TO REALIZE VERNEs DREAM.
A Baltimore Inventors Plan for q
Submarine Vessel.


BALTIMORE, Oct. II, 1S94.-A Balti-
more inventor hopes to make real the
imaginary voyage of Jules Verne's boat,
the Nautilus, under the sea.
After years of study and experiment,
Mr.. Simon Lake has invented sub
marine boat which he claims is capable
of accomplishing what Verne suggested
might be possible. Indeed, if Mr.. Lakes
invention is a success, the French TO-
mancer will have only have anticipated
what the coming submarine boat will be
capable of.
Mr.. Lake makes the following state
''The boat is capable of being sub
merg to any desired depth and again
raised to the surface at the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of being pro-
PEELED when on the surface, or when
submerged or when on the bottom of
the water, if required. Many of the
operations in raising vessels and re-
moving cargoes can be performed from
it without going outside of it,
1.-THE boat can be fitted out as tor
pedo boat and can then readily destroy
deets of the largest ironclads.
''The crew can live in it as comfort
ably for days at time as when on shore,
on by night as we'll as day and as easily
in storm as in calm.
ssThe vessel will prove invaluable in
las,ing foundations for piers, bridges,
docks, light houses, breakwaters, and
locks for canals 1t will also be OF
use in removing distractions, such as
rock or shingle, from entrances to har-
bors, all the drilling operations being
accomplished by power in an ordinary
atmosphere"

SAM DICKINSON DENOUNCED.
A Fellow Republican Scores Him for
Hitting Major Peloubet.

The Excelsior Republican Club held
its regular weekly meeting last night in
it's headquarters at Baldwin and New
ark avenues. THE meeting was ad-
dressed by George NJ Patterson of the
Five Corners Republican Club, Mr.. Pat,
terson'S speech twas chiefly aimed
against ex-Postmaster Dickinson, and he
spared no words in giving his opinion
of the Little Boss. The ground for his
attack was the charge which is made
that Colonel Dickinson struck Major
Peloubet at the recent meeting of the
Tof1Aey Association. Referring to- Col
Dickinson, Mr.. Patterson said:-
81 hope Col. Dickinson viii never
cease praying to God for forgiveness
for insulting the aged Major. l don't
doubE but what Mr.. Dickinson feels
more sad today than the Major, and
If the Colonel had not been in highly
excited state at the time, know he
would never have hit him.
''I know that that affair is not going
to Go the Republican party any good in
this county, and 1 hope it will do us
no HARM
Mr.. Patterson then advised, the Re
publicans TO stand firm, as the Demo-
Gratis were working hard. and would
give the Republicans hard fight

LIBERAL ARGENTINA.
Tariff Rates to Be Reduced and
Trade Developed Effect Of
Free Wool.

WASHINGTON, Oct II, 1S94.-The
Congress of Argentina, following the ex-
ample of the United States. is now con-
sidering bill looking to a material re-
duction of customs duties. Such bill
has been already reported from COM
mittee. 1t is designed principally to
affect the higher rates on foreign inn
portations. Reductions amounting to-
25 per cent. are made in some cases
and much lower in others. The aver
age reduction, however, will be Is per
cent. Included in these are the duties
on number of articles of American
manufacture, particularly agricultural
implements. Pine lumber and kerosene
are also among the articles to be Dene-
fitted by the proposed new rate
Senor Seballos, the Minister from Ar.
gentina to the United States, says that
the drift of sentiment among the people
of his country is in the direction OF
freer trade relations with the other
nations of the world. The same senti-
ment, it will be remembered. was re-
Gently made by Mr. Muruaga, the Span
ish Minister to this country, as being
true also of the Spanish Ministry and
however, well represented in the Argen-
tina Congress, and until some action
is taken upon the bill, it will be diff
cult to forecast its fate. The presump-
tion is that the present tariff law of the
Republic will be lowered to some ex-
tent at least
Whatever is the fate of the bill as a
whole it is believed by Senor Seballos
that Is per cent. reduction will be
made on American agricultural lmple-
ments, American kerosene and pine
lumber. The expectations OF agricul-
tural implements from this country to
Argentina amounted, during the first
seven months of this year, to nearly
5000, 900 more than to all the other coun-
tries of the world. The annual eXporta-
tons of pine lumber ito to e. da0 dre
900. Upon the theory that the consum-
er pays the tax" the people of Argen-
tina who purchase these articles are
naturally desirous of lowering the duty
believes, that such a bill will pass:
The free wool clause of the tariff bill,
recently enacted by the American Con-
gress, will. Senior Seballos thinks, not
Argentina and the United states, but it
will stimulate the price of wool in the
markets of the world. The United
States, he argues, being in future a
competitor for the wool of Argentina,
this will naturally result in a wider mar
ket and this will be followed by higher
prices not only for the Argentina pro-
duet, but for that of the United States
as well.
Senor Seballos claims that under the
new law he can purchase the finer
grades of wooden suitingS in Washington
as cheaply as in Paris, where the we'll
dessed men of Buenos Ayres and the
Republic of Argentina generally pur-
chase their wearing apparel Hereto
fore, our woolen goods have been shut
out OF the Argentina market by reason
of the greater cost of production, put
all this will be changed in the future,
those products will speedily grow up be-
tween the two countries.

