“THE STOLEN BODY Whalen and Burke Held to Answer for the Stewart Robbery. © Wt 60) Orsorertaemi DID THEY CONFESS IT? One of the Prisoners Tells a Curious Story. FRUITLESS POLICE EFFORTS. The Reward Increased to Fifty Thousand Dollars. The chase still continues, but without any percep- tible advance toward the place of concealment of the body. Whether the prisoners Whalen and Burke are guilty is yet to be determined, the magistrate having ound them over for trial, As to their guilt er innocence opinion secms pretty evenly divided. By the one side their admissions and confessions Gre pointed to as conclusive, especially as they cor- roborated the same by such minute details, many of which are established-collaterally. The opponcnts of this view explain the confessions on the theory that the men are clever cracksmen, and were only secking to divert the police from the true crime by them committed or about to be committed. The fact’ still remains that the body is as far as ever from being found, JUDGE HILTON INVISIBLE. All efforts to see Judge Hilton at his office or resi- ence in Thirty-fourth strect yesterday proved un Qvailing. It was ascertained by 4 Heap reporter at the former place, however, that the case had not as- @umed any new phase, Shortly before one o'clock in the afternoon Judge Hilton called at the Police Cen- tral Office and inquired for Inspector Mur- ray, but as that official was absent at the time the Judge immediately took his departure. Among the rumors prevalent was one setting forth that an important conference took place at Judge Hil- ton’s house last night and thatsome prominent police Officials were present for the purpose of exchanging views in regard to the most judicious course now to be pursued in the search for the stolen body. This Tumor could not, however, be traced, to @ny authoritative source, and the conference Qlluded to is believed to be that held be- tween Judge Hilton, Superintendent Walling, Inspector Murray, Captain McCullagh and Coroner Planagen, at Police Headquarters, on Monday evening, &s set forth in the Hanaupot yesterday. Judge Hilton has decided to increase the reward offered for the re- covery of the remains from $25,000 to $50,000, but will not withdraw the clause which stipulates that the rewerd is not payable until after the conviction of the thieves. : “READY TO ARREST’ AGAIN. The police claim that they are upon the track of the chief of the gang of miscreants that stole the body and that he will -probably be arrested to- day. This man is a doctor of medicine, who ‘some time since engaged lodgings in &® house close to St, Mark’s churchyard. He attended the service in the church on several ov fasions, and apparently displayed a great interest in the inscriptions upon the tombstones. He was Seen strolling about the grounds more than once. He moved away immediately after. the theft of the remains and has up to the pres- ent managed to’ concoal “his whereabouts. It is alleged that this nan was the head and front of the whole crime; that he planned the whole thing ‘and induced the others to carry out tho detwils, As it might defeat the ends of justice his nume and the location of his whilom domicile are withheld for the Present. WHALRYN AND BUBKE ARRAIGNED AGAIN, Everybody in Jefferson Market Police Court was) on the very tiptoe of anticipation yesterday. “Hank” Whalen and William Burke, Captain Byrnes’ mysteri- ous prisoners, were to be finally disposed of by Judge Morgan and the Captain was to be made to tell all about that man on Sixth avenue who informed him of the prisoners’ complicity in the Stewart vault rob- Dery. The examination room was crowded by police Officers, a8 on the previous day, and the mother of one and the partner of the other were newr Coun- sellor Stiner, who put in an early appearance. Captain Byrnes, and the two Captives quarded by | police in citizens’ dress, arrived shout twenty minutes past one P.M. A few minntes later the brief com- Plaint based upon Captain Byrnes’ sworn statement, ! published in yesterday's HenaLp, was brought in and signed by him, It reads as follows:— at, Sxconn Distuicr, State of Now York, City end Co of New ¥ Thomas Byrnes, captain of the Piftoent! being dul; Aays that on or about the & ‘vember, 187 recinet police, 4d county of New ¥ Jand and W! m Burke, both now here, did the wcting in ert together, felaniously ren body of w human being from the interment, for the purpose of sel for ‘the purposo of dissection, Wantonnes id remove . i art from the vault in jark's arch, situare on the See: Ninth aad Tenth streots, being a grave yi from the fact that the said Henry Vroeinud and William Burke did acknowledge and contess to this ent, in the: Presence of witnesses, that thoy had possession v! afore. dead body the said A.

