Chase, a hotel manager of Tyler. Tex., tes tified in the Swayne inquiry to-day that Judge Swayne was at his hotel for twenty-six days, and was charged $2.50 per day. W. H. Hoskins was recalled to tes tify as to the loss of business, while his property was seized in bankruptcy proceedings. Hoskins said that dur ing the time his property was held he was ready to pay all his debts, but was not allowed to do so. W. H. H. Miller, Attorney General during the administration of President Harrison, when Swayne was appoint ed. was called and denied the testi mony of John Wurts. who had said that Miller had assured him (Wurts) that he would be appointed judge of the Florida district. Wurts also had said that Miller told him that the ad ministration had determined to prose cute the election frauds, and that they ■wanted a man who would secure the conviction of those who were to be indicted. Mr. Miller denied that he had ever made such a suggestion to Wurts. He spoke of the careful man ner in which the selection of Judge was made, and said he would no more have made an intimation of that kind than he would have requested money for securing the appointment. Mr. Miller said he could not remem ber Wurts and had no recollection of the conversation which Wurts had de tailed. He did remember that a man named Wurts was a candidate for Judge at that time. E. P. Axtelle of Florida was called and denied testimony of John Wurts relative to the election cases before Judge Swavne. Axtelle was counsel for Receiver Durkee of Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railroad. He said that Durkee’s -private car was sent but once to Delaware for Judge Swayne. The car also was sent to the Pacific Coast with Judge Swayne. $1.25 a Day at That limine. Mrs. Annie E. Russell of Tyler. Tex., testified that Judge Swayne stopped at her house some time in January, 1903, for four or six weeks. He was charged 11.25 a day for his board and lodging. Robert J. Boone was recalled and declared that a certain letter signed by a rubber stamp with his signature was a forgery. This letter was put in evidence in Florida and stated that, "If we can get young Hoskins at tached for contempt we can break the old man down.” This related to the bankruptcy proceedings against W. H. Hoskins. An attempt to introduce tax returns showing that Hoskins was not worth the amount he claims to be, provoked a controversy. Part of the evidence was admitted. It was shown by Boone that Hoskins' settlement with Boone’s clients was for 50 cents on the dollar. Mr. Higgins offered at various times papers to show that Hoskins was a bankrupt. During the progress of the examination of Boone on these points, Mr. Palmer of the Committee, remarked that it had been shown in previous testimony that a conspiracy existed against Hoskins between Boone and Calhoun to declare Hoskins a bankrupt. “I>, ami go Are Yon,” Said Boone. When Attorney I.iddon began the cross-examination of Boone, he asked if he was under indictment for fel ony. “Yes,” answered the witness, "and so are you." The committee ordered the latter part of the answer stricken out. Jn answer to another question, Boone said he was charged with embezzlement. Boone was then examined regarding the letter signed by a rubber stamp with Boone’s name and also a tele gram in relation to the same. Boone denied all knowledge of the letter and could not recollect anything about the telegram. Boone was shown a number of tele grams relating to the Hoskins bank ruptcy proceedings, but could not re member whether he sent them. He also was shown a number of letters from his office signed with a rubber stamp, some of which he acknowledged as written by him or by his clerk. These all related to the bankruptcy proceedings against Hoskins. Without completing the cross-exam ination of Boone, the committee ad journed until Monday. SHIP OWNERS WANT AID.

Regarding the work of the com mission, Senator Gallinger, its chair man. to-day issued a statement, which concludes: “Without exception the American •hip owners consulted by the commis •lon declared that the passage of a •♦mple free ship law, without some further encouragement to American shipping, would do nothing whatever to increase the American Merchant Marine.” To Original Obligations.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 26. —The result of the conference of the Zemstvoists still remains a matter of speculation. Bureaucratic circles generally are of the opinion that the conference was a farce, and that it will lead to nothing; but a vast majority of the intelligent class is convinced that it has placed upon record the desire of the country for a change in the present form of government. The conviction prevail ing in many quarters, however. is that no change will come immediately. With a view to clearing up the sit uation the Associated Press corre spondent to-day interviewed M. Sou vorin, the veteran editor of The No voe Vremva. He said: “I certainly think the conference was highly significant. It shows the neces sity for a departure from the present system. I think some form of nation al representation is bound to come. "Our greatest need is freedom to work, think, speak and write. That freedom seems unattainable under the present bureaucratic regime, which compresses the activity of the whole nation and raises countless obstacles In the way of personal initiative and enterprise. "There is not the slightest ground to believe in the success of a revolution ary movement in Russia. Indeed, since the advent of Interior Minister Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky and his appeal for mutual confidence the tendency among Influential and sober-minded members of the community is all the other way. "Whatever the future may have in store, 1 am convinced that a reversion to the P'ehve system is impossible. Public opinion has developed such strength under stress of our present adversities that stern repression is no longer appreciable.” GOMPERS RE-ELECTED.

