A FAST CRAFT.
One Has Been Constructed to Make
Fifty Miles An Hour.

One Has Been Constructed to Make
Fifty Miles An Hour.
New York, June ga craft, with
which her designer confidently believes
will skim the sea at a rate of fifty
miles an hour has Just been launched
in this city. The boat is the invention
of Capt. Carl ]. H. Flindt. Great Sc
crecy was observed in building the
boat. There is not an angle in her in
terror lines. Severing from the bow,
which looks like a fish's head pilot
house rises like a dorsal fin form the
deck. Looking at the bow the sug-
gestion of a fish is as pronounced as
from a side view for there seems to
be no beam. A footrail running
around the deck and protected by an
iron handrail is the only point of the
structure out of the keeping with the
idea of submarine creature.
Capt. Flindt bases his greatest hope
for phenomenal speed on the propeller
which he holds is the greatest novelty
about the boat. There have been other
fish-shaped boats, he admits, but no
propeller like this. She will have her
engines in three weeks then in a week
will come her trial trip.
Capt. Flindt is a sailor of % years
experience. He has been working out
the idea of the boat for fourteen years.
He made fifty models of propellers
before he perfected the device with
which this boat is fitted. 1t consists
of two steel plates, each with two
fianges and is expected to make 500
revolutions per minute, under a fifty
horse power engine.
The craft is built of oak and cedar
on steel ribs and is 81 feet long, 6k
feet beam and IL feet from the lowest
points Of keel to the highest point of
deck. This boat will draw six feet Of
water. She Will have two staterooms,
each eleven feet long and raining the
width of the ship, saloon 4S feet long,
machine room and kitchen and can ac-
commodate thirty men.

MEMORIAL TO HER HUSBAND.

New York, June 26.-Mrs. Alfred Cor
ming Clark, of Cooperstown, N. Y, is
about to place in New York an endur-
ing memorial of her late husband,
whose father, with Isaac Singer,
founded the Singer Sewing Machine
Co. In the very heart of east side
tenement districts, she is about to erect
a building which will combine a model
Kindergarten school with an entertain
ment hall. and on the roof a covered
breathing place for hot summer even
ings. The New York kindergarten as
ISOLATION will have charge of the
school and Mrs. Clark will maintain it.
According to present plans, fully
100000 will have to be set aside for
the building and its support. But more
than that may be necessary, for orders
have been given to make this the
model kindergarten school of the
world. The site has been purchased
and workmen are getting ready to re-
move the old building standing there
now. The new building will be ready
for occupancy by next summer.

SPANS PHILIPPINE Island Uprisers are
Not Yet Conquered.
Tacoma, Wash, June 26.-The North
ern Pacific steamer Victoria has ar
rived from Yokohoma, and brings news
that large band of insurgents who
left Cavite have reached the neighbor
hood of Manila, and on May 18th were
within an hours drive of the capital.
This was after the commander-in-
chief, Rivera, had published his la
test proclamation declaring the rebel
lion ended and offering pardon to the
insurgents. 1t is asserted that dur
ing the campaign just ended, the Span
ish have lost no less than 400 killed
and MORALLY wounded. The rebels
started with but nine efficient guns,
while now they have nearly 10000 cap
tured rifles. Three important towns
have just arisen in rebellion, one in
Tamables, another in Tayabas and one
in Isle de Negros.

LoNpoN,s JUBILEE.


The Shob Press Continue to Slobber
Over the Affair.
New York, June pa dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
The London houses are being grad
ually relieved of the unyieldly packing
cases in which they have been hidden
during jubilee week. All agreed that
the old fable quantity repeated for
generations to generations, that the
Queen of England is a mere social
figurehead of the state edifice is voted
stone dead to all eternity, at least as
far as the present sovereign is con-
cerned. The success of the jubilee fes-
tivities as also the numerous relations
of the Queens strong political action
during her long reign, have been made
public in one long stream of print for
months previously and all this has
enormously raised the prestige of roy
atty in England, and if such Is human
ly possible, in the next royalty, the
London people have been the greatest
gamers by the events of the week.
Everybody is loud in their praise and
the Queen, in honoring their chiefs,
ELECTED universal approval, nor can
there be doubt to those who have
witnessed important festivities in 9TH
er countries. that the dexterity and
tact of the London police call for ex-
ceptional commentator.
Spectators in seats lost heavily, in
some cases small fortunes. The radi-
cal papers air the grievous of anony-
nous ministers who were not hidden
to the feast. Mr.. Gladstone also ex-
presses doubts whether the longest
reign has also been the happiest reign.
Finally the question why the German
emperor did not come to London has
sadly exercised the minds of the cock
ney.

While the rain battered t'sa Byonchos
rested, but what an expensive rest it
was. Charley Weber had to go down
in his baseball stocking for fifty old
dollars and give them to Johnnie Nc
Closkey, of Dallas, who arrived yester-
day with his Defenders, and saw the
rain fall.
The rain fell in all kinds of drops,
but not the kind that make basehits.
1t only cost the Bronchos "fiftq," for
that's what the home teams have to
pay the visiting team every day-rain
or shine.
There are two umpires that must all
ways be respected by the baseball
laws, and even Nick Young must abide
by their rulings. When Old Sol smiles
the game can go on, but when Jupe
Pluve weeps it is all off.
Two games will likely be played with
Dallas tomorrow.

