timore lost one of its most highly esteemed
citizens and business men. He was son of
the late William E. Hooper, who established
the great mills at Woodbury., and was con-
nected with that important business industry
from early manhood to the day of his death.
Mr.. Hooper was 68 years of age and had been
in failing health for some time. In 1876
before, the Woodbury. territory was annexed
to Baltimore city-Mr. Hooper was elected to
the House of Delegates from Baltimore county
on the Independent ticket. This was the only
elective office ever held by him.
THE so.cALLED Independent Party of which
William r. Hearst is both the head and the
tail, will hold its National Convention in New
York city on the 9th of July. when it is said
a national ticket viii be placed in the field. A
dispatch from New York says: Hearst is to

THE LOSS of human life and property due
directly to celebrating the Fourth of July
is assuming appalling proportions as is shown
by the Chicago Tribune of last Monday. That
paper says: "6eventy-two dead and 2, 1856 in.
jured are the second day totals of the accidents
attending the celebration of the Fourth of July
in the United States. This breaks all records
for deaths since 1899. The number of deaths
this year reported up to 8 o'clock this morn
ing isis more than at the same time last year.
In 1905 SO were dead at the same hour. The
number ofiniuries, however, is only two thirds
of the average for the last five years. This is
regarded as an indication that the agitation for

ELECTION PLEAsEs OFFICIALS.
Taft Praised as the Man Who Should
Be President

Commenting on the election of Judge
Taft to be next President Of the United
States, Secretary Straus of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor says:
THE results of the election are con-
vincing proof that the people do rule
and have the wisdom and Judgment to
intelligently discriminate.
II regard the election as especially
significant in that the people have given
an emphatic Endorsement to the great
moral issues of the Roosevelt admnistra-
ton and the!- belief that justified Eriev-
ances Of the masses will be redressed.
THE result In the" city and state of
New York is especially gratifying to me
as a proof that the masses can be trust
ed and relied on to give wise and con-
servative verdict amid the many mysti-
fications that were involved in the cam
paign."
Assistant Postmaster General F. V. De
GraW said:
The result is extremely gratifying. as
matter of course But what else was
there to expect? There are other people

Comparison of the Battleships.

Each of the three vessels will be armed
with ten 12-inch guns, but those now
under construction for the Foudroyant
will be five feet longer than those which
are being mounted upon the st. Vincent.
The DreadnOught has three 12-pound-
ers in addition the st. Vincent will have
four 23-pounders. and the Foudroyant will
have ten 25-pounders, besides q certain
tacks of torpedoes.
The British navy has adopted new
type Of gun which is being mounted upon
the ST Vincent. Since the adoption OF
the breech-loadng principle the admiralty
has built no guns with larger bore
than twelve inches. That has been con-
sidered sufficient for all purposes. The
original l2-inch guns weighed forty
six tons and were thirty-seVen feet
long, whereas the guns of the Dread
nOught and the other new battleships
weigh fifty-eieht tons and are forty
feet long The guns of the Foudroyant
will have bore of 1873 inches, Will
weigh sXty-six tons and be forty-eight
feet long.

LINCOLN. November 5.-While not
caring to discuss at this time the po-
litical effect of the democratic victory
in his home state or analyze the causes.
William J. Bryan yesterday afternoon in
an informal talk to a number of friends
who called on him expressed his pleasure
at the result in Nebraska and the salts
faction it afforded him to learn of the
personal friends.
A delegation numbering nearly a hun.
bred from Lincoln visited Mr. Bryan at
Farview to express to him their confid-
ence and devotion, and to assure him
that such was the sentiment of ma
jority of the people of his city and state.
Bryan responded as follows:
Bryan Expresses Qualification.
II am highly gratified over the results
in this state. The national defeat has
not been such a disappointment. when
We have had so many things to console
US l hope ! have convinced my friends
that running for Office has only been an
incident to my work Nv heart has never
been set on holding Office, but I wanted
to do certain work and it looked as
though the presidency might offer the on
portunity to do that work I am sure
that in private life can have the chance
to do something. One is not required to
hold Office in order to do big things; one
is simply required to do those things
within his reach, and that much is with
in the reach of each of us.
Loyalty of His Friends.
Personally I shall find as much low
being out of Office. if the returns show 7
must be. as / would be in office I hone
still to be of influence to bring about
needed reforms. I appreciate very much
the confidence and loyalty of the people
near us. II has been the greatest com
fort that the election has given us. The
fact that those among whom wa live
have shown this confidence we appre-
ciate more than l can tell you 1t has
been very kind in you to come out
here and visit us on this day.''
The defeat he sustained Tuesday did
not weigh heavily on Bryan. He was one
of the most cheerful OF those at his
home and laughed and joked good
naturally with his visitors. Last night

