TO pREvEN E COLLISIONS.

A resident Of Sweden, Count K. A..
Posse, has invented boat stopping
apparatus which will prevent COLI
sions and facilitate the maneuverlng
Of large vessels.
Recent experiments have been made
on a steam launch accommodating one
hundred and sixty persons, with an
engine Of 30 indicated horsepower,
making nine knots an hour.
The new apparatus consists Of shut
ters, applied on the starboard and
port sides, about one-fourth of boat
length from the stern. These can be
opened and shut by means Of lever
applied on the deck and placed so az
to be easily Unanswered by the helms
man. The shutters consist Of two
Quadrilateral steel plates, with spe-
cial packing boxes In the so-called
shutter houses. Experiments showed
that when the launch was going at full
speed, 1t could be stopped in fifteen
seconds at half boat length, by re-
versing and extending the shutters.
The apparatus may be applied to any
steamer. The invention has been
patented in all the leading countries.

SALISBURY TALKS POLITICS.

London, June 26.--Presiding at Q
banquet Of the United Club, given at
the Hotel Cecil today, the Marquis Of
Salisbury, the Prime Minister, said the
Unionist party had arrived at a posi-
tion where 1t might almost be said It
had been to successful. BY some
subtle influence the party had destroy
ed the power Of the opposition. This
was regrettable, because 1t resulted In
the laxness observed In the reduced
majority in the House Of Commons.
which would not happen II there was o
strong and united opposition to keep
the Unionist members to their work.
In regard to South Africa the Prime
Minister said 1t was imperative that the
party remain inhexible in the mission
II had undertaken. Any failure in this
respect would expose England to the
contempt of the world. The country.
Lord Salisbury continued, had to estab-
lish the knowledge In the civilized
world that II its frontiers were violated
a bitter time would follow for those
who committed the violation.

SALARY BILL FINISHED

The conference committee met yes
terday afternoon at o'clock and, at
about 2:45 O'Clock finished the salary
bill. A sigh Of relief could be heard
all over the room. Having finished this
bill. the committee took up the current
lexpense bill and waded into that with
telling effect. So interested were the
members that they went along until
4: 81. o'clock before adJourning. 1t is
likely that the bill will be finished this
afternoon.
There was lively debate Of fifteen
or twenty minutes on the itemized list
of unpaid bills incurred on account Of
bubonic plague. Chairman Monsarrat
Of the subcommittee appointed to in
vestigate. said that he had gone over to
the Board Of Health office and seen the
bills. Among the number he had found
several that were not strictly accord
ing to Hoyle." He had no doubt that,
II he were given more time, he could
find many more of the same kind.
Monsarrat made motion to post
pone the payment OF the bills until the
next session Of the Legislature. Beck
ley seconded this and then came
stormy scene.
Mr.. Emmeluth said the bills should
be thrown out. Not a single one had
been sent to the House and the very
first he knew about the list was when
he saw It In the Senate bill. Mr.. Beck
ley enforced the remarks, saying that
Mr.. Dickey had tried to rush in the
bills on the third reading Of the sala-
ries bill in the House but he had failed.
Just here. the opposition began its
fight, Mr.. Kalauokalani said the gov
eminent should pay its debts and that
people should not be kept waiting for
their money. A committee OF the
Senate had Investigated the bills and
had reported favorably on them.
There was only one thing left to be
done. The bills must be paid. Chair
man Baldwin was OF the same opinion.
Mr.. White also made a hard fight In
favor Of the payment OF the bills by the
Legislature. After more discussion.
the list Of bubonic plague bills and
other small outstanding debts were in
serted in the bill.
The items Of Inspector Of Plumbing
and House Sewers and Assistant 70
Same, postponed from the morning,
were placed in the bill as inserted by

The bill will be passed by tn. Sem
