lets, assistant secretary Of the Department of
Agriculture and member Of the government

Suspected oil Seliverskoff,s Murder.

suspected or SeliverskOfPs Murder.
Regarding Gen. Seliverskoff, who was shot
ON Tuesday in Paris, the correspondent of the
London Tines, writing at the French capital,
says:
'Those acquainted with Gen. Seliverskoff
and conversant with his career do not believe
that his murder was due to nihilist vengeance
1t was only for a few months in 1878 that he
was at the head OF the third section of the
Russian police. He resigned abruptly on the
Gear Alexander's rejecting the rigorous meas
ures he proposed against nihilism Since that
time he has led q retired life, mostly away
from Russia. While criticising the action OF
the French government, he had q bad opinion
OF Bouianger and predicted his downfall It
is supposed that Seliverskof is q victim of
private vengeance"
Russian has been arrested In Paris In CON-
nectlon with the murder. Nothing IL missing
from the generals rooms, and it is evident that
theft was not the motive Of the murder. A
man resembling Podesky, the suspected muir
derer, has been arrested on the Spanish from
tier.

Capt. Norton VIII Cross tho Atlantic In
a Double Bottom Vessel

The midget steamer Norton will sail from
New York on Saturday for Toulon, France.
She was designed by her captain, Francis L.
Norton, and measures So feet over all; her
beam is II feet, and she has a draught of
feet AZ inches when loaded with tons of coal,
her full capacity. She can steam miles an
hour with her 30-horse-power engines, but her
commander expects to run at least $50 miles a
day, burning but half ton Of coal. She car
ries an enormous amount of canvass for such q
small vessel, especially q steamer, and her
speed will be greatly increased when favor
able wind prevails. Capt Norton expects to
make the trip in nine days. He sailed the

ventor, and which it is his ambition to have
adopted by France for her life boats. She has
a double bottom, divided into six ballast COM
and made Of galvanized iron. Close to the
keel in the bottom of each chamber is an open
ing fitted with a lead sleeve.

The sleeve is perfectly water-tight The
weight of the boat drives the water through
these openings and fills the chamber, the air
being driven out through the main deck auto
matte tubes The boat therefore floats on the
inner bottom. Two life boats constructed on
this plan are on board the Norton. and. like
the large boat, Capt. Norton says, they cannot
be capsized by the ordinary waves.
The crew of the vessel consists of Chief Engi-
neer VIM. Crawford Assistant Engineer Arthur
