The French squadron, he says, consist

made an excellent and impressive show

the boats crews excited general admira-
ton. But the ships, especially the hide
GUS ironclad Hoche, flagship of the French
squadron, are unfavorably criticised.
All of the French vessels carry so much
top hamper that in the event of the lat
ter being shot away during an action
it would fall on and disable the guns be-
meath. A German officer, commenting on
the French squadron, said that both the
French ships and the French people were
n trifle exaggerated and extravaganza.
The Russian ships have the same, de-
feet of too much top hamper, although IN

The French ironclads left the harbor at
8 o'clock this morning and the German
ships. which took part today, put to sea

visitors are leaving here on their return
to their homes. the many special trains
leaving the different railroad stations

The officers and men attached to the

their visit. They have been most favora-

HuRRAH FOR AUSTIN
q; TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR BOND ISSUE VOTED.
THE VOTE STOOD 1919 FOR AND
ONLY lis AGAINST.
The Citizens Are Certainly to be Con
gratulatedi on the Outcome OF
Yesterdays Election Which
Means Everything to Austin.

Austin did herself proud yesterday in
voting an additional issue of S2OO,OOO
worth of bonds to complete her water
and light system. AT no time since the
ordinance ordering the election was
passed by the city council has there been
any doubt of the passage of the bonds,
but it was not until The Stateman came
out hat-footed in advocacy of the measure
that the people felt sure that the vote
would be overwhelmingly in favor of the
issue. And so it proved. When the polls
were closed last evening and all the re-
turns sent in it was ascertained that the
bond issue had carried by a vote of 1919
for and only a measiy 115 against it.
Thus it will be seen that Notwithstanding
all the trials and viciSsitudes of the past
five years the anti-dam men with all
their cries of wolf have only added 90
. weak and forlorn individuals TO their
original number of so. The noble dam

81 less than the vote cast in 1890 when
$1,4OO,0O0 worth of bonds were voted and
this decrease can be readily ex

are out of town for the summer. The
vote of yesterday demonstrated beyond
the peradventure of doubt the fact tina
the citizens of Austin are the most Loyal
and most progressive people on the face
of the earth. They are determined that
nothing should be thrown in the way of
the success of our great enterprise and
they spoke that determination in their
ballots yesterday with that emphasis that
dafies successful contradiction or inter
= ference. Once again have we expressed
our faith in our mayor and the city
council as well as the men who have

offered for the presence of the 115 moss

The voting of the 100000 worth OF
bonds yesterday settles that Austin's
future will be a glorious one. With the
completion of our water and light system
we will have everything we want tc

we can throw our gates open to the entire

THE COMMITTEE AT WORK.

At a meeting Of the AUSTIN District
Medical society last week Drs. Cummings
Mclaughlin and Wooten were appointed
as an Investigating committee to see
to what extent sickness was prevailing
in the city and as to whether said sick
ness was due, as is charged by some, to
the use of the river water from the city's
system at the dam. This committee will
report at the next regular meeting of the
society next month, but in conversation
Cummings stated that the committee
had already made good progress and had
found very few cases of fever: That the
case of typhoid fever reported was from
family using the old water company
service and that all the cases of sickness
in town was in the main in families who

carrying everything before him. 1t look
ed as though his reelection was a fore
gone conclusion, and it probably would
have proven such had Mr.. Carlisle kept
out of the state. That, however, caused
veritable revolution of feeling and
though the speeches he made were few
in number, they struck home with
strength that was indeed convincing. The
work that Mr. Carlisle has done can not
be too highly commended and he will
most certainly be rewarded by the people
of Kentucky whose idol he is, politically
speaking. 1t will be recalled that before
the secretary made his opening speech at
COvington he stated positively that he
was not then and would not be candi-
date for the senatorship but it remains
to be seen whether or not he will be allow
ed to retire to the practice of his profess
sion on leaving Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet.
Since he entered public life he has never
sought an office which he has failed to
reach and in fact several times positions
have been forced upon him in violation
of repeated refusals. At the present time
aside from Senator Blackburn, who
in the downfall of the silver
ISSUE is practically out OF
the race, there are three other candidates.
They are the present governor John
Young Brown, Representative McCreary
and Ex-Governor Buckner. All of these
gentlemen have for some time been
troubled with the senatorial bee and each
has a following of staunch friends. Hence
it may be banked on that with Carllsie
out of the running there will be pretty
fight in the legislature next fall. In the
event, however, that should Mr.. Carlisle
signify his willingness to accept he would
win in a walk.
AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT,
Secretary Herbert has authorized the or
dinance bureau of the navy department
to make a practical ballistic test of an
armor plate mounted on an backing rep
resenting as near as possible the side OF
the battleship Iowa. The experiment is
expected to be interesting and lnstruc'
tive to- the naval officers, but it is not prob
able that foreigners will be permitted to
know the result, as it would be bad policy
to make them acquainted with the re-
sisting power of our battleships, and any
weakness they may have. So the or
dinance bureau will take one of the II
inch nickel-stee Harveyed plate sub
mitted by the manufacturers for the bal
listic test, Just what plates not being now
known, and mount it upon a backing
like the side of the Iowa. Behind thf
Iowa will be II inches of tough oak, then
two skin plates, each 5-S of an inch thick
then cofferdam filled with cellulose, then
coal bunkers, the whole structure beiGs
about 6 feet thick
Orders are now on the way to the Nor.
folk navy yard to build this structure
and ship it to the proving grounds al
Indian Head. This backing differs ma
terially from that ordinarily used in
making proof tests of plates, where the
plate is backed by heavy timbers strong
clay, and the test is intended to afford 9
comparison between the solid timber
backing and the side of a ship upon which
J it will be actually tested in time of war.
