| The Unusual Activity Shown by Inventors
Of Dynamite Death -DealingDe
Zalinski and Graydon Guns-A New Dyn
amite Monitor.
WASHINGTON. Aug 1S-Unusual activ-
ity has been shown by inventors this
session to convince Congress of the
adaptability Of high explosives to the
practical uses of war, and several i'm
provements in destructive agencies and
implements of warfare have been brought
to the attention of the military and naval
committees of both houses during the
session. AS result there are generous
appropriations, aggregating nearly three
quarters of a million, in the Army and
Navy bills for experiments with dynamite
shells, aerial torpedoes and the making
of air guns for hurting these torpedoes.
Among these inventions is what is
known as the Zalinski gun and the ''aerial
torpedo thrower", the latter the inven-
ton of Lieutenant ]. w. Graydon, late Of
the United States Navy. The Zalinski
gun throws six hundred pounds of dyna.
mite about mile and half from an air
gun about sixty feet in length, while
Graydon, by greatly increased all
pressure secures greater range, with all
guns thirty or thirty five feet long
The new cruiser "Vesuvius" is to be
armed with two of the Zalinski guns,
placed we'll forward and parallel to each
other, side be side, and fixed rigidly al
an angle of sixteen degrees. They are tc
be trained or sighted by changing the
course of the vessel.
Graydon's shorter gun it Is proposed to
use on what is known as Admiral Amon's
ram; four of these twenty -one inch tor
pedo-throwers to form part of the arma-
ment of this powerful engine of war, two
mounted on turtle back turrets, fore and
aft. These guns can be elevated and de-
pressed and trained like any piece of
ordnance, and with them it is proposed to
hurl enormous torpedoes containing
1000 pounds of dynamite at least two
miles.
The House committee on naval affairs
also have before them an original design
for a pneumatic dynamite monitor, the
invention of Representative Thomas, of
Illinois, with water ballast so arranged
that the vessel may be sunk when ready
for action to point which will just ex-
pose the turret, are features of this ves-
sci, which is similar in design to Admiral
Amon,.s proposed powerful ram.

FRAUDULENT CITIZENS,

Important Testimony Taken by the Con.
gressional Committee Showing How
| Aliens are Transformed Into Full.
Pledged Citizens in Ten Days on Pay
ment of Ten Dollars.
NEW YORK, Aug. 49,. The Congress
sional committee resumed their inquiry
regarding indiscriminate immigr alton
| yesterday. Henry j. Jackson, superin.
tendent of Castle Garden and secretary
Of the Emigration Commission, was the
| first witness. His testimony, in the main,
was a confederation of that already
ELECTED from Emigration Commissioners,
Tamtar and Stevenson.
Walter Mcintosh, secretary of the
United States Watch Makers Associa-
| ton, showed conclusively that some en-
gravers were brought here from London
under contract, and in direct violation of
the law.
F. N. Bell. sea captain, said that
Lockwood & Kay carry on a sort Of
brokerage business in procuring sea
captains positions. He swore that these
two men can take Nova Scotian and in
ten days make an American citizen Of
him and put him in charge of an American
ship. He said that Lockwood told wit
ASoS tlnl u uuSC 4holIISOu al DlOOhIy
fixes all details for him. Each individual
who wanted to become an American
citizen inside of ten days must put up
ten dollars.
Andrew W. Kay, ship chandler, said
he is Nova Scotian and said that he has
assisted his father", q man named
Evans, and another named Miller, to get
their naturalization papers. After a
good deal Of questioning by the members
of the committee, testimony was elected
corroborating the statement Of the pre-
vious witness regarding fraudulent nat
uralization.
Witness admitted that he knew a man
named Palmer, and had aided him to get
naturalized. Witness was quite uncom-
Portable when Palmer's name was men
toned, and before the committee got
through with him gave some very damag-
ing evidence against himself He admit
ted that he had sworn in Judge Moore's
court that he had known Palmer to he
worthy man for five years when he had
never met him. A man named Baylis got
ten dollars for securing Palmer's nat
uralization papers, which was divided
with deputy sheriff named Ross. After
a good deal of beating about the bush, the
witness finally said that he had been paid
three dollars by Ross shortly after
Palmer's papers were procured. Ad-
journed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The President
yesterday commuted the sentence Of dis
mlssal Of naval cadets Wiley I. Embrey
Arthur L. Willard, Geo. Richards,
Bernard H. Camden, Charles Lyle, Bien
B. Bier. Richard Fl. Leigh, Timothy F.
Maurin, and George 81. Sheppard, con-
victed of hazing on board the practice
ship Constellation, to confinement upon
the santee for thirty days, and that they
each be deprived of one-haf of their
annual leave. The President, in long
review of the cases, condemns hazing in
strong terms. and says that executive
clemency will not be granted to like cases
in the future, and is only extended now
because such trivial hazing as these
cadets were convicted of had not been in
the past considered sufficiently aggra-
waited to merit severe punishment
The ofenses for which these cadets
were recommended to be dismissed the

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

Mr.. Chase, the Quaker Senator
from Rhode Island, is credited with
this remark: The longer I am in pub
lie the more I am convinced that tenn
per is the one thing which every man
should have, should always keep, and
never let his neighbor know that he
has it.
/ Isaiah V. Williamson, of Philadel-
phia, is reported to be the wealthiest
bachelor in the United States. He has
fortune of twenty million dollars and
gives away large portion of it annu-
ally in charities. He is a plainly
dressed old gentleman, very modest
and retiring in his ways.
Charles Primeau, the aged inter-
prefer at the Standing Rock Agency in
Dakota, was an early Indian trader
among the Sioux in the Northwest.
He had many perilous and exciting ad-
ventures, sometimes barely escaping
with his life, and once had 100000 Of
property destroyed in twinkling by
the savages.
One OF the brightest and most
earnest of the students at the Baptist
Theological Seminary in Louisville was
formerly what is known as "street
fakir." He finds that his experience
in lauding the virtues of patent medi-
clnes before street crowds has been of
great help in developing his oratoricaI
powers for the pulpit.

Clara Morris, being convinced that
no speaker hears his own voice exactly
as others hear it, theorized that by
speaking into a phonograph and then
turning crank she would have a cor
rect idea of her declamations. Her
experiments have not been exactly
successful, as the repeated tones lack
the volume of the original utterances,
but there is said to be precise MINI
icry of emphasis, infection and tone.
Mr.. George W. Childs, of Phila-
delphia, has given another evidence of
his generosity and artistic taste, and
in this case tribute of affection as
well, in the gift of memorial window
of General Grant to St. Luke's Meth
odist Episcopal Church at Long Branch,
the church that both attended while
sojourning there. A life-size bust
portrait of General Grant in uniform