At any rate, he didn’t say an me all about your capture and your treat- meut.”” begs you the Hknap reporter ?”* said Burke, “I am!" «Then you're the man that Captain Byrnes warned ns especially not to talk to. He told me and Hawk here and my old woman that we must not talk or give anything to the Hrnap at sll. About my arrest, Pl tell you. On Wednesday last I was standing on the corner of Christopher strect and Greenwich avenno, with Hawk Vreeland here, when an officer came up to me and touched me on theshoulder, Says he, ‘I want you for something you did on Sixth avenuo last night.’ I knew I had not done anything, so I went with him to the Fiflecnth precinct»station house. When I got there Captain Byrnes accused me of being one of the cracksmen concerned in the Manhattan Bank | burglary. id I to him, ‘Cap, I know nothing about it Then he turned to me and said, ‘I’ll make you know all abont it before I’ve got done with you. ‘Take him down stairs at once and lock him up. Put the baer across the door.’ It was not long until he had me up again, and showed me a letter from Wright, who is doing time in the Penitentiary on tne Island for counterfeiting. Wright is jealous of the attentions I am paying his wife, whe swears that she will never live with him again. In the letter to Captain Byrnes he told him that Iwas concerned. in the Manhattan Bank burglary, and alot of stuff with which he hoped to get’ me fixed. But to my astonish- ment the Captain, when I tol him | knew nothing about this job, informed me that he had me for the Stewart matter. Well, I knew nothing about that at all; but he pe sisted in saying that he had heard sbout our having buried something in New Jersey, and had ‘piped’ us until Saturday, when he lost us. He gave me all that story about the man on the avenue and what he told him, and finally I acknowledged that wo haut buried a ‘stiff.’ The wardan will tell you that a burglar’s ‘stif” is a kit of tools. We did bury that in New Jersey, at Chatham. We did have the wagon, and did go to the hotel; but we were bound all the way to Dover to crack & place, not to bury a body. Woe were spoiled by the arrest, and when the Captain was bound to go over the ground in search of the ‘stiff’ we gave him the kid’ to his heart’s content. Henk here chimed in, when Byrnes arrested Lim; and now I'll tell you that the night the Captain had us in that wood near Chatham he offered us 335,090, to be sent wicrever we said, and to let us go tree right thero and then, and never go back to New York, if we would onty give him that body. If we had it don’t you think We would have done so? He'll never convict us on that, whatever he may do on anything eise. Iam ao cracksinan, and a first rate one, as Warden Finn will tell you. But the Captain will make no reputation out of ane.”” ‘ Whalen, alias Vroeland, has only been three weeks out of prison, and corroborated Burke's statement in every particular, He says that bis family is respect able if he is a “black sheep.” Mrs. Burke said last night to a Hrraup reporter:— “Sly former husbend was mad with jealousy because I told him I hed resolved to wed Billy and never Jive with him (Wright) again. He vowed vengeance aguinst both and wrote alotter to the Captain. ‘The unknown men of Sixth avenue is, they say, a fellow who has just beep released from Sing man after do! D part ten years, and was to have taker the projecte burglary; but when he learned Whalen, alias Vree- lan, wae in it he went to Captain Byrnes and got them all arrested. He hates Whalen.” ‘The prisoners will be removed to the Tombs to-day. HUNTING IN PATERSON, Considerable excitement prevailed in Paterson, N. J., yesterday, owing to ® ramor that detectives aged in the vicinity of Riverside, a suburb of in searching for the remains of Mr, Stewart. It appears that a clew, or what appeared to be such, had been discovered at Hacken: » the story being to et that a few days after the remains were stolen—about the lith or 12th of October— two Italians were cbeerved to pass through the town with @ suspicious looking * pack- age, which they kopt between them on the seat of alight buggy... ‘The “object” was of irregular, indescribable shape, done up loosely in cither a bag or cloth of dark color; it might be an oileloth. The men stopped but for a few minutes at TL pusack, at Simmons’ tavern, a low plice on tho outskirts of ‘the town, and but one of them lett the vehicio at a time, ‘They seemed to have driven out from the direction of Hoboken, and must have driven fast, as their horse was sweaty and much blown. It wax about eight o'cioek in the evening when the men stopped there, and they ingnired the road to Riverside, near Pat- érson, and drove oft in that direction. The theory is that the body imay have been brought over the Hobo- ken ferry wnd taken tothe house of a notorious “fence” in West Hoboken, near the Paterson plank road, After making inqniry in every direction that prom- ised w furnish any more light on the matter one of the offivers returned to this city wnd the other drove back the way they had enme to Hackensack, to prose- cute further inquiries in that direction.

