" Notwithstanding lively Democratic op

port of the amended measure, sacrificing
their individual preferences for the party

either the oricinal package or bankruptcy
bills.
rrxoM a BTirr coKEEsroxDBsr.3
Washington, July 8. The disposition
of the Democrats to accept kindly the con
ference committee's silver bill last night
melted away -with the torrid weather of this
morning, and before the Senate convened
they had decided to fight the measure. It
would not do for the public to get an im
pression that the Eepublicans had been at
all liberal toward silver, and so the bill was
pitched into fieroely as one which deprived
ilver of all semblance of money, and made
it a mere commodity like corn and oats.
They had just enough grounds to go on with
the provision leaving the coinage of silver
discretionary with the Secretary of the
Treasury after the 1st of July 189L
CAUSE OF THE KICK.
This apparently had escaped the knowl
edge of many of the Democrats last even
ing, and to-day when they discovered it
they made the most of it. The only com
fort they have had from the Eepublicans
was from Mr. Teller, who is somewhat of a
chronic kicker, and they made the most of
his support and complaint by caressing him
and coaxing him to speak harshly and more
harshly of the bill. .They stopped, how
ever, when Mr.Teller admitted that the pur
chase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month
would probably result in the issue of 70,
000,000 of legal tenders the first year.
Except among the Democrats, who are too
good at the trade of politics to praise or in
dorse anything done by Eepublicans, the
conference committee bill is quite acceptable
to the silver men. Xiike Senators Jones and
Stewart tbey admit it is not exactly what
they want, but also confess it is an immense
step forward in the way of placing silver
alongside of gold.
NOT AN IMPORTANT POINT.
Strange to say they do not attach great
importance to the remarkable discretion
vested in the Secretary of the Treasury after
one year. Tbey appear to think that public
sentiment will take care of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and that no official in that po
sition would dare at the behest of Wall
street to suspend silver coinage wholly, un
less the inflation caused by the issue of
silver bullion legal tenders sbonld be so
great as to render snch a course advisable.
In the Senate to-day Sir. Sherman, in de
fending the measure, stated that the ques
tion had arisen in the conference committee
whether the two houses could be brought to
an agreement on the bills passed by tbem
respectively. In the first section of the con
ference bill the language of the first section
of the House bill had been retained some
what, but the amount of silver to be pur
chased had been increased. Much tp his
regret it bad been fixed a larger amount
than the entire American product of silver.
THE EIGHT OF CONTRACT.
The leeal tender clause in the House bill
and the Senate bill had been somewhat alike
also, and the question had come up in con
ference whether it would be right to deprive
cititcns of the United States of tne right to
contract for payments in gold or anything
else. It had therefore been agreed that the
Treasury notes to be issued for silver, like
the silver dollar on which they were based,
should be legal tender for all debts, public
ana private, unless where otherwise tin-
ulatcd in the contract.
Mr. Voorhees said that in tct practice of
his profession he always dreaded a packed
jury. The trouble about the nonference
bill was, not whether the Secietary of the
Treasury wonld obey the In, but that
every single section of the bill gave a dis
cretion to the Secretary of the Treasury,
who was "packed" againt silver. That was
his dread about the bill aDd one of the very
strong reasons why he should not vote for it.
Every single section of the bill conferred,
and was intended to confer, a discretion on
