was given last night in the National
tournament IN New York. Sauer OPP
posed Rehnl and Frercks, of New York,
but was nothing like his usual, form.
and he barly escaped defeat in both con-
tests. He was easily beaten by Rehm in
the second series, after the latter had
lost the first to Frercks. 1t was an even
division. however, as the Jerseyman got
his stride after losing the first two games
OF the final series, and with a dash of
lively work started in by winning the
third game with a margin of ID and a 213
until the sixth frame, when the scores
tied. ana going to the front OF the
seventh won out by a margin of 10. The
deciding game was started by Sauer with
a triple header, and on the fifth frame
he was 50 pins in the lead. This was
reduced somewhat, but Sauer won out

ATKINSON And THE SOUTH
He Talked to Editors of.obliteration
of the Color Line.
This Brings Out Several Antagonistic
Responses, but II e Says They Are
Coming Round on Money Issue.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, OF Boston, who
created stir in Richmond yesterday by i
talk to the members Of the Southern ASso-
ciated Press, was at the Shoreham this
morning.
Mr. Atkinson is known as an expert with
statistics, the inventor Of the Aladdin oven,
and other philanthropic contrivance5 s. and L.
an all round public man, whofrequently gets
into the new spapers. -.
In person, MIR. AtkiHsOnis above medium
height, erect, wcll-propOrtioned, has white
hair and beard light, florid complexion.
and clear blue eyes. He was dressed sty-
hshly. with Eight overcoat and hat, but
wore shoe far removed from the toothpick
patti ern.
The report from Richmond is that he re-
viewed the results OF the late election when
asked to speak before the Southern Asso-
ciated Press and talked at some length
about the negro and the solid South. He
thought the solid South had been broken
for good and that race prejudice had been
overcome. His remarks contained some
rather sharp criticisms of Southern meth
DDS.
When he had finished Messrs. Evan How
ell OF the Atlanta Constitution, j. ii. Estill
of the Savannah News and Michael Glen
nan of the Norfolk Virginian made brief
replies, in which they were courteous to
their guest, but said plainly that his
structures upon Southern men and things
We're not acceptable.
MIR. AtKiusOm stopped long enough to say
OF the Richmond report:
Its all rubbish. l happened to be in
Richmond, and Mr. Howells, whom l have
Known for a long time, invited me To speak
We were perfectly agreed upon the main
question-the financial problem. The rest
amounted to nothing"
1t Will be cheering news to friends Of
sound money to learn that Mr.. Atkinson
in one speech converted three Southern
editors from the silver hcresy, so that they
agree with him on financial topics.

New York, Nov 2O-A Sun special from
Atlantic Highlands, N. j., says: The Moni-
tor Terror, OF the United States navy, did
yesterday what no other ship in the United
States navy ever did. She fired solid shot
at sea from her four 10-inch guns in one
yofey.
All the guns went off as one piece. They
were fired by electricity from the bridge.
Nearly ,OOOpounds OF powder were burned
in doing it, and ton OF metal was hurled
intothe deep. That volley representeda about
$500 worth Of f'material destroyed.
The recoil OF the four guns represented
no less than 56 ,U0O-root tons. and yet the
Terror showed scarcely n trenIor as the
guns plunged back from the discharge,
and tten slid into their places.
a TREMENDOUS POWER
That same energy would have lifted q
ton 56 900 feet into the air. This reveals
the possibilities Of such craft as the
Terror, whose largest guns are Of the To-
inch size.
Eight years ago Secretary Whitney of
the Navy Department signed contract
with the Pneumatic Gun Carriage and
Power Company OF Washington to supply
pneumatic system of steering and operat-
ing the machinery OF the turrets in the Ter
ror- No vessel in the world had ever made
use or pneumatic system in steering or
operating turrets ana Secretary Wbitney's
contract was good deal OF an experiment..
1t was not until Tuesday and yesterday
that any test was made or the system.
The Terror is still the only vessel in the
world so equipped and upon the result Of
this test may depend important changes in
handling big guns on warships and in
steering all kinds OF large vessels
SATISFACTORY TEST.
The trial was not fully completed, but
so Tar as ii went it was complete sue
cess for the pneumatic system.
owing to q lack OF familiarity with the
machinery by the TerrOr's crew the test
in consecutive firing by yolIcys from the
four lt-:nch guns was not finished. / is
tremendous thing OF itself 20 fire from
any ship 5uO-pOund proiectile backed by
40 pounds OF gunpowder. 1t is a still
more tremendous tmng To fire four such
guns at once.

WRECKED IN THE STORM.
Crew of the ship Patriclan Saved
Just in Time

San Francisco, Nov. 2O.-Capt. T. II.
Sterling, master OF the American ship
Patrician, arrived yesterday on the steamer
Alameda, from sydney en- route to New
York, to report the loss OF his ship. The
Patrlcian was on her way from New
Castle 10 Littleton, y. $, when a hurricane
was run into. Sail after sail was blown
away and the decks Were flooded. The
mizZenmast snapped off short and carried
away half the m anmast.
For a short time the foremast stood and
the lower topsail on the manmast held
Then the storm renewed its strength and
tore the lower topsaiil out OF the bolt
ropes and carried away part of the fore
mast. The Patrican began to leak and
Capt. Sterling set the American flag,

All the boats We're gone and Just when
the crew had given up. the British steamer

HE KILLED A DOG.
And Because of This a Mississippi
Mob Attacked a Colored Man,

Columbus. Miss, Nov. 20.-An outrageous
crime was committed abuutfivc miles north
of this city Wednesday night, when the
house OF Sanders Swarrcngen, a peaCeable
negro, was surrounded by a mob Of white
men. who set fire to the barn where his
cotton was stored. and then fired his house.
In the meantime members OF the mob
began shooting at Swarrengen. who tried to
defend himself with a shot gun. The gun
failed to work, however. and Swarrengcn
ran TO the house of Thomas BleYett, a
white man, living nearby.
Blewett's daughters We're so frightened
by the shots and the sight OF the fleeing
negro, that they ran to the woods in their
night clothes. One Of the ringleadcrs is in
Jail. and a party of citizens are hunting the
rest of the gang.
The reason the party give for the attack
is that the negro killed dog belonging to
one of the Fenderbcrgs' boys some time ago.
