Firing Great Guns by ELECTRICITY.
Scribnet.'s fD,. October

On some of the larger European ships OF
war and on few United States vessels ar
rangements have been made for firing the
guns by electricity. This is usually accom-
pushed by causing the current from an or
binary zinc-carbon battery to pass through
what's known as an electric primer, inserted
IN tae vent of the gun. The primer, as
useI IN the United States service, is simply
a quill tube nearly filed with small-grained
powder, and containing a fine platinum
WIRE wrapped with wisp of gun cotton.
Inc platinum wire is connected with the
wires of the electric battery. When the
battery circuit is closed the platiluu be-
comes instantly whits-hot, thus ignitng
the primer and firing the gun. The firing
Key with which the circuit may be closed
at pleasure is placed III the pilot-tower, or
IN some other position where it is directly
under the control of tho commando 70
| officer, and the circuit is Of course kept
| open until the instant Of firing. The adj
| vantages claimed for sucd system are
| many. Obviously, under some circum-
| stances, as, for example, where it Is desir-
able to concentrate the whole broadside
upon certain point, and to fire all the
| guns together, such an ARA ngement would
nave great advantage over the ordil ar Y
method OF depending upon the simultaneous
| action OF the eunners. Again, 1t is no I'M
common occurrence in battle for u ships
| gun-decks to become so enveloped in smoke
that the enemy cannot DO seen By tue men
at the guns, and in such cases, W It'll an cleo
| trio system, the firing could DO done by an
officer clear of such obstruction. Usually
the electrical appliances admit, also, of the
guns being fired sinGly and in succession {;
and for cases WI ere til. ship is rolling hea qily
from side to side, an automatic circuit
closer Is sometimes employed, which, after
the regular firing key has been pre- ,se q,
closes the circuit and discharges the guns
the instant the vessel reache, an upright
positioo.

HAPPY DRUMMERS.
The Third Annual Dinner Of the
M. c. r. a.
a Merry Company at the Falmouth
Last Evening.
Good Speeches, Fine Music and
Tempting viands.

Success is word synonymous with the
Maine Commercial Travllers' Association.
Nothing that has been attempted by the as
sociation since its organization has met with
anything but unbounded success and its
third annual dinner at the Falmouth last eve
ming only illustrated NOR fullye the fact that
the Maine Commercial Travellers Associa-
tion can plan and carry out a dinner with
any organization in New England.
For long time has the efficient committee
of arrangements been at work and they must
have felt gratifed as they witnessed the
splendid results of their work last night.
Early In the evening the drummeIs and
invited guests commenced to gather in the
parlors and corridors Of the Falmouth, and
1t was a company Of 225 gentlemen, represen
ting every profession and class Of business,
that marched into the spacious dining hall at
o'clock.
Viewed from the balcony from which Col
lins's orchestra discoursed sweet music, the
hall presented an animated and beautiful
appearance. Four long tables we're laid
lengthwise of the hall and one crosswise at
the head. Head Waiter Coleman and his as
sistants had done their work well, and more
tasteful tables have never been laid in Port
land. Handsome silver ware, potted plants
and ferns, and profusion of cut flowers
contributed to the pretty picture. At the
centre of the cross table sat President J. ii.
Dow, and at his right and left Bishop FL. A.
Neely and Judge T. Fl. Haskell. Around
the table. among others, sat Rev. L. Fl. Hal
lock, President ]. E. Blabon and Secretary
Rich, of the Board of Trade, W. H. Milli-
ken, J.w. Perkins, j. F. Marston president
elect, j. II. Crockett and M. S. Gibson, the
proprietor of the Preble House. The
tables were occupied by these gen emen:

THE REFoRM SCHOOL.
An Interesting Suggestion Made
In Councillor Lords Report.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 31.-In his report as visit
ing member of the Governors Council to
the State Reform School, Hon. Tobias Lord
says that he has made eleven visits to the in
stitution. He has found the boys well
taught both in their studies, and the indus.
tries carried ON in the institution. They are
well clad and have an abundance of whole
some food, while the buildings are well
heated and ventilated and kept in proper re-
pair. There have been no deaths, and few
cases of sickness. Mr.. Lord has this to say
regarding the introduction of printing in
the school:
In last years report l touched upon the
subject relative to adding printing press to
the industrial departments of the school.
After giving the matter more mature and
deliberate consideration; after visiting a
similar institution in another State, where
this method has been adopted for long
period; after consulting the reports of va
rious establishments of like character, thus
becoming cognizant of the many marked
beneficial results which have accrued from
this source, l have become positively con-
vinced that printing department instituted
at our State Reform school would be one of
the most essential and important factors for
employment that could be introduced into
the institution, for the future advancement
and elevation of morality.
After being discharged from the school, if
the young man possesses fair knowledge of
the printers art, 1t necessarily brings him in
contact with an educated and respected ele-
ment of society.
Aside from the inestimable value which
this occupation would be to the pupil, after
a short period it would, without doubt, be-
come self-sustaining; and know of no rea-
son why certain portions of the State print
ing could not be accomplished at the school,
Surh = IFS ran0Pfc blank fOrme and
divers other materials used in the different
State departments. trust this matter will
receive due attention from the legislature in
the near future.

DISPATCHES FROM THE ADMIRAL
Confirming the News of the sufren-
der of the Haytlan Republic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary Whit
ney :to-day received dispatches from Ad-
miral Luce confirming the reports of the sur
render of the Haytian Republic at the de-
mand of the United States by Gen. Legitime,
the newly elected president of Hayti. The
dispatches were Immediately sent to Secres
tary Bayard. The report states that Hayti
surrendered the vessel Internationally as
soon as the demand was made and Gen.
Legitime offered to have the Haytian Re-
public towed out of the harbor Immediately.
Owing to a mishap to the cable, however,
the vessel was not formally delivered up
until the following day.
Secretary Bayard said this evening it was
not true that the Haytian Republic had
been given up on condition that the release
should be arbitrated by representatives of
the two governments. Hayti, said the Secre--
tary, of course may come into our courts and
there take action.
