TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES, Of the past week condensed. WASHINGTON :JEW3 GENERAL NEWS. Leading cle iriim-hniises of the Unite States report that tofcil gross hank exchang--es for the week ending December 19 were $1,096;914.659, an increase of 36. 1 percent, compared with the corresponding week a year ago. The N. Y. Tribune's cablegram says: While Gladstone denies the accuracy of the published statements, still it is not denied that he has resolved on conceding the prin cipal of home rule. The conviction is uni versal among the English of all parties that Gladstone means to crown his career by carrying through Parliament an Irish scheme satisfactory to Parnell. The liberal press in Russia is urging an alliance with England as the sole means of settling the E ustern question and punishing the perfidy of Germany and Austria. The City Bank of Houston, Texas has failed for $500,000. It was regarded as one of he souudest and best in the state. Many poor people were among the deposi tors. The Marquis of Hartinston publishes a card, saying: ""No proposals in regard to the demand of Iris.li members for legislative independence has been communicated to me. I see no reason to depart in any de- -owe from the declarations I made and the opinions I expressed in my speeches in the li.te election, in Lancashire and elsewhere, hi the policy announced by Mr. Parnell as loader of the Irish parliamentary parly.' The Gamden Consolidated Oil Company of Parkersbnrg, VV. V.-., has suffered a loss wf -ver $50,000 by three forged drafts. It ja.not known who the perpetrators of the awaakan The drafts Wei e ill the hands of a Santa Barbara, CL, bauk. .A typhoon in the Philippine Islands, November 7th, destroyed over 4,400 houses, in. lulling 13 church -s and ten o invents. Eighteen lives were lost an 1 500 head of cattle destroyed. This repott only com prises destruction in nineteen of the thirty- four districts of the islands. 1 he rein nn ing fifteen have not been heard from. The closing of the Singer Sewing Maehin Co. in New York causes great surprise, a it was regarded as one t the strongest in the couutry. Th French Government has submitted a draft of a commercial treaty between France and China to Li Aung I hang, the Chinese Prime Minmter. On account of the increased denriud f iron, the Tenuessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company advanced the price 50 cents, thus making it 16.50 cents per ton. Uithi he past ten days iron has advanced S'-, and will iirohably o sti: higher. The furnace are running on full time and large urdi r are expected. The st.:k of the Tennessie Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, which: few weeks ago was quoted at 15 cewts. now firm aud scarce at 40 cents. The N. Y. Times' cable dispatch declares that the situation with which the week end MBioailv eharaetenstlc Of both JfiQtflaiM and Gladstone. In no other couutry conl a project which five years ago have lieeu re garded as the universal extremity of treas on be so suddenly sprung on the public, and so seriously discussed as the matter of Irish home rule. Ofcouise Hawarden aud Windsor are at war. A story reaches me to-night on absolute authority, that Glad atone did write to the queen, stating his views about home rule. She was enrage ; sent for Lord Salisbury, and gave him Glad stone's letter. He only said it was an in discrete thing for Gladstone to do, and that he never could keep his pen oft from paper. A dispatch from the Creek Indian nation says: "The four delegates who were re cently appointed to represent that nation in Washington this winter, and who started for the capital last week, are uuder unoffic ial instructions to urge the adoption by congress of a territorial government for In dian territory. It is stated that a majority of the people in the territory are in favor i such action." The estimates of the superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey for the next fiscal year amount to $568,000. Included n the estimates is the sum of S'50,000 for the re-survey of San Francisco bay and ex amination of the San Francisco bar and en trance tosthe harbor, and of the mouths of tho Sanramento and San Juau rivers, a work which, in the opinion of the superintendent has been rendered Randall has prepared a bill b.r introduc tion in the house, providing that the pre-i lenti il electors shall hold o:iice four years, and elect within one month a successor to the president and vice president, w henever vacancies exist. An election of president would be necessary only in case a vacancy should occur simultaneously with the vacan cy in the office of the vice, president. The secretary of state and other cabinet officers, have the right of succession during the interegnam. Since tin? present session of congress began 28 bilfa and joint resolutions have been in troduced in the senate, and seven, one oi which originated in the house, have been iassed by that body. One thousand, two hundred and forty-seven executive messages. xmtaining about 1500 nominations, have ic Mi sent rv tne presnient i" mc acianxs, and have been refer re I to the proper com mittees, but no nominations have been con firmed. Two treat ies, one relating to xne boundary line between this country and Mexico, and the other providing for settle ment of claims ot certain American citizens ainst Venezuela, hae been sent to the senate for ratification. Twenty-tour bills ind joint resolutions have been introduced n the house of representatives, and four, two of which originated in the senate, have een passeit. A tremendous eff irt has been brought to bear upon the president to remove Judge Powers, of Utah. He is a citizen of Detroit ind his official life in Utah has brotght on him the censure of many people. the en tire Michigan delegation are working against him and have made grave charges against his character.

