TIE TRIALS.
Fuses for the Loaded shells Arrive-fheir
Mechanism = secret.

Fuses for tile Loaded sheiis A~rrive-1heir
Mechanism = secret.
PoRr ROYAL, s c., Feb THE fuses
for the loaded shells to be fired by the
Vesuvius this week arrived from the
American Gun Co. Sunday, and are nov
in the Port Royal express Office. As
Capt Rapieff, the inventor Of the fuses,
has not yet secured a patent on them,
it Is difficult to obtain an ineligible
description Of their mechanism. The
fuse is contained in a movable case,
which may be kept free from the shell
until the latter is ready for firing.
The case contains illuminate Of mer-
curry. with appliances for decorating II.
and next to II Is placed a layer Of dry
gun cotton TO act as n primer TO q
charge OF wet gun cotton. The fuse
has a duplex action, and may be ex-
ploded either by impact or by . powder
train. Eight percussion caps, each
with It's own plunger. are arranged
around the fuse. The plungcrs are
withheld by springs, and. while quiet
are separated from the caps by metal
plates, Immediately after firing the
metal plates become free and slide from
between the plunger and the caps.
Upon impact the plungers are driven
against the caps and an explosion Is
produced. In the second case q ball,
held in place by q strong spring, Is set
in motion when the shell strikes the
water, and its forward fight ignites a
time train, which explodes tho shell
after il has passed fifty yards under
water. The firing Of dummy shells.
six Of which remain, will be resumed
Tuesday, and later In the day the Vesu-
wins will drop down the river. and pre-
pare herself for moving trials.

Ium and emand Heavy Damages.
SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. miss Anna E.
Dickinson, lecturer and actress, has
brought three suits In the circuit court
of the United States, directed against
eight persons, two Of whom are physi-
clans, asking damages in the aggregate
sum Of Si25, 900. These suits are direct
ed against the persons who were instru-
mental in lodging her in Danviile asy-
lum for the insane. In February. 1891.

she suffered mental and physical agony;
was subject to indignities and pain from
wounds and from exposure, and for FIVE

THE SILVERLAW
Little Hope for Its Repeal Dur

Even il II Should Go Through the
House B fore March 4
u Y Likely 10 Fafl In the s~cnate-That 4 the
Opinion OF Congressman wiison-He
and Don N. Dicktason Recently Pay
y visit to the Presidsat Elect.

LAKEwoop, n. j.. Feb 7.-Congress-
man w. L Wilson. of West Virginia,
VINO came from Washington Saturday
TO consult with Mr.. Cleveland presuma-
bly, on the prospect of the repeal OF the
Sherman silver purchase act at this ses-
sion Of congress- spent Saturday even
ing with Mr.. Cleveland and Don M.
Dickinson at the Cleveland cottage,
and had another long talk with the
president-elect Sunday. Mr.. Wilson.
when asked this evening what were
the prospects 81 a silver bill passing
both houses Of congress before the end
of the present session, said:
"The chance of a bin passing the
house depends largely on the committee
on rules. They are to report a resolu-
ton on Thursday. If the resolution
merely calls up the silver bill for dis
cussion nothing will be accomplished,
as but twcnty-four working days re-
main and appropriation bills will take
considerable Of the time. SO that the
discussion on silver can be prolonged
until the end Of the session. If the com-
mittee reports q rule requiring a final
vote on the silver bill on q certain day,
and the house decides TO vote o N the
measure, ! am satisfied that the bill
will pass the house. In the senate,
however, there is a sufficient minority
against the repeal Of the Sherman law
to absolutely prevent the passage of a
bill at this session
You do not consider the outlook very
encouraging for q bill reaching the
president before March 4, them"
"No The time IS too short, I'm my
opinion, for the repeal Of the silver Law
at the present session"
do you believe the law would be re.
pealed II it were brought to d vote in
both house
YES, il a straight vote could be OBJ
rained the law would be repealed al
once, but with the determined minority
there is little hope of a straight vote,
and therefore little hope of a change
in the silver legislation at present.
Mr.. Wilson declined to discuss cabinet
possibilities. He will leave here on the
morning express and viii reach WASH
ington about l o'clock Monday after
| noon.
Mr.. Cleveland remained quietly at his
cottage all day. Don M. Dickinson was
his guest over Sunday. Aside from
Congressman Wilson, his only caller
was Nathan Straus. who is the owner
Of the Lakewood hotel Mr.. Cleveland
announced Sunday evening that he viii
remain here all of the coming week,
in order to dispose of several matters of
Importance which have been awaiting
his attention for some time. He de-
sires that his ordinary mail shall be
directed to his office in New York, as IL
will receive more. prompt attention
there than here. The sudden death
Sunday morning Of DR.. w. G Stone,
the physician and friend Of the Cleve-
land family. was a shock to both Mr..
and Mrs. Cleveland.

WASHINGTON. juno 23.-Cemocrats recon-
mendcd for appointment by Vice-President
Stevenson have generally given up the chase
and gone home They were not many. Tho
Nice-prcsdCnt has been discreet in this ro-
spcct. He has favored none whose deserts
were not obvious, whose qualifications were
not inquest ;onable. Naturally enough. he
expected that there would be no failure In any
case. Mono sought any great Office. A Buita-
BILE recognition OF their services was all that
was desired. Besides thore were somo rights
supposed 70 be inseparab bio from tho station Cf
President that justified him In believing
that his wishes would not BIO wholly neglected.
But they have been neglected. nevertheless.
Mr.. Stevenson has been very little in Washing
ton since the adjournment. He has takon no
part in any scramble for the Offices. He has
asked nothing save some small favors. which
must DO regarded rather as rights He has
joined In nothing that would in any manner
embarrass tho Administration. Yet most OF the
few things he did ask for have. after an agra
waiting delay been denied to him. This is sur
prising, but il is true.

A Very Interesting List.

The list OF the public-school girls who
pass the annual examinations for admis-
sion into the Normal College. as the girls
high school is named. is always interesting
and suggestive rs a social study.
These examinations continued through
out the week beginning with the 9Th of
June. and in that trying weather as many
as $50 girls submitted themselves to the
severe ordeal. for the tests applied are
sharp. In order to gain admittance to the
college the candidates are required to get
rs out OF possible 100 in the measure of
proficiency and this necessary percentage
was secured by 652 OF them. Considering.
the severity OF the test. that was proper
tionately large number. and the girls who
bore 1t 80 successfully must be both intel
lectually bright and nervously enduring.
AS is frequently the case. II not usually.
one OF the two girls attaining the highest
averages was Of Jewish lineage. PAULA
COIN. The other was a German. with a
surname illustrious In German literature,

were close to perfection. while EsTELLE

as made American by naturalization. or as
