The govern meat has decided to accept the offer of a con tingent from New South Wales to cooperate in the Soudan expedition. A dispatch from A&sab Bay states that the Somali natives have revolted against the Egyptian government in Harar, which is the most important territory in I he Soma h regi< n and was annexed by Egypt during the reign of Ismail Pacha. The Italian traders and colonists in Harar have made a claim upon the Italian government for protection Messrs. Leonard H.

Bismarck’s Fiery Speech. Berlin, Feb. 1. —Bismarck’s speech in the reichstag. during the debate on the bill pro viding for a , increase of duty on cereals, was one most fiery fliat the chancellor has in dulged in for a long time. He roundly de- : nounced the members who opposed the meas ure, and asserted that their utterances in opposition to the bill were either false, dis torted or exagerated. “While these men, ’ said the chancellor, “play upon minds of workmen and small fanners with false doc trines. disseminating their treasonable views, and putting a wrong construction on everv measure introduced for the general welfare of the people, it te impossible to have unity or any semi iance of accord amongst th ore classes.’* Bismarck here, pointing at his left, launched forth bitter invectives at the mem bers of chat section of the reichstag, and worked himself into such an excited state and spoke with such feeling that it was apparent that a “man of iron •was thoroughly aroused. Raisi ig his voice to the highest pitch, he shouted with bis arm still stretched in the direction of -the left: “I see nothing but mischief in the tatics of the members of the left, which can bode no good either for their constituents or •country.” This remark caused a sensation. Instantly several memtiers of the wing thus accosted were on their feet denouncing his re marks as monstrous an< i unwarranted, aid ing, “If we voted for the measure you would then charge us with having foretold people they would not suffer by this blood tax you week to impose.” A deafening tumult fol lowed these remarks, and members jumped U}>un the benches and b vied like mad men, and for a while a pandemonium prevailed. Order was finally restored, but not until some members were threatened with expulsion did matters quiet down so a; to admit of the transaction of further businesa Money in Vienna Vienna.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, EiIIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 20. 1885. ERICSSON'S DESTROYER. THE NAVY TO BE PROVIDED WITH LARGE MARINE GUNS. Self-Pr«Mervation the Firwt I.axv of Nature — A Death-Dealing Machine for War— Doings In the House and Sen ate —C abinet Talk. Washington, Feb. IS —The senate naval committee has advisetl the purchase of (’apt. John Ericsson s destroyer for SI2O,(XX) with the privilege of buying, also the patents relating to this vessel for $100,(XX) more. Whatever conclusion may be reached as to providing M’ean cruisers for attacking, commerce or sea board defense u ill require war ships of n dif ferent kind, and of the two sorts of naval con struction the latter is the more urgent The destroyer may or may not be the type of ves sel needed for lighting huge hostile iron clads, i but at it’s designers reputation, his long connection with the navy and his inestimable services to the ••oiintry iu producing the mon itor and her suct'essiirs, demand that his new system of s.-aport protection shall not Lie treated with neglect. Iu cruiser construction millions are appro priated on paper plans and s|ieciflcations. Ericsson n it* only pays f -r his experiments biit constructs a complete vessel at private costs and offers her to the government for in flection and official tria is, to show whether she it worth the price. The Ericsson system o! harbor defense is that of carry mg sub-marine art tllei'y in small, •beaply constmuted vessels. The gun fired under water is the central factor; the vessel is only the gun carriage. The destroyer is 130 long, 17 .j feet wide, aud 11 feet deep. Her liow is protected by heavy inclined ar n o plates, ) 1 iced transversely l and backed by thick timbui s. Within the iron hull an intermediate arched iron dock extends from item to stern; under this is the powerful en gine, and there also are the crew during ae iion. I'inler the iron ?leck and the inclined irmor of the bow is a Id-inch gun, 30 feet bug; it carries a projectile 25 foot long, weighing 1,450 ponuds, including an explosive diarge of 800 pounds of gun cotton. Tins gun s near the bottom of the vessel, and its muz de pasa»‘s through an ojuming in the stem. A valve opened and shut by steam power covers his muzzle, and when it is raised the inrush ng water is checked by an inner valve, whir! fe strong enough to h >ld it, but is itself ensilp •arried away by the iremendous projectile a j t leaves the t>ore. An inner sea valve issa> •iflt <n! for wu>h shot. Undoubtedly the submarine gun is limited n range. It is discharged at a distance of 500 feet* from the enemy's ship, and when I he projectile strikes the ship its charge of gun tot ton is exploded by a p*rcussion firing pin. \ spiral spring prevents this explosion from x-curring on the initial and comparatively *rivial percussion against the inner valve of hr gun. The thfxiry of the vessel is that it in i.)6 safe! brought, ou account of its thick irmor, with -i a range of 300 feet, and that a :i large of ikx) pounds of guncotton there de ivered against the vulnerable jiarta of an rouclad under water will shatter the hull. Thus far the opinion of naval officers has liffcred in regard to the dwtroyer. Great jopc-s of it ha' e been entertained by some, a bile others have inteiqiosed objections. From .he conflicting official opinions and reports of rials the senate naval committee has called {uiiicient test imony to recommend the pur chase of the destroyer. Still Hie question is aot necessarily that of buying this parti<-ular ' vessel, inasmuch as Capt. Ericson has offered | for |LCO,O(X) to buil‘l a steel vessel like the iron destroyer, a trifle larger in ea-h dimon ' non, with sub-marine gun and projectiles | complete, and to guarantee the stipulated jht- I mrmanceof both vessel anil gun by sureties • « ho would be fully responsible in case of fad | ire. ; . k.

