COMPASS OF LITTLE USE.
Tia Instrum snt on Submarine Boat
Ceases TO Point Ncfth
Under Water.

Talking with young naval officer,
learned something about submarine
boats that astonished me, says Brook
Ign Eagle writer. He had been down In
one of the Holland craft several times
and made light of the dangers, but he
ridiculed the value of such vessels for
warfare. Then he told me the strange
inexplicable fact that after the boat
Is entirely submerged the compass
ceases to point to the north. II flies
around any old way and cannot be re.
lied upon for steering. Even when the
water is Gear AMI still the man at the
lookout cannot see more than 20 feet
In front of the bow.
Rough water on the surface has the
effect of giving an opaqueness to tho
sea underneath--the opposite of the
DRY. The approach of submarine cat
be detected by the masthead that stands
out of the water The vessel rarely de
sends more than ten or twelve feet
below the surface. The general suppo-
sition that the boat founders about in
the mud is erroneous.
But the impossibility of steering by
compass destroys the practicability OF
this weapon for actual warfare. In an
engagement the submarine would be as
likely to torpedo friend as enemy. All
manner of strange currents exist under
the surface of the sea. and as they have
the boat wholly in their grasp she
might be turned entirely around in 8
quarter miles run. Many of the most
expert men in the navy are trying to
divise means to overcome the effect OF
submersion upon the compass,

Washington, Aug. 1.-For the first

the grand vizier and minister for for
eign affairs, who stated that in view

der to fortify the government, it had
been decreed necessary to grant certain
reforms and constitution durable for

these reforms accordingly was ordered.
According to the dispatch, the assem-
bly, will be composed of equal parties

Jersey City fans are bemoaning the
hard luck that has followed their team on
this last trip abroad, but one and all adj
mit that the Skeeters are playing good
ball. They were entirely shut out yes
terday by the Bronchos The consoling
thought is that the Bisons We're licked,

white washing. The scores of both
games were the same-3 to o. In the
set-to between the Skeeters and the
Bronches the the latter got their runs
in the opneing round. But after that
not a single Broncho was allowed to
cross the plate. Moren, who pitched for
the Jerseys was not in his best form.
Case, the Rochester twirler, was at his
best. Both teams did great work in the
field. In the opening round with one

SUMMER TRADE GOOD.
Demand For Seasonable Goods Aided
by Weather.


New York, Aug. 11.-In some sec
tions the intense heat facilitated retail
trade in summer goods and improved
the. attendance at seaside resorts, but
the most important development in the
business world was the increased ac-
tiyity of jobbing and wholesale depart
ments in preparing for autumn and
winter requirements
Crop reports are all that could be
desired, harvest and thrashing returns
surprising all but the most sanglline
expectations, the few unsatisfactory
statements being far unbalanced by
the numerous encouraging results.
Manufacturing news is still of good
progress, the iron and steel industry
maintaining phenomenal results despite
some labor troubles. High prices pre-
vail in the footwear industry and for
most textile fabrics, but the general
level of all commodities reflects the
cheapening of farm products on ac-
count of the big crops.
Failures this week numbered ia in
the United States against 222 last year,
ard 13 in Canada compared with 10 a
year ago.

PRISON Fer LYNcHER.
Salisbury Man Gets Fifteen Year SEN

tence For Mobbing Jail.
Salisbury, N. c., Aug. 11.-What is
said to be the first instance of the
conviction of lyncher in the history
of the state was furnished here when
George Hall, white ex-convict Of
Montgomery county, N. c., who was
one of the party that Monday night
lynched three negroes in jail here for
the murder of the Lyerly family, was
found guilty of conspiracy in eonnec-
ton with that crime and was sentenced
to fifteen years in the penitentiary.
The jury was out but thirty-fve min
utes and returned then with a verdict
Of guilty after several witnesses had
been heard. Judge B. f. Long SEN
fenced Hall to the maximum term pro-
vided for by law-fifteen years at hard
labor in the penitentiary. The evi-
dence against Hall was overwhelming.
He was remanded to jail
Halls counsel has appealed on the
ground that Governor Glenn was in
Atlantic City when the special term at
which Hall was tried was ordered and
that, being out the states bounds, he
had no jurisdiction.

REBATE INDICTMENTS FOUND.

jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE fed
eral grand jury which has been sitting

CHINESE FOR PANAMA.
Oriental Laborers to DlspIace West
indian Negroes.

Indian Negroes.
Washington, Aug. 11.-Chinese labor
will be given thorough test on the
Panama canal Contracts calling for
$500 Cinnamon for canal work have
been prepared, and advertisements Wal
be issued by the isthmian canal COM
mission in a few days asking for pro-
posals from labor agents.
If the initial $500 Cinnamon prove a
success it is likely that many more
will be taken to the isthmus to do the
work that is too hard for the Jamai-
cans now employed there in large num-
bers
Organized labor has offered much
opposition to the use of contract Chi
nese labor but the Jamaican workmen
have proved inadequate. sufficient
to push the work, and the Chinese are
the last hope of the commission.
Leroy Park, labor agent in the en-
ploy of the commission, is still in Spain
negotiating with the Spanish govern
ment for the employment of large
number of peninsular Spaniards on the
isthmus His efforts promise to be sue
cessful, and the commission expects to
recruit many high grade workingmen
from Spain.
1t is the desire of Chief Engineer Ste
vens TO have several kinds of laborers
on the isthmus. The employment of
the Chinese will not displace the Ja-
maicans who are already there, but it
is not likely that many more West In
dian negroes will be hired if the Chi
nese prove success.