tbe Secretary of the Treasury, by which he
conlil destroy, dishonor and degrade silver
as znaney.
BOTH PARTIES TO BLAKE.
He did not reflect upon the present Secre
tary of the Treasury. Far from it The
Treasury Department had been packed
against silver ever since he (Mr. Voorhees)
had been a member of the Senate, not
merely under the Republican party, but un
der his own party, until he was weary of it.
He was amazed at the hardihood of Sena
tors faking back all that tbey had said and
done and .voted within the last three weeks.
A. majority of 17 in the Senate had voted
for tht free coinage of silver, and that ma
jority had been treated as chaff by the Con
Jcrence Committee.
-He would not say tbe conference bill was
a cheat or a fraud, but under its malign in
fluence silver, instead of being more potent
fii; a factor in the prosperity of the people of
the United States would wither, shrink back
and tacc place as a miserable commodity,,
instead of being clothed with the dignity of
Money.
COMPELLED TO SUPPORT IT.
Mr. Teller said that, much as be disliked
xhe adoption of a half way measure, a meas
ure that thwarted the will of the people for
lree and unlimited coinage of silver, be was
compelled to support the conference bill as
the only measure which could bring relief
to the people of the United SUtes
tot the nest few months. Congress
would assemble in December next and if
the bill did Dot work well it could be re
formed next session.
He was restrained by the courtesy due to
another body (The House of Representa
tives) from expressing his opinion with re
gard to its course. He would say, how
ever, that nothing done in that body in the
subject of the silver bill redounded to the
honor of the American name. The body
which had been considered the represen
tative body of the American people had ab
solutely flouted in the face of American
people the demand made upon it by Wall
street, disregarding public sentiment.
REED IS RESPONSIBLE.
He believed that it was impossible to se
cure the free coinage of silver at the present
session, not that he did not believe that there
was a majority in its favor in the House of
Representatives, but because under a sys
tem which he could not speak of patiently,
the voice of that majority was stifled ana
could not be heard.
And it never would be heard until the
people of the United States should send to
that body and to the Senate, men who were
willing to represent them in spite of the ex
terior influences brought to bear upon them;
men who were able to withstand ridicule;
men who were able to withstand the influ
ence which the money power of the country
knew so we1 how to bring to bear; men who
were able to withstand the influences of the
administration and were willing to forego
the favors of the Executive, for the purpose
of doing that which they considered to be
right.
VEET HARD TO PLEASE.
The conference report, or compromise, was
not satisfactory to him. He had not ex
pected that it would be. Nothing would be
satisfactory to him, save free coinage of
silver. That was the only logical way to
dispose of the question. It was the only
way that it wonld be even settled. The con
ference bill was at the best a temporary
expedient, as tbe Bland bill bad been, and
the next Congress would be vexed with the
question as much as the present Congress
was.
Mr. Stewart said that if the conference
bill was executed in good faith, (as the
Senate was bound to assume it would be), it
would give great relief.
As to tbe fate of the Conference Commit
tee's bill there seems to be but one opinion,
and that is that it will pass by the Repub
lican majority in both branches, unless it
proves too liberal for some of the extreme
single standard Republicans of the House.
It is not expected that it will meet with
much opposition from any other silver Sen
ators except Teller, and that Sherman's sup
port will insure the favor of the Wall street
men in that body. Lightner.

