New Submarine Torpedo Boat.
New York, August 9th. - Professor
Tucker gave public exhibition of his sub
marine torpedo boat Peacemaker yester-
day, in North river. About $3.50 P. NJ. the
process of filing her receiver with caustiC
soda was begun. The soda had been satu-
rated with water, and in few minutes the
steam-gauge showed 1G0 pounds of pres
sure. Compressed air was then forced into
pipes, placed so that small quantities can
be released from time to time as the atmos-
phere in the hold grows foul. The pilot
tool, his place amidships, with his head in
side the windowed dome, which rises two
feet above the deck. The engineer followed
him, and firmly screwed down the man
hole from the inside. These two men COM
pose the entire crew. The vessel started
up the river at q speed of six miles an
hour. By the use OF the lateral rudders,
she sank below the surface almost imme-
diately, and appeared again about half
mile up the river, after a submersion of
five minutes. On the second trip, the Peace
maker made the longest dive yet at
tempted-from one and half to two
miles-passing under two steamers and ris-
ing within ten feet of the canal boats.
Coast Defenses.
NEW YORK, August 27th.-A. NJ. Gibson,
who was long intimate with Tilden, writes
to the Sun: g. know Of my personal
knowledge that what Tilden wrote about
the necessity for coast defenses was origi-
nally sent to Washington to be incorpora-
ted in Cleveland's message to Congress. |
know that when Cleveland declined to use
it Tilden changed the opening paragraph
dressed the letter to Speaker Carlisle and
gave it TO the Associated Press, so that its
publication would anticipate the Presidents
message. How do | know these facts
First, Tilden told me; second, l saw the
manuscript in both forms.'
The Sailing of the Mayfower.
New York, August 27th.-The sloop At
lantic hauled up and went out of commits
sion yesterday. The Puritan went East
ward. General Paine, owner of the May
flower, says he will sail her himself in the
race with the Galatea. The Tribune says
editorially: This announcement filled
the yachtmen with surprise yesterday. To
be sure the Mayflower is the Generals
boat, but it is also true the keeping Of the
Americas Cup on this side of the water is
matter in which the people are more in
terested than General Paine. 1t is almost
universally acknowledged that the May
flower is the fastest and the worst handled
yacht ever seen in these waters. General
Paine may be good amateur sailor, but it
is not amateur seamanship that is wanted
for such ali important place as that for the
cup"
Hasgin's Jockey.
New YORK, August 27th.-The Tribune
to-day sharply criticises jockey Speliman's
riding for Haggin's stables. 1t says Spell
man has the habit of leaning back and
taking double pull on his horse when he
thinks he is beaten. He did that both with
Hidalgo and Ben Ali yesterday. What if
he should do it before he is beaten? Is he
always sure ne is beaten when he takes
that double pull? An inquisitive judge,
with no fear of Haggins millions before
his eyes, may ask disagreeable questions
some day. a greet many people wish that
Spellman had more perseverance and less
promptnesS.
Eigh Churchmen Disturbed.
New YORK, August 27th.-The High
Churchmen are disturbed by the promi-
nence given in some OF the Episcopal jour
nails to petition to the General Conven-
ton, which is in ci-cG ia,i1n mere, and
receiving many signatures. clerical and lay,
requesting that body, AZ It's next session, to
take such action as il Hay deem eXpe-
dent to further the orgiua unity of all
Christians Of this land. T.ey think it is
an opening t. characterization with the
sects, policy whereby The Church has
more to lose than 10 gain. There is not
the slightest probability that the petition
will obtain solitary signature from any of
the nine or ten clergyman who are asso-
ciated with Trinity parish. On the other
hand, it will have a strong support in st.
Bartholomew St. Thomas, Grace, Holy
Trinity and other strongholds of the Evan
gelical party.
Press Comments on Republican Leaders.
New YORK, August 27th.-The Herald
says in an editorial The most significant
feature of the heavy speech with which
Blaine is travelling through the State of
Maine, is its presentment OF himself as a
distinctively Eastern candidate for the Re
publican denomination 10 the Presidency.
1t cannot escape observation and remark
that the two national topics which Blaine
chooses for debate TO the exclusion of all
others are mainly Eastern in their appliCa-
ton. His scheme for 1888, is apparently
to abandon the West to General Logan,
and rely on the East with his customary
alliance of the colored delegates from the
South. Perhaps this bold shifting of his
plan of operations is a shrewd one for him.
lie probably has satisfied himself that he
stands no chance any longer in the West
with his former colleague on the Republi-
can ticket for his rival there.
The Sun says editorially: 1t is noticeable
that while the leading candidate for the
Republican nomination for President,
Blaine, begins to talk to the public in the
East, the next to the leading candidate, w.
B. Allison, of Iowa. addresses the public of
the West. They stand ike the two towers
of our giant bridge, and there is nobody in
between Logan is in California, Sherman
is somewhere else, Hawley is quiet and
Brother Evarts IS happily recovering from
being thrown out of a carriage. Wouldn't
the two orators of the day make mighty
Republican ticket, though-Blaine and AL
lison?

Shocking Death.
CINCINNATI, August 27th.-Sisier Eulalie,
Super;oress of the Immaculate Academy at
Newport, Kentucky. met a shocking death
this morning. She was nearly convales-
cent from an attack of typhoid fever,
and about o'clock was trying to take
some medicine, when the mosquito bar
caught fire, and in a moment the bed was
mass of flames. Sister Eulalie sprang out
and tried to get into the hall but found the
door locked, and in her fright she could not
find the key. Occupants of the house came
to her assistance, but had to break down
the door TO reach her. When the fire was
exlinguished the unfortunate woman was
so badly burned that she died in two hours.
She was widely known in the Catholic
Church.
