A protracted series of experiments
made at Siemens' works, in England,
with the new process of manufacturing
steel tubes. show conclusively, it is
claimed, a remarkable adaptation of the
system to the manufacture of pipes for
the conveyance of water, gas and air at
high pressure, the manufacture of steam
boilers, boiler tubes, and especially for
bridge construction, owing to the light
ness and strength of the tubes of com
paratively thin steel, and which, it is be-
lieved, will enable the engineer of the
future to considerably increase the span
of bridges.
The simple as well as remarkable pc
culiarity of this process of shaping
metals consists in the fact that, instead
of avoiding any twist of the fibers, it by
one operation gives the greatest possible
twist to the fiber with a corresponding
stretch of material. 1t moreover may,
assisted by a mandrel, increase the outer
diameter of a bar, instead of diminishing
it, as do all other rolling mills, but the,
tube produced by this new method is
generally greater in diameter than the
bar from which it is formed, and thus
combining, as it does, all the various
systems of rolling, it is claimed to pos.
sess the advantage of a construction in.
which all hitherto known rolling proc
esses represent q part. York SUN.

The gambling tents were large. and
contained not only gaming tables but
billiard tables At one of these was
once playing billiards with aman named
H. A few feet from us, raised upon
platform made for the purpose, were
seated three Mexican musicians, PLAYING
guitars; for these places were always
well supplied with instrumental music
The evening seldom passed without dis
putes, and pistols were quickly drawn to
settle quarrels Upon any outbreak men
would rush from all parts of the room
struggling to get as near as possible to
the scene of action, and often they paid
the penalty for their curiosity by being
accidentally shot.
While H and were engaged in
our game we could hear the monotonouS
appeal of the dealers, MAKE your game
gentlemen, make your game. Red win:
and black loses" Suddenly bang, bang.
bang went the pistols in a distant part
of the tent. The usual rush followed.
Bang, bang, again, and this time the
guitar dropped from the hands of one o.
the unoffending musicians, who fell for
ward to the ground with bullet through
his neck. His friends promptly under
took to carry him past us to the open
air. Our table was so near the side of
the tent that only one person at time
could go between it and the canvas.
H was standing in the way, jus.
in the act of striking the ball with his
cue, when one of the persons carrying
the wounded man touched him, with the
request that he move to one side. H.
turned, and saw the Mexican being sup
ported by the legs and arms, the blood
flowing from his neck. Then, with the
coolest Indifference, he said, Hold on,
hold on, boys. till make this shot"
Then, resuming his former position. he
deliberately finished his shot.-Dr. G. B

REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE KANSAS
CITY SUN I'm LIMBO.
DALLAS, June 9.-H. L. Strohm, at
torney for the Kansas City Sunday
Sun, who for the past week has been
in Dallas attending to the Suns legal
business is in Jail charged with PERU
nv. At the time of the Eugene john
son trial, Strohm testified in the wit
ness stand that the article appearing
in the Sun over Johnson's name was
written in Kansas City by Preston, the
editor of the Sun. and that he (Strohm)
saw him write it.
Later developments have come to
light which led to the belief that the
article was wired to the Sun from
Fort Worth. The grand jury took up
the matter and, on investigation, in
dicted Strohm, and late tonight he
was arrested and locked up. The
grand jury also indicted j. 9. Calhain,
the attorney who assisted Strohm in
the Johnson trial. .Calhain's indict-
ment was for circulating ibelous
patter and he, too, is in Jail. The

To Do Away with Exercise.

Too much dumbbell exercise is weari

the tedium of daily exercise while in

it is now placed at the service of the
public in practical form. A polished

of His Features

of His Features
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Among the first
visitors to the Sherman house yesterday
was the venerable Professor Kendrick, of
West Point, who was one of the generals
teachers at West Point. Gen. Fitz-John
Porter, Mrs. Walter Damrosch, Lawrence
Barrett, and 100 pupils of the West Point
school in uniform were also among the
callers. Besides these there were a large
number of citizens and soldiers who called
during the day to look for the last time
on the face of the dead warrior
Beautiful Floral Tributes.
Two beautiful floral pieces were re-
celved at the Sherman residence about
noon. One was from President Harrison
1t consisted of a large bed about three
feet wide by five long, of lilies of the val
ley with border around it composed of
roses. In the center was sabre made of
vlolets. The other piece was large pill
low of roses of various colors sent by Gen.
and Mrs. Swayne Messages of condo
lence and sympathy are continually ar
irving at the residence of the dead gen
eral from all parts of the country.
The Casket Finally Sealed
At O'Clock last evening the family and
others of the household assembled in the
parlor and took their final gaze at the face
OF their father, brother, friend. Then the
casket was sealed to be opened again only
to let the Rev Thomas Ewing Sherman
look upon his fathers features Father

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 19.-It is lust
about probable that the action taken by
che senate yesterday on the international
copyright bill may be the death of it. 1t
Is not all the bill which was constructed
by the Copy"ight association, and which
passed the house last December The bill
now goes into a committee of conference
burdened with amendments, two of
which are so subversive of the purpose of
the originators of the bill that they would
probably prefer the bill to fail altoget her
than to have it stand finally according TO
the senate version. Their entire energy
Will now probably be exerted tow,-rd
throwing the amendments out in the con-
ference committee or modifying them ma
terially, hoping that they may be able to
accomplish this, and that the senate may
accept the conference report and thus
ADOPT substantially the unamended bill in
the end.
Chances in Conference.
The Sherman-Power amendment is cal
culated to prevent the literary monopoly
sought by the publishers, while the FRYE
amendment extends the protection of the
proposed act to class of chrome manu-

ers are loath to be associated The senate
conferrees, Platt, Hiscock and Gray, are
all favorable to the bill, and, although
Hfscock voted for the photographers
amendment, and Gray foT the Sherman
amendment, it is understood that they
are indifferent to the fate of the amend
ments, and will be apt to act i'll accord
ance with the wishes of Platt and Lis
copyright clients. The house conferrees
Will probably prove to be of the same
general stripe. and so the situation has be-
come again rather favorable to tie friends
of the original measure.
The Most Important Changes.
The third section of the bill, in which
the most important changes have been
made, requires printed copy of the title
of the copyrighted book, map, ETC., to be