Washington, July 8. The bill to regu
late the traffic In "original packages" re
ceived a decided set-back to-day when the
House, by a vote of 97 to 80, refused to even
consider the measure. Of course it is pos
sible that some of the members who voted
against taking up the matter did so be
cause of other bill? that tbey wished action
upon, but the fact remains that if the sub
ject is much longer delayed it will not be

ihen tbe Senate bill to abopt regulations
to prevent collisions at sea was taken up to
day in the Honse, Mr. Cannon, of Illinois,
requested that it be laid aside, as he had a
report to make from the Committee on Rules
relative to the original package bill. Mr.
Cummins, of New York, objected, saying
that saving of life at sea was more important
than the passing of a bill for the benefit of
prohibition cranks. Attcr a little speech
making on tbe steamship bill tbe previous
question was ordered, and the bill passed.
Yeas, 125; nays, 44.
Mr. Cannon, from the Committee on
Rules, then reported a resolution providing
that immediately a-ter the adoption of the
resolution it shall be in order for the Com
mittee on the Judiciary to call up for con
sideration the "original package" bill and
afterward the bankruptcy bill, this order to
continue irom day to day for four days suc
cessively, beginning with to-day. The

I6PICIAL TILZOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.I
Philadelphia, July 8. Chairman An
drews, of the Republican State Committee,
sat in his room at the Continental Hotel to
night striving, like thousands of others, to
keep cool. He was both hatless and coat
less and wore the air of a man willing to
forget everything about politics until cooler
weather sets in. When spoken to regarding
the story which eminated at Pittsburg to
the effect that Senator Quay was scheming
to place an independent ticket in tbe field
in order to assist in the defeat of Pattison,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, the
State Chairman straightened himself up
and replied: "There is not one word of
truth in the story."
Senator Delamater, the Republican candi
date for Governor, was among the State
Chairman's callers this afternoon, and the
two remained in close conversation for some
time. Among the other callers were Col
lector of Internal Revenue David Martin,
ex-Representative William Vogdes, Repre
sentatives Reardon, Keyser and Connell;
Senator Harlan, of Chester county; Chair
man Suyder, of Chester county; ex-District
Attorney Wanger, of Norristown; Senator
George Handy Smith, Collector Cooper, J.
Levering Jones and C. Stuart Patterson.
The Anti-Cobden Club met to-night for
the purpose of anting upon a series of reso
lutions indorsini; the plaform adopted by
the Republican State Convention and pledg
ing tbe support of tbe organization for the
State ticket. Collector Martin in present
ing the resolutions said: "Whatever differ
ences of opinion may have existed among
Republicans regarding the selection of can
didates for our State ticket prior to the nom
inating convention should now be, as I am
confident they will be, set aside. The nom
inees are all first-class men, and it is our
duty to loyally support them."

Illrsat Decision Reserved.
Aberdeen, S. D., July 8. The injunc
tion brought against the keepers of the
original package houses were up for argu
ment before Judge Campbell of the Circuit
Court yesterday. The hearing occurred
upon a motion made by the defendants,
H. H. Goodwin, George Hanks and
Daniel Shillin, to dissolve the in
junction and release the liquors
seized on by the Sheriff. The action
was brought for the purpose of enjoining
the business under the nuisance clause of
the State prohibition law, and by virtue of
the process the places are now closed and
liquors valued at several thousand dollars
are .now held by the Sheriff pending the de
cision. The District Attorney in his argument
raised the point that Congress had already
passed upon the right of the State , to pro
hibit tlwimpwtatibir'or liquors,
sJyadmit-
prohibitory
ting South Dakota with a p;
clause in ner constitution. in tins re
spect," he urged, "South Dakota is in a
different position from that ot any other
State in the Union. Cougress has, tacitly
at least, recognized her rights to exclude
liquors."
The affidavits upon which the injunction
was issued show that tbe package shops are
public drinking places, and tbe prosecuting
attorney, citing the clanse of the State law,
declaring places ot this character public
nuisances, made a strong argument in sup
port of the injunction.
The argument which was not finished was,
adjourned nntil Satnrnday next. The cases
are of especial interest as tbe first of these
characters arising under the new law.

wind. Hail and rain fell in streaks.
In a strip of country in the southern part
of the county, ten miles long and four miles
wide, crops were annihilated. Hailstones
were as big as hens' egs. Windows were
broken out of bouses in the hail belt and
5,000 acres of grain are a total loss. Wires

It is announced that Great Britain will pro

iefxciax. tklxgkax to the dispatch.!
Ottawa, Jnlv 8. A special meeting of
the Cabinet was held here this afternoon.
It was called for the purpose of considering
the critical turn affairs have taken with re
gard to negotiations in connection with the
Rehring Sea difficulty. A member of the
Cabinet said to-night that the report that
the negotiations had broken down was un
true, as they were still going on.
As to their nature he could say nothing
beyond the fact that the Government still
bad hopes that some understanding would
yet be reached. The Government have ap
prehensisns that serious complications may
yet arise before a settlement is reached.
BRITAIN BACK OP THEM.
The British Governmeut have informed
the Governor General that they will stand
by Canada and protect her sealing vessels
in Behring Sea from seizure by United
States cruisers, if the fleet now congregating
at Victoria has to be dispatched for that
purpose. Sir John Thompson, Minister of
Justice, arrived in London to-day, and will
at once confer with the British Government
on the subject.
An officer of the Government said to-day
that the United States authorities believed
they could do as they Used, as England
would not interfere. Now that England
has taken a stand and concentratedjthe
largest fleet at Victoria that has ever been
in tbe Pacific, it remains to be seen'.whether
Secretary Blaine will hold to his conten
tion as to the United States' jurisdiction in
Behring Sea, and seize Canadiau sealers in
face of the stand Great Britain has taken.
Less Drovocation, he said, has otten pre
cipitated two friendly nations into war, and
if the United States do not recede from the
arbitrary position they have assumed,
history ma again repeat itself and the
United States aud Great Britain may once
more have occasion to test the strength of
their naval military force. The first seizure,
it is believed, will be the signal for a
formidable protest from Great Britain.
A SUDDEN CHANGE.

