This, of course, endangers the pipe, and

A GUNS JACKET.
A Successful Experiment of q New
System Yesterday.

A SucceSsful Experiment OF q New
System Yesterday.
The experimental nickel steel gun was
partially jacketed at the Washington navy
yard yesterday by the of the Sellers
system of jacketing. There is an inner and
an outer jacket and yesterday was devoted
to shrinking on the inner jacket. The tube
lowered into the pit. Then the inner
jacket, all IN one piece, was put in the
Sellers portable furnace and heated to the
proper degree of expansion. With the Sellers
system the furnace and jacket are both
hoisted and lowered In the tube, so as to
keep the jacket from losing any of It's heat
and hence resulting in decrease in expan-
sion.
Master Mechanic Robinson superintended
the efforts of the workmen, and the large
crane hoisted the furnace and jacket and
at a word of command both were let down
three feet a minute toward the projecting
end of the tube. When within d short dis
tance Of the tube the speed of drop was in
creased and the furnace fell upon the tube
at the rate of eight feet per minute. Mean
while cold stream of water was shooting
UP the tube and falling down the sides en-
the interior. The jacket fen into place all
right and the work proved successful
The advantage claimed by the Sellers
system Is that instead of heating the iack
cts in separate pieces, by using a portable
furnace 1t can be made and finished in one
piece and shrunk On.

CURIOUS VERDICT.
Striking a Person I'm the Army is Not
an Assault.


an Assault.
A curious verdict was rendered by a naval
court-martial which recently convened at
Norfolk, Va, for the trial of marine
named David Drummond. He was charged
with drunk assaulting and striking
another person in the service and using
abusive, obscene and threatening language
toward his superior officer. The court, of
which Lieut.. Commander George A. Bick-
nell was president, found him guilty in the
main Of the three charges. The singular
part Of the verdict was that they found him
guilty ''of striking another person In the
service" but not guilty of that portion of
the same charge relating to an assault"
The sentence was confinement for a period
OF six months, at the expiration of which
time he was to be dishonorably discharged
In reviewing the proceedings Of the court
Acting Secretary McAdoo said 1t was diff
cult to understand how the accused could be
found guilty Of striking another person in
the service and at the same time not guilty
OF assaulting such person. He said that
there may be an assault without "a strik-
ing" or battery but that according to
Bouvter IAN assault Is included in every
battery" Subject to these remarks the
fndings and sentence Of the court were ap-
proved.

few weeks ago. while on an Official sea
trial or final acceptance test. the cruiser
Montgomery suffered an accident through
the breaking down of one Of her engines.
A nut became loose and the high-pressure
cylinder was destroyed. cutting short the
trial and necessitating repairs amounting
to about 5000. A naval board was ap-
pointed to examine and report upon the af-
fair. and they concluded that the contract
crs-the Columbian iron works Of Balti-
mcre-were responsible for the accident in
rot exactly following the specifications,
which would have made the nut secure
Secretary Herbert has been looking into
the matter, however and he has reversed
the findi lgs of the board, holding that the
accident occurred through carelessness. Ac-
cordingly, he has addressed letters to Chief
Engineer j. A. B. Smith and Passed Assist

were in charge of the machinery, sharply
reprimanding them for cOntributory negli-

The Fate Of the Assassin of Carnot
Sealed.
LOSING SCENES OF TIE TRIAL TODAY
The Prisoner Makes a Show of
Scornful Defiance.
He is TO BE BEHEADED

LYONS. August 3.-There were few people
around the palace OF justice this morning
when the trial Of Caserio Santo, or Santo
Caserio Che Is called by both names) the as
sassin Of President Carnot, was resumed
Some confusion has arisen In regard to the
right name of the prisoner In addition to
the two names referred to- the prisoner has
been referred to as Santo Geronimo Caserio
Caserio Santo Hieronymo and Cesare Clio
vanni Santo. the latter being the name he
gave at the police station here when first ex-
amined after his arrest; but Santo Case-io
seems to be the manner IN which the as
sassin Is generally termed.
The court regulations and military guard
were the same as yesterday, and the same
military precautions were taken.
The presiding Judge of the Lyons assizes
NJ B-euillac, opened the session at about D
ny, and Immediately ordered Caserio to
be produced The latter. as yesterday, was
escorted into the deck handcuffed to two
gendarmes. one on each side of him. and
with two gendarnes bringing up the rear.
The prisoner seemed even more defiant than
yesterday. and took his seat with a mocking
smile upon his face.

Leblanc. the solder who was a fellow
prisoner with Caserio at Marseilles, testified
that Caserio told him that he intended to