Editor Yaq:-ina Mail: There is a man at present stopping in this town who tells a story that sounds as strange as one of Baron Munchausen's tales, but the man is certain ly not '-razy, and appe irs to be a man of intelligence and large experience. Now, what he tells may be known to the scientific world, or it may be yet a Government secret, but I certainly think the facts as stated by him are new to the general pub- aud so far as my observation goes tne pers have bad but little to say on the subject. He states that he came out from England to Victoria on one of the torpedo boats. Two w ere sent out and are now at Victoria. Their names are the Shore and Serf. He says that they carried a cre.v of eighteen men; that they made most of the passage under water at a depth of about six fathoms; that they made twenty-six miles an hour, aud that only one bucket of fuel was used in the whole passage; that they had no use for fire-men or engineers, but that the motive power used was electricity and hy draulic, and one man managed the entire business. He states that none of the crew were allowed to even look at the machinery by which the boat was propelled. They are both of ahout 300 tons each and 305 feet length. They could sink below the surface at will, and arise to the surface when the weather is fine, and could in five minutes take in air enough to allow them to remain under water three or four hours. They cruised in the Bay of Biscay, aud were ex perimented with and tested. They then crossed the P tlantic and down the Straits of Ma ellan. Two convoys a companied them the Thunderer and Galatea, but the tor pedo boats had to constantly wait for them. In bad weather they would remain under water and move along among the fish as quietly a:s on a 'a';e, and the crew were as comfortable though sitting in a house. Tn oivinir this storv I cannot vouch for one word of it. I only give it as the man states, and h is here tn speak for himself. But if it is true it sems to one it is indue 1 wonderful and he 1'otg dre -m of displacing steam is at last realized. We have heard for many years of the Keely Motar until it has become a jest: rkon it u-sia ,1 dme 1 that a locomotive could be run cross the continent from New York to San Francisco on a thimble fn'l of water. Such stories are published, read and laughed at. But how much less strange is it that a vessel of 300 tons can be sent from England to the Pacific Joast on a bucket of fuel, ami lriven along at the rate of twenty six miles per hour-not over the water, but under and through it. Many of your readers have doubtless read Jules Verne's story of "Twen ty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. " If these statements be true, Jules Verne', vision has become ;i reality. But my object in sending you this communication is not merely to give publication to a strange story, but to call forth, if possible some information on the subject. We all know that experiments are constantly being made with electricity as a motive power, and we know that many wonderful results are 1 iined for it But. i it known that it has yet taken the place of steata in our couutry auv iirac.tic d oumose? And we have bad many stories in our papers about torpe do boats and the wonderful things perform u.l i- them but. have we anvthing in com parison to this achievement, if true? It these boats can be driven under the water ,t tl.B r;itfi of sneed claimed, they could . , o live down at V ictoria and pop up in o Francisco harbor the next day. and wdiat war vessel couia coiiLeim wnu men,. ships would be but playthings, and harbor fortifications they could laugh at. To sum up the whole matter, has Lnglan stolen a march on the rest of the world and ;iveu the first great pr .ctical demonstration if the startling ind wonderful revolution in motive power anrt ocean navigation, ."" " ... f.. s..f. steam eni'ines sold tor out iron and melted up, and engineers and fire men passed out of use? If this story ii true, anil all the results are generally know n the public, I would be compelled to cm -. . . . i . d:.. it.. ress that 1 have been laitmg a iup Winkle sleep. However, please publish this and let us see how much light your contemporaries can throw on the matter, m i oblige yours respectfully, J. J. WiSAST. steel, and U cigar-shaped, with a glass con ning tower in the center, from which the commander can keep a lookout. There are three engines, one to work the screw in the stern, which propels the vessel, aud two to work the propellors on either side, which, when set in motion, compel- the boat to s:nk. aiid maintain her at a eertaiii depth below the surface. The motive power is steam, and her speed, submerged, is only three miles an hour. The enormous utility of such a vessel as this, or the one described by Gapt. Winant, in naval warfare is at once apparent. Moving without the Uightest apparent sign of its existence, she can launch torpedoes against hostile vessels, enter a harlmr unpreceived and render use less the most complicated system of sub marine mines. It will be seer that there is a remarkab:e difference in the invention of Mr. Nonlenfelt and the boat described by Capt. Winant, and said to lie in Victoria, ii, that the former is run by steam power and the latter rnn by electricity; the former making three miles per hour and the latter twenty six miles per hour. It is as Capt. Winant says. "Has England slolen a m irch on the rest of the world in this invention?" or is it a grand hoax? SHERIFF'S SALE OF REAL PROPERTY Speaking of "Girl Life in India," the Christian Ah-o-ate says: The little girls are married as young as three years of age, and should the boy to whom such a child is married die the next day she is called a widow, ami is from henceforth doomed to perpetual widowhood she can never marry again. As a widow she must never wear any jewelry, never dress her hai-, never sleep on a bed, nothing but a piece of mat ting spread on the hard brick floor, and sometimes in fact, not even that between her and thecohl bricks; and, no matter how cold the night might be, she must have no other covering than the thin garmemt she has worn during the day. She must eat but one meal a day, and that of the coarsest kind of food; and once in two w eeks she must fast twenty-four hours. Then not a bit of food, nor a drop; of water or medicine must pass her lips, not even if she were dying. She must never sit down nor speak in the pn senc.e of her mother-in-law, uoless they cunmiu l her to do. Her food must be cooked and eaten apart from the other woman's. She is a disgraced, a degraded woman. She may never even look on :it any marriage ceremonies or festi vals. It would be an evil omen for her to do so. She may have been -. high caste Brahminic woman; but on her becoming a widow, any, even the lowest servant, may order her to do hat they do not like to do. No woman in the house must ever speak one word of love or pity to her, for it is supposed that if a woman shows the slightest com miseration to a widow she will immediately become one herself. It is estimated that there are 80,000 wid ows in India under six v "rs of age.
