Rowland of Johns Nonikine University has perfected arrangements for a practical test this week of his multiplex telegraphic In- setrument, to determine whether four mes- sages can be transmitted at the same time in different directions. The tnetrument will endeavor to send four messages at the fame time to Pittsburg, and to receive the same time in this city four messages from that city. The sending instrumente are fitted with keyboards like typewriters. Eight Is the regular number of messaces the instrument is designed to handle at once, but ten couid be taken without inconvenience. Each key- board must have a person to operate it; the economy ih labor ts at the receiving end. The «ix operators rattle ahead with their messages as rapidly as they choose and without regard to one another. One of the devices of the instrument adjusts the words in such a way that the space letters of the reepective messages can not start on the main wire out of the regular turn. Ae the receiving station, the Rowland rece!ver performs tts work without human aid. The fight messages are automatically separated and dietributed to six instruments. These print out the messngee as fast as received. the only attention necessary at the receiving «tation {s to supply the instru- ment with paper and take away the printed esheets. DEWEY NEEDS MEN. Sailors Wanted to Take the Places of Those Whose Time Hs Expired. WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Admiral Dewey cabled to the Navy Department when he might expect the Buffalo to arrive at Man- fla, and requesting that she might be hur- ried as much as possible. The Buffalo is carrying 5600 men to the Asiatic Squadron to take the place of those whose terms of Service have expired, and who are now ex- ceedingly anxious to return to the United Dates Many of these men would ordi- narily have come home on the flagship Olympia, which was on the point of start- ing for San Francisco when the Maine was Dblown up, but was retained by Admiral Dewey on a cable warning from Acting Gecretary Roosevelt, The Admiral has now informed the Navy Department that eondi- tions in the Philippines have materiaily changed that he will send a few officers and men to San Francisco on the next transport which leaves Manila.

The rovbery was discovered about 8 o clock yesterday morning by the janitor. The bars of the outer:.vault door were ihrown and the clock was going. The two inuer doors to the vault were locked. The outer door of the safe. which also time lock on it. was found open. quired an hour for the officia:s to work the combinations of the upper and lower inner doors. When these were opened it Was discovered that almost all the gold and paper money in the safe had been stolen, None of the silver or notes were taken. Livery window and door opening into the room Was examined carefully and the doors and locks on the vaults were closely in- spected, but not a mark was found to in- dicate that any violence had been used upon the inner doors of the small inner vault. The combination and tumblers still worked almost the same as before, the only noticeable difference being that they seemed to work harder and there was con- siderable difficulty experienced in opening the inner doors for the firet time. The police worked about the bank until noon, and found no clew except three rough hand-made Keys. One was a key such as is used to change the combination of safe locks, and the other two appeared to be ordinary keys. Whether or not these keys were used can only be conjectured, but it is certain that they could have been of no use on the time locks of either the main Vault or inner safe. An expert safe man hes heen sent fi and several of the stockholders hav - ployed the services of detectives.

No one can be found who saw any one en- ter the bank. The fact that the bank is lo- cated on the most public corner in the city makes the robbery still more mysterious. HOMES FOR JACK TARS. Planting Buildings to Shelter Worn- Out American Seamen. NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Commodore Philip is now at the head of the sub-committee of the international committee for the Young Men's Christian Association which is planning to build a home for jack tars near the Brooklyn Navy Yard to cost $100,000. But the home in Brooklyn will not be the only one. There will be others, costing almost as much, in Boston. New- port, Norfolk, San Francisco, and perhaps in Manila and Havana, These buildings will be for enlisted sea- men, and later there will be some buildings in the large cities for enlisted soldiers.

The negroes involved say the police gave out the swinging floor story in order to cover up the failure they made of the raid; the officers maintain they said nothing and knew less of any hinged outlets, admit it was a mystery to them how forty men melted away on the Christmas alr. After an inspection of the premises Tues- day the discovery was made that there was but one exit the cellar and that Was through a door leading to a stairs. There were several windows and grated cover- ings. If there was any mechanism about the floor for tilting it, it was most artfulty concealed. Barkeeper Sonny James said solemnly that some one must hive had delirium tremens, and he held a morn.ng newspaper in his hand when he said it.

I never be- fore knew that fifty men could pile through a four-foot front dour in a minute before. They scattered like rats. Two policemen were in the front of the saloon, one in the yard and one came inside and yet they let those men slip away. No wonder they gave it out that the floor worked on hinges.”’ Officer McKenna said: ‘I don’t know how they got away, as I was in the back yard There were three exits, though.’ Officer.

