Supreme Court Charged with Uncleanness.
The governor begins his address with
the statement that for year the press
dispatches have said that the opinion in
the Nebraska case would be adverse
to the state. and he insinuates that
these forecasts were put out in advance
by persons connected with the court in
order to feel the public pulse. Then ne

The governor declares that the con-

charges for transportation, and that
the supreme court has tried to abrogate
it. He challenges Justice Harlan's dec

Is an expert says in effect, and his words
are worthy of all weight, as he knows
absolutely of what he is talking: L am
a graduate Of the torpedo school, and
have studied the effects Of torpedoes
and mines from observation and ex-
periments. A torpedo exploded at a
depth OF six feet would throw a column
of water 100 feet into the air, at twelve
feet ten feet into the air, and at thirty
feet deep would hardly raise a small
wave in the water a torpedo itself
would not be felt at any great distance
II requires the resistance OF a solid
body and would be dissipated in water
or mud. This disposes OF the wave the
DRY and the affecting Of the shore or
boats in the harbor.' -
This expert" said that il was prob
able that the Maine was blown up by
what is known as Newport station
torpedo. This engine OF destruction is
the joint product of the labors of Com
mander Converse, commander of the
Montgomery; Lieutenant Commander
Mclean, now i'm command OF the tor
pedo station at Newport, and Lieutenant
Holman, ordnance officer OF the Maine
at the time OF the explosion. The New
port torpedo can be planted from a
small boat, and the expert believes that
this one was exploded by being struck
on the port side of the Maine, forward
of amidships, as she swung to her
moorings."
