IIFLED GUN AT FORT HAMILTON, n. Y.
masonry the gun will be laid until the
disappearance carriage. upon which it
will eventually rest, has arrived. The
construction of this masonry was begun
about four years ago.
The new gun was made in the govern
ment arsenal in Troy, n. y. It was
then taken to the proving grounds at
Sandy Hook, where it was tested. 1t
weighs SO tons.
Being 1O-inch gun, it's barrel is COM
paratively small, but it casts pro-
jectile weighing $40 pounds, and re-
quires a charge of a barrel of powder.
At 1000 yards the shot will penetrate 20
inches Of steel. Although the ritled
gun is SO much larger and more power
full than the ordinary smooth-bore guns
with which the fort is equipped, it re-
quires no larger force to man it.
'The carriage will be of cast Steel"
said Lieut.. McGregor, land although
it is called u disappearing carriage, it
is really the gun which disappears.
When in position the gun will be in
| visible behind the parapet, and only
when firing will it rise to view.
''These breecll-loading guns were first
manufactured, 1 believe, by Krupp, in
Essen. The cost of the gun, the car
riage and it's placement I would
| roughly estimate at about S125,O00.
| ''The government intends to protect
the entire water fronts at Forts Hamil-
ton and N'nlSWOrth with those sr1,nS
thus amply protecting the larbor of
New York and making the Narrows
practically impregnable.
'When this gun is in position no
ironclad Of any nation at war with our
country could safely pass OF the further
side Of the Narrows. A single shot from
the ten-inch 1nllzzle would sink it.
Il would not like to make any pos
tive statement concerning the range of
this gun. There is n decided differ
cnce between the extreme range and
the useful range. The last 1000 yards
are far less valuable than the first 1.COO
At the late queens jubilee in England
some talk was occasioned by the firing
| of a shot ten or fifteen miles. But such
q test is practically valucless.

are provided alongside OF the buoy
which supports the machine, for a per-
son to take hold of when in the water

any way, while holding on to these

"This contrivance is most scrvicca-

This would cnly apply to life saving

from that elevated to the Office of as
sistant doorkceper, which position he
has filled until he has come to be rs
much a fixture in the chamber as the
marble clock which, according to cap
itol gossip, he was wont to turn back
at the end of each March session, when
some special legislation was desired to
be completed. His duties embrace the
general housekeeping Of the senate,
the seating of the members and the
actual police work of the sergeant-at-
arms, when that official is called upon
to act in that capacity. 1t was in that
capacity that in his younger days he
had to face the only revolver, save one,
that has ever been drawn in the senate.
1t was in the hands of senator from
one of the small states, who, being very
much intoxicated, was raising a row,
and the sergeant-at-arms was finally
ordered to take him into custody.
When "Bully" Brooks made his mem
orable assault on Charles Sumner, it
was Mr.. Bassctt who assisted the Mas
sachusetts statesman to the cloallroom,
assisted to bathe his wounds and pro-
pare him for removal to his home.
Persons who have visited the senate
chamber any time within the last quar-
ter Of century have noticed 4 pleas
ant-faced old gentleman with white
hair and beard, the former curled care
fully in roll, who sat ut the left of
the presiding officer. When 4 message
was received from the president of the
United States or from the house of rep
the fact to the senate. Although he has
performed this duty for years, he in
variably made as much fuss over it
as though it was his first attempt. His
face would turn scarlet, and, as he
bowed his head to the presiding officer,
there was a q,livcr in his voice as he
uttered the stereotyped formula. This
was accompanied by hesitancy of
speech, as if uncertain whether or not
his remarks would fall on appreciativc
ears. Capt. Dassett has been the re-
cipient of numerous marks of esteem
from the senators. On the anniversary
of his 50th year of service he was pre-
sentcd with a aeautiful silver snuff
box, the presentation being made by
the presiding officer. In 1876, on his
birthday, an oil painting of himself
was presented to him, accompanied by
letter signed by Senator Anthony, ION
behalf of the members of the senate,
irrespective of party" and on the oc-
casion of his golden wedding he was
presented with q handsome silver SAL
yer.

to the chair of dogmatic theology IN
the archdiocesan seminary of philadel-
phia, resigned his appointment in
Rome. and has ever since continued
as member of the faculty i'm the in
stitution at Overbrook. During the pc
riod of attendance us a student at the
American college he was considered
among the most diligent and was re-
garded as among the most distiu-
guished graduates of that famous insti-
tuition. He is said to have made a
most favorable impression upon the a,.-
thorities of the propaganda as n theo-
logian, linguist and disciplinarian. AS
Il pulpit orator he is forceful, eloquent
and effective. The selection of the
rector of the American college rests
with the pope himself, and is usually
made from group of not more than
four names submitted by the four sem
ior members of the American hier-
archy, the cardinal, archbishop of Bal
tilnore, and the archbishops of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. These
prelates present to the vatican the
names of three candidates, usually grad
uatcs OF the American college, who are
respectively Indicated as 'dignissimus,"
"dignior" and "dignus." The propa-
ga!,da considers the qualifications OF
the asprant:, and either submits them
i'll the same form to the pope or ar,
ranges them anew according to what
may be deemed in Rome some especial
work of eligibility. Technically, the
rector is simply the presiding officer
OF the institution. In recent years,
however, the somewhat peculiar posi-
ton of u sort of American envoy has
been put upon the rcGtoi. of the Amer
lean college, and he is regarded as the
medium of communication between Wis
iting Americans in Rome and the holy
see, and all lmc ricans desiring to at.
tend the consislories, private audienccs4
or other functions ut which the pope
is present, address themselves to the
rector of the American college. Owing
to this fact, to the vast number OF
Americans visiting Rome, and to tie
fricndlincss of the present ponti1f to-
ward the people Of the United States
the late rector, Mgr. O'Conncll. grew
to be one of the most conspicuous oil
all the foreign ecclcslstics in Rome
