SUBMARINE BOAT TESTSATIWORT Newport, R. 1., April 30. —The naval powers of the entire world will await with keen interest the results i ol the contest between submarine boats which began in Narragansctt I Bay today under the direction of the j Navy Department of the United | States. The boat that shows up best in the eyes of the naval experts will be adopted for the United States navy and it is net improbable that the whole world will follow suit. Two types of boats have entered the contest. One of these, the Lake, represents the inventor whose name it bears. The other, the Octopus, is of the Holland type. Both boats have been here for some time turning up for the official trials. It is claimed lor the Lake that she has made 8% knots an hour running awash. The Holland Company claims an equal speed for their boat, the Octopus. The selection of the boat, however, is not to depend upon speed alone. Durability, hability and deep diving will all enter into the summing up by the judges of the merits of the boats. The navy board appointed to su pervise the tests consists of Captain Adolph Marix, president; Naval Con structor D. W. Taylor, Commander Burns T. Walling, Lieutenant Com mander William S. Smith, Lieuten ant John W. Timmcns and Ensign F. H. Sadler, recorder. Every precaution has been taken by the Navy Department to insure fair r-ess in the trials and to bring out the merits of the respective boats. The rules laid down by the trial board and approved by the Secretary of the Navy provide for turning trials to prove the maneuvering powers of the boats for torpedo firing while sub merged and under motion, for mining and countermining, as well as tests of endurance and liability. In order *c test the last-named quality the toats, each taking a complement of men, will bo sunk, side by side, at The torpedo station dock here for 24 hours as a test of the comfort of the little craft when necessary. Severe as this test may seem to the layman, neither officers, men or owners seem «o dread it in the least. The speed trials will be over a measured course of one mile, under three conditions—light or cruising condition, with all ballast tanks >mpty; awash, with part of the con ning tower showing and ready for in stant diving, and submerged, with tho top of the conning tower not less than ten feet from the surface. For each speed trial, unless special cir cumstances render it inexpedient, three runs will be made over the course at a maximum speed, andj four or five runs made back and forth ( at progressively reduced speeds, as determined by the trial board. The submarine, carrying a comple ment of torpedoes, will make sub merged runs and discharge in the fbortest time possible all torpedoes at a target. The first torpedo will be •discharged at 2,500 yards. Each boat will be examined as to strength, ma terial and workmanship. As a furth er test of strength, each boat will be submerged to a depth not greater than the owners may desire, but no boat will be accepted as filling all the requirements unless it shall withstand without damage a running submer gence of 200 feet. The board has decided that the tests shall be comparative, as it would be impracticable to have sim ultaneous competitive tests. It is expected that the trials will last ten! clays or two weeks.

BASEBALL AS A REFORMER. i Preacher Thinks Filipinos Would Quit Their Meanness. Chicago Dispatch in New York World. Baseball as an uplift in the colonies was indicated today. "The Filipinos are a charitable, courteous people, and with proper ed ucation and development will, I be lieve, become a groat nation," said the Rev. George William Wright, a missionary, recently returned from Manilla, in addressing the Chicago Presbytery. "I think they are just as honest as other people. They are natural gamblers, and this is one of the most difficult problems with which we have to deal. "I think the introduction of base ball and other American sports among the natives will result in the elimination of the gambling evil.
