JAPANESE DEVICE.
Experiments with Lacquer on the Huli'
of steel Vessels.


New York. March 1.-Two packages
are ON the way here from Japan, by way
of San Francisco. each of which con-
tainS two steel plates covered with
three coats Of anti-fouling and antl-cor-
rosivc lacquer. IL is the same material
that the Japanese Government has coat
ed itS steel war vessels with for many
wears. and the reports are that the sub
stance has proved more effective than
any other sort OF paint used to protect
The submerged pOr rtiOnS of the huiiS
from corroSiOn and tOuling, ana that
the lacquer coating is durable and re-
mains perfectly smooth and unoroken.
I'm japanese waters, however, the
steel vessels are not subjected to sud
den changes Of heat and cold, as are
ships that pass from the warm waters
of the gulf stream into the frigid waters
of Cane HatteraS and north of there,
nor are they subjected to such sudden
changes as from the waters Of the tropics
to the lev waters of the banks OF New
Foundland,
Several steel plates coated with this
japanese lacquer were suspended from
the bows Of the monitor Nantucket IN
the water at the Navy Yard, several
weeks ago. aud they are TO remain so
submerged about three months, when a
report will be made upon them. They
are examined by experts every few days
who are inclined to believe that the
lacquer possesses many valuable char
acteristics for the protection OF the bot
toms of steel vessels; but it is eNpen-
siye and cannot be purchased elsewh here
than in Japan. On the other hand there
are many officers of the navy who re-
fuse To- believe that any sort OF pant
will protect vessels bottom from foul

PRAISES EMPEROR WILLIAM.
The French Ambassador at Berlin Pours
oil on the Troubled Waters.

PARIS. March 0.-The Steele to-day
published an interview with NJ. Her
bette, the French Ambassador to Berlin,
during the course Of which the AmbaS-
sador said that he thought that the
French artists, in refusing to exhibit at
the Berlin Exhibition. obeyed the or
derS of few bluStorerS. 1t was Hog
zeal for the artists to exhibit a. Munich
and Stuttgart and object To exhibiting
in Berlin.
The ex- Empress visit to Paris was
perhaps imprudent, and was undertaken
without consulting any one. NJ. Her
bette denied having been sounded IN re-
gard To Empress Frederick's journey
saying the French Government was moi
advised Of her intention 10 visit Rari,
until the day before She arrived there
The French Ambassador added that al
though he was no advocate of a Franco
German alliance. thinking such a thing
impossible, he held that every etforl
ought 10 be made to remove the strain
at present existing between the two
& Ountries.
NJ. Herbette warmly praised the En-
peIuT lOI HIS stlohe chai dSt'i dH" q"
domitable will, saying that be was des
tined to achieve great things. In con
clusion the Ambassador condemned
Chauvlnism France as being false patri
otism. which happily. was confined to a
few people, as it was yeritable treason
and calculated to do the greatest harm
The Echo dc Paris to-day announces
that there is redoubled activity at the
military works at Bourges, the Minister
OF War having sent an order to double
the prOdnction of cartridges.

TRIED HIS NEW KNIFE.
4 Drunken Half-Breed Disembowels a
Sleeping Man.

SAN DIEGO, CAL. March GA story
OF horrible crime comes from San
Quentin, Lower California.
On Sunday last, Joseph +. Muir, a
half-breed, found Filepe Sanchez lying
asleep on the sidewalk in front OF sa-
loon. Muir, who was about half drunk,
tried to awaken the sleeping man. Fail
ing, he drew knife and made a motion
to disembowel Sanchez. lie feared the
lob could not be done with dull knife,
for. after feeling the edge OF the blade,
he stepped aside and sharpened it quite
deliberately on a stone. trying IL occu-
Sionally on his fingers, and smiling at
the byStanders, who thought he was
testing.
Muir finally secured the proper edge,
and, kneeling by the side of Sanchez,
plunged the blade in the sleeping mans
abdomen, over against the hip bone.
and turned il upward aS far as the ribs
would allow it 90. lie then nodded to
the Mortified spectators, licked the
blood from the blade on one side and
placed The knife back in the scabbard
by his side. He was seized by those
who witnessed the crime and placed in
custody. Sanchez was alive at the last
accounts.
Referring to his crime Muir says he
was good friend Of Sanchez, but
wanted to try his new knife" He is

SUPREME JUSTICES oUrvOrED.
\ Hig surprise /" the New Jersey Junction
and Penusyl,anit Railroad Case.

