AMERICA IS MAKING ERROR So Declares French Ad- miral Germinet. EXPLAINS JAP VICTORIES Due to High Explosive Shells
 Used. sa,,leship of "Dreadnoughs' Class ,which United stnte- |. Copy ing, Great Mistake in Naval
 Architecture.
BY HENRI DUBOIS.

Paris, Oct. 6.=(SpeciaL )--America is making mistake by building bat tleships of the "Dreadnought" class, according to the opinion of Admiral Germinet. commander-in-chief of the French Mediterranean fleet.
 Great Britain was induced to build her latest immense battleship,p said the Admiral to a Representative of Le Journal, because the British Admi- raIty ascribed Togo's success to the large calibre of his guns, rather than to his high explosive shells.
 T consider the. 'Dreadnought' a great mistake in naval constructi on, and 1t is pity that other countries like the United States have followed the lead of Great Britain"
 Admiral Germinet declares that he has seen official documents which eff Actually disapprove the theory that the Russian warships were beaten sole- Iy because of the heaviest Japanese guns.
 During the earlier naval engage ments tlfe Japanese used 12-fnch shells, similar to those used by France and Great Britain. and charged with small quantity of explosives. These shells were intended mainly to pierce the arm ors of the enemy's ships. :
 The Japanese. soon realized, however. that the resuMs did not justify the enormous expense involved, and they began manufacturing high explosive shells. All the ships in Admiral Togo's feet used these shells at the battle of Taushima.
 The shells exploded at the least con tact, and sent out tremendous heat, similar to that which followed the ex- plosions on the French battleship Jena at Toulon some months ago. The hard est metals were melted and produced an enormous volume of destructive 1ases--carbonic acid and bioxide of nitrogen, which suffocated every one who breathed them.
 These gases penetrating the Russian ships through the vcutilators and oth- CT inleta, asphyxiated the men on the lowest deck.
 Tn the official reports which fur nfshed me with this information" con- ffnued Admiral Germinet," I found two significant facts. On certain Russian ship two of the heavy guns had ceased to fire. The mechanism was inspected and found to be intact, but all the members of the gun was inspected and found in the turrets, having been asphyxiated.
 The other fact was even more dis auieting. During the engagement tho electric light on the same ship failed. The wires and dynamos were found to ba in perfect order, but the electri- clans were lying dead beside the dyha- mos. They, too were asphyxiated by the gases arising from these high ex- plosive shells
 ~The explosion of the shells had caused Assures in the hull of the ship.

 inventories made 1t comparatively easy for Thomas and his confederate to car ry out their thefts. On pretence of copying church plate which was after wards to be sold. they obtained ad-
 mission to the churches and removed
 many valuable articles.
 Fully $75,000 worth of plate has been stolen in this manner. In some in-

 articles on his own account, the many

to Stay. Munich, Oct. 26.--The murderer Muel- Ter. who was released from the peni- tentiary after having served a term of thirty years, has applied to the police auth critics for permission to spend the rest of his life inside penitentiary walls. The Prisons Aid Society of Bavaria had offered the ex-convict to pay his passage to America and provide him with the necessary amount of money to land there. but the man refusesSto go, saying that his long stay in prison has made him unfit for any kind of work. and that there is no place that he would rather be than back in his old cell.

Bernard Shaw shocks England.

Bernard Shaw, the famous play wright, has given England another shocking surprise by declaring himself in favor of polygamy.
 In London Times he writes.
 'I, having ascertained that my opin- ion as representative enough to be of some importance. am emboldened to say that the institution of Kulin polyg- amy does not seem to me to be an un- reasonable one.
 "A system which limits the fertility of its men of fine physique to the child bearing capacity of one woman. and wastes the lives of thousands of first rate maiden ladies in Oarrenness be- cause they like to own their own houses and manage their own affairs without being saddled with a second rate or tenth-rate man must not take its own merits for granted. It may be the right system. It may be bound up with all that is best in our national life and fortunate in our natural his- tory, it may be all that cur stupidest people unanimously claim for 1t. But then again it may not.
 ''rhe evidance on the other side Is weighty; and the population question is pressing hard on us. The case must he argued. not assumed. and the final verdict will be that of history and not of our modern suburban villas with no nurseries.

ahu hhfouSh these assures tne gases penetrated everywhere, putting two 12- Inch guns out Of action and plunging the entire ship In darkness.
 One should not say that the Ja- panese craftsmanship was marvellous, It was good. but their success was really due to the high explosive na- ture of the shells. alth ough some of them did not reach their destination That is the whole secret of the Ja- panese victories"
 @Apaches. Terrorfxe Paris.
 Paris Oct 26.-For weeks a battle royal has been going on in this city between the police auth critics and the lawless element, known as the "apaches,'' and just now the apaches seem to have the upper hand. The pardoning of the murderer Soleilland has had a most pernicious effect, and knowing that even if caught death will not be their punishment, the apaches have become so reckless that the streets in many parts of the city are scarcely less safe than Western American Mining camp.
 These outlaws have even gone so far as toa have adopted a uniform of which they are very proud. The gen. uine apache has on his forehead a tiny tattoed spot. wears derby hat or cap, collarless shirt and no tie, his hair is carefully brushed and he wears the smartest shoes that can be bought or stolen. and by his elegant footgear he may be distinguished from the afd-working tradesman or clerk.
 The apaches know that the police of Paris Is inadequate In number. that the average sergeant de vile Is afraid of them, and, therefore, he robs and murders with little risk.
 One of the favorite games of these knights of the streets and lance Is the stcoup de cocher."
 Two or three usually three Apaches take a cab an open one and give the driver an address in cue of the lonely parts of Paris. On the way the unfor- tunate cabman is suddenly tipped backwards into the cab, throttled, rob bed, and thrown away like an old glove. The horse is cut loose, and usually trots home to the stables, and the cab is left anywhere.
 Sometimes, again the cab is repainted and sold with the horse. I remember one young gentleman of twenty three who boasted in my hearing that he had disposed for good price of seventeen Paris cabs and cab-horses in the space of q year. He may have been lying. but he is just as likely to have told the truth.
 Tn the wine shops fbouges, as they are called) of the FaubourgN Mont inartre, the Montparnasse quarter, and the neighborhood of the Place Pigalle crimes are discussed or planned every night which would make a Fagin shiver, and there Is a natter -of-fact method about the Apache which makes him really dangerous. He glories in murder. and, as have said, prison has no fears fof him The ouly. really iIse- thing against him would be the intro duction of the cat-o'- nine tails.
 The only thing that keeps the num- Der of the Apaches down Is the fact that like the Chinese highbinders. they have their factious or gangs and these gangs very often fight pitched battles with one another using knives and revolvers. battles which are never in- terfered with by the police.

SMALL HOPES FOR BYRNEs.
Wallula Man Suffers Relapse and Is
Again I'm Critical Condition.

Deputy Sheriff ALLAN Byrnes OF
Wallula, who was wounded in the
head by the accidental discharge OF
his revolver, has suffered a relapse
and this afternoon hopes for his re-
covery are small says the Walla
Walla Bulletin.
Mr.. Byrnes was struck in the fore
head by the' bullet which ploughed
its way up to the top of his head
without entering the skull, which,
however, was fractured. At first It
seemed he could not possibly recover,
but later his condition improved and
Saturday his recovery seemed almost
certain. Yesterday, however, his con-
dition became worse and a high fe-
yer set in. This was partly allayed
by the breaking of an abcess which
had been forming. but his condition
seems little, If any. better today. Sew
eral small pieces of bone have pass
ed out of the hole made by the bull
let. He is but partly conscious and
may live but a short time.
