CAN'T SEE ANYTHING GREEN.

A Little Boat of Emerald Hue Fooled the
Cruiser and Monitor Too.
A report is about to be sent to the
navy department regarding certain ex-
periments which have been conducted
in this harbor during the summer under
the auspices of the torpedo station to
determine upon measures to be en-
ployed by torpedo boats to escape detec-
ton with searchlights The Cushing
has been the boat in use, and much
progress has been made. The torpedo
boat at no time used both her boilers
in steaming about, and consequently did
not run as fast as she might.
She was tried painted in several col
ors, but was discovered untila dull green
hue was used. Then she ran into the har-
Dor before the powerful searchlights Of
the cruiser San Francisco and monitor
Miantonomoh as well as the big light at
the station could detect her. She got
within few feet of each of the war ves-
sells, and in fine position to do great
damage with her torpedoes.
On last Monday night the Gushing en-
tered the harbor, and although both YES
sells were looking for her she passed COM
pletely around the island on which is the
torpedo station twice without being de-
tected. These experiments are said to
be more successful than any carried on
in the same line by any nation.
The green appears to be the proper
color for torpedo boats. In the glare of
the searchlight it is quite like water. At
times it resembles the moss grown rocks.

A compromise measure that is very
likely to be introduced in the form of
bill, and one it is claimed that will
meet with the support of all factions
and receive the presidents approval,
is in substance as follows: 1t pro-
vides for the repeal of the Sherman
law, but postpones the date upon
which it is to take effect until some
time in 1895. A provision is also
to be made for the retirement of the
treasury notes below IS or $40, the
purchase of 100000 ounces of silver
per month made mandatory, and the
seniorage of $54, 10000 now on hand
is to be coined. The total addition
to the silver circulation by the pro-
posed measure will be about $780,
100000. In addition, it is intinated,
the bill will provide for the issue of
$200O00,000 3 per cent. 5-year gold
bonds, which shall be used only to
strengthen the gold reserve, and not
for banking purposes.

A Cherokee strip Romance.

Yesterday Joseph K. Bracken of Mem
phis and Miss Lille McGlashin of Still
water, O. T., came to this city and were
married by the probate judge. The
young lady had secured fine claim
near Perry in the Cherokee strip, and
the Judge told her that if she got mar
ried she would probably lose the claim.
She laughingly replied that she would
sooner have man than claim any day,
and the ceremony proceeded. It after
ward came out that the couple first met
on the day of the strip opening, when he
stopped to help her drive couple of
sooners off the claim she had staked. He
then went on, but because of the delay
failed to get claim, and finally returned
to claim the girl he left behind him.
After they had been married they re-
turned to Perry, and the happy groom
at once filed contest on the claim taken
by his bride, SO if the department does
decide that she cannot hold it he will
get it, and it will still be in the family.

Lord Dunraven.

am somewhat surprised that writers
in our contemporaries speak of Lord Dun
raven as if he were stranger on this
side the water. He has been here twice
before, besides touring westward among
the Rockies, and his book entitled the
"Great Divide" was among the most in
telligent contributions to contemporaries
Gus photography ever published. AS l
recall it, he first came here in 1870, when
he was known by his courtesy title, Lord
Adair, and again in 1876 as Lord Dun
raven. His seat in the peers is under
another title, that of an English baron,
his title of earl being Irish. Lord Dun
raven explored Canada and Newfound-
land on sporting tours thoroughly. He
was in the last Gladstonean ministry
and altogether is considerably more
than a simple yachtsman. Joe Howard.

WOMEN VOTERS IN MICHIGAN.
Constltutionality of the Female sufrag
Act to Be Tested In the Courts.

| COnstitutionality of the Female Suffrage
Act to Be Tested In the Courts.
The last Michigan state legislature
passed law providing that in all school,
village and city elections hereafter held
in this state women who are able to read
the constitution of the state of Michigan
shall be allowed to vote, and all laws of
this state prescribing the qualifications
Of voters at such school, village and city
elections, shall apply to women.
1t seems little strange that the leg1s-
lature should have passed the bill in
this form, in view of the fact that the
state laws already permit every person
| of the age of 81 years who has property
liable to assessment for school taxes,
and who has resided in the district three
months preceding any school meeting,
to vote at school elections on all ques-
lions except those involving the raising
of money by tax. It is proposed to have
the constitutionality Of the act of 1898
tested by the state supreme court, the
case coming up from Detroit. If the
court decides against the act, would the
right which women already possess of
voting at school elections be taken away?
The state constitution says specifically
that Sin all elections every male citi
zen, every male inhabitant in the state
on the oath day of June, 1885, every
male inhabitant residing in the state
Jan. 1, 1850, who, etc., shall be an cleo
tor and entitled to vote"
The language Of the act Of 1898 is
plainly that Gin all school, village and
city elections" women shall be allowed
to vote. If then the court construes the
constitution strictly it cannot do other
wise than decide against the act, which
decision may have the effect of depriv-
ing the women of the right to vote at
school elections, which right they pos
sess under the act of May, 1881. The
court might decide, however, that no
existing right can be taken away by
mere implication. The decision in this
important case is awaited with interest.

