Report of Board of Inspection on the
Submarine Boat Holland.

The report Of the board of inspection and
survey on the recent official test of the
submarine boat Holland in Peconic bay
November q. has been given out by the Sec
retary of the Navy. The board reports that
after thorough inspection of the plans
and of the vessel It was impressed with the
excellent condition Of the boat and all Of
its appliances. The tests were made to as
certain whether the boat was able to come
up to the requirements for a submarine
boat for the navy the requirements having
been drawn up by the strategy or war
board Of the Navy Department, of which
Rear Admiral Sicard was president. The
board of inspection and survey report that
all OF the requirements of the department
were fulfilled by the performance of the
Holland on this trial.
The following were the requirements;
"O Have three torpedoes in place in
boat.
'(2) Have all arrangements made for
charging torpedoes without delay.
''(3) Be prepared to fire torpedo at full
speed when submerged, as we'll as on sur
face.
20 Have crew exercise by actual prac-
tce so as to be able to make required sub
merged runs and steer a straight course
In order to make trial submerged run Of
two miles, 1t is recommended that two
marking buoys be placed in lower or Sandy
HOOK pay, a mile apart, and that a boat to
serve as torpedo target be anchored near
one OF these buoyS, so that the Holland,
after mile under water. can come up to
the surface for observations, discharge her
torpedoes and then. diving again, can re-
turn to first buoy. This will complete her
tWo-mile underwater run. A measure of
her efficiency Will be shown by the number
of times it is necessary for her to come to
the surface for observations
Chief Engineer John Lowe, United States
navy. was specially ordered to witness and
report upon all the preliminary trials OF
the Holland and the final official test His
report has also been given out by the Sec
retary. dated November 7th instant Engi-
neer Lowe says:
Il report my belief. after full examina-
ton, that the Holland is a successful and
Yeritabie submarine torpedo boat capable
Of making veritable attack upon the en-
emy unseen and undetectabe and that
terrible potency which the government
must necessarily adopt into its service"
Mr.. Lowe says it IS his opinion that this
government should at once purchase the
Holland. and not let the secrets of the in
vention get out of the United States" and
that the government ought to create a sub
marine torpedo boat station for the pur-
pose of practice and drilling of crews. and
says. we need right off and right now fifty
submarine torpedo vessels in Long Island
sound to protect New York, preserve the
peace and to give potency to our diplo-
macy
The Holland Will be brought around to
Washington the early part Of December
river for the benefit of Congress and the

PROSPERITY FOR THE SOUTH.
What the Result of the Recent EIec-
tiOns Means.

Major y W. Wills, postmaster of Nash
VILE. Tenn, and for many years largely
Interested IN manufacturing iron in the
south. Is IN Washington in attendance upon
the pOstmasters' convention. He was asked
by a reporter of The Star what effect he
thought the recent elections in Ohio and
elsewhere would have upon the manufac
turing interests Of the southern country.
Major Wills replied A most encouraging
effect, and In no section of the country
Is the result of the republican victories
hailed with greater delight and satisfac-
tion. Every manufacturer, every promi-
neat progressive business man, every hon
est laburing man wanted to see the ad-
miniStration indOrSed. 1t means, contin-
ued he, ''the reelection of President Nc
kinley. which means Sl5 to SO iron at the
furnace door for the next five years to
come 1t means bread and meat and the
highest wages to every laboring man, and
the comfort and happiness of the millions
Of people dependent upon the laborer. 1t
means multiplied industries, more furnaces,
more rolling mills. steel plants and cotton
manufactures throughout the entire south
where he raw material is found. No longer
is the cry go west President Mckinley,
his wonderful administration, sound money,
annexation OF the Philippine Islands. pros
perity and pr0gressiveness Is. In an un-
broken sentence, The watchwOrd of the pro-
gressiVe south.
The great victory in Ohio is in q double
sense an Endorsement OF the administration.
l. means that the honest old soldier boy
Of the civil war wanted to emphasize his
Endorsement Of the administration of Mr..
II. Clay Evans, commissioner of pensions,
in making the pension roll Roll Of
Honor It was heralded far and wide by
the pension sharks that unless President
Mckinley dismissed Commissioner Evans
Ohio would be lost. and q demand was
made. so the papers said upon the Presi-
dent TO take such action to save Ohio and
the administration. but President McKin-
ley. true to his convictions and to the
right. knew the true loyalty of the honest
old soldiers, and stood by the commissioner
in his effort to obey the laws and be loyal
TO his oath and hts country. And Ohio

FRANKFORT, KY, November 16.-Tay-

the members of the legislature sounding
them as to how they would vote on a con-
test IL the state election boards should
throw out Knox. Johnson or Pulaski coun-
ties, and also LOO votes cast in Nelson

said four democratic members Of the house
and at least six democratic senators have
been found so far who will not vote to seat
Goebel.
This movement on Taylor's side is con-
strued to Indicate the opinion that Goebel
will be given certificate of election from
the state board The story that Goebel has
decided to abandon the fight and to enter
fight against Blackburn for senator is
pronounced absurd by friends of both, and
is laughed at by both Goebel and Black
