomes
heat. He says that when the equillbrl-
nm of the imponderable ether is dis
turbed there must be motion, but IN
this application motion is simply the
agent and not the principal. 1t is mere
Nv the battery, not the electrical
power.
DR.. Park says he was intimately ac-
ouainted with Lord Kelvin and that
the latter sometime before his death
said he believed DR.. Park was working
on the right theory. He says that Prof.
Tyndall also Endorsed his theory of the
origin Of heat on which he has been
working for years.

GOULD RETAINS
AMERICAN TITLE

New York, April 12.-Playing in ir-
resistiblc form Jay Gould of Georgian
Court, Lakewood, won over Eustice H.
Miles of London. Eng, in the challenge
round of the national court tennis
championship at the New York Rae
quet and Tennis Club yesterday after
noon. Gould won three sets out of
four, 6-2, Ga, 1-6. 6-3. George r. Fear
ing of Boston acted as referee, while
Harry p. Whitney judged the services.
BY his success yesterday Gould re-
tanned his American title. The world S
championship did not hinge on the out
come, as many seem to imagine, al
though Gould gained that a year ago
when he defeated Miles for the cham
pionship of Great Britain, and later
won the American tournament in this
city. When Gould announced some
months ago that college duties would
prevent his defending his foreign title,
Miles determined to visit this country
and tackle the American on his native
heath.
There is still bare chance of Gould
retaining his title of worlds champion.
Before leaving the building yesterday
he said that if he succeeded in getting
his fathers consent he would go to
England and play in the championship
there in June. He did not care to dis
cuss his contest with Miles other than
to say it was a delightful match and
that he thoroughly enjoyed it.

MURPHY SOFT PR0po.
SlTl0n FOR YOUNG ERNIE.

Philadelphia, April 13.-Tommy Muir
ply Of New York showed plainly the
effects of his long layoff in his bout
with Young Erne at the National Ath-
letic Club Saturday night. Erne had
an advantage in weight, but that did
not altogether explain the disparity
in their showing at the finish. His
punches seemed to lack steam, and he
was unable to get in the right punch
at the right time.
Erne has always possessed the idea
that he could outlook Murphy, and last
night he demonstrated that his dope
was right There was very little to

every prospect of their being highly
successful.

fan, they are being looked forward
with considerable enthusiasm, and it Is
from the United States that we ex-
pect to obtain the largest number OF

with a great number of the events
not closing until next month it is of
course impossible yet to form any idea
as to how many entries will be re-
ceived from any country. though it
may be taken for granted that ath-
letes of 20 different nationalities will
take part in the various competitions,
the most popular of which from an in
ternational point of view will. think.
be those of athletics, cycling, swim
ming, gymnastics and shooting"
Asked if there were any truth in the
statement that had gained currency
to the effect that boxing might yet be
included in the games, the honorable
secretary said:
ut has been suggested that COMPETE
tions in the British-American art of
self-defence should be arranged, but so
far nothing has been done on the sub
iect. However, it has been put before
the foreign councils, and if they decide
that the sport is of a sufficiently inter-
national character it will be added"

AUTOS

New York, April IA change of
program in the New York-tO-Paris au-
tomobile race is likely, according to
advices received here. The American
car, which was far in the lead, has
found the snow fields of Alaska an i'm
passable barrier, and is therefore re-
turning from Valdez to Seattle.
Two weeks ago an agreement was
made that should the Alaskan route be
found impossible, the leading cars
would make the trip by an alternative
route.
This plan provides thatthe machines
shall go as far as possible over the
original route and then sail from Seat
tie for Vladivostok. and thence proceed
by land across Siberia and Europe to
their destination.

The American automobile and crew

Schaster says that the depth of the
snow and the chuck holes absolutely
prohibited any chance of the automo-
biles running, mile.
He says he will return to Seattle and
ship for Vladivostok to make up the
time lost on the Alaskan trip. He will
attempt to charter the sea-going tug
Walcott at Orca or take the car and
crew across to Siberia. 1t is doubtful
