BIG GINS FOR THE SOUTH.

According to q story in the New
York Journal of the 1st instant, the
war department has shipped a train
load of heavy guns south for the coast
defences, and a number of these will
be sent to Charleston, presumably for
the forts on Sullivan's island. The
Journal says:
Positive assurance comes from Or
dnance circles of the army that the
war department has ordered the hur-
rying up of the shipment of all heavy
guns now under construction for coast
defences. In compliance with this or
der the heaviest train of modern coast
battery ever sent out over an Ameri-
can railroad has just been dispatched
from the great Bethlehem Gun works
by the Lehigh Valley road.
1t is said that the guns are destined
for the ports of Key West, Pensacola,
Charleston and Mobile. Ordinarily
the guns for Key West would have
been shipped by schooner from New
York, but the hurry.up orders OF the
war department do not, it is declared,
admit of this slower route.
Sixteen heavy rifles, eight-inch and
len-lnch guns, constitute the train
load sent out for immediate mounting
at southern ports. As the train speeds
southwark cars will be detached out
side of Charleston and further on at
Jacksonville. The Jacksonville cars
will carry the rifles destined for Key
West. The cars will be run over the
Florida roads to Tampa bay, and
there swung on board of steamer.
From Tampa the guns will be convey
ed to Key West.
The Pensacola guns will be mounted
in the new works recently thrown up
at the entrance to that port. The Mo
bile guns will likewise 60 into brand
new works.
The train sent out from Bethlehem
is only the forerunner, it is said, OF
trains which may be expected to leave
the yards of that great establishment
from now on at short intervals. Six
hundred massive cannon are under
construction at the Bethlehem Works,
and of this number no less than fifty
are twelve-inch, fifty ton guns. AS
the cost of a gun is, roughly, 81 900 a
ton, the contract which the Bethlehem
works is filling for the war department
is something over s4,O00,00O.
The ten-inch guns weigh about thir-
ty-five tons and the eight-inch guns
about twenty tons. The cost of a
twelve-inch gun is about $4,000.
Everything in connection with the
work now rushing ahead for the de-
fence of the coast is being kept secret
by the war department. Tracks are
being laid from the principal railroads
leading direct into the various forts
along the coast. BY this arrangement
the guns can be hauled to and set down
in their permanent firing carriages.
The arrangement permits of still an
other great advantage. In time of

"Is who dead?' asked Virginia,
amazed at the question.

"Is who dead?" asked Virginia,
amazed at the question.
"Your uncle, Mr.. Lewis" replied
Alice, at which Virginia was so bewil-
dered that she stood speechless. Know
ing that the fact of her uncle's death
had been so recently discovered and also
that Alice had not left her own room,
Virginia was at O loss to understand
how she had become aware Of the true
state Of affairs. It occurred to her that
perhaps, after all, the maidservant had
Informed Alice, but in that case 1t
should have been known also by Mrs.
Marvel, whereas that lady had acted in
a way which precluded the suppositlon
that the news had reached her ears
Recovering somewhat from the first ef-
fects of her surprise, she asked:
Chow did you know that be is dead?'
Alice started at this question, and
then, as though awakening from a
dream, replied:
"I don't know what have been
saying. I think I was dreaming when
you CdIu6 III duu-eAao "ehu = <AoSS
have continued aloud what was passing
through my mind"
"Your dream, then, is wonderfully
near the truth, for my uncle was found
dead this morning, and he has undoubt-
edly been murdered"
"Murderedl My God, this is fright
fulp' With convulsive tremor, which
passed over her whole frame, Alice lay
back and buried her face in her pillow.
Virginia gazed at her, not knowing how
to construe her agitation. A moment
later Alice, with. one bound, leaped
,1om the bed and, rushing up to Vir-
Kinia, exclaimed excitedly:
"You say he was murdered. How do
you know it? Who can prove it? Did
any one see it? Who did it? Who did it,,
say? Tell me'-
"Hush! Do you know what you are
saying? If any one heard you, it would
be suspected'-
"What would be suspected? What is

Busher was accorded novel funeral

"Murderedl My God, this Is frtghtfnl"
It'll Stop it INSTANTLY" Taking Alice by
the shoulders, she shook her, and by
her words and manner Virginia at
length subdued somewhat the intensity
of her friends excitement. Then occur
red the inevitable reaction. Alice threw
herself on the bed and abandoned her
self to a wild paroxysm of tears. Vlr-
ginia endeavored to calm and soothe
her, but for long time her attentions
only aggravated the hysterical sobbing.
After awhile, however, she became
more quiet and Virginia sought an ex-
planation..
"Now, Alice" said she, "you must
tell me how you knew that my uncle is
dead"
"Hush! I cannot tell you. cannot
I cannot"
"But you must. Evidently you know
something about this, and you must
tell me"
"It is impossible. "
"Can you not trust me? Come. Alice,
you must be reasonable. We are vast
ing time that is most precious. Do you
know who is or will be suspected of
this crime?"
"Do you know? Then tell mel" said
Alice in feverish anxiety.
"Listen. There are two detectives"-
"Whatl Already?" interrupted Alice
in terrified voice. "And you say they
suspect some one?'
"Alice, you, too, suspect some one.
Who is it? If you and the detectives sus-
pect the same man, will help to shield
him. You know that
"Him? Whom do you mean?" Now
it seemed that Alice was puzzled.
"Whom do I mean? Who was it that
quarreled with my uncle? Who was it
that threatened to kill him?"
"My God, you mean my brotherp'
Alice sank in chair and sat staring
like one in trance. Finally, by a great
effort, she aroused herself and seemed
to regain her self possession.

