SUBMARINE WINS AGAIN.
The Shark Runs by Fort Adams in the Day
Time IndetecteA.

NEWPORT, r. l., Dec. 9.-There was an
interesting test with the submarine torpedo
boat Shark this afternoon in the outer
harbor. The Shark is attached to the
torpedo ST ion, and since the departure
of the Adder and Moccasin she has been
used for experiments. The submarines
have found no difficulty In passing objects
at night unobserved, and to-day 1t was
decided to make a trial to see if the boat
could pass q given point in the day time
without being detected.
Several officers were stationed at Fort
Adams, and 30 that the boat might have
no advantage Gunner Hepburn and crew
from one of the other submarines were
sent to the fort to assist in picking her up.
The Shark, under the command of Lieut. T..
C. p. Nelson, was then sent out from the
station. There was but little motion on the
surface of the water, a condition favorable
for picking her up but in spite OF this the
boat was successful in passing the fort unob-
served.
After getting out in the outer harbor the
Shark was submerged and for an hour she
was maneuvered under water. Then she
came to the surface for an observation
through the coming tower. Then, again
diving, she passed the given point without
being seen. Coming to the surface bet tween
Fort Adams and the jamestown shore out
Of the reach Of fire from the machine guns,
she again dived and next came to the surface
near Ross Island, and having complied with
the requirements of the test proceeded

told the Butler street police last night that
he had Just received this letter:

The SOCIETY OF THE PICS FEET
Capiello says that somebody rang his
doorbell last evening and that he found
the letter on the stoop. He thinks that the
man who left it WAS man in a long coat
who had been seen walking up and down
the street just before the bell rang.
After notifying the police, Cappiello
barricaded his basement door, leaving
a small hole at basement window. When
reporter went TO the house, Cappiello
poked shotgun through the hole and
talked along the barrel He refused to
discuss the letter
A few months ago Cappiello received
a number OF letters demanding $4,000
blackmal. Six weeks ago four men were
convicted Of receiving u 600 which was
paid out by men who said that they we're
Cappiello's friends. The four were sent
to Sing Sing prison.

TO STOP LABOR EXTORTION.
Test Case in Court to Prevent FOremen
From Taking Money for Giving Jobs.

From Taking Money Tor GNlnE Jobs.
BosToN, Dec. 9.-The International Iron
Moulders' Union has begun action to put
stop to the system of extortion which it
is asserted is practised by foremen of
foundries all over tho country Of making
ignorant men pay for their positions. 1t
is also asserted that the foremen, not salts
fed with receiving money for giving a
man place, demand further payments from
employees who wish more profitable piece
work.
The first move in the campaign is the
filing Of bill in equity in the United States
Circuit Court here, and it will be a test
case. In the bill the union proceeds against
the foundry OF the General Electric Company
at Lynn. The nine men whose names
appear as instigators OF the bill are Russians
and members of the union. They assert
that when they sought employment at the
foundry they learned that it was secretly
but generally understood that those who
got work must pay to Foremen Mattson
and Gill money to be favored with selection
from among the numerous applicants.
The orators assert that three Lynn men
acted as go-betweens in the transactions,
and that as soon as they paid certai n
money which was passed over to Mattson
and Gill. they got employment. They also
assert that there is depression in iron
foundry work and they fear that in case
they are laid of Mattson and Gill will
oblige them to pay more money for re-
employment. They ask that the defend
ants be restrained from continuing the
practice.

At Forty-seventh street two heavy
wagons took possession Of the car tracks
and moved leisurely northward, the drivers
paying no attention to the ringing Of the
gong on car driven by a non-union motor
man. When Root street was reached,
eight or nine cars were punched behind the
teams. The crowd in waiting rained
shower of bricks. pieces of coal, vegetables
and other missiles upon the cars. The
teams having deserted the track the motor
men put on full speed and escaped.
Several passengers were injured by
broken glass and the missiles. Police
from the stock yards station arrived

the Government heard that 5000 Colom-

GEN. REYES DIDN'T EXPECT THIS MOVE.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian Charge d Al
faires, said to-day that II any Colombian
troops had started for the Isthmus the
movement was in direct opposition to the
efforts Of Gen. Reyes, the Colombian Special
Plenipotentiary accredited to the United
States, and himself. 1t was stated that
since coming to Washington Gen. Reyes
had relinquished temporarily his Office as
Commander-in-Chief of the Colombian
Army. Rear Admiral Coghlan recently
sent to the Navy Department statement
that Gen. Reyes had told him at Colon that
he had instructed his soldiers to suspend
any hostilities against the Isthmus until
further orders from him, and this state
ment, Gen. Reyes admits is true.
No negotiations with this Government
have been begun by Gen. Reyes, but he

Gen. Reyes has realized that any attempt

"Stanley's darkest Africa was as nothing
compared to what troops would have to
contend with in marching from Colombia

country is practically impenetrable. BY
great exertions, a pathway might be cleared
to permit them to advance a mile day.
Two hundred and fifty miles in $50 days.
The network Of the jungle is so thick that
they could not go faster. Besides, the
