THE oHIoELECTIoN.

The Ohio State election took place on the
18th. and resulted in the election of the en-
tire Republican State ticket, as follows
Governor, Joseph B. Foraker; lieutenant
governor, Robert p. Kennedy; treasurer of
state, John C. Brown; attorney general,
Jacob A Kohler; supreme Judge dong
term 4 a Minshall; supreme judge
(short term) w. T. Spear; Board of Public
Works, Wells S. Jones.
Returns are incomplete when this is writ
ten, but it is thought Judge Foraker's plu-
rality win range from $4,000 to 20O00. The
Legislature is also Republican, there being
a good working majority or joint ballot,
though possibly the senate may be Demo
cratic. This probably insures the re-elec-
ton of John Sherman, to the Senate.
Leonard the prohibition candidate for
Governor, polled about 10000 votes and his
candidacy hurt the Democrats more than
the Republicans. Republicans carried
Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) by {, 600 ma
iority. In Lucas CToledo) county, the
Democrats elect some of their local ticket,
but Foraker has 400 majority Both par
ties claim Hamilton (Cincinnati) county

the title of Bishop Auxerre, and was conse-
Grated March 10, 1S49. In the division of the
diocese of New York which took place in
1917, Bishop McCloskey was nominated first
Bishop of Albany, May 20. His zeal,
eloquence and popularity obtained him
the means of building churches in every
city and town, and of creating many insti-
buttons of charity and education.
After the death of Archbishop Hughes, he
was appointed to the see of New York,
May 6, 1864, and took possession of it Aug
81. On March Is, 1875, Archbishop McClos
key was made a cardinal of the order of
priests, he being the first American cardi-
nal ever appointed. On the death of the
pope 10 February, 1873, he was summoned
to Rome to attend the conclave of cardi-
nails for the election of a successor of Pious
TX By the death of the cardinal, Arch
bishop DIR. Corrigan, the coadjutor arch
bishop, becomes archbishop, but not card
inal, and there remains no American
cardinal.

AS SYRIAN AS FICTION.


 When Jules Verne wrote fTen Thou sand Leagues Under the Sea" his description of the submarine vessel in which the trip l was made was looked upon as very enter
 taining and ingenious bit of fiction. But since that time several interesting experi- l ments in submarine voyaging have been l made, and it now looks if the time was not far distant when those who wish to 'tsail" under water can do so.
 The latest and apparently most successful | attempt at submarine yoyaging is that of MT. Nordenfelt, the well known builder of tor ! pedo boats. He has succeeded in construct 1 ing submarine vessel, which has recently been tried near Stockholm, and which has apparently worked in many ways to the sat 1 isfaetion of the inventor and those who were 1 invited to witness the experiment.. The boat l is sixty-four feet long and has diameter of nine feet; it's shape is nearly that of a cigar, with the exception of 8 coffinlike projection | on the top, amidships, one foot high, which | enables the commander to see his way. The l motive power is steam alone, generated in
 boiler of: the ordinary marine type; but for | submarine work the frebox has to be sealed, | I by heating the water in two tanks, placed fore
 and aft, and connected by circulating tubes with the boiler up to 6 pressure of about
 one hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch. With this initial measure, the boat
 has been driven for sixteen miles at speed of about three knots an hour. The surface 1 speed of the craft is little over eight knots l an hour, and she has been run for one hun ] dred and fifty miles without reeoaling. In 1 order to force the boat under the surface, 1 enough sea water is taken in to reduce the l buoyancy to about one hundred pounds which suffices to keep the lookout projection 1 above the service; then to sink farther, yer 1 tical propellers set in motion, and by ! their action the boat is driven down to the required depth. When it is thought desira- l ble to come to the surface all that is necessa- 1 ry to do is to stop these vertical propellers, 1 in which case the reserve of buoyancy as 1 serts itself and the vessel rises to the top of l the water. Thus, if the engines were to break down, it would be impossible to keep l the craft any longer submerged Four men constitute the crew, and it is found that, without compressed air, enough air can be 1 carried in the hold of the craft to enable the men to remain under water for period of
 six hours without any special inconvenience. This is a decidedly interesting and signif-
 cant performance. It is not probable now
 that inventors will rest until some way of l submarine navigation is made a success. l When this happens naval warfare will have 1 some very unpleasant features. A subma-
 rine vessel could sneak up to war ship and blow it sky high without warning. And 8 l fight between two submarine vessels would 1 be a spectacle to make the fishes wonder

Malcolm, it was found, had recently sold a quantity of meat brought by vessel of that peculiar name. Macdonald on one occasion brought his bride large number of fancy rings on approval and Malcolm was friend
 and sometimes agent for jeweller. Not withstanding all these marvellous coinci- dences, numerous people were found to prove
 complete alibi for Malcolm on the occasion
 when Macdonald was engaged in the impor-
 tant work of marrying his bride. As an out
 come of all this conflict of evidence, the jury
 disagreed, and new trial will probably be
 necessary.
 The Mexican Financier thinks that Secre-
 tary Bayard's removal of MT. Strother, con sul-general of the United States in the city of Mexico, was 8 serious blunder. MT. Strother, it says, has acquired just that knowledge of Mexican business and acquaint- | ance with Mexican customs which enable a consul general to do his work we'll. When the British government gets 8 man of his stamp into it's diplomatic service, it not only holds on to him but promotes him. This is l one reason why British manufacturers and | merchants are getting the lions share of trade not merely in Mexico but in South
 America as we'll If the United States, J | says our Mexican contemporary, ''wishes to l acquire that influence in Spanish-American l countries to which it's greatness and power as | a nation justly entitle it, efficient consuls | must be retained, the ablest among them promoted to ministers, and adequate sala-
 ries paid to the entire service. The Ameri-
 can theory that because all men under the
 constitution of the republic are entitled to hold office, therefore any man has the mak- l ing of diplomat in him is ridiculous The public service is profession; diploma cy is no more to be improvised than legal I training or a knowledge of medicine" |
