RUSSIAN SHELLS SUPERIOR.
Remarkable Result of an Armor
Test mt st. Petersburg.

CBv Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 3o.-A despatch to The
Times from St. Petersburg says: "A
trial was made yesterday OF six lo-inch
armor plates, the face Of which had
been hardened by the Harvey process.
A 6-inch Oboukhoff gun was used. The
first test was made with the latest i'm
proved Hotter shells. These were
stopped by the plates and smashed. A
test was then made with similar shells.
with a Russian secret improvement, and
the result was remarkable. The shells
not only pierced the plates, but sped a
distance of some thousand yards to the
rear Of them.
when recovered the shells were found
to be unchanged, and this in spite Of the
fact that they were fired at an obliquity
of eight to ten degrees. This experiment
proves that Russia possesses a projectlle
superior to any hitherto invented. Fur
Their experiments will be made at a
greater obliquity."

LIBERTY WILL BEAM.
Capt. Sohley Has Not Been Ordered
to Abolish the Light.
Says There Was No Appropriation
Last Year, Either.
WIN Use General Funds to Defray
the Expenses.

The Statue OF Liberty light. on Lib
erty Island. will beam tonight.
1t will still continue TO illuminate the
waters Of New York Harbor, notwith-
standing that Congress has failed to
make the extra $4,000 appropriat ton re-
quested by the Lighthouse Board for its
support.
This fact was assured to an Evening
World" reporter this morning by Capt.
w. s. Schley. who was at his office in
Tompkinsville, s. I.
1.-The Lighthouse Board" said he, has
not instructed me as the inspector of
lighthouses to extinguish Libertys light
and SO far as / know, will not. We
will endeavor to continue to maintain
1t. though we have to do so by using
money from the general appropriation
fund.
Much has been said about the limited
amount Of money which is appropriated
by Congress to supply the necessary new
beacon lights at points where they are
absolutely needed for the safety of life
and vessels. and It is all true.
Congress was asked to give us $4,000
with which to carry on the Liberty
light, but that appropriation did not
appear in the schedule for the fiscal
year, beginning tomorrow. Neither did
i last year, but the light burned just
the same"
Capt. Schley said that the light could
not be run for less than $4,000 a year,
which includes the running of the ma
chinery. coal, wood and manual labor.
The news will be welcome to New
Workers. who love the great Bartholdi
statue Of Liberty Eniishtening the
World.
One of the men attached to the Amer
| lean Committee OF the Statue of Liberty
said this morning:
I'VE would be glad to bear the expense
OF maintaining the light, but we have
not finished raising the fund with which
we hope to complete the statue. The
great concrete arches to be erected at
the base. and other things to be done
for the protection of the pedestal. will
cost about $4,000. We now have $40, ooO
| Of that sum.
THE money is the proceeds from the
traffic on the boat running between the
Battery and the island. Last year we
made little money. but this year. SO
far, the outlook is dubious. I'm afraid
| that we will be obliged to call for as
| sistance to finish the work.
The World gave us the statue, prac-
tically speaking, and think it will have
to help us complete It,"

confess that the signs pAresaology

was frank. The indignant clergy