Prof. Davidson's plea for expansion in the Sunday Post- jepatch is a sery closely reasoned argument, and deserves houghtful consideration Rut he seems to take too much for granted. Itisn true we all desire to propagate American principles and Jeas. But can by making violent conquests and nocking our ideas into the heads of unwilling races” Morevcyver, the “imperial policy” not pretend to cone emplate the promotion of American principles. The principle Which underlies the whole American polity is that government @crives its just powers from the consent of the governed. Do we propose to teach this to the Filipinos by applying the opposite in the government we give them” Rut if the Americans are to go into benevolence as a busi- ness, why stop at the Philippines? Why not make a philan- thropic invasion of China and compel the Mandarins, at the point of the bayonet, to accept American ideas, manners and institutions. We must grow and expand while we are vital. But imperial- fem is not the American way, nor can it be adopted without surrendering the very root principles of our political life. a ‘ = aa 2eoe Hav as Battleship Armor. Adjutant-General Corbin’s baled hay for the defense of our transports might be a good thing for our battleships, and it would be cheaper than steel plates. The farmers would like sell the Government enough hay for a naval campaign. netGidbe FRANCHISE CONTROLLING COMMISSION. The special committee of the Chicago Civic Federation pro- Poses to get a law passed providing for a commission with power to control the granting of franchises, thus taking such power out of the hands of the municipal assembly. Witn such a commission in control, the citizens would have ewer boodlers t’ hang, in case the hanging crisis were reached. On the other hand, the franchise grabbers would have fewer dividuals to buy out, though just as much boodle might be uired to make the purchase. The experience of St. Louis with police missions has shewn that such bodies are not, in themselves, iny muarantee that the city’s interests will be protected. Whether appointed or elected, men are likely to get into them who care more for selfish and private interests than for the wublic good.

Such treatment shows that during hibernation.” It was dented that the franchise wag to be sold or that the franchise had a market value which could be realized in the market. To obscure the Post-Dispatch's clear statement of the case there was a cloud of denials and counter statements. Now comes the proof of the correctness of the Post-Dis- patch’s statement, and of the righteousness of its opposition to the infamous grab. The deal has been consummated and the stolen property turned into cash by the sale of the franchise tothe Brown Syndicate before any costly work has been done or adollar has been paid to the city. The amount of money realized by the owners of the franchise represented the value of the franchise in excess of the com- pensation to be paid the city. It represented the value of the grant alone filched from the people by the purchase of their officials. The city has been robbed of the sale price of the franchise by a gung of speculators in conspiracy with a gang of boodlers. The whole infamous deal is now clearly revealed to the vic- timized people. Burglary is respectable in comparison with it. WORDS USED BY WRITERS. A statistician in Paris hes had the pa- tience to count the number of words em- ploved by the most celebrated wr ters.