MODERN GUN SHOTS. !
Small Bullets More Humane
Than Large Ones, Though
Quite as Effective.

WASHINGTON, Oct. II, 1894.-Lieut.
Lincoln Harmony of the United States
Marine Corps, who enjoys the reputation
of being the highest American authority
on the subject of small arms. in his re-
port to the naval intelligence office,
shows the terrible destructiveness of the
new small calibre rifle Of the navy,
with it's nickle coated bullet of 235 inch
diameter, driven by smokeless powder.
In recent experiments on cadayers TO
examine its effects on bones and tis-
sues of the human body and that OF
horses, the results were resolved into
two groups, viz: those from so to 300
yards and those from 300 to 1000 yards.
The first group comprises those injuries
which, when a bone is struck, resemble
in appearance those of an explosive
character; the part is always pounded,
fragments are frequently carried out
through the wound of exit, which IS
fee; the muscles are pulped, and, In
fact, the limb mangled and damaged
A HUMANE BULLET.
If the bullet simply passes through
muscle it practically creates no dam
age of any Importance unless 1t strikes
an artery, which, large or small, Is
cut as with knife, causing hemorrhage;
let the blood vessels or nerves stand
a better chance of escape than they
did with the larger bullet. If savage
were hit in the fleshy part of the thigh
with the small calibre bullet it could
not be expected to have any stopping
effect on him unless the main artery
of the limb was opened and even IN
this condition he could travel some little
distance before falling; but let that man
be hit on any of the long bones of the
leg and his progress is at an end. On
the other hand, if he were hit in the
upper extremity (speaking OF sayage)
there would probably be nothing to stop
him in q smashed shoulder or pulped
elbow, because, like the horse, he ap-
parently does not suffer from shock,
and he still has the use of pair OF
legs and an upper extremity; or II ne
were shot through the chest by a bull
let no larger than pencil, 1T goes clean
through him, touches, we VIII say
mains a. dangerous man for some time
to come.
AIM Low!
In savage rushes the lower extremi-
ties should be the chief target aimed
at; no man can travel with one of the
bones of his legs in fragments. In deal.
ing with a civilized foe the shock or
simple flesh wound would prooaoiy pc
enough for most men, and afford them
a good excuse for leaving the hghtins
line and certainly non-fatal wounds IN
the chest would cause a gap in the
ranks. The question or shock is tnere
infinitely more urgent than the wound.
In considering the nature of the in
iuries inflicted on bones at distances
between 800 and 1000 yards, it is clear
that they have g. tendency to resolve
themselves into d) comminuted fractures
and pulverizing of the resisting parts
of bones, and ~ comparatively clean
holes in the non-resisting regions, such
as the extremities of the bones; 1t Is
evident that a wound near a joint may
be much less dangerous than one some
distance from it, which is in reality a
surgical paradox.

DIsAVOWs THE OBSERVER"
Mayor Pagan Thinks 1t should Have
Let MIR. Record Alone.

Mayor Pagan of Hoboken made the
following statement to News" re-
porter this morning.
"My attention has been directed to
an editorial in The News in which
it is charged that if I did not inspire
the attack on Mr. Record in the OBJ
server 1 am responsible for it. The
'News' declares that the attack comes
with very bad grace from me. Unques-
tionably There is no earthly reason
why l should assail Mr.. Record, direct
ly or indirectly, and I desire to state
that I neither inspired nor knew of the
observer article rejecting on him.
Il wish to add that the policy of that
paper, no matter what may be said
to the contrary, is not controlled, in
spired or in any way directed by me-
am not responsible for what 1t may
print or what it may fail to print; nor
do I care to be. Life is troublesome
enough as it IS.
Il have yet to see an editorial of that
paper before it is printed, and if the
editor, while writing them, takes me or
my wishes into account, he has failed
to accuaint me with the fact. In this
particular case, had I been consulted,
would most assuredly have suggested
the advisability of leaving Mr.. Record
alone.''

horse asleep through the window of
his stable and make a faint noise to
