TERRIBLE COMBUSTION.
Some Discoveries Concerning ths Zig Dun,
ON the Now Cruiser,

Some Discoveries Concerning ths Zig Guns
ON the Now CruisOrS.
New YoRE, April 2G,-Tho fact that it
has been found necessary to shaft the
position of the Chicago's quarter boats,
so rs to preserve them for being blown
to pieces by tho concussion that follows
tho discharge OF the new high power
steel rifles, brings to light several prob
lens in naval architecture and gunnery.
The Chicago boat p:oblem is just this !:
The after boats Of that cruiser were
swung on davits, which, as usual on
ships OF her general model, were swung
outboard. With the old.fashOnCd Par
roLt guns this could be done with perfect
safety to the boats, but in the old Par
rott guns the charge OF powder was only
about one.tenth the weight Of the mis-.
silG, while in the new high power rifles
the charge Is sometimes Six-tenths.
Thatis for a shell in u Parrott gun OF
100 pounds weight only ten pounds OF
powder would be used, while in one Of
tho ChiCaGo's guns the same shell would
have sixty pounds OF powder behind it.
The result is that the conclusion from
the discharge OF one Of the new guns is
something gterrible-so great, in fact, that
when one OF the six.inch guns on the
gun deck Of the Chicago Is fired directly
along u line with her keel, the boats on
the side from which the gun Is fired are
smashed into kindliDg wood.
Some OF the naval officers claim that 1t
would not have made much difference,
for the Chicago might have lived her life
without the necessity arising for the dis.
charge Of her guns at this angle. The
Department took the view, however,
that n man.oi.war's boats are something
like an Oklahoma mans pistols. "She
may not need them often, but when she
does need them, she needs them power.
full bad, and the boats arc being swung
inboard.
The cruiser Boston shows another Gu.
rious phase OF this question Of ConCus-
sions from tho discharge Of the big guns
When the six.inch gun is fired from the
after port its muzzle is not more than
half dozen feet from the barbette in
which standU the eight.inch gun, and &C
great is the ConCussion when the six.inch
gun is fired in that position that It i'
| impossible for man TO live In the bar
bette. To test this question fully, some
time Rgo some sheep were confined In
Tic barbctte, and the six.inch gun wa!
fired. Not single sheep remained
alive. They had AL been killed by th'
shock.
When asked il this was not serious
defect in the effectiveness OF the Boston
battery, u naval officer replied: mo, /
Is not nearly so serious us 1t would ,ap
pear Mt first. OF course, it would be bet
ter II both these guns could be fred a
once, but there is little likelihood OF th'
necessity OF 80 doing arising, In case Q
fight the cighttipGh gun would be abl'
TO fully protect our rear. II j. by any
means should become silenced, then tht
men could be withdrawn from the bar

MONTREAL, April 20.-The anti-Jesuit
meeting held last night in Queens hall
was in session until midnight. The
whole question was considered in all its
bearings and the action Of the Dominion
Government as we'll as that OF the pro-
vinCial legislature, was freely and fear
lCssly discussed. The impression SEEM
cd TO be that u crisis was at hand and
that 1t became the Anglo.Saxons in
Canada to be up and doing and prepared
for the blow which it was felt must
come. Mr.. Charlton, member OF Par
lament, said he had every respect for
French Canadians, but that there was
no hope OF preserving intact the French
language aud institutions. Ifthe present
state OF affairs continued, the Church Of
Rome would soon possess two thirds Of
the estate Of the province. He also re-
ferred to the condition OF affairs in the
United States and compared the progress
made in tho State OF Ohio with that
made in the province Of Quebec whose
advance, he said, was being retarded by
the Church OF Rome.

tonight upon the arrival from Grand
Forks, Dakota, of Caleb Davis, the father
OF Simon Davis, who, it is claimed, gave
the evidence upon which James Shelton
was arrested and brought here as Richard
Dowell, Mr.. Davis says; "After hearing
that my sons name was being used in
connection with the Identification Of
James Shelton as Richard Dowell, and
fearing that he had become the victim
OF some scheme, I at once took the train
to see him" Mr.. Davis story is a
lengthy one. He comes back armed
with the sworn affidavit OF Chief Of
Police Hennessy, Of Grand Forks, in
which he states that no part OF the in
formation upon which said arrest was
made was received from one Simon
Davis, and that the said Davis was then
and is now unknown to atliant; THAT
aillant never had any conversation with
said Simon Davis. Mr.. Davis swears

from other places, one factory putting in
white labor altogether. The striking
rollers have taken no action yet, but con-
ference committees were busy yesterday
and the belief is that a decision to return
to work will be reached. 1t is believed
here now that the strike will lead to
radical changes in the system of work

operatives in the factories will DO whites.
All steamming will be done separate
