Fast Torpedo Boats.

The famous torpedo boatbuilder Gt
Elbing, Schichau, has just attained IN
unprecedented speed even for this class
of vessel, torpedo boats built by him
for the Russian and Italian governments
having reached 274 knots on an hours
run at sea. The new British boats are
to be 200 tons displacement, while the
Russian boats are 100 tons, so that the
former may do better by reason of great
er power and greater size. The length
of Schichau's boat is l52 feet 9 inches,
the beam IL feet 5 inches. She may car
ry 40 tons of coal in her bunkers. On
trial, however, she had only 20 tons On
board. The small guns carried weighed
81 tons; the torpedo armament, 9 tons;
the crew, provisions, stores and firearms,
A tons; drinking water. 81 tons; engine
and boatswain's stores and resolve parts,
44 tons: so that all the movable parts
come to 90 tons. making, with coal. 40
tons.
The vessel and the machinery are
therefore very light. The shell plates
are barely q quarter of an inch thick.
There are two locomotive boilers, pro
tected by the coal bunkers, supplying
steam at 195 pounds pressure to high
speed engines. The guaranteed speed
was to be 28a knots in the open sea,
while on trial the vessel actually made
27}, or, to be precise. 27.4 knots, as a
mean of n hours steaming at sea.
Schichau promises even higher results

ing.-Steamship.

charities. It is also engaged in the dis
semination of knowledge concerning the
unfavorable conditions under which vast
numbers of the people live, owing to un-
wholesome dwellings, defective working
accommodation, irregular and i'll paid
labor, the competition Of immigrants,
the harshness of the poor law, unjust
t; ltion, adulteration of food, poor edu-
cational facilities and other grave disad-
vantages.
The idea of the union was firit con.

ers of all convictions i'm one organization
and get them to work together more
good could be effected than by the sepa-
rate efforts Of individuals or small CO
teries. If the organization holds togeth-
er, it would not be surprising If it ulti-
mately secured the simplifcation of the
present complex, cumbersome govern
ment of the English metropolis. At any
rate, it is making great efforts in that
direction.
Mr.. Mann is almost entirely self edu.
Gated. He was born in the Coventry
colliery district in 1855 and had very
little schooling. At Q years Of age he
was at work on a farm and at 10 went
down in the mines. At IA he was ap-
prenticed to a toolmaker in Birming-
ham and at 81 went to London. He
used to be a religious devotee and admits
having been somewhat fanatical on the
subjects of temperance and vegetarian
ism. At Is he read Ruskin and Herbert
Spencer and says it then dawned upon
him that social reform was more of an
economic than a moral problem, and he
went neck and heels into the socialist
agitation.
He was not in full accord with his So
cialist comrades, however, as he was a
firm advocate OF the benefits OF trades
unionism and a persistent agitator for
an eight hour law, both of which move
ments were sneered at by prominent So
cialists as mere makeshifts. Now he ad-
vocates a graduated income tax, discs.

Cheaper to Bui,d a New, Road.

The Pennsylvania railroad proposes TO
shorten the distance between this city
and New York by constructing a cutoff
IS miles in length from New Brunswick
to a point ON the outskirts of Jersey City.
The line was laid ont three or four years
ago, and charters were procured cover
ing the route. and last week a license
was taken out for the construction of q
bridge yer the Passaic river. The route
is almost a direct line and will avoid the
cities of Railway, Elizabeth and Newark.
It will be used exclusively by express
trains, an improved local service being
established for the convenience Of trav-
elers to and from the cities mentioned.
The advantage of the new line consists
not 80 much In the shortening of the dis
lance. but in the fact that through travel
will not be interfered with by local
trains or municipal restrictions as to the
rate of speed in city limits. An enormous
number of local passenger trains are run
between Jersey City and Railway. and a
great many run through to New Bruins
wick. Although the road is 4-tracked
all the distance the facilities are not ade-
quate, and as it would cost a large sum
to put in two more tracks it has been
decided to- build an entirely new road for
rs miles. When this cutoff ia completed
it will be possible to reduce the running
time half an iour. Philadelphia In.

