STEEL HULL PROTECTION,
The NaVy Department Investigating the
Virtues Of LaCQueFS for Ships Paint.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-With the adon-
ton Of steel in naval architecture has come
the problem of protecting vessels hull
from the corrosive action of sea water.
The Navy Department recently received
from Mr.. Hotta, lacquer manufactur-
er Of Toxic, two plates, iron ana
steel respectively, each four feet square
and covered with three coats of anti
corrosive and three coats of anti
touliDg lacquers. These plates have been
submerged IN tide water at the New York
Navy-yard where they will remain for threa
months. Lieutenant MurdOck of the navy.
Whlle on the ASiatic Station, interviewed
H0tta, and inspected several vessels of the
japanese Navy at the dOck-yard The re-
suit OF his inquiries regarding LACQUER as
shlp,s paint have evidently made him an en-
thusiaSuc believer in the benefit of LACQUER.
he Japanese navy has met with success in
huilS, which Is an interesting fact in con-
slderatlon of the difficulty expert
enced Iii the Pacific Ocean in keep
ing ships bottom free from
marine growth. MurdOck visited a vessel
at okQsuka whose hull had not been
cleaned for nine months. He found that the
lacquer was perfectly smooth and unbroken
and had afforded complete protection to the
metal. 1t Is estimated that the cost Of
lacquerlng vessel in this country would
be $500, against $500 (according to Muir
d9ck) Tor painting ship during the period
OF three years the time that lacquer is sup
posed to retain its influence. The results
on the submersed plates at New York are
awaited with interest, as likely to present
an economical solution Of the problem Of
protection to steel huilS.

charge the State s8 per day for salary while
engaged in anything but law making.
Many OF them are back, and there Is a pros
pect of big batch of bills tomorrow.
The recent scourge of diphtheria in San
Francisco has caused bill to be prepared
providing that all undertakers shall disin-
1ect the bodies of those that have died of
any contagious disease. One family of
three children contracted the disease by
Kissing. One of the city's undertake
ers Is now here in behalf of the
Dill. He says that it is a good measure.
In family OF three, he says, the children
contracted the disease by kissing the face
OF dead brother. 1t is feared however
that the bill will be opposed by the county
Funeral Directors on the grounds of
expense.
1t is reported tonight that reform ballot

new YORK SENATOR.
Hill Holding Out His Hand for National
HOlOrS.

ALBANY, Jan. 1S.-Speaker Sheehan's
announcement that Governor Hill will ac =
cept the office of United States Senator if
elected to that place caused but little sur
prise in Albany to-day. Few politicians here
doubt but that Hill had decided to elect
himself Senator upon election night last fall,
as soon as he discerned that the Democrats
would have a majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. Weeds friends will probably
acquissce in Hills decision. Hill, however,
still poses as man not seeking
tho Senatorship, and declines to say
whether Speaker Sheehan was authorized
to make so important a statement.
If beth Assemblyman Guenther and As
semblyman Nolan are detained away by
sickness, the Democrats and Republicans
viii! both have ~ votes IN joint convention.
But reports from Buffalo indicate that
GuenthCr will probably be here tu-mOrrow.
The election OF Hill rs Senator, therefore,
may depend upon the vote of Assem-
blyman Demarest, who stands accused
OF forgery and embezzement. A prom
lnent Republican will tomorrow offer
a resolution in the Assembly for the
expulsion of Demarest The Demo-
Gratis will then disclose the fact whether or
not they have any moral repulsion to such
man. Demarest came here last night, and
despite the fact that he has made restitution
to the steamboat company he is alleged to
nave dCAl"'uAVls uS utCldltS Ildi llt Is luUO-
cent, and says:
Il may resign my seat but if do | shall
appeal TO the people of Rockland County
and announce myself as candidate for AS
stmblyman. This IS case Of political per
secuiIOn, and | predict that l shall have
double the majority l had the last time
that / ran" The general belief here is
that Hui will cling to the Govemorship
until December, even if there should be a
special session of Congress.
NEW York, Jan. 1S.-In a published let
ter eX-Judge Noah Davis points out the
duty OF Governor Hill in the case of Assem-
olyman Demarest He quotes a constit-
uoaal provision requiring the Governor to
see thdt the laws are faithfully executed.
and shows that unless the officials Of Rock
land County DO their duty the Governor is
bound to remove them. As regards the out
rage Of confessed criminal taking part in
legislation or the election of a United States
Senator, the Governor has ample power to
prevent this by handing the fellow over to
the Sheriff.
