Report of the Board to Examine
the Vesuvius' Guns.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Times
prints the report of the board appointed
by the navy department to examine the
guns of the VesuvIus, and the operation
of the gun mechanism. The conclusions
of the board are favorable to the
practicability of this method of warfare.
Among other conclusions of the board
are these: After an extended con-
sideration the board has decided
that, while the accuracy Of these
guns leaves a good deal to be desired,
it is still reasonably sufficient for the
purpose of naval warfare in compare
lively smooth water, the only condition
under which the board has been able to
carry on the tests. The value of the
guns is increased by the fact that the
projectile contains heavy charge of a
high explosive, and this explosive can
be safely discharged when the projectile
that contains it is armed with a full
inmate fuse. and, though the particular
fuse used in the trials has failed to per-
form the functions, it Is evident that it
can be safely fired from the guns.

NEW ORLEANS. March II. - Hall,
Mitchell, Abingdon and party have not
yet succeeded in getting out of the city.
Hall has been drinking heavily since
his defeat, and it is impossible to get him
away. He was out seeing the town this
evening and was hardly able to walk.
FitZsimmons has not received his purse,
but members of the club said this even
ing that he would receive it in good
time, and would lose nothing by wait
ing. Hall has been too much under the
weather to attempt to get another
match. Mitchell and his friends will
make another effort to leave the city to-
morrow morning. Fitzsimmons left for
Bay st. Louis tonight. He is very pop
ular with the people among whom he
has taken up his residence, and they
had prepared a reception and cele-
bratlon which only lacked Fitzsimmons
to break loose and illuminate the coast,
and so the champion was sent for. But
Masterton remained for several days i'll
order to escort the Mitchell party to
Denver, and this morning left i'll dis

Jack King has returned from DEBORAH
with blood in his eye. During his alb
sence il was asserted by Charley Moths
friends that he King had simply run
away because he knew that Moth was
about to return to st. Paul with view
to getting on another match with King.
Indeed, one must confess that there is
some color for this opinion, for Moth
issued a very strong challenge to King,
and King LETT ST. Paul without accept
ing or rejecting the challenge. That
was the reason that Moths friends
thought King was afraid Of another
meeting on the carpet.
IL
But King has returned, and he APP
pears to be honest in his declaration of
willingness TO meet the Gr8cO-Roman
champion again at catch-aS- catch-caD
style. Be that as it may, ii must be re-
membered that Moth has a forfeiture In
the hands Of DR.. Frank Powell, the
White Beaver, and this has not been
covered up to last evening. Still, King
announces that he will be in line IN a
day or two, and that all Moths money
will be covered.
~
Surely it will be great battle. The
last time they met they wTeStled draw,
but Moths proposition this time is to
go to finish, and the man that objects
to doing honest and legitimate work is
liable to lose the decision. Each man
has big following, and it will be no
surprise if the stakes run up into the
thousands.

No Foreigners In America.

For over century no foreign organ
lied forces for war have marched in New
York streets until the uniformed crews
Of all nations paraded on the 2sth of
April through the streets Of the metrop
oils, cheered at every step on their way
by adrniring thousands. 1t was o spec
tacle to bring tears to the eyes, and
makes one confident Of the coming Of the
golden age of fraternity. But the most
striking thing about this parade. as also
it was LIP the mustered crews ON ship
board the preceding day, was that the
crews to Us did not look like foreigners.
The simple reason Of this ives tibet there
was no nationality on display Of which
we hayenot abundant types In this coun-
try with which we. are perfectly famil-
lar. The tars who marched, whatever
their features or complexion, whatever
flag they carried, could find their own
kind among the admiring throng that
cheered them.
ftcould not have seemed to them Ike,
march In a foreign couptry-rather as
II they were coming home. They salut-
ed, TO DO sure, the American flag, they
were cheered by the American people,
yet under that flag are all the nations Of
the earth in the great republic. No new
people were created for our experiment.
Only new spirit, we hope, came into
the world, which Is strong enough to
transform all who come under its infu-
ence. Yes, it was splendid parade.
and 1t was peculiarly American, because
it included the world. To rs, we may
say. nothing is foreign-Charles Dudley

MIR. ROBERTS, Check Tor a Cent.

A few days ago story was published
of q check for 4 cents drawn on a New
York national bank and posted as q curl
osity in the Office of q heavy broker in
Wall street. T. P. Roberts Of this city
has draft which as curiosity out
ranks the cent check and is on par
with the famous Bank of England Hote
for u penny.
From 1885 to 1883 Mr.. Roberts was
postmaster at Hazen, N. D., and on Jan.
/, 1891, in settlement of his final account
with the authorities at Washington, he
received draft on the postmaster at
Chicago for cent and signed an impos-
ing formal receipt, which was sent back
to Washington. The draft was In the
usual form, and the paper on which 1t
was engraved must have been worth
nearly its face value. Check marks upon
it showed that 1t had passed through
many hands, and it bore the signatures
of those high in authority.
A careful computation shows that she
issuing Of that draft for 1 cent cost the
postofice department in time and wages
ut least $14. Mr.. Roberts has been Of
fered $50 for it as curiosity, but says
he won't part with 1t for several times
that sum. Some time after he got
the draft Mr.. Roberts received notifi-
cation from Washington that unless it
was presented within six months 1t
would not be paid without renewal, but
he never has been reduced to such fnan-
cial straits that he was compelled TO
have 1t cashed.

Board Swimmers of the Sandwich Islands.
One Of the most yenturesome sports
practiced by any people is the surf
board swimming Of the Sandwich Is
landa
Nearly every one has experienced the
delights Of surf bathing, with its exhu-
arating rush and battle with the tonic
waves. This pleasure is keenly enjoyed
by the Hawaiians. who pursue 1t with
singular abandon.
The surf board Is q plank Of light
wood 70 to IA feet long, with one end
rounded. The edges are also rounded,
but the other end of the board Is left
square. A piece Of cloth Is usually
bound around this end, perhaps for tho
support of the foot while swimming, OF
rather being projected like a cannon ball
by the wave.
a crowd Of natives will swim out
towing their boards, diving under and
dodging the heavy rollers coming in,
until they are quite distance from
land. Every third wave Is larger than,
the others, and on the broad back Of this
huge breaker the natives ride In IKE the
wind. Sometimes they stand erect on
the boards, but they usually crouch or
lie down. and keep balance with de1-
ferrous stroke OF the foot or hand or by
swaying the body. This sport is pot
without mishap, but the natives are such
"water dogs" that the accidents rarely
terminate fatally.
Captain Cook says that he saw with
horror one Of these surf boards dashed
into pieces but an instant after man
had quilted it. To be compelled to
leave the board and dive back under the
wave is considered very disgraceful, and
besides the oiled, polished and highly
valued board, which has required whole
tree trunk for its manufacture, Is lost
