Announcement Made by the Boston
Rubber Shoe Company.

HuDDef ShOe company.
BOSTON. March 15.-What appears to he
serious split in the United States Rubber
Company was disclosed today, when Treas
urer Leland of the Boston Rubber Shoe
Company said:
The Boston Rubber Shoe Company Will
conduct its business without conference
with other rubber boo: and shoe manufac-
turers.'
Mr.. Leland added tnat this does not
mean that the position of the company is
antagonistic toward any other company,
and will not be so unless it becomes neces-
sary to protect its trade. He does not think
that such action will be necessary.
The announcement of the stand taken by
the company has been followed by the an
rouncement that jobbers all over the east
have been notified Of a reduction of from
i to 15 per cent on different grades of
goods manufactured by the Boston Rubber
Company. representative CT the United
States Rubber Company said that the
United States Rubber Company would
probably at once make the same reduction
as the Boston Company, not with a view
of fighting it, but merely to enable the
own.
NEW YORK. March 15.-Charles r.
Flint treasurer of the United States Rub
Der Company, reasserted today the state
ment made at the Lexow hearing that no
agreement as to prices existed between the
United States and Boston rubber compa-
MES, and therefore, he said, the Boston
Company was free to act as it's trustees
saw fit regarding the price list. Mr. Flint
added:
THE most friendly relations exist be-
tween the officers Of the United States
Rubber Company and those of the Boston
Shoe Company. and / am satisfied that all
the parties, as they have done in the past
will furnish standard goods at prices which
will leave reasonable profit to the share
holders of the respect tive companies"

ing was found, the appar atus was lana,
ed and set up-no easy task, but the WuIo
impossible seems hardly to exist IN
the nava! vocabulary and the good Will
of both officers and sailors TO be mex
haustibIe. Boring began on June 3. At
first fair progress was made. though the
material pierced presented some unex-
pected difficulties. 1t was anticipated
that whatever might be the nature OF
the upper portion of the atOll, zone OF
consolidated coral rock would be reached
at very moderate depth, which wouin pe
as easy to deal with as an rd1nary II me-
stone. The carbonate drill, or even the
cutters of hardened steel, whichshad been
taken for Alternative use, would readily
make their way through this, and
provided continuous cora for exam1na-
tion. No such material was found.
AT depth of so feet they struck coral
rock, but even there il was very far from
solid; for it was, to use Prof. Sollas's
words, like coarse sponge of coral
with wide interstices either empty or
filled with sand. This continued for
thickness of SO feet, when material like
a EquicE sand was struck. With. this
nothing could be done; it clogRed the
crown and clicked the lining plpe. With
great difficulty-for here and there
bowlder-liks mass of coral was met with
they forced the tubes down another 70
feet, tosa depth of s1o5 feet in all, and
then the experts declaredf further progress
impossible. A second attempt v, was , made e
the surface appeared exceptionally strong
But thnt Jared no better. At less
depth than bsfore-65 feet-, they, fell in
with their old enemy, and found it oven
more intractable, SO that they had to
cease work at a still more moderate
depth. Time.and resources We're now
running short-it- was hopeless to try
again, and, the expeditionllefu the island

Steel Jacketed Bullets.
o the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
A bill has been introduced nt Augusta,
the object of which Is to prohibit the use
in hunting, of the small steel jacketed
bullet that is just now coming intosex-
tensive use in rifle shooting. The OBJ
lection to 1t is that it's range is so much
greater than the ordinary bullets that
accidental shootingssis more likely to &C.
cur in the woods. The promoters of this
scheme seem to be acting upon the idea
that this increase Of range is due to the
metal jacket This is mistaken idea
as a momsnt's thought will show to any
one experienced in rife shooting. The
metal jacket will not add one rod to the
distance bullet will 90 in the open
field. 1t is made for different purpose.
A naked leaden bullet of the same size
and shape would be carried just as far as
a jacketed one with the same charge of
powder behind. The fact Is they have
gotten hold of the wrong end; it ia the
charge Of powder that governs the dis
tance it will go and that is what they
must regulate, not the bullet. It is to
be hoped that the legislature will not
burden the statutes with such senseless
enactments. b.
