yer Republicans agreed upon a
single ticket the union is more
apparent than real. Each faction
distrusts the other and each will
knife the other more Or less dur
ing the campaign, and especially
on election day. On the other
hand the Peoples party is rent
asunder into two warning factions,
each of which has put a ticket in
the field. Thus the Democrats
get one important office-the
governorship-while the silver
Republicans get four-supreme
judgeship, congressman, secretary
of state, and auditor. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if the ticket
which, under more favorable con-
ditions could have been elected,
will be able to pull through. -
Moscow Star, Democrat.
1t is to be regretted that the
Populists could not join the other
silver parties in a fusion for sill
yer; but the party leaders placed
their personal ambitions above all
else and their conventions de-
generated into selfish fight for
leadership between Congressman
Gum and the abortion senator Of
two years ago. Both seem to
have come out on top-in their
own estimation-for both factions
put up state tickets and the voters

spectacle of the great reform ~

The political potpurri in which
Idaho has sizzled for the past week |
has proven unsatisfactory to the
true Democrats. Those of the |
Jeffersonian stripe, who hold party |
ties sacred next only to affection
for country and home, and who
would not fuse with the ammacu- |
late angels were they not Bour-
bons, are agitating the matter of
placing before the people

are a number of straightout Dem
ocrats who believe in free trade
but not free silver, and such
are requested to meet and discuss
the advisability of further action.
Boise Statesman, Republican.
1t is to be regretted that a per-
feet fusion of silver forces was not
consummated. To harmonized
disaffected factions and centralized
on the point of subverting all is
sues for that of silver, was the
earnest wish of the majority of
Democrats and silver Republicans
in state convention. The domi-
nant element in the Peoples party
ranks forbade this outcome, and
we fear their party, more than
any other political organization,
will find occasion to repent such

The fact that the Populist party

er Than Reported.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Proctor, of Vermont, and his compan-
ion, Col. Myron M. Parker, who have
been spending some time in Cuba, re-
turned to Washington tonight at 1875.
Senator Proctor was met at the station
by friends and was driven at once to
his residence. Senator Proctor said to
an Associated Press reporter that he
did not desire to discuss his trip at
present, and that further than to COM
mend the good work Miss Clara Bar
ton was doing in Cuba he had said
nothing in the way of an interview.
Col. Parker said to an Associated
Press reporter: I'VE went to Sagua la
Grande, Matanzas, Cienfuegos and Ar
temisa, province of Pinar del Rio.
was with Senator Proctor most of the
time. The stories of the amount of
suffering in the island of Cuba have
not been exaggerated. 1t is intense
over every portion of the island. The
reconcentrados are gathered in the viii
! lagos, where they can be seen in all
their pitiable aspects. 1t is, perhaps,
greater in Matanzas than elsewhere.
What impressed me most, and would
doubtless impress any visitor to Cuba,
is the utter desolation Of the island.
Miss Barton is doing great work among
the reconcentrados and is to be praised
for her heroic efforts in that direction.
We were well treated by the Span
iards.''
In answer to the question as to what,
in his mind, should be done to put an
end to the awful suffering, Col Par
ker would not commit himself, but said
significantly that he had no doubt this
government would take the best course.
He commended most highly the action
pursued by Consul General Lee, who.
he said, was man fitted for his place
in every respect, from what he had
seen of his administration of affairs
there.
THE matter Of his recall reached
there just a little before the contradic-
ton, and was not credited. 1t was
denied that his return to this country
was wanted" he said. In regard to
the question as to whether the i'm
preston prevailed in Havana that the
Maine was destroyed by external in
fiuence, Col. Parker spoke guardedly.
He said, however, that the same i'm
preston prevailed there as here There
was little or no war talk, and the De
Lone incident was not mentioned there
during his visit. He left Washington

