A NAVAL BANGtR.
Arrival of . Big Gun for the Cruiser
Monterey at san Francisco.

Early tomorrow morning the mon
ster 12-inch rifle, made in the United
States Ordnance Departments at Wash
ington for the coast-defense cruiser
Monterey, will arrive in this city af
ter trapscoutinental journey of nine
days and a half.
1t was almost within hailing dist
ance OF the city at o. clock last night,
when it arrived in Oakland, and but
for its enormous weight it could have
been at once transported across the
bay to its final destination, thus les.
sening the time of transit nearly
day and half. The modest engine
of war, however, weighs slightly
more than fifty tons, and the aprons
leading to and from the transfer
steamer are not constructed for any
such tremendous traffic; hence the
great bangor had to continue its
journey down the other side of the
bay to San Jose and return on this
side. 1t will probably be removed
TO the Union Iron Works without de-
lay.
Considerable more than ordinary
interest attaches to this monster en-
gine of destruction. 1t is the first
large gun manufactured at the navy
yard in Washington, and the result of
the work has been watched with keen
interest by naval engineers of not
only this but other countries. 1t is
said that they are all perfectly salts
fed with what has been achieved, as
it demonstrates beyond doubt the
ability of this nation to meet any
emergency in naval warfare. The
gun is breech-loading rifle, 36.S
feet in length and about five feet at
its largest diameter. Its actual
weight is 1900 pounds. The
length of the chamber is "a inches
and the diameter is l4.5 inches, all
of which gives a chamber capacity
of 4S,S79 cubic inches. The service
charge is 43O pounds of brown pow
der, with projectile weighing S6O
pounds. The estimated velocity OF
the projectile is l941 feet per second
and muzzle energy of 22,460-foot
tons. The cost of the gun was
about $4,000.
Betsy" as the trainmen have
dubbed the big thing, will occupy
one of the spaces in the forward tur-
ret of the Monterey, and its com.
panon piece, twin in all respects,
will fill the remaining space. Be.
sides these two large 12-inch guns,
the cruiser is to have two more OF
like pattern and make, only of 10,
inch caliber, and they will occupy q
Lurret in the rear rs. F. Call, Jan.

GOING TOO FAR.

1t is saying too much to attribute
the failure of the Union Iron Works,
with it's serious effects on local indus
try, to the Mckinley Act without
abetting causes. Had free sugar
never have been enacted in the Unit
ed States, it would have been a most
remarkable achievement to carry on
such extensive works, after the com
pletion of the Eva mill plant, at any
thing like their full capacity. Most
of the established mills were very
well equipped; other new ones than
the Eva had their plants contracted
for, either at home or abroad, and it
might have been possible, under
these circumstances, to have the lar
gest sugar crop ever marketed put
through without making more work
than one iron-working establishment
could easily handle.
The importation of such huge
and extensive plant as that of the
Union Iron Works, without a dead
certainty ofkeeping it in constant en-
ployment from one year to another,
was a very brave undertaking for
the enterprising projectors. 1t is
great pity that their pluck has not
been able TO avert collapse, but it is
doing the credit of the country harm
to have it proclaimed, without quail
fication or giving all the facts, that
their failure is due to the Mckinley
Act. Already there is evidence that
this loose manner of talking at home
is injuring our interests abroad.
Merchants and others in California
having dealings with the islands
make reference in their correspon-
dence to "the hopeless business
depression in Honolulu" A con-
traction in business has doubtless
begun, although retailers have done
a good holiday trade, but there is no
sense in aggrayating the situation by
encouraging exaggerated reports of
il abroad. &,

AFTER AN AUSTRALIAN.
A Loud Detective Looking for an
AbscOnder.