CLAIM OF THE HEIRS-AT-LAW OF ROGER MERRITT TO THE GROUND ON WHICH PORTCHESTER STANDS. About the year 1805 there died in the village of Portchester, Westchester couaty, bir. Roger Merritt, & gentleman of large landed property, who flourished in that section of country in both colonial and Revo- Intionary days. Portchester then consisted of a mere handful of houses, the chief and commanding one among them being that of Merritt's, which stood ona rising eminence near the heart of the present town, half surrounded by a grove of locust trees and overlooking the waters of Long Island Sound, Mr. Merritt held the land for miles around in fees and ‘was almost monarch of all he surveyed. Westchester county was then but thinly populated and real ostate was adrug in tho market. Merritt lived after the fashion of the country gentlemen of the olden time, wes tond of outdoor sports, and practised a wide and warm hospitality. When the war of the Revolution broke out he cxpoused the patriot side and when it was over he retired to his home in Port- chester, where he passed the remainder of his years in peace, houor and compete He died intestate, but in his lifetime he mado a lease of the property which now constitutes the town of Portchester to different parties for a term of ninety- nine years. It is alleged by the heirs of Mr. Merritt, who are now about entering on a legul contest for the recovery of their rights to the property iu question, that this lease was of record until within ten or twelve years ago, whesf, it is contended, it must have been abstracted from the record and nothing lett to denote its existence, exept the reforence in the index. The Look is on ile in the Clerk’s office at White Plains, and the leaf to which tho index refers is torn out. The heirs, ho now livi on of making wnd retaining a copy of laim, to, that eveg same of the present prop erty holders holding reflty covered by the lease of Royer Merritt admit tho existence of such a lease, but insist that the heirs-at-law have no rom: ely, because owing to tts destraction it will be impossible for them to prove its exact contents. ‘The number of the heirs-at-law varies from torty to eighty. ‘They reside, not only in the State of New York, but in Michigan und other States. General Merritt, Collector ot the Port, is said to be one of the heirs and in lineal succession to Royer Morritt. ‘Phe area cf the property in dispute ix about two miles long and one mile wide, and much of it is along the water front on making it thereby very valuable. to be worth all slong frou $5,000,000 aud its prospective value when New vity has spread away over Westchester county is altogether incalenlable. Tho town of Portchester, which in Roger Yerritt’s tine was a hamlet of about a hundret poole, is now a snug towa of 12,000 inhabitants, with « great future batore it, About a dozen of the heirs b of oxd ude aged as their question of the remedy to be adopted in thelr caso was discussed at some length. Steps have already been taken for the purpose Of minute rescarch and investigetion, and contidence is entertained by counsel that the heirs’ right to maintain an setion and to recover will be sustained, The plans for future proceedings are forthe present kept privaie in order that nothing aay intervene to mur tho access of the suit, ALDERMANIC DEADLOCK. The Board of Aldermen of Peterson, N. J., held a stormy session on Monday evening that was pro- tracted until long after widnighi. There wero several bones of contention, one being in reference io the purchave of drugs for the supply of the Department of Charities and Correction. Great abuses were al- logody and hot words pkesed betweon Alderman Bur- nest and Alderman Fortune, Chairman of the Com- mittee, But tite excitement culminated when it was discovered that among the claims agains the city, re- od by the Compiroller, aud Which are usually i paid without a question, was an old bill of © 1A. B. Woodrulf tor services us assoviate city counsel prior to 1875. ‘Tho Bill a& presented on Mon- day night amounted to about $2,000, with interest for three and alate years. This bill grow out of the em- ployment of Mr. Woodruff as associate counsel to as- sist in defending the city in Ure numerous cer- tiorari suits bronght by property owners in reference to slieged illegal and exoossive atroct uesessments for the years 1973 and 1sit, Atter debating the sulfect for severat ho at times in the most Violent manner, the fight resulted in a failure to adopt any portion of the Comptroller's re- port. ‘The consequence was that no chains included therein could be paid, and yestorday the City Hall was thronged with persons who came to receive their money for services and supplies to the city, none of whieh coald be paid. One of the stoutest champions for the payment of Mf, Woodruff’. bill was Alderman Quinn, When the ineasure was defeated he refused to vote for the pay- ment of the city officers’ salaries including the Al- dermen, of course—and enough were found to defeat that measure alo, so that the Aldermen are compelled ty dy without ‘luis salavics as Weil, SPECIFICATIONS OF WRONG DOIXG CALLED FOR—A HABIT OF CRITICISING BY