Dr. aattlin,s Coast Dsisnses.

In an interview with Hartford
Comm Herald reporter on the 25th Of
January, DR.. Gattlin, the inventor Of the
Gattlin machine gun, said in reply TO a
request for description Of his newly
nvend torpedo boat:
"I have devised torpedo boat which
I regard az more effective and certain in
action than any heretofore invented.
With it any iron.clad seeking to enter
our harbors, or coming to anchor for in.
stance in the lower bay Of New York,
could be quickly and easily destroyed.
The boat will be inexper sive as compar-
ed with other torpedo boats. In an
emergency tug boats Of twenty-five to
one hundred tons could Be speedily con.
verted into effective torpedo boats. My
choice, however, would be iron or steel
boats with q speed Of not less than
twenty knots an hour"
els speed ore Of the essentials OF your
plan ?" asked.
"The chief elements are speed, the
armament and the full protection OF the
officers and men, and these may all be
readily combined. With such craft as
! have designed I can put torpedo un-
der any war vessel however protected,
despite the utmost efforts Of the vessel
to avoid it. My boat will be propelled
by steam, and will approach an IRON
clad bow on, presenting the least sur
face to the guns Of the ship, and will be
so protected that the shots fired at her
will have no effect"
"What are your weapons Of offense? ?"
Making my boat as impregnable as
possible resort for the destruction of a
hostile vessel to the use OF high explo.
sives. such as nitrogelatine, dynamite,
&c. My system may be generally de.
scribed as that OF controlling torpedoes,'
which are under the absolute control of
the officers of the boat until the instant
of explosion. My plan will drive tor.
pedo through any net or other protec.
tion an iron.clad may have and place it
at the desired point for explosion. In
short time shall be prepared to give to
the public detailed description Of my
plans, and am satisfied that the sim.
plicity and economy of the system will
be seen at once as we'll as its efficiency"
Should the doctors expectations be
realized, the coast defenses of the United
States will be a problem which will be
easily solved.

Political commotion in France h,

Political commotion in France has
reached the boiling point. Last Sunday
the election held in the city of Paris re-
suited in the return Of Gen. Boulanger
to the Chamber OF Deputies by very
large majority-about S0,0O0 Gen.
Boulanger appears to be an accident as
to his popularity, declaring himself to
be the only general in France. He was
lately vanquished in duel by a lawyer.
Notwithstanding he is still the idolized
favorite of that fickle people. The Re-
public Of France is at the present time
passing through crisis that will tax
the wisdom of her last statesmen to carry
the government safely over. In the
the eyes of all Europe, as well
as America, are directed towards the
Republic.

In the last issue OF the News. HERALD
We were led to say something OF the
practice in our courts of justice. We do
not know whether this practice has ex.
listed since time immemorial or whether
it is modern development, but be it new
or ancient we are very firm in the belief
that it needs attention. We are not
alone in this belief, as the following ex-
tract taken from the columns OF the Gin
cinnati Times-Star Of January 30th will
show. The communication in the Times
Star treated of different topics which
were all of a European nature, and in
speaking OF the Parnell trial in England
which is demanding much of the atten-
tion of the British people, Henry
Labouchere says of the judges who pre-
side:
Give the judges of the Parnell COM
mission credit for every judicial quality
but one. 1t is quality which no Judge
should lack, but which, unless nature
has given it to him, no judge can COM
mand. This quality is courage. These
three excellent men may be--indeed
they are-wise and just, but, alas, they
are timid They can not stand up to
the counsel OF the times. They know
that they are being played with. They
know that time is being wasted. Not a
day passes in which they do not COM
plain in terms piteous indeed, but not
digniiied, of the treatment to which
they are subjected. But they have not
IT, eri, 20 protest against and suppress
il pprtinence. HENRY LABoUcHERE.
We are fully persuaded that many of
our judges who preside in our courts of
il see should read this with profit to
the dignity of the court, and also with
profit to the interest OF justice.

Fremont, Neb, April Is. 1t was just
learned today that the family of j. G
Anderson, a resident Of this city. was on
"a ili-fated steamer Danmark, which
was found abandoned IN mid-oCean. Mr..
Anderson was a resident of SAUNDERS
county, "A few miles south Of Fremont. a
few years ago. He returned 10 Copen-
hagen in 1881, and has resided there until
the present time. He returned to
Fremont this spring and pur-
chased residence property here. This
done he sent for his family, consisting of
a wife and six children, and they en-
bsrked OF the Danmark. When the
news Of its abandonment was received at
New York, Mr. Anderson was tele-
graphed that his family was on the ship.
Since receiving this intelligence he has
become almost distracted on account of
the great suspense and anxiety as to their
safety. He went 20 Omaha yesterday in
the hope of gaining some information as
TO their whereabouts.
