INSIDE WATERWAYS FOR DE-
TENSE.

The torpedo boats has recently scored
an important success. 1t has been found
to be the very craft that has been needed
for inland protection. The Cushing. a
torpedo boat, was the first war vessel that
ever passed through the Chesapeake ca
nal and made the inland passage by way
of the Delaware River and the Renton
canal to New York, making the trip all
the way by inland waters from Washing
ton. This performance has excited great
deal of public interest. This small war
vessel has draft of eight feet, while the
least water in the cana is nine feet. The
Delaware River and the Renton are links
in the chain of waterway. But if one
small war vessel can go from Washington
to New York all the way by inland nayi-
CATION. then fleet of small and effective
war vessels could make the same passage,
But the demOnstra ton will probably not
end there. From New York there is the
inland water of Long Island Sound. If
the projected canal were cut across Cane
Cod there would be an entrance into Buzz
Yard Bay, so that practically a small war
yes ell starting north from Washington
could reach Boston nearly all the way nv
inland navigation.
From Norfolk south there is the Able
marie and Chesapeake canal, and also The
Dismal Swamp canal, which reach the
inland waters of North Carolina. The
three sounds along that coast-Curriuck.
Albemarle and Pamlico-extend for the
whole width of that State. Then there
would be break in the connection for a
short distance. Then the sounds and in
land waters of South Carolina and Georgia
would be reached. There is also n consid
cradle stretch of inland water along the
coast of Florida. If the contemplated
canal were cut across that peninsula these
small war vessels would find their way
into the Gulf of Mexico and would skirt
the coast to the mouth of the Mississippi
and beyond.
These are the possibilities that now
enlist more than usual public interest.
The long coast line has never been fully
protected by Notifications. These are now
Of less importance than ever before. Tho
new theory is that the small war vessel
gunboat and torpedc-boat will range all
The inland waters from Florida to Maine.
and will be more effective for coast de-
Tense than all the Notifications that have
been erected for the defense of harbors
and cities. Short canals may vet be con-
stTucted To connect one waterway with
another in order to make this plan of de-
Tense more complete. The passage of the
Cushing from Washington TO New York
all the way by inland waters is probably
the pioneer of the new tset that will at no
distant day occupy these inland waters,

was required on charge Of abstracting
property to the amount of $50, 600 simply
to secure the bank-wrecker while other
charges were being Investigated. So far
as the animation that Judge Hebbard is
trying to make capital is concerned, it
marks, if true, wide departure from the
ordinary judicial course. If Judge can
make capital by a construction of law
which viii bring Offenders 20 the bar Of

How the Berkeley Ferry
Was Run.
Charges Made by the Engineers
Union-t1ow Tom Kelly Saved
His Pipe-Marine Notes.

John Bragg OF the Marine Engineers Union
will file complaint Today against r. +. Thomp-
son, manager of the ferry-bOat Mare Island,
which plies between this city aud Berkeley.
Bragg claims that on Monday last he Mare
Island made a trip to San Francisco with an
unlicensed engineer In charge of her engines.
On that day Piper, Alden & Co. commenced TO
run an opposition steamer, the Hope. ana Mr..
Bragg THINKS that MT. Thompson got ratified at
the prospect of competition and forgot 20 ask
whether his new engineer had license not.
Section 4463 of the Marine Statues is quoted
by Bragg in support of his complaint. He says
that the boat had no right 10 leave Berkeley
without licensed engineer Oh board.
The reason why'the new ferry-bOat SausalitO
did not slide gracefully OF the ways on Saturday
night was that the ways had been creased
with patenL fabrication that hardened like
glue, sticking the cradle fast TO the slides. The
vessel moved only about thirty-siX inches when

SUFFOCATED BY GAS.
Accidental Death of Ex-Assenb,v
man Joseph w. Iou-da


Joseph w. JOurden, who in 1874 representad
the Eleventh District IN the State AssamhI,'
was found dead in his room at 500 grvant
street at $50 o'clock yesterday morning. He
had been sutfocated by breathing tlluminatino
gas.
Jourden, who was about so years old. was
employed as guard at The Midwinter Fair
He had lived for many years at 500 BRYANT
street and was regarded as a member OF the
family. Mrs. Towles, the i2ndlady, was PASSING
The door when she smelled gas, and looking in
saw JouTden half dressed lying on the floor
beneath a gas fixture. With a neighbours as
SlStance the door was broken open and an ex-
animation Of the body revealed that JOurden
had been dead for some time. Gas was flowing
from the burDer, ana near the body was a
chair that had been upset.
1t was apparent that upon retiring Jourden
had turned of the gas, and without being con-
sciouS OF the fact turned 1t on again. He had
arisen in a lalf-suffocated state 10 shut off the
flow, and had fallen unconscious to the floor.
Jourden had been foreman of engine 10. He
was bachelor aud had several relatives In this
city.

common that 1t takes as much influence to

young people that they will not work

WOOL DID NOT ROOT.

The New York Sun is pretty mad at the
departure OF Congress from the Chicago
platform in the matter of the tariff. but
not too wrOth to see straight. In a recent
article it said:
The outcome OF the Louisiana sugar conven-
ton signifies thar when 1t comes 10 protection
Tor the cane planters there Is about the same
difference between Louisiana Democrat and
a Louisiana Republican that there is between
two razor-back hogs; they both root for every
thing they can get.
Sugar rooted and got what 1t asked for !;
wool did not root and did not get anything.
In Democratic Congress the homely
adage. Root, hog. or die" is shown to be
the guiding star of legislation. Sugar had
somebody to root for 1t, but wool had no
one. Our Senator White was not in a
roofing mood at the time.
