THE STEAM TURBINE.
1t May Be Used to PrOpel Torpedo
BOnts and Launches.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-In view Of
the successful results that have followed
the use of the steam turbine as a motive
power for dynamos, it Is probable that be-
fore long an attempt will be made to SUBJ
stitute them for the engines used to propel
small naval craft, such as torpedo boats
and launches. For some time past this
novel form OF motor has been used In the
navy to spin the gyroscopic wheels that
propel the Howell torpedo, as they afford
the only feasible means of obtaining the
great velocity required. but their use has
been very much restricted, owing to the
belief they were wasteful contrivances. Re
Gently, however. certain Improvements have
been made, notably in the use OF super
heated steam, which cannot be used in or
dianry engines, and the result has been the
attainment OF a surprisingly high degree
OF enconomy, making these engines rank
with the best OF the reciprocating type.
The one practical difficulty in the adapta-
ton of the steam turbine to boat propul-
sion is the necessarily high speed of ex-
listing types, being about 5000 revolutions
per minute. This will oblige the engineers
to use reducing gearing To secure a proper
speed for the screw propellers. Otherwise
of advantage ever reciprocating engines,
as II Is light occupies very little space and
that altogether in the bottom of the boat,
Is very simple in construction, almost with
out wear and is noissleSs. These are all
valuable considerations in a torpedo beat,
and especially the ease OF running, as the
excessive vibration of the present type of
engines is very injurious to them and TO
the hulls OF the boat, and necessitates fire.
Quent and extensive repairs.

Must Return to Russia.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-An interest
ing alien contract labor case was to-day de-
cided by Commissioner Stump. of the I'm
migration Bureau. 1t appears that Carl
Fischer. a Russian subject. thirty-ive years
old, arrived in the port of New York on
Feb. 20 last, and was barred a landing by
the board of special inquiry as a contract
laborer. 1t is admitted that Fischer was
an assisted immigrant, his brother-in-law,
a pantaloon maker in Philadelphia, hav-
ing paid his passage money and gave him
work on arrival. In view of his being an
assisted immigrant In addition TO there hav-
ing evidently been an understanding that
Fischer was TO work for the brother-in-
law. the commissioner holds that he comes
within the prohibition Of the statutes. and.
therefore, directs that he be deported to
the country from whence he came at the
expense of the steamship company bringing
him to the United States.

REVENUE STATISTICS.
Probability that the Deficit VIII BE
Less Than Estimated.


WASHINGTON, March 1O.-There are
rood reasons for the belief that the de-
dciency In the revenues OF the government
for the present fiscal year will fall con-
siderably below Mr.. Carlisle's estimates. In
his statement before the House judiciary
committee on Jan. % the Secretary ex-
pressed the opinion that the deficit for the
year would be SIS. 600. 600 or $79. GOO, OJ0, but
the conditions have changed somewhat since
then. and IL is now the opinion of experts,
who base their estimates on the best data
obtainable. that the deficiency will be found
not to exceed s70,OO0.OOO. This conclu-
sion is reached independent of any
Increase in the receipts from inter
nal revenue incident to a probable
Increase in the duties, in the liquor, to-
baeco and other schedules of the pending
tarln Dill. The closest and most careful
eStlInate or the receipts from customs
places the amount at the close of the year
at OF which $92, 657. I'D had al
ready been realized March l. II is ex-
pected that until the new tariff bill becomes
a law there viii not be any considerable
impOrtatlOnS, except 10 supply current
needs. Merchants during the last year. and
particularly during the last six months, IL
Is argued, have been pursuing u very eau
tious policy as TO purchases abroad. and,
as a consequence, their stocks OF goods
have ben reduced 10 a very low point. As
Stunning that this conservative policy will be
continued and that customs receipts viii

Ing months OF the year, the aggregate
would probably still reach Sl35. 100000.

STRAY DOGS AND CATS
Law for Their Treatment Enacted
by New YOrk's Legislature.
The American Society for Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals to Have Sole
Charge of the Question.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The bill which
was prepared by Mr.. John p. Haines. presi-
dent OF the American Society for the Pre-
vention. of Cruelty TO Animals, introduced
In the Legislature on Feb. 5, by Mr.. Sulzer,
ex-Speaker of the House, and signed to-
day by Governor Flower will revolutionize
in the future, the question of the treat
ment of dogs and cats who are lost, strayec
or homeless. Under the new act the whole
matter of the stray dogs and their taxation
and disposition in cases where the tax i'm
posed has not been paid. is taken entirely
out of the hands Of the city and placed into
those of the American Society for Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals. Provision
is made for the licensing Of the animals
the same as has been done in the past.
Dogs will wear a collar about their neck
with a metal tag attached bearing the num-
Der Of the license and the initials "A. 5.
p. C.. A., New York" The new scheme
a ahi2ed includes fn Msar the c eats; b beaEing VIII the 0s name me
and residence of their owners, else they Will
be subject to the same treatment as the
dogs.
This is the first thing of the sort ever
tried In this country, and is. therefore, a
complete innovation. 1t is the purpose OF
act to establish in the northern part OF this
city a home for strayed, lost and homeless
animals in order that they may be. when
seized. suitably sheltered and cared Tor
Owners may redeem them within forty
eight hours after they are seized. In the
case of valuable or good class of animals
they will be kept a longer time, and when
the animals are worthless and valueless
1t is the purpose of the society to dispose
of them in a humane manner. The method
will be by administering gas, and If the
board of health does not arrange for the
final disposition of the carcasses they will
be cremated on the premises. The first pur-
n0Qa ia RI nrntpOt the animals and the sec
ond is for the protection of the owners and
the rights of the latter to their property.

