remarkable contrivance for steering a
torpedo from shore or ship without any
material connection between it and the
operator. He gave a private demonstra-
ton of the workings of his invention in
London last month. In one room Mr..
Orling had fixed up a model torpedo fitted
with a rudder like a fish's tail, while his
controlling apparatus was in an adjoin-
ing chamber; and though there were a
couple of partition walls between the two
objects the spectators were surprised to
see the rudder of the torpedo turning to
starboard or port at the will of the opera
tor The principle of this invention con-
sists in the transmission of motor force
by means of waves of light, similar to the
Y rays. The steering influence is opera
tive over a frontage of about 100 yards in
a distance of two miles, and the greater
the distance the longer becomes the line
of controlling front. The inventor will
shortly give a public demonstration of
the value of his invention for steering
purposes at the mouth of the Thames Is
An invention of dubious practical value
was recently presented and explained be-
fore the Society of Engineers. meeting
at st. Petersburg. 1t is a con-
trivance to automatically reveal
leak on board ship. and consists of a cage
located in the hold, the cage containing a
lever with counterbalancing weight. The
presence OF water diSturbS the balance
and brings the lever in contact with an
electric system which then lights a lamp
in that part of the ship where the leak is
and rings a bell. The Russian Admiralty
has ordered two of th-se leak revealers''
to be placed on board the General Aprak-
sin for experimental purposes. Some
twenty-five years ago an invention in the
line of automatic work was unloaded on
our Navy Department. 1t was an auto
matte alarm pump and ventilator one
placed on each side OIL the shin and the
rolling motion of the vessel was to fur
nish the power to the continuance for
ventilating pumping purposes It
failed to work in practice, but several sets
out of forty-seven purchased were, sent to
Mare Island with an order to place them
aboard ship. The order was obeyed
to this extent that the boxes containing
the pumping mechanism were put on
board some of the ships. The Saranac
carried her automatic alarm ventilating
and pumping cOntrfvanCe carefully packed
away in boxes and slowed in the coal
bunkers, and when the old ship struck a
rock in Puget Sound the $4,000 invention
went down with the ship. 1t might be
said that there was no fair test, but as a
matter of fact the inventor succeeded only
with the Government and was unable to
get it aboard any merchant ship.

IT BEING AC0MMON THING

Washington, Sept 1s.-Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Sehley will succeed Rear
Admiral Howison in command of the
South Atlantic station He has no pro-
test to make against the assignment,
which the navy department selected for
him. As sailor, he will obey orders
without murmur. He called upon the
president this afternoon and told him
that he had no complaint to make; that
he would cheerfully assume the duties of
any post selected by the authority which
it had been his pride to serve for forty
three yeas. Rear Admiral Schley was
very reticent when he left the White
House after his interview with the presi-
dent, and. except to say that he always
obeyed orders, would make no statement
as to the interview and offered no COM
raent upon the assignment to the COM
mand Of the South Atlantic station. To
he rear admiral's friends the president
said that he regards the station as Of
great Importance, especially at this time,
in view of the situation in South Africa
and the unsettled condition Of affairs in
some Of the South American countries.
F Observation-Disclosures OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Far from regarding the assignment as
slight, the president told Admiral
Schley's friends that he regarded it as
a mark o distinction. Besides, he said, it
was the only way to crafty the admirafs
desire for sea service. The Asiatic squad
ron is in command of Rear Admiral Wat
son, and Rear Admiral Farquhar. who is
Admiral Schleys senior, has been selected
for the command of the North Atlantic
squadron. Rear Admiral Sampson leaves
it after the Dewey reception in New
York. The only other squadron common
surate with the dignity of a flag officer
of Rear Admiral schley's rank, there
fore, is the South Atlantic. 1t is probable,
in view of the Importance attached TO
the station at this time, that some addi-
tionaI ships will be attached to the squad
ron. which now consists of only the flag
ship Chicago, the Wilmington and the
Machias.
The Brooklyn, which was Admiral
schley's flagship off Santiago, may be
ASSIGNED to the South Atlantic station and
again become the admirafs flagship In
peaceful times in place or the Chicago.
Admiral Schley will go to New York as
private citizen to attend the Dewey cele-
bra ton, and will return here in time to
be one of the guests at the presidents

| cordial endorsement.
With intense satisfaction
we commend the glorious rec
ord made by our army and
navy and the unexampled
gallantry of General Funston
and our Kansas volunteers in
the Philippine campaign.
1t is our deliberate convic-
ton that when on that May
morning a year ago Dewey
sailed into Manila bay and
won the greatest naval vic
tory of modern times, the
American flag was, in accord
ance with the laws of every
civilized nation, and in accord
ance with the express desire,
as it is written in the march
of human events, of an over
ruling Providence. rightly
placed upon the Philippine
Islands. That this right has
been recognized by every civil
lied power, ratified by the SEN
ate of this country by solemn
treaty with the power recog-
nized by the world as the ma
ton owning the Philippines.
That our right to be there
and oppose armed Insured
ton is no longer a party ques-
ton; to uphold the govern
ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in It's efforts
to establish a stable govern
ment there, is loyalty; to op-
pose it is disloyality. We
condemn and denounce the
unpatriotic and un-American
utterances of all who are Civ
ing encouragement to the Fill
pinos in their resistance to
the American flag. Never yet
has the old flag reiterated
before any armed foe, and
wherever raised there it must
stay.
The aggregation in this
county known as the Fusion
party is neither moved by,
Tor in possession of, a con-
viction or moral principle.
1t has abandoned every issue
which brought it into life
save the greed for Office, and
it now seeks by having it's
platform Of treason adopted
by the people Of this county
to bring the fair name and
fame of Sedgwick county into
disrepute and to disgrace the
name Of the gallant soldier
which it bears.
We are opposed to aggre-
gated capital, whether organ
lied in the form of trusts,
corporations or otherwise for
the purpose of controlling
the industrial affairs of the
people, and we demand of
our party in this state and in
the nation such legislation
which will at all times be for
the best interests of all the
people. That it is our con-
victiOn that every great ques-
ton in which the people of
this country have been inter
ested has been in the past
and will be in the future,
settled in the interest of the
people, by that genius Of
justice and right which pre-
walls in and which brought
the Republican party into
existence; that it has the
ability and integrity to prop
erly settle and adjust the
relations of capital and labor
IN the interest of the people.
