TORPEDO BOATS.
Compared with Battlsships for Effective
 ness as Fighting Machines.

Not many years since it was thought by some that it was better to build 50 torpedo boats costing $10O,- 900 than one battleship costing 5,0O0,000. No doubt the tor pedo boat, with her deadly torpedo Representing subaquatic ordnance), if she can lay out the game in ad- vance, can get the better of the bat tleship. But the view is prevalent now that, while there should be some torpedo boats, the bulk of the money and effort put into naval and coast defenses should go into battleships and Notifications. The battleship can go anywhere, while the torpedo boat, because she cannot carry much coal, is tied to the home port, and in bad weather, when the battleship is comparatively steady, the torpedo boat would, at any speed, tear herself to pieces in the heavy seaway. In the same way, in land defense, the bulk of the money and effort is now put into permanent defenses and field ar tillery.-Engineering Magazine.

Auditors Biennial Report.

Auditor of State T. c. Monroe has submitted to Gov. Davis re- port covering the transactions of the auditors office for the two years ending September 30, 1902. The auditor estimates the ordinary expenses of the state government for the next two years at about $1 ,000,000. The report shows the present indebtedness of the state, exclusive of the school fund, to con- sist of 137,500 of the funding bonds of 1891, of which sum $102,- 500 is in the permanent endowment fund of the University of Arkansas, and the remainder, 35 bonds of $1,000 each, is held by private in- dividuals, These bonds are being gradually retired, as the holders thereof, from time to time, see fit to surrender them to the state for their face value in cash. Although not due until 1929, it is probable that the last of them will be re- deemed long before that date.

Col. Hills Recommendation.

In his annual report to the gov ernor Hon. Frank Hill, who has just retired from office, makes the following recommendations for the management of the worlds fair ex- hibit: q recommend that appro- priation be made for a suitable ex- hibit of the state products at the centennial exposition at St. Louis in 1904, commemorating the pur- chase of the Louisiana territory. This will be, in my opinion, the most effective advertising medium that has ever been offered to place the state in its true position before the world. A liberal appropriation for this purpose would, in my judg- ment, be one of the most profitable investments the state could make at this time. In my judgment, the disbursement of such appropriation should be placed in the hands of the agricultural bureau, and the entire management of the exhibits should be placed in the hands of. the com- missioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, who, under our statutes, is already paid for such service without encroaching on the snnrOnriatiOn ,,

PHASE IN PATHOLOGY.
MT. James Mooney Investigates Early
 Portuguese Settlements.

Portuguese Settlements.
 MT. James Mooney, who has just returned from Indian territory, where he has been making study of the kiowa tribe for the bureau of ethnology, has also, during his career as an anthropologist, done consider able work in the way of Investigating the Portuguese settlements along the Atlantic coast of the United States, a subject about which less is known than almost any other phase of the modern ethnology of America, says the Washington Post. All along the southern coast there are seat tered, here and there, bands of curl ous people, whose appearance, color and hair seem to indicate a cross or mixture of the Indian, the white and the negro. Such, for example, are the Pamunkeys, of Virginia; the Croatan Indians, of the Carolinas; the Malungeons, of Tennessee, and numerous other peoples who, in the days of slavery, were regarded as free negroes, and were frequently hunted down and enslaved. Since the war they have tried hard, by act of legis- lation and otherwise, to establish their Indian ancestry.
 Wherever these people are found, there also will the traveller or in vestigator passing through their re- zion encounter the tradition of Portuguese blood or descent, and many have often wondered how these people came to have such tradition, or in view of their ignorance, how they came to even know of the name of Portugal or the Portuguese. The explanation is, however, far simpler than one might imagine. In the first place, the Portuguese have always been a sea-going people, and, accord ing to Mir. Mooney, who has looked up the subject, the early records of Virginia and the Carolinas contain notices of Portuguese ships having gone to wreck on the coasts of these states, and of the crews settling down and marrying in with the Indian mu- lattoes
 Moreover, there are records of Portuguese ships having sailed into Jamestown bay as early as 1865, and since then there has been more or less settlement of Portuguese fisher men and sailors from Maine to Flor ida. Now it has been the history of the Portuguese race that wherever they settled they mixed in with the darker peoples forming the aborigi- nal population of the countries oc- cupied by the Portuguese settlers, and this is the reason and cause of the Portuguese admixture among the tribes along the coast of the United States.
 In further proof of this he calls at tention to the case of a colony of Portuguese fishermen who settled on the coast of Massachusetts a few years ago. These settlers have noth- ing whatever to do with the white or Yankee population around them, but are intermarrying and intermix- ing among and with the small rem- nant of the Narragansett Indians who have survived down to the pres ent day. In short, it has been the history of the Portuguese that wher- ever they settled along the Atlantic coast they have intermixed and in- termarried with the remnants of the Indian tribes that were once the sole proprietors of that region.

Girl Brutality Murdered.

Miss Florence Shillcut, aged 19 years, was found dead with her throat cut near the home of her father, five miles from Little Rock, October 29. Her body was terri ply mutilated, and the surround ings showed that she had a desper- ate struggle with her fendish mur- derer. Miss Shiilcut, whose family IS one of the oldest and most highly respected in Pulaski county, left her home about Q o'clock and went to the home of her uncle, MT. Sulli- van, on an errand. She was ac- companied by a little sister, who did not return with her when she started home. At point remote from any house the brute attacked his victim. She fought desperately and the struggle seems to have been carried on in a running battle, but her strength was not equal to the brute force of her assailant, and her body was found about 15o yards from the spot where she was first assaulted. It was lying face downward in a pool of blood, the clothing being badly disarranged and scarcely a spot was not covered with blood. An examination dis closed the fact that there had been no criminal assault. The father and uncle of the dead girl discov- cred the body few hours after the awful crime was committed. MT. Shillcut and MT. Sullivan were hunting quail and came across the body accidentally in an old field near the road where she was first attacked. There were evidences in the road and several places in the field that terrible struggle for life had been made by Miss Shillcutt. There were footmarks of a girl and man. The latter's track indicat ed that he wore about number eight shoe, square cut heel, and of a somewhat better make than is us ually worn by farmer or negro when at work. From the road the tracks led to a point about fifteen steps into the old field. Here had evidently occurred another struggle and few splotches of blood were found on the grass and weeds. About fifty yards further toward the place where the body lay, was the evidence of another struggle even fercer than the other two. A considerable pool of blood was found on the ground. Then, some distance away, was a place where the girl seemed to have fallen. From that place to where the body was found by the father and uncle was a track which seemed to indl- cate that the human fiend had dragged his victim by the heels and probably frightened out of his wits by his deed, had made but little ef- fort to conceal the body. The clothing of the young woman was badly disarranged, but not torn. Her skirt, waist, back and front, were covered with her life blood. Besides the two wounds on either side of the neck, about half way be- tween the ear and shoulder, and / bruises about the body, was one in the right hand, where a pocket knife had been thrust entirely through, probably in one of the sev- eral struggles which took place be- fore unconsciousness came.
 Officers Henry Nowlin and Josh Harp arrested two negro suspects at railroad camp near Palarm, and while searching them one of the prisoners shot Nowlin in the foot and both escaped, but one of them was later captured
