A Remarkably Corroborative Article.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Oct. 10. The fol-

Washington Gazette: 'sYes, sir, the figures

made up at census Offices said clerk of
that bureau, "and 1 know it. They were
only estimated at the time but they have
turned out to be substantially correct Mr.

to base an apportionment bill upon them.

will see that taking the population of Sc

member to every 10000 inhabitants, it
will make it very difficult for the Demo

this fall shall demonstrate that the Re-
publican line in the west, is weakened by
the passage of the Mckinley bill.
For example, the states now called

total electoral vote of 21S while the states

the doubtful column Connecticut, Indiana,
New York and West Virginia, and the
Democrats would have to carry all four of
these to elect the President while the Re-
publicans need only carry one of them"

The Case of poIlon and o,Brlen.

DUBLIN, Oct 13.-The case against
Dillon and O'Brien and ten other defend
ants was resumed at Tipperary today.
John Edgar O'Mahoney, one of the de-
PENDANTS is i'll, AID medical evidence was
submitted showing that it would be impos-
sible for him to attend the trial for several
days. 1t was also shown that his condition
was such that when able to appear in court
he would be subject to recurrence of his
sickness through the excitement of the
trial.
The crown prosecutor, Roman, closely
questioned the doctor regarding the nature
OF O'Manoney's illness.
l.. Il. B. Dillon, of counsel for the de-
tense, protested against Romans questions
which he characterized as horrible.
David Sheehy, enc of the accused, de-
nounced as barbarous the manner in which
the crown was conducting the prosecution.
Roman asked an adjournment until to-
morrow when the crown would suggest a
course that would enable the court to pro-
coed in spite of the absence of O'Mahoney.
Dillon objected to the shortness of the
adjournment and was supported by his
fellow cousel j. E. Redmond. The bench
acceded to Romans request.

A Large Crowd at Alliance;

PITTsBURG, Oct 13-At Alliance another
large crowd greeted the presidential party,
and the President made the thirteenth
speech of the day. He told the people he
had begun talking before breakfast and had
scarcely had time for lunch, but so long as
his voice was left he could not fail to recog-
nize these hearty greetings. This respect
is not withheld by political opponents, and
1t is pleasant to know that in all things that
affect the integrity and honor and perpetu-
lty OF our government we are above party
consideration. There is not much Presi-
dent can do to shape the policy of the gov
eminent for, after all, the policy of our law
is directed by Congress. The President
may veto but he cannot form bill.
Therefore" said the President, sit is of
great interest to you and to all our people
that you should choose such men to repre-
sent you in Congress, as will faithfully
promote those policies to which you have
given your intelligent adhersion.'

manner in which the knots were tied, the
sheeting parted and those vino were seek

strange land. She was the first born Of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 13-General
w. w. Belknap, secretary of war during
President Grants first term, was found
dead in his bed at 9 o'clock this morning.
1t is believed his death occurred between
o'clock Saturday night and o'clock Sum-
day morning. From John w. Cameron,
General Belknap's business associate, it is
learned that for some time it mas been the
generals habit to meet few friends at the
home of DR.. Hill, who lives less than
square away for social game of cards.
Saturday night he, with them, as usual, re-
manned until nearly midnight, when he re-
turned TO his apartments in the Pinevans
building at 1920 New York avnue, and pre-
sumably retired Immediately. He never
again was seen alive.
About S 80 this morning Cameron arrived
at the building and proceeded to the second
floor, where their offices and the gem
erals apartments are located. A servant
girl, who keeps the rooms, raped at the
door and inquired if General Belknap was
out of the city, saying she several times
since Sunday morning had tired the doors,
but found them locked The door was
| then forced open and the body found lying,
partially uncovered, on the bed. The left
arm was left rigidly toward the head, and
the left hand tightly clenched as though
death came while he was in convulsion,
and ne had the bedclothes somwhat disar-
ranged. A physician was summoned, and
after making brief examination he ex
pressed the opinion that death resulted
from a stroke of appoplexy. The
coroner soon afterward arrived and took
the body in charge An autopsy disclosed
the fact that the immediate cause of death
was Inflammation of the inner lining of the
heart, Mrs. Belknap, who was in New
York, was summoned by telegraph. Also
the generals son, Hugh, from Chicago.
! For some years Belknap has been con-
slant sufferer from govt. In February he
had so severe an attack that he hardly left
| his room for three months or more. Dur
ing that time he lost in flesh between
thirty and forty pounds. Since then he

of his long illness his business suffered
This worried him at times.

THE. GIFFARD GUN.
What its Inventor Says About Liquified Gas
and Revolutionizing Motive Power.


Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
LONDON, Oct. 12.-[By cable to the N. Y
Herald M. Giffard, the inventor of the
wonderful gun in which gas serves as
substitute for powder, is now in London.
Speaking of his invention he said: 1.-The
Giffard gun is the outcome of experiments
L have been making at the Paris gas COM
pany for nearly twenty years for the COM
preston of air and the iquifaction of gas.
The French government has bought the
rights for the rifle as weapon of war and
the Colts have bought the American rights
in the patents for e20D,000.
The rifle, of course, differs first and
foremost from nearly every other gun in
not requiring powder. Liquitied gas is one
OF the most powerful propulsives known.
One drop enters the breech of the gun
when the trigger is pulled and behind the
bullet develops force equal to 500 pounds
pressure to the square inch. BY turn of
the screw you can regulate the speed OF the
bullet, which leaves the barrel without
noise, smoke, smell, heat or recoil. There is
no danger of explosion and this substitute
for empower is much cheaper, from two
hundred and fifty to three hundred bullets
being fred off at a cost of penny Lioui-
fed gas will revolutonize all present
theories concerning steam and other motive
powers
