MORE SUBMARINE BOATS.
Talk of the United States Navy Build
ing Torpedo Boats of the
Holland Type. =

Shortly the board of naval construc-
tion will take up for consideration the
subject of Increasing the number of
submarine torpedo boats. There is like
1y to be 4 division of opinion on the
matter. It is said that Rear Admiral
O'Neil, chief of ordnance. and Chief
Constructor Hiehborn are in favor of
building more boats of that type,
while Rear Admiral Melville, engineer
in chief, and Chief of the Equipment
Bureau Bradford are not disposed to
favor the idea. Secretary Long will
probably be guided largely by the adj
vice of his experts in making recon-
mendations to congress on the sub
ject.
There are some fattering reports
relating to the Holland. which is be-
ginning to see practical service. The
boat, naval officers say, has contrib
uted new and menacing element to
naval operations and has presented
new problems which must be met.
Capt. Folger. commanding the Kear-
sarge, already anticipated this when
he suggested provision of light tor
pedo boats TO guard against the in
vasion BY submarine boats.
1t has evidently become necessary,
say the naval strategists, to add small
picket boats to the cargo of big
ship in order to offset the effect of the
submarine boat. The seven boats of
the latter type now under contract
will provide a liberal strength in this
respect, but some of the naval officers
believe we should continue the work.
Others believe we should await the
result of the trials of the boats now
) under contract and take advantage of
any improvements which may be sug-
gested.

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH,
German Writer Says the Chancellor
Speculated on State Secrets.

herman writer says the Chancellor
Speculated on State Secrets.
A pamphlet has recently appeared in
Germany entitled Bismarck and Bleich-
roeder." Its author, says London Truth,
is a member of the old Junker party of
the name of Diebat Daher, and it pro-
fesses to give some curious details il.
regard to the present fortune of the ex-
chancellor and how it was acquired
After the German war Of $40 the prince
received from the country two estates
of no great value, which, coupled with
his own paternal estate, brought him
in fair revenue. He then left BIech-
roeder to look after his private moneta-
ry affairs, with the result that he now
has fortune amounting to $50, 100000
marks. This, the author estimates. can
Only have been made by stock exchange
speculations, based on the knowledge
that the prince derived frca lis rcsition
at the head of the German government,
and which he con1ided to Bleichroeder.
That, with the cares of empire on his
shoulders, he left his monetary affairs
in the hands of his banker is very pos
sibie, and equally possible is it that his
banker did the best for his client. But
I should require good deal more eNi-
dence than is afforded in this pamphlet
to believe that the prince speculated on
state secrets in partnership with a He
brew fnancier or that his fortune is
now anything like $4,000, 900 marks
What appears to be the remains of q
village of earlier civilization of Amer
lea was discovered at depth of II
feet on the farm of John A. Gray, re-
siding nine miles north of Muncie
Ind, says the Chicago Chronicle, ano
the discovery is attracting the atten,
ton of people for mnes around. Bones
of several skeletons of race of peo-
pie, apparently of giant size, were
found.
Almost all were in a remarkable
state of preservation. Besides these
there were a number of earthen bowls
or pots, several pieces of small iron
rods, one bearing handle of some un-
known material. The discovery wa.
made at the bottom of sand pit,
According to the size OF the bones the
persons averaged a aheight of eight
feet.
When asked relative to the discov.
cry Mr.. Gray told a most remarkable
story, which strangely comedies with
the discovery and which still renders
the find all the more mysterious. He
stated that several months ago two
strange men called at his home and
asked permission to dig in the sand
pit. They being strangers the priv
ilege was not granted. At this the
strangers said that he would rue the
refusal as long as he lived, as there
was an Indian village far beneath the
earth's surface, and near by would be
found buried treasure in gold.

UNDER AN ENGINE.
James Harbour Run Over by Switch Engine

A very distressing accident took place
at the Northwestern water tank last
Monday morning by which James Har-
bour received injuries that will lay
him mp for q long time if indeed, they
do not prove fatal Mr. Harbour had
Just recovered fom an injury that he
had received TO his hand a short time
previous and started to work Monday
for the first time. He was given charge
of switch crew and his engine was
on siding short distance from the
water tank awaiting chance 20 move
up and take water. The engine which
Henry Tender had charge of was at the
tank. Mr. Tender had given the en-
Qineer orders to head ia on track be-
yond the water tank 50 as 70 pull out
some empties Mr. Harour had heard
the orders and knowing that the en-
gine was TO 20 ahead he walked mp
and stood in the middle Of the track
Immediately behind the engine at the
tank, presumably with the intention
of signaling his own engine to move
up as soon as Tenders engine was
through taking water. Standing in the
middle Of the track, as he was, he was
completely hidden from the view Of
the engineer ahead by the tender Of
the engine. Mr.. Harbour stood with
his back 90 the engine ahead Of him
and but a couple of yards from it. When
the engine had finished taking water
the engineer VIM. Finnegan, instead
of moving his engine Immediately a.
head, set the lever to run her back and
pulled the throttle wide open. This
was for the purpose Of throwing out
the water that was in the cylinders
resulting from the condensation of
steam during the inaction Of the en-
Qine-and Is an invariable practice
with engineers all over. The move
was 50 sudden that Mr. Harbour had
no chance TO escape and he was knock
ed down and the teiider Of the enigne
passed over him. IL Is not known just
how the engineer was apprised Of Mr..
Harbours predicament. The only
thing that is known is that he heard
cries and started his engine ahead, thus
again passing over the man beneath.
