MR.. LIQUIDS DENOMINATION.

n EPUBLICANS of the Fifth District in re-
~ nominating Mr.. Loud for Congress not only
showed just appreciation of the merits of the
man who has ably and faithfully represented them
in the past but also made evident the fact that they
understand how important it is for their district and
for the State to retain in service at the national capital
representative who by his experience there has ac-
CURED prestige among Congressman, is familiar with
the methods of transactng business and has the re-
spec and confidence of the great leaders of all parties
The success of Mr.. Loud in his first campaign for
Congress was proof of his excellence as cam
paigner and his ability vote getter He was ptted
against one OF the most popular Democrats, and was
himself at that time untried in natonalegisation His
repeated reflections since have been due to what he
has accomplished at Washington much more than to
any canvassng tactics at home His record has been
his best campaign document, and has won as we'll as
merited the approval of his party and of all ndepend-
ent voters among his constituents.
At the present time Mr.. Loud's rank in the House
of Representatives is most enviable one He has
become one of the foremost of the younger leaders
the Republican side, is of Speaker Reeds most
trusted eutenants, and has been rewarded for his
efficiency and his ability by appointment to the very
responsible post of chairman of the Committee on
Postofices
1t would have been great b1under entaing loss
upon the whole State IT the Republicans of the Fifth
had failed to renominate their distinguished represen
tative The opposition to him fortunately came from
sources other than the body of the people, and though
headed by M. H. de Young and D. NJ Burns, as
sisted by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
was able to control only seventeen in the nom
rating convention, while Mr.. Loud received ninety
nine, and was afterward nominated by reclamation
His denomination was, therefore, victory over the
antagonism Of bosses and corporations. 1t was
triumph for honest politics and for the true interests
OF the State The people of the Fifth to be con-
graduated

Jemappes and Valmy, which could not
make over twelve knots Similar man.
euvers In Great Britain have given four
teen knots as the speed of suuadrons

The electric launch recently ordered nv
Russia In England was shipped to Kron.
stadt. July 13. The contract was to make
at half-power ~ knots per hour for ten
hours, but she made 51s knots Boats are
now being built which will run so knots

storage battery.
A trial course of two miles In length is
to be laid off in 20 fathoms, near Ply
mouth off either Devon or the Cornish
coast. 1t is to be used as a trial course
for large ships, the experience Of late
years having shown that deer
water is required to make the heavy
draught armored ships and cruisers get
all the speed of which the engines are
capable under most economical conditions
In shallow water 1t takes more power to
drive the ship at a given speed than of
sCundings.
The new French battleship Suffren OF
II $40 tons is to be fitted with 20 Niclause
water-tube boilers to develop 16 500 horse
power. The total cost of the ship. includ-
ing armament, is estimated at S., 591, 755.
The Marceau built In 1887 is also to have
a set of the same type of boilers. The
Belleville boiler is gaining in popularity
in Great Britain, but the Niclause boiler
is now almost entirely displacing the
Belleville in the French navy.
There is great activity In the shipyards
Among the orders placed by the Govern
ment are six large torpedo boat destroy
ers of thirty-three knots speed to be
ready for service early next year Orders
have also been received from Russia,
Spain, Brazil and the Argentine.
A novel scheme of naval defense has
been suggested to the War Office and Ad-
miralty of Great Britain by Major Cen
eral Crease. He proposes placing a num-
Der of floating battle forts at certain i'm
portant localities along the coast of the
kingdom the forts to be 1850 tons, 400
feet length, 100 feet beam draft, liz feet
and speed of knots. They are to have
a side armor of IL inches tapering to 8
inches below water. Four two-story tur-
rets will carry the heaviest guns made.
To each battle fort are to be attached two
battleship exterminators of 5000 tons, I'M
arHoreu, with guns Soiely 10 repel tot-
pedc-boat destroyers, and their only
means of attacking battleships would be
by ramming and torpedoes. They are to
be 800 feet length, 39112 feet beam and with
sc, 600 horse power speed of IS knots is
anticipated.
The cost of French battleshlps is far
out of proportion to that of United States
ships Of the same class, as the following

THE DEMAND.