1t would seem that there ought to. be
sufficient brains among the statesmen of
this enlightened age to devise some means
of making these enormous expenditures
unnecessary This is the account of a
single nation. but it makes necessary
corresponding expenditure on the part of
half dozen other nations which are
bound to keep up to the standard of
England as closely as they can There
have been frequent attempts to secure
the adoption of disarmament agree
ment but they have always failed. and
probably will continue TO fail. until as
sembies like that which met at The
Hague last year have educated public
sentiment up to the pretentions of
civilized Christian nations.

and Chile have caught the war fever

1t is believed also that the annual adj
dtions TO the British navy as given will
continue. indefinitely after the years
named so that in 1914 the British fleet will
comprise fortyfour vessels of the Dread
nought type and better, with ten
armored cruisers of the Indomtabl type
or better, eighteen cruisers and 40 de-
stroyers, that will be capable of MAIN
tanning John Bulls supremacy as a
marine power. This will be an enormous
burden on the British people, but the
bill will be referred to future generations
for payment Negotiations are already
in progress for a loan to carry out the
present program. The revenues of the
government are only sufficient for the
ordinary fixed charges, and the proposed
fleet must be paid for with borrowed
money--by the issue of bonds. chargeable
to the next generation. The approximate
cost of the program already adopted as
given above is as follows:

Brazil has also ordered ten torpedo boats
at YarrOw.
There has been some silly talk in SEN
sational newspapers about the transfer
of these ships to Japan. but there is not
the slightest excuse for any such sus-
piciOns. 1t has been known In London
and in Washington. as well as in Rio de
Janero. that the Brazilian government
desired to bring it's navy up to date as
provements were disposed of. and the
construction of these battieships will be
the realization of that ambition.

Twenty wears ago the two most

powerful floating fortresses ever known
up to that time were the British battle
ships Nile and Trafalgar, which dis
placed only 1000 tons of water and were
only about half as big the st. Vincent,
that was launched the other day.
They cost an average of EI50.OOO, but
were improved upon so rapidly that ships
of that type are obsolete today, and con-
sidered useless in modern navy. The

in cost and size from their time:

Seeking a Smokeless Fuel.

Since the war between Russia and
Japan the British admiralty has en-
deavored to conceal its naval improve
ments as much as possible. Those whose
business is to keep themselves informed
of such matters are aware that many
important experiments have been going
on and that one of the most important
is to secure a set of boilers that will
burn oil or some other fuel that will
emit minimum of smoke. The navleS
of the world now have smokeless powder
which enables them to fight In a conf
paratively clear atmosphere, and they
are seeking smokeless fuel which will
enable them to conceal the movements
of their ships at sea. The location OF
battleship or cruiser may be dis
cerned from the signs in the air long
before its hull can be seen upon the
water. If it could go about without leav-
ing trail in the sky it would have
ports of successful solution of this
problem and it is now confidently assert
ed that Mr.. McQecknie, one of the ell
eineers employed by ickers. Sons AZ
Maxim. has developed IA gas power en-
CINE of sufficient strength to answer all
purposes with smokeless fuel This type
of engine is now in operation on several
destroyers and torpedo boats of 800 tons
displacement. and they are using liquid
fuel only. 1t is claimed that SIR John
Durstin, who introduced water-tube
boilers, turbine engines and oil fuel into
the British navy. has designed combina-
Iion boiler for the use of both kinds of
fuel which is said to he a great success.
but the naval experts of other nations
do not credit these reports. The highest
authorities on steam engineering in private
life insist that the problem is still I'M
solved. although they believe it is pos
sible to make a boiler that will furnish
sufficient steam without smoke and thus
enable them to build battIeships and
cruisers without tunnels and navigate
them without smoke.