They met in a saloon and the trouble was

Pope undertook to arrest Bob Stafford,
but was told that he would be killed if he
persisted. Quick as a flash Pope drew his
revolver and shot the two brothers. Ed
Young, a friend of the Staffords, opened fire
on Pope and wounded him in the side.
Then the City Marshal killed him with a

New York, July 8. With the ther
mometer in the 90's, and under a scorching
sun, about 7,000 of the locked-out cloak
makers paraded through the principal
streets. The rallying place was on East
Broadway and Butger streets, and early in
the afternoon Inspector Williams and a
squad of policemen were on the ground to
see that order was kept and travel' not en
tirely suspended.
The start was made shortly after 2 o'clock.
The men walked four abreast, and a platoon
of police headed tbe parade, alter which
came a brass band, President Garside and
Chairman Dale in a barouche, the Consoli
dated Board numbering 21 men, and then
the operatives to the number ot 7,000
or more. The only flags were two Ameri
can, one Italian and the large flag of the
union, which is red, white and gold.
The mottoes borne by some of the unions
were:
"Thanks to Public Sympathy."
"Locked Out, but Bound to Win."
"United We Stand; Divided We Fall."
There was as large a crowd following
them on tbe sidewalks, and on these thou
sands of men plodded through Rutger,
Canal and Broadway up to Nineteenth
street, where the parade was dismissed.
While the strikers were in Union Square,
Secretary T. H. Garside climbed up on the
platform of the little cottage and delivered
a briet address, in which he said be hoped
the men would be of good cheer and use no
violence, for they were about to meet with
success.
They waited long enough to cheer him
and then they broke for the fountains. It
was like a stampede of cattle after a drouth.
JLney crowded around and lought lite wild
animals lor a drink, and the big fountain was
transformed into a pyramid of wretched,
suffering humanity, crazy for a drop of
water to cool their parched tongues. Those

'oygetgy5'y 'as
discovered to-day in room 22, SI New street.
There are a lot of signs on the door and they
all say that the Pacific Mining Stock Ex
change is located there. There were half a
dozen men to-day in the room who said tbey
were interested in the exchange. G. W.
Rumdill is manager, and there were a num
ber of "brokers" hanging around ready to
receive orders.
The stock list of this exchange is the most
limited in the world, as only five stocKs are
gambled in. They are called Maple, Xenia,
Alpena, Orange and Mnksawba. There is
a cnbby hole labeled "Clearing House," a
cashier, a blackboard on which the fluctua
tions of these five stocks are registered and
a box in charge of a subordinate. This
looks like a faro box, only it is locked. In
it are 500 slips bearing the names of the
five stocks with different prices upon tbem.
The box furnishes the quotations to buyers
and sellers. For instance, if you want ten
shares of Maple you notify Mr. Rumdill,
and be calls upon the man with the box for
tbe price oi Maple. That individual pulls
a slip Irom the slot in the box, and it that
slip says Maple is 80 that will be the price
you will have to pay for ten shares.
When you want to sell that ten shares of
Maple, you order one of Rumdill's brokers to
sell it, and he calls upon the man with the
box for the price ot Maple. If thesiipbrought
out Irom the box says that Maple is 75, of
course you lose, but if the slip says that
Maple is 82 or 83, you make. It is simply
nothing but betting 'on the figures on the
slips inclosed in the box, but Mr. Rumdill
Insists that his scheme is legal. He says the
slips represent ample property, and he is
not violating the bucket-shop law. Captain
McLaughlin is to see whether he is or not.
HIGH WIUIIS IN MAINE.
A Young Cyclone Tears ibe Town of Wln
throp Up.
Wintheop, Me., July 8. About 8:30
o'clock to-night a very severe storm set in,
accompanied by almost incessant thunder
and lighting, together "with a heavy gale.
The latter rapidly increased in intensity
until it became a veritable cyclone. Its
path was most strongly marked on the west
erly side of the village, but some 200 feet in
width, and moved from west to east.
The streets are rendered impassable for
some time, and people were almost wild
with excitement. Never before in the
town's history has a storm visited it that
was fraught with so much damage and dan
ger, and there is great mourning to-night
over the ruin and desolation so suddenly
thrust upon it.

