A GUN SCANDAL.
Sensational Developments Promised in q
Hearing Before Governor Morton

Sensational Developments Promised in
Hearing Before Governor Morton.
Albany, N. Y, Sept. 2S.-Sensational
developments are promised at "a hearing
to be had before Governor Morton next
month. For the past few weeks Govern
or Morton has received number of pro-
tests from gun manufacturers against
his approval of the report of the special
committee which he appointed to select a
gun for the rearmament of the National
Guard of the state. This commission, at
ter testing a dozen guns of different man
ufacture, submitted a strong report to
the governor in favor of the gun manu-
featured by the Savage Arms company of
Utica Many of the other competitors in
the gun test before the special commits
sion have filed protests with the govern
or against his approving the report. They
allege collision with regard to the selec-
ton of the Savage gun, and claim they
have evidence which would tend to show
that favoritism was exercised in the tests
which led to its selection.
The Winchester Arms company of New
Haven are the principal movers in the
endeavor to upset the report of the COM
mission before the governor. II is under
stood that Benjamin f. Tracy of New
York and David WEIGH of New York have
been retained to represent the Winches-
ter company before the governor. At
the latter'S request Governor Morton has
agreed to give the protestants a hearing
next week on Wednesday at II 80 o'clock.
If the governor should approve the report
the Acknowledgement, in pursuance of a
legisla tive enactment, Is authorized to
contract for 15, 600 rifles, at a cost of $780,
600, with which to re-arm the state mill

THE QUEEN is NO dummy"
Some Of the Prerosativcs of the British
Sovereign.

Some Of the Prerosatives of the British
Sovereign.
People on this side OF the water are
apt to attach too much credence to the
oft-repeated but somewhat falla-
cious assertion that the queen Of Eng
land has no power; is a mere figure
head, in fact, and nothing but q consti-
tutional puppet in the hands of the
cabinet for the time being. 1t is often
stated that the president of the United
States is possessed of far more execu-
tive power and prerogatives than her
British majesty. This is, according to
the New York World, great mistake.
The English sovereign has retained far
more power than people realize. For
instance, she has the power to dismiss
every soldier in the army, from the
commander-in-chief down to the
youngest drummer. She could disband
the navy in the same way, and sell the
ships, stores and arsenals to the first
buyer that presented himself.
Acting on her own responsibility, she
could declare war against any foreign
power or make a present of any sec
tion of the empire over which she rules
to any foreign power. Acting strictly
within her prerogative, she could make
every man, woman and child in the
country peer or peeress of the realm
with the right in the case of males
who are of age to a seat and vote
i'll the house of lords. With a single
word or stroke of the pen she could dis
miss any cabinet that was in power
and could, moreover, pardon and lib
crate every criminal of any grade that
is confined in the British penitentiaries'
These are only few of the things
