TORPEDO WARFARE The great IA
val powers have expended prGdigious
sums in constructing iron clads and
providing them with monster guns.
Such vessels could easily pass the heav-
lest armed Notifications which defend
the harbors of great cities, and might
easily bomhard them unless prevented
by a surrender. To guard against
such a contingency naval architects
have devised various kinds Of torpedo
boats which, if they can be successful
ly launched, against the best armored
vessel would blow her 10 atoms. The
French government recently made a
trial of the effect of a small torpedo
launched on q large vessel IN the har-
Dor Of Cherbourg. The latter was
towed by steam tug drawing her
fourteen miles per hours, ard gradual,
ly nesred hsr victim. Bat to carry
cut the trial, without too much delay,
the ships speel was reduced to eight
miles. The launch struck heI on ;he
starboarl bow, lodged the charge and
reboundel aboat fifty feet before the
explosion took place ; then deafen.
ing report was heard, and the ship,
with = tent As large a. house, sank
with wonderful rapiiity. The charge
consisted # only sixly>>ix pounds Of

Hi PoUcY.-The n. y. IGa9es has
long been an admirer Of the bloody
shirt" policy, and hence finds it dif-
fcu!t TO sustain what Is known as
Hayes' policy. II owns up however,
that the measures winch Mr. Hayes IS
taking aFe quite consistent in sriit
with The declarations OF The last re-
publican national convention, bat qaal
ties Ills admission by saying that very
few Of ;he members OF that convention
would ev,n nuw be prepared TO speci-
tica!ly approve those measures, and
none OF them eouId have toreseen tie
distinct form IL which Mr.. HAYES has
interpreted the platform. There is
room, therefore, as the President clear
ly sees, for an honest i ference of
opinion, first as 20 the harmony Of his
policy with the requirements Of the
constitution, aud secoHd, as 10 the
probable effect Of It's application on
lEe rights of the weaker class ID the
Souh. 1t would be a great mi>for-
tune for Tie country If Mr.. Hayes
should make the mistake OF enforcing
his views in q narrow or domiDeeIlng
