He Gets There BY Trying 20 Deal with
Welsh Music and British Politics I'm
One Day.
Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
to-day has aroused q curious controversy over the
question, "Should a statesman attending an
Eisteddfod at that Welsh town take advantage OF
the opportunity OF his visit there TO deliver a
speech on public afrairs?" Gladstone thought
himself entitled TO do so, having a long standing
engagement to deliver an address TO the liberals
OF Wrexham. He also recently accepted an invi-
tation to the Eisteddfod and thought he would
make the one journey answer the double purpose.
his great rival, Disrael, and other statesmen
nave frequently adopted ST milar plan in similar
circumstances IL occurred TO some persons on
the Elsteddfod committee that no politics ought

Wrexham for the whole week while the Eisteddfod
held, and they sent a formal request TO Gladstone
to that effect. This

Ing. II that was abandoned thousands OF ardent
welsh liberals would be bitterly disappointed. on
the other hand Gladstone declares he Is willing %
adopt any arrangement generally acceptable, but

Absurd Story Of a British suv.

Absurd Story Of q British Spy.
LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE FOR AMERICAN TOR
PEDO SECRETS.
Army and naval officers are greatly amused over
recently published paragraph to the effect that
the English government has through SPY, dis.
covered the secret OF the American systems Of
torpedo warfare and defense. The story was that
this spy, an of1cer, reached Washington short
time ago, and soon became acquainted with q
number OF naval Officers. He attempted to
discover the secrets Of the torpedo system at
london ana na
failed because the object OF his visit was suspected
at each place: He has finally, runs the account,
found and sent to the London war ONCE copies OF
all the drawings OF the tOrpedOes and the appli-
ances for their use, and 1t is feared that he has
fathomed all the secrets Of the American torpedo
system, knowledge particularly valuable, be-
cause, in the helpless condition OF our seacoast,
the Government Is relying upon its excellent tor.
pedo system to protect the country from foreign
invasion.
OUT OF HIS WAY.
It would seem, upon investigation that the En-.
glish spy. supposing his existence, has gone out
OF his way to avoid the very discovery he Is seek
Ing for the only secret system OF torpedOes in this
country Is O. part OF the harbor defense, and is
does claim ns to naVs any 1s sorpesoes peS sa
torpedo systems. There is but one kind
OF OF , torpedo now In use in the Navy,
tically valueless In view Of the better ones OF
foreign invention and manufacture. The Navy
has repeatedly tried to secure authority to puf-
chase and use torpedoes Of other patterns but all
legislation on the subject has been crippled by
the Introduction OF some phrase relating TO
domestic manufacture. AS all OF the best weapons
OF this class are foreign, the Navy has been kept at
q stand still in this line.
THE ARMY TORPEDO SYSTEM
But the Army system OF torpedo warfare Is on q
different basis that OF Defense instead OF offense
which is the principle in the naval torpedo systems
There is present but one station for experiments
In this science, at Wllett's Point, New York Har-
Dor, where there is an elaborate plant The sys-
TEN or circuit clOSers and OF cables Is regarded as
secret, and carefully guarded. 1t Is probably
known 70 less than fifty people. But there Is
nosecret IN the style OF weapon, which Is merely
case OF an explosive substance anchored
in the channel Of the entrance to harbor. Maps
have been carefully prepared OF the various mar
Dors OF the United States, showing exactly the
system OF torpedo laying to be adopted In each in
case or emergency. These maps are in duplicate
one being at Wiett's Point and one at the once OF
the Chier OF Engineers in this city, both being
locked and guarded. This Is the most important
secret OF all, and should the English government
wish TO learn the secret systems OF American tor
pedoes IL would have TO go farther than to send
one naval of1cer to peer around q half q dozen
places and buy copies OF drawings Of some Ameri-
can inventions.
