The newest design for submarine by John P. Holland will not be a destroyer, but it's object will be to put out of commission any boat it may attack rather than to destroy it. He believes that disarmament and not annihilation will be the object of future .warfares.

PILLS AS WEAPONS.
The Curious Duel That Was Arranged
By a Doctor.

An extraordinary duel, which at the
time created an immense sensation,
was one in which the decision was ar
rived at not by swords or pistols, but
by means of a deadly poison. The men
who, it is hardly necessary to say,
had fallen out over a lady-had left
the arrangement Of details to their
seconds, and until they faced each 9TH
er they did not know by what method
they were to settle their differences.
One of the seconds was a doctor, and
he had made up for the occasion four
black pellets. all identical in size and
shape IN one of these" he said, Il
have placed a sufficient quantity Of
prussic acid to cause the almost in
stantaneous death of any one who
swallows it. We will decide by the
tossing of a coin which of you is to
have first choice, and you will alter
nately draw and swallow a pill until
the poison shows its effects" Two Of
the pellets were then taken as the toss
had decided, but without effect in eth
er case This time" said the doctor,
speaking of the two pellets remaining,
you must both swallow the pill at the
same instant" The choice was again
made. and in few seconds one Of
the men lay dead on the grass.-Pall

ODD CAUSES OF DESERTIoNS.
Sometimes They Are Epidemic at an
Army Post.

"A lot of them are bulging forward,
l see, with replies to that question,
what's the matter with the army"
said a grizzled old sergeant at one of
the New York army recruiting offices.
The reasons given for desertions are
pretty close to the mark, too. But
there are some others.
Pretty often desertions become
epidemic in a military post. Any
number Of things can start an epidem-
ic of desertions and nothing can stop
il short Of switching the whole layout
to another post, and even that doesn't
always work.
Il recall the deserting epidemic that
broke out in Fort Sheridan, near Chi
cago, a few years ago. Inside Of three
months only the skeleton of the COM
mand was left. The thing was started
by an outfit Of unpopular officers, who
fell to quarreling among themselves.
"One domineering or unjust officer
in a post can cause more desertions
than bad rations or crucifying fatigue
or practice march duty. Once I knew
a little runt Of a shavetail just out
from West Point to cause twenty
eight men from one cavalry troop to
jump the fitout within two months af-

PROFITS TWENTY
TIMES THE COST
Indiana Pipe Line, Subsidiary
of the Standard Oil, Ger
tainIy Pays Big.

New York. Sept. 26.-The Indiana pipe
line, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil,
made profit of $4,O910 22 in 1908 on a total
investment of s., Dos, 75S, according to the
company's figures produced by George
Chesbrough, controller of the National
Pipe Line company, who appeared as a
witness today In the federal suit against
the oil combine. Mr.. ChesbrOugh testi-
fled that the Indiana Pipe Line company
was a common carrier and engaged only
in the transportation of oil. From bal
ance sheets of the company Frank 3.
Kellogg, conducting the government s
case sought to show that the Indiana
company was making extensive profits
and that it maintained a high schedule
of tariffs to prevent shipments of oil by
independent oil producers. Mr.. Ches-
brough testified that the Indiana COM
pany transported practically only the oil
of the Standard Oil company. The coun-
sci for the government allege that it will
be shown that the profits made by these
pipe line companies have in some cases
been twenty times the actual cost of op-
eratiOnS.

MYSTERIOUS CABLEGRAM.
Story Printed by New York World
Before News Became Public.

New York, Sept 26.-Cuban conspira-
tors, whose plot to overthrow the pro-
visiOnal government has been thwaTted
by Governor Magoon in Havana, attempt
ed apparently to use the World to fur
Their their design.
An unsigned cable of 1872 words was
received by the newspapers several hours
before the plot became public, stating
that a meeting of prominent merchants
of Havana had been held Monday night
and a resolution adopted to inform the
World of the true state of Cuban af-
fairs. The message then said that there
would be a general uprising today and
tomorrow
In language of alarm. the message told
of credit impaired, property in danger
and general anarchistic demonstration to
follow, all for the purpose of causing
an embarrassing situation at Washing
tom It added that IF American troops
shed Cuban blood, a general uprising
and open war against the United States
will be inevitable
Revolutionary leaders, the cable stated,
were known to have taken into their
service arms and ammunition which never
had been taken over by the provisional
government.
Give this the widest publicity and
save the situation" the dispatch con-
cluded.
Inquiry as to the identity of the send
ers disclosed it was the Merchants as
ISOLATION" 30 Zueleta street. The dis
patch bore evidence of having been pre-
pared by an experienced cable cOrrespon-
dent, but investigation showed there is

given is that of the conservative and ex-
elusive Union club, and no knowledge
Of a meeting of merchants of any sort
in Havana could be learned.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Alleged Cuban Conspiracy Not Re-
qarded as important.

Washington. Sept 26.-War department
officials, while admitting that agitation
is rampant among the negro population
in Cuba, because of their failure to re-
ceive their proper share of the offices,
discredit the probability of any upris-
ing against the provisional government
on that account
Acting Secretary of War Oliver was
at the White House today, but he did not
regard the stories of a Cuban revolt of
sufficient Importance to bring it to the
presidents attention.
Governor Magoon Is keeping the war
department advised of the situation and
IS consulting freely with General Barry,
in command of the American army of
pacification. His dispatches, for pruden-
trial reasons. are not made public.
The agitation has been alike in Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio provinces, in the
latter province being among the lawless
classes, mainly negroes. Governor Ma
COON reported that private and official
advices from Santiago, Puerto Principe
Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces in
dictate absolute tranquility there. Gen.
eral Barry today telegraphed from Ha-
Yana:
Referring to newspaper accounts of
agitation in Cuba, I have been alive to
the situation for some days though
nothing has developed worthy of report
ing. Daily reports from station command
ers show tranquility in all provinces ex-
cept Pinar del Rio, where there is some
slight agitation among the lawless class,
mainly negroes. Am satisfied any fric-
ton which may arise will be promptly
and successfully handled.

JOINS DOWN AND OUT CLUB
Wilbur Glen Voliva Given Notice to
Cult Zion-0ption on Mexico
Land Lost.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-WilbUr Glenn Vo-
Iva, who successfully grasped the reins
of government of Zion City from the
hands of John Alexander DOwie. and ex-
pected to reign in his stead after the
death Of Dowie, last night announced to
900 of his followers in that city, torn
by many factions, that he had given up
the fight there.
At the same time he announced that
he had lost the options upon the land
in New Mexico where he expected to
found a new colony, but would buy prop
erty adjacent to Zion City and found a
colony there.
The speech of Voliva was his swan
song so far as Zion City is concerned.
He said that ne had received formal no.
tice from John c. Haley, the receiver
of Zion City, to vacate the premises
which he has used as offices and for
the publication plant of his official pa
per. within thirty days. He said that he
would get out and would not pay an
other dollar to the receivers. Voliva was
hitter toward Mr. Haley and branded his
treatment as persecution.
No explanation of how he lost the op-
tion on the lands in New Mexico was
xouchsafed by Voliva. 1t was generally
understood that he had failed to re-
ceiye the financial backing he had ex-
Dected.
