PIERCING OF PLATES,
Armor and Projectiles Made at
PhtSburg.
But the Defects May Be Obviated
by a New Process of Hardening
the Material.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15.-The apparent
ease with which the heavy armor plates
were punctured in the tests at Indian
Head during the last few days has been a
disappointment to Pittsburgers, who are
proud of the big mill at Homestead, but
the prnjectile used was also product of
home industry and both could not prevail.
President Cy Wheeler of the Sterling
Steel Company, manufacturers of the new
projectile, says the armor-plates were all
right. but the fault lay in the Harvey
process of hardening. He contends that
the plates, to successfully Withstand his
projectile, must be made by the same
process. He thinks he has worked out a
plan. and the Carnegie Company is now
making some plates on the plan he mapped
out. They will be ready about the middle
of August. when they will be tested.
The president frankly admits that if the
test is a success he must improve his pro-
iectiles and burst even the new plate il
he can.
Instead of hardening the plates with
carbon. as is dsne under the Harvey pro-
cess and putting in nickel to tougher the
material, Wheeler is having a plate made
on the principles used in producing the
projectiles. He puts chrome or chromium
in the projectiles. and this material he will
substitute in the plate for nickel. and no
carbon for hardening will be used. The
chrome Is very hard material and is
found extensively in this country and in
Europe. particularly Germany. There are
large deposits of it around Baltimore.
Wheeler thinks the fault of hardening
plates, especially the thickness of seven
teen and eighteen inches, is that you can
not tell how far it penetrates. You may
think the hardness goes into the plate for
some little distance when really it may be
M erely close to the surface.

LESSONS OF THE STRIKE.
Rev. Dixon Tells Why the Govern

NEW YORK, July Is. - Rev. Thomas
Dixon Jr., who finds text for each Sun
days sermon in the events OF the prered-
ing week, preached in Association Hall
to-day on the strike. He said this great
uprising of the laboring classes, which has
cost the country S1,0O0,000 and was likely
to cost it S.. ZOO. 900 more. had its origin In
a great injustice pegpetrated by some
body. 1t was impossible to imagine the
laboring classes. after enduring the
miseries consequent on the depression of
the past year, leaving their workshops
unless there was injustice somewhere.
Three lessons. however, had been learned
by the strike:
First, that the railroad man ayers were
utterly incapable to handle the railroads
the moment a strike was precipitated
second, that mob violence and disorder
would under no circumstances be tolerated
by the American people; third, that the
National Government alone has the power
TO break such a strike and raise the rail-
road blockade. from which follows the

MAY BE SWEPT AWAY
EAST ATCHIsON is IN DANGER OF
DESTRUCTION.
The Missouri River Rising Rapidly
and Begins to Wash Away the
Banks-Enst Atchison May Soon BE
Destroyed.

Atchison, Kan, May 2S.-During the
past forty-eight hours tee Missouri river
has risen nearly six feet. The rise was
rather sudden and great damage is being
done to property in the vicinity of East
Atchison. During the past twelve hours
the stream has cut away nearly zoo feet
OF adjoining land near that town, and the
work of destruction continues. The town
of East Atchison has been protected
heretofore by a strip of land known as
the Point, and which extended for sew
eral yards into the river. This point
has been cut away, however, and the
main current of the stream strikes the
own almost squarely from the north.
1t will probably be only a question of a
few hours until the current has full sway
at East Atchison from this direction,
and then no power on earth can save the
place from being swept away. Great
excitement prevails and a great many
persons have moved to this side of the
river for safety.
Store buildings and houses which stood
in the north end of the village are being
torn down and moved by their owners
Probably as many as a dozen buildings
were moved to-day and the work will
continue throughout the night. Laborers
and teams from this city and from the
country surrounding East Atchison have
been sent there to assist the citizens in
removing their houses. Just north of
East AtchisOn there are three lines of
railroad paralleling each other-the Rock
Island, the Santa Fe and Hannibal Il st.
Joseph. The river has encroached to
within less than thirty feet of the tracks
of these railways, and it is possible that
the railways will be compelled to stop
passing trains over them. Several days
ago a large force of men were put to
work by the railroad %riprapping the bank
i'll an effort to stop the encrOachment.
This was stopped Saturday for the reason
that no bank could be secured to con-
tinue the %riprapping, and also that the
stream washed it out almost as fast as
it was placed there. 1t is thought moth
ing can be done now to prevent the cut
ting, and citizens are either preparing
to leave the place or else standing idly
by watching the river on its mission of
destruction.

