Test OF Dynamite Gun.

NEW YORK, January 10. The test of
Captain Zalinski's pneumatic dynamite
gun which was made this afternoon at
Fort Lafayette gun harbor, was very
satisfactory. Three tests of 1000, 500 and
100 pounds were to have been made, bu.
the programme in this respect was not
carried out. Only two shots were fred,
one 200-pound she'll and the other a
500 pound, charged with Ne.1 dyna-
mile, and each was discharged at point
the size of vessels decks, marked by a
buoy al distance Ct one mile. 1t was
impossible to demonstrate thoroughly
the distinctive power of the shots. but
it was said that either of them to-day
would have destroyed any man-of-war
afestsG The gun was of 15irch oalibre,
and each shot upward body of water
to the height of bout 300 feet.

A WOMAN'S CLAIM.
She Pinned the Campaign from
Fort Henry to Chattanooga

WASHINGTON, January 13.-One Ct
the most interesting characters in
Washington just now, and one who is
attracting great deal of attention, IS
Miss Ella Carroll, daughter of ex-Goy-
ernor T. K Carroll, of Maryland.
The remarkable claim which she sets
up concerning her connection with the
late war is one which, if substentiated
would detract very largely from the
fame of General Grant, and his place
in history. Miss Carroll is II years of
age, completely paralyzed, and in very
needy circumstances When the war
broke out she was living at Princess
Ann, on the east coast of Maryland,
and although her people were in sym
pathy with the Southern cause. she
was from the outset strong Union
lady After the first regerses of the
war, and when things looked dark and
ominous for the North, Miss Carroll set
rself to work to devise some plan
with which to defeat the Confederates.
She suggested to General Halleck that
he build feet of gun.boats, and with
the Ohio, Tennessee and mberland
Rivers as q means of transportation of
supplies to push the war down to Chat
tanooga, into the very heart of the
Confederacy. Her plan Included the
obstruction of Forts Donelson aud
Hsnry, which guarded the entrance 10
t iose rivers; thence to push column
of troops down into Tennessee; force
the evacuation of Nashville and fight a
decisive battle at or near Cornith, dis
embarking the troops at some point
along the river, her ultimate design be-
ing that when the heart of the Con-
federacy was reached, to force q column
across the country to. Atlanta, and
thence to the sea, thus breaking off en-
tirely railroad and telegrapbic commu-
nication between the TWO wings of the
Confederate army. As will be readily
seen this was the exact plan of opera
ton followed out under Grants direc-
tons. These plans Miss Carroll sub
mitted to General Halleck in writing.
That they were adopted was evident
from the record of subsequent events.
Miss Carroll now has bill before Con-
gtess for SS0O,000 as the price of her
plans for defeating the Oonfederacy.
She is however, greatly in need of
fl @s-o'ai aid snd desires only a smal
pension 20 Q reward for the servic,
nn.un she re udereu 70 tue Union. Her
applics ton fer pension has been favor
ably Endorsed by Grant, Halleck and
Sherman, and 1T is thought by some
that il Is probable that the bill will pass
at this session.

CALEB W. WEST told the House Com
mittee on Territories, on Friday, thai
he appeared as the Governor of Utah,
and represented himself as citizen"
of this Territory. Governor he is, but
how, when and in what manner did he
become a citizen7 He is not tax
payer and owns no taxable property
which the assessor has been able
to find. 1t is doubted that his
mans appears on the registra-
ton list. His citizenship of Utah,
admitting that one acquires citizenship
by bringing grip-sack into the Terri
tory and living in hotels and restau-
rants, will last just as long as his COM
mission as Governor is valid, and no
longer. OF all the carpet-bag Governors
with which Utah has been favored or
afflicted, as you prefer, West has the
least right to claim citizenship, because
less than any of them has he become ma
terially interested in the Territory
Even Murray figured in connection
with some mining companies, and actu.
ally owned furniture; but West confines
his possessions to q grip-sack and a
wardrobe, with, perhaps, the essential
toilet articles for q bachelor about
town. If the citizens of Utah were all
like West, how things would boom in
this Territory

A holy CRUSADE.
To the Editor of TIE HERALD:

