The United States government has
adopted the turbine and the new scout
ship Salem Will have in her an 5000
Curtis type turbine that will probably
put her into the 30-knot class. 1t Is prac-
tically certain that the next American
hattleships will also have turbines in-
stead OF reclprocating engines.
The turbine is not only powerful en-
gine. but It is also simple. 1t is dir-
ficult to describe, but the machine con-
sists of a series of movable and station
ary yanes, inclosed in a case or cylip-
dricaI shape. The steam is forced De
tween these vanes, and, like worm ON
screw, they turn with great rapidity.
As the central shaft Of the turbine is
coupled direct to the propellerss the iat-
ter make many more revolutions to the/
minutes than does the ordinary screw,
hence they are much smaller. 1000
horsepower turbine viii make $50 revo-
lutions to the minute, whereas recip-
rocating engine OF the same power VIII
make but 100. Being entirely Enclosed,
a turbine requires but little attention.
1t does not become ciogged or dirty, even
though there are so many parts, the
number of vanes to turbine OF either
the Parsons or Curtis type being about
100000, each OF which performs It's own
mart of the work of driving.
There is no doubt but what the reeip-
rocating engine for high-ciass pf ven-
ger and freight steamers and wa -hips
has about come to its end, and that the
power OF the future will be the tur-
bine. This engine comes about as close
to the theory OF the adaptation of steam
TO mechanics as many scientists ever
expect to get. though there viii al
ways be men of brains at work, who
win seek to not only develop the ideas
of Messrs. Parsons and Curtis, but to
discover something that will eclipse them

When we consider that one caste may

that the shadow of one man faillng
across the food of another, as 1t lies
upon the ground, may necessitate his
throwing 1t to the dogs. and that
Hindu can no more change his caste

When we come down to the lower
ranks of the people, the ramihcations OF
caste are beyond the grasp OF MIND.
Every occupation has its distinct caste
and these are varied by locality. Then
there are hundreds of castles growing out
of mixed marriages for, although Hindu
custom now forbids marriages between
persons of different caste, there has
been extensive intermingling, and In every
such case the contracting parties lost
their original caste. In many instances
non-Aryan families and communities
have become Hinduised and admitted
into the ranks of the twice born.
These ascenslons In the social scale have
usual been gradual and almost imper-
ceptible, but in some cases they are
the result OF a revolt against the ar
bitrary classification or Of seif-asser-
tiou supported by material advantages.
Thus In Southern India the goldsmiths
resisted the rule of the Brahmans and
claimed to be the true spiritual leaders.

hundred years the development OF the
reciprocating engine has received so much
attention that it has become generally
believed to be the ideal power despite
the faults named above. Electricity,
too, has been taken up and developed
to a remarkable degree, but it has re-
mained for Mr.. c. A. Parsons. of Eng
land, and Mr.. Curtis, of this country,
TO bring out a new application of an
old, old theory and to produce what
promises to be the coming power for
merchant and naval vessels. This new
power is the marine turbine engine,
wherein one has the direct application
of steam to wheels within wheels at
tached directly to shafts for the turn
ing of the propellers.
The most remarkable feature Of the
turbine is that it is not nearly so tall
as the standard type of marine engine,

to the center OF gravity OF the ship.

military department of the New Mex
leo Military Institute at Roswell, N.
NJ, made April 18th and 18th by Cap
tain Julius A. Penn, of the general
staff of the army, has been received
at the Institute.
The report describes the Institute
as essentially military school in
which the military spirit is develop
ed and matured to the greatest ex-
tent possible. Among the numerous
remarks of Captain Penn about the
Institute are found the following:
Military duty is performed with
maximum degree of zeal, and the gen
eral appearance of the cadets is ex-

ANDREWS Will AGAIN
LEAD REPUBLICANS
Renominated Last Night at Seven O'clock After Bit.
ter fight--BurslIm Selected as Territorial Chair
man and the Gang in Full Control

Santa Fe, Aug. 19.-By a vote of
20 for Mann, the Republican Terri
torial convention at seven o'clock
last evening selected Andrews again
to make the race as the standard
bearer of the party in New Mexico.
The fight made against Andrews was
strong and bitter. On the floor it was
plainly told him why he was being
opposed, and that 1t was believed he
was the weakest nominee the 'Repub-
lican party could name.
Following the vote a ratific1ation
meeting was held and all agreed to
work for the success of the ticket;
But it was pointed out that those who
came from the Spiess and Mann dis
tricts that it would require the great,
est and hardest work to prevent Lar
razolo carrying the election in these
sections.
This morning a meeting of the new
Territorial central ?committee was
chairman. 1t was decided to establish
branch headquarters dur ng the COM
ing campaign at Las Vegas and Ros-
well, though the main headquarters
will be at Santa Fe.

he might be nominated despite his
protests, Johnson said that if he was
dominated the ticket would be with
out a head, as he would not lift a fin
ger to further the candidacy. 1t was
thought that this emphatic declara-
ton had it's effects and that Mayor
Aronson, of saltwater, would be the
nominee Aronson stated this morn
Ing that under no circumstances will
he be candidate, and said he con
sidered it Jonnson's duty to make the
race even at a personal sacrifice.
Congressman Hammond, who was
also strongly mentioned, has declined
to run, and with Aronson and Ham
mond both out, it looked today as il
the only course of the convention was
to nominate Johnson and take the
chances of his accepting.

The vote will be late. 1t looks like
| Andrews, but the Spiess and Mann
delegates are standing to their guns
and say they will never give up until
beaten. Bursum is trying to hog the
whole show and is succeeding pretty
well so far.
This morning was consumed in the
preliminary organization, and 1t is
evident that the convention will be
prolonger. While there are no contests
to settle, the Spiess and Mann peo-
pie will not have things entirely their
own way. There is no doubt of the
nomination of Andrews as he has sew
en- more votes instructed for him
than the necessary 81, and he will
carry off the plum on the first ballot
Quite a determined effort was made
today by some of the delegates to
nave Governor Curry enter the race
for the nomination, but he absolutely
refused to have anything to do with
it. Today will be devoted to the res
olutions and the work of the various
committees, and the nomination will
be made Wednesday.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING
IN THE RACE WAR.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 19.-With the
departure of two regiments of infan-
try and with the beginning of the
grand jury investigation, of the re-
cent riots, this city today saw the
first steps taken toward the resump-
ton of normal conditions. The first
and fourth regiments, which together
with the eighth are scheduled to par
ticipate in the regular army maneu-
vers at Fort Benjamin Harrison early
next month, were the organizations
to begin the evacuation OF the state
capitol. r.
Riots are still threatening in GER
tain portions of the community and
there is practically reign of terror
there. Probably the cavalry will be
retained for some time. 1t was also
announced today that the third and
fifth regiments will depart tomorrow.
TT11s will reduce the militia force here
to about 1900 men, an ample num-
the situation. The resumption of or
der will save the state about $4,000
day.
The news of the departure of the
troops was carried to the so-called
bad Lands" and the respectable ne
gro settlement, by an Associated
Press correspondent. Some were ex-
cited by the tidings, some appeared
hopeless and weary of the struggle,
some in tired voices said they would
wait and see what happened, and 9th
ers declared their intention of 1eav-
ing the city. With scarcely an excep-
tion they expressed the opinion that
trouble would follow the withdrawal
Of the troops.
Officers to whom the feelings of the
negroes were related expressed the
opinion that the fears of the negroes
were almost ground1ess and due to
the experience they had passed thru,
rather than 10 actual conditions. The
present force naming, in conjunc-
ton with the police and deputies,
will, they say, be ample to protect
every law abiding citizen.
