of the Navy.
A contract has been signed by Secretary
Herbert with the John p. Holland Torpedo
Beat Company for tie construction OF a
submarine torpedo boat for the use OF the
navy. This contract, which may mark
radical departure in naval construction,w was
signed only after a thorough consideration

been examined. The appropriation for a
submarine torpedo boat was made over
two years ago. The dimensions of the YES
sci contracted for are to be: Length, 50
feet; diameter, IL feet; displacement Uotal
when submerged), 1857 tons. All parts of
the vessel and the steel to be used in her
construction are to be of domestic manu-
facture. She Is to be completed within
twelve months from date under time PEN
alties. The contract calls for a speed Of
fifteen knots when the boat is in light con-
dtion, fourteen knots when in the awash
condition, with a minimum endurance If
twelve hours at these speeds, and of eight
knots when completely submerged, with a
minimum endurance of six hours. The
Secretary of the Navy may refuse to ac-
cept the boat il 1t on trial falls one and a
half knots an hour below the speeds
named. or accept her at reduced price.
The price to be paid for the boat is fixed al
$ljO,OOO, to be paid for in five equal INSTALL

JAPAN EXPRESSES REGRET.
Her Honor furnished by the Assault
on LII Hung Chang,

The New York Herald Shanghai corre-
spondent sends a translation of an imper-
iai rescript published in a special issue Of
the Japanese Official Gazette in connection
with the attempt upon the life of Ii Hung
Chang, which says:
China is now in a state of war with our
country, but she has, with due observance
of the forms of International etiquette,
sent an ambassador for the conclusion of
peace. We. on our part, named our pleni-
potentiaries, who were instructed to meet
him and negotiate at Simonoseki. Thus ii
was incumbent upon us, in pursuance with
International usage, TO afford the ambassa-
dor treatment consistent with the national
honor and to accord him a suitable escort
Tor his protection.
I'VE consequently gave orders to all
functionaries to use the utmost diligence,
and 1t is. therefore, with profound grief
that We now have to express our regret
that ruffian should have dared to inf1ict
personal injury upon the Chinese ambassa-
dor. The culprit must receive the severest
punishment provided by law. Our official
subjects must respect our wishes to pre-
serve the gicry of this country untarnish-
ed, and must provide against the recur-
renee Of such violence
The rescript is signed by the emperor
and countersigned by his ministers.
Profound indignation prevails through
out Japan at the outrage upon Ii Hung
Chang, aud the vernacular press are unan-
imous in their expression of the deepest
regrets.
Surgeons Sato and Ishiguro are attending
Ii Hung Chang by imperial command. He
objects to the extraction of the bullet.
which lies centimeter under his left eye.
The wound is three centimeters deep. He
sleeps well. The Empress of Japan has
sent two nurses to attend him. Letters and
kilograms expressing regret and sympathy
are pouring in from all directions.
1t was stated at the japanese legation
diSnafch
been received from Japan indicating that
the wound of Ii Hung Chang was more
serious than first reported. 1t was said
that nothing further than the dispatch
n.ade public last evening, giving an official
account of the shooting of Ii, had been re-
ceived

Nearly a Riot Mt Memphis.

Ex-Priest Slattery lectured at tho Audi
torium in Memphis Monday night for the
second time within a week. On the occasion
of his first appearance no notice was
taken of him by the leading Catholic peo-
pie in the city and there was no trouble
whatever. Monday night, however. the meet
ing came near ending in a serious dis
turbance, and but for the ex-priest's hur-
ried exit from the city while the excitement
was at its height, he might have encoun-
tered rather severe treatment. A crowd
filled the auditorium, and while 1t was evil
dent that many present did not sym
pathize with Slattery's utterances. there
was no sign of disorder until near the close
of the lecture. when a man i'm the center
of tine house arose and excitedly shouted.
You're a liar. You're a liar against re-
ligion.'
Half the audience were on their feet In
an instant, but before the disturber could
say anything more he was grabbed by an
officer and elected. After order was re-
stored Slattery concluded his remarks with
out further interruption.

guilty of a wrong to another and then
stubbornly persist in maintaining it, even
by silence, discloses one Of the most des-
picable traits Of human nature. A great
editor of great journal should have too
exalted a conception of his position to
consciously submit to the existence of such
unenviable conditions for one brief day.
To have carried the keen edge of good
heartedness in it and proved itself worthy
of enthusiastic compliment, this retraction
should have been prompt and fervid. 1T

An Intentional injury to the good repute

BURNED AS A WITCH.
Inqufring Into n Brutal Murder in
Ireland.

A most extraordinary case of murder
arising from superstition is being inquired
into by the special court of Clonmel, Ire
land. Ten persons were arraigned before
the court charged with numbering a wo-
man named Cleary, because they supposed
her to be witch. The prisoners include
the murdered woman's husband and ia
Their. The evidence showed that Mrs.
Cleary was suffering from nervousness and
bronchitis. and her husband, believing her
to be bewitched, and in order to exercise
the evil spirit, obtained a concoction from
an herbaiist CT the neighborhood. Then,
while the other prisoners held the unfor-
tunate woman in bed her husband forced
the obnoxious connection of herbs down
her throat. After this the suffering woman
was held over fire and dreadfully burned
until she declared in the name of God that
she was not Cleary's wife. This torture
was repeated on the following day, but
the woman refused to conform to her hus-
bands requests, whereupon he knocked her
down, stripped off her clothing, poured
paraffin over her body, then lighted it, and
the woman burned to death in the presence
of six male and two female relatives.
Clearly declared that he was not burning
his wife, but that he was burning witch,
and that she would disappear up the Chin
ney.
collected her charred remains in a sheet
and buried them in a dyke, beneath the
mud, where they were found a week later.
The prisoners. who We're remanded. mar
rowly escaped lynching at the hands of the
excited crowd in and about the court room
and had to be removed to jail under the
escort Of a strong force of constabulary.

CHILD INSURANCE.

Legislation to Prevent 1t Proposed in
Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts, legislature Is consider
ing bill to suppress child insurance. In
a committee hearing last week Mrs. Lucy
P. Atwood, agent OF the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said:
'I wanted to have a fair understanding
of the methods of the companies, and I
went to a superintendent of one company
to find out how many children they have
insured in Massa chusetts. but could get no
figures. Then went to see the officers Of
another, and was received very courteous
ly. and my questions answered. They told
me, in substance, that they had policies
out on 900 children under ten years Of
age, and that 1t would paralyze the COM
pany to give up this form of insurance.
ut is notorious that the ignorant and
poverty stricken people OF the slums will lie
to visitors in regard to the insurance ard it
is difficult, in many cases, to find out whether
insurance is carried on or not until after a
death and funeral. Case after case is help
ed by the charitable in these Slums where
the children are found to be insured. This
insurance has bad moral effect both upon
parents and children. Children of tender
age are obliged to earn money to pay for
the insurance which will be used for their
burial expenses"
The witness stated that in four months
in the summer of 1893 24S children died in
Boston Of marasmus, which means starva-
ton She lad no doubt that in very
large number of these cases the children
were insured.
