The best heavy projectiles for great
guns are made in the United States. No
country Of Europe has succeeded in pro-
ducing proiectiles that can stand any
thing like the test given some American
shot at the Indian Head proving grounds
on Wednesday last. One was fired from
a l5-inch gun at a target consisting of a
piece of oil-tempered steel armor l4I5
inches thick and some - feet square The
armor was backed up by 40 inches Of
seasoned heart oak. The projectile pene-
trated the armor and the oak and few
several hundred feet beyond before it
buried itself in the earth The armor
was smashed. When the proiectile was
recovered it was found TO be in almost
the proper condition for another shot
There was not the slightest bit of set
up and the point, as sharp as the point
OF lead pencil, was perfect and sharp
enough TO scratch a finger. The sides Of
the projecule were scratched the least
bit. Tue force with which the shot
struck the plate is calculated TO have
been sufficient to have lifted, il prop
erly distributed, a battleship from the
blocks Of a dry dock The battleship
Indiana is 70 have four guns Of the kind
used in the test and they will fire proiec-
tiles like the ones tested. With such a
terrible battery the Indiana should be
one Of the most formidable war vessels
aLoat.

Gov. Waites feelings are hurt. The
Presidents private secretary sent him a
typewriter letter and addressed it ITO
the Governor, Denver, Colorado" in
stead of writing it by hand, putting on
all of the frills and making the address
ITO His Excellency, Davis H. Waite,
Governor of Colorado, Denver, Col My
Dear Sir" etc. The letter was not an
official communication, but merely in
closed the itinerary of bicycle club that
was making an overland trip The re-
ceipt of the private secretary's type-writ-
ten letter sent Waite into tears, almost,
and he sat down and wrote long letter
TO the bicycle club bewailing the Presi-
dents and his secretary's lack of good
manners. Poor old Waite! If he should
be denied for three months the oppor-
tunity to exhibit his tears, the effect
might be fatal

Divorces West and South.
From the New York World Dem.

The other day a New York minister as
serted that there are more divorces in a year
in the single city OF Chicago than in ali the
southern states east Of the Mississippi river.
That assertion seems to be sweeping but it
is probably true, for divorces are as plentiful
in Chicago as they are rare in the south. In
communities which have not grown from
chivalry to coTnmereialism women may have
less freedom but they are treated with more
respect and have more ready defenders

mated on Thursday for congress to sue
coed Mr.. Mallory, is an "anti-reformer.' -
or otherwise a partisan Of the rail-
roads These terms, it must be under
stood, are purely localisms. They do not
mean that Mr.. Sparkman, who is a law
yer, is opposed to reforming things, or
that he would do more for railroad than
for anybody else. He is before the peo-
pie on a solid platform and will win his
race out-of-haud.

The new tariff bill, correctly enrolled
and signed by the speaker, was laid be-
fore the House on Wednesday i'm
mediately after the reading of the journal.
AS soon as the Houses last formalities in
connection with the bill had been con.
Guided, the resignation of Clifton r.
Breckenridge of Arkansas was read. The
ex-congressman will now go to St. Peters
burg as this governments minister to
Russia in complacent frame of mind
He was directly connected, from first tc
last, with the first democratic tariff bill
passed by congress since the war If Mr.
Breckenridge shall prove himself as good
a diplomat as he is a tariff reformer the
traditional good feeling between this gov
eminent and Russia will become ever
stronger.