ARMY O¥FI- VERS CONDEMNED—A SUGGESTION TO GENERAL GIBBON, f Wasnrsason, Nov. 19, 1878. ‘The Secretary of War has received and refersed to General Sherman a lettet trom the Secretary of the Interior sharply replying to certain statements by General Sheridan in tho latter's report. Secretary Schurz says:— ‘These statements, as fur as they reflect upon the conduct of the Lidian service, are of a Gecouiog and somewhet vague nature; but it must be assumed thut General Sheridan would not hayqanade them und per- mitted them to become public had he not in his pos- session specific ipformation concerning certain agen- cies and certain branches of the Indian service, to which these statements may be individually applied. General Sheridan, in wn official document, gives it as his opinion that “With wise management the amounts appropriated by Congress ought to be sufficient, if practically applied to the exact purposes specitied;’’ ut that “tho reports of the department commanders would indicate a different result, except in the cuse of the Hed Cloud and Spotted ‘Tail bands of Sioux.” He wouild certainly not have expressed such an opinion without being eeaaatnted in detail with the appropri- ations by Col s und the spe- cific pe ge for which they were intended. It is to be supposed that before making the sweeping charge bove qnoted he was cognizant of the specific cases in which those epwopnanom were either not applied at ali or diverted from the purpose intended by Congress. You will greatly oblige me b requesting General Sheridan to communicate facts as may be in his possesston, giving names of agents, dates and other circumstances which warrant charge, which includes all Indian agencies in the military division of the Missouri except those of Red Cloud and Spotted ‘fail Sioux. It hus been my constant and earnest cudeavor aince { pears cp my ae duties to vorrect all abuses in the ian service that came to ny knowledgo, and General Sheridan, by furnishing such specific turor- mation, would thereby render a yreater service to this department, as well os to the Indiuns, than by mere testi ete. As be has put forth a sweeping cl D called for. DAD HARI OF ARMY OFFICERS, I make this request with particalay urgency, in view of the fuct that certain inilitary officers secm of late to have fallen into the habit of indulging officially and publicly in general reflections on the Indian ser vice, without taking the trouble to substantiate them with such statements in detail ay would facilitate the discovery and correction of abuses, Ido not depro- cate criticism at all—I rather invite it; but when it is Seneials nue forth there is, it soem# to me, a certain fairness due from one branch of the public service to another. I should not, for instance, deem any officer of this Gopartment justified in blaming in geueral terms the army for its failure to intercept the un- away Cheyenne on their murch of several hundred miles through Kansas and Nebraska and across the Ubion Pacitle Railroad without being able to point out ceriain instances of mismanagement or neglect. if such instances hed come to the knowledge of this departinent, which they have jot, I should huve con- sidered it due to the army that they be specith-aily ascertained and stated before indulging in a general arraignment. 1 think it ia asking too much in the interest of the public service that such a rule be observed by officers of the army likewise. . WHY THE SIOUX WERE REMOVED. Genezal Shcridan’s intimation that thegRed Cloud and Spotted Tail Sioux were allowed to select their present locations owing to a ‘systematic working of the case” by “traders and contractors” is.also made the subject of emphatic comment by Secretary Schurz. He states that this policy was adopted by the de- partment on the earnest advice of the distinguished lndisn fighter and manager, General Crook, who, as the result of his long experience with the Sioux, op- posed any policy that would force the Sioux against their unanimous und determined protest to stay on Missouri River as ecriously endangering our peaceful relations with those powerful tribes; and the Secre- tary adds that so far, at least, their loyal conduct seems to justify the course adopted, “Secrctary Schurz challenges General Sheridan to produce evi- dence ia support of his imputations, and, meanwhile, remarks that it would not have been asking too much of bim to inform himself a littie better of the cireum- stances before publishing his assertion in an official document, A REPLY TO GENERAL GIBBON. The Secretary also mukes the following comment upon the remark of General Gibbon, that ‘There is an entire absence of responsibility in the Indian ser- vice;”"— Tf Genéral Gibbon, when writing hig report, was coynizant of specific cases of wrong doing, he would have obliged department by peporting them, and if, after sueh report, the charges thus made hed not been inquired into ‘and the guilty persons held to their proper responsibility, the swesping statements contained in his report would be accepted as justi- fledy If he will communicate such spoe tion now he will find that there is no such sponsibility as he alleges.

