 A Chicago Man Radly Burned By the
 Franks of a Fellow Boarder.
 CHICAGO, Dec 26.-Chares Fields is in the hospital here horribly burned about the legs and lower part of the body.
 He is the victim of practical joke
 Fields had gone to sleep on sofa clad in uniform not exactly fitted for street wear. Under tn table was a pan con. taining several lamps of tar.
 Thomas Files, funny man, who boards in the same house with Fields, came into the room and conceived the idea of tar. ring the legs of Fields.
 He melted the tar and deftly smearcd it on.
 Then he awoke Fields and waited tt hear him say "ha ha," but he was sadly disappointed.
 An acrimonious debate ensued and then Files was invited to get the tar off ol something would happen to him.
 He rubbed Fields legs with kerosen, to loosen the tar and after scraping awhile, brought lighted lamp to survey the progress made.
 He put the lamp too close to the leg and an explosion followed.
 Fields danced around the room like madman.
 Files, after gazing at the blazing con tortionist for a few seconds fled to the outer air.
 Other boarders in the house put out tht fire, but not until Fields was frightfully though not fatally, burned.
 The tar is off, but most of Fields hid, went with it.

ONE of the most satisfactory reports from over the sea, last week, was the statement that the IrishInational funds, that have so long been locked up in Paris, owing to the discord among the leaders in Ireland, would now be re- leased through an understanding that had been arrived at in an amicable settlement between the parties at issue. If the main quarrel could now be ad- justed in the same way it would be the best Christmas gift that could be found in Erin's stocking. The hope that the day of this national harmony is about to dawn with the New Year, takes on additional vigor and life.

SENATOR HILL is a member of the senate committee on immigration, and he does. not agree with the ideas of the majority of that committee as to the legislation necessary. He will soon after the reassembling of congress pre- sent his views in the shape of a minority report, and will either introduce new bill or offer an amendment to the Chandler bill, providing for one years suspension of immigration, when. that measure is taken up by the senate. The joint house and senate immigra- tion committee has one. subcommittee now on it's way to Cuba and another consulting with treasury officials, both after information, to be made use of when the immigration bills. are taken up by congress. The house and senate committees are working harmoniously his matter and, so far, politics have been kept out of it. The only question with members of all parties being, what is the best thing to do?

IN one of his caustic satires Byron severely scored those who, having little brains or ability, were ever ready to "back their opinion with a wager" Mir Foster, President Harrison's secretary of the treasury, according to the press re- ports, fell into this mistake, recently, when the outflow of gold from this country threatened the treasury with serious depletion, and he offered to "bet" that he could maintain the treasury intact without a resort to di- rect taxation or special bonds. It is the prevailing opinion, in financial circles, that the treasury "reserve" is intact only on paper, and that silver has been substituted for gold to a considerable extent, to avoid an actual deficit. But the truth of that matter cannot be as certained till the fourth of March, 1893, after which date "bets' will not count.

TRIAL OF THE VEsUVIUS.
The Dynamite Cruiser and Her Guns t
 be Severely Tested.

be Severely Tested.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Not quite ap propriate to the season of ''peace and good will," the Navy Department give' out statement that it has mapped out most exhaustive programme for the tria: of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and hel guns.
 It is the desire of the department to de. termine once for all just what may be ex- pected of this craft in time of need.
 Shots will be fired at moving and sta tionary targets and with the vessel her self moving at varying degrees of speed
 The most interesting feature of the trial will be the six shots, each loaded with 800 pounds of high explosives, fired at moving target, consisting of con demned hulk
 This, it is supposed, will give practical illustration of the ability of the Vesuvius to carry out the purpose for which it was built, viz, to sink the ship of an enemy al the distance of mile.
 Eighty-four shots in all will be fired, siXty-siX blanks and thirteen loaded with emmensite and gun cotton.
 EmmeGsite is supposed to be the high explosive of the future. The success which has attended experiments with this explosive has prompted the naval ord, nance bureau to construct specially g seven-inch rapid fire gun for further ex. perimentS.
 The expectation is that with the appli, cation of the rapid-fire type o1 brcech-mechanism, now used the five and siX-inch rapid-fire guns, to this new weapon it will be entirely safe and practicable to fire four or five rounds per minute with shells loaded with from 50 to 60 pounds of emmensite. It is expected, too, that with smokeless powder as the propelling force, the shells fired from this weapon will be given 8 velocity of ,, 300 per second, thus afford ing the highest degree of penetration eX. pected of unloaded shells fired from high powered guns.
 If these shells burst detonatively at will, as claimed, few minutes fire at the rapid rate estimated would mean destruction to any unarmored ship or any armored craft whose vitals are not covered by more than six inches o1 steel.
 The new gun will be % calibres long, or just half the length of the latest type of 6-inch guns built by the naval ord nance bureau.
 Nickel steel will be used, and its con- strucuon will be practically the same as that proposed for the new S-inch weapon | of special design, which is to be assem- l bled by means proposed by William | Sellers of Philadelphia. It will have only | three principal parts, a tube, inner and all outer jacket. The high explosive shells will be put uE | in metallic cases in the same manner as the fixed ammunition used in all rapid fire guns