Another era's dawning. Things that charmed
the world before
Are losing their attractions, hour by hour.
The idol of the masses finds his glory almost
Ger,
Like the fainting fragrance of whitening
flower
No more the politician moves the multitude
to cheers;
No more for orators the music plays;
No more men wait with laurels for successful
fnanciers.
You've got to be a hero nowadays.
Dame Clio takes her pen in hand and turns
another page
The records of a marvellous year to trace,
And thousands crowd and struggle her atten-
ton to engage,
But the old time winners aren't in the race.
In vain the mountebank proclaims his presence
with drum;
In vain doth art perform her polished lays.
The echoing of the cannon makes all else seem
sadly dumb.
You've got to be hero nowadays.

The maxim that "the speed of a squad
ron Is governed by it's slowest ship" was
practically illustrated during the recent
French naval maneuvers, which also in
cidentally brought out the fact that there
is vast discrepancy between trial speed
and sea speed. A squadron consisting of
seven armored vessels and three cruisers,
practiced keeping station passing at
the highest uniform speed before the forts
of Brest. The speed was found to be
twelve knots, which, compared with the
credited trial speeds, is a rather consider
able reduction. The names of the fleet
in the squadron and their paper speeds
were as foIlows

AN AVERAGE VERDICT.
It Was Struck Through a Difference of Opinion Among the Jury
 on Damages.


 While the lawyers were waiting for court to open, and before they flew at each others throats, they exchanged d few stories of the profession.
 The strangest trial in which was ever engaged was one of my first, said grizzed- headed attorney. T was counsel for the plaintiff in a suit brought to recover damages caused by, runaway horse. My client had been knocked down and slightly bruised, not very much, just enough to base lawsuit on had very strong case: in fact, there was practically no defense, and the dedend- ant Was rich man, so 1 asked for $2, GOO, hop ing to get half. Well, when the jury came in they rendered a verdict for the plaintiff with damages assessed at S9. .687. Of course the judge promptly set the verdict aside as excessive, and l had to begin all over again. Some days later l met the foreman of the Jury and asked him how in the world they arrived at such verdict.
 Well, 1 don't quite understand it my self, he said, scratching his head. We all agreed for the plaintiff on the first vote, but each fellow had his own ideas as to the damage. l was in favor of S1 ,000 another fellow thought 1t ought to be S2 000, and an- other stuck out for S700, and we were get ting all tangled up, when one of the jury sug- gested that we strike an average

the government should appoint Maj. Handy's successor at the earliest pos sible moment. There is, he says, ready market for American goods throughout the world, and it is to the interest of business men in this country that there should be good showing in Paris. NJ. Gallia urges the immediate appropriation of an adequate sum to secure representation in keeping with the immense resources of the United States. Two millions of dollars at least is required for this purpose. America is now the only country without spec ial commissioner in Paris for this pur pose. The two men most prominently named for this important post at pres ent are Ferdinand Peck, of Chicago. and S. T. Everett of Cleveland.
 M. Gallia has found a most cordial welcome in America and is well satis- fled with the result of his visit. which has had but one unpleasant incident. Owing to mistake he was sub- jeeted to a thorough searching of his effects, while stopping at the Waldorf a few weeks ago, the supposition being that he was a Spanish spy. It is need less to say that no discriminating docu- ments were found, and that upon learn ing the identity of the distinguished citizen of France sincere apologies were immediately rendered. M. Gallia's tact was shown upon this occasion. Had he cabled to Paris of the indignity to which he had been subjected it might, at time so critical, have changed the tone of the entire Partisan press.

 Later NJ. Gallia became interested in the firm of A. Roederer & Co., of Riems, one of the greatest champagne houses Tn the world. He travelled extensively In the interests of this firm, visiting the United States and other countries
 On leaving Roederer NJ. Gallia de- voted himself to pushing the brand of champagne which bore his namc He became one of the principal wine mer- chants of Riems.

He then became connected with the principal newspapers of Paris. For them he vis- ited various countries. inspecting mines, inventions and railroads, and promoting the commercial interests of France throughout the world.
