The Big New England Excursion Party Have a Reception at Willard Hall. oner Douginss was fora while the central figure on the stage at Willard hail last hight. He was there to formally welcome to Washington the great body of wholesale and retail grocers, members of that party of 1,050 geutlemen and ladies, all residents of New England, which came to this city on Tuesday nigut. The hall was crowded with the visitors and with New Engiand folks whose homes are here. Mr. T. J. Lasier presided and on the platform with him were Representative E. A. Morse. Vol. Fred Brackett, chief clerk Treasury department; Mr. Wm. H. Hutchinson, who has been very active in his endeavors to make things pleasant for the visit L. G. Emery and W. H. Webster. The Commissioner's speech was pleasant and brief. He compiumented the climate of the northeast, lauded the grocery business where- ever it was conducted, eulogized Washington | and its inbabitunts and expressed the hope that | the visit would be an enjoyable one.

They are Being Since the War of the Rebellion the minds of | Correspondence of Tux Evexrse Sra. naval inventors and others whose brains ere constantly working in the channels of de- struction have been puzzling over the ques- tion of torpedo warfare, which has really come to be about the most important topic in the whole range of naval architecture. During the war the torpedoes used were stationary, consisting of floating charges, sunken mines, or possibly series of charges drifting with the current. ‘There was nothing in vogue approximating the self propelling, or, as it is known in the ver- nacular, the auto-mobile torpedo. Ships that were to be blown up had to advance upon their own destruction, although there were occa- sions when daring spirits ventured to place the mines under the doomed vessel themselves. Since then, however, the inventive genius of man has devised a scheme for propelling these high explosives through the water by their own force or by shooting them from tubes or guns. This has materially increased their effective- ness by widening their range, and today the well-equiped battle ship must be provided with these instruments, -to use for offensive as wellas defensive purposes, THE TORPEDO BOAT. Besides constructing a torpedo that does not require handling after it has been launched the fertile brain of the inventor has hit upon the plan of building a special boat to carry torpedoes, with apparatus for starting them— small, light-draught, active vessels that can all around larger craft and make it extremely unpleasant for an enemy. The question of the extent to which thetorpedo can be developed and depended upon in naval warfare is bein, generally discussed, both in this country an abroad, and a paper recently written by Admiral Albini of the Beltish navy,of which an abstract is given in the last publication of the naval intelligence office, gives considerable space to this topic, besides showing what may be taken aa the English attitude.

Business Men of the West End Taking Steps to Establish One. A meeting of several active business men of the West End was held last evening to discuss the feasivility of organizing a national bank, to be located on Penusylvania avenue between 17tH and 22d streets. It was stated that a bank within the above limit would be a great con- Venience tu the business interest of the West End, which is so rapidly increasing as to de- mand banking facilities nearer than 15th street or Georgetown. Steps toward organization Were taken aud each one present subscribed toward the stock. A committee will wait upon the residents and business men west of loth Street to give them an opportunity to take stock in the new bank.

