The New rornedo Raat

When the old Victory bore Nelson's and
England's fortunes through the battle OF
Trafalgar, the famous man-of-war was then
In its fortieth year OF service. Such was the
length Of life Of war ship in those old
days; and such was the conservatism of ma
val designers land construct r.. Today a
ship commissioned forty years ago would be
as little able to mingle in a battle like Ira
falgar with war ships Of today, as would
Macedonian phalanx to engage modern
army corps armed with repeating rifles and
Krupp guns. Yet every day of progress In
the efforts Of the United States to establish
navy shows that while other great nations
have been going ahead so fast, we have prac-
tically been standing STILL The newly an
nounced completion of a torpedo boat built
for the government by the Herreshoff's
marks the first addition of really effective
boat Of this sort to the United States navy.
Yet three years ago Russia planned no less
than twelve boats Of this kind for her navy:
and that year four others not included in
these plans, were delivered to the Russian
government and received high praise for
their remarkable qualities. One Of these
boats during six hours Of steaming averaged
the high speed Of % 1-5 knots an hour. An
other Of the four, loaded with a crew of IA
men, 145 tons Of ballast and coal for a run
Of 1900 miles reached during an hours
steaming speed Of % knots. This was at
that time the highest speed ever recorded.
But that year the Spanish government, little
renowned as naval power, contracted with
Messrs. Yarrow & Co., the English builders,
for two torpedo boats guaranteed for speed
Of % knots when in fighting trim, and %
knots when running light. and one Of these
boats has actually attained speed Of 1858
knots. The new American torpedo boat.
(Which Is to be called Torpedo Boat No. /,
because the Stiletto, purchased sometime
ago, is too light for the whole service of a
torpedo boat comes upon the scene after
otner naval powers have been experimenting
LOT several years; and though II would have
been disastrously late in its appearance had
we been involved in complications needing a
naval force, will probably be OF the most an
proved design on account of the experiments
which other nations have made. II 10 1aa
feet long, about 145 feet beam. and has ga
feet draught. Its displacement will be about
so tons, and the indicated horse power prob-
ably about 1000. The proposals for con.
struction were invited by Secretary Whitney
two years, under an act passed by the Forty
ninth Congress. The maximum cost, exclu-
sive Of premiums, was limited by Congress
to $4,000, and the Herreshoff secured the
contract with bid of $s2,75O. In the con-
tract, as drawn up, the guaranteed speed is
twenty knots to be maintained for twenty
three hours In succession, and carrying
specified weight. A premium will be paid
for all speed in excess; and a failure to attain

EruptIors from the soudan.

1t was four years ago that Lord Wolse-
ley's army, followed by thousands of fleeing
refugees, returned from the unsuccessful
march to rescue Gordon at Khartoum; and
left a rear guard under General Grenfell In
the frontiers Of Egypt as protection against
the tide of Arab insurrection that had hurled
civilized administration and civilized force
out of the Soudan. The idea of tue English
at that time seems to have been to set the
frontiers of Egypt as the bound beyond
which the forces of the Mahd should not
come, and below which the surges Of fanatic
Ism might rage until they had beaten
themselves out. But General Wolseley, who
had certainly had fair opportunity to
measure the force and the animus of the
Mahdish instruction, did not believe that 1t
would beat itself out. He was Of the opin
ion that the death Of Mohammed Ahmed,
the then Mahdi, would make no very great
difference in the state Of affairs. Another
holy man would soon be found in his place.
In public letter to Lord Harrington In 1875
General Wolseley iterated these prophetic
words: Neither the present nor any future
Mahdi will be overcome by merely repulsing
attacks on Egypt proper II any minor ex-
petitions be may send forward are beaten
they will simply fall back into the desert, to
return again In few months. His power
and his hold over the natives win not be
shaken by the fact that a small party led by
one OF his followers has been roughly ham
died by the English at Woody Halfa or Kor-
osko. We must try conclusions with him
personally, and In such a way that there
may be 70 doubt in the native mind that he
has put forth his full strength and been de-
feated." The event has shown how close
was this prophecy. Not six months after
this letter was written the wonderful man
called the Mahdi did die, probably of spot
ted fever. caused by his neglect to bury the
dead after the massacre at the capture of
Khartoum. But another "holy man" arose
as the new Mahdi, and after four years there
Is the same old condition of bowling and ia
ratical dervishes hurting themselves against
the English rear guards. In all those four
years there has been almost constant fight
ing, either on the Red Sea at Suaklm, or oy-
or on the Nile on the border OF Egypt. Not
only will there be no order and no
commerce in the great Soudan until the
Mahdi is overlooked but it seems to be evil
dent that there will be no peace anywhere
within sight of Mahdist outpost

Col. Fellows, the district attorney of New
York, promptly and vigorously denies that
he used his influence to have the Sullivan
Kilrain prize fight come off on the line of a
railroad managed by his cousin, so that road
might get the benefit Of 1t. 1t looks as
thought the Colonel wasn't guilty In this case,
but it is pity that his reputation is not
such as to make his denial superfuous.