Among those who arrived yester-
day on the steamer Alameda was
James johnson, Sydney detective.
He is in search of a criminal, and he
did not hesitate to tell every one he
met the object Of his mission.
Some time since the police of this
city were informed that one Henry
Mcdowell Eagan was wanted in
Australia for the theft of some $4,000.
The suppositlon was that he had
come to this country, and for that
reason a detective of the San Fran
cisco Police Department has been
present at the landing Of passengers
on the last two vessels from the colo
MES.
For fear that he might stop over
in Honolulu and come up in one Of
the Hawaiian steamers, the passen-
gers on those vessels have also been
shadowed, and the detectives have
been awaiting anxiously the landing
of the quarantined passengers on the
Rio de Janeiro, as that vessel also
stopped at Honolulu. So far, how
ever, Eagan has not put in an ap-
pearance in this city.
Eagan was the administrator of an
estate in the colonies, one of his rela-
tives having died and left a small
fortune. The other members of the
family, believing implicitly in him,
allowed him TO settle up the estate
and never dreamed that anything was
wrong until they missed him from
his usual haunts for some few days.
Then they began search for him,
only to learn that he had levanted
with $4,000 that did not belong to
him The San Francisco police kept
the matter quiet while they looked
for him, but the arrival of Detective
Johnson upset all further need of
secrecy. Should Eagan be in America
he will doubtless take warning from
Johnson's loud talk.-San Francisco
Call.

The Advertiser subdivides the COM
ing Legislature into five different
leaves" 1t evidently does not wish
to get lost to the flock with which it
has fed. Mr.. Thurston will have to
write letter to the Advertiser ask
ing it also to attend the funeral
of the dead Past. The classification
of the morning paper is ridiculous,
once where it makes nearly every
non-Liberal on the other islands IRE
form," and again when it makes up
National Reform contingent mot
elected by National Reform votes.'
The Liberals, according to their or
gan Ka Leo), are counting on the
disjointed situation of their oppo-
nents, which Mr.. Thurston wishes to
obiterate but which the Advertiser
would emphasize and perpetuate.

Ka Leo this morning indicates a
better frame of mind on the part Of
the Liberals than that it exposed in
the early shock of defeat. 1t did
look ridiculous bowling about the
alien vote, when half of its cham
pion Ashford's campaign was de-
fense of the alien suffrage. Ka Leo's
main feature to-day is its advising
the Liberals to hold together, so that
by taking advantage of divisions in
the opposite party odious measures
may be defeated. This is their legi-
innate and even laudable function.

The secret ballot did not work a
bit worse than was expected for the
first trial. A great many votes were
lost in the aggregate by ignorant and
careless marking, although probably
results would not have been much
different otherwise. The residue at
all events was an intelligent ballot,
fulfilling to great extent the object
of an educational franchise. 1t
would indeed be hasty legislation to
repeal those provisions of the law
which give secrecy to the ballot, on
account of even the extensive blund-
ering that seems to have been made
with this powerful instrument of
genuinely ly popular government. Many
who failed to vote as they intended
at this election, owing to the novelty
of the process and effectiveness in
facilities provided, will have ample
time before next general election to
properly instruct themselves. There
is room for amendment in the elec-
ton law, but the secret ballot princi-
pie should be preserved.

CHICAGO, July Dispatches from
Ottawa say that the notorious smuggler
and bandit Bochard stands veey fair
chance of falling into the clutches of the
customs authorities. A portion of his
contraband cargo has been captured,
and a Gordon of swift cruisers is closing
in upon his retreat. Capt. Gordon, of
the royal navy, who has had charge of
the recent movements of the cruisers,
received q dispatch last evening from
the Gulf, which mast put him in very
good humor. 1t was from Commander
Wakem, of the cruiser La Canadienne,
and was sent from Mingan on the north
shore OF the Gulf of st. Lawrence. 1t
stated that the cruiser had been success
full in capturing the schooner Willie, of
Quebec, Captain Bruin, with large
quantity of contraband goods on board.
These the skipper acknowledged he had
received from the notorious Bochard
after he had escaped from Constance in
his schooner, which turns out to be the
Busy Bee, of Quebec. Commander
Wakem received further information
from the crew of the captured schooner.
which will greatly assist the authorities
in chasing Bochard into close quarters.
The Constance is due to arrive at
Rimouski to report fer orders These,
will direct her commander to disenlbark
the artillerymen, who will return to
| Quebec and take on q further supply of
arms and ammunition. The three
cruisers, the La Canadienne, Constance
and Acadia, will continue to cruise

prospects are that Bochard and the rest
of the contraband cargo, which he made
such bold show of defending, will soon