HE TURNS HIS BACK ON THE HUB AND STARTS POR THE SAND LOTS—-WHAT HE THINKS OF HIS PARTY—BUTLER DEFEATED BY THE sup- PORT OF BUMMERS AND WHISKEY GUZZLERS. Boszox, Nov, 19, i878. This evening, at six o'clock, Denis Kearney, the great labor agitator from the San Francisco sand lots, turned his back upon Boston, shook the dust of the modern Athens trom his boots and turned his face to the~ setting sun. Ho was accompanied by his wife, his youngest brother and two children. He purchased, two days ago, through tickets for the party from Boston to San Francisco, a sleeping berth tor his wife and child, and second class seats for him- seit and his brother. He left the Hub anwept, un- honored and unsung, so far aa politics aro concerned. ‘Two prime causos led to his sudden departure—the opposition expressed by the democrats who follow General Butler against his meddling in the municipal fight, aud the sudden appearance of dissensions in the workingmen’s party in San Francisco. Mr. Kearney found @ good deal of antagonism to his methods as soon 4s the State election was over. He found 4 strong belief in the :inds of some of General Butler's warmest supporters that he had injured their candidate's chances, and they implored him to dosist and not divide the party in the city campaign. At the Nassau Hall Coavention he found a determined body of men-—# minority of the assemblage, to be sure, but such w minovity as can never be conciliated—and po Bw gine rr him as a common disturber. The political wirepatiers were prepared to pack every meeting he decided to hvid and ery him down, The prospect was not encouraging. ‘Then came a long’ le from San Franciseo, announcing that certain men in the labor movement had been talking advan- toge of hit absence to undermine bis power, and that there was danger of a serioua revolt, He was advised to gome hone at once. And so ho decided to give up the fight in Boston and save his prestige and power in California if possible, PROSPRCTS OF ‘THE LAOR PARLY.

OUR TRADE WITH MEXICO. clinched MONISTEB FOSTER ON THE COMMERCIAL CONDI- TION OF OUR SISTER REPUBLIC—-PROSPECTS BOR AN AMERICAN MARKET WITHRI HER BOR- DEgS. Wasiineron, Nov. 19, 1878. Mr. John G. Foster, United States Minister to Mexico, in response to a request from the Manufac- turers’ Association of the ‘Northwest, has prepared and sent to the State Department a very elaborate puper to be transmitted to the above named associa- tion, giving the results of a careful study made by him concerning tho prospects and available means for an extension of our commerce with Mexico, This papor embraces three subjects: — First—Tho means of communication and prospects of a railroad connection with tho city of Mexico. He shows thet onr government can do something toward the improvement of communication with Mexico by steamships, but that without an internstional railroad to the capital no considerable trade can be maintained. Under this head he aims to establish the following points: 1. hat the Mexican government will not consent to any treaty, stipalation or other intornational agree- ment for the joiut protection of such a road and that it requires all the employés and the capital of the company formed for that purpose to become Mexican for all purposes of the enterprise, 2. That the last Congress positively refused to grant @ eharter for an American company. The present Congress has maniiested the same opposition. 3. That the Me an government, owing to ite financial condition, is absolutely unable to pay any subsidy for tho eonstruction of the road. ‘TARIFF AND TRADE REGULATIONS. ‘The second subject discussed covers the tariff and trade regulations of Mexico. Minister Foster shows that on many important srtieles desirable to intro- duce from the United States the tariff is prohibitory, and on most others it renders them luxurios, with a very Kmited population as consumers. Interior du- ties, depreciated currency, heavy rates of exchange, long credits, &c., are mentioned by Mr. Foster as pro- senting great obstacles to American trade, In the remainder of the paper Minister Foster sets forth that the revolutionary condition of Mexico hus, in the first place, impoverished the country to such an extent as to render it impossible to sustain a longer forsign trade; secondly, caused such general inse- curity aud disorder ay to render life and property un- and, thirdly, made contraband trade so preva- lent as to completely unsestle honest commerce, THE FOREIGN MERCHANTS, In the course of his paper Mr. Foster remarks that English merchants have almost completely with- drawn from Mexico, for much the same reason that Americans