Philadelphia, July 8. Congressman
Benjamin Butterworth, of Ohio, who ar
rived here last night from Washington and
is staying at the Continental Hotel, was
taken "sick during the night with a severe
attack of cramps. A physician was called
in, under whose treatment Mr. Butterworth
gradually grew better. To-day he has al
most entirely recovered, but is still rather
weak from the attack. and is suffering
slightly from nervous prostration.
On his way up from Washington Mr.
Butterworth drank four large glasses of iced
tea, and this, together with the intense heat,
is.thought by the attending physician to
have brought on the attack.

THE PBINCE ON UNIFICATION.
Prince Bismarck expressed bis pleasure at
the visit, and said be was sure be was glad
to hear only German names. Germans must
feel satisfied with the unification of Ger
many, even on the other side of the Atlantic.
Formerly one was a Saxon, another was a
Prussian and another was a Hessian, but
now each called himself a German.
The marksmen might further contribute
toward the preservation ot the ties knitting
tbe two nations. He bad always striven to

Corpses of a Battle Forty Years Ago Fre
served by Salt Water.
BT DUJtLAP'S CABLE COMPAST.
Vienna, July 8. A recent heavy fall of
rain raised the water which for many years
has filled the Sala mine nearHermaunstadt,
in Hungary, to such an extraordinary height
to-day that a great many corpses
floated to the surface. They were
taken out with much danger and
difficulty, and proved to be tbe bodies
ot 300 Hungarian Honveds who had fallen
at tbe battle or Vitz Acna, which was
fought on February 4, 1849, and had been
thrown into the mine.
The corpses were so thorouehly preserved
by the salt water in which they had been
immersed that the wounds which had caused
death were still plainly to be seen. Two of
the bodies were headless.
TO REVOLUTIONIZE WABFAHE.
The Powerful Explo.We Just Discovered by

BT DDTitAF'S CABLE COSIPANT.
Paris, July 8. M. Paul Gilford, a
French scientist, has discovered a new pro
pulsive force which may revolutionize the
art of war. It is a condensed, liquified gas,
which he calls "la nouvelle balistique," or
"gaz liquifie." Three hundred drops of this
compound are contained in a small steel re
ceptacle under tbe rifle barrels, and each
time the trigger is pulled one drop falls into
the breech behind the bullet.
Contact with the air causes this drop to
volatilize instantaneously with an expansion
far exceeding that of gunpowder, which ex
pels the bullet with terrible velocity, ac
companied by neither noise, nor smoke." This
invention is also applicable to artillery.