thousand fantastic ways. Therefore it
is not strange that when you startled
me I should have addressed you as /

you announce that all which my imag-
ination had pictured was really true"
"Undoubtedly, Alice, but it is a
strange coincidence that you should

in your thoughts?'

war and Immediately succeeding an
action, should any of the guns be
seriously injured, they will be lifted
by cranes to a railway truck and sent
at full speed to the nearest gun estab-
lishment.
At the rate the gun establishments
are turning out guns it will be but
few months before all the principal
ports of the country are In readiness
to receive an attack. The Bethlehem
works are doing the greater part of
the gun construction. This is owing
to the presence in that establishment
of hammer weighing 1875 tons, which
makes it comparatively easy for the
Bethlehem people to turn out heavy
gun forgings.
The government plant at Watervliet,
West Troy, N. Y, is also rushing on
big orders, and a number of other
plants are engaged. The ports like
New York, San Francisco and Boston
would even now be able to put up
first-class fight against an attacking
feet. The principal concern of the
war department regards the exposed
southern ports, which have received
scant attention up to the present.
The value of many of the southern
harbors becomes magnifed when they
are viewed in the light of bases of sup
plies for forces operating against Cuba.
The guns just sent out from Bethle-
hem are ready for mounting and fir
ing. The pieces have all been proof
fired on the Bethlehem range. The
firing was carried on under the direc-
tion of John F. Meigs, formerly lieu
tenant of the navy and one of the best
known artillerists in the country. The
inspection work for the war depart
ment was conducted by Captain Ira
McNutt, of the ordnance corps of the
army.
The eight-inch guns have range of
81 miles, and ten-inch guns range Of
about 123 miles. In addition to the
heavy rifles the establishment is at
work on large order for rifle motars.

AFRAID OF THE BILL.

The Baltimore American 10 q Re-
publican and strong protectionist
but it fears the effect the new tariff
bill will have on the country and the
harm it will do the Republican party,
and therefore. registers lis protests
against the excessive duties carried by
the party, as follows:
IF the Republicans in Congress 30
too far IN TIE piling up Of duties the
party might just is we'll prepare to
lose the next Congress. The danger
of excess is in the reaction. This Is
true not only in politics, bnt III bust
ness. If tile Democrats should win,
there would be more tariff agitation,
and the country would again be
plunged into uncertainty and hand
times, ever if a Republican President
were in the chair. Protection is not
prohibition. 1t is not a Chinese wall.
and it is not the extravagances nf
districts d~ovetailed into a tariff bill"
The American had as we'll attempt
to whistle down the wind az to try to
secure a reduction Of the tariff rates.
The present Republican Congress is
controlled as completely by the trusts
and combines as though that body
were carried on their pay rolls. The
great corporations have written their
demands to tie france committee OF
the Senate and they will get what they
want. The Baltimore American may
say that protection is not prohibition,
nor a Chinese wall, but it will discov-
er, in the course of the next three or
four months. that the DIngley-Aldii ch-
Allison tariff bill was framed for the
purpose Of fencing out foreign trade in
order that millions of helpless consul
mers IN this country may be easily
and thoroughly plundered.
The bill was not drawn for the pur-
pose Of securing venue for the sup
port of the government, as is shown
BIZ the duty of 200 per cent on silk,
the duty of 2S2 per cent on pocket
knives and other schedules. in which
the rates have been increased 50
enormously as to he absolutely prolii-
bitory and render it impossible for the
government to derive any ~cvenu
from custom receipts. Our Baltimore
c~ontempory has good reasons to fear
the results of such, an outrageous tar
lift. because 1t will not only give the
Democrats the next Congress, but with
its own weight will crush the party
responsible for Its enactment.-States.

A prayer ought to be a solemn thing.
1t was anything but solemn in the
Senate a day or two ago. says the
Washington Post: REV Hugh
Johnson was the acting chaplain. In
the course Of his prayer he thanked
God for the glorious era of prosperity
which was sweeping over the country.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, whose
head vas reyerently bent. smiled as
these words fell upon his ear. He
could not help it. Senator Vest al
most laughed out loud. All the
Democrats were visibly amused; nor
was there a sober face among the Re-
publicans. 1t was quite evident that
the Senator'S regarded the clergyman's
gratitude as being a little premature.
