could be expected OF them. Mr.. Beatue hned each OF
the strikers quarter of days pay for quitting WORK

o Ihe Eultor Of Tho Trlbunc
sir; In your Issue of April appears a report
OF the remarks Of the Director Of the Mint referring
to the proposed new designs for United States coins
lie says: The motto In God We Trust will be pre-
served on the coins. II is now upon all the large
coins Untll 1854 no religious motto ever appeared
upon our coins" In the interest OF religion strong
effort should be made to prevent the Government
officials from thus patronzlng the Deity. All
monarchlcal Governments have had "By the Grace
of God" and similar legends on their coins. The
more cruel and feroclouS the despotism, the more
the Deity is claimed and complimented by them.
But republics do not find this action advisable. In
this country there Is danger that the legend has

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY

IN commercial aud manufacturing circles to-day by the
announcement that the great tobacco factories OF the
Marburg Brothers and &. W. Gail d Xxx, of this city,
had been bought by the American Tobacco Company
of Ncw-York and that the deal provided that all the
interests for tho manufacture Of smoking tobacco
controlled by the American Company should be con-
centratcd in Baltimore. This means that the Two
factories here instead Of employing from 500 10 1OOO
hands each will furnish work to more than twice that
number of people, aud that the annual output will be
increased from 1OOO0OOO to 30,0O0,000 pounds OF
manufactured tobacco. Theodore Marburg says the
terms of the sale are two-ffts in cash and the rest
in the common stock Of the American Company
The firm names OF the two concerns will hereafter be
known as the Gail d AK branch and the Marburg
Brothers branch Of the American Tobacco Company
Mr. Marburg further stated that the output of the
company would be 80 per cent OF the total In the
United states.
The company is a common-stock company, organized
under the laws Of New-Jersey. 1t is the intention
of the company to concentrate in Baltimore the manu-
tacture of all smoking tobacco. The American To-

TO TEST THE VESCTIUS AGAIN.
DYNAMITE TO BE USED IN HER GUNS THIS
TIME.

Cs'4~D @%'
TINE.
The dynamite cruising vessel Vesuvus now at the
Navy Yard is ready for the practical tests Of the
efficiency of the dynamite guns and is awaiting final
orders 10 proceed 10 Chesapeake Bay, where the tests
will be made 1t is a fact that the guns have never
been tested with nnroglycerine or dynamite since
they were put the vessel but In the last test Oh te
socalcd dynamite guns on the vessel guncotton was
used II has been a question ever since the vessel
was first talked OF whether she would fulfil the condi
tions given her official register as dynamite cruiser
and 1t reported two years ago that she was hou
likely to be tested with any other sort Of explosive
than gun-cotton the bursting charges OF her shells
For that reason many officers always spoke OF her
as gun cotton boat instead of a dynamite cruiser
It will be remembered that Secretary Tracy was
severely scored by people, who represented that
he refused 10 accept the vessel from partisan Jealousy
alone a few months after he became head OF the
Navy Department The fact is that the vessel was ac
cepted 10y Secretary Whitney Just before he went out
of office, but at that time her armament had not been
put board and she had been accepted her tests
for speed and horsepower only. The contract stlpu
lated that the vessel was to be armed with 10-nch
guns which would project JOO-pOund dynamite bomb
one mile, with accuracy, with 200 pounds pressure
change made to guns of 15inch calbre, and the
trials were had with these. Secretary Tracy simply
wished to be satisfied that the change from 1O-inch
guns 10 15inch guns was not made because the 10
inch guns would not fulfil the terms Of the contract
a< that the lj-inch guns would not impair the eff
ciency o. the vessel
The act Of Congress of March . 1882 days prior
to the end Of tlc Cleveland Administration, provided
for the building of second dynamite cruiser but the
act stipulated that the construction OF the new
vessel should be made only after the Secretary Of the
Navy shall be satisfied after official tests made with
the Nesuvus and her guns, 10 the efficiency Of the
armament Of that vcsse' In the first trial the becch
Of Of the dynamite guns completely blown
out and all Of the other experiments have fallen
LeOw expectations The Secretary is anxious 10 de
ermne by further tests whether he would be warranted
in eXpending S4500O0 for another vessel OF the We

will be made toward having another such vessel built
