The Rude silence of Hughes.

Nothing has ever irritated the Presi-
dent more than the obtuseness and in
gratitude Of the present Governor Of
New York. Mr.. HUGHES does not seem
to understand that when the resignation
of Internal Revenue Collector ARCHIE
SANDERS was called for, the President
had only the Governors interests at heart
and was not striking at ex-Representa-
tive JAMES w. WADswoRTH, whose Ian
guage about the President had been
strong enough TO provoke the resent
ment of any civil service reformer, But
no, the President was proof against temp
tation, for il should be distinctly under
stood, and of course the fact has not
escaped the observation Of Governor
HUGHES, ARCHIE SANDERS was sum-
moned TO resign because he had been
guilty Of pernicious activity in local poll
tics. No President with a white record
as a civil service reformer could overlook
he offence. That SANDERS was a protege
and friend Of the undesirable WADs-
WORTH, and that WApswoRTH would
naturally not like TO see his man walk
ing the plank, may have occurred to the
President, but only TO irritate him be-
cause his action would be misunderstood
by malicious people. The President,
however, was consoled by the thought
that in Kidding the public service OF
ARCHIE SANDERS he was helping to
hold up the hands OF the Governor,
If the Governor docs not sec that and
appreciate it, the President is only
gr~ieved-not at all offended.
II any doubt existed in any ones mind
about the motive OF tho Presidentin ask
ing ARCHIE SANDERS TO give up his Office,
that doubt should forthwith be removed

MORE SUBMARINE BOAT TESTS
Octopus Put Through Special Maneuyres
and Torpedo Firing Trials.

NEWPORT. R. L.. May 1.-THE submarine
boat Octopus was subjected to various
manoeuvring and special trials and torpedo
firing tests to-day.
Among the man9uvres were trials Of the
boats ability to remain at rest while sub
merged. turning trials under various con-
ditions and motive powers and quick stops,
In the latter the boat came TO a full stop
from full speed ahead in so seconds.
OF the special tests the most important
was Of the automatic devices for blowing
out the water ballast to allow the boat
TO come 20 the surface in case OF accident.
In this test the Octopus came to the surface
from a depth Of 20 feet in IS seconds. Only
two torpedoes we're fired. These were
discharged as the boat was about TO dive
70 a depth Of 20 feet. An irr~egularity
with the tubes prevented the discharging
Of the remaining two after the boat had
submerged. Only one OF the torpedoes
was recovered. the other not coming TO
the surface.

Trial OF First Air Brake.
From The ENGINEERING Maoasin,.

From The Engineering Anodstnt.
The air brake was ushered into actual use Ia
most dramatic fashion. The trial trip occurred
In April, 1889. The train selected was the Steuben
Vile accommodation, running between Pittsburs
and Steubenyille. Ohio. When the train wss coins
az full speed, suddenly as he came around a sharr
curve. the engineer saw a stalled wagon In the
middle of the track dead ahead.
With hand brakes only, nothing could have pre-
vented q terrible smashup. The formal time fol

was there. and 10 desperation. not believing for q
moment that the thing could possibly avail. The
engineer threw on the air. But Il did avail.
The observers in the rear were almost catapulted
out OF their seats by the shock OF the sudden stop.
But when they saw the engine fairly poking It's nosc
into the wagon bed, 80 narrow had been the margin
between safety and disaster, they forgot all sbou-

conversations, Attitude toward Divorce.

To THE EDITOR OF TIRE SUN-Sir: In the
report OF a wedding ceremony performed by
a Congregational minister OF Brooklyn at
Hotel Gotham long before daylight this
morning the statement is made that Con
gregational ministers do not mind marrying
divorced persons"
As moderator Of the council which recently
received the gentleman who oflcisted at this
so-called wedding into the fellowship Of the
Congregational churches, j wish to deny that
statement as explicitly as language will allow
and to repudiste this exercise OF ministerial
function as an expression OF orderly Con-
gregationalism with as much vehemence al
can be generated by the humiliation and
indignation which any loyal Congregationalist
feels In having his UNCONVENTIONAL principles
maligned and name disagraced by connect
ing them in any way will such n miserable,
unholy and disgustingly bestial proceeding.

The following statement was made y"s-
terday by Homer Davenport regarding Tie
proposed ride across the continent;
'When l proposed having an Arabian
stallion ridden from Oregon TO New Jersey

Arab horse had the same powers OF en-
durance In Amsrica that l have seen them
exhibit in the desert. In the desert last

Of the upper desert Of Arabia. and while

ocoasioued no comment from the BedouinR,

Hughes came to Washington some weeks
ago and induced the President to reopen
the case. He declared thAthe hadnot been
absent from his Office except on leave and
that a post office inspector had visited the
place while he was away n had been in
huenced by his enemies.
Another inspector was sent to Columbia
and the Postmaster-Genera said this after
noon that q second unfavorable report was
the result Of the visit. Accordingly Post
master Hughes Is relieved and the Assist
ant Postmaster appointed In his place. Mr..
Hughes is the political lieutenant Of Repre-
sentative Brownlow, who is identified with
anti-Roosevelt politics in Tennessee, and
the ex-Postmaster's friends say that the
removal is due to that fact.