Northern Pacific Loses.

Washington. May 2S.-The case of
Richard V. Barden and others against
the Northern Pacific Railway company
has been decided by the United States
supreme court. AS a test case il in
vclves the title to many thousands of
acres of mineral lands along the North.
ern Pacific railway, principally in Mon
tona, and included within the land grants
t" the road from the government under
the act of July :, 1864. Under the terms
of this act mineral lands were excluded
from the terms of the grant. Mineral de-
posts of gold and silver were discovered
on some Of the lands several years after
the railroad had taken possession, and
suits over the title ensued, the question
at Issue being whether the language of
the act meant that only lands found to
be mineral wheE the grant was made
were exempt from its operations, or
whether subsequent discoveries that the
lands were mineral in character would
deprive the company of any title to such
lands. The decision is against the North
crn Pacific.

PIngue Mt HOnk Kong.

San Francisco, May 2S.-The Canton
correspondent of the Hong Kong Tele-
graph, under date of April %, says: AN
epidemic which has already wrought
considerable havoc in the different parts
of the city claimed its first victim about
a fortIhigt ago, and since then has car
ried off thousands of natives. The symp-
toms of this disease are somewhat SINH
lar to those observed in patients who
succumbed to the ravages of n plague
that decimated the population of Hochow
ten years ago. The first indication is
high fever, speedily followed by an en-
lrgement of the glands situated in the
region of the arm pits and groins. Death
usually ensues about twenty-four hours
after the first symptoms have developed.
The cause of the malady is undoubtedly
foul water and bad drainage.

United States court by David l.. New
berg of New York, asking that = re-
ceiver be appointed for the SchLster Ma
tiCEal bank, alleging fraud on the part
of the cashier. 5. A. Walker. The trou-
BILE arose from the failure of A. n. Schu-
ster Il Co. a month ago. The petition
states that Newberg is a stakeholder in
the bank, and is also a creditor of
SchCster to a large amount Newbcrg
asserts that prior to the consolidation of
the Schuster National bank with the Sax
ton National bank the bank had loaned
Schrster & Co, whom they knew to be
in a failing condition, over 100000, and
that he believes the bank loaned him that
amount when their agreement with the
stockholders forbade it. Schuster was
one of the bank officials. Newberg says
that Walker deceived him, and he makes
other charges.

Using labels reported that the general
work of the label league was of great
velue to them. In asking dealers to
use goods bearing a label they find them
already convcrsant with the arguments
in favo, of labels. This information Las
been gained through the advertising de-
vices used by the Card and Label league
in the last year. When the dealer is
f; n:liar with the subject the unions find
it much easier to introduce each special
label. The c~iearmakers reported that
the b. of l.. 4. convention had taken up
the blue label in earnest and are likely
TO continue their agitation when they go
10 their homes. The shoemakers reported
that the Union is in good shape i'll st.
Paul. One firm is using the label and
three firms have signed wage contracts
with the union. The Minneapolis shoe
makers have organized under the ma
tional union and received their charter.
They hope soon 10 have II label adopted
in Minneapolis. The organization of the
league for encouragement of home in
dustries was discussed at some length.
The Card and Label league favors it.
Plans for future work in advertising
union labels were discussed. All labor
conventions meeting in the Northwest
this summer will be asked to cooperate
in the work. Some arrangement will
also be made to secure the help Of the
farmers at their convention in July. The
next meeting of the league will be held
in ST. Paul the last Friday in June.

acres constituting a big, dry hole, the
bottom of which is 297 feet above the