Much gratification was ex- Pressed at the satisfuctory showing of net earn- ings. The whole net increase comes from lines West of the Obio river, where there was an act- wal decrease in expenses of $1,730. East of the Fiver. while there was a good tcrease in earn- ings, the expenses have grown so as to leave a net decrease in earnings of $12,343. This is ac- counted for by tue statement that compara- lively large sums were expended for better- Tents and increasing the conveniences and com.orts of the service. A partof the in- creased expense came under the head of main- | tenance of way. New ballast und rails were laid in many places. ‘Ihe heavy trafic ga Fise to a natural increase of expense, und i provements were also added to cars and train service. The Baltimore Sun today says: The increase of $62,756 in net earnings over the heavy busi- ness of August, 1858, is regarded as an excel- | leat showimg. The business for September has | powerful. He has great faith inthe torpedo of the pres- ent day and its future development, but places no confidence in torpedo boats, especially the smaller types. Regarding them he says: “To admit that it is the duty of the torpedo boat to defend the battle ship is to recognize the im- potence of the large ship against her puny ad- versary, and if in order to exist the ships must depend on the support of these satellites we must confess that their existence would not be justified and that it would be better to give up building them in the future. How the torpedo boat can contribute efficaciously to the defense of a large ship I fail to understand, and the reason is evident. If they keep within the distance of 400 yards from the ship they will in no way im- pede the attack, seeing that if the enemy’s tor- do boat reaches that limit, even though heavily cannonaded, she will have fulfilled her mission, as she will have been able to launch her torpedo at the striking range. If they keep between 400 and 1,000 yards off they will interfere with the fire of the ship's artillery, which is much more efficacious than that of her satellite, be- cause better distributed, more rapid and more if, on the other hand, they remain within the orbit of the ship, at a distance be- yond 1.500 vards, they will afford no protection at all, becauwe; though barring one door of ap- proach they leave a dozen open. THE TORPEDO, “The torpedo, however, is certain to be much developed, but in proportion as it expands so the advant: of building special vessels for its use will disappear, because the greater space and weight required will not permit the pres- ent small dimensions of the vessels to be pre- served, and in increasing the size of the sli the necessity will be felt of endowing it with those prerogatives which were sacrificed to the power of the torpedo, and thus by gradual steps the torpedo boat will be converted into the large ship, using the new form of torpedo under the same conditions as her adversary. ‘That vessel will win the day in which the best combination has been made of all existing weapons, but the torpedo boat will have then become a battle ship. ITS DEVELOPMENT. “Tf the question is asked, in what way and for what reason the torpedo itself will be* de- veloped, the reply is that the torpedo must follow the analogous progress which led from the 25-ton gun to that of 100 tons. In other words, the eternal struggle between offense and defense will shoruy be extended to the torpedo and the hull of aship. So long as the torpedo was confined to small special craft of slow speed, and consequently its power was not fully shown, it was natural that naval architecis should not look upon it as a serious danger; but from the moment when a consider- able increase of speed was given both to the weapon itself and the boat which carried it, the necessity of providing defense against it becomes obvious. THE STRUGGLE BAS THUS COMMENCED, “If the latest ships are fairly furnished with protection we must anticipate that the torpedo will shortly be considerably developed and will carry ges of 400 pounds and above, and will probably take the form of a penetrating projectile discharged from a subaqueous gun. Whatever increase of power may be given to it the torpedo wall remain one of the most formid- abie weapons of the large ship, but it will cer- tainly never realize the ambitious aim of caus- ing the large ship to disappear. Just as the great rise in the power of artillery led to the entire abandoument of the old form of ship, and from the monitor type we have progressed to the Duilio and the Lepanto, 80, if it is intended to oppose the rising power of subaqueous wespone by ships which are entirely secure against their attack, we must give up the old ideas and scek inspiration for the constructions of the future ata new fount. Battle ships will have to Le built prin- cipaily with a view to resist with immunity the attack of torpedoes and to avoid being sunk by artillery fire. All other qualitics must be sutis- fied only withix restricted limits; that is to say, their measure must be determined in con- formity with a not too great extension of size and of cost, those qualities which have been given up in order to secure invulnerability be- ing assigned to special vesselu.” ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.

The county bridges in course of erection across the Monocacy river at various points are at last nearing completion, and none too soon for the preservation of the business interests of the city. Several of the bridges will be open for travel in at least ten days, and the larger bridges will, it is expected, be ready in time for the fair. During the recent heavy rain the river has been greatly swollen and persons attempt- ing to ford the angry stream have done so at the risk of their lives. Several narrow and thrilling escapes from drowning have occurred. Yesterday James Warfield of Frederick and his three-year-old son attempted to cross at the Ceresville ford in a buggy. In the middle of the stream the horse refused to go further and Warfield climbed out on the animal's back to | make him go. He was washed off, and having but one arm could not swim. He was finally rescued, The child and team were swept down the stream, the horse finally managing to reach the shore. The life of the child was saved with great difficulty. The Maryland institute for the deaf and dumb, located in this city, opened today for the full term with eighty pupils, male and female, in attendance.

The institution is supported by state and the pe are given a thorough English education and taught some useful trade or profession. The recent unveiling of the monument to the tora! of Gen. Reno on South Mountain, has revived interest in the proposed shaft on the Monocacy battle field to preserve the memory of the conflict waged there between the Union and rebel forces in July, 1864. At the recent national encampment of the G.A.R., at Mil- waukee, the question of the erection of this monument was considered at one of the secret meetings of the organization and it was posi- tively decided to aid in the project. The Ver- mont veterans are tar grew interested in the acheme, as they had many comrades in the fight at Monocacy. The site upon which it is proposed to erect the shaft will enable it to be readily seen from passing trains between Balti- more and Washington via the Metropolitan branch.

In the cross-examination of Edward Burns, cashier of the American national bank in New York, who was a witness for the prosecution in the Ives case yesterday, the witness went over the ground for the demand made for the old certificates of the C., H. and D. stock. Ives did not demur when asked for them, but remarked that it was rather inconvenient. By a juror—“Why did you not demand the stock before?” ‘Because I did not want it.” By another juror—*Were you told at Ives’ office that some of the stock could not be got, as it was in Cincinnati?” “No, sir.” Immediately after the 2 o'clock recess Dis- trict Attorney Fellows arose abruptly and an- nounced thatthe people would rest their case. Everybody was taken by surprise. Mir. Brooks, for the defense, asked the re- corder to instruct the jury to acquit the de- fendant because there was no direct corrobo- ration of the charge that there was & fraudulent overissue of stock. The recorder replied that he would let the case go to the jury. An ad- journment was taken to give counsel time to prepare for the defense, FOREIGN NOTES.

