VALUE OF TORPEDO BOATS.
To he Thoroughly Tested in the Conn.,
ing Maneuvers In Newport
CIR. ID Waters.

The value of torpedo boats and tor
pedo boat destrOyers for war pur-
poses is to be definitely determined by
the maneuvers of the flotilla, which
has arrived at Newport. The war
with Spain indicated that the destroy
er and torpedo boat were much over
rated, but there are many experts in
the navy who believe these types had
no chance, and say under conditions
permitting torpedo warfare theywould
be found extremely valuable.
Lieut.. Commander j. III. Chandler.
the commander in chief of the ilotilla.
is one of the enthusiastic torpedo boat
experts of the navy. He was specially
selected for this duty, because it was
believed that he would obtain the
greatest development of the boats.
His instructions are to train the Off
GERS and men TO run the boats, try and
develop system ~ tactics for them.
and, in fact, get up some specific plan
for using them in time of war.
There is an absolute lack of knowl-
edge on these points, but by constant
drills and maneuvers results may be
achieved which will cause the navy to
reverse its present opinion of the eff
fectiyeness of this craft.
The fotilla will not participate in
the joint army and navy maneuvsrs off
the eastern entrance of Long Island

six dollars a ton before it is possible

and Mrs. r:unt. New York Il TO
Have NaeaiHcent Structure.

Through the generosity of Miss
Annie Leary, the only American
woman tn he made countess of the
holy see, and of Mrs. Henry Il.
Plant, widow OF the railroad and
Steamboat magnate, the Fathers of
the Blessed Sacrament in New York
city are soon To have a church of
their cwn, the first in the United
States and the only one that will he
permitted by the ruler of the order.
The Fathers of the blessed Sacra-
ment had long desired to come to
New York, but as the ceremonial of
the perpetual alteration of the
blessed sacrament calls. for unusual
splendor, their application for admis-
sion to the diocese found little en-
enlargement.
But Miss l.eary took up their cause
and herself pleaded with Archbishop
Corrigan, and on her promise to be-
friend the order aud Ia help build
church the archbishop gave his CON
sent. Meanwhile the fathers made
their nome in the church of st. Jean
Baptiste, in East Seventy-sixth
street. This little house was re-
decorated AT the expense of Miss
Leary's purse and was fitted with
furnishings in keeping with the serv-
ices, new affairs, stained glass win
dows and marble easements.
Miss Leary recently enlisted the
aid Of Mrs. Plant, and the two wom-

not refuse contributions.
Mrs. Plant only few weeks ago
made proposition to the son of her
husband by his first wife that if he
was agreeable the Tampa Bay hotel,
in Tampa, Fla, should be converted
into Jesuit college.
She said that if her stepson would
give his interest in the hotel for this
purpose she would do the sane, and,
moreover, would cndow the college
with a fund of $l,O00,OOO.
