bish Satolli. In his letter Cardinal Ram
polla states that the articles wilt be sent
and in the name of the Pope introduces
Cardinal Sa.olli in the following letter;
.'in the meantime His Holiness, who has
so many reasons to entertain special regard
for the United States government, on ac-
count of the liberty which is enjoyed in the
said states by the Catholic church, and who
justly admires the enterprise and progress
of that country, has decided to be repre-
sented at the public demonstrations
which are to be held there in honor
of the Genoese hero on the fourth
centenary of his memorable discovery, by
person who is no less distinguished by his
personal qualities than by his grade in the
ecclesiastical hierarchy. This person is
Mgr Francesca Satolli, Archbishop of
Lepanto, prelate who is highly to be es-
teemcd on account of his virtues as for his
profound scholarship, of which he has given
many evidences in his writings

SECRETARY FOSTER
On tho Bearing Of Gilbert island Troubles 10
the United States.

WASHINGTON, oct. ip.--The San Fran
cisco dispatch rcciting The trouble expert
enced by American merchants on the Gil
bert Islands was shown to Secretary j. W.
Foster. The United Strtcs has II CONNER
cial agent on the island, but up TO the pres
ent time he has made no representation OF
this kind TO the Department of state.
The secretary says that early in the
present year the department received "A
communication from King Tebureimoa OF
the Gilbert islands praying that the United
States establish protectorate over the Is
lands. The King Mt that time was in San
Francisco. H''"a 1t%tg itphv'Af ~
The department did not act upon the ap-
plication, for the reason that II has been
the established policy of the United States
to decline to extend its territory by such
means. Such are the facts as officially
stated a, the department.
The Gilbert islands lie directly under the
equator, between 100 degree and 10 de
gree of east longitude. There are 10
groups of these islands, and each group has
its own King. The island upon which our
commercial agent dwclls. and where tie
troubles are sail To have arisen, il known
ns Pitt, or Butartari island, aud, together
with its small surrounding group, is gov
verned by King Tebureimoa.
Some years ago, while the Bri.isl, and
Germans were extending their colonies in
the Eat Indies, there was a controversy be-
tween them as TO the ownership of this par
ticul,r group. Finally il was arrf ngci that
Great Britain should acquire the Gilbert
| islands and that Germany should take the
| Marshall and the Caroline islands. In the
| latter ease, however, the government of
Spain successfully asserted a prior claim
| to the Carolines, which was confirmed
by the Pope, acting as mediator.
| The British pastorate over the
| Gilbert Island has in the case of the group
/ including Butaritari, been repeatedly re-
I pu1iatcd by the native ruler. who. as al
| ready stated has sought an American pro-
tcrtorate in preference.
! There are certain aspects of the case that
cause /, to resemble the Samoan contr0-
versy, which came near involving the
| United States and Germany in strife, and,
although the department of state has felt
Obliged to decline the request for pr"tec-
tora,c, il may be assumed that all legitimate
| Ameri an interests in the island viii be
fully protected.

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
Results Of Some Of the Tests Made Here and
Abroad.

NEW Yonk, oct l?.--The Pneumatic
Dynamite Gun Company, which two years
ago pushed so prominently to the Zalinski
dynamite gun, is now in active operation
under the title of the Pneumatic Torpedo
and Construction Company. The president
of the reorganized company is.William NJ.
Cramp. recently treasurer of the William
II. Cramp & Sons. shipbuilding establish
ment of Philadelphia. Mr.. 5. d. Schuyler
president of the former Pneumatic Dyna-
mite Gun Company, is vice-president of the
new company. The secretary and treasurer
is d. X. Wilmot.
The new company insists that ii will push
along the construction of dynamite guns
both for land and sea purposes. The fif
tecn-inch gun recently accepted by the
British government will be duplicated.
This gun was constructed on the plans of
Capt Rapleff, formerly of the Russian ar
tillery and now chief engineer of the Pneu
matte Torpedo and Construction Company.
The British guns is at present mounted
at Milford Haven, England. 1t was tried
exhaustvcly on the Shocburyness proving
grounds, and according to the reports of
the companys officers, it has thrown
an eight-inchl Isub-calibre projectle con
tanning the equivalent of 100 pounds
of high explosive to a distance of 5000
wards. gale of wind was blowing at the
time the shot was fred causing a dcyia-
ton at the end of the flight of I0G yards.
The weight of the projec,ile and its charge
was 400 pounds.
In test of the American built gun two
shots were fired over range of 2290 yards
with a result of I q yards deviation to the
left in the case of each shot. The second
shot plunged in the hole made by the first
shot. Pressures of 1000 pounds to the
square inch were employed in the firing. In
the case of the first shot there was loss of
1876 pounds pressure, and in the case of the
second shot a loss of 1872 pounds pressure.
1t was found that the maximum range of
the British gun. when using loinch pro-
jectles, was 1000 yards. The weight of the
l0-inch shell is 1913 pounds. The explosive
charge weighs in addition 2o3 pounds.
The maximum range of full-calibre l.1-
inch projectile was found to be 1929 yards.
The weight of this projectile is 91G pounds,
of which 800 pounds are taken up by the
explosive charge The range of 2229 yards
was obtained with the gun laid at an angle
of 25 degrees. The range obtained is de
clared to be the best on record.
The best penetratiye results which the
British have obtained with their new gun
was with IO-inch sub-calibre projectile
The shell pierced, at range of 600 yards,
q feet of beach sand and thickness of
one and one-half inches of pine boards.
The she'll, when recovered, was in almost
perfect condition. With an eight-inch pro-
jectile penetration of 10 feet of sand was
obtained.
