A W asiiinoton special to the Chicago

"It is said by those in the confidence of

has not been moved by the protest of
certain western republican senators
against the formal adoption of the
gold standard by the republican party
and that an unmistakable declaration
for it certainly will be put through
after congress meets."

Washington. Aug. 1.—Senator Hur-

with a Tost reporter yesterday aft
noon, said:
It -Is mv opinion that if the war in the Philip-
pines |s  till in prog reus next year and the end
is not then in sight, the situation will Ik  to the
disadvantage of the republican party. The
only hope for the party and the countr v. I might
add. is in a speedy change of conditions in the
lippines. Unless the war in the Philippines

factor and its is.ntinuance will

of the army officers on 'duty in the de-
partment had gathered in the main
office and Mr. Root and Secretary Al-
ger and other members of the party
entered the room.
It was 10:45 when Mr. Root stood up :
nnd took the oath of office. Judge Cole
then addressed him as "Mr. Secretary"
and shook hands and congratulated
him. Gen. Alger then advanced and
shook hands most cordially and said,
with evident feeling: "With all my
heart 1 congratulate you and the ad-
ministration. You will find around
you here men who will help in the ardu-
ous duties of your position. May God
bless you and give you strength.Sec-
retary (>age then stepped forward and
congratulated Secretary Root. He was
followed by Secretary Hitchcock, As-
sistant Secretary Meiklejon, (fen. Cor-
bin and Chief Clerk Sehofield.
(Jen. Alger picked up the commission,
signed by the president and attested
by the ceeretary of state, appointing
Mr. Root secretary of war. "Here is
your commission," he said, with a
smile, handing it to Mr. Root, "in
which you lose your identity and he-
roine Mr. Secretary. I go back to be-
come a sovereign citizen of the I'nited
States and become Mr. Alger." "I
l.v wish it were the other way,"
said Mr. Root, as he accepted the parch-
ment.
1 hen the officers were presented to
eretary Root b, Mr. Victor L. Mason,
e confidential secretary of the secre-
tary of war. As soon as I hey were intro-
duced they passed on and shook hands
with Gen. Alger. Nearly all stopped to
express their regrets upon his retire-
ment and wished him success in the
future. 1 hey also thanked him for his
consideration and many acts of kind-
I uniform courtesy during the
time they bad beeu associated with
him.
Gen. Miles appeared with his staff in
the full dress uniform of the major
general commanding the army. He
stopped to talk with Secretary Root
for some time, longer than any of the
others. Following the presentation of
the officers, civilians and clerks of the

with Secretary Root and said farewell

signed such an order, but the other

The president is acting wisely. In my opinion,
in endeavoring to restore peace and order in the
Philippines by sending au increased army to
assist Oen. Otis. It is to be sincerely hoped
that the fresh troops will bo able to establish
the authority of the United States. We must
remember, however, that although we have
now been fighting some time we have
conquered a territory only about 50 miles
to the north of Manila and 15 miles to
the south, a mere bagatelle oompared with
the immense urea of the archlp-lago. If
the additional troops sent to (Sen. Otis
cannot restore peace, congress will have
to deal with the problem nnd ou.'ln to hav •. by
the first of December, some defiuit- informa-
tion upon which to act. For the present. I
hope the president will continue in his effort to
end the trouble, and that his efforts w ill be
crowned with success. Victory for the repub-
in party next year will be made more certain

\ rill Ira torn' Keport in Snielterinen's Strike.
inter, Col., Aug. I. The state
board of arbitration has filed its re-
port on the investigation of the inciter
strike. The decision it readied is a
compromise between the demands of
the smelters and the officers of the
Ninerican Smelting company, common
ly known as the trust. The board has
fixed a wage scale on the basis of an
ight-hour day for the inside men and
ten-hour day for the yard. men. Tin-
ages recommended average about ten
per cent, higher than those offered by
the smelter managers.
In the old days, with comb and shears.
It look a man eight hours to clip a horse,
and he had to be an expert to do itiu
that time. NYith the introduction of
he hand clipper, such as it- used for
lipping men's hair, into this use, the
inie required for clipping a horse was
reduced to half a day. latter these clip-
pers came lo be operated with hand
power, by use of a crank, and then the
time required for clipping a home was
still further reduced.
Iu one of these hand-power clippers
the clipper is attached to the end of a
flexible shaft, which is made up of short
lengths of steel wire linked together
like a chain. To keep tins flexible shaft
from kinking and twisting when it is
turned it is incased and carried in a
flexible tubing. The siiaft is made to
turn by attaching one end if it to the
axle of a wheel which us turned by
means of n belt from it fo another
wheel, which is turned by a crank.
These wheels are supported, the larger
one, to which the crank is attached, on
a standard resling on tne floor; the
smaller one. to which the flexible shaft
is attached, at the end of an arm sup-
ported by the standard. Turning the
wheel turns the flexible unaft within,
its flexible tubing. The sha't is at-
tached to the clipper with an eccentric.
NYhen the shaft turns the eccentric
works the clipper just as an ordinary
clipper with handles would be t.orked
by hand, only many times faster. The
operator simply holds the clipper and
guides it over the surface to be clipped.
Nowadays this sort of clipper is oper-
ated also by machine power, a gas en-
gine being used for this purpose, nnd
itli power clippers horses are clipped
in less time still.
i horse-clipping establishment
where machine power is used the ^a«
engine is belted to a shafting made fast
to the ceiling from which the power Is
transmitted by belts to two pulleys, one
ither side of the room, attached to
seiling by hangers in the usual mau-
IIanging from each of thes pul-
leys is a long, flexible shaft witnir. its
flexible casing, with a clipper it the
end. These flexible shafts, the tunes
that inclose them being an inch or two
diameter, and about as flerlt.1;- hh
rope or hose of iike size v onlu l>e, are
each perhaps eight to .en f«e. or more
in length; long enough to enable the
operator to go all over one side of the
horse with the clipper hanging on that
side without shifting the animal's po-
sition. The operator throws tne clip-
per, on whichever side he slarts. into
* at its pulley and begins work with
NN hen he has finished one Bide of a
horse he shuts off the power from Hie
clipper used on that side and goes
around on the other side, throws that
clipper into gear, and with that clipper
| begins on that side of the horse.
How long it takes to clip a hor
depends very much on the horsi
| majority of horses take kindly
ping but some do not. If a
doesn i like to be clipped it may take
hours to clip him. but. ordinarily in
these days, with power clippers nnd the
horse willing, the clipping is done in m)
minutes to an hour. A horse has l.eer.
clipped in 24 minutes, but probably
about an hour would be the time usual-
ly required. In the old days j, cost $20
to $3(1 to get a ho-.-se clipped; it is done
nowadays for two dollars a no
cents to three dollars.—N. Y.Su
