SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT.
"The Holland" Launched at the Cres-
cent Shipyards.

ELIZABETH On. j., May 1.-THE
Holland submarine torpedo boat was
launched at the Crescent shipyards in
this city to-day. The inventor of the
boat, John p. Holland, has closely
watched the construction of the vessel.
The vessel was christened 'The Hol-
land by Mrs. Nixon, wife of Lieutenant
Lewis Nixon, the constructor. There
will not be any attempt at submarine
evolutions for several weeks.
The construction of the boat has been
eagerly watched all over the country.
The boat is cylindrical in shape, is fifty
three feet three inches long, with four
foot screw amidships and the nodded
diameter is the same. The boat can
travel under water eight knots an hour
for eight hours, and ten knots an hour
on the surface. The power comes from
a gasoline engine and a dynamo, the
former to be used when the boat is sail
ing along the surface, and the latter
when she is submerged. 1t will take
less than a minute to submerge the boat,
and about the same length of time for
her to rise to the surface. The arma-
ment consists of three torpedo tubes,
which will discharge high explosives.
Six men will constitute the crew.
Several foreign nations have bid for the
vessel. but it is likely that Mr.. Holland
will sell her to the United States.

ney's office, and suspicion is, or has
been, entertained that they are por-
ton of the skeleton of William Wot-
ton. the aged rancher who mysterious
ly disappeared and is believed to have
been murdered by Professor Sanders.
The bones We're found a few days ago
on a place about a mile north of the
Sanders ranch They were unearthed
at a depth of about two and a hall
feet by a man who was digging cess
pool They were at the roots of
tree near a house that was unoccupied
at the time of Wootton's disappearance.
With them were found q small tin can
and the bar of a gold watch chain.
On Saturday the District Attorney
and a Deputy Sheriff went to the scene
of the discovery and secured the hnd'
which was thought to warrant the sus-
picion that the solution of the dark
mystery had been found. To-day, how
ever that theory got a setback. Or.
Pedlar gave the bones a brief exam
ination. and While their decayed con-
dition and a cursOry examination dld
not warrant a positive opinion, he eX-
pressed the belief that they are not
the bones of a human being. one
strange feature of the matter is that
only a few bones could be found, which
was supposed to indicate that some
powerful acid had been used to destroy
the body.
A full investigation of the matter VIII
be anXiOusly awaited.

FAIR-CRAVEN CASE.
Most of the Day Consumed in Argu-
ing TechnicaIities.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1l.-Prior tC
the taking of testimony in the Angus
Craven case to-day, Judge Slack heard
the application Of Attorneys McEnerney
and Pierson and Mitchell for a further
allowance for counsel fees as attorneys
for the executors of the estate of the
late Senator James G.. Fair.
Before the admission of the will of
September 21, 1894, to probate they re-
ceived $40, 625 as attorneys for the spe-
cial administrators, and of the 100000
set aside by the terms of the will for
legal fees they have received $4,000,
but they maintain that this was not to
be considered in the granting of other
fees.
George A. Knight, on behalf of Chas-
/. Fair, opposed the application, and the
court intimated that the second sum re-
ceived by the attorneys would be con-
sidered.
Most Of the days session was con-
stunned by counsel in arguing technicali-
ties which arose during the trial, but a
number Of ex0ert witnesses were ex-
anime. Theodore kytha identified sew
eral contact proofs of the pencil will
which was admitted in evidence on Fri
day last, and local photographers iden-
titled proof negatives of a letter pur-
porting to have been written by Fair

occur, Take good care of the pencil

CITIZEN SOLDIERS.
Companies E and G Pass a Praise
worthy Inspection.

Lieutenant-ColOneI Hay, who is in
specting the companies of the Third
Brigade of the National Guard started
in on the inspection of the companies
| in this city yesterday morning He in
spected the uniforms. haversacks, arms,
etc, of Company E, and the Signal
Corps and Troop 3. and will inspect
Company Gs trappings to-day.
In the evening Companies + and G.,
and the band of the Second Infantry
were mustered in Armory Hall. The
roll-caN showed all the members of
Company G and the band present, while
only one absentee was reported from
Company f, and he arrived later in the
evening, thus insuring 100 per cent. for
attendance for each of the organiza
tions
Assistant Adjutant- General Peeler as
sisted Colonel Hay with the inspection.
While djutant-General Barrett, Major
w. w. Douglas and Captain Seymour
occupied places among the spectators.
Colonel Hay spoke well of the gen
era1 appearance of the men and of
the excellent condition i'll which he
found their accoutrements. They were
in light marching order, and fatigue
uniforms, and seemed as much at ease
under the weight of haveTsacll, canteen
and prairie belt as SO many regulars.
The praise bestowed on the men by
the inspecting officers was echoed by
the military men among the spectators
General Barrett said the or
CARNATIONS had improved 100 per cent.
in department within the past year.
After the inspection of arms the COM
panies were divided into squads and
put through the bayOnet exercises. This
was creditably performed, and the man
ual drill which followed was we'll worth
the applause bestowed by the specta-
tors.
Later in the evening the trops were
put through the evolutiOns of battalion
drill, and it was not until late that the
men were dismissed.

Corps viii be inspected at Armory Hall

ROYAL PRISONERS.
A Partisan Official Who Could Have
Told Secrets.

To NJ Clement. the senior of the
commissaries of police of the French
metropolis. who has just died at the
age Of 60 years, belongs the distinction
of having placed under arrest more
royal personages than any other police
official in the world, says a Paris cor
respondent of an exchange. His career
dates back to the days of Napoleon III
In spite of this celebrity which NJ.
Clement enjoyed as the executor Of
warrants against princes Of the blood
there was no police official in all Paris
for whom royal persOnages entertained
50 high regard as this shaggy browed
old cOmmissary. Whenever any of them
got into a scrape at Paris the first thing
he did was to send for NJ Clement and
the number of foreign decOra tons that
adorned his breast when in full uniform
bore a striking tribute to the impor-
lance of the services which he had rem
dered in this connection.
1t must not be forgotten that when
royal personages visit Paris it is, as a
general rule, with the object of having
a good time and of enjoying themselves
in a manner which they could not ven
ture on at home. The consequence is
that their jollifcation not infrequently
eliminates in more or less unsavory
scrapes and in their arrest by minor
police officials ignorant of their rank.
| OF course, it is of the utmost impor-
| lance, with a view to avoiding interna-
tional complications, that they should
be set at liberty without any undue
delay or publicity, and it was in pre-
cisely such predicaments as these that
| the services of NJ. Clement were invaI-
liable.
Russian Grand Dukes. Bavarian
Princes, daughters of petty German
rulers, arrested in shops on charges of
| kleptomania members of the reigning
house of Spain, such as the late Duke
of Durcal, who got into trouble for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses at
Paris, and scions of the royal house of
! Bourbon such as Prince Pascal Grim
inally indicted for mortgaging goods
which did not belong to hin-al1 have
been assisted by NJ. Clement out of the
trouble in which they had involved
themselves.
The person, however who was most
| deeply indebted to him in this respect
| assuredly was the late Prince of Or
ange, surnamed Citron, who would
have succeeded to his fathers throne in
place of little Queen Wilhelmina had
not his life been brought to a prema-
ture close by debauchery and dissipa-
ton of every kind. He spent the last
twenty years of his existence at Paris.
frequently being picked up from the
cutters of the boulevards in a state of
entire helplessness and Inconsistencies
from drink. while as often as the police
made raid on the evil characters with
which the French metropolis is infested
they would be certain that the Prince
of Orange would be found entangled in
the meshes of their drag net.
