THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Differences of Opinion on the Board of
Construction as to Design for the
Armored Cruisers.
- 7 Telegraph to tne Momma star
Washington, October 18. The
board of construclion of the Navy De
partment has reached what may be re
garded as a critical point in the devel
opment of the American navy. For
many days past the board has been
struggling with the grave problem pre
sented by the' necessity of so designing
the armored cruisers authorized by the
last Congress as to combine the great
est offensive and defensive qualities
with the hichest soeed. The ordnance
department wished o clad the vessels
in the heaviest armor and place on
them the biggest guns, while the engi
neers wished to give a high speed.
These differences of opinion have be
come much more pronounced than
ever before and there have been some
very lively scenes in the board meet
ings recently. Gradually the issues
have been sifted down and adjusted
tentatively, save the very important
one of weight to be allowed for motive
power, which means speed.
Engineer-in-chief Melville insists
that the new cruisers should not take
the wash of anything afloat He de
mandedtha ttheyb i able to overdertake
if need be and escape from any battle
ship or cruiser of any other navy.
holding that the reserve speed, as in
the case of the Oregon at Santiago.
might often turn the course of bat
tle.
It is possible that Secretary Moody
will be called upon to decide the issue
as to whether speed shall be sacrificed
to power and size limitation.

GREAT DRAMAr OF
BRITISH POLITICS.
T. P. O'Connor's Impressions of
Thursday's Scene in the
House of Commons.
STRANGE AND MOST EXCITING
Jobn O'Donnell's Impassioned Speech.
The Character of the Man The
Persecutions He His Under
tone Wfcat It Portends '
By Teletcraph'to the Moraine: Btar
London. Oct. 18. T. P. O' .5onno
M. P., has written for the .Associated
Press his Impressions of the scene
caused by the Irish members in the
House of Commons Thursday, and
what he believes it portends, as fol
lows:
"I have seen many strange and ex
citing scenes in the House of Coin
mons, but that 01 xnursaay was ma
most strange and most exciting. It
deserves serious notice as a symptom
of and clue to the present political
condition. John O'Donnel), the chief
character therein, is not the kind of
man one would expect to see figure in
such a scene.
"To see this ordinarily quiet young
man addressing the whole House for a
quarter of an hour amid a din which
was tempestuous, and in violation of
every rule of order, with the Speaker,
ministers and all snouting, ana me
majority helpless, and then after
wards to see him cross tne noor 01 toe
House and standing in front of the
prime minister, who sat pallid with a
sicsly smile on his face to see this.
was one or toe most curious proois oi
how honest passion and indignation
created by oppression, can cow
even the most powerful of ty
rannies. Of all the points of that
terrible scene for it was terrible the
most remarkable was the absolute help
lessness, the cowed inaction of the
Unionist majority, so divided and har
rassed by the sense of the irresistible
doom coming hourly upon their lead
ers that they cannot conceal their de
pression and are made impotent by
panic. And there waa me omtr rea
son that the spectre of Ireland
which was supposed to be laid.had risen
again, more menacing than ever. And,
finally, there was perhaps some sense
of shame at the feeling tha't this man,
who was calling for the right to be
heard in the House of Commons, had
been craeeed in Ireland by systematic
persecution worthy of Russia at her
worst, tie has spent eignteen mooins
in jail during the last three or four
years and has been dragged from plat
forms by the police berore he opened
his lips, and he was recently subjected
to a sentence which is a i example of
deliberate ferocity, his last sentence of
six months, October 14tb, having:
been so eiven by the magistrate that
O'Donnell has to spend six wee its on
a plank bed and nine days on bread
and water. All this suffering of tho
past and to come, was written in legi
ble letters on the pale face and in the
excited eyes of this ordinarily quiet
gentleman. This, perhaps, was why
the ministerialists sat cowed, helpless
and abashed at the scene, one of the
signs of some great coming change.
"It is impossible to foretell what it
will be, but for a good reason Irish
men hope it may take the shape of a
startling, gigantic surrender. One of
the most important portents is the
eagerness of nine out of ten of the
landlords to attend a conference with
the Irish leaders. The movement is
only kept from triumph by the fact
that the leaders of the landlords are
wealthy, with estates in England, and
are, besides, politicians first and land
lords afterwards. Every thinking
man, whether landlord or tenant, be
lieves that two or three years purchase
and a small grant from the Imperial
Exchequer are all that is now stand
ing between Ireland and a final settle
ment of the land question, and the re
conquest of the land by the Celts from
the English garrison. Among those
who think that a gigantic surrender ia
inevitable at an early day is, I have
reason to believe, the Irish Chief Sec
retary. Mr. Wyndham himself.
He urged the landlords to consent
to a conference, even travelling long
distances to their homes in order ' to
put personal pressure on them. He
has already announced that there will
be a bigger land bill next year, and I
have heard he has said privately that
coercion might be over in three weeks
in case of certain events, whereby
I understood he meant to f nd it if tho
landlords and tenants agree on a com
mon basis of settlement. In the
meantime pressure on the government
is coming from various quarters. It is
doubful if the gov rnment can carry
theJbiducation bill without violent clos
ure, which may lead to scenes in
side the House by the English non
conformists very like those caused by
uuonneli, so vehement is party pat
sion; and outside it may produce out
bursts In England, also on the Irish
pattern. The attempt to force the Irish
members into the ministerial lobby on
the Education bill died on the first
night of the session, when Mr. Balfour
insulted Ireland by refusing to give
her a day to voice her wrongs.
To sum up, the Irish members feel
that they have scored. Nobody has a
good word to say for the maladroit an
tics of Mr. Balfour. The government
is threatened from many quarters and
is divided, and is. I believe, doomed.
wnue ireiana nas once more rushed
into the foremost place in the great
drama or British politics."
WHAT THE AGE SEEDS.
The law :f supply and demand gets
in its work on all the professions, as
hundreds of nice young fellows who
have been educated for the law, the
ministry, teaching and medicine at an
expense of $1,500 or $2,000 figd out
as soon as tney graduate, xney nna
that they hare stuff to sell on an al
ready glutted market and that only a
few of them really a very few can
make place, position and a good liv
ing. There is a great waste right here.
The world is clamoring for men In a
hundred departments of business, but
not this sort. It is a practical and con
structive age, and It la the men who
can do things who are wanted men
who can open mines, assay ore, build
bridges and great buildings, buy, Judge
and handle stock, raise big crops at the
smallest cost, economically utilize the
labor of other men, handle complex ma
chinery, originate new methods rath
er than those who know of and have to
do with the past as expounders of an
cient theory or explorers in metaphys
ical mysteries.' Call it a bread and
butter age If you will, the fact re-'
mains that the essential spirit tf 'mod
ern progress deals almost whollywith'
the future and not the past. Leave the
past with the monks, the ritualist
and the dust of cathedral sepulchers
and blaze out a new road, young man.