National Daughters of Rebekah. — At Columbus, Ohio, the grand parade of the 1L0.0.F. and Patriarchs Militant yesterday was two and a half hours in passing and the num- ber of men in line exceeded 20,000, being divided into three divisions, with a large mili- tary array, among whom were the Montgomery (Ala) Greys, the Loyal Legion (200), Louis- ville, and Toledo Cadets, It was the grandest demonstration in numbers and eclat this order ever held.in America. The only event to mar the day occurred about noon, when Grand Sire John C. Underwood met with a very pain- ful accident and only escaped death by a mir- acle, He and his staff were riding along the street, when the general's horse slipped and fell. He fell un his horse, and while in this position another horse, ridden by a mem- ber of his staff, struck him about the head with ite feet. At first it was supposed his injuries were fatal, but, though severely hurt, he per- sisted in taking part in the parade and tonight is on duty as usual. Last night a military reception was given the general in the senate chamber, after which the ceremonies of ‘Decoration of chivalry” took = at city hall, followed by # grand ball in onor of Sead Sire Underwood and the Sov- ereign Grand lodge.

There are Seventy-two of Them Exist- ing Now—All Came From Asia. From the London Times. M. de Quatrefages, the leading French ethnol- ogist, in presenting the second part of his “Introduction to the Study of the Human Races” to the academy of sciences has given an interesting summary of his general conclusions with regard to the origin and distribution of mankind. Neglecting the minor differences, he esti- mates that there are no fewer than seventy-two distinct races in the human species, All these descend or branch off from three fundamental types—the black, the yellow, and the white— which had their origin at the great central mass of northern Asia, which is thus the cradle of mankind, Representatives of these different types and the races which sprang from them are still to be found there, . The whites, according to M, de Quatrefages, appear to have originated on the weet of the central mass, the yellows on the north, and the blacks on the south. The whites extended westward and northward, giving birth to three secondary types, the Finnish, the Semetic, and the Aryan, if we except the Allophyles, which form a separate group. Their area of distri- bution is continuous, as is that of the yellows, because of the extensive land surface of the Eurasian continent. The yellows spread east- ward and crossed into America. ‘the whites and yellows checked or blended with each other, producing many varieties of man. The blacks, or negro type, which originated on the south of the central mass, was forced by the nature of the continent, and probably by the attacks of the whites and yellows, to go south into Africa and east into the Indian archipel- ago, or Melanesia, The proto-Semites ar- rested their distribution in the north of Africa and the mixture of the two races gave rise to the negroid populations, In the center and south of Africa the blacks con- tinued in their ethnic purity until the infiltra- tion of other races from Europe and the north of Africa in modern times. ‘bose which re- mained in their original home became blended with the whites and yellows, giving rise to the dravidian populations which pass by shades into the three fundamental types, ‘As for the Allophyles, represented by the race of Cro-Magnon, they occupied parts of Europe and North Africa, from which they ex- tended to the Canaries, The three funda- mental types also found themselves in Oceanica, the Allophylian whites occupying Polynesia, the blacks Melanesia, the yellows Malasia. The latter were, according to M, de Quatrefages, the last to come into the maritime world. The peopling of America dates from the uaternary period and is due to migrations of \fferent types—Allophylic white and yellow, blending with the local quaternary races, which also belonged to the yellow type. Europe, since the tertiary ages, has received ouly Allophylian whites, Fins’ and Aryans, The number of races now existing ina pure state is exceedingly restricted, if, indeed, there is a single one which can be accepted as such, Perhaps some little groups, protected by their isolation, such as the Mincopies, may show an identity of characters attest.ug their ethnic homogeneity.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuonsty true of all classes of news, but expecially so in regard to Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPHCIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and 11S MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES AR THAN THREE TIMES AS POWRR- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. It is therefore able to print each day « full ‘report of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. —"0: By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAK AND ®& AAL Dis- PATCHES, and with the ditierence of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HiMISPib for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving literally nothing in the way of news from burope, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. | — Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in tae publication of the NEWS OF OLR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the reguiar dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly trom its ow office to the general network of Wciegraph system touching every city, town and hamiet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of cousequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atiantic aud l’a- cific Uceans. ine 7 NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —0:— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN FIVE TiMbs AS MANY KEGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- Livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE SAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY j MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE OPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL PHE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGELHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. —:e: — In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STARK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PREOSS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are icast able to stand. —:0:—— © The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the tig- ures given below.
