HOLLAND SUBMARINE BOAT
Fifteen HOURS UNDER WATER
TEST WAS MADE T0 SATISFY GOVERNMENT
OF THE MERITS or THE BOAT.
Air Tanks We're Not Tapped and Much
Longer Stay Could Have Been Made
II Necessary-No Bad Effects
Suffered by the Crew.

The Holland submarine boat Fulton
was submerged in New York harbor
Saturday night, remaining under
water more than fifteen hours. On
board the boat were Rear Admiral
COVE and Lieutenant Arthur MacAr-
thur, who were there in the interest of
The government to see that the test
was fair one, and that no air was
supplied through tubes. After having
oeen under water continuously for
more than fifteen hours, the little
craft arose to the surface at t0:3o
Sunday forenoon, with all on board
well, and surprised to find fierce
storm raging.
The test of the Fulton's staying
qualities was highly satisfactory, not
only to the officers that built her, and
the naval officials present, but to those
who went to the bottom in the boat.
They report there was not the slightest
discomfort to them during their sub
mersion.
Captain Cable of the Holland COM
pany, who was in command, said that
the boat could have remained down for
three months if there was food enough
on board.
Members of the crew say they expert
enced no difficulty in breathing, and
that the air was all that could be de-
sirad n nd ,,noh ,,,rar and ,,,ara hoo tby
than in an ordinary closed room in
which are several persons. Every
piece of machinery worked to perfec-
tion during the night. The men ate
two meals while under the water and
enjoyed them. Most of them obtained
three or four hours sleep.
Rear Admiral Lowe said. "When we
went down | assisted Captain Cable in
making an inspection of the ship.
Then retired, while the crew played
cards and read. Every few hours / was
awakened and made inspections of the
condition. Early in the morning Cap
tain Cable called my attention to the
pressure gauge which indicates the
depth. 1t showed that we were lower
in the water than at high tide at night,
when we submerged. There was moth
ing to show us why it was, but little
while later | noticed that the water,
as we saw it through the headlights,
was very dirty and l imagined that a
storm was blowing. There was no
rock or roll of the vessel to indicate
what was going on"
Continuing, Rear Admiral Lowe said
that the air in the bow was as clean
and as pure as in a house or in the
cabin of a yacht. Mot once" added
the admiral, did notice any sign of
bad air, gas or other impurity. Con-
sidering that we did not draw on the
tanks at all ! consider this is wonder
full. 1t upsets all the theories of the
physicians and scientists, who tell us
that what we did was impossible.
was critical all night and nothing es-
capped me-"
The longest time that any submarine
boat had been under water heretofore
in the United States was three hours.
Lieutenant Harry Colwell kept the
Holland submerged that long in the
Potomac last year. The Fulton had
never been under longer than about
twenty-five minutes, when she made a
two-mile run submerged few weeks
ago

of Ohio asking leave to bring suit In
mandamus TO compel the state board
of equalization to reassess the railroads

opposition was offered by the attorney

Germany Harbors III Feeling Toward CIR ea
Britain.

A London dispatch says that the
anti-Chanberlaiu agitation in Ger.
many has at last extracted semi
official expression of approval from
the North German Gazette, has had
the effect of convincing the British
press that the situation is becoming
serious. Heretofore there had been q
disposition to disregard and belittle
the influence of the agitation. Now
the papers are taking the trouble to
explain that Mr.. Chamberlains words
are not intended to insult or offend
Germany.
The temper OF the German people is
dangerous, says the Morning Post, and
it behoovss our people to be on their
guard. The Germans appear to regard
Great Britain as covetons, rapacious
and barbarous. From that belief to
the corollory that barbarous nation
ought to be suppressed is short and
easy step.

Plan to Make Indians self-suppor,

policy which, it is contended, will
settle the Indian question for genera
tion is announced by Commissioner of
Indian Affairs William Jones, in his
annual report. His plan is to give the
Indian opportunity for self-support,
the same protection of his person and
property as given others, throw him
on his own resources and to enforce on
him realization of dignity of labor and
the Importance of building and main
tanning home for himself.
Mr.. Jones says that at the outset the
Indians must have aid and instruction
and necessaries doubtless will have to
be furnished him until his labor be-
comes productive Until the Indiun
has become part of the community in
which he lives, day schools, the COM
missioner says, should be established
at convenient places, where the Indian
may learn enough for ordinary business
transactions.

Mckinley MONUMENT.
Gratifying Progress In the Matter of Rails
ing Funds Reported.

The executive committee of the Me-
Kinley National Monument association
after lengthy session Thursday Mt
the Office OF Senator Hanna, issued tho
following statement:
AT meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Mckinley National Me-
mortal association, the secretary, Ryer-
son Richie, submitted reports from
many states of the union showing
gratifying progress, and that the ap-
peal to the people to provide funds for
a memorial at Canton is meeting with
very general and hearty response. A
plan for future work was outlined,
and the same will be vigorously pushed
to completion. Reports received indi-
cate that auxiliary organizations have
already been perfected in nearly all
states of the union.
The expression of sentiment from
every quarter of the country indicates
that the people desire to make the
erection of monument at the home of
President Mckinley their first duty,
rs 1t is we'll known he often expressed
to his family and friends his desire to
be buried at Canton, where already
repose the remains of his Children, and
where his beloved wife will rest when
she has departed this life.
In Difference to this statement, az
well as to the propriety of the occasion
as evidenced in the monuments pro-
vided for the lamented Lincoln and
Garfield, 1t will be the purpose of the
association to carry forward the work
of providing for such memorial at his
home. Should more funds be sub
scribed than are necessary for the pur-
pose of erecting memorial compatible
with the dignity and simplicity of the
late presidents life and character, any
surplus will be devoted to national
memorial at Washington.

fTeSluenC ROOSe-
THE PRESIDENTS velt's first official
MESSAGE. communication to
congress is long
one. The president evinces dispo-
sition to cover the whole ground, like
the hard thinking and conscientious
man that we all believe him to be.
This makes the message hard to read,
and gives parts Of it somewhat per-
functory appearance, as if they were
inserted because the matters had to be
treated Of.
We notice, however. that Mr..
Roosevelt has the faculty, which few
men possess in marked degree, of
putting a great deal into short
phrase. "Crimes Of cunning" as
applied to the making Of large fort
unes by iniquitous means; does not
that remind one of President Cleve-
land? Such expressions as this are
epigrams, and become proverbs.
The message deals for the most part
with business matters. 1t starts with
a denunciation Of anarchy, which he
says should be made an offence against
the law of nations, like piracy; all
mankind should band against the an
archist.
He then speaks of the large fortunes
of today, and says, "it is not true that
as the rich have grown richer the
poor have grown poorer Never be-
fore has the average man been so we'll
off as in this country and at the pres
ent time. On the whole and in the
long run, we must all 60 up or down
together.
Overcapitalization of the large cor
porations is real and grave evil, be-
cause Of it's many baleful consequent
ces it is as important to rid the busi-
ness world of crimes of cunning as to
rid the body polite Of crimes Of vio-
lence.
He recommends publicity as the on
ly sure remedy we can evoke. In
view of the absence of uniformity in
state laws governing corporations and
especially railroads, he says that the
federal government should take their
supervision into it's own hands, and
