Immense Purchases of Bombay Cot
ton Being Made by the Jnpa-
ncse Cotton Spinners.

Tacoma, Wash, April 29.-The
steamship Oopack brings news that
the shipments of raw cotton from the
United States to the orient will be
greatly affected by immense pur-
chases of Bombay cotton, just made
by the Cotton Spinners' union, EN-
bracing the largest cotton manufac-
turers of Japan. Their agents have
bought 100000 bales to be shipped
within the next few months. Of this
quantity, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
will carry 100000 bales at ~ rupees a
ton. Many manufacturers intend to
mix Bombay with American cotton
while others will use the former ex-
clusively. 1t is laid down in Japan
cheaper than American cotton.

The Holland Submarine
Boats as MaUa/ VeSSeb
England Is Building Five of These Interesting and
Destructive Little Terrors


pedo boat has had half fair trial in
actual warfare, she bids fair to be
superseded by the submarine. This
quiet little turtle-back is exceeding
ly businesslike. Starting from an abb
solutely safe distance, and submerg-
ing herself in that cheapest and most
effective armor salt water Ca SUBJ
stance as superior to nickel steel for
turning the point of shell as that
is to tissue paper) this little viper
can, if necessary, clamp torpedoes TO
the battlcship's keel as thickly as
buttons on soldiers blouse.
The Holland submarine torpedo
boat, which is one of the most inn
portant additions to our navy, is a
steel shell "a feet long and pointed
at the ends. She is 1917 feet wide.
Within the comparatively small
space inside is slowed away 90 tons
of machinery and fittings. This APP
paratus consists of 30 horse power
gasoline engine, which runs the pro-
pellcr when the boat is on the SUR
face of the water. The engine also
charges the storage batteries with
electricity. The electrical power is
drawn upon to propel the boat below
the waters surface when the gaso-
line engine could not be operated, as
it would vitiate the air inside the ves-
sci.

|REAT BRITAIN has taken kind
Wy to another Yankee inven-
ton, the "IIolland" submarine
boat, and five of them are now build
ing for the English navy. Other Eu-
ropean nations have spent millions
in experimenting with various spe-
cics of submarine boats, with prac-
tically no success. Each was dcsir-
Gus of perfccting a boat that would
be their own, but England had no
scruples along this line. She wanted
the newest and best that was known
in naval warfare, but she waited for
others to do the expensive expert
menting. After it had been done she
looked over each of the boats pro-
duced by European inventors, and
then took the Holland" from his side
of the Atlantic.
Under the heading of submarine
boats, the English admiralty report
says:
Five Of the type invented by Holland
have beer ordered, the first Of which
should be delivered next autumn. What
tho future value Of these boats may be in
naval warfare can Only be a matter of
conjecture. Exp rimouts with these boats
will assist the admiralty in assessing their
true value. The question Of their employ
mont must be studied IN all its develop
mcuts, and their mechanism carefully

PLAN OF INSURANCE.
The State May Decide to Carry It's
Own Risks.

There was a conference between Cover
nor Durbin and the heads of a number of
State institutions yesterday morning, at
which a discussion was had of the FEAST
tility of applying TO the States institutions
the plan OF insuring them with the State
Many large manufacturing plants set aside
annually a fund for making good losses
that occur to any part OF the plant thus
doing away with insurance in outside COM
panies. Auditor Hart said much might be
urged on both sides of the proposition to
have the State adopt this plan. The meet
ing also took up the question OF whether
the policies carried by the several institu-
lions of the State are in good companies
Every such policy will be carefully ex-
amined with a view 10 ascertaining wheth-
er il is good. w. c. Van Arsdel president
Of the board OF trustees of the Boys Re
form School al Plainfed, favors the plan
of letting the State insure it's own build

sides the Governor and Mr.. Van Arsdel,
were John NJ. Spann president of the
board of trustees of the predetermined In
stitute at Fort Wayne, and A. H. Graham,

BATTLE OF ORAT0RY.
Notre Dame and Butler Will Debate
This Evening.