cannot or do not enter it. There is not one English house in the a of Vera Cruz and not more thun six in the entire Republic. The import trado is icipally in the hands of the Germans and Span mainly the former, T) © »mans, in Mr. Foster's opinion, have fairly es. ueu their prom. inence by years of patient study of the country and persistent application to the Nbiastiene: ‘The Hamburg merchants establish their branches in various paris of Mexico and send their educated youths out to serve an apprenticeship in the business and afterward assume the management of the branch houses. They become thoroughly familiar with the condition and practices of the country, and master-| the intricacies of the tariff and interior dutie: Revolutions and changes of government do not disturb their equanimity, mney becomeaceustomed to ‘forced loaus’’ and extraordinary contributions. Notwithstanding the irregularities of the Custom House officials and the embarrassmcnts of the contra- band trade, they keep the even tenor of their way, and usually, though not always, in middle or eX. vanced life are able to go back to Germany with a competence, If the American merthants are willing to pursue the same policy and subject: themselves to the sate annoyances Mr. Foster doubts not they will succeed likewise. JAMITED FIELD FOR AMERICANS, Mr. Foster thinks it probable that until the above indicated obstacles to a large trade with Mexico are removed our merehanis will, as 4 general thing, con- tinue to find more inviting markets beyond the Equa- tor and on the opposite side of the globe, but he as- serts nevertheless that there is a limited fiald which may be ag en by American merchants and manv- rere. He 8 ‘he Mexican free list enables thenr to import en- giues, machinery and agricultural implements, and to the extent that these are used our importers can suc- cessfully compete with those of — Iburope. A careful examination of tite Mexican tariff will re- : articles which may be introduced with proti even the goods which, owing to high duties and charges, become luxuries in this market can be sold to a Limited extent; and I regard it as entirely feasible and safe for American manufacturers to con- tinue their efforts in sindred branches and establish in this city warchouses for the exhibition and sale of the preducts of their factories, In this way the local inerehants wud consumers will have a practical dis- play of the saperior morits of American goods snd wares, and their sale can be gradually increased and a permanent market crested, JACKSON-HUNT. © The Court presided over by Judge J. F. Daly was crowded again yesterday by a curious assemblage of spectators, who had con:s to listen to the further pro- ceedings in the trial of the suit of William O. Jackson against his aunt, Mra, Anns M. Hunt, to recover moneys loaned under an alleged promise of marriage, As on provious days, all the parties to the sait wore in Court and the female portion of the numerous reti- nue—composed of the plaintiff and several of her rela- tives aud friends—were becomingly and fashionably attired, Tho hearing yesterday, in pursuance of an agreement cntered into between counsel on Saturday, was to bo confined to the examin- ation of two witnesses on cach side. On the opening of the’ Court the plaintiff? was recalled and briefly examined; his testimony, however, de- veloping no new facts, The next witness called was Dr. Frederick Newman, 2 gentleman who had con- ducted the negotiations between Mrs. Uunt and her stepson in Boston at the ime that she made the set- tlement with him, giv $4,000 for a release of his claims on the estate of the defendant's late hasl He was called by the plaintiff, it evidently being ex- yocted to prove by hint that’ the defendant had but ttle money after making the settlement spoken of, but the witness disappointed the aide that called him y Nira. Tlant hud between $8,000 and $9,009 after paying the Boston boy's claim. ‘Lhe defendant's side then called Mr. Fred B. Churchill, a young lawyer in Mr, 8. G. Courtney's office, who testified to an interview with Jackson in in which he wanted witness to see Mra. Hunt (then Mrs, Jackson) and inducé her to go his bail in a auit pending against him, and ‘in which interview he acknowle that he hed caused his aunt much trouble, but said that he thought she would make exertions for him, owing to the intimate relasons thet had existed between him and her late husband. Judge Duly, after # long argument between the counsel, finally consented to postpone the final hear- ing until Tuesday next, at which tine, however, he directed that counsel be propared to close the vase.

