New York.--President Taft made de­ fense in detail of the policies of his administration when he spoke Satur­ day at the Lincoln day celebration of the New York Republican club. He declared business "hysteria," due to agitation and fear of drastic action against corporations in general, to be unjustified, and throughout his talk pleaded for the sinking of factional differences toward the future of the Republican party and the carrying out of its pledges. Mr. Taft adhered to his purpose of discussing platform pledges and how they should be kept. It was at the conclusion of a detailed argument as to how the Republican party is re­ deeming its pledges that he came to a discussion of the anti-trust law and Wall street. "No one haa a motive as strong as the administration In poVer to culti vate and strengthen business confi­ dence and business prosperity," de­ clared the president. "But it does rest with the national government to en force the law, and If the enforcement of the law is not consistent with the present method of carrying on busi­ ness, then it does "not speak well for the present methods of conducting business, and they must be changed to conform to the law. There was no promise on the part of the Republic­ an party to change the anti-trust law except to strengthen it, or to authorize monopoly and a suppression of compe­ tition and the control of prices, and those who look forward' to such a change cannot now visit the responsi­ bility for their mistake on Innocent persons. "Of course the government at Wash­ ington can be counted on to enforce the law in the way best calculated to prevent a destruction of public con­ fidence in business, but It must en­ force the law. "From time to time attacks are made upon the administration on the ground that Its policy tends to create a panic.in Wall street and to disturb• business. All I have to say upon that subject is this: 'That certainly* no one responsible for a government like ours would foolishly run. amuck in business and destroy values and con­ fidence just for the pleasure of doing so." The president declared there were signs which many construed to indi­ cate that the Republican majority in congress might be replaced by a Democratic majority. The cause he asserted to be dissensions in the Re­ publican party arising out of differ­ ences of opinion in regard jto the rules in the house and to the personnel of the leadership in the senate. He declared there existed a growing tendency to the assertion of indi­ vidual opinion and purpose at the ex­ pense of party discipline. The move­ ment was toward factionalism and small groups. All this, Mr. Taft said, should be forgotten in furtherance of the one great aim--party success. To this end, he asserted, a campaign of edu­ cation was required. "I am far from saying the Republic­ an party is perfect," declared the president, and then be gave a warn­ ing that party insurgency should be punished. The high cost of living, Mr. Taft as­ serted, primarily was due to the "In­ crease in the measure of value of gol^ and, in some measure, to combinations in restraint of trade." President Taft eulogized Theodore Roosevelt and the Roosevelt policies and said that before the former presi­ dent departed on his African lion hunt he had put public opinipn in "apt condition to bring about the reforms needed to clinch his polieies and to make them permanent in the form of enacted law." Gov. Hughes made a sensation by announcing his belief that Taft would be nominated and re-elected. FRENCH STEAMER GEN. CHAN»* GOES £N ROCKS.

Paris.---A dispatch wai received here Friday confirming the loss of the French Atlantic steamship General <3hanzy on the north coast of the Is^ land of Minorca. The ship carried 8f passengers and but one person on board was saved. The sole survivor is an Algerian customs official, Marcel Rodel, who was rescued by a fisherman and who lies in the hospital at Ciudadela rav­ ins as a result of his experience. The owners state that the steamer carried besides the passengers a crew of 70 officers and men. The vessel was driven on the rocky coast of the Island of Minorca In a fierce storm, where it was soon pounded to pieces. Boats were launched and speedily filled with passengers and members of the crew, but they were ail swamped in the raging surf. The storm was still raging and the scene of the wreck is difficult of ac­ cess and far removed from all wire or cable communication. There is a slender chance that some of the passengers and crew may have escaped in the lifeboats and the life- rafts, but this is a very faint hope, owing to the severity of the storm. The shipwreck occurred near Clu- dad Ela, to which place the sole sur­ vivor was brought The steamer, which was bound for Algiers, was of 2,257 gross tonnage and its engines ha da horsepower of 478. ,k .

