ARCHER IN GREAT LUCK.
A Little Techpicality Comes to the Aid of
the Big Rascal.

the Big Rascal.
BALTIMORE, May 15.--When the case
against the defaulting state treasurer,
Stevenson Archer, was called in the
criminal court, Mr.. Edgar Cans, of
counsel for the defense, interposed de-
mu1rer to the indictment which charged
Archer with embezzling $192, ,O00
The argument which followed was
based on the law passed by the legisla-
ture in 1854, and which defines the PEN
atty for misappropriating state funds.
The statute in question provides that all
persons holding public Office who EN-
bezzle any funds which they are re-
quired by law to pay over to the treas
urer or other person authorized by law
to receive the same shall be punished.
Mr.. Cans argued that, interpreting
these words in their obnoxious meaning,
it was not intended to apply to the treas
urer, because the statute expressly di-
vided public officers into two classes
those who pay over and those who re-
ceive public money-and punished only
those who were required to pay over.
He further made the point that the
treasurer could not be included in either,
inasmuch as 1t was necessary for him to
pay money over to himself. Attorney
General Whyte followed in explanation
of the statute, which, though ambigu-
ously worded, plainly showed the intent
of the law.
Judge Stewart, however, thought diff
ferently, for he sustained the demurrer
and by so doing held that Archer could
not be tried for embezzlement. The
state must now rely upon its malfeas-
ance case at Annapolis. The indica-
tions are that Archer will never be pun
ished.

What She Lost by Not Listening to His
Prophecies About Africa.
LONDON, May 15--The reception to
Henry M. Stanley in the Guild hall
Tuesday was an enthusiastic affair. A
dense crowd thronged the approaches to
the building, and the appearance of Mr..
Stanley was the signal for tremendous
outburst of cheering. The guests num-
bered 1000. The lord mayor presented
to the explorer a casket, containing an
address from the corporation Of London.
Mr. Stanley in returning thanks for
himself and for his companions, said
that the Congo might have belonged
to England had Englishmen listened
to his lectures between 1878 and 1884
Belgium is reaping 100 per cent. En-

panions and not chill their young souls

hour without regard to distance.
The Gushing is 1913 feet long, fifteen
feet beam at the widest part and nine
feet deep. Without her load of ammu-
milton she is about five feet out Of water
at her bow and two at the stern. Her
draft when on an even keel is four and a
half feet Her speed is such as to give
the same impression of rapid travelling
as an ordinary express train. The power
of her two engines is tremendous. They
are quadruple expansion engines and
each runs an independent screw.
The boat can be stopped and started
astern inside of three times her length
when running at high speed. She can
be spun around rapidly without moving
ahead and so turned within her length.
She can run around at high speed in a
circle the diameter of which is only a
few times her length. In action the ex-
pectation is that she can run up at high
speed to within 200 or 800 yards of a ves-
sci, discharging a torpedo from her bows
and retreat, leaving the torpedo to pro-
ceed on his way. These latter are them
selves propelled in their flight by at
tached machinery
The full crew is eighteen. The officers
are Lieut.. c. McRae Winslow, Ensign
William Truxton and Assistant En-
gineer B. f. Bryan. The machinery
makes very little noise, and there is lit
tie treE;or to the boat. 1t is voted by
everybody to be a wonderful craft.
