TURRET TRIALS on SHORE.
Costly Experiment to Determine Their
PnMera of ResistA nee.

Costly Experiment to Determine Their
Powers OF Resistance.
Secretary Herbert has given orders for a
practical trial of turTet, as nearly 4 5 IL
can BE- represented on shore There is need
for information as TO the ability of the
framing of these great masses of
plates 10 resist the shock administered by
shot from a great gun and there is a
dearth of experiment on the subject
The latest attempts in this direction were
made in England many years ago on the
turreT of the Glatton. but the turrets were
made of iron plates, laminated in part,
and owing to the difficulty of rolling large
plates they did not extend from top 10 bot
tom, but were divided into two sheets.
With comparatively small shot and slow
velocity these plates Were displaced from
the frame supporting them and it is now
felt 90 be deSra BILE TO know Just how much
better the modern system of framing VIII
stand against the modern gun
So orders have been given to Cramps TO
construct a framework as nearly as pOssi-
BILE resembling the turret Of the MaSSachu-
sets and upon this viii be placed ballistic
thTtcen-inch plate, one of those specially
wrought for the Massachusetts. The tur-
ret Will be placed upon rollers, just as
upon shipboard, and shot at first to see how
much it is displaced by a heavy shot and
again to learn how the framework stands
and whether the plate can be torn away
from its faSteningS by the blow
This experiment will be costly. bnt it is
believed that the resultnlay be to save much

CANADIAN ANNEXATIoN.

If Canada wants 20 make Dominion Day
a rousing success she should Join the
United States, change the day of celebrating
to July 4th and take a hand with Uncle
sam in Independence, fireworks. Last
Dominion Day. which is recorded as July
lSt, was a miserable failure from celebra-
tion standpoint There was no general OBJ
servance Of the anniversary of the time
when the provinces were united under one
government, nor was there any enthusiasm
manifested or patriotism displayed concern
ing Canadian affairs.
Possibly the lack of desire To celebrate is
due to conflicting race and religious in
nuences. A growing sentiment in favor
OF annexation has also diminished patriotic
ardor and, compared to the United States,
the national spirit in Canada has lost its
fire and yisor.
Business and national interests demand
that some time in the near future Canada
shall become a part OF the United States.
Practically we are as OF one nation.
The same la ws, customs and commercial! re-
Iati0nS govern our separate progress and
prosperity, and with territorial and tariff
lines obliterated, each section Of a common
people would be mutually benefited. The
disSensions and internal differences now
creating factions in Canada would be
forgotten in union with this country, and
in every way the gain for Canada would
more than compensate for the loss of her
proyIncial relations with England

tries From them we purchase certain
products TO supply demand, aud in return
they provide markets for the surplus OF our
immense Industrial and agricultural yield
Every foreign complication impairs this
interchange Of commerce, and every jingo
howl from prominent public men TO an
extent awakens apprehension in foreign
nations as TO the sincerity of this country
in his protestatious of friendship.
There viii be time to wave the American
fiagand shout Yankee Doodle when Ourcoat-
tails are trampled on. Patriotic sentiment
and national spirit will not be found wanting
when our rights are invaded or our honor
impeached. No country or people dare re-
proach us with lackofcourag geor wantoflove
for flag and country, and until that is done,
orthere is substantial reason for declaration
of war such exhibitions of the barnyard
rooster ST tylcas givenby Mr.. Campbell should
be promptly and unceremoniously dis

RAPID LOCAL MAIL SERVICE.

Why should not Washington have the best
and quickest possible mail distribution?
There would seem to beno good reason to the
contrary, hence it may be regarded as
singular that no steps have yet been taken
to secure the introduction of a street car
postal service. All the larger cities in the
country have asked for, and quite a number
OF them obtained il. and in every instance
the people. especially those living in the
suburbs. have been greatly benefited.
The Postoffice Department does not take
the initiative in the extension of this class
OF mail facilities. 1t does not move in
the matter save upon the accommodation
OF the local postmaster, based upon the
demands or wishes OF the people. Then
il investigates the necessity or STABILITY
Of tie change and acts accordingly. If,
therefore, the residents in the outlying pOr-
tions OF the District want their mail TO be
brought 10 them more promptly they must
take concerted action and, through Post
master Willett, bring il 10 the notice of the
Department
Nearly every suburb of Washington isnow
reached by electric railways. Those not yet
enjoying this mode OF rapid transit, and
suburbs that are yet TO come, viii have
it il time. Rapid mail service might as
wen 60 with it.

executive interference is asked
JURY WAS IGNORANT
They lan before the meeting the evi-
dence of Mrs. Taylor's conduct Judge
Barrett stated that he had learned since
the trial that some OF the jury believed
the story of her wickedness was made up
by the attorneys He said the truth was
that only the fathers desire to protect
their little girl prevented the introduc-
ton Of undOubted evidence of her I'M
moral life before her marriage even.
Mr.. Richard RothweIl a friend OF the
real estate man who is accused with
Mrs. Taylor, was present and protested
that he was sure of his friends innocence,

hiORE PoNDEROSITY.