FIRST OUTLINE OF CHARGE SWITCHMEN VOTE TO QUIT Strike Threat Not Taken Seriously by Railroad Officials Because of . Arbitration Clause. Chicago.--By a nearly unanimons vote, 3,098 switchmen employed by \8 railroads centering in Chicago, mem­ bers of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, decided in favor of a strike, providing a settlement cannot other­ wise be effected by the committee and grand officer." This latter clause in the ballot the railroad officials declare, gives the switchmen's committee authority to accept arbitration, and as the rail­ roads have already agreed to arbi­ trate. the wage controversy, which has been carried on since January 22, they declare that there is no possi­ bility of a strike. Vice-President A. F. Whitney ol the Brotherhood of Railway Train­ men, on the other hand, declares em­ phatically that this same clause, which states clearly that a strike may be called only "provided a settlement cannot be otherwise effected," pro hiblts the use of arbitration.

That Cabinet, Officer. W*s Not Loyal and Faithful if».\ •» Handling Alaska Coal Washington.--Louis ft. Glavis, at Monday's session of the Ballinger-Pin- chot inquiry, under cross-examination by Attorney John J. Vertress, summed up at some length the facts which he declared convinced him Mr. Ballinger was "unfit for his office and unfaithful to his trust." One of his acts, Glavis said, was "far more cowardly than if a man had actually stolen something for which he could have been convicted." ; "The first action I would cite Is the appearance of Mr. Ballinger in the Wilson coal cases," said Mr. Glavis. "Wfiile that was a long time ago and people may have looked at things dif­ ferently, his action or participation in the drawing up of an escrow agree­ ment to turn over claims that should not have been proved up and have not been proved up, as a matter of fact, was criminal. But the statute of limi­ tations haa run and the evidence is not quite clear. "Another thing was Mr. Ballinger's expressions in the summer of 1907 to Special Agent Jones, when he knew that there had been violations of the coal land laws; his statement that he was coming to Washington to see what congress could do to help the claimants get patents. "His next action--one of the most important, going to show that he is not loyal to his trust and not faithful to the people--was this one: After giv­ ing me the full right and instructions to make a full and complete investi­ gation of all the coal cases, he person^ ally took up an old report by Special Agent Love a few days after and de­ liberately ordered the Cunningham olaims to proceed to patent. The Love report, to my mind, and I have acted on a thousand or more reports, did not in itself warrant a favorable rec­ ommendation. It showed there had been an understanding among the claimants and suggested fraud rather than a compliance with the law. "Another evidence that Mr. Ballin­ ger was not trying to protect the peo­ ple's rights was his appearance before the public lands committee of the house in favor of the Cale bill, which carried out the statement Ballinger made to Jones that he would do what he could to secure legislation which would have enabled those fraudulent claimants to secure patents. If the Cale law had passed it would have val­ idated the claims. "The next step Mr. Ballinger took was his unprofessional action--at least, members of the bar regard it so, and I know of no attorney of my acquaintance who would have done it --in deliberately going around - and representing the other side after hav­ ing been commissioner of the land of­ fice and having full knowledge of the character of the investigation we had made. He did not act alone in the Cunningham group, but in the Green group as well, in which he took six affidavits. He also acted as arbitrator between H. R. Harriman and John Hartllne, relative to the purchase of some coal claims. "His next action consisted in his asking me in the fall of 1908, when he was in politics and arranging for cam­ paign contributions, to hold off any investigation of the coal cases. This showed he did not have the interests of the government at heart." Glavis said he had not charged the cabinet members with corrupt motives in the conduct of the Cunningham claims; otherwise he would have gone to the grand jury instead of the presi­ dent. Bare Graft in Ohio. Columbus, O.--Chairman Beatty of the legislative graft committee, ap­ pointed through the insistence of Gov. Harmon, Monday announced that J. E. Brelsford of Dayton, former partner of Mark Slater, ex-supervisor of state printing, had confessed to him of wholesale grafting in the department of printing at the time Slater was in charge. According to the confession of Brelsford, from whom Slater bought goods, he and Slater divided $13,700, drawn from the state treasury on vouchers for the payment for stock never delivered to the state printing department. ^ * Iowa School After Plnehot.

