The Naval Gun question excitss mnen
attention in England just noe. The
necessity for producing lighter type Of
gun capable OF giving an effect equal to
inst Of their heavier predecessors long
ago occurred 70 every artilierist, but no
development took place TIL the early
part OF 1878. Public attention was then
loudly called TO SOME new guns which
had been constructed by the firm OF Sir
W. Armstrong, which, weight for
weight, gave just about twice the power
of any other ordnance at that time ex-
isting. This is the type OF guns which
have now at last been adopted for Eng
llsh ships, aud not TIL year afterwards
did Herr Krupp invite attention TO bis
new guns, the power of which, weight
for weight, was practically the same A.
that attained by Sir W. Armstrong. The
English guns we're made of steel tubes
with wrought-iron coils over them, and
both as muzzls-lOadere and breech-l0ad-
ers. 1t win naturally be asked why the
British military and naval authorities
have not, hike the Italians seized at once
upon the new method. Had they done
so there would have been no point Of
standiDg-ground for those who have
lately raised SO great an agitation on the
subject. The defense of the authorities
would no doubt be that any such change
of naval ordnance involves also the pre-
duction of an immense stock OF new pro
;ectiles and new appliances, aud the
creation of stores of them all over tbt
world. Bot what then is to be done ii
the future? The German navy ha
commenced TO arm its ships with gum
OF the new type and no doubt otnel
Continental Powers will follow the ex
ample. Italy Is purchasing largely from
Sir W. Armstrong, who has, within Tbs
last few months, designed still strong
er form of gun in which he uses stee
ribbons, instead of wrought-iron coils
| outside the steel tube. 1t Is clear tina
uavies are in presence of one Of thos
developments which occur at interval
of time and render existing types NOR
or lees obsolete. The guns OF the pas
are obsolete in all nations. The neE
types of the present must be CAREFUL
selected aud gradually take the place Q
| the old ones.

revival meeting at Carlisle, Ind, and

Mr.. WISDoM deserves great credit
for his action, and the accuracy with
which the refunding operation was
effected. Had he not done what he
did it is doubtful now whether Con-
gress would pass even a 81 per cent.

very powerful lobby now to prevent
the passage Of such a bill, and had
it not been done, such lobby as ha,
never been seen IN Washington since
the great railroad grants were passed
could have been arranged to work il

OsE of the benefits originally pre-
dicted from the use of the electric
light was that fire risks would be
abated by removing the dangers OF
faring gas jets and explosions from
leaky pipes. 1t, however, appears
that the currents of electricity which
produce light can as readily pro.
duce intense heat, and a new and
special risk is therefore caused.

Courier-Journal, 81
Yesterday Mr.. Huntington. General
Echols, Colonel McHenry. Mr.. Ex.
Norton, Robert Meek and Others con.
nected with the Chesapeake & Ohio.
came to Louisville for conference. and
were registered at the Gait House.
Last night Mr.. Huntington, though
somewhat unwell from the effects Of
his journey and his labors, consented
to talk a little to the public through
the Courier Journal. Mr.. Hunting
tons well known r~eticence forbids
anything like an interview, but during
the conversation he said
u am here more for change than for
any definite purpose. We are gradu-
ally perfecting our lines, and before
long We expect to have the finest route
to Washington. The line from Rich.
mond to the Big Sandy is, | think.
the equal Of any in the country, and is
laid throughout with sixty pound steel
rails; By June l we hope to have the
gap between Paducah and Memphis
built, but we shall not wait until then
TO put on through cars to Newport
News. With the exception Of a short
distance on u eastern end, our road
bed is perfect hat portion is yet a
little soft, and at present we are not
taxing it with through business.
Louisville was at the beginning
our objective point, but our plans have
grown as we advanced, and now we
will connect ocean with ocean. 1t is
possible We shall build a line from
Elizabethtown to Lexington across
the country; that will depend on the
facilities accorded us in Louisville. If
we can arrange to pass through here
without too much switching in and
ont we may bring all our business this
way,
Il cannot say what influence a road
from here to N~icholasville or Harrods-
burg, connecting Louisville with the
cincinnati Southern, will have on our
future building; perhaps we can use it
for some distance. DR.. Stamford is a
man of energy and good judgment; he
has my confidence and it is a pleasure
to cooperate with him."
Mr.. Huntington was asked if he
was attempting to purchase the Louis
vile, Evansville and st. Louis Air
Line, so as to connect his system with
Gould's. He said if negotiations Of
that character were going on he knew
nothing Of them. He had several
plans for reaching St. Louis-perhaps
that was as good as any.
The party left this morning at 6
o'clock, and will go hence to Padu.
cab, Memphis and New Orleans. Mr..
Huntington said nothing definite con.
corning the location of general Offices
in Louisville until the line to Mem.
Dhis was complete.
