Admiral Porter Talks.

Washington, 20.-The annual re-
port of Admiral Porter is notable
for the criticism of new armor steel
plate cruisers designed by the naval
advisory board, as being deficient in
canvas and so constructed as not to
work under sail. This in time of
war would be a fatal defect, as all
coaling stations would be closed
against US, and in time of peace
naval vessels should cruise under
sail for the sake OF economy. The
admiral believes in the immediate
construction OF a large plumber Of
swift vessels with powerful guns,
and thinks we could build twenty
large ships in two years Prompt
attention to lake defense he con>
siders of prime Importance. and
sees no reason why we should
not commence to build on lake
shores two of the heaviest
ironclads, with the most powerful
guns and great speed. Upon this
subject the admiral says there is
every facility for constructing such
vessels on Lake Erie, and one such
ship stationed near Buffalo could,
in case of threatened hostilities.
drop down. to the mouth OF the
Welland canal and demolish the
entrance, docks, etc., rendering the
work useless for naval or military
purposes. Even should a vessel
succeed in passing the canals, it

would recommend that one of tie
proposed ironclads be built on Lake
Ontario and kept in the stocks

Poole'S Speech.

Dublin, 2O.-Before he was SEN
fenced, Poole spoke at length In
earnest and at times excited tones.
He emphatically denied that he
murdered Kenney; admitted that
he was a member of the Fenlan
brotherhood, and said he would be
proud to go to the scaffold for being
member of it. Its object was not
to commit murder, but to free Ire
land from the tyrannlcal rule OF
England. He believed he was perse-
cuted because he was an enemy OF
the government under which he
had lived. Poole acknowledged
being in Kenney's company the
next night to the murder, but de-
clares he had no hand in striking
him down. He had belonged to the
brotherhood since he was Is years
of age, but had never belonged to
any vigilance committee. His pur-
pose was to wait until his country
men prepared to strike blow for
Independence. when he would CO.
operate with them. In conclusion
he said, Il am not afraid to die.
Farewell all, farewell Ireland.
Three cheers for the Irish
republic, death to English tyranny"
Poole was then sentenced to be
hanged December IS. The judge,
in passing sentence upon the prs
oner, was deeply affected. He said
the evidence left the jury no al
tentative and he quite cOncurred in
the verdict of guilty. Poole's father
wept aloud, exclaiming: "Oh, Joe,
joe" The prisoner replied falter-
ingly: "Keep up, father, keep up;
don't give way. am ready to de-"

Income Taxation,

Berlin, 2O.-The proposed bill for
the taxation of incomes referred to
in the royal speech at the opening
of the Diet, applies only to incomes
from personal property. Members
of the Chamber of Deputies re-
ceived the speech coldly; they com
plain that the passage dealing with
bills on taxation is not clear
Liberal newspapers criticise the
speech adversely, saying it does not
satisfy public curiosity concerning
real taxation, that the programme
is generally cOlorless and insignifi-
cant, and the proposed bill taxing
the interest accruing from capital
will not obtain a majority of the
lower House of the Diet.

Keller will be Served with an In
vitatiOn to Decline Even an
Empty Honor

hollSr WILL NC SCI sOo VIZ e~AA -
vitation to Decline Even an
Empty Honor.
Hackensack, n. j., 1S.-The Re
publican will contain tomorrow
an interview with VIM. Walter
Phelps, member elect to the next
Congress, in which he gives express
sion to the general wish among Re-
publican members Of the next
House that exSpeaker Keifer
should refuse to be a candidate for
the empty honor of denomination.
1t seems that Phelps has written
Keifer at the suggestion of members
of different parts of the country,
some of whom have served before
and others who enter Congress for
the first time. They believe their
party will be strengthened by tax
ing a new departure, and that the
House of Representatives Is the best
place to begin the new
movement for the selection of
new names for all the positions.
1t is said the reason why Phelps was
selected to carry on this cOrrespOn-
dence was because he is not per-
sonally acquainted with the ex-
Speaker, and being a New Jersey
Republican. he has not been in
volved in any of the factional quar-
rels of the party. He is therefore
acceptable to both stalwarts and
half breeds. In this interview
Phelps expresses the opinion that
the eX-Speaker, having the welfare
of the Re publican party at heart,
will not fail to recognize that its
future success depends on united
action, which can only be obtained
by mutual, full and friendly cons
cessions; any avoidance of such
action as that will tend to keep up
the disagreement two or three years.
Phelps, in the name of the party and
country, has appealed to Keller to
announce to his friends that he
would not accept a denomination.
He felt sure Keifer's example would
be followed by the sergeant-at-
arms and other officers of the last
House. Refers reply is not yet to
hand.