ATLANTA’S COMING I ADMINISTRATION ATLANTIANS ARE GUESSING WHAT MAYOR-ELECT WOOD WARD’S POLICY WILL, BE. At Oats With the Chief of Police and Recorder a Stir-l'p it Expected In the Capitol Police Department. The “Sports” Feel a Little Easier Than They Have Been Feeling Thonah Nobody is Looking for a “Wide Open Town.” Atlanta, Nov. 26. —There is much anxious speculation Indulged In as to the policy of the approaching admin istration of Mayor-elect James G. Woodward toward the city officials and departments. Mayor Woodward goes into office the first of January, and becomes ex-officio, a member of the police board. He also has the power of appointing a member of this board from Council in the person of the chairman of the Police Committee. “Agin” the Police. The Mayor-elect is said to be per sonally antagonistic not only to Re corder Nash Broyles, but to Chief of Police John W. Ball. The Anti-Ball element will be in the majority on the police board In any event, and though Ball has made an able and an efficient chief, there are many who believe he will have to go. Woodward’s dielike for Ball, it Is said, dates back to his last term, as Mayor, when the chief, then a captain of police, accorded him the same treatment given to the pris oners under similar circumstances. Whether a strong public opinion will operate to save Chief Ball, remains to be seen. The Woodward administration, it is said, will support Malvern Hill, a law yer and an.ex-member of Council, for the office of Recorder. The opposition to Broyles grows out of the charge that he runs the Recorder’s Court not as a court of justice, but as a revenue pro ducing institution, treating as fish all that fall into the police net. To Superannuate Old Policemen. Another feature of the policy of the Woodward administration, it is said, will be to superannuate, the old mem bers of the police force, either pension ing them or putting them in the city parks, where their duties will be light. It, is proposed to appropriate $5,000 the first year as a police pension fund, if the consent of Council can be secured. Fortunately the administration of the fire department is so tied up by law that it cannot be tampered with. The heads of city departments, who owe their election to the people or to Coun cil, are in for two years more, and little can be done to them, but there are one or two minor employes around the city hall, whose scalps are in loud demand, and the indications are they will have to go. A Mnn of Independent Action. New boards will be appointed which will carry out the Woodward policy as far as possible, for there is one thing certain, the M'ayor-elect has a policy of his own as has been shown by his positive and independent course as a member of the aldermanic board. Mayor Woodward has already chos en as his private secretary. Press Hud dleston, a well known printer, who is in good favor with all who know him. “Sports” Feel Easier. Nobody looks for anything alarming ly radical under the new Mayor, but the “sports” feel that things will be a little easier for them for the next two years. There have been some sugges tions of a “wide open town,” but no one believes it will go to anything like that extent. As an alderman. Wood ward strongly advocated granting a two weeks racing privilege with pool selling at Piedmont Park, but Council acceded to the demands of the minis ters and voted down the petition. Al together no alarming fears are express ed except perhaps in those departments which are likely to be directly affected. ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR REPORTED PROGRESSING.

New York, Nov. 26.—C00l headed management on the part of the theater officials, actors and others in the Har lem Opera House, this afternoon dur ing a performance of “Letty,” checked an incipient panic in which nearly all the persons in the audience left their seats and many could not be restrained from leaving the theater.

While employes of the theater ran to different parts of the house shouting that there was no dan ger, the asbestos curtain was run down and the fire exits were opened. No Yellow Fever in Cuba.

London, Nov. 26.—Baron Suyematsu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito, president of the Japanese privy council, whose comment was fully indorsed by Baron Hayashl, the Japanese minister here, discussing the irritation of Japan at the continued supply of British coal to vessels of the Russian Second Pa cific squadron, said to-day: “We feel strongly that Europe in general is assisting Russia in a way we never contemplated. Even in Eng land individuals are rendering much indirect assistance. Without English coal the Russian squadron could not have gone far, and It is my belief that when contraband trade is being car ried on in such a wholesale and open fashion, the government concerned should take steps to prevent a contin uance of action prejudicial to another nation, especially when that nation happens to be an ally.” Discarded the Confession.

