TURBINE OCEAN LINERS.
Cunard Company Contemplating New
STYLE Of Ship.


The New York Herald prints the follow
ing dispatch from London: Great interest
was reused in London yesterday by a re-
port that the Cunard Company contem-
plated the use of turbine engines I'm two
new steamships which 1t is to build with
the object of wrestling the speed supremacy
Of the Atlantic from the German lines. Th,
report aroused the greater interest because
1t came upon the heels of a statement that
most successful trial had recently been
made of an Improvement upon the Parsons

and specially adapted for transatlantic traf-
flc. as it did away with drawbacks. which.

opment Of turbine propulsion, particularly
in long voyages.
be obtained, the newspaper which printed
the story having accepted 1t on the word
OF q correspondent. who vouchsafed no de-
tails as to the source of his information.
So far as has been ascertained up to the
present the more important statement rel
alive to the Cunard company reposes on an
equally unsatisfactory foundation. Denny
Brothers. who built the first steamer fitted
with turbine engines, deny that they have
been commissioned to build two new Cum
arders and equip them with turbines. A
Liverpool correspondent adds that at the
Cunard Company's offices the officials de-
clined either to confirm or to contradict
the report.
1t is pointed out. however, that Lord In
verclyde, chairman of the company. has
taken a keen personal interest IN the de-
velopment of the application Of the turbine
engine to steam vessels ever since the King
Edward VII was launched on the Clyde.
Another Dispatch wherein the truth prob
ably lies, says that, while the Cunard Com
pany Is considering the question of adopt
ing the turbine for its new steamships no
definite conclusion has yet been reached.

Richard Hamton. Virginia boy. about
fifteen years old who drives the dairy

verely hurt last evening while driving his
vehicle through the colored settlement Of
Hillsdale. His assailants were three col
ored youths and for a time the scrimmage
between the contending parties evoked con-
siderable excitement. The affair was the
outcome of a general disposition toward
roughness that has been apparent among
a certain class in the colored village re-
Gently, II is claimed. 1t began by an effort
on the part OF the colored persons referred
TO to halt the dairy wagon that young
Hamton was In charge OF. In the ARRAY
that ensued Hamton was overpOwered by
numbers. a bite was inflicted on his right
arm and a great cash cut In his head with
a stone. He succeeded In getting away
from his assailants and went to the Office
Of DIR. J. A. Watson. where his wounds
were dressed. 1t 10 said that action will

o. Canal COMPANY.


Judge Advocate General Davis of the
army this morning had a conference with
District Attorney Beach in reference to the
sQuatters who were to have been evioted
today by Marshal Palmer. under an order
of the Secretary of War.
Judge Davis was Of the opinion that the

be done by the War Department or Marshal
Palmer.
This was the day set by the marshal in
his second notice to quit served on the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company and
others who were alleged to be holding prop
erty at the western end Of Virginia avenue
belonging to the United States. The canal
company, however, obtained a restraining
order from Justice Gould. holding the
Equity Court which required the marshal
to make answer on September 10. why he
should not be enjoined from evicting the
sQuatters.
The result Of the courts order will be
that the marshal viii not attempt to carry
out his notice but will leave the sQuatters
in peaceable possession of the property I'M
til a final hearing In equity will determine
whether the land in question is govern
ment reservation upon which the persons
now In possession are trespassing.

fondly known to his people, attacked with
serious cold. which, developing into a stubborn
cough and afction of the lungs, caused the great
est alarm for the health Of the beloved clergyman.
Medical skill seemed unable to stay the progress
of the disease Finally, an eminent specialist was
consulted who gave Father John Q prescription to
cure the cold and remove the lung trouble, well
to build up and strengthen the body. The
clergyman took the prescription to the old drug

Large Crowd Present.

As the match progressed the District
team began to lose ground and when the
9OO-yard stage had been completed they
had dropped back sixty-seven points from
the leading team and twenty-five points in
the rear of its nearest competitor. The at
tendance which had been very slim during
the two days shooting picked up some
what in the last stage of the match, and
by the finish Of the match at shutdown the
largest crowd Of spectators Of the two days
had gathered. The interest had increased,
and when the sensational point was reached
the tax on the rifiemen was plainly visible.
Every man was trying his best on the fir
ing line while the spectators stood breath
lessly awaiting the announcement of the
winning teams and their scores. The big
lead of the New York team at the last
stage was too large for either of the two
teams which were following in its wake,
and while the last chance for the District
men to climb to the front ranks was gone,
they were game to the last and put up the
battle of their lives.
Never in the history of rifle shooting has
a match been 80 closely and holly contested
as the national match was in its finishing
stages yesterday. Those who shot on the
brigade team from the district will long
remember the event and the fight they put
up in the first contest for the national
trophy.
New York Won Match.
The match finally went to the New York
team, with a total score Of 1888 points
New Jersey was second. with a score of
2,9O2; Massachusetts third. score 2.SSS; Dis

High and Cold Wind.

When shooting was resumed at the 900
yard stage the velocity of the wind had In
creased, while the weather conditions and
light on the targets remained about the
same. The atmosphere grew colder and
blankets were spread over the men on the
firing line to keep them from being chilled.

The team members awaiting their turn at
the targets were clad in heavy overcoats,
which were none too uncomfortable at any
time during the day. Toward the close of
the 9OO-yard stage the wind turned 80 that
it blew directly in the faces of those shoot
ing. The wind was hard to judge, owing
to the fact that 1t would blow gale. fol-
lowed by a lulu, and then suddenly would
spring up again. Fink's best shots were
landed on the target while the wind was
blowing, as he found that If he shot during
a lull his shot would be carried off the tar
get. He was high man at this range and
was warmly congratulated on his high score
under the shooting conditions.

tremendous Importance OF public senti-
ment as factor in all political matters
Popular sentiment can only be appreci-
ed by those who have studied it on the
spot
In certain matters it is wonderfully
stable, In other respects it auctuates to
such 4 degree that one can only keep
track thereof by having one finger
constantly on the public pulse.
Nor is It always possible to gather the
trend thereof froh the press. To take q
recent instance it is doubtful whether
foreigners have derived from the AmeTi-
can newspapers any idea OF the strong
feeling which there was throughout the
country in favor OF the Presidents re
iusaI TO accept the invitation Of the
Kaiser to act as arbitrator in the Ven
ezuelan imbrogIIo.
The stability of public feeling here is
shown by the fifty years or more which
il has taken to eradicate from the Amer
lean mind the conviction that Great
Britain was the bItterest and most re-
IentIess foe of the United States Now
that this belief has disappeared. thanks
in large measure TO the warm and
constant friendship manifested for
America by the late Queen Victoria. and
also by her successor, King Edward. It
viii take a good deal to bring Uncle Sam
to credit the insinuations that his dIs-
man John Bull entertain5 any enmity
toward him.
Indeed, nothing is more instructive
in this particular than to observe the
manner in which public sentiment here
discriminates between England and Ger
many. to the detriment of the latter, in
the Venezuelan difficulty.
As far as the fluctuations Of public
sentiment are concerned, there are times
when the dispatch of special missions
and the gift Of statues would be veIcom-
ed with enthusiasm At other moments
they would come amiss, be regarded with
distrust, and the motives questioned that
had prompted the compliment to the
