The Thurl0W Gun

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Star prints
the following: 1T seems that the cast steel
pitch breech- loading rife known as the
Thurlow gun, which apparently passed
the Government firing tests successfully
at Annapolis last week, is not going to
have such an easy victory over the hooped
or built up cannon after all. The official
report of the officer conducting the tests
mentioned certain defects discovered in
the bore of the gun that will probably give
ground for final report adverse to its ac-
ceptance by the Government. They are
thought to be due to the gas bubbles that
formed during the casting process Friends
of the cast steel gun are hopeful that the
defects noted will not cause the gun to be
rejected. The cast gun is greatly cheaper
than the other and takes about one-fourth
as long or less in construction"

to tell his famous story. Accordingly
one morning after breakfast in the long
gallery, when seated not far from

to tell his grace how much he should like

be seriously offended, but looking around

Testimony All In.


Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Penitentiary
Investigation Committee met yesterday
morning and DR.. Krohn was put on the
stand. He was questioned as to his
knowledge of the letter testified to by
Luitweiler and said he knew nothing of
such letter or any such terms as men
toned III the same, nor did he
know of any agreement between
Buckley. Barnes and Loper by
which the directors were to be fixed or
taken care of if such existed. Never had
any of the above mentioned persons held
any conference with him, or attempted to
do so, concerning the management of the
penitentiary.
Contractor F. C. Buckley was put on the
stand and examined regarding his connec-
tion with the letter alleged to have been
written by him to DR.. Krohn, aud he ac-
knowledged he had written it when he was
angry at Director Hiatt. and wanted to
persuade Krohn to use his influence
against Hiatt's reappointment When
reading the letter over he saw some false
assertions were contained in it, and there
fore did not send it, but thought he had
destroyed the entire letter. The reference
in the letter TO an agreement existing
between Loper, Buckley and Barnes to
fix" the directors was entirely false be-
ing manufactured maliciously for the pur-
pose of injuring Hiatt. The witness con-
fessed that he had thought of using such
dishonorable means of getting even with
Hiatt for no definite reason except that
Hiatt ad told him he could not have a
contract unless an old balance standing
against him on the State books, which
witness claimed was not due. was settled.
Mr.. Shindler. the next witness, testified
that Buckley had read him a statement in
which he asserted that among all Atchison
men Loper stood nearest Governor Martin;
that several meetings were held in Atchi-
son; that Buckley gave Hiatt money
at different times. Buckley also told
him that a certain man in Atchison
could tell a great deal of the manner
of letting coal contracts. and said he had
Hiatt and Barnes on the hip. The follow
ing Sunday Buckley told him that he had
unfortunately lost the statement referred
to, and he could not give the expose he in
tended.