Once again our President has placed
himself on record as the champion coiner Of
heavy weight platftudes. IN response to
an invitation TO burn eloquence al the
Tammany Fourth OF July, be ndited a let
ter, which Tor heavy words and ponderous
phrases is fully up to similar specimens of
lurgid English, for which Mr. Cleveland
Is noted
Among the several weight halancers that
require extra postage is: "Our danger
Is found in the recklcssness of selfishncss
End in insidious appeals TO popular passion
and thoughtIesSness This sentence was
no doubt born in Fishing boat during
long time between fish bites. It's as clear
as washington hydrant water and as fun
Of deep thought as the ocean is Of big
fish
Complaint is made by Tammany leaders
that President Cleveland neglected 10
refer in his letter to Democratic harmony
Had they gone back in the history OF this
Bdninistr ration good cause could have been
Iound for this omission. Harmony never
BONES from q dIscond- maker, nor would
such reference have been acceptable TO the
country. The Democratic party owes
most OF its present disorganization to the
lmprudruce OF MI Cleveland, and it would
be noEscnse 10 expect advice as TO party
harmony from such a source
While President Cleveland is indulging
IN patriotic sentiments, it would not be
out OF place TO mention that Communism
OF pelr' is sull unprosecuted, and that
the public believes his administration to be
controlled by corporate influences In
his Tammauy letter he says: "Our duty can
be well performed if we are simply honest,
intelligent and patriotic and If be would
apply 1his counsel to his own acts there
W0uld be less cause for complaint, so lar
as trusts and their influence are concerned.

Pass law against the deadly toy cannon.

Friends of wife murderer Taylor are
making an earnest effort TO save him from
the death penalty. An immense petition
OF citizens has been prepared, letters ask
ing for clemency from those prominent in
the prosecution have been secured, and
next week the President viii be requested
to commute the sentence TO Imprisonment
for definite period. President Cleveland
seldom interferes with the verdict of the
law but in this instance there is good reason
for his doing so. Taylor's crime was COM
mitted under eXtenuating circumstances,
and in any State in the Union would have
not been so severely punished. All this
will be brought TO the Presidents notice,
and there is hope that the sentence will be
cOmmuted.

WEATHER RrREAU WORK

Weather Bureau, who entered upon his
new post yesterday, makes two important
and interesting announcements. His bu-
Teau VIII be managed strictly according to
civil service rules, and forecasts of great
atmospheric changes receive the chief at
tention Of the force.
While, of course, it is very nice to
know beforehand whether it Will be wet
or dry on a certain day, which one has
chosen for a picnic OF an excursion, or
whether it will turn hot or cold, yet this
would hardly fulfill the purpose which was
had IN view when the Weather Bureau was
organized Predictions of this sort are
more in the nature Of luxuries than actual
necessities. On the other hand, how
ever, a warning that there will be an un-
usually heavy rainfall over a large area
of country may save thousands of dollars,
and by the representation of a cyclone
hundreds oflives may be spared

RIVAL PLANS OF The SHIPS
Important Test at Indian Head to
Settle Debated Question.
Bureau Differ as to the Size and
Location of Turret.

A very important test has been made
recently at Indian Head which VIII have
bearing on tie construction of the new
battle ships, over which there has been
so much contention.
The test was made under the direction
OF Capt Sampson, of the ordnance bureau,
and he has submitted Il report of his
findings to Secretary Herbert, who Is
now considering the rival plans OF the
battle ships
The bureau chiefs and the construction
bureau of the Navy Department differ
radically on several features, one OF the
most essential being as to double-storied
turrets, indorsed by the bureau chiefs,
and sngl e-storied turrets, one in front
for the heavy guns and the other ele-
waited and Just in the rear and contains
ing elght-inCh guns, which is the plan of
the construction bureau.
1t was claimed by the chief of the
ordnance bureau that the eght-inch guns
would be rendered useless in an engage
ment in which the vessel had her bow
or stern toward the enemy, because If
fired over the turret containing the large
guns the blast from the rear guns would
kill the men in the sighting tower
Capt Sampson ordered the test made
Dy having an eight -lnch gun Tired over
an inch steel plate, the thickness of the
plate designed 10 cover the sighting tower
The muzZle of the gun was twenty -four
inches above the plate, and the first charge
bent the plate down in the center four
inches, while a second charge still further
bent the plate eight inches on one end
and nine inches on the other.
This plate was about five by four and
one half feet, and the supports were
equal to those that could be placed on the
ship. This test has caused the officers of
the ordnance bureau to renew their asser-
tion that the concussion of the eight
inch gun would kill the men at work in
the upper portion of the turret, and they
point to it as proof of their views in a
report submitted to the Secretary of the
Navy.
This test adds another feature of per
plexity to the plan of battleships, which
is giving the department considera BILE
trouble
