The financial and industrial situation
is gloomy enough; no pessimist need try
to exaggerate it with apprehensions Of
something worse We have had the
worst The crisis has passed We have
experienced the effect Of borrowing gold
to buy useless silver That cannot
happen again, except to limited extent.
We may rest assured that neither Cleve.
land nor Carlisle is willing to buy an
ounce Of silver or borrow dollar In
gold that is not absolutely neces-
sary. There is still another safe
guard in the frct that Cleveland,
with that sturdy composure, un-
failing and courageous good sense,
which are his chief characteristics, will
not hesitate TO veto any bill which may
come Co him which proposes a oompro
mise with this money-devil of the West
silver bullion The situation cannot
become any worse. The remedy may be
postponed, but as the crisis has been
passed and as We have the assurance Of
perfect faith in the intelligence and
courage Of Carlisle. the Treasurer, and
Cleveland, the President, there is no
cause for fear There is less cause for
gloomy forebodings. The industrial situa
tion is constantly improving Factories are
starting again everywhere Miners and
mill,rs are rtsuming work and the
army Of idle men is everywhere de-
creasing. The financial situation can
not grow any worse because the sll
verites-the men who would wreck
our currency fabric TO keep up the
price of silver bullion-are losing in
flu ence every day.

New York harbor viii shortly be
guarded by battery Of dynamite guns,
now being placed in position at Sandy
Hook. These guns, three in number,
two 10 inch caliber and one inch, were
provided for by the recent congress.
Work on the foundations for the guns
has been going on for several weeks, and
Mr.. $. d. Schuyler vice president Of the
Pneumatic Torpedo and Construction
company, said that at least one Of the
guns viii be ready for testing within a
few weeks.
The test. which win be made merely
to ascertain if his gun is perfect and not
for range or accuracy, will be made un-
der the supervision of Captain Gordon,
y. s. A, the resident inspector at the
West Point foundry at Cold Springs,
where the guns were built, and Captain
John Rapieif, the chief engineer of Mr..
Schuyler's company. The 10 inch guns
will be 90 feet long. They can drop 80
pounds Of dynamite nearly four miles
away, or 500 pounds for considerably
over mile. As the channel for deep
water vessels extends only about a mile
from Sandy Hook, warships entering
the harbor would be exposed to the heav-
lest charges fired by these guns. At all
ranges the guns can place 70 per cent of
their projectiles within a rectangle 80
feet wide by 300 long, about the target
usually presented by vessel.
The full caliber shell or projectile will
weigh 1000 pounds, theexplosive charge
weighing 500 pounds. The 10 inch guns,
when under firing pressure of 1000
pounds per square inch, can throw at
least 20 of these projectiles, carrying al
together 10000 pounds of dynamite a
distance of one mile i'll half an hour.
The exact range of the 10 inch gun at 30
degrees elevation with the large pro
jectile is 2,4O0 yards; with the 10 inch
subcaliber projectile, weighing SOC
pounds it is 4, 400 yards; with the inch
subcaliber projectile, weighing BAG
pounds, the range is 5000 yards, and
with a inch subcaliber projectile
weighing 24O pounds, the range is 1000
yards.-New York Press.

The Figaro devotes long article to
the voyage of NJ. Max Lebaudys yacht,
the Semiramis, which, as many win re-

scientific mission in the Malay archipel-

The idea Of the voyage was conceived
by Nine. Jules Lebaudy, who, alarmed
at her sons expenditure and anxious to
remove him from surroundings which
she considered dangerous, hoped to coax
him into a long absence from France
and thus avoid the unpleasant necessity
Of doing what she has since done-pro-
viding him with a conseil judiciaire.
The Semiramis. which is a fine vessel
Of zoo tons burden, was fitted mp with
every possible comfort, and in order to
provide NJ. Lebaudy with interesting
employment his mother arranged with
the government for the appointment of
anethnographical mission under NJ. Louis
Lapicque, who was to accompany the
prodigal.
When the day Of the departure came,
however NJ. Lebaudy positively refused
TO go. lie would not leave his beloved
Paris. but Nine. Lebaudy, who consid-
cred herself pledged to the minister OF
public instruction, sent the yacht of

HILL sILENcEs MORGAN.


In the general controversy in the

change the rules, so that the majority
could have a chance, Senator Hill bore
himself Rdmii ably, and accomplished the
difficult feat of putting down Senator
Morgan It is true Senator Morgan gave
the opportunity, by showing both i'll
temper ard demagogy. Senator Hill,
however, does not deserve any less
praise because he took the opportunity.

Senator Gray came into the debate t.
oppose Senator Hills proposition because
he preferred, as he said, TO proceed in an
"orierly manner TO accomplish parlia-
mentary results Senator Hill then
took the floor to appear in an entirely
different role from that In which he has
too often appeared to the public.
Senator Hin said that he had not ex
pected to convince the Senators from
Alabama and Delaware They were not
willing TO bow TO the unanimous decision
of the Supreme Court on the question.
His own view Of the case was that it was
the duty OF the Senate TO give such q
construction to the rules as would not
make the Senate absurd, and as would
facilitate public business.