little to lose. The veterans of the force

Milwaukee, July 8. Approximately
less than 15,000 men responded to the
reveille at Camp Caruaban this morn
ins. There is a deplorable lack of system
about the management of the camp, and re
sponsibility does not seem to rest on the
shoulders of any particular person. Up to
noon to-day only two brigades have submit
ted to Adjutant General McKee a report of
the number of men under their jurisdiction.
Several cases of prostration from the heat
occurred yesterday and to-day, bnt none
were serious. The Bed Cross Society has
established a hospital On the grounds and is
ciring for some of the cases of sicknes.
The features of the morning in the Pyth
ian Conclave circles were the grand recep
tion at the Exposition Building and the
opening of the deliberations of the Siprenie
Lodge at the West Side Turner Hall.
The exercises at the Exposition were
opened by Mayor Peck, who made one of
his characteristic speeches of welcome.
Governor Hoard followed with a welcome
on behalf of the people of Wisconsin.
These speeches of the executives of the city
and State were followed by remarks by
Grand Chancellor Hoskins, ot Fond du
Lac, and Judge J. P. Linton, of Johns
town, Pa.
After the reception the members of the
Supreme Lodge were escorted to the West
Side Turner Hall, which wa3 provided for
their use during the Supreme Lodge session,
and the first meeting of that body was
opened.
The parade of the Knights of Pythias
started at 4 P. ir.t and wai an imposing
spectacle. There were about 10,000 Knights
in line, and tbe number would have been
larger but for the heat, which kept many
from marching. The line was 1 hours in
passing the grand stand. The oldest brigade
in the order had the right of the line, the
next in age following, and so on
until the youngest brigade found its
position on the lett. The Indiana Brigade
came first, under command of General J. G.
Boss and staff, and the 1,400 men nnder the
banner made a splendid showing. Pend-'

with a temporary assignment trom Texas
numbering 250. all under the command of
General Frank Parsons, of Missouri. Then
came the New 1'ork Brigade following the
Californians aud Knights from other West

The sixth brigade was from Michigan.
Nebraska furnished the seventh brigade.
In the eighth brigade were smiling
knights who represented the Blue Grass
State, and to this brigade were temporarily
assigned South Carolina and Georgia.
Ohio, with her 1,800 knights, under the
command of General J. W. Green, made a
splendid showing. Next came Kansas with
a temporary assignment from New Jersey,
all under the command of General J. H.
Lyon. Then came the Massachusetts con
tingent and a temporary assignment from
Connecticut under the command of General
Abbott and staff, swelling the ranks of the
brigade to 00.
Commander Carnahan strenuously de
nounces the stcy to tbe effect that he had
refused the California delegation admission
to quarters because thev wanted to bring

Cleveland, July 8. The Grand Lodge
of Elks will take up the New York m.itter
to-morrow. It was said to-day that several
members of the rebellious New York lodge
were in the city for the purpose of keeping
posted as to what was being done, and to
find out how their action is regarded by the
people who have gathered here in response
to the call of the Grand Euler. These de
tectives, or whatever they choose to call
themselves, were very careful, however, to
keep in the background as much as possible.
Every lodge but one is represented here.
The absentee was No. 1, of Now York City.
Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey City, and all
other lodges in the immediate vicinity of
New York, were full and properly repre
sented. The parade this afternoon, although
the heat was almost unbearable, was a suc
cess. Lodges from all parts of the country
were in line.
The banquet at the City Armorv to-night
was attended by 1,000 persons. No intoxi
cating beverages were served.
A special from New York says that the
Grand Lodge Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks, acting on an order from Judge Law
rence, of the Supreme Court, met in the
New York lodge room to-day, disregarding
the convention's call for a meeting in Cleve
land, on the ground that the constitution of
the order forbids the holding of meetings
outside of this State, and elected officers.
The lodge also passed resolutions declar
ing the meeting in Cleveland illegal, and
repudiating its acts. The Committee on
Laws and Supervision was directed to
formulate amendments to the constitution
and statutes, which will compel subordinate
lodges to observe more faithfully what was
declared to be the primary object of the
order, the maintenance of a fund for the re
lief of members in need.

