Torpedo boats designed solely for firing
torpedoes. They are long and narrow. ard
rely on their invisibility to get unperceived,
within SEQ yards of an enemy, fire torpedo
and then skurry away.
Torpedo beat destroyers are designed sole
!y for destroying torpedo boats. A destroyer
is an enlarged torpedo beat, but much faster,
and relies rather On speed than inyisitil-
ity to accomplish her purpose. She is fitted
to discharge torpedoes, quite after the style
of the boat, but she-is also provided with a
formidable battery of small calibre rapid-fre
guns, perhaps eight ten such pieces and
with these she will bring the boat to bay.
Rarely will the boat have more than three
or four of these small guns to resist attack
with: The speed of the boat is from twenty
five knots to twenty-eight knots; that of the
destroyer is thirty knots.

Mr. Foote Rep., N. " to increase the
appropriation for arms, etc, of naval
reserves from 100000 to 100000. The
amendment was defeated, 1851
An amendment was adopted to per-
NIT the secretary of the navy to use
any portion of Michigan's naval militia
fund to repair the damage of the Yam
tic.
Mr.. Elliott Dem, S. c. made point
of order against the provision that none
of the money appropriated for the
naval station at Port Royal, S. c.,
should be available until the United
States acquired title to the land claim
ed by Agnes A. Niver adjacent to the
Port Royal dry dock.
Point of Order.
The point of order was overruled
Thereupon Mr.. Elliott moved to strike
cut the provision.
Mr.. Lentz Oem., o. argued that it
was criminal to suspend an appropria-
ton for a naval station with a pro-
viso at such a time as this. War was
at our doors. We had appropriated $780,
100000 to prepare to meet it. The
Spanish f1otilla was approaching the

Mr.. Dayton Dem, W. Va.) said: 1--WE
could lick six countries like Spain in
the time necessary to build the propos-
ed key wall at Port Royal"
The amendment was lost IS to 60.
When the paragraph, providing for
tie construction of four timber dry
docks at Portsmouth, Boston, Mare ISL
and and League island was reached no
point Cf order was made against It,
but Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the APP
preparations committee, moved to re-
dUce the number Of timber dry docks
to be authorized to three, to be locat-
ed at such navy yards as the secretary
OF the navy might direct.
He was opposed, he declared, to any
attempt to foist upon the house, under
the cry of emergency, new work which
could not stand on its merits. When
he touched the Increases of the navy
he suggested that the battleships could
not be placed into commission in
thirty-siX months. The small torpedo
beats might, on the other hand, be COM
pleted before the war, if war it was to
be, was. over.
Mr.. Boutelle said he would vote for
any increase in the number of torpedo
beats Mr.. Cannon might suggest.
Il suggest then that you strike out
two of the battleships and insert the
equivalent In small boats" (Applause)

The torpedo boat is about 100 TONS and of

The commanders of the various mon
ltors above referred to are drawn from
the faculty of the United States naval
academy at Annapolis, and from steel
inspection, as the emergency is such
that these officers can be better utilized
for active sea service than for the edu-
cational work at the academy and for

The assignment of Lieut. j. L. jayne
to command the torpedo boat Rogers,
announced today, in effect operates as
an acceptance Of this new boat and
brings her into commission. The Ro-
gers recently made her trial run from
Baltimore to Norfolk, but has not for
mally been accepted, although the as
slgnment Of naval commander to her
foreshadows her acceptance and COM
mission.
Secretary Long has deferred to the
judgment of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt as to the color which the
vessels of the navy are to be painted.
Yesterday it was announced that the
snowy white, which had been the dis
t1nctive color Of, and has given the
name to the naval squadrons of the
United States. was to be changed to
piratical black. To this color some OBJ
lection was made by naval officers, as
1T was thought to afford too striking a
target for an enemy's guns.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt this
morning had conference with Capt.
CroWninshield, chief of the bureau of
navigation, al which Mr.. Roosevelt an
nounced that he would leave the mat
ter of painting the ships to the squad
ron commanders, and orders to that eff
feet will be promulgated. 1t seems
quite likely that the color to be select
ed by the squadron commanders will
be a dark green. That color will fur
nish a poor target and the vessels will
distance at sea.

WASHINGTON, March 26 - During
the debate on the naval appropriation
bill today in the house, every utter
ance in favor of aggressive action
against Spain was applauded to the
echo by the crowded galleries. A
strong effort was made to increase the
appropriation for the naval reserves,
but it failed. Another effort to have
the government uniform the naval mill
tia also failed
The main contest of the day was over
disposition to decrease the number
of timber dry docks authorized by the
bill from four to three. 1t led
Mr.. Cannon, chairman of the appro-
priatlonS committee, who made the mo-
ton, TO discuss the whole question of
war preparations and to inveigh
against undue extravaganza. He was
voted down, 7S-107
After the journal had been approved
the consideration of the naval bill was
resumed under the minute rule.
Mr.. Elliott Dem, S. c. moved an
amendment to provide the naval militia
with clothing. He pointed out that the
national guard were provided with uni
forms. If war came the naval militia
would be called upon before the ma
tional guard
Mr.. Boutelle pointed out that the
government had never been called upon

and he did not believe the scope Of
the government appropriations had
been broadened

Dangerous Odors.


From the Boston Transcript.
Some smells are dangerous. a single
sniff of highly concentrated prussic acid
will kill a man as quickly as shot
through the heart. The odor of bad
egg is due to the presence of sulpnurettei
hydrogen. and the objectionable perfumes
of sewers and bone factories are attributa-
Bile chiefly to the same gas. Chemical lab
oratories are famous for bad smells Rer-
zelius. who discovered the element called
selenium once tried the experiment of
permitting a bubble of pure hydrogen Sc
lenide gas to enter his nostril For DAYS
afterward he was not abe to smell stron-.
ammonia the olfactory nerves being tenn
porarily paralyZed. Selenium gas has the
cdor of putrid horseradish. Tellurium is
even worse There is "a story of a physi-
clan whose patient, lady. refused TO take
an abs olutely necessary rest because she
was SO fond of being always on the 20 in
society. He gave her a pill containing "A
small quantity of tellurium. and her breath
was affected 10y il to such an extent that
she was not able to appear in public for a
month. She never guessed what the trou-
bile was. The yo.a;iZed essential oil Of
roses Is supposed to cause rose cold"
This peculiar complaint is so far nervous
in its character that paper roses some
times excite it.
