STABILITY OF OUR CRUISERS.
The Proposed Method of Remedying Amy
Topheaviness in the Detroit Glass

The statement that the StabilityBoard
ment the retention of the eight 5-inch
guns of the Detroit, tie Montgomery
and the Mar blehead. instead of substitute
ing 4-inch pieces, as has been proposed,
is gratifying in several ways.
Most important, of course, is the con-
sideration that the lighting efficiency of
these vessels will not be impaired as
much as would have been the case with
such a reduction of their battery power.
1t is true that some reduction of the
original armament has been found neces-
sary to insure stability, namely, the SUBJ
stitution Of two 5-inch guns for the two
6-inch which were to have been carried
But it is gain to find that this change,
with the removal of the heavy ramrod
coming tower, and possibly the short.
ening of the spars, will guard the vessels
from any danger of being top heavy un-
der any circumstances.
When the alarm was started in regard
to the crankiness of the three 1900 ton
ners, there had been much discussion of
the seaworthiess of certain British and
French armored vessels. 1t was natural
and proper that the condition of our new
war ships in that particular should be
watched, and that the determination
should have been reached to run no
| risks with them. The result of this
view and of certain reports in regard to
| the trials of the 1000 tonners was the
| appointment of Board on Stability, of
which Rear Admiral Walker was Presi-
dent. The report of this Board was ad-
verse to the stability of of these vessels
and also to that of the 1,05O-ton gun
boats Machias and Castlne To the lat
ter was applied the heroic remedy OF cut
ting them in two amidships and length
ening them, and this process is going
on. For the 1000 tonners various reme-
dies had been suggested, one being tine
reduction of ordinance weights aud an
other the laying of certain number OF
tons of dead weight near the keel.
! These various propositions brought out
a controversy as to how the fault in
calculation originated. The Ordnance
Bureau not only objected to decrease
of the fighting power of the ships, but
| felt that there would be an injustice in
applying the remedy there instead OF
to those parts Of the vessel which were
| planned by other bureaus When the
question arose that the plan at first

Senator Sherman's speech in the Sen

because it seems to indicate that he will
support the sugar schedule OF the amend

tablishing the beet sugar industry and
protecting the cane sugar producers OF
louisiana" said the Senator, Il would
cheerfully vote for a duty of from one
to two cents pound upon all sugar inn
ported" This, while not exactly equiva-
lent to statement that he will vote for
the sugar schedule of the Senate bill.
points strongly in that direction. The
hope of defeating that schedule,
and with it tina whole bill, has been
predicated upon the expectation that all
the Republican Senators would vote
against it. If Sherman's vote is for ii
there is slight chance of defeating it,
even if all the Populists should vote
against it.

Secretary Carlisle's testim ony before
the Senate committee is substantial
confirmation of the allegation of the
newspaper correspondent that he fur
pished the finance committee with a
schedule of sugar duties which he
thought should be adopted. The exact
allegation of the correspondent was that
a memorandum prepared by Secretary
Carlisle was in possession of the finance
committee. The members of the COM
mittee were able to deny this on the
rather technical ground that the memoir
andum was not then in the possession of
the committee. But Carlisle admits he did
indicate to the committee what he
thought the duties should be. There
was of course nothing necessarily wrong
about the Secretary's giving his views
on this point. Indeed it may have
been very proper proceeding. It all
depends upon the motive. If the sched-
ule was suggested in behalf of the sugar
trust-and that was, we believe, the
intimation of the correspondent-the
Secretary was doing something that was
highly improper. Bnt there seems TO be
10 evidence of that.

A theory prevalent not many years ago
was that sewer gas was the vehicle that
conveyed the germs of great many
of the worst diseases that aff1ict man
kind. Like a good many other theories,
it seems to have been founded on very
insufficient facts and has failed to stand
the test of experience, and now some
Of the most distinguished physicians of
the land have come to the conclusion
that instead Of conveying many diseases
sewer gas conveys very few. The de-
cline of the sewer gas theory was
strikingly shown by paper read
the other day by DIR. A. jacob
before the Congress of physicians
in session at Washington. The subject
Of DR.. Jacobs paper was "The Effect Of
Sewer Gas in the Production of Diseas-
es." DR.. jacob said he had asked doz
en- European medical men and dozens oil
American what they knew of the prodnc.
ton of a specific germ disease out of, OIL
through, sewer air, and the uniform
answer had been, There is a general
vague impression amongst the public
but never saw n case or could prove
one" He went on to say that fewer
specific disease germs could be found
in sewers than in the air of houses
and schoolrooms. The moist surfaces
of sewers tended to retain diseases germs
and the putrefaction that went on il
sewers tended to destroy them. H.
thought that more germs were found il

The scale expired in June and this was
one of the points on which the strike was
bitterly fought. The company claimed
that IL suited better to have the expiration
near the end of the year, when the con-
tracts for tho next year We're being

One proviso Of the scale was that either
side was bound to give the other three

with by posting the notice before Oct. l..
When the scale was signed last year there
was u big reduction in the wages of the
tonnage men ps well as other employees of
the company. 1t ranged from 10 to 80 per
cent. and created u great deal of dissatis-
faction among the men. The turns We're
also changed. Men who had been working
on eight hour turns were placed on twelve
hour turn, for the same ard in some in

fore they reached the surface. The men
were without ligh andfood for fifty-four
hours. They procured water from II min

TOLEDO, Oct 1-Train No. 40 on the

a small town twelve miles south of this
city. The wreck happened shortly before
o'clock in the morning and was the re-
suit of well laid plan to wreck the entire
train. Happily, albeit miraculously, the
heavy Pullmans kepr on the track and the
mail and baggage ears, although badly
wrecked, did not contain any victims.
The only one killed was f. n. Smith, the
fatally injured Was A. H. Day, fireman,
of Toledo. The slightly injured are:
Charles Holland, mail clerk, Toledo,

conceived the plot, to occur at the west
end of a long siding, just beyond the Maui
NEE station. The rail at the lower part of
the switch target had been removed and
the switch was partly thrown. The target
indicated clear track, and Engineer
Smith was probably not aware of the stu
alton an instant before his motor was
humping along on the ties. AS soon as
the train struck the switch it lcaped into
che air, fell toward the ditch and turned
completely over. The trucks of the mail
ears followed the engine. but the cars
themselves Went in an opposite direction.
Under them We're found later the dead
body of Engineer Smith, and Fireman
Day suffering from fracture of the skull,
which will prove fatal.

ued at S20O. .Oo0. was distributed among his
heirs, the superior court declaring him le-
gally dead. His presence on the scene
will make void all the proceedings against

the doctor took charge of his first wife's
separate property in 1862 and used it, not
rs his own, but as agent and trustee for
his first wits and her two daughters by u
former husband.
The stepdaughter sued Tynan's execu-
tor for the total value of the estate and
appealed to the supreme court from the
decision giving "a share to the second wife.
AS soon AS the doctor is legally declared
alive the stepdaughters will renew their
suit, and the entire contest will be fought
