WOOL IMPORTS
AT the Ports of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston
In August, the First Full Month, Since
the Tariff Act Went Into Effect.
1t Amounted To 2.s75.sO7 Pouuds-The
Gunboat Wheeling Goes to Honolulu
Experimenting with AN Attachment
for Torpedocs by Naval Oncers.

WAsnNGToN, Sept. 2I.-Orders were
sent from the navy department Thurs
day to San Francisco To have the gun.
boat Wheeling sent to Honolulu as
soon as she can bc prepared for the
voyage. The Wheeling has been put
in commission recently and was about
to start in a short time for Sitka, TAX
ing stores and relief men for the gun
boat Concord, now on duty in Alaska.
She is small but well-cquippcd
modern gunboat, somewhat smaller
than the Bennington, now at Honolulu,
but together the two bouts will make a
good force.
The Philadelphia will remain at Hon
olulu until the Wheeling arrives.
Whether the Yorktown will then be
detained is not certain, but it is likely
that she will not stop at Honolulu on
her way home from China any longer
than is necessary to secure coal and
stores The Philadelphia, upon reach
men on the Baltimorc, which has just
been extensively repaired, and the lat
ter will go to Hawaii as Adr1. Millcr's
flagship The admiral will rcnIuin at
Honolulu while the exchange is being
made.
The records of the treasury depart
mcnt show that the imports of wool at
the ports of New York, Philadelphia
and Boston during August, 1897, the
first full month since the new tariff act
went into effect, amounted TO 2,S75, ,s91
pounds. the smallest importation of
any month since January, 1894, when
the aggregate was 2,744, ,406 pounds.
Wool importations for August, 1896,
amounted to 4,719,77s pounds, and the
largest previous importation was for
April. 1897, when it reached 95.j59. .9j5
pounds. Last August's importations
were very largely of class 3 or carpet
wools
The naval ordnance bureau has been
securing some remarkable results from
certain experiments it has been max.
ing by direction of Acting Secretary
Roosevelt with an attachment for tor
pcdoes, the invention of an Austrian
named Obrey. This is kind of gyro-
scope, and the reports from the torpedo
station where the tests have been made
and are to be continued, show that it
has the property. having been once di-
rected at the object to be hit, of ac-
tually restoring the torpedo to which
it is attached to straight course to-
wards the object even after it has been
DETECTED. The addition of this device
is said by the experts to make the tor
pcdo almost a weapon of precision.
WAsHlSGToN, Sept. 24.-Thc depart
ment of the interior has accepted the
bid of Frederick L. Gilbe rt for all the
timber on Red Cliff Chippewa Indian

Political Tips.

Austin, Texas. August 2o.--Hiram Me-
Gar. chairman Of the republican executive
committee Of the Ninth congressional dis
tric,, has returned from Dallas, whore he
took a prominent part In the meeting Of
colored patriots held there recently. He
says that tho Mccauley faction was In tho
ascendency four to one. but that on the
whole tho meeting resulted In nothing.
1t was evidently called for the purpose
Of working the negro voters In somebody 9

pose There were any number OF fesoin-
Tons indorsing certain people for office

getting q recommendation out Of the as

While In Dallas McGar had an interview
with Ed. Green, who undertook TO square
himself with him by promising to REIN
state him in the cbairmaashiD OF the Ninth
congregational district, from which he re-
moved him last fall. McGar informed
Green that he was In no need Of reinstate-
ment. as he had never considered his re.
moyal legal, and proposed to perform the
duties OF congressional chairman until su-
perseded by some one selected by duly
organized district convention. Green prac-
tically admitted that he had played the
mischief In attempting to unseat such dis
trict and county chairmcn as he thought
were nimcal to himself and at variance
with the gang which was running him dur
Ing tho last campaign. and promised to do
better In the future.