Stocks I'm rme Hands as Report

WASHINGTON. March 10.-The statis-
teal returns Of the Department Of Agri-
culture for March consist principally Of esti-
mates of the distribution Of wheat and corn,
the amounts remaining In farmers hands,
the proportion of merchantable corn and the
average prices Of both the merchantable
and understandable. The report Is based
upon returns of a corps of correspondents
In each county Of several States and Terri
tories. and also by an Independent corps
equal in number reporting to the statis-
tician through the State agents OF the de-
partment. All grain In the hands of farm
ers. including the surplus of previous years,
Is embraced In the given
The returns OF correspondents OF the de
plus States Indicate q new factor In the con-
sumption OF wheat, viz: the feeding Of the
same to hogs and other stock, a fact due,
as declared. to the unprcedentedly low
prices. the clrim TENS made that his
mode C dISPCslnS CT the cereal is profta-
bic as compared with marketing it for hui
man food. The returns also indicate that
a very considerable proportion of the wheat
now in the farmers hands comes from
from the crops of 1922. Such stocks have
been held principally by large rowers
so4le damage to such stores is reported
from Michigan and Washington.
The indicated stock of wheat in farmers
hands is 114,000. 900 bushels, or 2S.S per cent.
OF the volume of the crop of 1893. This is
nearly q 900 less than the estimate Cor
March l last year, and nearly %, 00.Q go
bushels less than the average of the past
eight years. The amount remaining in farm
ers' hands in the twelve principal wheat
growing States Is about $1,000, 900 bushels
or 63.S per cent, of the amount in pro-
ducers' hands in the country at large. The
average weight of the crop of 1893 per
measured bushel. as calculated from CORE
spondents and millers and State agents,
IS BIS pounds, making the estimated prod
uct a little over 381, 5)0,W0 commercial BUSH
els, against 306,0O0.0O0 measured bushels, as
heretofore reported.
The corn in producers hands,, as esti-
mated, aggregates 539. 000,0 900 bushels, or 1854
per cent. of the crop of 1893. This proportion
Is less than for any year in the past five
years, except that of 1891. The aggregate
or corn in farmers hands in the surplus
States OF Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska is Gil per
cent Of that in farmers hands in the en-
tire country, being In quantity, $50, 000. 600
bushels. The proportion of merchantable
corn Is $50 per cent. Of a present average
value of 349 cents per bushel. The un-
m~erchantable averages 1922 cents per bushel.
The official and commercial estimates Of
the worlds wheat crop for 1893 makes 1t
80, 100000 less than last year. The final esti-
mate will probably still further reduce the
total for 1893, as the preliminary estimates
for Russia and Germany are generally re-
duced by final estimates.

GAINESVILLE, o., March 1O.-Since the
Hooking Valley miners agreed to accept so
cents for mining, $50 miners at Camel
vile struck for reduction of house rent.
Yesterday, five men, two of whom were
Price and Conway, gave in and went to
work. The strikers held a meeting and
started on a hunt for tia five deserters.
Conway was the only one who could be
found and the strikers were SO wrought up
that a rope was produced and there were
threats of stringing the man up. Conway
begged for his life, knelt on the ground
and prayed, and finally was allowed TO go,
when he promised to leave town. The
other deserters have disappeared and none
was working to-day.

MAX BLACKBURN MURDERED.
Prominent Young Man of Paris Found
with His Head Crushed.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PARIS, Ill, March 10.-Max Blackburn, q
young man twenty-five years old, was
found dead this morning. near the Big Four
railroad tracks, east of this city. The gen.
eral belief is that he was murdered, as the
head is all crushed, and bears no evidence
of injuries inflicted by a train. The pre-
sumption is that he was going to the home
of his brother. east of town, when he met
his death. His father and other brother re-
side in town. He had recently become a
member of the Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea and was insured by them for 5000, and
carried $1,000 in Michigan Mutual. He was
the second son Of Alex. Blackburn, and was
one of the promising young men Of the
town. He had no bad habits. The town was
overrun with tramps last night, and a large
number of suspicious-looking characters
are under arrest awaiting developments at
the coroneris inquest.
Detective McMillen, of this city, last night
received Information that a fireman and
brakeman employed by the Big Four rail-
way had been arrested for the crime. The
men left Terre Haute Friday night on a
hand car and did not return until yesterday
morning. They were Suspected Of the
crime, and the fact that they acted pecu-
liarly yesterday caused the officers at Terre
Haute to believe they were guilty.
