A NIGHT UNDER WATER. Fifteen llonra nt the lloHiinl of New lurk liny I nhnrim-d. I XKW YORK, Nov. 2.'i.-In the pres ence of a big crowd which despite the storm assembled to witness the emerg ing of the submarine bout Fulton that , craft rose from the bottom of the bay j yesterday morning at 10:.'!0 o'clock , with all well and greatly surprised to ; find there was a storm raging. The test of the Fulton's staying pow : e'rs was highly satisfactory net only to i the otllcers of the company that built her and the naval ollicers present, but to those who went to the bottom In the boat. They report there was not the slightest discomfort to them during their more than llfteen hours of sub mersion beneath the surface. Captain Cable of the Holland compa ny, who was in command, said that the boat could have remained down for three months If there was food enough on board. Although there was but sis feet of water over the top of the turret, those on board felt nothing of the storm. Through the night there was a light rolling motion to the craft, but this was ascribed to the regular mo tion of the water and not to the dis turbance which was rolling the waves high on the shore. THE ROLLER BOAT. Inventor (ietn Her Acroii the St. I.nwrenee, hut Slick In the Mad. OGHEN.SBURG, X. Y., Nov. 20. Knapp's roller boat has demonstrated its ability to roll. In a blinding snow storm, with a stiff north wind, it rolled from Prescott across the St. Lawrence river to Ogdensburg, but missed the channel to the upper harbor and rolled Into the soft mud on a bar abreast the city and settled hard, surrounded by snow and ice. A steamer following the roller was unable to get near her owing shallow water. Efforts to tow the boat by loug hawsers into deep water were unsuccessful, and she may not be released until spring. The Inventor and stockholder who were on board were taken off in small boats. The Inventor claims success. The boat Is 110 feet loug and 22 feet in diameter. An engine is-suspended in a car in the center. The motive pow er is applied in the form of a climbing engine. Mr. Knapp says he will now build an ocean roller boat 800 feet long and 200 feet In diameter, with a enpati ty of 4,000,000 bushels of wheat and a speed of twelve knots nn hour.

MARINESJN GUARD. Americans From Battleship Iowa Land at Colon. ISTHMUS TRANSIT IS REOPENED. Fierce Fltrlillna nn the Hnllrond Line lli'tneen I'minnm nnd Co Ion llomltnriltiient of l.nt ter Ton n f'ORt pnned. COLON, Nov. 2(5. An nrmcd guard of marines from the I'nlted States battleship Iowa has re-established the transit across the Isthmus, and de tails from the Iowa's marines are now protecting each passenger train. There has been fierce lighting at Em pire Station, on the railroad line be tween Panama and Colon, between the insurgents and the troops of the Co lombian government, with very heavy losses on both sides. Transit trnlllc had been suspended for several hours, when the I'nlted States cruiser Iowa landed 200 men. At a conference Sunday night the commander of the General Pluzon agreed to postpone landing his troops until Friday. The vessel left In the morning, It Is supposed for Porto Bello. Sunday morning nt 10 o'clock the schooner Clapet and a railroad barge returned to Panama, bringing u."0 men from Chorrera, being (he remainder of General Albnn's expedition. Great crowds gathered at the wharf to witness the landing of the soldiers. They were received with bands of mu sic, but the music sounded mournful and more like a funeral inarch than the Joyful strains of welcome to a vic torious army. General Alban looked his usual nnd calm self and acted more like a man on whose hands time hangs heavily for want of something to do thau one coping with grave responsi bilities under trying circumstances. At half past 3 in the afternoon at the bead of 700 men General Alban left I'anama by train for Empire Station, where the Liberals were reported to be In fairly strong numbers. His purpose was to surprise and rout them. The train bearing these troops wns held up Just before it arrived at the Culebra sta tion owing to the Liberals opening tire on Alban's advance guard. Alban dis embarked his men from the train, which returned to Panama. The fight ing at Culebra lasted from 4:40 until I) p. m. The Revs. Loveridge nnd Jacobs, Baptist and Wesleyau ministers re spectively, narrowly escaped being shot. Their house lu Culebra was rid dled with bullets. The government troops continued to advance, nnd the fighting was stub born all nlong the nllroad line and continued until Empire Station, a mile and a half distant, was reached. The Liberals continued slowly to retreat, Alban's men following them, until the Intter eventually reached Matachln sta tion. Here he met and conferred with Captain Perry of the Iowa, who was returning from Colon on an armored train. Between the stations of Culebra and Empire over 150 killed and wounded men could be seen along the track. The sight was grewsome. There is no prop er Red Cross organization, and the wounded lack care. The Liberals at Colon declare the majority of the men killed on the line to be Conservative troops and that the rebels are still in force along the railroad. Kehrnaka'a OHlelal Vote. LINCOLN.

Jnlen Verne, Fninon French Ro. mancrr, lleported to lime lie come Completely llllnd. Jules Verne, who is reported to nnvp heroine to'nlly blind at his home in Amiens, France, has been a sufferer with deficit tit ryes for a long time. The great romancer of science is now in his seventy-third yrnr, but he hns never ceased his literary work, even after his sight began to fail, lie pub Ubhed a novel only three years ago, JULES VERNE. (Famous French Novelet Has Completely Lost His Sight.) and, although this did not bear the vig orous itainp of his early work, it was by no means weak. M. Verne recently distinguished himself by declining a seat in the French academy for the sec ond time. He began his lite rury career as a dramatist and for 13 years lnliored, successfully in the field as a writer of comedies. It was not until 1HG3 that be published the first of the stories upon which his fame wns to rest. This was "Five Weeks in n Balloon." Its imme diate nnd rebounding success .induced M. lie Verne toeontinue to exploit him eelf in this direction and the result was. that widely read series of romances which have delighted the world, young and old, for 30 years or more. M. Verne's chief amusement since his youth has been yachting. He owns a fine steam yacht unci his happiest days have been those spent on Its decks. o Xevr Women There. It is extremely difficult for Chinese of the higher classes to find hushnuds for their daughters whose feet have attnined the natural size. It is thought that women who desire un mnimed feet are actuated by no hon orable motive, the crippling making it difficult for them to go about and keeping them more closely at home than would be the case if they had full use of the stunted members. Love between husband and wife as it exists omong Christian people Is unknown in China, and it is a subject that it is not considered decorous to discuss. Suicide is common among women of all classes,, and aside from grief after bereavement, unhuppiness in marriage is the most common cause of such tragedies. Hundreds of wives, it is estimated, end their lives every year in Peking alone. , Healthy Town lu Hnitlaiiit. , At Norton Fitswarren, a Somerset, England, village, with a population of 600, no death has been recorded for over a year. mm?
