HEREFORD CATHEDRAL.

Hereford is an old town in the west Of
England, nearly on the borders of Wales
about fifty miles northward from Bristol.
It's claimed that the cathedral was found
ed by King Offa in the ninth century. The

with that foundation, except as to site, the
building now in use being the third which
has stood on the same spot while some Of
the ruins of one Of the older remain ada.

about 1915, but was not finished until 1886.

feature being especially fine in its foliated
pinnacles at the corners and the turreted

three years great musical festival is held
in the cathedral, and, lying so near the

THE "INFERNAL MACHINES

COnspiratOrs.

WASHINGTON, July IS. 1t is stated that in
accordance with instructions from Secretary
Window, Treasury officials have hunted up
the laws bearing on the subject of shipping
explosives. etc. and the Collector of Customs
at Boston, from whence the internal machines
and combustibles are said to have been taken,
will, be instructed to examine the manifests of
the cargo of the vessels that are supposed to
have carried to Liverpool the dangerous ma
chimes.
The law requires that all manifests shall
contain full. just and true accounts of all ar
ticles shipped on the vessel applying for clear
ance papers Ii is believed that by examina-
ton of the manifests of the two vessels that
carried the internal machines, clue may be
obtained that will lead TO the apprehension
and punishment of many persons.
A new torpedo boat. which successfully
works under water. has been built here by an
inventor named Holland. who is believed to
be Fenian. The boat is 81 feet long, 6 feet
in diameter. cigar shaped, driven by pro-
peller, and will make six miles an hour under
water. She was built by the Delamster iron
works, and is now at Bergen's wharf. Jersey
City. Everything in connection with her is
kept secret, but it has been ascertaned that
two wealthy Irshmen of Philadelphia are the
owners.
Secretary Window. to-day, addressed COM
municatious to the Collector of Customs at
Boston and New York. The letters contained
instructions to these officers to use every en-
deavor to ascertain the name of the consignor
of the Internal machines alleged to have been
shipped from these ports. The Secretary
hopes, at least, to discover a clew which NAV
lead to the detection of the guilty parties.

The Washington Star makes the follow
ing suggestion I'm order that the line of
succession to the Presidency of the United
States may always be complete, it is sug
gested that each Congress be required to
organize on the day in which it begins to
exist. This is practical suggestion 1t
need not entail any additional cost upon
the country. The 18th Congress. for in
stance, began its existence on the eth of
last March. Members-elcct draw their
per diem from that day. The failure of the
Senate mt the special session to elect n
President pro temp0re, was owing to the
equal division of that body politically. and
while this may not occur again for many
years. it shows the Importance of having
Speaker of the House in existence, be-
cause the Presidency of the United States
may devolve upon that official. The change
suggested would put in a new set OF
House officials and employees at the be-
ginning of the term of Congress, instead
of. ~ now. permitting the old set to hold
over until the following December. 1t
would not increase the pay roll at all,
while it would keep in official existence
positions that are in the direct line of sue
cession to the Presidency
The indications are that the candidates
at the coming democratic convention in
Virginia will be almost rs numerous as
the delegates. The ticket TO be nominat-
cd consists of governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and attorney general, The con-
vention will meet in Richmond on the 4th

is considerable diversity of sentiment in
the party on the subject of that trouble
