SUBMARINE TERROR.
The New French Gunboat Which Fights
Under Water.

PARIS, May 17th.-Recent experiments
with the new submarine gunboat, the
Gymnote, have proved entirely satisfactory.
After the first experiments il was found
necessary to modify the accumulator cases,
and, after patient research, cases were at
length produced which have given entire
satisfaction. They are made of special
kind OF gutta. percha.
After having made preparatory trip the
boat re-entereG the harbor and had her ac-
cumulators charged. At noon of the sec
ond day she was heremetieslly sealed by
closing the panel giving admission 10 the
interior, which was not to be opened till
four hours later.
The Gymnote was accompanied bv a
steam launch, which had instructions 10
keep out OF the way any boats which
might come up. On getting to the place
selected for the trials everything wss put
in order for the plunge, and at a given
signal the boat slowly descended and re-
manned at depth of two meters and fifty
centimeters below the surface of the water.
1t was found easy to remain at that depth
with variations of about twenty cent?
meters. The depth, of course, was esti-
mated by the number of turns of the
screw, and in this way it was known when
the limit of deep water was reached.
The Gymnote then returned to the sur
face and took plunge in the opposite d.
rection, and made various evoiutions to
show her powers of steering and of remain
ing at given depth. She did not leave OH
the surface any trace Of her passage, and is
quite invisible when painted gray, but on
the occasion of these trials she was painted
white, in order that her course might be
seen under water Altogether, the expert
ments were most successful, ard seem to
mark most decided advance on anything
that has hitherto been attempted.

GRASS VALLEY, May 17th.-Messrs. L. NJ.
Carr and son tonight presented Quartz
Parior, N. s. g. W., with a gavel made
from piece of oak cut from q rafter of
Suffers Fort twenty. five years ago. The
Natives are delighted.
Eight new companies started to work on
mines here recently. A Chicago syndicate
is opening the Ben Franklin and Lafayette.
A London company is opening the
Menlo, comprising the Homeward Bound,
Illinois and Wisconsin. Local companies
are opening st. Johns, Crown Point and
Peabody. The McCreary Bros. & Co., who
successfully opened the Hartery and Lone
Jack. are at work on the Gold Hill mine,
where gold quartz was first discovered il
California.
The flooded North Star mine was cleared
of water this week, and the Empire will
be clear in few days. Good strikes were
recently made in w. Y. o. D., North Ban
ner and Pittsburg.
The rich new ledge found in the Idaho
three weeks ago continues to hold out.
Plenty of miners are here for all the work,
however and no outside labor will be re-
quired until the new companies develop
their properties.

SANTA he ca. NJ. May 17th.-The
New Mexico officials and the Sanitary
Live Stock Commission are using every eff
fort TO show the Nebraska authorities the
injustice OF the quarantine recently estab-

cattle. Governor Thomas yesterday wired
Governor Thayer On the subsect and to-
day the Territorial Cattle Sanitary Com
mission met here in consultation with the
Governor and Sclicitor~G eneraI and dis
cussed the matter. 10 disease ever
originated among the cattle of Mex Mexico
nor has there been a case of Texas fever
here since the establishment of the Ssni-
tary Board. The climatic conditions are
such that the cattle here are less subject 10
disease than in any other locality. Ten
thousand cattle in the Territory, se-
Gently purchased by Nebraska parties, are
now being held in quarantine. There is a
possibility that seme spite work is at the
bottom OF this, and that when the facts are
made clear to Governor Thayer he will
hardly continue the embargo. In fact. the

Scheme to Picket the Northern and
Southern Lines.
Los ANGELES, May 17th.-United States
Marshal George Gard has been investigat-
ing 10 discover the best and cheapest
method for the Government to adopt to
prevent violations of the Chinese Exclusion
Act Concerning the conclusions he has
arrived at be said: There is one very
effective way by which the Federal Gov
eminent could stop the Chinese invasion
from Mexico. 1t is very simple, too, and
would be less expensive than catching
Chinamen on the border and shipping
them back to China by way of San Fran
cisco. l would suggest that Congress
authorize the organization of a veteran
cavalry patrol to picket the frontier south
of us. Something ought to be done on the
British American line, too. There are
hundreds of able bodied Union veterans on
the Pacific coast who would be glad to en-
list in a cavalry regiment to be recruited
for special service OF this kind. Many of
these men are out of work and would be
glad to serve the Government for two or
three years on such duty. The only GER
tain way to prevent the smuggling of China
men across the line is to picket and patrol
both frontiers, and by establishing stations
at certain points it would be an easy mat
ter 10 patrol the intervening ground, both
night and day."
Marshal Gard Will embody these sugges-
tions in an official communication to At
torney. General Miller.

COMMoN-sENsE RIDING.
A New York Belle Rides in Bifuroated
SHIRT


Skirt.
New YORK, May 17th.-So far as known,
the first exhibition of the May style" of
riding horse in public was given in
Central Park this afternoon. The rider was
Miss Nettie Littell, who comes of an old
, Virginia family, and is young, pretty and
dashipg. The start was made with a male
escort at the Fifth-ayenue entrance to the
park, the young woman riding spirited
gelding. The drive covered ten miles.
Miss Lttell wore velvet trimmed, broad
brim black felt hat, surmounted with a
black ostrich feather. Her jacket was a.
cutawsy, trimmed with braid la mill.
taire. Her waist was of white flannel, with
a tie to match. The skirt is heavy
double-kilted bifurcated one, walking
length so arranged as to be used for street
wear unnoticed.
She wears knickerbockers and high top
boots, costume light and comfortablesfor
, either riding or walking, and one with
which il is impossible to get caught il the
saddle.
In regard to the side-saddle, Miss Littell
says 1T is a cruelty to both the horse and
the woman. 1t tires the animal, is liable
to give spinal curvature and other troubles
TO the woman, leads to one-sided develop
ment and is certainly ungraceful and I'M
safe" The lady will be seen frequently
hereafter riding astride as she does among
her native Virginian hills.