The joint con­ ference of miners and operators called to meet in Peoria to consider a new wage scale has been declared off. The refusal of the Illinois operators to enter the Toledo Interstate conference has caused the Illinois miners to de­ liver their ultimatum that Illinois must now wait until all other states in the competitive district have signed up their scales. There is a decided split among the operators. Some of them do not want suspension of min­ ing, and others favor cessation of work. Frank J. Hayes, the secretary- treasurer of the Illinois Mine Workers and just elected national vice-presi­ dent, stated that the Illinois miners would observe to the letter the deci­ sion of the Toledo meeting that no state shall sign a scale until all' are ready to do so.

J-IUROW. j. . -:x- Cleveland.--"There are two of tfa« bravest men who ever sailed the great lakes. They are real heroes, and the United States recognized them as such after they had rescued several persons from the burning steamer Annie Young away back in 1890." , Captain Alfred Mitchell, the Cleve­ land vessel agent, and David Carrier, formerly a mate with Captain Mitch­ ell on the steamer Edward Smith, were seated in the Cadillac hotel in Dietrolt one evening recently when a Marine City vesselman made the fore­ going remark. Continuing, he said: j"One morning in October of 1890 as the Edward Smith, with Captain COULDN'T 00 it Rammed the Burning Vessel?, Mitchell in command, was a few miles out from Lexington, on Lake Huron, smoke and flames were noticed on the deck of a vessel about two miles away. Captain Mitchell, without a moment's hesitation, beaded at full speed for the burning ship. He sum­ moned all hands on deck, and with his mate, David Carrier, he quickly planned the rescue of the crew of the vessel, which turned out to be the An­ nie Young. She was sailed by Capt. Miller who commanded the Wissahick- Qn last seasbn. "As the Edward Smith bore down onto the doomed vessel the flames were spreading rapidly, and the Annie Young kept on going at a fairly-rapid rate of speed. Captain Mitchell laid his course in such a manner as to be able to hit the burning boat near the stern, thus giving the crew and offi­ cers on the after end an opportunity of getting off onto the Smith. I can­ not give you the full details of how the rescue was effected, but I know that nine men were taken off the first time the Smith rammed the burning ship. On getting these men off Capt Mitchell backed away his ship for an­ other dash, and he repeated the move. It was necessary to hit the Young several times before any more were taken off. He succeeded In getting 13 in all and seven were drowned. This would not^have happened had the men done as Capt. Mitchell had told them to. He yelled to them on his first ram­ ming the boat to stay aboard and wait until he could get alongside again. But in the excitement panic seized the poor fellows and five of them got into a small boat made fast to the after end. This little skiff was dragged under the propeller wheel and the men were literally cut to pieces. Another man attempted to climb oWr the Bide, and a heavy fender struck him on'the head, splitting his skull. "Carrier rescued the chief engineer by throwing a lasso over him from the deck of the Smith. It was just as the Annie Young was going down. Car- riers's aim was perfect, for the lasso circled over the engineer's shoulders and that instant the ship went down suddenly. At the same time Carrier jerked his rope, and brought the engi­ neer aboard the steamer. He was un­ conscious for three weeks, and was in the, hospital when he regained his senses. He was amazed when he found out what had happened. A young Irish boy was badly injured when he fell onto the deck of the Smith from the burning vessel. His hip was broken right in two. "It was a terrible experience, hut Alfred Mitchell and David Carrier were as cool as cucumbers. It was positively the best bit of maneuvering, and the most gallant rescue ever made on these lakes."

Anything is right wrong that is almost SAVED FROM AN OPERATION ByLydiaE.Piiikbain's The Record of Raindrops. ! f* mnntrnil It Ib by carefully noting small and, f vOlllPOUIHB apparently insignificant things and facts that men of science are enabled to reach some of their most surprising and interesting conclusions. In many places the surface of rocks, which millions of years ago must have formed sandy or muddy sea beaches, is found to be pitted with the impres­ sions of raindrops. In England it has been noticed that in many cases the eastern sides of these depressions are the more deeply pitted, indicating that the raindrops which formed them were driven before a west wind. From this the conclusion is drawn that in the remote epoch when the pits were formed the majority of the storms in England came from the west, just as they do to-day.--Harper's Weekly.
