British Torpedo-Boat Sunk in an Expert

LONDON, Oct. 2a-Experiments were
made In creek In Portsmouth harbor yes
terday with q protected boom invented by
the naval COMMITTEES. The boom consisted
of SIX wooden bulks one foot square and
forty feet long, arranged with the ends to-
wards the enemy. The spaces between the
beams were too narrow TO per-
nit torpedo vessel 10 pass
through. The obstacle was solidified
by ten steel hawsers intertwined among
the beams and faulty attached to barges on
either side. To prevent the impact of O
torpedo-boat from dipping the boom and
enabling it to glide over, another six-inch
hawser was suspended six feet above the
boom. The beams were armed with steel
points and powerful spikes shaped
like bulls horns. One of the swift
est torpedo boats in the British
navy-the one lately commanded by
pass the boom. The torpedo boat was en-
cssed In superstructure rising in the GEN.

order to carry the elevated hawser over tho
hull and prevent the smashing of tie fun

back if struck. A host OF Ad.

present to witness the experiments The
torpedo boat selected. carrying q lieuten-
ant and four seamen, whose lives were in
sured by the Admiralty. dashed forward at
the speed of f0urteen knots an hour, strik-
ing the boom in the center. The boat
mounted the first fence. smashing the boom
amidships, but the anchor-gear be-
came entangled with the overhead
hawser and stopped tho boat. Even then
the boat could have discharged torpedoes,
but she was fatally crippled and remained
filled with wnter, the boat having struck
the iron horns. The bottom of the star
board side was ripped open. The engines
being reversed freed the boat. and it i'm
mediately rolled over on It's starboard side,
The crew then abandoned her and she soon

came known that Philip Herbert Carpen-
ter, III. A.. T. r. s., the distinguished scien-
tist and high authority upon deep-sea
dredging. whose death was announced yes

titled to the fact that he found Mr. Carpen-
ter dead in bed with bottle Of chloroform
on a table by his side. DIR. Hale added
that the dead man held in his hand an
empty tumbler, which had evidently cor
tanned chloroform. and that on the table

ceased had written: 81 cannot any longer

BEFORE NEW YORK APPRAISERS.
Case That Involves the Future Importation of
$20,000,000 Worth of WoOsns.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The final reappralse-
ment hearing on the decision of Local Ap-
praiser Cooper and later of General Ap-
praiser Lunt upon the valuation for dutia-
BILE PURPOSES of a certain importation of
worsted suitings Is going forward before
General Appraisers Wilkinson. Sharrett
aud Sharpe. The case is one of the most
important which has ever come before the
board. 1t involves at least 81. .000. 900 worth
OF Goods-at-presea tied-ssp, awaiting de-
clsiOn. The decision on this case affects
the future importation of $50, ,0OO, 900 worth
of wooden goods. The principle Of the case
involves the question of what constitutes
market value. The particular firm in the
case is that of II. Herman Sternbach & Co.,
but it involves all the importing houses OF
tho country. Local Appraiser Cooper ad-
vanced the goods II per cent. above the in
voice price, which means an advance IN
duty of AZ per cent. The advance was
made on the representation of the Ameri-
can Woolen-manufacturers' Association,
who claimed that the goods were under
valued and were sold at price below the
actual price of production. While this was
the plea urged and the view taken by the
appraiser, the real principle in the case and
that which will affect the future impOrta-
tion of goods is the question of market
value. Many prominent importers gave
testimony. 1t was brought out in the testi-
mony that the goods were purchased in the
open market IN Bradford, England.
OF commission merchants who are agents
of the buyers and not the sellers. A
number of affidavits were presented show
ing that the cost OF production was below
that of the price paid in the open market
at Bradford. Both the importers ana the
w0olen manufacturers were represented by
counsel. conclusion of the hearing will