UI Hit ALTAIC* TWO HUNDRED YEARS. Taken by It nuke In 1704 As An Af tertbought, Novr Britain's Pride. From the Nineteenth Century and After. On Aug. 4, 1704 (new style), the Rock of Gibraltar was captured by Great Britain, and it has remained In her possession from that day to this. Among the many possesinons scattered all over the globe that are comprised In the British empire to-day there Is none that the nation holds with greeter tenecity for I*ooollo both of oentiment I and of material Interest, and none that it would lose wit It more poignant shame and sorrow, than the redoubt- ' able atronghold we look from Spain at the beginning of the reign of Queen Anne. Tlie fact 1 hat throughout the eigh teenth century, when on many con-1 queats In both hemispheres changed! hands be* kward and forward in sue. j teed ve wars and under stecusadv# wen ties, Gibraltar remained permanently in the keeping of England might seem to prove that British sentiment with regard to it was from the first the same as it is to-day. But this is far from having been the cause. For, al though at the end of 200 years of our possession of the fortress, at a time when the imperial instinct of English men has become more consciously de veloped and more deeply ingrained than ever before, and at the same time more intelligently appreciative of the true meaning of sea power and alive to the strategical requirements of its maintenance, the retention of the key of the Mediterranean has become an essential article of oiy political creed, it was a considerable time before the immense value of the acquisition w r as fully realized by British statesmen. It seems strange enough to us to remember that King George I and his ministers were ready to give up Gi braltar merely to secure Spain’s acqui escence in the arrangement by which the quadruple alliance was anxious to make some pettifogging modifications in the shuffle of territories affected by the Treaty of Utrecht, but it is still more extraordinary that so clear sight ed, patriotic and high spirited an em pire builder as Lord Chatham himself should have made a similar offer as an inducement to Spain to help us to re cover Minorca—and this, moreover, at a time when the fortress had been in our hands for more than half a cen tury and its vital Importance to our growing maritime supremacy had al ready been abundantly proved in the naval wars of the period. Happily the Spaniards were as blind as ourselves to the supreme importance of the po sition, commanding the road from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The truth is, as readers of Mahan do not need to be reminded, that the importance of sea power and the na ture of the foundations on which it is based were very Imperfectly grasped even by England in the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth century, and scarcely at all by any other European power. Occasionally at intervals some statesmen like Col bert, In France, or Alberoni, in Spain, had more than an inkling of the truth, but no nation except England made deliberate and sustained efforts with a view to maritime development. Even England did so rather by instinct than by insight. Of the blindness to the true princi ples of maritime policy the taking of Gibraltar and Its history during the following three-quarters of a century afford a striking Illustration. Just as the vast importance of Its acquisition was at the time underrated both by England and Spain, so its actual cap ture by the former was an after thought and (It may also be said) an accident. It became a British posses sion In the first instance because at a time when we happened to be at war with one of the rival claimants to Spanish throne our admiral In the Mediterranean happened to have no particular olijestlve in view, and, having failed in his only enterprise of that year, was unwilling to return home with a fine fleet that had done nothing for the honor of the flag. So he thought he m'ght as well make an attack on Gibraltar as do anything else. Nevertheless, his action has to be reckoned among the notable "deeds that won the empire.” and one that on Its bl-centenary deserves to be had In remembrance. NEW THRILLS WANTED. Fan-Makintt Novelties Are Wanted fur Amusement Farka. From the Philadelphia Record. If Inventory*ant anew problem for •hair Ingeunity to tackle there Isa very profitable one open In (he development of Interesting amusement resort* feat ures. A good authority declares that, while a grunt number of people work on this problem, there le an absolute dearth of awcegaful novelties. As ■f Bet vf fat 4 kvvntif is uvl rii as the merry-go-round, which has been known for thirty years, is as good a paying device as ever. The modern examples, how’ever, are much more elaborate than those of yore, one built during the past season costing $150,000. Despite their last cost, most amuse ment devices, where run under one management in a park, are very re munerative, the earnings often running up to 80 and 100 per cent, per annum. A modern scenic railway costs about SIB,OOO, and always has a following when properly located and safely built. A shoot the chutes is a short-lived de vice, although costing from $15,000 to $20,000. The profits, however, are enor mous, often running up to S9OO on crowded days. The old mill that made its appearance three years ago costs anywhere from $14,000 to $16,000, and may easily earn SI,OOO a day, with 10- cent fares. The coal mine is a varia tion of the old mill, tracks taking the place of the canals and papier-mache tunnels and stopes and banks and oaves of the old mill. Anew devise that has made its ‘appearance during the past season, and already men tioned in these columns. Is a circle swing. This is a variation of the mer ry-go-round, in which the centrifugal force of the cars carries them upward and outward In their horizontal revolu tions. When taking on passengers the cars almost touch the ground at the base of a tower, which may be sixty feet high. 