COAST IEEENGES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A 41S-inch navy
protective deck plate was subjected Thurs
day TO the pounding of 12-inch mortar.
One shot of the mortar's 62S- pound pro-
jectile proved so effective as to cause all
further firing to be unnecessary The plate
used was OF cast steel, fabricated on the
same plans as the plates now in general
use aboard warships 1t was made at the
government ordnance shops at Bethlehem,
Pa. The first shot from the mortar was
fired at the upper right hand portion of
the target The projectile not only pierced,
but carried away at least ten square feet
of the plate In addition the plate was
fractured from the top to the bottom. The
projectile, after piercing the wood facing
and plate, ranged through the upper por-
tion of the earth embankment and fell
some 500 yards in the rear of the target.
The object of the test was to determine
the style of projectiles best adapted TO the
use OF the mortar. When this has been
determined contracts will be signed for
the delivery of a large consignment Of
shells.
The Sandy Hook defenses are now being
provided with powerful sunk mortar bat
teries. These n1ortarS. which are breech-
leaders, weigh something like twelve and
a quarter tons each. and measure 10 feet 9
inches in length. They are tested to with
stand heavy chamber pressure, and use,
when firing full service charges, some
ninety pounds of powder. Most accurate
work has been performed with these rifled
mortars. and ouc- the full battery de-
signed for Sandy Hook is in place the de
fenses of New York will be stronger than
at any time heretofore. With practice, the
mortar-gun crews should be able. under
ordinary conditions, 70 feel the deck OF any
ship attempting TO pass Sandy Hook. The
pieces will make GO attempt to penetrate

! WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Whether or not
the congressional junta has been recog
nized as the de facto government of Chill
cannot be officially learned at the depart
ment OF state, as the acting secretary re-

he has, as already predicted, been directed

If there has been any question as to the
proper treatment OF the refugees aboard

Children's day at the camp-meeting
of the Southern Methodist Episcopal
church at Camp Marvin was duly OBJ
served by the members of that denom-
ination in ST. Louis. Rev. Nj. B. Chap
man, of the st. Louis Christian Advo-
cate, preached an interesting sermon
in his usual interesting manner, from
Luke l., &c, "What manner of child
shall this be?" After few intro
ductory remarks to the orphans. who
sat in the front three rows, the divine
impressed upon them the fact that
they had much to learn and much
to forget. The story of Johns
baptism and numerous anecdotes,
with moral significance, were felicit-
ously narrated. Three great cautions
were urged-that little faults be over
come, that what is done at all be done
well, and that his hearers live now as
they want to be when older. DR.. Chap
man took exception to the theory by
which little children were denied the
privilege of being Christians on the
plea of youth. while they were set up
as samples of Christ's kingdom. In con-
clusion he addressed himself briefly to
parents. Mrs. Sleeth, of the Methodist
Orphans home, made short address
regarding the work In her report Mrs.
Sleeth showed that there were forty
five children in the home, the average
during the year being seventy. five.
The annual average expense of main
tanning the children was 500 apiece.
A lot was recently purchased and a
new SIS, 900 home is contemplated, S22,-
900 being already at hand.
