THE execution of two poachers in Eng
land, as the result of the fatal termination
of their struggle with game-keepers, is likely
once more to prove that the surest way to
cause the repeal of obnoxious laws is to en-
force them.s Secretary Matthews, by refus-
ing to exercise his power OF pardon, has un-

tion of the game laws

THE accounts of brutal treatment at tbe
Huntingdon Refornatory, given by the boys
recently released, are such as to demand a
thorough investigation. Such treatment is
best calculated to either kill the boys or
crush any good there may be in them, and
turn out confirmed criminals.

CONSIDERABLE astonishment has been
in which the Marquis de Mores was the

IT would strike an impartial observer
that leading society women could raise
money for charities by little self-denial a
good deal more easily than by masquerading
as itinerant musicians, shoe blacks, or pop
corn merchants. But in Michigan they
prefer the entertainment and excitement Of
obtaining money from other folk.

municipal authorities.

the public alike. 1t is the interest of the
politicians which has to be consulted in
such matters.

CHICAGO, March H.-Intormation was re-

to-day from the Northwest that the Indians
are again interested in the Messiah craze,
because of the expected return of Short
Bull and the dozen other Sioux chiefs who
arrived at New York after sojourning with

Short Bull was the reputed prophet OF tho
Messiah, and being very ugly Indian, 1t Is

THE willy Chinaman has discovered that
he can become citizen of Mexico with
very little trouble, and by doing SO he will
probably seek to enter our country, no
longer as an Oriental but as a Mexican.
This discovery is likely to give us a good
deal OF trouble. The only pleasant feature
of the matter is the compliment conveyed
to our Institutions by the amount of trouble
to which some folk will put themselves in
order to become beneficiaries thereof.

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-03-18

SECRETARY TRACY would like to see the
building of one or two battle ships author
lied, and especially ten torpedo boats and o
few small gunbcats OF from 800 to 1000 tons
each. The torpedo boats would not cost
more than 100000 each, or 81, ,000, 600 in all,
and the gunboats would not cost more than
$500, Oc0 each. The torpedo boats, the Secre-
tary believes, could be built ut q variety of
points along the Mississippi river and its
tributaries. and some of them could be built
on the lakes if the treaty with Great Britain
permitted. He thinks the distribution OF
the building of three boats among different
American manufacturers would be bene-
tcial to the iron and steel industries, and
would encourage study of the shipbuilding
art at the leading ports on the coast and on
the rivers. A boat apiece. he thinks, might
perhaps be assigned to Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis and Dubuque.
SENATOR PLArT to-day introduced a
joint resolution for the appointment of q
commissioner from the District of Columbia
to act with commissioners appointed by the
several States, to secure uniformity Of the
laws of marriage and divorce, insolvency,

American Bar Association.

erll Miller, talking to a gentleman who
had asked him if it was true that the De-
partment OF Justice was so earnest after the
Chicago beef combine that the members
have found it necessary or expedient to
burn their books. 1--WE are endeavoring to
execute the antitrust law, and wherever O
concern is found that offers investigation
it is pursued to the best OF our ability. As
soon as the bill became law l sent a circu-
lar letter to all United States District Attor-
neys, calling attention to its provisions and

In the matter of the application of the
State of California for the certifcation OF
certain lands i'll the vicinity OF Lake TuIare
as swamp land, the Secretary of the Interior
to-day denied the application, holding that
at the date of the swamp land grant, in 1850,
the lands in question formed part of the
bed OF the Lakeland hence were not included
in the lands granted. He holds, further, that
while the Surveyor General had been made
the tribunal to determine what lands were
swamp at the date OF the grant, his jurisdic-
tion was confined to lands that actually ex-
listed as such at the date of the grant, and
therefore his approval of the plats of survey
in this case cali nave no binding force on the
department..

Detecting Flaws I'm Metal.

Engineering tells that new instrument
called the schisiophone has been invented
the object of which is to reveal the pres
ence and the place of any blow holes, flaws
cracks, or other defects which may exist
in the interior of piece of metal. When
these defects are very great, the blow of
hammer on the piece of metal soon betra
their presence, but for small blow hol
although these may also be very dang
Gus, there is not enough difference in
sound given by the hammer striking
piece of metal for it to be detected by t
ear The schisiophone, however, will Ell
able that difference to be heard. The ap
paratus consists mainly of a pin which
runs through a microphone of a special
construction and of an electric battery.
When the pin strikes on good part of the
metal tried, sound is produced, the vi
brations of ich affect the electric cur
rent in ain way, and then certain
sound can heard in the telephone at
tached to strument. When the pin
strikes on a 1t of the metal where there
is defect, the sound produced is different;
the micropbone, the current and the tele-
phone are then affected differently, and
the defect existing in the metal is revealed
by the difference in the sound heard at the
telephone.

in England, where the lord high aI1noner,

distributes the royal aims from the steps
of Whitechapel. From the basket in which
these are held the old Saxon word maund,
meaning a basket, comes the name Maun-

| The introduction of smokeless powder
! has had considerable to do with change
of tactics on the field Of battle. In the
absence of the smoke screen ON both
sides, the company officers not only find
( it easier to work together, but can con-
troll their men and judge the effect of
their fire on the enemy TO a far greater
degree than was formerly possible. From
their point of view this increased power
Of control more than compensates the
attack for the increased facility Of con-
cealment smokeless powder canfers on
the defense. II is true that the latter
also profits by the same increased power
