THE CRUISER VESUVIUS.
Dynamite Guns Fifty-four Feet Long
and Seven-fOOt Shells.

Dynamite Guns Fifty-four Feet Long
and Seven-foot Shells.
The Vesuvius was launched at Cramps
shipyard April 28th, and is intended to
demonstrate the practicability of using
Captain Zalinski's dynamite gun at1Oat
in naval warfare. She is small, mast
less vessel of 725 tons displacement, long
and arrowlike, drawing only 9 feet OF
water, and with powerful twin screw
triple-expansion engines designed to
give speed of 20 knots. Her length is
252 feet, and breadth 26 feet. A small cen
trail superstructure and thinly-armored
coming tower are built upon the upper
deck, which is 5 feet above the water
line.
The after part of the ship is devoted to
the quarters for the captain and officers,
the middle compartments to the engines
and boilers and the forward compart-
ments to the crew and the three 15-inch
dynamite guns, which are built into the
ship at a fixed elevation of Is degrees,
projecting above the upper deck near
the bow and extending down nearly to
the keel. The angle of elevation has
been recently increased from Is degrees
to Is degrees to diminish the chances of
ricochet, and thus insure the torpedo
action of the shell. The guns are side
by side and must be pointed by the
helm, the steam steering gear and twin
screws contributing quick turning power.
The guns are smooth bOres, tiftyfOur
feet long, and made in sections of thin
cast iron. 1t is as yet thought best not
to rife these guns, as it would cause
additional strain upon the gun projectile
and increase, by friction, the heat and
consequent danger.
To keep the shell steady in it's flight
there is tail tube with spiral vanes at
tached, which act much on the principle
of the feather of an arrow. The shell is
made of thin drawn brass tubing, and is
1891 inches in diameter and about feet
long, exclusive of the tail tube. The
operation of loading is very simple.
Compressed air is the firing medium. A
storage reservoir near the keel contains
air at a pressure of 1000 pounds per
square inch. From the storage reservoir
the air is admitted to the firing reservoir
near the breech of the gun. A valve
admits the air from the firing reservoir
to the gun barrel in the rear of the shell
and starts the latter on it's journey. The
man at the firing lever controls the
valve, so that it may be opened to any
extent he may desire, thus regulating
the amount OF air that is to be admitted
to the gun barrel. The greater the
amount admitted the greater will be the
range of the projectile. Experiments
will readily determine the size of the
opening for any desired range, thus
bringing the gun under the complete
control of the operator.

THE BRITISH POSTOFFICE.

There can be no doubt that the British
postal system is the most complete of
any in existence, and gradually foreign
nations are adopting it's improvements,
which are all in the line of cheap service
for the people, whether it be for letters,
papers, parcels, or kilograms, or savings
all are being steadily reduced to the
lowest cost that the service can be
done for.
The British postoffice report for the
year ending March 81, 1888, has been
published, and without referring now to
the enormous work in the letter and
newspaper service, we quote from an ex-
change a brief statement of what is
being done in the parcel post, savings
and telegraph branches. Some two
years ago, the cost of ten-worj telegraph
messages was reduced from "a to II
cents each, and it was predicted that it
would prove failure. But so great has
been the increase of business consequent
on the reduction, that the Postmaster
General reports it has paid expenses
only two years after the change:
The employment of the parcels post
during the year has increased twelve per
'ent. and over thirty-six million pack
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-11-09

ages have been sent. The extension OF
the foreign parcels post is to be credited
with part of this increase. Game and
flowers are now largely sent by parcel
post Over y 900 parcels containing no
less than upward of 40 900 grouse were
last autumn sent to London, while con-
siderable number of vegetables were sent
in parcels last March from Algiers. Some
firms use the parcel post very largely.
Two London firms are reported to have
each posted at one time no fewer than
20, 600 parcels, and another 5000. In
creased facilities have been given to the
sending of watches and jewelry by regis
tered letter post. Parcels containing
these things are not now insured when
sent by the parcel post, and compensa-
ton is not paid for their loss or damage.
This, again, testifes to the confidence
with which the public regard the Post
office
Savings bank business was greatly in
creased, there being $4,000 more de-
posits than the previous year, and the
money increase being over four million
dollars, and the total amount eighty mil
lions. AT the end of the year the amount
on deposit had increased by fifteen mil
lions. These figures indicate confidence,
and an increase in thrift and prosperity
among the poorer classes.
There was an increase of over three
million telegraph messages, and the total
is now over fifty-three millions, and the
receipts have paid all expenses and left
a balance for interest in investment.
There are now $50 postal telegraph
stations, and the wires are rapidly going
under ground.

