A new type of armor for warships has
been devised by p. r. de F. d'Burny, a
French civil engineer, of Chicago. His
idea is to secure in a steel box thin plates
of steel with the edges presented to the
fire of the enemy. and h advantages
claimed are cheapness, ease and quick
ness Of manufacture and the ability 10
replace a damaged box at sea. He also
claims greater resistance than solid ar
NOR. A trial at Indian Head failed to
make good the claim for resistance. One
shot from a six-lnch rifle, with a velocity
of Zoo feet PEI second, broke up a target
of nickel steel. Harveylzed plates, so
made. and six inches thick. But the
projectile also broke up before getting
through. n failed to penetrate the oak

October 9Th, an uncommon though not
unprecedented incident happened. The
Yarrawonga was nearing Cape Bojador
when the wind freshened from off land
n the steamer became enveloped in a
cloud of red dust. For several hours
everything about the ship was smothered
in a fine red-tinted grit. In some of the

dust from the high lands on the seacoast
has come aboard their vessels when they

SULTAN WANTS SAID PAsHA
British Ambassador Refuses to Yield the
Fugitive Councillor
Enterstate Whist Learue.

Constantinople, Dec. 6-The feature
of the political situation here today is
the step taken by Said Pasha, president
of the council of state in seeking ref
uge. accompanied by his son, in the
British embassy. An investigation of
the affairs shows that the sultan yes
terday sent a special messenger to Said
Pasha. inviting him TO occupy the
Chatelet, within the grounds of Yildiz
park. which was formerly occupied by
Midhat PaSfa, who was tried on sus-
picion of having been connected with
the murder of the late sultan Abdul
AZiZ. Fully aware of the significance
Of this invitation, Said Pasha. declined.
Abdul Hamid. ii seems. believed that
Said Pasha was trying to influence the
council of state to declare him Cthe sui
tam suffering from weakness of mind
This enraged Abdul Hamid, and while
it may not have been a plan to actually
murder the latter, nobody doubts that
II he had been enticed into the Vildiz
chatelet, he would have at least re-
manned there close prisoner for a time

and begged the ambassador to do his
utmost TO induce Said Pasha to return
to his home. The British ambassador
however, refused to surrender the Of
ficer. He added that Said Pasha. had
asked for asylum and that his request
had been granted.
London. Dec. THE Consta tinopls
correspondent of the Times says: IN
declining the appointments of grand
viZier, Said Pasffa asked the sultan's
permission. on the ground of bad health,
to retire and live quietly abroad. This
ranked in The Sutan's mind and in
duced a paroxysm of anger and Said
Pasha. who is neither novice nor a
coward. is persuaded that the sultan
would have killed him had he entered
the Yildiz palace. The secret of the
whole business Is that Said is so popular
and so highly esteemed that he is fear
ed that he might join the nlalcontent
party. He had always been regarded
as the most anti-EngliSn OF all the pa
shas. Munir. the new ambassador to
Paris, was formerly the head political
spy.

sultan has returned TO his youthful hsb-

floor of the building a large quantity

The only way to reach the blaze with
effect was through the roof and the
work of cutting that away while I'M

explosives, was extremely dangerous.
In a very short time a large hole was
made and great pillar of smoke rush

The loss on the building and contents
is estimated at $4,000. much Of which

Chicago, H., Dec. 6.-The appellate
court has handed down an important
decision in the case of Waldeck Lodge,

LAKE ERIE WOULD BE RAISED
United States Engineer PronouDces the
Plan Entirely Feasible.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. Colonel ia
red A. Smith, the United States engi-
neer stationed at Cleveland, said today
concerning the proposition of Senator
Brice that the level of Lake Erie be
raised by means of a dam at Buffalo.
The scheme is entirely practicable
and l have thought for some time that
it ought to be carried into effect. /
have not studied the matter, but there
are no engineering difficulties in the
way. This country and Canada would
have to reach an agreement in the
matter The expense would be very
small as compared with the widespread
results and the level could be raised
three feet or fifteen feet if desired
The amount of loss this season, ow-
ing 10 vessels running aground at the
head of the lake. and to the necessarily
decreased cargOes, is very heavy.