That there would be more than the
usual number of railroad accidents
this season, owing to the enormous
Worlds fair traffic, was anticipated,
but that accident on accident and
horror upon horror should be of daily
occurrence, was not thought possible.
With all possible safeguards, modern
appliances, improved equipments and
experienced management, yet acct
dents and disasters that should be
preventible, are of such frequent oc-
currence, and attended with such
awful loss of life, that it seems as if
there must be criminal negligence
and gross Encouragement on the
part of employees and officials. That
the enormous traffic necessitated ex-
ira trains and c:owded tracks, the
railroad officials had ample time to
make careful provision for, and must
of course have foreseen. That en-
ployes should be overworked, they
ought to have guarded against and
used all means to prevent. But it
really seems as if ordinary prepare
tons and precautions were as a rule
not made, and the only reason why
they were not adopted was through
greedy avarice in attempting to do
the vast amount of extra work with
as little outlay as possible. The ap-
palling horrors of the past few weeks,
whereby scores of lives have been sac
rifced, are more the result Of crimi-
nal neglect, Encouragement and
murderous carelessness than of un-
avoidable accident, and justice de-
mands that those responsible directly
or indirectly be made to suffer the
severest penalties. It is not the over
worked and undergrad trainmen who
should be, and usually are, held ac-
countable, but it is the high officials
who should be made responsible. If
the grasping and avaricious managers
who recklessly hazard the lives of
passengers by their greedy parsimony,
were made answerable and account
able for every life lost on their lines
to the extent Of individual prosecu-
ton, there would be less defective
machinery, unsafe tracks, overcrowd-
ed lines, overworked employees, gener-
al carelessness and incompetency,
and fewer railroad murders.

Gently had files of the latest daily

they are nuisance and annoyance,

Suing a Sultan.

Miss Jenny Mighell of Brighton, Eng
land, is suing the sultan of Johore for
breach of promise. The sultan's attor-
ney objected that his client, being a rul-
ing monarch, could not be sued in Eng
land, but Miss Mighell's lawyer replied
that, inasmuch as the defendant had
lived in England privately as Mr.. Albert
Baker, he had disentitled himself sufi-
GENTLY to be sued in England, and that,
moreover, he was subject to the authority
of the empress of India. The question
will be argued next month. London

THE LATEST TELEPHONE.

Successful Attempt to Connect an Anchor
ed Vessel With the Shore.
The lighthouse board has been sue
cessful in it's experiments for establish
ing electric communication with light
| ships and lighthouses anchored at dis
| lance of more than mile from shore.
This will attract the greatest interest in
maritime circles all over the world. The
board has been conducting these expert
ments for several years. Nothing can
be learned at the treasury department as
| to who invented the plan, which has met
with success. However, the obstacles
which have prevented connecting by
electric cable a vessel swinging at an
Choir at sea with the land have been over
come by attaching the core of the cable
| to the anchor chain and making a con-
ductor of the latter. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the leakage Of electricity
produced by the water can be reduced
to minimum. Officials Of the treasury
department have recently talked by tel
ephone with persons on board a light
ship anchored over mile from shore,
with the anchor chain used to complete
the circuit.
The establishing of electric communi-
cation with lightships will result in the
saving of many thousands Of dollars an
nually to maritime interests. Passing
vessels can easily and quickly be COM
municated with in cases of emergency,
and ships in distress will frequently be
reported to life saving stations in time
to dispatch relief vessels to save them.
The lightship most distant from the shore
is at the Nantucket shoals. 1t is some
80 miles from shore, and the dangers of
this locality have caused it to become
known as the graveyard of American
shipping" The lighthouse board is graft
fed at the prospect of establishing cleo
tric communication with this lightship.

In discussing silver as proper and
suitable money medium under pres
ent circumstances and laws, the Cred
it Review contains an article from
Wylie G. Burns that is very readable
and instructive in view of the present
agitation for the repeal of the Sher-
man law. He says silver has been
diseredited because silver dollar
has never contained dollars worth
of silver, and that one of the strongest
objections urged against our silver
currency is, it has never possessed a
stability of bullion value, and its de-
clining value is accounted for by the
simple fact that the supply from the
silver mines of the world greatly ex-
ceeds the demand. Only about sixty
five millions of coined silver are in
circulation, and the treasury officials,
he declares, have never been able to
get more than this amount off their
hands except by means of silver GER
tifcates. Still it is not going to put
silver in circulation to make a silver
dollar contain dollars worth of
silver, for the bullion price of silver
has fallen SO low that the dollar
would be too large to keep in circula-
ton. The closing paragraph is di-
rectly to the point; he says; "There
are dangers which would arise from
any attempt to drop silver from our
currency which would be as serious
as to retain it under the present con-
ditions. The demand of the business
world is for sound money, and moth
ing short of that will be acceptable.
The problem for our national legis-
lators to solve is, how can sound
money be secured, at the same time
retaining silver in our currencyp