Gen. Harrison's Remarks


Ex-President Harrison has notified the
country in letter to the World that he
expects to make "a few emphatic re
marks" on the action of the House in
passing separate bills, putting sugar, iron
ore, coal and barbed wire on the free list
after having accepted the Senate bill
which puts these articles on the dutiable
list. Gen Harrison will not make his re
marks at present. He will make them at
some period of the Indiana campaign.
He should make them Immediately.
There may be no desire to hear them at
the time he proposes to make them. And
even now it is not certain
that he could say anything on the
line indicated that would be particularly
interesting.
He seems to think that the popgun
bills, as they are called, will prevent
"that business improvement that might
have resulted from any definite settlement
of the tariff question"
Gen. Harrison need not be uneasy on
the point to which he calls attention
The four bills passed by the House are
not going to prevent a return TO normal
business conditions. Doubtless Gen Har-
rison and other republican speakers
will try to make it appear
| during the congressional campaign that
the democrats have acted unwisely in not
letting the tariff question rest with the
passage of the amended Wilson bill, but
they will do that not because they think
the action of the House in passing four
bills putting sugar, barbed wire, iron ore
and coal on the free list will interfere
with general resumption Of business.
but because they think they can make a
little political capital by assuming it will
The fact that Gen. Harrison is going on
the stump in Indiana this fall is a pretty
good indication that he thinks there is a
chance for getting the Presidential uomi-
nation Of his party in 1896
The Aiken IS c. Times, Of which Mr..
John Gary Evans, the candidate of the

odds, on that question.

John Allsn,s Glasses.

Private John Allen. despite his buxom
looks and general air Of youthfulness. is
obliged TO wear spectacles, says the Wash
ington Post. He wears a pair Of monster
window glasses set in a massive black horn
or Celluloid frame. Spectacles like these are
never seen outside of China. and these par.
ticular spectacles were presented TO Mr.. Al
len according TO current report by the Chi
nese minister in recJgnition OF his pro.
nounced friendship for The Flowery Kingdom.
They are worn only on state occasions as
when Mr.. Allen is preparing one of his great
speeches on the tariff or other momentous
question that agitates the people. They ena.

Washington sea captain complains OF the

tramp nuisance at sea. There is a large and
increasing numoer OF men who make a
practice OF beating their way from place TO
place on vessels, and the cOasting craft are
their favorlte prey. They manage to slip
ABOARD a vessel Just as she is ready for sea
and hide themselves until she is fairly out on
the salt water, when they make their presence
known. Sometimes a gang Of five or six will
get on the same vessel. OF course they have
TO be fed, as the captain is more or less re-
sponstple for their being there but as no &C
count OF them has been taken in laying in
supplies, they sometimes force the crew on
rather short ratlons. Most captains put the
fellows 20 work as far as possible but there Is
little work on the sort OF vessels that they
usually select that a landlubber can do.

Being in company with the recent
Scandinavian editorial party during the
entire trip, i had many opportunities of
COnVerSing with them upon this matter
and of hearing them exchange views in
reference to soils, timber water. markets,
schools and its general adoption to settle
ment by Scandinavians The advantages
and disadvantages were discussed and
criticized from every point, and most
favorable verdict rendered They ex-
pressed their belief in the correctness of
the claims made that their people could
do vastly better in the south than in the
north or northwest; that the same amount
| of labor would bring about much more
, satisfactory results; that the necessities
of life were fewer while the luxuries are
more easily obtained, and their intention
! of advising their patrons accordingly
1t is a significant fact that several of
the party made earnest inquiries with
| view to making purchases. They seemed
TO be fully convinced that the opportuni-
ties for making profitable investments are
! exceptionally good.
| 1t may not be generally understood, but
it is i fact nevertheless, that many north
| crncrs have an underlined dread of the
! south. They fear yellow fever, malaria,
snakes, ailigators, other reptiles and in
sects. They have vague ideas of religious
and political prescription and expect to
| find everything that is disagreaable to
| them. When those who have courage
| enough to go down, see for themselves, as
| did the editorial party, how absurdly
ridiculous such ideas are, and how much
! different things are from what they ex-
! pected, they are surprised and pleased
and go back to their homes living adver-
| tisements.
! Although the taking of this party south
was somewhat of an experiment, there is
| now no doubt but that results will prove
! highly satisfactory. and it is to be hoped
| that it is the beginning OF new era in
! advertising methods.
Mir Louis Pic, an educated Dane who
! has been in this country about twenty

! is moved to lay the details of his plan be-
! fore the promoters of southern immigra-
! ton, it will be of the greatest value to
