HIGH POWER GUNS.
The Preliminary Report of the Board on Gun
Factories Laid Before the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE preliminary
report OF the board on gun factories, ETC.,
was sent to the Senate today by the secre-
tary Of war. In his letter accompanying
the report, Secretary Proctor states it may
be advisable to establish, at no distant day,
a gun factory at some point on the Pacific
coast, of sufficient capacity to supply guns
required for the armament of that coast
Secretary Proctor further says it appears
from the report that there is as yet no
plant ready on the Pacific coast equal to
the manufacture of large gun forgings, but
capital seems ready to take hold and already
mas begun to locate itself with this object
IL view at more than one point The com
mission appointed by the President con-
sisted of three officers of the army. and
they were directed to inquire into the facil-
tues Tor producing steel forgings for high
power guns on the Pacific coast and in the
vicinity of Indianapolis arsenal, Rock Isl
and arsenal and some point near the gulf
coast, and the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting gun
factories for the assembling of guns for
fortifcation purposes.
Regarding the Watervliet factory the
report states it is believed that the limit of
Its present capacity is reached, and the
tILle required 10 complete armament either
with existing facilities or with those that
would be added by the completion of the
Watervliet factory, is too long. a factory
should be located on the Pacific coast, to
furnish the guns required for its defense,
| out the board does not consider it advis-
able at this time to recommend the erection
OF third factory at Rock Island arsenal,
at indianapolis, or on or near the gulf
coast. The board estimates that it will
take S349,O00 to establish plant on the
Pacific coast for the manufacture OF high
power guns and for machinery and tools
$780, making a total of S4S4, 200.

and 0'Connor to Mccarthy.

Dublin. Dec. 17-Parnell has issued a
strong appeal to the hillside men, calling on
them not to submit to English dictation.
he says, in part; "Wil you give up your
chief to the Saxon wolves, or will you rally
around him as your fathers did around the
men OF '9S and shout No surrender! Hurrah
for Parnell leader of the independent Irish
party. Gather, men of the hillsides, at St.
Johns well, on Sunday, around your chief,
and hurl defiance at his enemies, and the
enemies of your race
Parnell was interviewed to-day with re
gard to the charges referring to the fund of
100000 raised several years ago for his
benefit. He said he spent it among
the workmen of Wicklow, giving
200 hundred men employment in the mines
and quarries, which is likely to prove per
manent, for ne has heard that the search
for the great lode of magnetic iron has
proved successful. He referred to this de-
velopment and industry and the possible
development of coal and iron fields in other
districts, which would give Ireland great
industrial future

Condition of Parnell,s Ewes.

DUBLIN, Dec. Though Parnen suf-
fered intense pain from the effects of the
lime thrown in his eyes yesterday, he was
able at midnight to address from the win
dow of the Victoria hotel at Kilkenny, a
large crowd. During his address his face
was covered with bandages. He detailed
the events of the day and the crowd became
eXasperated at the manner in which he
had been treated. Many threats of ven
geance were made.
This morning Parnell's breakfast was
served to him in bed. A close examination
of his eyes revealed the fact that his sight
was not injured. The surgeon declares,
however, Inflammation may set IN. He or
dered Parnell to keep his eyes closed and
that hot water foments be constantly APP
Piled. 1t is not likely he viii be allowed to
leave his room to-day.
1t was announced this afternoon that the
surgeon attending Parnell fears the tniu-
ries TO his eyes may result in serious con-
sequences. He has given orders that for
the present his patient shall remain in
doors.
Hennessy has expressed to the committee
having the campaign of his opponent Vim
cent SculIy, in charge, his regret for the
attack made upon Parnell yesterday.

STORMS In THE EAST.
They Are Both General and Heavy and Cause
Much Damage.

PITTsBURG, Dec. Photograph, tele-
phone and electric light wires are down
and business i. practically suspended. On
the railroads no freight trains were run
ming and the passenger trains that strug-
gled through were late from one to six
hours. The pecuniary loss resulting from
the storm cannot now be estimated but it
will necessarily be very large. This city
being almost the storm center has suffered
most severely. The monetary dam
age is very great. All branches of
railroads and street car lines which have
practically suspended, has paralyzed bust
ness and causlnga total stoppage OF opera
tons in the oil and stock exchange.
Through the breaking of electric light
wires horses have been killed, two drivers
knocked unconscious and street car filled
with frightened passengers set ablaZe in a
moment. The police switch boards and
! telephones have been burned out and as a
result outlying police districts are isolated.
Millions of tons of coal are lying in the
backWater away from dams and should a
rapid thaw ensue the greatest damage
will be along the rivers. Reports
from the country districts show
even greater damage owing to lack
the facilities of transportation. At Bed
ford, Pa, two feet of stow are reDrted
ti~ith a complete blockade of the lumber
| houses along the Blue and Laurel ridge
mountains. West Virginia, and Eastern
| Ohio have suffered greatly and the siuua
ton is gowing worse. A sudden flood is
the greatest clamity now feared. At II
O'Clock to night show was still falling and
has nearly reached two feet. A few roofs
have been crushed in by wight of snow.

