The disappearing gun battery at
Fort Adams. consisting Of two 10-inch
disappearing guns, was given a firing
test yesterday, the first gun being fired
at 1925 o'clock. and one hour later the
second gun was fired. The test was
made for the purpose of assuring the
engineer corps that its work had been
properly performed, and as far as can
be ascertained the tests resulted very
satisfactorily.
The emplacement upon which the
guns stand was started last spring.

Washington, Sept. 9.-The president
today named Senator George c. Gray
of Delaware as the fifth member OF the
peace commission. This completes the
personnel OF the commission, which
stands: Secretary Day, Senators Davis.
Frye and Gray and Hon. whiteIaw
Reid.
In selecting Senator Gray the presi-
dent has given the Democrats repre-
sentation on the commission. The ap-
pointment probably will necessitate the
retirement OF Mr.. Gray from the Anglo
American commission, which is con-
Quoting its sessions in Canada. as this
commission will resume its work about
the time the peace commissioners Will
sail for Paris. The position was offered
to the senator several. days ago, but at
that timerwas declined. The president,
however, urged Mr.. Gray to accept and
his final agreement was secured today.
Senator Gray is one OF the best known
men in public life. He was born at
Newcastle, Del, in 1910. and was grad
uated at Princeton. He served as at
torney general OF Delaware and later
was appointed TO the senate when
Thomas #. Bayard entered the first
Cleveland cabinet as secretary of state.
Mr. Gray has been in the senate con-
tinuously since then. He Is a member
of the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, thus making three members of
that committee on the peace commits
sion. On foreign questions Mr.. Gray
has generally been regarded as opposed
to expansion, his senate votes having
been against the annexation OF Hawaii.
