TIE TORPEDO EXPERIMENT.

At quite an carly hour yesterday Capt.
Conway, accompanied by Messrs. Rees, Floyd,
Darrar and Musgrove, in small boat loaded
with torpedoes pushed off from the Canal
street wharf and steered for the Algiers shore,
where the boats lately destroyed first lodged
ag ainst the shore.
Here torpedo was exploded without rails
ing any of the missing todes. The shock
was perceptibly felt in the bo,t, notwith-
standing the fact tina. it was a considerable
distance of.
A second torpedo was fred on this side
near Morgan's ferry, with like results, when
the strong current carried away most of the
insulated wire and further experiments had
to be postponed.
These gentlemen deserve credit for theil
untiring efforts to recover the bodies of those
lost, and whether they are successful or not,
they are generously giving their money and
time to this laudable object.

THE WHITNEY CASE.
A Penitent Jury.

The Jury in the insurance case Of Norman
Whitney, suing to recover amount of policy
on his stock Of furniture, consumed some
time since, have been taught lesson quite
new here.
Instead of discharging them the first day
after they stated they could not agree, Judge
Woods very properly sent them back to their
rooms. 1t has become quite generally be-
lieyed that it is only necessary for jury to
announce that they cannot agree and their
discharge is at once assured.
Up to noon the jury in the Whitney case
had not agreed and the probabilities are that
they will net.
Two of the members have succumbed to the
effects Of legal oratory, and the City Ply
stefan had to be sent for to prescribe. Their
condition, when they were last heard from,
was better, and it is hoped their frugal diet
and entertaining conversation will bring
them out all right.

A month ago it was announced with
a great flourish of trumpets that the
election in Wisconsin had resulted in
sweeping Republican victory. This
news wes flashed over the wires to the
ustermost' part of the Union, and the
State was set down as certain for Grant
or anybody else on the Republican
ticket for President next year. This
cheering intelligence to radical hearts
has not been contradicted by tele-
graph; but exchanges from the east
contain the official vote of Wisconsin,
and it is very different from that
heralded through the country imme.
diately after the election. The official
vote is as follows: For Governor
Ludington, Republican, had Si1 major
ity; for Lieutsnant Governor-Parker,
Democrat, had 1901 majority; for
Secretary of -State-Doyle, Democrat,
had 621 majority; for Treasurer-kuhn,
Democrat. had 2. S04 majority; fop At
torpey General-Sloan, Democrat, had
1911 mSjorfty; and for Superintendent
of Public misunderstanding. Demo-
crat. had 1,l75 majority. Phis shows
that the entire Democratic Stale ticket.
with the exception of Governor. was
elected by majoritiss ranging from 62l
to t2.80f. 1t is also announced that
Ludington's election will be contested
upon the ground os fraud. It alleged
that a number of chippewas in the
Northwestern counties of the State
were permitted to vete. aud that the
noble red men helped swell fhe Repub-
lican vote, and that Ludington's
majority is due to the vote Of this
new element in the universal broth-
erhood party. A few more such
sweeping victories as this in Wis
consiu, even though won by the aid of
Indian allies, would settle the third
term question more effectu lily than
Grants letter.