SENATOR HILLS HOME.

met changed the plan every time he saw
the structure while in process of growth,
putting out q wing here and setting in a
gable or dormer window there till the
builder in charge was distracted. The
builder has always been ashamed to tell
what it did cost. but the lowest sum
named by experts is $125 900. The
grounds are arranged quite as f~ancifully
rs the residence, and yet the general eff
feet is fine.
In front Mr.. Emmett had a little lake
constructed. fed by a brook which runs
from an adjacent ~ravine, and on this he
placed a gondola imported from Venice
regardless of expense. At the entrance
Of the grounds is q lodge in the English
style. To the right of the house Ia a
stately windmill, and to the rear is O fine
barn of a composite architecture fairly
~rivaling that Of the house. Having fixed
all this and several other things of an
eccentric nature, Mr.. Emmett died, and
his widow offered the place to Governor
Hill at a price which experts told him
was a bargain. He bought it and EN-
ployed Isaac G.. Perry, commissioner of
the Albany capitol, to draw up plans for
~renovating and altering the house to suit
more modest tastes.
As it now is, it is to be the home of
Governor Hill so long as he is United
States senator and possibly much long
CT. He was born Aug. 29,> 1643, and is
therefore just completing his fftieth
year. AS he has a very firm constitu-
ton, is a nj of extraordinary temper
ate habits and does not allow politics or
business to seriously rattle" him, the
chances are that the Hill home will be a
political Mecca for many and many a
year, far into the twentieth century per-
hape. The Van Rensselaers constructed
q fine boulevard along the ridge, and the
residence stands about 500 feet west of
this, with a fine macadamiZed road lead
ing mp to it. Interiorly the house abounds
In three cornered rooms and other EN-
met oddities, but is a delightful place to
live in for all that.
The new residence which Senator Fas-
sett is building is a much less dazzling
affair, but has one great advantage over
Governor Hills, in that 1t will hold a
charming wife and daughter and a squad
Of lively and growing boys. The estate
comprises 30 acres Of the Chemung val
ley just north of Elmira, in which there
10 little hill, and on that the new resi-
derce stands. 1t will be a large build
tng-1OO by 100 feet in the clear outline
and somewhat in the colonial style. The
First story is of white Ohio limestone,
rough faced; the second and third of
brick and shingles, and all the verandas
will be Is feet wide.

Best square. to the left of which is a

Pacific Coast Steamship company. He

his 30 years Of residence In the state has
incidentally gained a knowledge Of sew.
sral other things that may prove Of adj
vantage In his new position.
Senator Perkins is a native of Kenne-
~bunkport, Me-, and was born "a years
ago, but he is still in the robust prime Of
q healthy life, alert, active and attentive
to his business. He Is q good ready
speaker and has long been prominent in
the councils of the Republican party of
his state, which elected him governor in
1879 after a very hard campaign fght
with the Denis Kearney contingent, who
christened him ''Pinafore" Perkins.
The senator comes from q seagoing
family and took TO the water when he
was IL years old, running away from
home to go to sea. He went to Cali
fornia as a sailor In 1855, and like q great
many others left his vessel to try the
mines. Then he tried farming and
bookkeeping and built two Touring
mills, which he ran for several years.
He was in the state senate for six years,
during four years Of which he was q
member Of the finance committee. II
was while he was in the Legislature that
he entered the firm Of Gooda!l, Nelson
3 Perkins, which subsequently became
Goodall, Perkins d Co., and then or
ganixed the Pacific Coast Steamship
company, which now has q fleet Of 80
vessels and practically controls the Alas

RIVAL POLITICIANS.
HOW THEY PASS THEIR HOURS OF
EASE IN SUMNER.

David Bennett Hin and Jacob sloat Fas-
sett Have Elegant Country Homes-Mr.
Hills Mansion Was Esallt by Fritz EN-
met and Has AN Interesting History.
Hon. David Bennett Hill and Hon.
Jacob Sloat Fassett are Elmjrans and
life.oag rivals in city, county and state
politics. There the rivalry ends for the
present. for Mr.. Hill took a sudden rise
and went away ahead Of Mr.. Fassett.
The latter ran for governor on the ebb
tide of Republicanism III New York and
* returned to private life, while the
former ran on the food tide of Democ-
racy and became in rapid succession
lieutenant governor, governor and Unit
ed States senator. Their rivalry began
In Elmira and ended, for the present at
least, in Albany.
Despite their long rivalry at Elmira
and Albany they are good friends, with
very similar tastes for rural life, as both
have shown recently by securing coun-
try homes of great beauty. Mr.. Hills
home has a history. Several years ago
the eccentric actor, Joseph K. Emmet,
''Our Fritz" in one of his summer ram
bles was struck with the commanding
situation and. rural beauty of a spot on
the ridge which runs along the west
side of the Hudson from Albany to Troy.
He bought IA acres and proceeded to
build a residence after his own heart.
Being the product and the exclusive
product of Emmet's brain, it is not nee
essary to add that the design is unique.