Be just and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim's st at be
Thy COuntry's, thy Gods. and Truths.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1888.

THE column or so of print in which a
| Bulletin correspondent with a Latin
pseudonym protested to give the charges
against the present Government and it's
| supporters, in definite and specific FORM
was as destitute of substance as an ex-
an apparently frank admission of " the
fairness of the request to specify the
charges made against the Government"
and adds, "I shall endeavor to state in a
condensed form what are the leading
charges at the present time" Having
made this promising beginning, he goes
straight on, and never, to the end of his
letter, gives so much as one single fact
or figure to justify his general conclusions.
Anyway, he onght, if only for the repu-
tatIon of the journal for which he writes,
to have made a better showing. A
Ministry, a portion of whom are compar-
atively new in public life, can hardly
come into power as the result of revo-
luton, and hold Office for sixteen months
under exceptionally trying circum-
stances, going in the meantime through
two legislative sessions, without afford
ing some fair ground for criticism, and
making some mistakes which could be
definitely stated in black and white. But
this class of writer's seem to have an in
vincible repugnance to facts, even such
as might be made to tell in their own
favor. They seem to be incapable of
dealing in anything but generalities of
the loosest kind. A more complete, and
even pitiable collapse, could hardly be
imagined. One feels in doubt whether
to attribute it to entire mental vacuIty,
and ignorance of the subject upon which
he has undertaken to instruct the public,
or to fatuous faith in the inability of
the audience for whom he writes to dis
tinguish between assertion and evidence,
or between personal opinions and proof.

The Canadian Subsidy.

The British Government has at last
signed the contract with the Canadian.
Pacific Company for an annual subsidy
of 1925 700, to be paid in consideration OF
a monthly steamship service between
Vancouver, Yokohama, Shanghai and
Hongkong. Besides this subsidy the
company gets $4,000 a year from the
Canadian Government. So that its ac-
tual subsidy is $500, 900 year, or $25, 900
for the round trip. 1t has advertised for
three new fast steamers to take the place
of the old Cunarders which are now on
the berth.

The Iron Protectionist on Trusts

Andrew Carnegie, interviewed in New
York, said there was no possibility of
maintaining trusts. They are bound to
go to pieces sooner or later. The chief
trusts are in Europe and are maintained
by free traders. He denied the report
that on September Goth he arranged at
Glasgow for an international steel rail
trust, embracing European and Ameri-
can works. "There is no trust in steel
rails" he said. ''We can no more COM
bine than the newspapers. No trade in
the country is more disastrously CON-
peted for than the steel-rail trade. The
assertion that the manufacturers of steel
rails in this country made unusual profits
was groundless." Carnegie said in rela-
ton to politics that Harrison's election
would create confidence and Clevelands
distrust,

Enemies Of His own making.

Cleveland posed as the high toned and
austere civil service reformer during the
first months of his administration, and
succeeded in alternating a large number OF
influential Democrats, who had aided to
elect him. Since then he has seen the err
TOR of his ways, judged from a political
point of view, and he has made amends,
wherever possible, by discharging Repub-
lican Office holders and putting in good
Democrats. Some Of the wounds, how
ever, could not be healed, and in New
York there are Q number of influential
Democrats, who will knife the president
If there is any chance at the coming con-
vention. Ono of these is Mayor Hewitt,
who saw his brother-in-law severely
snubbed after they had contributed to the
campaign fund about as heavily as any
two men In New York. His pretense Of
reform in tho civil service never gained
Cleveland any praise except from the
Mugwumps, while it lost him the respect
even OF the honest men in his own party.