BOILER BURsTED.
No Fatalities But the Engineer is In
jured Seriously.


jured Seriously.
Georgetown, June 26.-(Special.)-
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
boiler at the Bedford Lumber Com
pany mills exploded, seriously injur-
ing the engineer, r. E. Thrift. The
boiler was an upright concern and To-
Gated outside the planning buildings.
The boiler flew over a two-story build
ing and landed outside the yards on the
street, two hundred feet distant. 1t
was raining hard at the time and the
employees were under cover or the ac-
cident would have been accompanied
by great loss of life. Fragments of
the engine showered all over the yards
but fortunately hit no one. The acct
dent was caused by the water running
low in the boiler and cold water turned
on suddenly. The loss is comparative
ly small, the engine being old and worn
out.

his verdict is that death was caused
by an overdose OF cocaine.

TANNER TAKES A BRIDE.
Governor Elect of Illinois Webs Miss
Cora Edith Ens fish.

Springfield, Dec. 31.-ln mat state
ly old edifce, St. Pauls cathedral, at
high noon yesterday, John X. Tanner,
governor elect of Illinois, was united
in marriage to Miss Cora Edith Eng
fish. 1t was by far the most notable
social event that has taken place in
this state for years. Miss English
has the distinction of being the first
and only girl to marry an Illinois gov
ornor after his election to that eXalt-
ed position. First and foremost
among those present was Gen. Rich
ard J. Oglesby, three times governor
and twice United States senator from
tor Shelby M. Cullom, Gen. j. b..
Hamilton, Senator John M. Palmer
and General John A. McClernand :.
There were scores Of local and state
officials and their wives, together with
some of the leaders of society in
Springfield, Chicago and elsewhere.
A damp cold, drizzling rain was fall
ing, but more than an hour before the
time for the ceremony to be performed
guests began TO assemble in the ven
cradle moss-coVered church. Then
there were the thousands of idly GU
rious who thronged the thoroughfare
in front of the church. They stood
there silently and patiently in the
bleak rain, gazing intently' upon the
exterior of the house of God until the
organist within started Up the we'd
ding march and then they sent up
the prolonged SHOUTS Of joy. When
the governor and bride came out
there was mad rush forward by the
crowd in its vain endeaVor to see
them. A spirited pair of thorough
breds attached to a brougham whirled
the bride and groom out of sight
Rev. Frederick Taylor, rector of Che
cathedral, pronounced the ceremony
in the Old English church form, and
Bishop Seymour pronounced the ben
edictiOn. The brides gown was
white mirrored velour. The front of
the bodice was Of embroidered null
with high close collar and long, close.
fitting sleeves extending below the
knuckles. The skirt was plain with
a three-yard tram. At the home of
the bride a wedding luncheon was
given to the intimate friends and rela-
tives. AT the conclusion, Gov. and
Mrs. Tanner left ON the Chicago and
Alton limited going south. Their
exact route was not made public, out
they will visit a number of southern
cities and return in time for the in
auguration, JAN. IL.

AFRENZED HUSBANDS ACT

Because Young spouse of j. Fischel

st. Louis, Dec. 31.-The young wife
of old man Jacob Fischel has suit
for divorce before Judge Wood of the
circuit court of this city. During part
of the proceedings yesterday unfav-
orable to Fischel he got into tower

portance of developing sugar prouuc-
ton in the United States, and by such
methods as insure protection equiv
aIent to that suggested.
Henry T. Oxnard of Grand Island,
Neb., president OF the American Beet
Sugar society, charged that the pres
ent tariff not only failed TO give pro-
lection TO sugar raisers, but discour-
aged the investment of additional
capital. Beet sugar can be produced
in twenty states and under proper
tariff the United States can in fifteen
years raise all the sugar necessary for
home consumption. The beet industry
protested against rates which favored
only the single state of Louisiana.
Every other nation, even Sweden,
which could supply itself with sugar
had taken every measure to do so,
said Mr.. OXnard. Even little Bulgaria
has liberal duties and bounties. The
cost OF labor, uncertainty as to legiS-
lation, export bounties in other coun-
tries and the decline in prices were
in beet sugar. Give Americans a rea-
sonable bounty guaranteed to continue
for reasonable time and they would
work wonders" said Mr.. Onxard The
American is now obliged to compete
with African cheap labor as Egypt in
the fiscal year had sent $3,257 900
worth of sugar to the United States in
British bottoms which carried no re-
turn cargoes. With wars in Cuba and
the Philippines cutting off the sup
plies from those islands, Germany is
endeayoring to capture the American
market. He also argued in favor of abb
rogation of pan-American agreements
and strongly opposed reciprocity. He
advocated dual policy of bounty and
duty. Such dual policy he said would
bounty could be paid and would en-
courage the sugar industry. He pro-
posed a duty of one cent per pound
on all sugar testing rs degrees or less;
three cents per 100 pounds additional
for each degree between rs and SO de-
5lSCo chAu LOuI SOulS per lUu pOuuuS
for every additional degree between
So and 100. He asked for the Mckin-
ley duty on molasseS and countervail-
ing duties against bounty paying coun-
tries on both raw and refined sugars.
The bounty he proposed was three
fourts of cent per 100; one-fourth to
go off at the end of each four years,
and the whole bounty to cease in II
years.
Herbert Myrick, president of the
Orange Judd company, spoke in the
interests of the farmer. What stands
in the way of the American beet sugar
industry, he said, was mainly Euro
pean competition. What is needed is
reasonable specific duty on all i'm
ported sugars, with additional discrim-
ination duty from countries paying ex>
port bounty, equal to that bounty.
