BIG Guns.
The Krupp Factory SAID TO BE Manu-
featuring Monster.


ICopp.glt 1889 bv James Gordon Bennett.
LONDON, Oct. IA New York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE "A report re-
Gently went the rounds of the press to the
effect that the well, known gun makers,
Messrs. Krupp, at Essen, in Germany, have
on board ship at Hamburg for the fortica-
tions of Cronstadt q monster piece of ord
nance weighing 235 tons. The length of this
gun is said to be 40 feet, its calibre 1879
inches and diameter 81 feet, while we are
further told that its range Is eleven miles
and that four feet long projectile, weigh
ing |, 400 pounds was fired from 1t with 200
pounds of powder and penetrated 1871 inches
of armor In the first place there is no 235
ton gun in existence. In the second, when
there is we may expect from it better results
than have been attained by its predecessor.
Krugg's largest gun is SAID TO weigh $50 tons.
1t is not quite 4S feet long, and with 1,223
pounds of powder can throw II proiectile of
$500 pounds through sixty inches of wrought
iron. The same firm has also manufactured or
designed guns Of 139 and 1l9 tons, the latter
for the. Notifications at Spezia, in Italy. For
much better results, however, even than
those credited this apocryphal gun, we can
look in England. The Armstrong is lS0-
ton gun mounted. The Duefo, an Italian
man-of-war, is thirty-nine feet long and its
calibre seventeen inches. 1t can throw o
2,000-pound proiectile with 100 pounds of
powder through twenty-nine inches Of
wrought iron. This record beats the mag-
mary gun and the Armstrong The 105 and
1l0-ton guns carried by the LAURA, Doria,
Benbow and Victoria now give as good or
better results. Designs for gun of 1856
tons are said to be in the royal
gun factory at Wovlwich. The rage for
large guns, however, is dying out, and
everything points to smaller guns being
used in preference, both atloat and ashore.
The British sixty-seven-ton gun puts 200.
pound projectle through three feet of armor.
The French forty-seven-ton gun, with an
1,soO-pound projectile, can pierce nearly the
same thickness and its range is eleven and q
half miles, while this again is less than that
of the nineinch British gun which was used
to fire the jubilee range at Shoeburyness in
1897

THE EPISCOPALIANS.
Mormonism Puzzles the Bish op of
Utah and Nevada.

New YoRK, Oct. 14.-At to.day's session
of the general convention of the Episcopal
church the discussion of the resolutions for
a JOINT committee to prepare a standard
prayer book for 1892, on proportonate repre-
sentaJion and the question of the selection of
psalms, was postponed, The house then pre-
pared to receive the house OF bishops for the
discussion of missionary work.
The missionary meeting began at II 80 and
several addresses were made, among them
one by the missionary bishop of Utah and
Nevada. In Utah, he said, the Mormon
question is far from settled. When he first
went out there he thought he knew some
thing about it, but now, after years of work,
he confessed that it puzzled him. Tho COM
mlttee 10 whom was referred the report of
the board OF managers of foreign and domes-
tic missions regarding the proposed Sl,0O0,-
coo endowment which failed in its purpose,
suggested that the money be returned to the
subscribers. This matter was laid over

Germ to "discovern Stanley, has returned
Alero and has failed to find any trace

that Stanley has not been anywhere in that
quarter. The church mission people believe
this mans information completely trust

Africa. When he does come he will appear
with enough ivory Doodle to support him

Chicago's Mayor Speaks His Mind
Repnrninp Anarchy.


CHICAGO, Oct. 1t.-tSpeclal Telegram to
THE BEn.l-Three years ago Hon. Y. II.
Harrison was mayor Of the city Of Chicago.
Pandering TO the lawless element, he per-
mitted the propaganda of anarchy to grow
unchecked until the empty vaporing of
Anglo-German oratory resulted in the Hay
market massacre. Mayor Dewitt O. Gre
gier seems disposed to profit by the example
of his unfortunate democratic predecessor.
"When a convention Of people comes into
Chicago to act like Americans said Mayor
Cregier this morning, in referring to the ut
terances of yesterday they can have the

insult after insult on the American flag,

about the meeting of the socialistic labor
party yesterday except what have read in
the newspapers, but If what the papers re-
port Is true, then | think the organization as
a body ought to be drummed out of town.
When any organized body wilt hiss and hiss
at an American flag when 1t is unfolded in
their presence and grow very enthusiastic in
their applause when the bloody colors of
red flag are unfolded, think it time some
action was taken, and prompt action at that.
We have no use for such people who claim to
be citizens of the United States after this.

The language was as follows at was the

carried triumphantly through her streets"

Chicago Election Crookedness.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-[Special Telegram

a deep laid plot by politicians of rather
shady regulations to secure control of the

A Railroad Precinct" Thrown Out

in Montana.
HELENA, Oct. 14.-The Independent (dcm)
ays: The canvassers in Silver Bow county
to-day threw out the vote in what is known
as the railroad precinct" which gave
d emocra tic majority of ia.
This action, if upheld by the courts, will
seat the entire republican delegation from
that county, eleven members, overcome the
democratic majority in the legislature and
give the republicans control of the legisla-
ture.
The democratic managers applied for a
writ of mandamus to compel to canvassers
to count the rejected precinct. The throw
ing out of this vote, while reducing Toole's
vote for governor, does not overcome his
majority.
The members of the democratic state COM
mittee feel confident that an order will be Is-
sued by the Judge compelling the cauyassers
to count the vote, as the supreme court sev =
eral years ago decided in case OF the sam Q
Kind that if the votes were legally cast, the