NEW NOKk, March GA sensation
was created among Jersey City lawyers,
Yesterday, when it became known that
in an impor ant railroad case before the
New Jersey Court Of Appeals, the lay
Judges had overridden the opinion Of
the Chancellor aud the Supreme Court
Justices who sat with them. IL Is said
To bee the second time in the history Of
the state that this has happened.
The case that gave opportunity for
this freak of justice was that between
the New Jersey Junction Railroad Com
pauy and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
The Junction Railway Company has
line running from the West Shore rail-
road station ut Weehawken Southerly
through Jersey City toward the Stand
ard Oil Company's docks At Constable
Hook. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company became possessed OF the idea
that it's real object was To make con
Meeting link for western traffic between
the New York Central and the Jersey
Central road. aud. with the purpose Of
blocking it's construction the PennSyl-
vania road ran a spur across its project
ed line
The level Of the Pennsylvania road is
two feet above that of the Junction. Ii
was impossible far the Junction road 10
cross at grade, and equally impossible
for il To 90 under without disturbing
the Pennsylvania grade. Commission
ers we're appointed, however To con
demn right of way, but these were
enioined by the Pennsylvania road, aud
ON writ of certiOrari the Supreme Court
sided with the company. The Junction
road appealed to the Court Of Errors,
and the ease was reached for final de-
cision at Trenton on Wednesday, Chan
lcellor McGill, Judge Dixon and Chief
Justice BeaSley were the law end OF the
/ Court. Five of the seven possibly lay
| Judges were on the bench with them.
The law judges unanimously decided
To sustain the rulings, and Chancellor
McGill read the opinion. Then, as a
matter Of form, as they supposed, the
| law Judges put the opinion to vote.
To the surprise and CONSERVATION OF the
law Judges, the five lay judges voted as
unit against the opinion and reversed
/ it, The Pennsylvania road lawyers say
| that this remarkable development OF the
suit but marks the beginning OF the
! fight between the two roads.

The Liberals Disgusted by the Revival of
the Old Scandal.

LONDON, March G.-The Liberals are
disguised and the Tories are delighted
with the revival. by Charles Dixie him
self. of the old scandal rejecting on his
morality.
People were beginning to ignore the
subject. and if Dixie had become can
didate in the Forest Of Dean without al
luding to il, the affair would probably
not have been mentioned by anybody
else. As it is. he has dragged the whole
business to public attention again in his
pamphlet. for no one doubts he is the
author of it.
Dnke's friends say that he is almost a
monomaniac on the subject of the sean
dal which led to his political downfall,
so much so that it is unpleasant to be IN
his company. When everybody is wait
Ing for some utterance on public queS-
tionS from the former Radical leadehhe
will suddenly blurt out an alluSlon to
the scandal. with an ayerment OF his in
nocence and his intention to prove 1t.
When he can be induced 20 talk on
other matters he is interesting, as he
ALWAYS was. but he insists on getting in
the mud. Under the circumstances the
Liberal party, through its leaders
could not endorse him. with the evident
understanding that they were also to
endorse his alleged eXculpation.

,psclqi telegram TO he Register.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Senator In
gals closed his public career with al
act that does little credit to his dignity
or generosity, considering the high sta
tion which he has occupied as a mem
Der OF the Senate. The kanaS Senator
has for long time been Chairman Of
the Committee of the District of Column
bia. The Clerk of the Committee has
been Mr. f. j. Haig. His duties have
been arduOuS, as great deal .ofEdetail
work is thrown on the clerk or this
committee. As Congress will not be in
session during the next nine months,
there will be no work for the
clerk 10 do. 1t would only have
been fair thing for Senator
ingalls, TO have permitted the old
clerk 10 remain on the pay roll fer
the summer interim, but on the last day
of the session and consequently the last
day that he was chairman of the Dis
trict Committee. senator ingalls, re-
moved the Old clerk and appointed his
own SON The work of the committee
/ is all done until next December and
the son of the ex-senator will stay on
the pay rolls of the Senate at six dollars
per day for the next nine months,
through his fathers favoritism.
10 was 4 small piece of business on
the part of Ingalls,, but his mefcenary
nature could not resist the opportunity
To make a grab as the last act Of his
official career as a Senator.
Ingalls, has a distinguished predeceSs-
go. "a. Ill. r..,,,.t Inst "A Fort
seventh Congress adjourned, Speaker
Keifer, retiring from public life,removed
the chief StenOgrapher OF the House and
appointed his own nephew TO the place,
so that the latter could draw the salary
during the summer, when there was
nothing to do. Senator ingalls, act is
all the more inexcuSable and contempt
ible when il is remembered that Senator
Plumb declares that ingalls, is worth in
the neighborhood of half million dol
lars. ingalls, cynicism is not merely In
tellectual. He is a practical cynic, and
while he gives expression TO noble and
beautiful il at times peSSimeStlc views
i'm his speeches, in business affairs he
loves TO make a dollar aS well aS the
most graSping, professional money
getter. In fact, ingalls, takes
sort OF pride in his knack for making
money, and did not deny the accusation
brought against him some time ago that
he made practice OF loaning money at
uSurious rates of interest to Kansas
farmers. He taxes the position that
fine talk is cheap. but that il buffers no
parSuipS.