based on the grounds of cruelty. This
afternoon dramatic scene was enacted in

divorced couple, on bended knees, con-
fessed that they had made the mistake of
their lives and beseeched the Judge that
the Judgment be set aside. They declared
that they did not want the blot Of divorce
ment on their reputation, as each had for
given the other. Every auditor, including
his Honor on the bench. was visibly af-
fected by the touching appeal. and the
court gladly annulled the decree. The
two then stood up with tears in their eyes
and thanked him profusely for the act.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The financial
troubles of Pension Commissioner Raum,
which eliminated yesterday in an order by
Judge Cox, of the District Supreme Court,
for the sale of his property. have been ac-
cumulatiDg for the last four years. The
court records on which the order was based
show that on Sept. 10. 1887, General Raum
executed deed of trust for $4,000 on his
family residence on Rhode Island ave-
nue.. About ten months later he
added 5000 more on the same prop
erty. At the end of four months.
Sept 10. 1855, he added another $500.
The next year. Sept. 20. 1890, another $1,000
was added. The deeds of trust were made
to Capt. K. w. Tyler. leading q. A. X.
man, and his partner. and to Carson & Nc
Cartney, the brokers, and several other in
dividuals On Oct 1, 1890. his note was
gwen to Col. A. l.. Conger for S1,07l. and
about a month later Tor $1,000. Colonel
Conger is an Akron, o.. man, o capitalist
and member of the Republican national
committee Last March he took Judgment
against General Raum for the amount of
the two notes. The order of the court yes.
terday cOmpels the sale of the Raum prop
erty to meet the small COneer judgments of
about g.. 600. The deeds of trust are not
due for some time, although the action on
the COnger notes precipitates all the obli-
cations.
1t may be gratifying to some Democratic
hyenas in Congress and elsewhere to learn
that their malicious political attacks upon a
brave Union soldier, q patriot and an hon
est man have resulted in breaking down
his financial credit before the public, and
will result further in the sale of his family

Consents to BE the McCarthyite Candidate
for Parliament in Northern Kilkenny.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
DUBLIN, Oct. 23.-When Mr.. Michael
Davitt arrived in this city to-day from
Queenstown he was driven rapidly to the
headquarters of the Irish National Fedora
tion, where he was received by the leading
members of the McCarthyites now in the
city. prolonged consultation was held,
the result OF which was the announcement
that Mr.. Davitt had consented TO stand for
the northern division OF Kilkenny, the scat
in the House of Commons which was made
vacant by the death of Sir John Pope Hen
messy. In accepting the nomination of his
party. Mr.. Davitt said: "Whatever my
friends may say or believe. scarcely re-
gard myself as fitted 10 prove serviceable
member of the House of Commons.
Nevertheless, L consider it to be
my duty to-. yield to the wishe::
of the parliamentary majority of
the Irish National party. with whom have
been Joined since the recent unhappy crisis
commenced" Mr.. Davitt concluded his
acceptance of the candidature for North
Kilkenny by expressing mis- confidence that
the vast majority of his countrymen in Ire
land will approve the course pursued by
the Irish parliamentary majority under re-
cent trying circumstances, as do their fel-
low-countrymen IN America.
lowers of Mr.. Justin Mccarthy a local but
ter merchant, Mr.. Martin Flaven, was
selected TO contest against Mr. John +. Red-
mond, the Parnelllte candidate for the seat
in Parliament representing Cork city, left
vacant by the death of Charles Stewart
Parnell. The Conservatives have selected
the deputy lieutenant of the county. Cap
tain Sarstield. TO contest Cork city against
John L. Redmond, the Parnellite candidate,
and against the representative of the Me-
CaItbyites. The Conservatives have an
idea that in the heat of the engagement
which will be fought between the contend
ing factions their candidate may slip in
a1d thus carry off tie prize.
Mr.. DavItfs election TO the seat of Sir
John Pope hennessy may possibly raise
question as to whether he will be sdInitted
10 Parliament. No Irish member of Parlia-
ment has ever been in q convict prison, so
far as the public are aware. For this rea-
son Dir. Davitt was rejected in the selection
of the royal commission on labor and il re-
mains TO be seen whether the Tories and
their Liberal Unionist allies will be any
less squeamish when Mr.. Dayitt presents
himself as the member from North Kill
kenny.
