Holes In the Canvas.
From the phiIadelphia Record.

rHOiu the ThihtdCilliAa h1SoANs
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta Vas
allo of Genoa, has made very interesting
innovation in the use of sails of ordinary
sailing vessels. He claims that the force
of wind cannot fully take effect in sail,
since the air in front of it cannot properly
circulate in the inflated part and remains
stationary Immediately in front of part of
the sail proper He avoids this stagnation
of air, as he calls it, by the application of
a number of small holes in that part Of the
sail where the depression is deepest when
it is filed. These holes are REINFORCED
like buttonhole, so that they will not tear
out.
Trials made in various weather have re-
suited as follows: With light wind a
boat with ordinary sails made 4 knots,
while the new sail increased the speed to
81 knots. In fresh breeze the respective
speeds were7 and 81 knots, and in strong
wind they were and 10 knots an hour.
1t stands to reason that the doing away
with layer of air which cannot escape
past the sides of sail must increase the
efficiency of the sailboat Where the wind
formerly struck a cushion of air which act
ed like spring mattress, decreasing the
actual pressure of the wind against the
canvas, this current of air now strikes the
sail direct and of course has greater eff
cheney. Yasallo has received much en-
couragement from practical sailors as well
as theoretical scientists

WASHINGTON, April 4, 1e9S.-In the re-
cent discussion of the proposed subsidy
to the Oceanic steamship line in the posi-
office bill, Senator Elkins made a short
speech in regard to which he has since
received many letters and kilograms. II
was In advocacy of a measure ne introduced
some time ago and now known as the
hilkins bill. to place discriminating,
duty of ten per cent. ad valorem on ali
goods imported to this country in vessels
not sailing under the American flag.
This proposition was Incorporates in
the Massachusetts Republican State plat
form last week, and Mr. Elkins is urging
its adoption as a plank in the ST. Louis
platform. In his speech Mr. Elkirss paid
his respects to the Canadian Pacific Rail
road as follows
The Canadian Pacific Railroad is the
natural enemy of the transportation inter
ests OF the United States, and it stands TO-
DAY as our greatest commercial antagon-
lst. 1t violates our Interstate commerce
law with complacent Indifference: it
cuts rates. and It takes freights from our
Pacific railroads in which the United
States has a direct interest. It hauls
more cheaply from St Louis and Other
interior points in our country, by way Of
Canada to Oregon and San Francisco
than the Pacific roads can do, though the
distance is much shorter. It is a sharp
competitor now for business with all the
Pacific roads from and to California. For
1000 miles the Canadian Pacific traverses
a non-productive country. one not able n
support a railroad 1t lives off its s,,h-
ventions and the business it takes from
the railroads of the United States.n

DAY FOR FILING CHANGED

City Clerk Edward w. Woolley is at
it again. Whenever an opportunity pre-
sents itself to display a narrow partisan
ship in the conduct Of his official duties
the bumptious City Clerk eagerly seizes
It. Last years antics of attempting to
disfranchise hundreds of Democratic
voters was again repeated this morning
when he announced that all certificates
Of nomination for candidates at the ap-
preaching election must be fled with
him today
The law says that eight days prior to
election day these certificates must be
filed. Since election day is April IA the
day for fling would be April 6, or Monday
next. counting of course the Sundays as
the custom has been for years past. But
here was the opportunity for the Bump
tious Woolley to again make himself ridi-
culous and disagreeable Conscious of his
legal attainments he construed the word
ing of the law to exclude the Sundays and
thus bring the eighth day down to Satur-
day (today). and then he issued, like Nep-
tune of old, the famous Quos Ego.
But, Mr.. Woolley,. reconstructed one
candidate this morning. the practice mas
been TO count back ana exclude the Sun
day which will make MONDAY the final
day but neither argument nor persua-
sion would change the City Clerk He
took shelter behind the question of the
Sunday. not that it was Of any great i'm
portance, but simply out of pure cussed-
ness and a desire TO flarass and annoy
Democratic candidates.
Mr.. John J. Mulvaney, secretary of the
Democratic City Committee, was very
indignant this morning. He explained that
| many of the acceptances had not been
received and as every one looked upon
Monday as The proper day no effort of
course was .aade to have them ready to-
day. Mr.. Mulvaney will, however, file
them ON Monday with the City Clerk. If
that bumptious individual continues in
his obstinacy an application for writ
of mandamus win be made to bring Mr..
Woolley to reason.
An eminent lawyer like Mr.. Charles l..
Corbin when spoken to about the date
said that Monday was time enough.