rSFZCIAI. TILIORA1I TO THE UTSPATCIM
Newbueg, N. Y., July 8. Four great
meteors dropped from to-aay's clear, blazing
sky into the Hudson, off Newburg, and
some people who saw the strange phenomena
believed the terrific heat was acconnted for
by the unwonted visitation. There was
nothing to indicate whence came the sudden
missiles which tore up the waters and dis
appeared with a mighty splash.
There was no disturbance of the atmos
phere save that made by the quick rush of
the falling bodies, and there was no premo
nition of their appearance until, after a mo
ment's flash of a dark body, the placid river
suddenly leaped into the air in white and
angry resentment of the blow. More than
three miles below Newburgh. upon the
w barf of the West Point Foundry Company
at Cold Soring, the official test was being
made of a mighty engine of war which John.
Bull had had made tor him, and wbich will
soon be sent to his great arsenal at Wool
wich. a successful test.
A great dynamite gun which will drop a
shell containing 200 pounds of dynamite
more than two mile3 from the firing point
was successfully tested in the presence of IE.
T. Byan, of Halifjx, who was sent by the
British Government to pass upon the capac
ity of the gun under contract specifications.
The weapon is 50 feet long, has a bore of 15
inches, and it delivers its projectiles, weigh
ing more than 000 pounds, by means of com
pressed air, having a pressure of 1,000
pounds to the square inch.
Captain Zalinski was in charge of the
test. It was the intention to make the test
with genuine dynamite shells, but a fish
constable, who leared that the explosion of
great quantities of the terrible stuff would
kill most of the fishes and frighten to death
all that were left, got out an injunction
against its use, so it iras necessary to sub
Elitnte an equal weight of sand in the shells
lor the explosive.
A preliminary shot with a wooden pro
jectile was first fired. A cigar-shaped log
about 8 feet wide and 15 inches in diameter
was sent from the gun, when pointed, at aa
elevation ot SO degrees. Tfee log came, out
of tne muzzle of thegreat gun witb"STT&Lz2-
mountain, height,Twhiriing and'twitting.'in
its flight.
NOT OUT OF SIGHT.
It did not seem to move very
fasL
Its
progress was lollowed by tbe eye with tha
greatest ease as it described a vast parabolic
curve and dropped into tbe river with a
great splash opposite Crow's Nest, about a
mile away. Then a regulation 8-inch steel
projectile was fired. This was a cigar
shaped steel and copper shell seven feet
long, which, when loaded with 150 pounds
ot dynamite (sand in tbi3 case) weighed
339 pounds.
The aim, as Captain Zalinski explained,
to make the shell as light as possible aud
yet strong enoagb. in order to carry the
greatest quantity of dynamite. Shells of
various caliber may be used, the sub-caliber
shells being luted at each end with
guides of wood to fill out the boreof the gun.
These guides drop off immediately after the
shell leaves the gun.
The first eight-inch shell was?fired under
a pressure ot 1,000 pounds to the inch.
When the firing lever was pulled by En
gineer Batcbellor there was a sharp hissing
as of the escape of steam under high
pressure for about a quarter of a second,
and then a report much like that of an
ordinary gun, but very much less in
volume.
NOISE NOT A FEATUEE.
In fact, an ordinary barking toy cannon of
less tbau an inch caliber would make more
noise. The projectile made a tar greater
flight than the log that went first. It occu
pied 21 seconds. The next shot was a beau
tiiul one. A ten-inch shell was used, weigh
ing 529 pounds, and capable of carrying
more than 200 pounds of dynamite. Then an
initial pressure of 1,000 pound was used,
and the great pointed cylinder, 7 feet long,
sailed into the air as straight as an arrow,
and, keening itself exactly parallel with its
line of fligbt all the way, it dropped into
the waters O' Newburg bay, two miles away,
just 22 seconds after it lett the gun.
The experiment did not in any way test
the accuracy of the gun. The points re
quired by the contract were that 200 Dounds
o dynamite should be thrown 2,500 yards,
and 100 pounds of dynamite shonld be
thrown 3,500 yards. These conditions were
fully complied with. The last shot with an
eight-inch projectile was tbe most success
ful of all. Less piessure w.i3 used and
much bitter results were obtained.
The initial pressure for the final shot was
875 pounds and tbe final pressure 745
pounds. The shell monuted higher than
any of the others and flew furtber. It
dropped into Newburg Bay, away beyond
tbe 3,500-yard buoy, and then everybody de
clared the test of the big gun a great suc
cess. EMEKATJ) ASSOCIATION MEETING.
