Mr.. Ernest Ingersoll Describes "Ths
Tricks of Torpedo Boats" In St Nicholas.
After telling what the boats are like and
what they can accomplish Mr.. Ingersoll
says: But % insure all these fine results
both officers and men must be taught how
to manage and maneuver them to best al
vantage. IN we'll IA how TO discharge the
torpedoes they carry Constant drilling Is
necessary, and lately one OF these boats In
our navy, the Gushing (so suitably named
after the young hero Of the civil war who
destroyed the rebel ram Albemarle by
means of rtsae. torpedo boat one Of the
first actually used), has been attached TO
the naval station at Newport, r. L., in Or
der to carry on this practice. One set Of
officers and men after another Is instructed
In handling her and I'm the making and
firing of her torpedoes, and they have
plenty OF fun along with the schooling
1.-The headquarters of this work is Goat
island, which separates Newport harbor
from the outer waters of Narragansett bay.
There Is a searchlight which commands
the harbor entrances and a wide circle OF
the bay. One OF more warships are always
there. Those searchlights also can be
swung In any direction. Yet the Cushing
arrived one night and first announced her
self by suddenly blowing her whistle with
In pistol shot of the inner wharf OF the is
land-and 10 was not dark night either.
A few afternoons later she went down the
bay and challenged every eye to be alert to
see her return In the evening 1t was
bright moonlight-at time In which no such
boat would attempt serious attack-yet
Lieutenant Fletcher, the Cushing's com.
mander, crept within third Of mile Of
the shore before he was detected 1t would
have pleased you to see her that night as
she came plainly into view-a long low
streak gliding silently and swiftly athwart
the moonlit sea. rolling a silvery furrow
back from her plowlike bow and seeming
more like some great fish with it's back
fins out of water than any sort of steam
ship.
But 1t Is on dark and stormy nights that
the practice becomes exciting Groups of
officers stand upon the rampant Of Fort
tor or cruiser and strain eyes and ears TO
obtain some inkling of the torpedo boats
presence, the long white beam of the elec-
tric searchlight sweeping right and left,
up and down. and every man gazing along
the path it illuminates for some glimpse
OF the little enemy. A swing of the beam
southwark brings out the grim walls and
numerous cannon of Fort Adams, and
shows every yacht and fishing boat at an
chor inside of Brenton's point The main
channel, the Dumplings, the faraway
shores of Conanicut island, Rose island and
it's ruined old Notifications, the upper bay
dotted with lazy sloops and schooners slip
ping down with the tide, are revealed one
after another, as the powerful rays are
turned slowly westward and northward
until mt last they are shining again on the
Naval War College and Training school
an on the clustered shipping and wharves
of the picturesque old town.

Opening OF the Silver Campaign the Greatest

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 1G.--Six thou
sand people took part i'll street parade
and fifteen thousand listened to speeches
by John Lind, q former republican and
now candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket, and Congressman
Towne last night, when the Bryan cam
paign was opened in Minnesota, Such
q political demonstration has never
been known before in the history of
this state.
AS the parade passed the st. Louis
Hotel, from balcony of which Lind
and Towne reviewed it, the enthusiasm
was intense. Organized labor was out
in full force and the banners they car
ried were full of silver sentiment. The
union walters formed themselves into
squads of seventeen, sixteen of whom
were dressed in white and one in gold.
Wisconsin sent delegation of about
1000. Among the mottos were eve

and Wisconsin join hands, IS to /"
"Down with Mark Hanna" and "The
people, not money, shall rule Both
speakers paid high tributes to Bryan
and Sewall, and the mention of the sill
yer standard bearers was received with
the greatest enthusiasm. 1t was re-
markable contrast to the republican
demonstration last Saturday night,
when about 900 heard Senator Thurs
ton speak, and he reviewed parade
consisting of $50 voters, exclusive of
bands.

BOURKE'S SPEECH.

The speech of Bourke Cochran in
Madison Square Garden was intended
as an answer to that of VIM. J. Bryan
at that place. Those who did not hear
the great eloquenee of Mr.. Cochran
lost all there was of his speech. TWAS
fiat failure in cold type, and compared
to that of Bryan was tame, narrow
desperate effort of lawyer trying to
make case, and was more sectional
than any utterance Of Ben Tillman. 1t
was an effort to hoodwink the factory
hand of the east and hold him in line
while the farmer was left out in the
cold. In fact he tried to array the
shop hand against the farmer, whom he
held up as the great Moloch of greed
for wanting more than so cents for a
bushel of wheat.
His reference to the shareholders of
the south as men who wanted to get
out of paying their debts was an insult
and will not stampede the southern
votes to his man Mckinley. There
was nothing new in Cochran's TRADE.
If Bryan had made no better speech on
his side he would have been taken of
the track and sent to an asylum.
When he defied the combined powers
of the world to take away one particle
of value from a gold coin he branded
himself an idiot or mountebank treat
ing his audience as densely ignorant
on the question.
If the speeches of Cochran and Sher
man are to save the gold standard it il
lost already.

WHAT A CHANGE.

Senator Elkins is on the st. Louis
platform now, but he had to make a
humiliating spectacle of himself, just
like Mckinley and the others. Here is
what he said in a speech before the
state league of republican clubs at
Fairmont on the 10Th of June, 1894:
"Silver is the money of the constitu-
ton as much as gold the people will
have silver for money and fight for it,
and the contest will not end until it has
its proper place in the monetary system
of the country.
"The people are too intelligent to
permit values to be measured by gold
alone, the production of which relative
ly diminishing in the world. This
would make money dearer and property
cheaper. Silver should be used as we'll
as gold and the parity between both
maintained. The time will come when
the silver in the treasury will perform
the functions of money as of gold, and
the trouble will be that there is not too
much of it, but too little. "
Stephen B. stood then as squarely on
the Chicago platform as does Bryan
now. Still the goldbug partisans pre-
tend to believe all such honest in their
flop.

SENSATION
Caused by Republican Organizer Who Re-
signs-Will Vote for Bryan.

Kokomo, Ind, August IA most
profound sensation was occasioned here
today by letter in the Sunday Dis
patch written by w. p. Ward, the
treasurer of the republican county CEN
trail committee. He resigns the posi-
ton because he can not support the st,
Louis platform, which he denounces in
the most unmeasured terms. He de-
clares that it is vicious and in the in
terest of the rich against the poor.
Mr.. Ward has been lifelong repub-
lican and one of the most active work
ers in the party. He declares that he
will vote for Bryan and free silver in
November. Among other accessions to
the Bryan cause are John B. Garter
and his son, Henry B. Lowe, ex-city
treasurer ]. J. Lockwood, merchant
John Cain, harness maker, and several
others who do not care to be pestered
by republican whippers-in.
It is rumored that one of the most
prominent republicans of this city is
preparing a speech to declare for Bryan
and free silver in few days.
