AN OLD-TIME CHAIN SHOT.
Ancient Relic Found in Restoring
Independence Hall.
From the Phlladelphla Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
All the relics of the historic times when
the nation was young that are in indie
pendence hall are not in the curio hail by
any means. This interesting fact has re-
Gently been discovered by the workmen
engaged upon the restoration of the old
/ building to its appearance in 1776, who have
found hidden away in the most unexpect-
ed recesses quaint reminders of bygone
days
one of the most interesting of the nu-
merous articles found was dug out of a
niche in the wall of what in more recent
years was the Office of the high sheriff of
the county. 1t was a well-preserVed spe-
cimen of the chain shot an abortiye sort
Of life-destroyer that even If the laws
of modern warfare did not prohibit its use,
would be retired by the efficiency of mod
ern rihed guns. The chain shot was sup
posed to be terrible projectile, but it's
get-up after all was simple enough.
It consisted of bomb shell divided into
four quarters, neatly fitted together and
in its hollow inside were strong iron
chains holding the fragments with per-
haps six inches of slack. This shot, fired
from one of the old smooth-bore cannons,
was supposed to fly open after leaving the
gun, and the quarters swinging on their
lengths of chain We're expected to cut down
whole files of troops at one swoop.
Several solid shot were found of a cali
Der that might have fitted any one of the
six brass cannons captured from Bur-
goyne at Saratoga. from which the Ameri-
cans modelled their guns. These and some
shrapnel shot. together with lock from
an Old h.nt-Ock mUsket. were the princi-
pal finds. One of the shells Is said to
have been found loaded, and it is handled
with great care, for the Americans had
powerful powder in colonial days.
just how this collection of mscellane-
GUS relics Of a warliSe past got into hid
den corners of the old structure is a mys-
terry. Il is said that there are more in
the building west Of the hall proper, and
@ S IL rs demolished the workmen will keep
a sharp lookout for all such finds and turn
them over to the keeper of the curio hall.

Improvement. So, 100000 is asked,
in place of $22, ,914,816 asked a year
ago. The responsibility rests with
congress to decide whether, until the
sufficiency of the revenue has been
established, such extensive increase
of appropriation should be made.
Secretary Cages department reduces
its estimate for department service
and public works by $I,043,000, and
increases its estimate for miseellane-
Gus expenses by $786,OOO, making a
net decrease. The department. of
agriculture asks an increase of $500,+
600, while in the estimate for foreign
intercourse there is decrease. The
estimate for the navy department
shows decrease of $2,35O, 900, and
the interior department. shows small
decrease in public works. The esti-
mate for pensions is slightly reduced,
and expenditures for the department
of justice and the estimate for the
District of Columbia are reduced
about 100000. A decrease is also
made in the estimate for interest on
public debt. The great increase
asked is for public works, and that
increase alone would turn a comforta-
BILE surplus into deficit if the reve-
nue. proves as large as Secretary
Gage estimates.

by force of arms Florida came TO us from
a sovereign who was ruling In defiance of
the constitution and against the wishes OF
his people, and was kept upon the throne
by foreign powers. We acquired California
and all that vast region from Mexico

which had few months before seized gov

and in a little while was driven from
power by another,
Touched by Our Civilization.
"We have an equitable right to Hawaii"
said Mr. Foster. "Our citizens have con-
tributed millions upon millions of dollars
to the development OF the islands. We
have raised the country from barbarism.
We have given that people civilization,
written language, schools, government.
We taught their kings the very art of gov
eminent. We have given life and pros
perity to those islands 1t Is today yirtu'
ally an American colony. The paramount
influence is American. Four times in its
past history ha a foreign flag fioated at
Honolulu-first the Russian, then the
French, afterward the British, and again
the French. Any one of these powers
would gladly assume sovereignty again,
and to them Is to be added as menace
the rising power of Japan.
"In my opinion, we should not admit
Hawaii as a state, but as part OF the ter
ritory of the United States to be organized
in such way as congress may afterward de-
termine. When the annexation of Louisi-
ana was first suggested, Mr.. Jefferson
thought it could be accomplished only by
a change of the constitution, but he after
ward was glad to approve the treaty, and
nothing further was heard of the consti
tutional objection. No constitutional Oh
lection kept us from acquiring Alaska
We already have three forms of territorial
poyernment-in Alaska, in the territories
and i'm the District of Columbia To ont
or other of these forms Hawaii would ad
mirably fit. We should lose no time II
gaining possession of this important out
post in the Pacific.

WASHINGTON, March Special. J.
One of the most interesting lectures heard
in Washington in many days was that de-
liyered by ex-Secretary of State John w.
Foster before the Geographical society Fri
day night 1t Is considered very impor-
tant, too, in a political sense, because Mr..
Fosters position is very high in this coun-
try, and in this lecture he openly advocat-
ed the annexation of Hawaii. AS former
secretary of state, as former minister TO
Madrid, to st. Petersburg and the City OF
Mexico, as confidential adviser of the state
department, as negotiator of the treaty of
peace between japan and China and as a
prospective ambassador from this nation
to Turkey Mr.. Fosters words carry great
weight, and are attracting much attention
throughout the world.
Mr. Foster spoke Of the changed rela-
tons of the Pacific ocean to the outside
world during the last generation. Within
our recollection the great empire of China
was practically closed 10 foreign commerce.
Japan was Theoretically sealed against the
outside world. Australia had hardly
emerged from convict colony. Polynesia
was still in barbarism and the whole coast
of northwest America contained but few
