GUNS FOR THE ARMY.
Two New TweIve-POunderS Re.
ceived by the Aloha.

Among the cargo brought by the
Aloha were two twelve-pounders
Drigg-Schroeder field and landing
guns. They were delivered at
military headquarters and will be
unpacked and placed in position
today.
This gun is 2.76 inches calibre,
has a length of bore of % calibres,
weighs $50 pounds, and fires
shell weighing II pounds, using / J
pounds of powder and attaining a
muzzle velocity of 1850 feet per
second. The shell is designed with
a large cavity to secure effective
mining power against field works
and efficiency against barricades.
The bursting charge is 13 ounces.
The gun is mounted on a field
carriage weighing go pounds, and
is fitted with recoil attachment,
permitting a recoil of about four
inches directly in the line of fire
and Independent of the recoil of the
carriage itself, This is a point of
vital importance, owing to the ex-
cessive Jump of such light gun
firing a projectile of the weight
used in this one. Mounted on the
old style carriage, the resulting
Jump would destroy accuracy, but
in the carriage used with this gun
the recoil in the line of fire permits
the proiectile to leave the muzzle
before the carriage begins to move.
Fixed ammunition is used with
the gun, the suitable kinds being
common shell and shrapnel The
gun is fitted with the very latest
design of Driggs-Schroeder breech
mechanism, the simplicity of which
may be comprehended when the
fact that it contains but twelve
parts is stated.

News was brought by the Mio-
vera that the Italian cruiser Girls
toforo Colombo would visit this
port early next month on a cruise
around the world. The Sydney
Morning Herald of November 4th,
speaking of the cruisers visit there
says:
Two years ago Italy's navy amount
ed to % armored ships and 81 unarm-
Ored, against Frances 75 armOred and
unarmOred lis, Germany 81 and SO,
and Russia As and 50 respectively.
These were the statistics the year
1893) following the completion of the
Italian cruiser CristOfOrO Colombo,
the smart looking corvette which
may now be seen lying off Farm Cove
with her rakish bark-rigged masts
and double tunnels. 1t is so seldom
that an Italian warship favOrs Sydney
with visit that it was no surprise
yesterday morning to find a great
many visitors inspecting the vessel.
OF course the first business was to
salute the port, then the reception of
the consul took some time, and after
wards a great many of King Hum
bert's subjects paid their respects to
his majesty's representatives. aboard
the cruiser. They were received and
entertained by Captain BertOlini and
his officers. One of the latter is Prince
Luigi, Duke of AbbruZZi, a son of the
, late Prince AmedeO, Duke of Costa,
who was son Of the present king of
Italy. Prince Luigi is one of the lieut.
enants, a young man of about % years
of age. The cruiser is making
twelve months trip round the world,
and has already been cut from Venice
several months, during which time
she has visited India, Ceylon, and the
Straits Settlements. She first made
Australia's coast at Albany, where
she stayed day or two, and next call
ed at Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart.
While at Melbourne many official
visits were paid, and the Italian resi-
dents held high carnival in connection
with the event. The Melbourne Club
entertained the Prince and the captain
and officers, and conferred upon them
honorary mem berships, a courtesy
wbicn was followed by the other clubs
in the Victorian capital, both French
and German. Several garden parties
signaled the event of the Italian ships
presence, and the stay at Melbourne,
as indeed also at the other ports, was
yesterday IueullOu0u OH OOdiO as bS-
ing perhaps the most enjoyable Incl
dents of the trip.
Of the vessel bat little need be said.
She sits uncommOnly we'll on the
water, her graceful lines showing to
adv antage. In size she is larger than
our Auxiliary Squadron ships, but
smaller than the Orlando, and though
steel built is an unarmOred vessel.
Her speed under forced draught is
fourteen knots, but her officers state,
and her heavy spars quite bear out
the opinion, that she can under can
vas alone log twelve knots. Her full
com mplement is nineteen officers and
225 blueiackets and marines. The di-
mensions and armament of the visitor
are: Length, 248 feet 5 inches; beam,
81 feet inch; depth, Is feet S inches;
displacement, 3400 tons. She carries
six AZ inch B. L. guns, four six
FOUNDER quick firers, besides some
smaller weapons. She is commanded
by Captain AlessandrO Bertolini.

Scene at Band Concert.

Professor Berger's program OF
Portuguese airs at the Emma
Square concert last night were a
little too much for an animal rid
den by Robert Atkinson, and the
horse shied in such manner as to
unseat his rider. The animal then
backed into a horse attached to a
carriage occupied by Mrs. Hopkins
and children. The latter took a
spin into a mass of carriages stand
ing in the vicinity. The crowd
listening to the concert lost all
interest in the music in consequence,
but luckily no one was hurt.

Dennis Maiden, county attorney of
Chase county, kan., visited the legal de-
partmeas of the Santa Fe today on bus
mess connected with suit for damages
against the Arkansas Valley Town and
Land company brought by H : lincoln
of Richards, Kan. The particulars Of
the suit are very peculiar and are a. fol-
lows: IN 1886 the Arkansas Valley Town
aud Land company plated out the town
OF Richards in Chase county. and made
arrangements with Sir. Lincoln VINO then
owned 2 general merchandise store at
Matfeld Green, a few miles distant, to
move his store TO the new town. The
company was to pay Mr. Lincoln
$3.50 for moving his store, and
also deed him certain town and business
lots When the arrangements for the
transfer of the store were completed,
Nj Lincoln told the company that he
did not care to go on unless he received
positive assurance that the Santa Fs rail-
road would be built through Richards,
and claims that the general agent of the
company informed him that the road
would be built within year. He imme
diaIeIy moved his store and received the
$3.50 and the deed to the properly in
Richards, according to their agreement
Mr. Lincoln anxiously awaited the adj
vent OF ths railroad for over year. and,
finding at the end of that time that the
Santa Fs would run no nearer than Cedar
Point. several miles distant, at once com
menced suit against the land company
for $4,000 damage s,ssalIegiEg that as the
amount of injury done his business by
the failure of the road to build through
that town. The district court of Chase
county awarded Lincoln So $40 damages
the Santa Fe attorneys appealing the
case to the supreme court, claiming that
the agent of the land company had no
right whatever to make any assurances
regarding the construction of the rail
road. as he had never been authorized to
do so. County Attorney Madden is Mr..
Lincoln's attorney.
