Proves That She Can Maneuvre under
Water as Claimed.

Newport, +. l., Dec. 11.z-tfhere was
an interesting test with the subma rine
torpedo boat Shark, Thursday after
noon, in the outer harbor. The Shark
is attached to the torpedo station, ana
since the departure OF the Adder and
Moccasin she has been used for expar-
inents. The submarines have found no
difficulty in passing objects at night
unobserved, and, Friday, it was decid-
ed TO make a trial to see if the boat
could pass Il given point in the day
time without being detected.
Several officers were stationed at
Fort Adams, and SO that the boat
might have no advantage Gunner Hen
burn and a crew from one of the other
submarines We're sent to the fort to
assist in picking her up.
The Shark under the command of
Lieut.. c. P. Nelson. was then sent out
from the station. There was but little
motion on the surface of the water
condition favorable for picking her up.
but in spite Of this the boat was sue
cessful in passing the fort unobserved.
After getting out in the outer harbor
the Shark was submerged and for an
noun 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. Com
ing to the surface between Fort Adams
ana the jamestown shore out of the
reach of fire from the machine guns,
she again Owed and next came 10 the
surface near Ross Island. and having
complied with the requirements of the
test proceeded awash to her slip at the
torpedo station.

At the beginning of today's session
of the Senate, Culberson introduced a
resolution instructing the committee
on the judiciary to inquire into the
question of the right of the department
of Panama TO establish an independent
government.
Culberson asked for present consider
alton Of the resolution but Cullom sug-
gested that it should go to the COM
mittee on foreign relations To this
Culberson objected. saying that the
necessity for the determination Of the
point as to the character OF Panama
rs an independent nation prior to the
consideration of the treaty with that
power for the construction Of the pro-
posed Panama canal was important
Aldrch asked that the resolution lie
over fora day to which Culherson as
scented.
Considerable time was spent in dis
cussing the question as TO the proper
to which a report by the secretary of
commerce on the Sailors Home III San
Francisco had been referred. The re-
port related to 2 complaint against the
home by the British government. There
were various suggestions. among
others one by German that the docu-
ment be printed. He took occasion to
urge the printing of all such documents
and complained incidentally of the
difficulty he is having in getting the
testimony in the post office department
investigation printed.
The Cuban reciprocity bill was then
laid before the Senate and Bard, Rep.
Cal, addressed the Senate in opposi-
ton to the measure. He was confident,
he said, that in urging the proposed
legislation the President is actuated by
the conviction that we are in honor
bound to give further aid to the Cuban
people. But While he fully respected
the Presidents magnanimty he could
not agree with him on this subject
Bard argued that the passage of tie
bill would have the effect of injurinG
the sugar producers of the United
States. and contanded that our govern
ment is under greater obligations TO
protect American than to promote Gu.
Ian interests. He failed to see where
in the passage of the bill could pro-
mote our trade with Cuba.
Bard contended that the passage of
the bill would be most injurious to the
fruit interests of his state.
McCreary Dem. Ky, supported the
bill in his first address to the Senate.
which received careful attention.
He referred to the splendid work
done by the United States in libcr-
iting Cuba from Spanish domination
aud said: 1--WE must not mar our great |
recold of magnammity, of generosity. |
but must go on and insure to Cuba
commercial prosperity and financial |
success"
He would amend the bill so as to re-
peal the difTerential duty on sugar and |
would strike out the 5-year clause. but |
whether those amendments We're |
adopted or not he would vote for the |
bill because he believed its benefits |
would exceed any evils which might |
arise from it's passage. He declared
that the presentation and advocacy of /
this bill by Republicans shows a
marked advance iii Republican senti-
ment on the tariff and referred to the
Lodge bill for the removal of the duty
on hides as another evidence OF n
growing sentiment favorable to tariff
revision.
