YANKEE SUBMARINES
ARE SOLD ABROAD
Five New and Terrible Engines
of Death Go. to an East
ern Government.

New York Herald Special Gable Service. Copy
right, 1905, by, the New York Herald.
New York, Jan. Give submarine
torpedo boats to be operated by wireless
ltelegraphy have been shipped to an
eastern government. They are the in
vention Of Henry Shoemaker of Jersey
City. h
The boat is so constructed that it
may be launched from the deck of a
vessel or from shore and thereafter be
controlled at will by the operator on
the boat or shore from which it may
be launched. 5&
At the point from which the boat is
to be controlled, there is a complete
wireless apparatus, consisting of a wire
less transmitter, the usual masts, gen.
orators and other appliances. This
marvellous new engine of destruction
can be steered with far more deadly
accuracy than if controlled by the most
fearless skipper. -
Exhaustive tests have proved it's
practicability. Representatives Of the
foreign government to which five of the
boats have been shipped witnessed sew
eral tests a short time ago and were
50 favorably Impressed with the new
creation that they at once paid for the
five boats already alluded to. Each
boat cost in the neighborhood of $15, 00C
to construct, the engine alone costing
more han $4,000. The boat complete
weighs six tons. ~. e.. =

This is the side he loves. His duty
to his district impels him to the other
extreme, however, to vote against the
bill, because by reducing the tariff on
Philippine sugar, an important indus.

Eagle, who was recently convicted of
numbering his wife and sentenced to the
state prison at Jackson for life. was
granted a new trial by Judge Steere to-

a member of the jury, is not a citizen.
Ferguson at the time of the trial sWore
he was a citizen. It is alleged that later
he made an affidavit that he was not. An
investigation will follow.
Eagle was for many years prominent
in political circles in the upper peninsula,
holding office and amassing a fortune
in Chippewa county lands. The evidence
at the trial showed that he chased his
wife out of the house into the back yard
and blew her brains out. The defense
was that Eagle was insane. The case

for colonies in temperate zones, but she
cannot ignore the tropics and the Ger

the wrath Of the German colonial party
is mainly against Britain, for without

foiled .Germany's colonial hopes in
South Africa; Britain prevented Ger
many from organizing a European CO.