Its Effectiveness Increased aby American Inventors, IRON-CLADS IN DANGER, An Infernal Machine Whose Every Mover ment Can Be Easily Controlled. An interesting and important expertment was'made- yesterday at Ramapo, N. J., with a new torpedo man- ufsctured by the United States Torpedo Company, which promises to exert an important influence in future naval warfare, ‘The system on which the new weapon is constructed has already been applied in the well known Lay torpedo with some success, but the improvements effected are so important as to give the new weapon a claim to distinct recognition. The gronnd system of both inventions is the power of controlling and directing the movements of the torpedo by means of electricity after it has been launched to the attack, and the experiments made yesterday demonstrate that this contol has, been achieved within certain well defined restrictions. It would be premature to say that the uew torpedo has demonstrated its power to be controlled under all the varying conditions of nawal warfare, but the ex- hibition at Ramapo left no room to doubt-that in smooth water and within thedistance-of two-thirds of a mile the control of this terrible weapon is suf: ficiently perfect to render it a mostformidable.en- gine of war, well adapted to the purpose of harbor defence. Whether it wouid give equally satisfactory results in rough water is a question that can only be decided by demonstration. THE TORPEDO, ‘This nameless torpedo resembles somewhaf in form the body of a shark. It is a cireular iron tube twenty-one feet in length and fifteen inches in di- ameter at the thickest part, This tube is divided into a nuinber 0! air 4nd water tight compartmenta, The first, or snoot, contains an explosive chatge of 100 pounds of dynamite or nitro-glycerine, which is exploded on impact with the object of attuck; the second holds the carbonic acid gas in a liquified form which furpishes the motive power; the third a cable coil of copper wire, through which the move- ments of the torpedo are controlled from batteries placed on shore or on board ship; the fourth con- tains the engine which works the screw, anda fifth is devoted to the steering apparatus and is connected with the cable coil in the third compartment. The detailed manner in which the machinery acts is, of course, known only to the inventors; but it is na secret that there are two distinct and separate motive forces brought into action. THE MOTIVE POWER. ‘The principal motive or driving power is derived from tho compressed carbonic acid gas contained in liquid form in the second compartment. This mo- tive power, it is claimed, can be stored in the com- partment for forty years without losing any of its virtues, and it is further claimed that a suflicient quantity of this gas can be stored in each torpedo to drive it four or five miles at a speed of twelve miles an hour. ‘his, however, remains to be proved by demonstration, as the rate of speed atiained during the experiments yesterday did not reach anything like that figure fora much shorter distance. It is, however, only fair to say that the inventors informed those assembled to witness the experiments that there was no intention of testing the speed of the torpedo, but that the experiment would be strictly confined to demonstrating the possibility of controlling its course and directing its attack in any direction at the will of the operator on land, IMPORTANCE OF THE INVENTION, ‘Thisequestion is one of ‘the most important in the whoie theory of torpedo warfare, because the weak point of these terrible engines of naval combat has hitherto been their unreliability, due to the im- eir ‘aiming ering fr urning then into ac uoneee of danger to one employing them. This is the chief drawback to the ¢ Whitehead torpedo, which the British, Italian and Russian governments have sought to to per- fection, but which has so far fuiled to the results confidently icted for it. ‘Che two most notable instances in which the has been used in actual hostilities were di fight be- ~ and the tween the British man-ot-war, the Chilian ironclad Huascar, on the of South America, when the British discharged a Whitehead torpedo without effect, and when the Russians, un successfully used the samo class of torpedo against a Turkwh war ship lying at anchor in port. INTEREST IX THE EXPERIMENT, 3 The greatest interest has therufory been aroused by the reported perfection of a apie, which promises con:plete control of the torpedo, and there vere as- sembled yesterday representatives of the British, Spanish and United States governments at to Witness the experiments with the new weapon. Among those present were Vice Admiral Gove Jones, British naval attaché; Captain Montojo, of the Spanish sorvico; Lieutenant ©. H.