The third intercollegiate debate between
Butler and Notre Dame will be held this
evening in the Butler College chapel, begin
ming at o'clock. The debate has attracted
unusual interest among college circles, this
contest being next in point of rivalry TO the
debate with De PAW. Although Notre
Dame has defeated Butler in the two
previous debates, last year and the year be-
fore, the prospects this year favor Butler,
as the question is one that the Butler team
won on at De Paw. Notre Dame has dem
onstrated her oratorical as well as argu-
mentative ability and whatever the result
may be the contest will be close and in
teresting. The team which represents Notre
Dame will arrive this afternoon and con-
sists of II. p. Barry. 3. V. Kanaley and G.
w. Happier, all experienced debaters. But
Ter will be represented by the same team
that debated at De Pauw last month, Orval
Mehring, George Kern and l.. $. McElroy.
Orval Mehring is the most experienced de-
batter on the team. He participated in the
three debates with De PAW and the two
former with NOtre Dame. The other two
debaterS are not so experienced this being
their first year on the team. The question
for discussion is: Resolved, That the per-
manent retention of the Philippine Islands
by the United States is undesirable" But
Ter submitted the question and Notre Dame
chose the negative. Much enthusiasm is
being shown among the students. mass
meeting was held in the chapel yesterday
morning. Several speeches were made by
students and members OF the faculty. Iells
and songs were practiced. The students Will

WEIGHS SIXTEEN TONS
ARMOR PLATE DOOR FOR AMERICAN
NATIONALS VAULT.
a Big Task to Get 1t to the Bank
Moving Van Broke Through
Pogue's Run Bridge.

The movers of heavy materials in Indian
apolis, although prepared for almost any
emergency in the ordinary run of business,
are sometimes handicapped in the matter
of moving specially built pieces, and such a
case was illustrated yesterday.
The American National Bank. at No %
East Washington street is installing a
large safety deposit vault. made of armor
plate steel. from the Carnegie steel works.
Work on the vault has been in progress for
several months under direction of experts
from the company. few days ago the
door for the vault arrived over the c.. II. &
ID. and preparations for putting it into
place were made. The first thing was to
get the door TO the bank. The Hogan
Transfer Company had the contract for
moving the door. and it was found neces-
sary to take the car from the depot TO the
yards, where there is a large derrick, in or
der to get it off the car.
1t was placed upon one of the low
wheeled moving trucks. and with several
teams the truck was pulled from the yards
north on New Jersey street In crossing
the bridge at Pogue's run difficulty was
encountered. The weight of the door broke
the bridge allowing the rear wheels of the
truck to drop through the floor. The heavy
mass of steel slipped off behind, but for
tunately the edge caught on the steel abut-
ments of the bridge thus preventing it
from going through into the run. Heavy
jacks were secured and the door raised
so that the truck could be taken out and
the door was then returned TO the truck
and the trip TO the bank was made by way
of South street and Senate avenue, over
stone culvert. The door was, with the work
of several men and jacks, slowly worked

The door weighs sixteen tons GO, 900
pounds), and is said TO be the largest single
piece of steel work ever brought to this
city. IL is seven feet high, seven inches in
diameter and fifteen inches in thickness. 1t
is, for the purpose intended, The largest,
with one exception, ever made. Only five
others of this variety have been completed.
and all but one of these are one inch less in
diameter. The door is composed of six
plates, four making up the main body and
those of the front and back. The material
is the same as is used in the protection of
armored battleships. and by the company is
claimed 10 be the only dynamite-proof ma
terial manufactured The method of manu-
facture is said to make II 26-100 times
and on account of the size IL is claimed the
new vault will be about fifteen times
stronger than any vault in the State.
The door will be hung in few days, and
when properly adjusted will, although of
such great weight. be so that a child may
swing it. The vault will not be finished for
more than a month, and il will be some
time in July before the deposit boxes are in
place and finished ready for business.
