LETTER FROM TOE j NATION'S CAPITAL.] iCOL BRYAN HEARD FRON-NEW TORPEDO POSSIBILITY-YOUNG LADY AWARDED MEDAL FOR HEROISM. . Washington, D. C., June 3:? <Uol JtSryan Has set at rest, so iar as ne is concerned, the rumor, always regarded as senseless in the realm ot practical politics, of any coalition between the two great parties. His announcement has been received with considerable satisfaction in Washington, because, while there was never much stock taken in the .story that Bryan was at the last moment goiug to throw his influence <to Roosevelt, there was enough 1 possibility in the uncontradicted 1 rumor to make a basis for talk. Mr Bryan says that while he admires President Roosevelt, aud w^lile the Presideut has adopted some Demo- ; cratic policies and made the best use i he could of them, he has never carried anv of these policies as far as I they need to be carried, or as far as ' the Democratic party would have carried them had it had the chance, i' i Mr Bryan says he does not even 1 want to influence the Democratic ( party in the choice of a nominee for ' the presidency, but that whether he ^ did or not, all talk of the party ? endorsing President Roosevelt is the merest nonsense. * * * * ' ( The Navy department has been ^ experimenting quietly with a new torpedo that, if it is the success ita 1 designer claims it to be will, solve the loDg discussed problem of ultiz- 1 inff e-asoline st&a as a motive power . o o ? * without exploding it in an internal combustion engine. As most people know, the economical and effective little gasoline engine that has solved ? the automobile problem and is furnishing the power for so many (thousands of farmers all over the country, works by mixing gasoline vapor and air in the cyclinder of the engine and then firing it by an eleotnq spark. This takes the place of steam in an ordinary engine, but /there are ceitain disadvantages in it, ^chiefly that it has to be run at a 4)igh and constant speed to develop its full efficiency and that for slower speed gears have to be introduced. The new torpedo uses gasoline as -a motive power, but by a clever combination with water in the jacket 'of the engine, it converts the gasoline vapor into what is practically steam and feeds it directly to the cycliuder of the engine without the aid either of tire or a spark plug, which as all gasoline engine users know, is one of the most detestable of human devices. The uew torpedo is a remarkable engine of war if all that is claimed of it be true. It runs at <* speed of over 60 mi lea an hour and j is effective at a range of <?ver two * miles. It i9 under perfect Gontrol v and stands a Terr small chance of !j missing the warship at which it is , aimed. But the chief interest for the general public lies in the claim of the makers that the problem of using gasoline vapor direct has been solved. If this is so, it means a revolution ia small power eDgiues for farm use. i * * * i A yoang womau of Middletowo, New York, Miss Guinau, has Just ! been awarded a medal fos heroism i and with the distinction of having i kit presented with a letter from i President Roosevelt. She saved the 'life of Mr Rynou. He was over i seventy years old and vety feeble i "kiA.. otfatnnioH frt nrnna thp f* UCU iiC avivui|/iwu w v* vvw ?... tracks in front of an approaching train, notobserying that a train was also rapidly approaching on the other track from the opposite direction. He reached the central space between the two tracks before observing that the trains were approaching from both 6 diractions, and became greatly bewildered at his apparent inability to go forward or back without danger of beiug run down. Miss Guiuan, who was fctauding at the, crossing, observed his perilious pre-1 dicameut and rushed to his aid Not; having time 10 push him off the tracks, she seized hold of him and j dield^bim firmly between the two '/ '- . . t traius as they rushed by. For several moments the two were in this perilous position, a train rushing by at s high rate of speed on each side el them. When the east-bound traic had passed they got to the sidewalk, the old gentleman being uearh unconscious from fright, while Mis* Guinan was apparently undisturbed by her experience. A mea3uremeel taken subsequently showed tha there was but thirty-six inches ol space in which to stand between the swaying trains. * * * Probablv many DtODle do no V A A know what the American Medal oi Honor Society is. But the fact re mains that it has its headquarters it Washington and that it has jusl been the recipient of a signal marl of consideration from the Emperoi of Germany.
