caused quite a commotion In naval circles:
He was q very popular ofhcer, ana nau
n large number OF friends in this city.
He was born in Montgomery, Ala, ana
graduated at the Naval Academy In 800
Three wears later, while an ensign at
tached 10 the Constellation. he performed
an act of heroism for which he was de-
corated by Emperor Francis Joseph, OF
Austria Hur gary. While the vessel was
in Il storm near the Azores in December
1879 she sighted the Hungarian park
olivia in great distress. Owing to the
heavy sea it was deemed dangerous TO
send boats TO her assistance. A boat
was lowered, however. to make the at
tempt It swamped at once and the oc-
cupants were rescued with difficulty. The
captain thereupon declined to order any
more boats out.
Ensign Reynolds said he would attempt
TO reach the wreck If he was provided
with q crew. Volunteers were 'ound
without trouble. and after considerable
work q boats crew, WIN ReyHoluS III
charge, was successfully launched and
managed TO reach the Olivia In time TO
rescue the master and her crew OF eleven
men. It took twelve trips, consuming
the entire day. to transfer these men TO
the Constellation. Ensign Reynolds and
his crew received the thanks Of the Aus

Subsequently Ensign Reynolds became

of athletic sports, and was himself one
of the best aii-round athletes in the SER

THE FUSE Still IN DOUBT.
Another Days Experiment Fails to Finally
settle Its Efficiency.

PORT ROYAL, s. c.. Feb. 16.-Another
DAVIS experipents with the Rapieff fuse
has failed to finally settle the question
OF its efficiency. Three projectiles, each
charged with 200 pounds of gun cotton,
were successfully fired from the tubes
Of the Vesuvius. Two of them were
directed at the target line from the 1000
ward buoy, and the third was hurled into
the sadv beach Of st. Philip Island at
Bay Point. While a partial explosion
was produced in the first instance, there
was no detonstion OF any kind In the
third prOjectile.
The Vesuvius and the Wahneta moved
down to the sound at $50 \. NJ. Shortly
after o'clock the board had thirty
pounds Of gun cotton detonated by cleo
tricity at a distance OF 500 yards. Inc
shock was plainly perceptible on board
the Wahneta, stationed third Of mile
from the explosion. The surface indica-
tons of the explosion were decided, but
not very extensive. The first shot was
fired at 1920 O'Clock. The shell fell true
to the lateral of its course. scarcely
twenty yards short Of the target, and its
submersion was almost instantly followed
by n louder report than that previously
obtained from the defamation Of thirty
pounds of gun cotton at the distance or
1900 yards The shock of the explosion
was perceptible TO persons on the Wan
neta's decks. The second proJectile was
fired an hour later, and was watched by
Captains Sicard. Barker and Rapien from
the Wahneta. The shell fell sixty yards
beyond the target, and gave results SINH
lar 10 those which followed its prede-
cessor.
In the afternoon a shot was fired into
the beach to test the impact action Of
the fuse. Observation parties We're sta
toned, as usual. The proiectile was fired
from the port gun at 317. The shell
plunged into the beach, ricOcheted forty

cheted again, and resumed its flight

Of contact The members of the trial
hoard came ashore and made n careful
examination of the fuse. The pin had
sheared correctly, and there were indlca-
lions Of partial action OF the sleeves,
but the springs which held the metal
ball employed in exploding the fulmi-
nate caps we're both broken. There was
no auparent reason why this should nave
hannened. The board was evidently In
doubt as to the cause Of the breakage
Of the springs, and were not prepared 70
say positively that IL was attributable
m any radical defect in the fuse. The
tests will be continued tomorrow.

LYING CfLUlfNIES.
The Mighty "Thunderer" Made to Apollo
giz. To the House of Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 16-Immediately upon
the beginning of business in the House Of
Commons to-day Sir Thomas Esmonde
(Anti-Parnelite) called the attention OF
the House 10 a speech made by Niscount
Wolmer 0iberal GnionisD. The speech
was delivered I'm st. James Hall, ana dur
ing It's course NiscOunt Wolmer declared
that the Irish members of Parliament
subsisted on contributions made by the
Gladstonian caucus. EsmOnde objected 10
such a statement. Viscount Wolmer ad-
mitted that he had gone too far in his
speech. but he said he believed he was
justified in saying that some association
furthering Irish home rule supported the
needy Irish members OF the House.
The speaker said that he was unable
10 interfere in the matter. rs the state
meut 10 which objection was offered had
been made outside Of the House.
Mr.. Sexton stated that the Times had
used assertions Of Viscount Wolmer as
facts. and had seized the chance to hurl
lying calumnies upon the Irish members.
Mr.. Sexton moved that the House de-
clare the article I'm the Times gross
breach of the privileges OF the House.
The speaker suggested to Nfscount VOL
mcr that unless he was prepared with
proof OF his statement he should apollo
gize. Wolmer acted upon the suggestion.
lie CURLY expressed regret for making
the statement and rendered his aoOlogy
therefor. Mr.. Sexton then declared that
the editor Of the Times should be COM
PEELED 20 apologize at the bar of the
House.
At this point Mr.. Gladstone arose and
said that he symp2thized with the feel
ings Of the Irish members. The publi-
cation Of the article In question by the
Times. in which corruption was distinctly
charged, constituted a breach Of Drivi-
leGe.
Nir. Balfour also took part In the dis
cussion. While he made no attempt TO
defend the Times. he advised the House
to avoid Q conflict with the press. Sex
toms motion that the Times be called TO
the bar Of the House TO apologize for the
publication OF the article was then APP
proved The Irish members have de-
cided not to persist I'm their demands
that the editor of the Times appear at
the bar OF the House to apologize for
accusing them of corrupt practices. They
will be satisfied with the publication OF
the apology in the Times.

House. as IL directed against the Irish

CIPRfTT GAINS 4 POINT.
II IL Very Probable Now That the Ger
man Army Bill VIII Pass.

BERLIN, Feb. 16.-ChancelOr Caprivi
scored an important success to-day in
the committee on the Army bill. The
several amendments offered by Herr
Bebel. Herr Bennigsen and Herr Iicket
to the two years service provisions Of the
bin were rejected by the committee. The
belief Is growing that the Government will
succeed in having the measure adopted.
The committee Of the Reichstag on the
Army bill has voted TO reject the two
years service clause Of the Army bill.
The clause was supported only by the
Conservatives and the Imperalists for
the new Conservatives on the committee.
The Liberal and Radical members Of the
committee have desired all along that the
two years service should be obligatory,
instead Of optional with the Government,
as provided in the clause which has been
rejected. Ii is not believed that this
action will affect the confidence OF the
Government in the passage Of the bill
almost in the terms introduced
