three years the salary of the newly chosen
missionary bishop of Ashevile, the Rev. j.
M. Horner, of the Horner Military School,
at Oxford, n. c. 1t is understood that all
five of the missionary bishops elected by
the Protestant Episcopal House of Bishops
recently have accepted. and as they do not
require consents OF the standing committees
of the dioceses their early conservation is
to be arranged.
Rev. j. A Erwin. who has gone to Porto
Rico as the first missionary of the Christian

minister of the Central Christian Church.

than $500. 100000. And this in addition to the

SUBMARINE BOAT TESTED.
Whitehead Torpedo successfully
Fired from the Holland Craft.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12-Hollands subma-
rine boat was tested to-day in the lower bay
by a board of inspection appointed by Sec
rotary of the Navy Long. A Whitehead
torpedo, with practice head was put in a
cage and drawn through the expulsion hole
in the bow of the submarine boat and then
adjusted in the aperture for mission of
four hundred yards, to travel that distance
within five feet of the surface of the water.
When off Sixty-siXth street the signal to
fire was given by the board of inspection,
and the missile was expelled from the bow
of the light craft, ana in five jumps, each
of which was punctuated with an expulsion
of air that sent the water flying seven feet
high, the projectie Travelled the distance of
a quarter of a mile and was lassoed by the
government tug. When the torpedo was
fired the Holland was not submerged, her
bow being fully eighteen inches above the
water line, but it if were necessary to fire
the destroyer underneath the surface of the
water Captain Morris said that il could be
accomplished just as easy at five, ten or
fifteen feet under the surface. The diving
apparatus Was tested with very SatiSfac-
tory results, but the verdict of the board
OF inspection as to the result of the expert
ments will not be made known until they
have been passed upon by the Navy Depart
ment at Washington.

p. j. Gogen, a matchmaker living at 11041a
East Tenth street, was arrested last night,
charged with assault and battery. He had
been drinking in Haggerty's saloon, on West
Washington street. according to his story,
and started for home about midnight.
When he reached the sidewalk he saw two
men, whom he did not know, fighting in
the dark in front Of the door, Acting on
an impulse, he tried to separate them, and
one of the men, mistaking his intentions as
peacamaker, thought he was about to
help his adversary and, drawing a knife,
cut Gogen in the right side. The wound
was not serious, however, and Gogen was
arrested at the Office of DIR. Eisenbeiss while
his wound was being dressed. Gogen claims
to have had no interest in the fight, and
is at a loss to know what he was arrested
for The police, however, believe Gogen
knows more than he wishes to tell about the
trouble, and will hold him until the other
men are known and located.

TERMS OF JUSTICES.
Complication Over the Expiration of
Terms


question has been sprung as to the
change of justices of the peace which may
lead to complications. There are at present
eight justices of the peace in this township.
Six were elected at the election previous to
the last one and two We're appointed
Hahich and Walpole-by the County Com
missioners. On Tuesday five Justices of the
peace were elected. Two of them are to take
office eighteen months from now. Four of
the old justices terms expire Immediately
Therefore there are but three new justices
TO take the offices of four old ones.
The question would be easy to solve were
1t not that Squire Sears is of opinion
that the County Commissioners have not
the power to take away the docket of a
justice until his successor is elected and
qualities. Squire Sears says he has no inten-
ton TO refuse to give up his office as nad
been rumOred, but he did not propose to
turn over his docket to another man unless
the newcomer had the proper certificate
County Commissioner Greer when told of
the matter yesterday, said that the board
had not heard of the difficulty and did not
care TO discuss it until it had considered
II and conferred with the county attorney.
He did not anticipate any difficulty in clear
ing it up.
Squire Nickerson said that he saw no
complication. Squire Herrick. of West In
dianapOlis. he said, had done no official bus
mess for months, had gone into the saloon
business and was ready to resign whether
or not a successor were appointed for him.
Justice Walpole will turn over his docket
to Nickerson tomorrow. 'Squires Lockman
and NickerSOn succeed. themselves and the
terms of Hay and Clark expire in eighteen
months from the present time.

Commander Craven's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The official re-
port to the Navy Department of the find
ing Of the Maria Teresa was contained in
the following cablegram received from
Commander Craven, of the wrecking tug
Potomac, which had been ordered to Cat
island from Santiago:
Nassau, Nov 12-Potomac arrived Maria
Teresa near Bird point, Cat island one
mile off shore in two fathoms OF water
Tide rising and falling inside. Temporary
deck broken up movable articles removed
by natives. Vulcan not seen. Natives at
work since Saturday"
The Potomac was ordered at once back
to Cat island, with instructions to Com
mander Craven to take possession of the
Teresa and drive off the wreckers who are
footing the ship. He replied by cable that
he would leave Immediately and would ar
rive at the wreck in the morning. The fact
that the Teresa, a vessel drawing, in trim
twenty-three feet of water. and waterlOgged
as she was when abandoned, probably draw
ing nearly thirty feet should have been
driven in twelve feet of water is regarded
by naval officers as evidence of the great
strength of the storm which caused her
crew to leave her.

WOULDN'T KISS THE GIRLS.
Maidens of Stewart, Ia, RepuIsed by
One of HObsOn's Heroes.

STEWART, Ia, Nov. 12.-Osborn Deignan,
one of the men of Merrimac fame, arrived
here and was met by 500 people who escorted
him home. Eighteen or twenty club girls
surrounded him at the depot and attempted
to kiss him, but he pushed all back, saying
there were handsomer men in the crowd
than he. The municipal authorities pre-
scented Deignan with a sword and Governor
Shaw and other prominent Iowans made
speeches
Deignan ran away from his home here
years ago. He is only twenty-one years
old, but already had served three years APP
premiership in Uncle Sans navy before
the beginning of hostilities with Spain
on the day after the declaration of war he
re-enlisted and was assigned to the collier
Merrimac. When it was decided To sink
the Merrimac in the channel at Santiago
he was one of the first to volunteer. After
being captured by Cervera and exchanged
he was assigned to the cruiser New York
and later transferred to the auxiliary cruis-
er Resolute and participated in the hcm-
bardment of ManZanilla, one of the last en-
gagements of the war. He is now thief
boatswain's mate on the Resolute a ten
days furlough.

MAY NOT INTERFERE.
Government Cannot Protect TOIbert

government Cannot Protect TO1bert
Except in Discharge of His Duties.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Except in the
unlocked for event of a recurrence of the
race rioting in the Carolinas, it is altogeth-
er improbable that the government will in
terfere by force or otherwise. The attor-
ney general had another conference with
the President this morning in regard to
the matter and the conclusion was promptly
reached that as the demonstrations were
not directed against the collector of Gus
toms in the performance of his duties as
such, the government had no authority
under the Constitution or laws to exercise
it's federal authority. Collector Tolbert was
shot while away from his home and on bust
ness entirely disconnected from that of his
office and under these circumstances, the
government, 1t is said, has not the shadow
of right to Interfere If the collector had
been shot in the discharge of his official dI-
ties and in an effort to enforce the laws of
the United States. the case would have
been very different and the duty of the
government would have been clear. In the
present case, however, it is said, the law
less acts OF the mob were not directed
against the execution of the laws of the
United States, but against the individual
The case would have been the same had
Tolbert been shot on the highway by a rob-
Der. Administration officials have no sym
their acts with adherence, but up to this
time it is said there is no evidence that
would warrant any interference by the
government.
