EUSTIS AT CANTON.
EX-MnyOr of Minneapolis Calls on
the President-EIect.

CANTON, Feb. 9-There is highest
authority for saying no formal &C.
ceptance of the navy portfolio was
made last night or that anything new
has been received from ex-Gov. Long.
Of Massachusetts. 1t has been expect
ed for several weeks that Long would
be in the cabinet, and probably hold
the navy portfolio, but best informa-
ton is that no formal announcement
has been received, much less made
known. EX-Gov. Long will probably
take the navy portfolio if formally
rendered.
The most prominent visitor of today
was Hon. G. P. Bell, chairman of the
inaugural committee at Washington
He arrived on the 1890 Fort Wayne
train, and was met by Attorney James

ference with the president When

Ex-Mayor William H. Eustis, of Min
neapols Mimi, paid his respects to

4 Deadly Forco That Is Used Ia Modern

The torpedo mines arc operated from

are spherical in shape, about three feet
in diameter, and constructed cf steel.
These, when in service, are expected 10
hold 100 pounds Of high explosives and
to float near tho surface. But they must
be concealed as well as buoyant, and so
TO each is attached by a cable a mush-
room anchor TO keep the torpedo just
below the surface, out of sight and be-
yond the reach of the fro of machine
guns.
These mines are intended for use in
the channels that hostile ships would
have to sail through and are formed
in threes and set closely in the channel
according TO plans previously arranged.
