SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
luctanee Of War Department to
Raise the Maine

Washington July 26.-The deter
mined opposition in certain official
quarters to prevent the raising OF the
wreck of the Maine that lies in the
harbor Of Havana has once more made
itself manifest. Ever since the explo
sion Of the Maine there has been Sc
cret. but apparently powerful influence
in Washington which has steadfastly
resisted every patriotic effort to raise
the Maine. because in the raising OF
the wreck the true cause Of the explo
sion that wrecked the vessel and cost
this country such a frightful toll Of
American sailors would be laid bare.
The court Of officers that made for
NAL investigation into the wreck Of
the Maine made a report that freed all
the officers Of the battleship from
blame, nor is there anywhere a belief
that Captain Sigsbee or his officers
were In anywise responsible for the
disaster. But the fact remains that
the American people have never been
given a wholly satisfactory explana-
tion of the cause OF the explosion. and
the further fact remains that there
are sinister Influences at Washington
constantly on the alert to prevent the
raising of the wreck.
After the wreck had remained a
menace to the shipping Of Havana for
IL years, Representative Sulzer last
May secured the passage of a resolu-
tion directing the war department to
provide with all possible speed for the
raising of the Maine and for the prop
er burial at Arlington of the bodies OF
the 200 sailors whose bones lie in the
wreck. For this purpose 100000 was
appropriated. No sooner had the bill
become a law than the war depart
ment began to find difficulties. The
amount appropriated, 100000. was not
enough, it was said. 1t is generally
understood that the hostility Of the
war department inspired by in
iuences in the navy department. Con-
gress, when assured by the war de
partment that 100000 was not enough
Increased the amount to 100000. and
it was evident from the speeches in
both the House and Senate that Con-
gress would appropriate a million. If
necessary, to raise the Maine and to
provide decent burial at Arlington for
her martyred crew. With the increas-
ed appropriation, and with the deter
mination shown in Congress that the
battleship Maine should be raised. it
was supposed that opposition would
vanish.
Again the war department makes
clear it's determination to exhaust ev
cry effort to prevent the raising of
the Maine. 1t has discovered a slight
typographical error. The bill raising
the amount from the original appro-
priation Of 100000 to s3OOOOO refers
to the "Act OF 1909" when it should
refer to the "Act Of 191O," because the
first resolution was passed last May.
Again a lynx-eyed investigator has
found misplaced comma. Accord
ingly, the war department announces

1t il supposed the assassin had watch

ed along through some shrubbery to
point close TO where Mr.. Rousman
was lying. His true aim. landing the
bomb beneath the hammock. proves
this theory.
Traces of footprints were found on
the lawn. Bloodhounds were secured
and an attempt made to track down
the murderer. but the dogs failed. y

that it cannot proceed to obey the
mandate of Congress to begin the
work of raising the Maine until it has
received a formal opinion from the at
tOrney general.
Congress showed its determination
not to permit the navy department to
undertake the task of raising the
Maine. The opposition of the war de-
partment to proceed with the work has
aroused the unfortunate suspicion that
there may exist somewhere reasons
why the navy department does not
want to Maine raised and thus solve
the secret Of her explosion.

COUNTING A SCORE.
II Represents tho Whole Man, Ten Fin
gers and Ten Toes.


gers and Ten Toes.
Twenty Is called score because It
represents the whole man. ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically 1t means
a cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or zone man." II was usual
to cut notch In stick and begin
again. and so 1t went on, one man, two
men. and SO on. This is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now,
a tally (French taille. cut or nicked)
means an account kept by means of a
notched stick, and until the end of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as exchequer receipts, accom-
panied by written document. This
was also the usual way Of keeping ac-
counts In the inns of the middle ages.
The number of drinks or meals a GUS
toner had were scored against him on
what was called a tally stick, and
when II reached twenty. or whole

still kept on slate, four chalk marks

STOPPED THE DUEL.
BIT Not Until Maynard Was Nearly
Dead From Terror.

SoAu teFToF.
Regnier. the French satirist of the
reign of Louis Kill. forced a quarrel
upon the poet Maynard. WHO was al
most Quakerish in his love Of peace.
Maynard could not well avoid the ap-
pearance Of taking up the quarrel. but
Immediately after the preliminaries
sought out his patron. Comte de Cler-
mont-Lodeve. and begged him to sur
prise' the party at the dueiing ground
and break up the affair. The count
promised. and Maynard went away
with a lighter heart. But his patron.
wanting some amusement. fastened to
the field and concealed himself In the
shrubbery before the party arrived.
Maynard went through the first stages
Of preparation very well. but grew
more and more nervous as time passed
and the count did not appear. Then
he began to play for delay. First he
was sure that his sword was shorter
than his adversary's. necessitating a
slow and technical measurement. Next
his boots hurt him. and he had long.
hard struggle to get them off his feet.
At last. after the cold perspiration had
begun to drip from his brow and he
was more dead than alive. his pro-
tector emerged suddenly from the
bushes and interfered A peace was
soon patched up. Maynard declaring
that II he had said anything disagree

ed to do so and Regnier accepting this
as balm for his wounded feelings. AS
Maynard threw down his sword at the
close of the parley and reached for his
hat he was heard to murmur, "Anoth-

to pull me out of a scrape. for II had
