WASHINGTON, April 27.-''Are the

Senator Raynor of Maryland, in
mock seriousness, asked this question
and others even more pointed in a
speech delivered in the senate today
on the railroad administr alton bill.
He said that the democrats wanted no
more com bin ations with the insurgents
on preliminary skirmishes, but that
the recalcitrant republicans would be
welcomed into democr attic ranks if they
would only enlist and take their feel.

Pointing out that on almost all pre-

before the present congress. the insur.

the final vote is taken upon the bill,
they seem leisurely to stray away from

in him,
Mr.. Ballinger was still on the sub.

cally.

view he had in the white house with
President Roosevelt soon after his ar.
rival. Raising his voice, Mr.. Bal.
linger said:
"The president said to me as he
greeted me, Il have no apologies ia

Mr.. Ballinger then described how bic

in detail the many changes he had
made aud the innovations he bad in.
troduced. He said be first met L. r.

mer OF 1907. At that time he said
nothing had been said about coal

County Clerks Office The action has been
twice tried, the first trial resulting in a dis
agreement, and the second trial In a. verdict
of ss,0o0 and interest in favor OF the plain
tiff. who sued for certain services rendered
10 Father Jones
Justice Newburger set this verdict aside
on the ground of newly discovered evidence.
To obtain the latter John Hinkley was ap-
pointed TO take the deposition Of Cardinal
Gibbons at his home in Baltimore The
cardinal was expected TO clear up the un-
settled question whether Father Jones re-
tired voluntarily from the priesthood or
was deposed- The Cardinal said that when
he was Archbishop in 1871 he knew Father
Jones, and that he was "a rowing and
migratory character" More than likely,
he said, the Church asked him 10 retire.
IL appeared in the examination papers
that Cardinal Gibbons was not required TO
take the usual oath OF witness.

Best Yachts ITOn.

Kiel. Prussia, Feb. 26.-AdniraI Baran-
don, who attended the German and Amer
lean yacht races at Marblehead last Sep
tember. contributes an interesting account
of the contests for the new volume of the
yearbook OF the Imperial Yacht Club. OF
KieI
In regard 10 the handling os the con-
testing boats. the admiral thinks that the
Americans were not superior TO the Ger
mans. and in the case of the HaveIIa he
thinks they were decidedly outcIassed-
The German boats were superior 10 the
American only when their sails were car
ried comparatively erect-that is. when
sailing under a light wind-but so soon
as the American yachts heeled over before
the wind their showed themselves constd-
srably faster than the Germans. The ad-
miral thus sums up his judgment:
1t seems TO me, therefore, that the
American boats. except in really bad
weather, are considerably better than the