Cessation of Sunday Activity at
League Island Yard.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 13-
There was general absence at League
island navy yard today of the unusual
activity which prevailed last Sunday
and the Sunday previous. A few work.
men were busy about the yard and
aboard the ships, but their work was
of a finishing character. The Mianto-
nomah, Katahdin, Minneapolis and Co.
lumbia are now all but ready to sail
within day or two, if SO ordered, and
whatever additional repairs may be
necessary can be attended to en- route
A few more men are needed for the
Katahdin and Minneapolis, and a de-
tachment of marines under Lieut.. Full
Ter are expected shortly to complete
the Columbia's complement All the
warships are coaled and have most of
their stores aboard, and about all that
remains to be done now is to replenish
their stock of ammunition. This will
be done at the government magazine,
a short distance below the navy yard,
and all the vessels then will be ready
for sailing at moments notice The
Columbia is anchored in the river, and
as soon as her marines arrive will
steam to the magazine.
The government tug Leyden is ex-
pected tomorrow or Tuesday, and will
tow a large barge of coal to Key West.
1t is reported that the government is
negotiating for the purchase of a num-
Der of large barges in this city to be
used in carrying coal and supplies.
The work Of recruiting landsmen, or
dinary seamen and machinists will
continue until further orders.
There has been a rush of applica-
tons for the army and marine branch
eS of the service all week. but the Off
GERS in charge are accepting only those
who pass a most rigid examination
In consequence, only a few are being
chosen, and these are men who come
up to every requirement.
Comparative quiet also prevailed at
the other establishments in this vicin..
fty capable of executing government
work. The officers of the Midvale
Steel Works are always reticent about
work going on there, but from other
sources it was learned that extra forces
Of men have lately been working on
projectiles.
No Sunday work is under way at the
Frankfort arsenal
Last week an order was received
there to work ten hours a day, but
whatever contract was involved has
probably been completed, for the order
was rescinded last night. The average
daily output Of cartridges there is 3S,-
600 rounds, but during the ten-hour
udy luiS coulu pe Increased by S.UUO or
10000. 1t is the only arsenal in the
United States where small ammunl-
tion is made. The number of employees
has been gradually increased of late
to from 600 to 700 workmen.
At the Schuylkill arsenal nothing was
going on. This arsenal merely makes
clothing and tents for the regular army
and sometimes for the state militia,
and 1t employs about ninety persons.
There was work today at Cramps

NO "NEwPORT" TORPEDO
Commander Mclean Explains the
Explosives Used in the Navx

NEWPORT, R. l., March 13-L,eu-
tenant Commander Mclean was inter
viewed at the torpedo station TODAY in
regard to the report that the Maine
had been blown up by Newport"
torpedo. The commander is authority
for the statement that there is no such
thing as a Newport" torpedo.
The station here is largely for ex-
perimental purposes in the way of try
ing and testing torpedoes, and it has
at various times experimental with
the Whitehead, Howell and Cunning
ham torpedoes. The Whitehead tor
pedo, which ist he projectile in gen
eral use in the United States navy. all
though the Howell is used to some ex-
tent, Is an auto-m mobile device. In the
center Of the projectile, which is made
in sizes of sixteen and eighteen feet
In length, as a cylinder for the re-
ception Of compressed air, which feeds
the mechanism in the tail of the torpe-
do. In front Of the cylinder for COM
pressed air is placed the war head,
which usually contains in the neigh
borhood of 22O pounds of gun cotton.
When the torpedo Is prepared for ac-
tion it is placed in firing tube. The
firing tube, being discharged, throws
the projectile distance of fifteen or
twenty feet, and the compressed air
the motive power for the mechanism
in the tail. Enough compressed air
is stored to carry the torpedo 1000 or
1900 yards. The distance which the
torpedo is intended to travel may be
gauged by the the adjustment of the
mechanism in the tail Of the projec-
tile When the projectile strikes an
object the gun cotton is exploded by
detonation by means Of a charge of
illuminate Of mercury In the form Of a
cap. The force Of the discharge Of 22O
pounds Of gun cotton is sufficient, If
properly placed, to sink warship, as
was demonstrated in the Brazilian in
surrection, when a single torpedo de-
stroyed four compartments Of the bat
tleship Aquidaban, sinking that vessel,
although she was able, under her own
steam, to get from her moorings to the
dock, few hundred feet away
The Howell torpedo differs from the
Whitehead only I'm the mechanism,
while the Cunningham torpedo is pow
erful, swift and destructive, but un-
controllable.

however, that these mines will be Of
little use, owing to the great depth Of
water in the river, there being over
ten fathoms in the channel from the
entrance at New Castle to within a
short distance of the navy yard. Hun
dreds Of men have visited the navy
yard during the last week to enlist,
but as there Is no enlistment bureau
here, valuable men have been lost to
the navy. A request will be forwarded
at once to the navy department for the
establishment Of such a station for the