It provides for the actual building of the navy, not merely a selection of plans. It looks first to the collection of all possible in formation on the subject of naval construc tion; second, to selection of plans; lastly, to j building the navy according to those plans i without further action by congress.

New York. Fob. 18.—Henvx rain and high wind hn aused an unusually high tide in the h-i-bur. Considerable damage was done by ihxxiing along the river front. On Long Island the tracks of the Itoug Island and Montauk railroad were in many places submerged and trains were delayed. At Far Rockaway the fid-' came nearly up to the big hotel and several small buildings were swept away. At places on the north shore dams were broken, causing heavy damages to prop erty. The storm was severely felt iu West chester county. | The Hudson river was higher than it has been for years. Poughkeepsie, New York and other places report damaging floods. The low lands on the Trw Je)*sey river front, ex ten* ling back for miles, were comp’etely sub merged, and travel was rendered very diffi cult. At Coney Island nearly all the small jiavil ions and other buildings adjhcent to the large hotels were carried out by the tride. Many people went down from the city by rail to see the effect of the storm upo * the ocean. The big music stand in front of the Brighton Beach hotel whs saved by rhe hotel manager anchoring it with big cab.es. The outline of the beach will be pemiai ently changed in many places. The Raritan river rose and caused a fnshet, and considerable damage in New Brunswick end Trenton. At Caj>e May there was a fearful storm which caused much loss of property along the i beach.

An Important Decision Rendered in the Ohio Supreme Court. Cincinnati, Feb. 18.—The 60,(XX) building association members of Hamilton county have for some months past been interested in the suit of E. C. Geibel aud others against I Victoria Building Association No. 2, winch has Imm?d pending in the superior court. The terminal ion of the case was a matter of doL 1 lais and cents to them, for it would determine whether borrowing members us the associa tion should hereafter receive equal dividends with the non-borrowing members, as has I men their wont. The question came up on demurer in the gen eral term of the superior com t, and the ix>r rowers’ claim that they were entitled to full dividends was declared erroneous by the full bench. The court was densely packed with those ; interested while Judge Peck read the rulmg. Iu substance the decision was that borrowing . members are entitled to a dividuud upon tines paid by them until the dues are applied as a credit upon their loan and a rebate of interest allowed. As souu as tuis is done the dues paid are to be taken lro*m the earmug cujiao- I ity of the association, and tue borrower is no ! longer entiued to a dividend upon the dues so ' credited. Formerly lK>rrowers paid the full amount of interest until their shares were pad in lull, aud application of the dues was then made to the loan aud the security canceled. L uder this system borrowers were entitled to share fully iu the dividends. But the Moore law requiring an annual application of dues to the reduction of toe loan and a rebate of mtei est, it follows that borrowers are entitled only to dividends upon money pmd by them until the appiKaiiuu to the loan as a credit is made.
