ERIossoN's DESTROYER.
The Senate Naval Committee Recon-.
menda Its PurcbAse,


meDds Its Purchase.
The Senate Naval Committee has advised
the purchase of Captain John Erlcsson's De.
stroycr for $4,000, with the privilege of
buying also the patents relating to the YES
sci for 100000 more. The vessel is in.
tended for harbor defensos, and the action
Of the gun it carries Isl submarine. The
vessel lie, in fact, only the carriage for the
gun, which is 80 feet long, 16-inch aperture,
aud carries projectIe % feet long, weigh
ing 1,d50 pounds. Tho explosive charge Is
800 pounds of gun cotton. The range Is
limited, and the discharge must take place
within 800 feet of the enemy's ship. Thick
armor is thus necessary for the Destroyer
There has been and is much difference of
opinion among naval officers as to tho value
of Ericsson's invention. The fact that he
has conducted, at his own expense, long
series Of useful experiments, of which the
Government has partially reaped the ben
eft, and further, tho remembrance of the
invaluable services of his monitor, during
the war, have doubtless had much to do
with inclining the committee to recon-
mend the purchase and trial of his new eu-
CINE of naval destruction.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 17.-Italy's ac-
tion in the Red Sea has occasioned very
much anxiety and great anger here. The
Porte, however, has no idea Of backing up
its protests in that quarter The naval
preparations consist of docking iron -clads
of the reserve class for the purpose of clean
ing bottom. This is mere routine. The
vessels are being brought forward for SER
vice. All the iron-clads, except the flying
squadron, are still maintained in their pre-.
vlous dismantled condition, even the squad
ron consisting only oftwo frigates and two
corvettes-always kept ready at Constanti-
nople for emergencies, being without coal

MANNING,S METHODS.

The first Democratic attempt to
reduce the public debt is a dismal
failure. The statement for the first
month of the new fiscal year shows
an alleged reduction in the public
debt Of $685., 100, against about
100000 for July, 1884. The re-
duction for the month just closed
does not affect the principal of the
bonded debt, and as a matter OF
fact there has been no reduction
whatever, in the sense that the
general reader would suppose in
reading the official announcement
ofthe G Governments fiscal operations
for July. The reported reduction
was obtained by the payment OF
interest on the debt. That is to
say. during the month of July the
interest due and payable and that
accrued amounted to certain sum,
which was, of course, added to the
treasury obligations, and that
amount, about s8,OOo,OoO, was paid,
leaving the principal of the debt In
precisely the same condition as on
july 80. The net cash in the
Treasury shows a loss, compared
with July, of about $2,5Oo,Ooo.
According to the new method OF
arranging the debt statement adopt
ed by Treasurer Jordan, the cash
available for the payment OF the
nublic debt is now $44,5O2,5O4,
against s4O,676,e3O on July LIST.
This apparent increase is really a
loss. because the balance for Au-
gust included 100000 received
from the New York Clearinghouse
Association in exchange for like
amount Of fractional silver coin.
The Democrats must do better than
this to carry out their campaign
promises.
