The American Torpedo Defence Net.

The American Torpedo Defence Net.
NEwPoT, r. l., Oct, 27.-The only
submarine gun in the world, SO far as
naval authorities are enlightened, was
tried again this afternoon. Elicsson's
destroyer, at the torpedo station, was
warped into position and her bow was
directly on a line with mark on a spar
200 feet off. holding up section of
Midgely wire net, otherwise known in
naval circles as the American torpedo
defense net. This is about double the
strength of the net of same design,
which has just been used on the trial
shots. The new net is supposed to be a
semi cable one. The English govern
m ,nt has a sample made on the same plan,
but will await the result of tests by our
government, as it has not the facilities
for so severe test, having no subma-
rine guns. Both the American and
British nets are int ded to stop torpe-
does, and are not expected to stop pro
jectiles which would put hole through
the hull of the heaviest ironcad atloat.
Today's test was the first of the compar-
alive tests to which the nets are to be
put, at ranges from 200 to GOO feet.
Today only one vertical section was
severed, and only one or two on the sec
ond were parted, while the horizonaI
strands were uninjured, The shot was
good line one, and the naval officers
present were much pleased with it, and
predict favorable results from the net

APPLICATION REFUSED.
A Decided Victory for the Texarkana
& Fort Smith r. r.

The application for receiver, filed
by Bemis ct. al, against the Texarkana
& Fort Smith railway company, was
heard by Judge John l.. Sheppard, in
chambers, at Linden, Texy on Satur-
day, the llth instant The application
was also accompanied by a prayer for
injunction, restraining the stock
holders of the road from holding their
regular stated meeting on the 18th of
this month. Upon examination into
the case, by the court, it was found
that each and every material allega-
ton, contained in plaintiffs petition
had been denied under oath in de-
fendant's answer. This state of the
case being shown to the court, he
promptly refused to grant the relief
prayed for, but at plaintiffs request
continued the matter over as it now
stands, without predjudice to either
party, until the 9th of this month, in
order that plaintiffs might have time
to produce evidence disproving the
facts set forth in defendants answer
In the mean time the Texarkana q
TT. Smith road, will proceed right
along in the even tenor of its way
and the meeting of its stockholders
will be held as called. We congratu-
late the ownership Of the road upon
the victory gained and sincerely trust
that no other obstacle of any kind
whatsoever, will be thrown in their
way, in the extension and ultimate
completion of the line, both north and
south, to the proposed terminal points
of the road. We are inclined to
believe that this decision of Judge
Sheppard's practically puts an end to
the present litigation and it is to be
sincerely hoped that none other will
arise to impede the progress of so
great and henefcent an enterprise as
the building of the Texarkana ~
Ft. Smith road promises to be, to the
entire country through which its
preliminary lines have been surveyed.

oLEvELAND's MISTAKE.

There now seems to be little doubt
as to Judge Walter @. Gresham's hav-
ing been called into Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet, TO take the foremost position
notwithstanding of State.
In the selection of Judge Gresham
TO this most responsible position Mr..
Cleveland has committed most lam
entable mistake-at least that is the
way itnow appears. An able, true
blue Democrat well deserving OF the
place, could just as easily been called
instead.
II is true Gresham voted for Cleve-
land, but he still declared his allie
glance to the Republican party, and
he has never yet announced himself
as Democrat. II is likewise true
that Gresham is an able, conscientious
statesman, possessing the confidence
of the people.
True Democrats look upon Gresh-
ans going into the cabinet with re-
gret, not TO say contempt, because he
is not Democrat, and because there
are many Democrats able to take the
place said to have been given to him
"a Republican.
We sincerely trust that the next
Senate, which will be Democratic,
will refuse to confirm Gresham's APP
pointment as Secretary of State, if
really given him.
"To the victors belong the spoils;n
only good Democrats should be recog-
nized by the incoming administration.