If Stone goes East ‘twill be small loss— Missouri can spare its would-be boss; But Stone should stick somewhere as per- manent joss. For a rolling stone gathers no moss. As to Missouri Leaders. From the Scott County (Mo) Newsboy. Which, indeed? Is it to be ex-Gov,. Stone, against whose acts and expressions haif of the Democracy of the Bitate has raised in protest and defended by the other haif only because of. what he has done in the past? Or is it to be Senator Vest, against whom there has never been a suspicion of being an employe of the sugar trust or a traitor to Bryan? There Things Are Straws. From the Bonne Terre Star. It is said that Mr. Stone was in Texas in company with a sugar trust “capper,” and that he helped ‘“‘tix’’ the Texas State con- vention. It is said that Stone countenanced and helped this ‘‘capper’’ of the sugar trust in his effort to awaken sentiment in favor of Jawalian annexation. Mr. Stone is said with being In a deal with Boss Croker, and by a reference to Eastern Croker papers it will be seen that Mr. Stone’s name is freely used with that of Mr. Croker'’s schemes. All these things are straws, of but they are enough to warrant sourl Democrats in being suspicious. The Ex-Governor Has Flopped. From. the Richmond (Mo.) Conservator. Ex-Gov. Stone is an expansionist, or ws at the Springfield convention. and W. J Bryan is an anti-expansionist. One or the other will have to surrender his —— or the two Willies will have to part blanke's, The country will watch for further develop- ments and see which one flops. The “Why.” From the Calumet Banner. Ic has perhaps never been made right clear to the minds of the people just why ex-Gov. Stone became so thoroughly iinbued with the Republican policy of :mperiallam as to himself ‘“‘pair’’ with it and advocate that other Democrats should do ‘likewise. Mr. Stone certainly had some reason for advocating this policy. Mr. Stone has, of course, been explaining at the rate of three explanations in two days for some time, but there are a good many things in his re- cent machinations that Mr. Stone would not dare attempt to explain. Mr. Stone is attorney for a big St, Louig tobacco corpor- ation. a fact whieh he advertised in his speeches. The President of this concern ts Mr. Stone’s “millionaire” friend whose prof- fered bribe of a thousand dollars for the accomplishment of a certain purpose came near getting the ex-Governor kicked bod-ly down a flight of stairs. It is certainly right that an emplove should be faithful to his emplayer, but when it comes to attempting to carry the whole Democratic party away from its principles in the discharge of per- sonal duty. as in the case of Mr. Stone, it is carrying matters beyond the limit of pru- dence and the people will ask ‘‘why?"’ The most logi¢al answer we haye seen to the ‘why’ in this matter is expressed in an in- terv.ew with Hon. Leon Balley, a staunch Democrat of Indianapolis, who in the dis- cussion of imperialism said: ‘‘All this poll- cy, so dangerous, so un-American, is chief- cour*ee, Mis- ly inspired by the great tobacco truste who now that in an the tropical islands they will Be ret nearly one hundred millicns annual be.ng paid in duty upon these commod - ities. To be sure, this substantial revenue pow be- ing received by the Government wih vaste ly inerease the deficit which muat other- wise be provided for in acme form of tlon upon the dear people.” Read and reflect’ The advantages a to the tobacco (rust mentioned aceru ne would likewise accrue to the corporation and which Mr. Stone is attorney whose business he boosted in hls udiic utterances throughotit the State. " Floating Rumors. From the Dunkiin Democrat. It is to be hoped that Willlam J. st will either not confer with Croker, to come one of his lieutenants, or if that he will not expect to take Mi memoers ts with him. “or several months there haa been t- ing over Missour! a rumor that Bh Democratic leaders were in the pay of the Sugar trust, the hokiers of Spanish coleny bonds and the trusts and cor rations that hope to a ery. valuable franchises and con- cess'one in new territory that me quired by expansion. 7a Ex-Gov. Stone’s Lightning Change. From the Lincoln (Mo.) Democrat. And now comes the St. Louls Post-Dis- patch and in a double column editorial avers thet ex-Gov. Stone has changed his position on territorial expansion. Terrie torial expansion will not find favor amon people who digest facts hefore affirmi or denying the good of any question, If Stone is an anti-expansionist now, and we believe he is, it may be accepted as lutely certain that the Democratic party of this country will not depart from its core rect teaching to accept jhe dangerous prine Ciple of imperialism. Some Tall Explaining. From the Bonne Terre Star. The Democracy of Missour! do not tr ticularly disl ke a man if he poses as thelr boss, so long as that man’s bossism is directed along congenial lines; but It seems that our ex-Governor, William Joel Stone, has posed as a boss «o long that he is bent upon trying to lead the Democracy of the State into strange pastures. In the Springfleld convention he was partiaily successful, owing to a combination of eclir- cumetunces. but the opposition that has developed since then toward Mr. Stone and his policies bids fair to place him far in the rear, unless he does some tall explain- ng. Deceiving N o One. From the Bollinger County (Mo.) Times, Ex-Gov. Stone has written a letter to the St. Lou's Republic denying that he is, or wus at any time, for expansion, but that he is in fullsympathy with the policy of Bena- tor Vest. This will appear strange to men familiar with the recent history of Missouri! politica. It i# well known to them that Stone stumped the State, so to speak, before the Springfield convention in favor of expan- sion. It is aiso well known that Bland and Vest were bitterly against it, and that Stone captured the convention-—sat down on Silver Dick tn that convention. But the tide has turned. Bill sees and is retrench- ing, but he is not deceiving any one, Un- less it be himself. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Most of those who are indigent are provided for by their States and by organized charitable institutions in the South. The great majority of ex-Confed- erates have been self-supporting and tin- dependent, a faet which is largely due to the hard conditions which surrounded them at the close of the war. Necessity nerved them for the struggle befere them and poverty brought developed energies which produced thrift. They expected no offices, no bounties, no pensions at the hands of the Government—nothing except what they vould make and earn for them- selves in the struggle for life. They have not asked for pensions, and they will not ask for them, They are glad to witness the era of good feeling between the sece tions, and. they leve their country, but they want no pensions.

While August Mastebrook was enjoying his Christmas dinner six five-gallon zinc buckets disaspeared from his store at Fourth and Poplar streets. The grocer suspects the “Spruce street gang,”’ but what causes him the most mental unrest is his moving confidence in his strong- jawed watchdoy. He fears the “gang” has won over the animal, and that when the thieves entered the store Towser found in them old friends and refrained from giving an alarm. He Is Not George Bates.

