PNEUMATIC GUNS.

Enormous Loads Of High Explosives Sent
Beyond Contract Distanro With Ease
Feats Accomplished.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-The last tests
required by the government before the
acceptance of the two 15-inch pncu-
matte guns ct Sandy Hook were held
Friday at the proving ground. AS
soon as the members Of the board OF
ordnance have made their report, the
guns will be accepted, and the big plant
at Sandy Hook will become United
States property. 1t was arranged to
explode five Of the enormous LEO
pound projcctilcs, each one containing
chemicals combining nitrogelatine. 81
per cent; gun cotton, 8 per cent; gun
powder, per cent; and carbonate Of
magncsia, 2 per cent. The combina-
ton is the most powerful form of solid
dynamite known. These enormous
torpcdoes cost 81 600 apiece.
Five thousand dollars worth were
thrown into the sea Friday, to say
nothing of an cight-inch torpedo, con-
tanning 100 pounds of nitrogelatine,
ana 1lve dummy proJectilco.
The first projcctilc fired consumed
sixteen seconds in It's fight OF two
thousand yards. and, being fitted with
a two-second delay fuse. did lot eX-
plode until it was eighteen feet under
water and nearly 80 feet from the
spot where it struck, The upheaval
was Il magnificent spectacle, solid
acre OF water RISING in the air. The
fourth shot was Il perfect one. and the
explosion did not come until the entire
projactilc had disappeared! under the
water.
The second test was with Il Ao0-pound
projectilc. containing lGo pounds of nj
trO-gelatinc. Only one Of the shells
was fired and i: went way beyond the
contract distance The third test WAS
with five dummy pro ectilcs. weighing
1850 pounds each.
According TO contract the gun must
be able to shoot ten proiectiles in forty
minutes. They did it.

Morlock is the name Of q pretty Aus
TRAN girl whose whereabouts is excit
ing much interest she is II years Of
age. an orphan and an heiress. Two
years ago her mother died in Aus

money. Previous to her death She re-
quested that Howard Lenbecl1, an old
family friend, should act as the childs
guardian He then lived at .Janesvillc,
near this city. In compliance with

tor to Lcrhccks house.
East Sunday Fannie left home, in
tending to attend mass. That was the
last seen of her. 1t was stated that

child's disappearance that Lenbecll is
sued warrant for Bogan's arrest
Began is nowhere to be found.
1t now transpires that the girl Is held
in custody. A man called at the Len
becl1 residence, and explained that if
Mr.. Lenbeck would offer no objections
to the girls marriage all would be
well, and if not sum of money would
have to be paid for her release.

President Cleveland VIII Withhold His

PRESIDENT Cleveland VIII Withhold HIS
Name From the Tariff Bill, Says Speaker
Crisp.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Prcsiient
Cleveland will not sign the tariff bill.
This determination was indicated
Thursday by the adjournment of the
senate and house until Monday.
The greatest pressure ever exe"tcd
upon an executive TO make him father
measure born under the supposed re-
sponsibility of acknowledged demo
cratic leadership has failed to swerve
the first determination Of Mr.. Clevc-
land even hairs breadth. lie will
have nothing to do with the youngster
he once denounced.
The outgoing trains Friday evening
were filled with departing national
statesmen. They were completely dis
gusted with the news conveyed pri-
vetely by Speaker Crisp to congress
that President Cleveland would not in
dorsc their tariff work. Most of these
representatives are going to enter upon
red-hot campaign for reelection.
The democratic paralysis produced
by the presidents naughty refusal to
have anything to do with the bill
which becomes 4 law within few dags
can hardly be appreciated away from
Washington. Senators and representa-
tivcs are alike shocked by the the
lightning stroke Of presidential con-
tempt which has been buried at them.
a veto would have offered an outlet
for a manifestation of the vigorous
declaration that Notwithstanding eX-
ecutive disapproval the cxigencv Of the
situation demanded democratic action
The responsibility for a failure to en-
act tariff reform bill could thus have
been placed upon the president. As 1t
is now. SIR. Cleveland has cunning
ly refused to commit himself in APP
proval.
1t is probable that at the last moment
the republicans may permit bill to
pass correcting the mistake as to alco-
hol used in the arts.

mace.
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 25.-Firc broke
out in tho Oregan Improvement Co.'S
coal mine at Franklin, thirty-four
miles from this city, at l o'clock Fri
day afternoon. and already thirty-seven
dead bodies have been recovered from
the mine. 1t is known that many 9th
ers are imprisoned in the fiery furnace,
but the number is only matter Of
conjecture as yet.
The first news Of the tragedy was re-
ceived in this city By Manager Smith
at 1:20 o'clock Friday afternoon. in tire
shape of telegram from the mine
superintendent, which stated that the
mine was afre and that many miners,
both white and black, were imprison-
ed Later telegram was received
reading as follows:
'.Thirty-seven dead bodies were taken
out, and suppose there are many moro
to be recovered"
Manager Smith. when he first learn
ed that the mine was aGre. sent out a
special train bearing superintendent
| Cory and a crew to assist in subduinS
the flames, taking care of the com
pany's property and rescuing the i'm
prisoned men The officers in this city
are retcent in giving out any infoi1na-
ton whatever Beyond the fact that
the mine caught fire and thirty-seven
dead bodies have been removed al
ready.
Alate telegram from the scene states
that the thirty. seven who were killed
proba bly, died from being suffocatcd by
the smoke, as the bodies do not show
burns of a fatal nature. What proper
ton of the dead men are white and
what proportion are black can not at
present be learned, bat the officers say
they are equally divided.
Wives, children and comrades of the
dead men are frantic with grief and
form a picture that would move tho
strongest to tears.
a telegram at ago o'clock stated that
the fire was out, and the damage not
so extensive as at first supposed. The
smoke had the effect of dcceiving the
men as to the extent of the fire. No
more bodies have been recovered, but
men arc now engaged in exploring tho
mine.

On the Fart OF Colombia Against Our Gov
eminent for Overcrnrgc Of Duties.
WAsllGNGroS. Mug. 97.-Our govern
ncnt has becoli crtanglcd with the
United States OF Colombia, which
steadily refused all efforts OF tho state
department to induce it to become
party to onc OF these reciprocity
treaties.
When her sister Republican and Spain
las to Cuba ana Porto Rico began to
snip their products duty frec to the
United States under the terms Of their
new treaties Columbia claimed the
same exemption for her staples, hides,
coifces, sugars and molasses The State
department rejected his CAIN. The
treaty of 1916 declares that the
Columbians shall not be assessed
any duties upon their pro-
ducts imported into the United States
higher than on like articles imported
from any other foreign country. At
last the United States hes been obliged
to admit the strength and correctness
Of the Colombian position. This being
done it follows that the government
must refund to importers the
amounts they paid in duties on Co.
lombian products which should lave
been free or admitted at lower rates.
Steps are being taken to ascertain the
amount from statistics. The United
States very recently induced Spain to
order a refund Of $1,000, 600 collected
enormously upon our exports to Cuba,
but a stronger case is found in an in
stance where Great britain was Obliged
to refund to us under the terms OF {.
treaty closely corresponding with That
between the United States and Co.
