New York. Oct. THE submarine
torpedo boat Shark during a trial at
Greenport, l.. l., to-day rammed the
torpedo boat Dahlgren, which with her
crew of seven men. barely escaped
sihking.
Junior Lieutenant C. Nelson took the
Shark out for trial and steamed out
into the middle of the bay, making
several quick dives. When she reach
ed the opposite shore she headed back
for long spin under water. The boat
poked her nose under the surface and
dived down tifty-eight feet. 1t was
planned TO run three and a half miles
at the rate of six and a half miles an
hour.
Those on short who figured when she
would rise. were becoming alarmed
when she did not appear, when sud-
denly she rose less than twenty feet
from the Dahlgren. which was lying
at the dock.
Lieut.. Nelson signaled to reverse her
engines, but her head was too strong,
and she crashed into the port side of
the Dahlgren lying at the pier. Wa

gren and she settled alarmingly The
steam pump was set working and after
half an hours hard work, got control
of the water.
An examination showed that a hole
about four feet long had been torn
through the plates aft of the engine
room. The only mark on the Shark
was the tearing of the paint from her
ram-like bow.
Lieut.. Nelson said afterward that
the strong ebb tide made the Shark
momentarily uncomfortable. He had
figured to run to the surface a short
distance from the Dahlgren and prove
the Sharks ability to run close to an
enemy and then back quickly away.

Church. A large number of delegates
was assigned to the various hotels and

reports, one on education and the other
on foreign missions.
Prof. e. b. Walker made the report
on ministerial education, showing a
gradual decline in the number of men
offering themselves for the gospel min
istry. He thought the underlying cause
was the indifference to be found in
churches and the insufficiency of sup
port given to ministers, young men be-
