Tho Performances of II New Submarine
Torpedo Boat.
New YoRK, August 25.-The dream OF
Jules Verne seems to have been realized
In boat constructed by an American in
ventor. The World to-day gives the fol-
lowing account OF the trial OF the boat:
A submarine torpedo boat invented by
Professor j. Fl. l.. Tuck was yesterday
tested and proved practical success
In the presence ot large party Of gem
tlemer Interested. They went aboard
the steamer Chance Shot at Eighty.sixth
street, North river. The submarine yes.
sci lay like gigantic turtle lashed to the
steamers side. She has been christened
tho "peacemaker." She was constructed
at the yard OF y. H. Dalameter 4 Co., and
Is 80 feet long, with q breadth Of beam Of
8! feet and depth Of n feet. The bow
and stern taper oLF from amidships, aud
the forward end OF the vessel Is sur
mounted by dome twelve inches high,
which Is set with glass, and Just
bis head into. Admission TO the
boat Is through circular ecuttle shalt OF
the dome. At the stern there is q pro-
peller and a rudder Of ordinary fashion,
and two horizontal rudders with which
the boat may be detected up or down.
The interior Is half filed with machinery
aud mechanical devices, including pow.
eriul little Westinghouse engine. Com

1t no duty OF q representative to busy him'

A HOT DEBATE
In tho House of Commons on tho Irish
Landlords.

In tho House Of Commons on tho Irish
Landlords.
LONDON, August 25.-The debate on the
address in reply to the Queens speech
was continued this evening. Sir Thomas
Esmonde, Home Ruler, dwelt upon the
hardships Of the Irish farmers. Their pro.
duce was unsaleable and II was therefore a
cruel barbarity for the landlords to exact
rents.
William Redmond, Nationalist, said 1t
was useless 10 discuss q land settlement
now. The question was whether the
landlords would be allowed to evict ten.
ants for not paying impossible rents,
whether the English would allow the
Irish to DO cast into the roadside. II the
result was poverty, misery and outrages,
the responsibility would rest with the
government, whose only panacea was the
appointment Of q royal commission.
Mr.. Stuart on behalf Of the democracy
In England denounced eviction and said
that the democracy would no. tolerate
coercion; Ireland must be autonomous.
Major Saunderson, Conservative, said
he would speak as landlord to reiute the
Parnellite charge that Irish landlords, or
blood suckers, as they were pleased to call
the landlords, (Parnellite Cheers), we're
afraid 10 make their voices heard in the
House OF Commons. He (Saunderson)
accepted the challenge. Conservative
cheers. Irish landlords, he said, were
not afraid to accept Parnelllte challenge
on this or any other point. Conservative
cheers and Parnellits laughter.
sAuNDERsoN sTiRs MATTERS UP.
Major saunderson quoted an extract from
q speech made in October, 1880, by Mr..
Matthew Harris, member from Galway, in
which the latter said that II the farmers
shot the landlords like partridges he would
not blame them.
At this point Mr.. Harris entered the
House, and Immediately asked Major
saunderson 10 fepeatthe quotation. Ma ]or
