which, to give them due credit, the bulk of
the white officers labored to bring their
men up to the required standard or eff
cheney, the experiment soon showed signs
of being short-lived. The Indians tired of
army life, and the reports from the field
grew less and less encouraging. Some of
the older heads in the army, foreseeing the
possibility that we might ere long have
some foreign power to fight, instead of
combining our military campaigns to paci-
flying hostile Indian country, or the sup
preston of riots, grew nervous over the
status of the Indian troops in such con-
flict; for the reservation Indian, though
he may put on United States army uni
form and muster the full code of tactics,
is still regarded as a savage and could not
be employed in civilized warfare without
evoking protest from all over Christen-
dom. According to the moral code into
which the Indian is born treachery, deceit,
murder and pillage are legitimate weapons
OF wal, and no power on earth could keep
Indian troops from using these weapons,
once the occasion came and their passions
were aroused.
To say that the experiment of attaching
Indian companies to white regiments is
ended does not, of course, mean that this
- tlC ldoL VIC sudll see vi lue Iuuldu as q
soldier. 1t means only that the effort to
make Indian troops distinct branch of
the service has not borne the fruit which
was expected. The Indian soldier as a
soldier will be just as welcome as ever. If
an Indian voluntarily separates himself
from his tribe to enter the military service
of his country, and appears equally fit,
physically, mentally and morally, with
white men in the same service, the color of
his skin will not bar him out. But he will
be put into the same company with whites,
like any other recruit. The individual In
dian, thrown among whites accustomed to
discipline, will, it is thought, be much
more amenable to the restraints of army
life than when he is massed with his own
people exclusively.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.


The Belknap savings bank at Laconia
closed its doors Wednesday. The amount
due depositors is 1901 ,502. The trustees
met Tuesday and voted unanimously that
the bank go into voluntary liquidation and
divide the assets among depositors as fast
as they can be advantageously converted
1t is believed that all depositors can be
paid. The Withdrawals by depositors in
excess of deposits since the panic of 1898
have amounted to over $4,000. The
Withdrawals have increased of late, and
rather than sell good securities at a sacri-
flee the trustees decided to put the bank
into liquidation 10 protect the interests of
all. The troubles of the bank have come
from Western investments.

The Third Rail Versus the Trolley.

Several important questions were settled
by the experiment tried by President Clark
of the Consolidated road of running an
electrically equipped car from Berlin to
Hartford, Conn, between two trains drawn
by steam locomotives. The current was
carried by third rail. Electrical engi-
neers have asserted that the effective range
of electricity for traction purposes is limited
TO six miles; that three miles more can be
operated by the aid of an auxiliary dynamo:
but that beyond the nine-mle limit an al
ternating current must be used from the
power house, to be changed into direct
current by means of a rotary converter.
This assertion was disproved by last weeks
experiment. Thirteen miles of track were
covered in eighteen minutes without inter-
mediate feeders, thus demonstrating that
cars can be operated from a central power
house in any direction for Is miles, or in a
straight line 20 miles. Further, it was
shown that trolley roads can no longer
hope to parallel and compete with the old
steam roads: for the latter, by simply lay
ing third rail and erecting power-house.
and providing suitable equipment, can run
electrical cars on schedule time more swift
ly, comfortably and cheaply than is posi-
BILE by trolley on the highway. Indeed,
this service can be operated, it is claimed,
at one-fifth the cost of trolley line. More
than this, the experiment demonstrates
that the inevitable change from steam to
electricity can be made on all our great
trunk roads at the convenience of their
managers, and with no interference With
the schedule running of trains. The days
of the locomotive are numbered. Within
few years electricity will displace steam
on all our great trunk lines.

a New Naval Terror,

Submarine torpedo boats have been dis
cussed for some years, and our govern
ment, after investigating on this line,
made an appropriation for boat that
should be terror to the seemingly invul-
nerable men-of-war. Such boat has been
designed and launched. 1t is the inven-
ton of John F. Holland. 1t is expected
that it can run for eight hours under the
water at a speed of as many knots, by
using its electric batteries, and it has gaso-
line engines to propel it, when not sub
merged. This boat shoots torpedoes from
both ends, and is said to be so shrewdly
designed that no vessel ahoat can survive
its attacks. If everything promised for
this submarine marvel is true the great
nayies of the world are useless, and the in
ventive genius of the men who devote
their lives TO constructing engines of de-
struction and defence will have TO put
their wits at work to guard against this
new terror.
