Oustod After a Fight.

New York City. Charles f. Muir

Of the most sensational sessions of
State convention ever held in this
State. 1t followed dramatic APP

hurled defiance at Tammany and
threatened it's disruption.
One of the most exciting episodes
occurred at midnight when more
than two score delegates rushed to
the platform of Carnegie Hall, and,
with shouts of Gag rule! and Out
rage!" demanded their rights.
They declared substitution had
been made in the list of the new State
Committee and that the Murphy-Con-
ners combination had seized absolute
control of the organization.
The chairman announced that the
convention, instead of the Senate dis
sricts, would choose the delegates.
This precipitated riot Delegates
rushed toward the platform to assault
the chairman. Mr.. Carmody, OF
Yates, who was presiding, broke his
gavel. The sergeant-at- arms and his
assistants were knocked down. me
reporters and their tables were over
turned. Half the policemen seemed
to be afraid to modest anybody or TO
take sides. In the middle OF all the
disorder the chairman announced the
resolution carried that the convention

were on their feet protesting. The
secretary called the roll while the
crowd clamored and Carmody de-
clared that the resolution was car
ried through, 254 to 1928. Then he
said the convention was adjourned.
1t was the most sensational Demo-
cratic State Convention held since
Van Wyck was nominated for Gov
arnor against Theodore Roosevelt, in
1898.

Pugnacity of Rats.

A glove manufacturer took from a
cabinet handsome pair of brown
gloves. These gloves are made of
ratskin," he said. They look well
at first glance, but examine them
carefully. Look into the skim. The
skin, though soft and fine, revealed
on close examination great many
cuts and scars and scratches. None
of these went quite through. Never
theless their effect was to weaken the
gloves greatly. Those cuts and
scars" said the manufacturer, ARE
What bar ratskin out of gloyemaking,
You never get skin without them;
hence you can't turn the damaged
skin into a good glove. Rats fight SO
much that they become at an early
age mass of scars. Their torn hides
are of no use to commerce"

PRESIDENT WANTS BATTLEsHTPs
Sends Message Advocating -Four In
stead of Two,

Washington, D. c. Declaring that
he is actuated by the spirit of George
Washington and quoting in his de-
Tense a message of the first President,
President Roosevelt sent a message
to Congress advocating an appropria-
ton for four first-class battleships,
instead of the Two fighting craft rec
commended by the House Naval Com
mittee. In this message the President
points out that, while the additional
ships are primarily for the purpose of
promoting international peace, they
are made necessary by the failure of
the powers to agree to any treaties
curtailing the size of nayies or tbs,
size of individual ships.
The Presidents message reached
the House in the midst of the discus
sion of the Naval Appropriation bill.
Representative Hobson finished his
speech for four battleships, and had
been loudly applauded.

vIENNA's LOAN.
She is Now One of Europe's Most In-
debted Cities.

ueDIeu NIlAtSs
With a new municipal loan of
fifteen millions sterling Vienna be-
comes one of the most heavily in
1ebted municipalities in Europe. Not
withstanding this, the project of the
Burgomaster, DIR. Lueger, was APP
proved by the City Council and Pro-
vincial Diet, whose consent is neces-
sary for the loan, almost without de-
bate, so that it is now necessary that
it should be put on the market as
soon as the financial situation has i'm
proved. The loan will be spread over
term of ninety years, and interest
will be at the rate of four per cent.
BY far the greater part of the sum
will be absorbed by the municipal
ownership undertakings, of which vi
emma has SO large and varied num-
Der. Electric lighting will take three
and half millions; tramways, two
and three-quarters; gas, million and
quarter; municipal brewery, half
million; a cemetery, 100000,
chiefly for the building of an inn
undertaking, 100000, and meat and
provision markets, slaughter houses,
storehouses, with, probably, munich
pal coal depots, which are now under
discussion, million and quarter
more. Ten millions are thus disposed
of. The remaining five millions will
be used for completing new aque-
duct, paving, scavenging, removing
old buildings and erecting new ones,
parks, gardens, a jubilee hospital, a
technical museum and miscellaneous
purposes. 1t is announced that the
Diet of Lower Austria also intends to
borrow a very considerable sum of
money, and as Vienna's proportion of
taxation in the province amounts to
eighty per cent, the citizens will have
to provide for this new impost in adj
dition to their own fifteen millions
