cess.
CLEyELASD, July l0.-For some time
there has been made privately In this city
Il series Of experiments Of what Is known
as the Lay torpedo, an invention Of Mr..
Lay, Of Buffalo, N. Y. The torpedo is
cylindrical, with conical ends. The for.
ward cone Is calculated TO contain 100
pounds Of any explosive subStanee-dyn.
amite will probably be used. In the for.
ward section Of the main cylinder is q
powerful gas, in liquid form, used as 4
motive power, and connected with
the machinery by valve operated
BY electricity and pipe. There Is also
cable, coiled as harpoon ropes are ar.
ranged on whaling vessels, which may
be any length desired and connected with
the shore or vessel. The torpedo, when
launched, is entirely under the control Of
the operator, who may be stationed on
shore or aboard a ship. He has a COM
pact battery and key board, on which he
guides, controls and explOdes the craft
BY means Of electricity. The secresy
with which the experiments have been
made aroused general curiosity, and
large crowds gathered on the docks this
afternoon TO witness public trial. The
experiment was a splendid success in
every particular. There were present a
number Of distinguished gentlemen,
conspicuous among them the Chinese
Minister, Hung Yuen Poo, and his Eecre.
cretary, and 4 number Of naval officers
and visitors from other cities. A stake
boat was stationed half a mile from shore.
When the battery was applied the torpe.
do started offat rapid dspeed, going 10 the
stake boat in minutes and 20 seconds.
Gracefully rounding, the boat started on
her return, which was made in the same
time. II acclaimed by the owners that
the craft will touch twelve miles per
hour. The rapidity and precision with
which the machinery obeyed the operator
clearly demonstrated il as one Of the
most formidable weapons ever invented
for naval warfare. This machine will be
shipped directly to some European power
for which it was built, but the owners de.
cline to state for which one, and say they
have orders for large number from the
same source.

the bank burglars to-day William D.
Edison, a lock expert, testified 10 connec-

to discover the chances for bank robbery,
make preparations aud share in the spoiis.
Edson received $1,000 from the robbery
Of the bank at Quincy, ILL.,, and 5000
from Pittston, Ps. The gang made an
unsuccessful attempt two months ago at
Elmira and Berry was sent 10 the peni-
tentiary for it. They also made unsuc.
cessful attempts al the Long Island Ma.
tional Bank, lstSaratoga, Coyington, Ky,
Rockville, Conn.,, Syracuse, Nantucket,
Mass, and the First National Of North

obstructions. Edson also examined the

The Ornngc CrIsls AroIlcd.

MONTREAL, July 1O.-At ameeting Of
Representatives Of the National societies
this afternoon, it was resolved to ask the
0rangemen, as Christians, 10 dispense
with the proposed procession on the 18th.
Mr.. Devlin, President Of the St. Patrick's
Society, opening the meeting, said that
the object Of the resolution was TO prevent
the conflict impending on the 18th.
The crisis Is very serious. Ifthere was a
procession violence would follow, and
lives might be sacrificed. Leading mem.
bers Of the Orange society are, it is said,
using their endeavors to prevent street
parade. Sixty Of the city police will be
armed with breech.loading rifles on the
18th, and the whole force will be held in
readiness.
The Orange society tonight received a
resolution that the national societies de.
cided that no procession would be at.
tempted. The members, however, will
attend divine service.

A Eecrct Frcnch Mission.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-The Inter- Ocean
publishes as a pOrtentous fact that during
the past fortnight secret agents from the
French government have arrived in this
city, whose presence hero is known
toibut few in France and fewer here. They
have secretly contracted with q few firms
Of Chicago packers for immense quaint.
ties Of army supplies. The contracts
specify not only the quantity and quality
Of the supplies, but the manner Of their
preservation aud the amount Of rations in
package. A condensed soup, capable OF
preservation for long period and Of
speedy preparation has been contracted
for. Similar agents have been in few
other cities Of this country and in Can
ada. Enough food has been ordered to
sustain large army during long cam
paign. The Inter. Ocean considers these
operations significant in view Of the con.
ditiOn Of Western Europe.