HE WAS BOOKKEEPER FOR SECRETARY NEISON ALLEGES THAT $3000 OF THE FUNDS ARE MISSING. KING DECLARES HE NEVER TuOK A CENT. He Says a New System of Bookkeeping, Inaugurated Last May, Is Re- sponsible for a Misap- prehension. John M. King was arrested Monday night and locked in the Central District hold- over on a charge of being wanted in Bluff- ton, Md., for a $2000 embezzlement. King was bookkeeper for the Bluffton branch of the National Torpedo Company, also operating under the name of the Em- pire Glycerine Company. He had no fam- y. lived a rapid life and spent money freely. In July last King shipped his trunk to Chicago, and, without any leave-taking, followed it the next day. A week later Mr. Neleon Francis, the secretary of the com- pany, hearing nothing from King, became suspicious and ordered an investigation of his books. It is alleged a shortage of near- ly $300 was discovered. King was a shrewd accountant, and it is eaid he covered his tracks to the extent that the exact amount of the defalcation could not be ascertained. The police in the different Southwestern cities were notified and Monday night King was arrested by Detectives Walsh and Mc- Carty. Tuesday morning King spoke freely on tthe subject, and laughed when asked about the amount. “‘Why, it was nothing like $300),"" he said. ‘If any shortage was dis- covered it would probably only amount to 00. I never handled a cent of the money. Nelson, the secretary, had all that “T can easily explain this matter, and it will be fixed up when 1 go back. A new system of bookkeeping was introduced in May and I could not handle it very well. It was a loose system, and if there are any mistakes they are due to that cause. “I left because I didn’t like the place. I had $100 with me and that did not belong to the company.” King said he was surprised when arrested and thought. his friends in Bluffton would straighten out the affair. King is a man of prepossessing manners and dressed in the height of fashion, About his personal history he is reticent and refuses to state what he has’done in the six months that have elapsed since his disappearance from Bluffton. He will be held by the police until the Bluffton sheriff, who has wired that he has Started tor St. Louis, has arrived. No requisition will be necessary. NOT A MORPHINE FIEND. Dr. Blackshire Says He Was Suffering From Malarial Fever. Registered as a patient at the City Hos- pital Tuesday morning was Dr. F. R. Blackshire, ,whose residence is given as 2901 Chestnut street. Blackshire was received at 5:3 o'clock Tuesday morning, and the police report which accompanied him said he was ad- dicted to morphine. Biackshire is 3 years old and says he came from Emporia, Kan., four years ago. He was graduated, he says, more than a years ago from the Barnes Medical College and has been practicing medicine at 290 Chestnut street ever since. For four weeks, he says, he has been suffering with mala- rial fever. “Last night I wanted to see my friend, and I went over to Sergt. Boyd,”’ he said, “ the police etation. My fever was so high that I did not fully realize what I was doing. I put on my overcoat over my night- clothes and started out in my bare feet. I am not a morphine fiend.

The Supreme Courtof Missouri has been asked by Attorney-General E. C, Crowe to pass upon s°cveral questions of great in- terest to the public in its relation to street railway companies. Whetaer one company can legally buy or or absolve the lines of another company is one of the questions at issue. If it or abolish the lines of another company known and described as the ‘‘Lindell grab,” which was recently granted the LAndell Railway, will be annulled. The suit ts on the nature of a quo war- ranto proceeding. The Attorney-General holds that the charter granted the Lin- dell in 1864 did not and does not confer the right to do anything except what it speci- fles—that is, to construct, maintain and operate street railways. This Attorne y Gen- eral Crow maintains, does not mean right to purchase or lease other lines. If this contention be right, the franchise granted the Lindell is void. If the Lindell’'s franchise is void it ts argued that of the Central Traction Com- pany can aleo be reveked, and it is said Attorney General Crow will attack it as soon as the Supreme Court passes on the questions he has raised in ‘his sult. Hie petition is long and contains an ex- haustive ioistory of the Lindell company, ehowing what powers are specifically con- ferred on it by its charter and relating those that are assumed asaright. He asks that the company be required to ehow by what warrant it claims to have the lib- erties, privileges and franchises it enjoys. These assumed rights are set forth in the petition as followe: 1. Of extending, constructing, maintain- ing and operating a street railway with a Gouble track within the city of St. Louis on and along a route described as follows. Beginning at the intersection of the tracks of the Forest Park, Laclede and Fourth Street Railway Co. at Laclede avenue. where the same intersects Channing avenue, thence northwardly along Channing avenue to and into Cook avenue, thence westwanily along Cook avenue to and into Prarie avenue. thence northwardly along Prarie avenue to and into Evans avenue, thence westwardly along Pvans avenue to and into Ls te ol avenue, to @ connec- per on Deafness, Published Au- CHESTERFIELD NEVER Wore finer Sults. better made or more fitting than our ] ) . $25.00 Business Suits. ) J.H.