The chairman read telegram from Pat
rick Egan giving instructions for the
transfer OF his shares of United Ireland
stock to Mccarthy. Mccarthy in an adj
dress declared that if the Irish party
wanted authority or sanction for what they

assembled gave IL TO them After such a
meeting they would be entitled to speak in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE morning hour
having expired without anything of i'm
portance being done, the Senate resumed
consideration Of the election bill. Dolph re :
sumed his speech Of yesterday upon the
subject
Dolph held 1t to be the duty of Congress
with malice toward none, and with CHAR
lily for ALI TO exercise 30 the fullest ex-
tent its powers under the Constitution to
ecure to every citizen OF the United
States, native or foreign born, white or
olack, rich or poor, the free exercise of all
his rights under the constitution
Eustis said hewoulG put tue question to
the Senator from Oregon and would ask d
frank answer. The question was if the
Immigration of Chinese had not been pro
hlolted, II there we're million and d half
of Cinnamon il Oregon VINO mad the right
OF suffrage and who established IN Oregon
Chinese state government, and if the
people Of Oregon HAD overthrown that
! Chinese government anu re-established
white political supremacy, would he
/ (Dolph) in sucb case advocate the passage
OF law by Congress the intent and effect
OF which would be to encourage, stimulate
and sustain those Cinnamon in their effort
to revive political power on race lines?
| Dolph said that was precisely the argu-
ment made en- the Democratic side OF the
I chamber.
Eustis-Will the Senator answer my
question!
/ Delphi am not going to be interrupted
| Eustis-But | request the Senator from
| Oregon to answer my question.
! Dolph-I VIII answer it in my own time,
! but will not stand to be catechised. | sim
1 ply tell the Senator from Louisiana that
/ the proposition is preposterous. The Chi
/ nese do not ask to become citizens Of the
United States. But l will tell the Senator
! from Louisiana that the people of Oregon
will never raise hand against the govern
ment of the United States They will
never fight against the flag of their coun-
try.
Eustis persisted in his efforts to have his
question answered more directly, but with
out success.
1 Then Morgan took the floor He quoted
the clause from the constitution OF Oregon
restricting the suffrage to white citizens,
and a section from the statutes OF that
state prohibiting the inter-marriage OF
whites and negroes, Indians or Chinese
and closed with an exclamation against
such hypocrisy.
After arguments against the bill by
Kenna, Reagan aud Butler, Coke obtained
the floor and the Senate adjourned

loans recently have been called heavily
and the drain on the house apparently
reached the limit to-day. Another factor
was the circumstance that the demand for
securities of comparatively newly settled
districts, such as were largely dealt in by
hean q Co., had been of to considerable
extent. Deposits in the institution aggre-
gated between 5000, 900 and S70000
Wide celebrity was given the house
some years ago by the extraordinary inter
ests following the defalcation of its cashier,
Kerr, who was traced to and brought back
from Peru, and after long legal fight in
carcerated in Joliet.
A number of Chicago bankers had a
meeting tonight after Kean decided to
close his doors and discussed the local
financial situation. No alarm was felt, as
the banks had been getting ready for any
danger of this kind, and public confidence
was being restored in the financial institu-
lions of the country. A temporary furry,
1t was thought, might be created in local
speculative circles, but no severe result
would follow. The gentlemen present
spoke confidently of Chicago's banks pulling
through without embarrassment.

Of a conspiracy of which Alexander Lod
hunter is at the head. Lodhunter is sup
posed to be an English detective and falling
to get Hammond on British soil, worked up
this case against him, charging him with
stealing seal skin sacque from woman.
Hammond asserts there is large amount
of money at his disposal in different banks,
placed there as hush money by wealthy
Engllshmen. He says they are trying to
prevent him returning to England. He ex-
poets to get new trial and in the event of
his acquittal will return to London. He
steadfastly refuses to make known the
names of the Englishmen.