'Their suspension is such that as the speed increases they swing outward until they attain a hight of approximately sixteen feet above the ground and a corresponding distance from the pole. The device is entirely safe and de pends largely on the element of speed for its fascination. The down-and-out device, which is nothing but a patented fire-escape, whose inventor has been very successful in Introducing it Into schools and hospitals, proved a money maker during its first season. The modification that always comes with each successful device is known this season as the Chilkoot Pass, and this possesses the desirable feature of al lowing others to enjoy the amusement, the result being a good-natured, high ly-amused crowd, which means a crowd ready to spend money liberally. The Chilkoot Pass has an incline of about 50 degrees. It is made of ma ple, set with the grain running toward the bottom to prevent slivers, and about thirty feet wide and fifty feet in length. The incline trip is made Interesting by the presence of hugs bumps or humps of highly polished maple, the effect of which, these being set at irregular intervals, Is to change the direction of descent, landing the slider on a pad at the bottom, and in “a more or less reckless and excited condition" What will the Inventor pro vide for next season? THE MAMMOTH. When Hie GlKantle Mammal Floor- Inked. From the Church Standard. In the Stone Age, thousands of years ago, the island of Britain, now the tranquil home of Industry, was cov ered wllh woods that were the haunts of wild beasts such as'are now found In tropical regions. The lion and the cave tiger, more terrible than that of Bengal, preyed on the herds of elk and reindeer, and the huge mam moth browsed on the young shoots of the lofty trees. This gigantic creature, though, like the modern elephant, an herbivorous animal, must, from Its formidable as pect. have carried terror to the hearts of the feeble human beings who crouch ed for shelter In caverns and holed in the rocks, as It came crashing through the pine forests, making the earth tremble beneath Its ponderous tread; perhaps seising In Its trunk and bending to the ground the vety tree in which some trembling fugitive had taken refuge. For the mammoth eg ceeded In else the largest elephant of the present day, being from sixteen t*> eMfbtsaa feel in MagUn Mt 4 mas covered with wool and long hair, waa armed with immense semicircular tusks and its mighty neck bristled with a thick mane. These animals appear to have exist ed In great numbers throughout Eu rope and Northern Asia. Indeed, there i“ an island off Siberia entirely com posed of mammoth bones, Efend and ice, and the trade in mammoth ivory has been carried on by the Siberians for centuries. From finding the tusks and bones in the ground, the natives con cluded they belonged to a huge an imal that lived underground, and so called it the mammoth, which is s’aid to mean, in the Siberian language, “earth beast.” It is to the circum stance of the mammoth being an in habitant of cold climes that we owe our knowledge of its appeatiance, for while the bones only are found of other extinct animals, entire carcasses of the mammoth, with the skin and hair on, have been discovered in the frozen soil of Siberia. In 1799 the melting of ice at the mouth of the river Lena partially ex posed a shapeless mass, which, as the ice that enveloped it disappeared, prov ed to be the frozen body of a mam moth. It lay there for several years, during which time it was much muti lated by the Yakuts cutting off the flesh to feed their dogs with, and by being eaten by the polar bears. At length the skeleton and what remained of the skin, which was so heavy that it required ten men to carry it, were removed to the Museum of the Aca demy of St. Petersburg. The skin was clothed with reddish wool, portions of which are now in the Museum of the College of Surgeons in London. The discovery in the cavern of La Madeleine, in France, of a portion of mammoth tusk, on which a drawing of the animal itself was rudely scratch ed, proves that it existed when men were on the earth. From its thick wooly covering it could endure the rigors of an arctic winter. The mammoth whose body was found In Siberia was probably overwhelmed in a sudden snowstorm, and thus pre served through long ages, till the melt ing of the ice In which it was embed dea revealed to wondering eyes the perfect figure of one of the hugest creatures of the antediluvian world. „ Wichita Falls, Texas.' Proprietors P. p. p. : It becomes my duty to add my tes timonial to the wonderful curative properties of P. P. p. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium). Some years ago I bruised my ankle on my saddle stirrup; from a little scratch tne place began to enlarge until it was as large as the palm of my hand, discharging pus, exposing part of the bone. I called to see physicians, and they pronounced it a fever sore, and Incurable. It became so painful, and swollen so badly that I tried bandage for relief until I secured a rubber sup porter; after securing the rubber sup porter for temporary relief, I began to use Internal remedies, trying several different kinds without any apparent reilef. I resolved to try P. P. P.. which I did. After using one bottle the result was such that I continued until the sixth bottle was used, when my rubber supporter was no longer re quired. as the sore was completely healed and swelling entirely gone.
