A REVOLUTION IN NAVAL WAR
FARE.

The London Times Paris cores
pendent reports very remarkable ex"
ploit achieved off Cherbourgh, on the
part of little torpedo-craft called the
Thorneyscroft, OF the Thornyscroft
very little is visible above water; on
the surface you just see a little greyish
body, easily confused with the sea, but
there are rooms below for the officers
and men who steam and manage her,
while she is armed with q torpedo,
projecting from her bow. Two great,
disabled vessels were tugged out to sea
in succession, the ThorEeycroft, with
lieutenant and two men en- board of
her, pursuing each in turn. The
Thorneycrsft with her engine and
sails, and nineteen knots an hour, over
took each disabled vessel, drove the
torpedo right against it, recoiled her
self, spun round and round for few
seconds, and then steered on to the
fleet, leaving MO trace of the vessel at
tackled, which was in each case rent by
the great shock, and Immediately went
down. The Thorpeycroft only costs
the fiftieth part of man-of-war so
that fifty Thorneycrofts might be
made, to attack an eaemy's fleet on all
sides, for the expense of one man-Of-
war. Clearly, unless the larger ships
eau protect themselves in dusk or dark
by some wire fence against such on
sets, a great navy might be blown into
the air by the pettiest naval power ON
earth.

Continued from Second Edition.
THE HAMPTON INTERVIEW.

Reporter-I suppose you feel now as II
your path was clear of most of the diffi-
oulties that were presented.
Gsv. Hampton-I can't say that the
action with reference to the troops will
naturally alter my chances under the
laws of South Carolina, and not contrary
to the general laws of the land. Soldiers
can be arrested for offences against the
State, fined and imprised. If I had de-
sired / could have issued an order, and
in case the soldiers failed to respect 1t, /
could have arrested them all. /
wished to avoid this however and pre-
pared to settle it otherwise.
Reporter--Is there any particular
changes you intend inaugurating regard
ing any one thing?
Gov. Hampton-I intend doing many
things and more especially to frame a
healthy tax law, based upon reason
able figures. / also believe in the
education of the colored people, but
1 favor the idea of separate schools. /
will recommend one State College, for
white and one for the celored people. 1
think this will be more acceptable to each
of them. The public school system will
of course continue to be carried on.
Reporter,-What do you expect, will
be the result of your recognition as Gov
ernor?
Gov. Hampton,-In my judgement,t the
results win he the best indications of the
Wesdom of Mr.. Hayes policy which
will finally be sustained by the whole
country.

as very great, considering that some of,
the outlying portions of that immense

Empire with it's dependencies, there is an

ulation of over 425 900, 800. twenty-five

450, 10000, or 4I inhabitants per square

last half century. not alone the authority
OF the government, but the population of
the country, has fallen off. The assigned
causes are disastrous foreign wars almost
continuous insurrection, and q heavy
drain in the shape of emigration. This
last has taken large numbers of the Chi

TIE PRICE OF GAs.-In the TechnOl-
ogist for February it is stated that ''the
nld1imuns cost of gas, when made by the
gas company in any of the large towns of
the Middle States, does not exceed ST per
1000 cubic feet"
Our Gas Trust charges 81, 10 per thous-
and, and! according to its last report man
ufactured 2,154, ,2S1 thousand feet. Taking
the maximum cost. as given hy the Tech
nologist, there remains profit Of 81 Is
per thousand, which, in the quantity
which the Trust Aeirms that it makes,
would leave net profit Of 81, AZ, ,423, Is.
But the Trust states profit of $685., 700
only ...Here is an enormous difference.
Perhaps there is, as:the Teehnologist says
''leakage and unnecessary salaries" :"
There must be great deal Of both to eat
up sum of over two millions and leave
only the fragment of $365, ,OO0. 1t appears
also that the city Of ofPhiladelphia is paying
about three times as much for each gas
lamp as does the city Of New York, not
withstanding that the Philadelphia works
were built with city money, and the
New York, works without cost to the city
by joint-steck companies who, even at
this fractional cost, encounter "leakags,n y
pay unnecessary salaries, and yet make
dividends, charging the city about enc
third what Philadelphia pays. a.,
Really, all this is becoming little
more than, Philadelphia taxpayers and
gas consumers can stand. When we GO

began early to appear at the bank.
They handed their books to the

The State Bank up 10 Saturday noon
was thought by many to be one OF the
most substantial Institutions In the

it four years ago. 1t numbered among

tradesmen of the city, and contained

County Board Of Chosen Freeholders,
and $50, 900 of the State of New Jer-
sey's money. Mr.. Hart Moore, the
City Collector, on Saturday presented
a check for $4,000 of the county's
money. and the refusal of the cashier
to honor the check, on the ground that
the bank had no funds 10 meet it,
pricked the bubble. Mr.. Moore, after
having his check dishonored, informed
Mr.. James Bessett, Director of the
Freeholders, and the latter instituted
proceedings to obtain an Injunction
against the bank, which was granted
late on Saturday night by Chancellor
Runyon. together with an order made
on President Voorhees, to show cause

THE ENGINEERS INSURANCE.
FUND.

NOW THE READING COMPANY Is GOING
TO Provide FOR THE ENGINk DR.
vERs. 't#. ~
A Philadelphia correspondent Of the
Eagle says:
To-day Mr.. Wootten of the p " x.
COMPANY, submitted the plan Of the In
surance Fund for those locomotive engl-
neers who have decided to dissever their
connection with the Brotherhood and cast
their fortunes with the company. The
plan was read to MIR. Gowen with appro-
val. 1t was subsequently submitted 10
several other officials, and number OF
the comLany's engineers, who regarded
the plan as most excellent one, ana lar
better than that which existed In the
Brotherhood. One Of the leading fea-
lures of the plan is to present each engl-
neer with life insurance policy OF three
thousand dollars. The details OF the
arrangement embrace the paying OF
Monthly dues for future increase OF prin-
cipal on life insurance policy, and it is
thought that the offer will be highly sat
isfactory to all the locomotive engineers.
Mr.. Gowen states that out of the very
large number of engineers employed by
the company, all have notified him OF
their withdrawal from the Union, with
the exception of twelve. Mr.. I. M.
Arthur, Grand Chief Of the brotherhood,
left for his home at Cleveland, ONO,
yesterday, and it is admitted by mem
bers of the order that his visit resulted in
nothing beyond the effect Of exhortatiOns
to be firm. No policy was marked out
by him, nor was his advice indorsed by
any vote of the Brotherhood.
Mr.. Sweigard, General Superintendent
of the Germantown and Norristown
branches, said that the greater number Of
engineers in his division have given their
word to forsake the Union and enter into
the full spirit Of the movement on the
part of the company.
Six have signified their unwillingnesS
to do so, and their places have already
been filled. These half-dozen strikers
are experienced men of the NorristoTn
engines, .and, as Mr.. Sweigard acknowl-
edged, were faithful employees. Among
them is David Cooper, known far and
wide as "Old Daddy, he having steamed
up and down the short routes for seven
teen years. "Have been in the fraternity
twelve years, too," said he, Sand couldn't
leave it, though it's pretty hard" Yes
terday morning all the other employees
went TO work on time, sand" said Mr..
Sweigard, shave evidently been trying
their best all day to win the confidence
Of the company, which am sure they
have" On the other branches, six more
have withdrawn, making twelve in all.
