Lowry strolls up from his residence once
or twice daily to attend to any duties need

found at his post daily, courteous and

Terrible Work Of the French rifle.

From the London Telegraph
According TO all accounts the new "l.e-
bel rifle" is wonderful weapon, and is
destined to do terrible things in the hands
OF French soldiers. The members Of the
Academy Of Medicine, wishing TO diagnose
the physical consequences Of wounds in
ilictcd by the bullets OF the gun, recently
had experiments made on twenty corpses.
probably those OF paupcrs whom nobody
owned, or those OF Inflated waits picked
up at the morgue. The bodies were placed
at the ordinary firing distance Of 200 yards
up to a mile or 81. The bullets whizzcd
through the bodirepd pierced them with
out imcturing thtAi, n is done by the bul.
lets OF the "GuS rite" The wounds, II
they may bc called So which were in.
flicted, were small IN their puncturcs, and
consequently very dangerous and difficult
TO heal. Injuries Inflicted ut short dis
tances were so con- siderable that, in the
opinions Of The Surgeons, they would be
almost incuablcS AZ the longest range
1000 mcters-a poplar tree was hit, but
the bullet did nof ~ through the tree. At
|, 200 meters thofree. was pierced through

are accompanied by smoke. and the re-
ports are comparatively feeble.

Special Telegram 10 the Register.
NEW YORK, August 26.-There is great
turmoil in the Republican camp. The
Presidents message on the fisheries mat.
ter has placed them in position which
they don't know how to get out of.
There was meeting of the Repub-
lican bosses held at the Republican
campaign headquarters, 81 Fifth Avenue,
on Friday afternoon. Most of the MEM
bers of the Republican Executive Commit
tee were present. In addition, they called
in several prominent Republicans as sd-
visers. Tom Platt was there, 80 was Levi
p. Morton and several other prominent
men in the party. The question
under discussion was what was best
to do with the Presidents message. 1t
was argued, 30 the story goes, that should
the Senate pass bill giving the President
the power he requested, it would be tacit
admission that it was wrong in rejecting
the treaty.
In the meantime the feeling in this city
is getting to be intense. In the CONNER
cisl community circles irrespective of par
ties the sentiment is strongly in favor Of
the Presidents action. Assoon as the Re-
publican Senator's decision is known,
prompt action will be taken. Should the
Senate refuse the request it is probable
that meeting of the business community
will be held in this city and meeting,
which, in point of numbers and capital
represented, has never been exceeded.
