TURPlN'SWAR ENGINE
Report That He Has Sold It to
Germany.
II CREATES EXCITEMENT In FRANCE
Effect Of the New, Martial
Machine.
GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

PARIS. May 3O.-The most conflicting re-
ports are In circulation in regard to the
invention which NJ. Turpin. the inventor Of
melinite. is said to have sold for 100000
francs to Germany. The invention Is de-
scribed as being calculated to entirely
change the system of warfare and the re-
port OF its sale, true or untrue, has caused
a sensation in military and diplomatic
circles.
p One report describes the new engine Of
warfare as consisting of a mitrailleuse
shell adapted to q new description of gun,
having automatic means Of transport, and
which can be turned In any direction, while
rapidly discharging 2O,OOO shots over ZOO
square meters Of ground. The Turpin mi
trailleuse Is said to be loaded automati-
cally by an electric motor and the shell
1t has been fired.
Emperor William is said to have bestowed
upon the French inventor the title Of chief
engineer of ornaments.
= Tn the other hand it is reported that ne
gotiations for the sale of the new mitrail-
leuse to Germany have not been COM
pleted and 1t also said that Turpin him
self had caused the circulation of the re-
ports in regard to the sale of his new in
Vention to Germany in order TO create a
scare which will compel the French gov
eminent to purchase his invention at a
very high price.
Another ruInor has 1t that Turpin. who.
some time ago was sentenced to impcison-
ment for having sold to the Armstrong
gun-making firm of England certain Sc
crets in regard to the manufacture of ex-
plosives and weapons OF war, has sold his
new invention to England.
As u matter Of fact very little appears
to be actually known about the matter and
some time may elapse before the exact ma
ture of Turpins invention is known, and
1t may, after all, pass into the possession
of the French government.
Turpin is reported as having written to a
friend: II am going to sell my invention
to Germany. In eight months you will have
war ana In ten months there will no longer
be any France"

A special from Palatka. Fla. saysi
The people OF this section are very much
excited over the discovery OF a diabolicai
conspiracy among the negroes to commit a
series OF outrages upon white women. A
negro preacher, l. 7. Burgis. proposed to q
number Of negroes that they should seize
several white women and carry them into
the swamp and make them submit to their
embraces. The negroes consented. but the
whites secured evidence that such a con-
spiracy existed. and they took steps to
guard their homes.
In the meanwhile the negroes began to
leave the country. One OF those to leave
was Burgis, who went TO Georgia, where he
was apprehended. An officer returned with
the negro, but was suddenly confronted by
between seventy-five and one hundred
mounted men. Being overpowered, there
was no choice but to give Burgis up, and
next morning he was seen hanging from
limb. The white people are wild with rage,
and ii is believed that more lynchings VIII
speedily follow.

CONTROL OF SAMOA. o.
How the Question IL Regarded In the

MELBOURNE.M May 3O.-The parliament of
Victoria opened today. The governor and
commander-in-chief, the Earl Of Hopetoun.
in his address said that he was gratifed at
the fact that the years agricultural exports
had exceeded the record. He also said that
he was rejoiced that the approaching colo
NAL conference at Ottawa would consider
not only the trade relations existing be-
tween British colonies, but would also dis
cuss the projected Pacific cable. which Is
destined to unite the Australian colonies
with Canada. 1t was desirable. in the Opin-
ion of the governor, that this cable should
be entirely under British control
In regard to Samoa, said the Earl of
Hopetoun, the supervision Of those islands
by the colony of New Zealand would be
really their supervision by Great Britain.
and 1t was desirable that New Zealand's
offer should be accepted, not only on ac-
count Of its commercial advantages; but.
also. because 1t was consonant with true
Australian policy. -