To the Editor of TIE HERALD:
I Can you please inform me. or explain in
your next issue, what Mr. Fred Simon, of
the firm of Simon Brothers, the First South
Street millinery and fancy goods merchant,
and one of the directors of the Salt Lake
Chamber of Commerce, means by Stating
10 Presidentelect Harrison, that he would
like to see holy crusade against polygamy
in Utah? A SUBSCRIBER.
The above is the shortest of a dozen
similar communications which reached
THE HERALD yesterday. hence We select
it for publication. We don't know
what Mr.. Simon means, and we don't
believe he knows. Asked for our opin-
ion, we might say that MI. Fred feared
General Harrison would never forgive
him if ne neglected to call on the Presi-
dent-elect and give the latter the bene-
fit of his advice as to the manner of
managing the Republic. You see, Gen
eral Harrison is very sensitive
man, and nothing hurts him more than
to be sighted by those he regards as
the bright statesmen of the country.
Mr., Simon had just been elected a
director of the Salt Lake Chamber of
Commerce, the news of which event
must have reached Harrison and made
him exceedingly anxious to meet Mr..
Simon, and obtain from the latter direct
his valuable opinions as to things in
general and Utah in particular. Under
the circumstances, Mr.. Simon was
justified in going a few hundred miles
out Of his way to put Harrison in tie
way of making a success of his ad
ministration.
As to what a Holy Crusade is, or
would be, THE HERALD must confess
itself wholly in the dark. Manifestly
it wouldn't be an unholy crusade. With
an e in the adjective the crusade would
be one with holes in it. Aud here again,
We are at sea, as the reader will also
find himself, for nobody can see what
kind of thing a crusade against polyg
amy with holes in it would be. Now, If
Mr.. Simon had suggested a pure in
heart crusade, hallowed crusade,
sanity crusade, a sacred crusade,
pious crusade, devout crusade, re-
ligious crusade or divine crusade, We
could have fsthomed the business ct
once, but 8 Holy Crusade is too broad,
too deep and too thick for ordinary
mortals TO penetrate, fathon, interpret
and decipher. Only great statesmen
can understand it, and to such we refer
our inquisitive correspondent.

THE FRUITS OF FACTION.

Mr.. Anthony Higgins has been elected
United States Senator from Delaware.
He is having some trouble Oh account
of his credentials, but that will ali be
arranged, and on March 4th the seat
Will belong to him. Mr.. Higgins is
Republican in politics, and from time
immemorial the little State has been
represented in the Senate by emo
Gratis. That q Republican has been
chosen now is due to factional quhrrei
among the Democrats. The Bayard
family has held a mortgage on Della
ware for d century, more or less, and
one of that family has been re"og-
nized political boss all of that time
There is another family in the State.
with the sirpame of salisbury, which
for a genera ion or SO has shared the
honoIs an Sena,orships with the Bay
ards. So lOag as there were two Sena-
torships and a Salisbury and q
Bayard, political matters ran along
smoothly enough. Mr.. Bayard
went into the Cabinet when Mr.. CleVe-
land became President and that LETT the
seat in the Senate which had been IN
the Bayard family from time i'm
memorial, to be occupied by somebody
else, and that somebody YVES brilliant
young lawyer, George Gray, who Will
hold the place until 1898. and who is
making such q good record that 1t IS
likely the Delawareans will be pleased
to continue him. Last summer Mr..
Bayard saw in the political horizon
signs of the defeat of Mr.. Cleveland,
and he thereupon laid his plans to get
back into the Senate. AS his own
seat was occupied, he would necessarily
have TO take that of Senator Salisbury
and in order to get it would haVS TO
"down" the last named with the peo-
pie. Salisbury saw what was IN the
wind, and it was plain to him that the
defeat of Bayard was essential to his
own salvation. A Kilkenny fight in
the Democratic ranks followed, with
the result that when it came to o count
of the noses on joint ballot in the
Legislature, there were sixteen Republi-
cans and fourteen Democrats. The
further consequence is the sending to
the Senate from Democratic Sta'e, Of
q Republican.
There are thousands Of true and con
sistent Democrats scattered over this.
broad Republic who will not shed q
tear over this affair. There are thous-
ands of Democrats who will rejoice if
thia event marks the permanent retire
ment of the Saulsburys and the Bay
ards who have long been living and
posing on the reputation OF dead an
cestors. Partisans who will destroy
their own party by fractional quarrels
are deserving of political burial, and
Bayard and Salisbury have been ready
for oblivion:on their own account these
many years.
Anthony Higgins, the newly elected
Senator, is more ot politician than a
statesman. He is & clever manager,
and is entitled to the reward that has
been conferred, if Offices can be re
gsrded as rewards for partisan service.

LITERATURE.

TROPICAL AFRICA. By Henry Drummond,
LII. D., F. r. s E. F. G s., New York,
"a East 4th Street: The HUMBOLDT
Publishing Company. Price Is cents. =
One OF the most timely publications
to be found is the book with the above
title, issued by the Humboldt Publish
ing Company. 1t is work of almost
thrilling interest, giving an account of
the authors experiences and observa-
tions in trip through some of the
most mysterious portions of the con-
tinent which is now attracting so
largely the attention of the public. 1t
is very racily written, and the author is
both graphic in his descriptive pas
sages, and witty in his observations.
The very interior life of the countrr,
where civilization has just begun to
wrestle with barbarism, is laid open.
Much Of the book is devoted to dis
cussion Of the slave trade, which has
depopulated whole regions of the con
tinent; and Professor Drummond is
very anxious to see a combination Of
European powers for the purpose Of
bringing it to an end. The number is
104 of the Humboldt Library pubiica-
tons.