but allows one to get much more for

to settle. Ij believe that every one is
agreed that ensilage corn must have

as much value as the same grain dried
and fed as grain. My experience leads
me to believe that by chemical action;
or by some j unknown cause to me, at
least, the corn put into the silo witly
the stalks is not of as much value as.
the same would be If dried, ground and
fed as grain. This subject our experi
ment stations should investigate more
fully.
We are so well convinced of this that
this spring we shall plant and raise as
good a crop of field corn as we can,
striving especially to raise a large
quantity of grain, remove the ears and
cut the stalks into the silos. If It
proves a failure, we will let the read
ers of this paper know why. But we
don't intend that it shall prove wrong.
On the contrary, we believe it a decid
ed step in advance, tho serious ques
tion being isow to get the stalks Into
good ensilage if put in as dry as they
must be if left long enough to mature
the grain. Our Idea is to have plenty
of ensilage for winter feed, enough for
summer and some left over. We will
do away entirely with green forage
crops, as they cost too much labor and
do not produce enough per acre.

THE WAR IN VENEZUELA.
Revolatlonlsts Defeated After Seven Diys
Terrible FlghtlDg-Killed and Wound
- ed Numbered Seven Thousand.
B Cable to tbe Mot nina Btar
LaViotoria, Vejeztxela, Oct 18.
-A messeneer has arrived here from
the scene of tbe engagement near this
place bstween the government troops
and revolutionists, bringing newt that
after seven days terrible fighting,
nine thousand rebels under. General
Mendoza bad abandoned the field, hav
ing retired from their last position, six
miles from La Victoria Friday night,
retreating in tbe direction of Villa de
Oura. According to President Castro
the killed and wounded numbered
three thousand.
During the last days of the Sibling
the temperature rose to 116 degrees,
and a visitor to the scene of the en
gagement declares that he never saw
such a terrible spectacle as was pre
sented by the battlefield.
The victory of the government
troops, which is said to be due to the
personal courage of President Castro,
who, twice with a Mauser rifle in
hand, charged at the bead of bis foI
diers, is considered a serious set b ck
for thelcause of the revolutionists.
A courier from Valentis, who ar
rived here to-day reports that up to
yesterday that town was not in the
hands of the revolutionists.
CURRENT COMMENT
It is notable that none of the
Republican orators talk in favor of
a ship subsidy bill. There is evi
dently a desire on the. part of the
Republican managers to have the
scheme forgotten. If the Repub
licans should gain control of the
next House, however, there will be
no reticence shown. Brooklyn City
zen, Dem.
Reports from the coal re
gions are to the effect that one-half
the producing capacity of the an
thracite mines could be in operation
three days after an order came to
start work. It is stated that seven
hundred thousand tons a week could
be produced, exclusive of one- hun
dred and fifty thousand tons from
washeries. The normal output for
this time of year is two hundred
thousand tons a week. But as there
has been a deficit of twenty million
tons in the production it will take a
good while to catch wp.Jfhilaael

It is not the trusts per se to
which obiection is made, so much
as it is to the advantages the trusts
get from the sheltering tariff. The
British care nothing for 1 trusts, be
cause they have all continental Eu
rope's industries to act as regulators
of prices. Belgium, D ranee, tfer
many, Austria, these are all within
a week of English ports, some of
them within a dav. An English
trust tries the game of extortion at
its peril, for it meets foreign compe
tition instanter on equal terms.
Make the American tariff fair to the
consumers and the trusts, most of
them, go hang or, they may stay
and prosper, if they can. Tke mere
bigness of a combination is not what
signifies, but the giving of the big
fellow all sorts of underholds on the
little and weak fellow Chattanooga
