MIR White was congratulating himself
Friday on the fact that at any time he
could have proven the absence Of a quo
rum by simply making the demand. but
Mr.. White will find a different state OF
affairs this week. Several of the annex
ationists, taking it for granted that the
resolutions would not be called up until
tomorrow, went out of town on sunday
They will be here tomorrow and have
pledged themselves 10 stay.
There viii be no debate on the part Of
those favoring the resolutions possibly be-
yOnd the statement of Chairman Davis
when he calls them UP. The burden of
consuming the time OF the Senate viii be
cast upon the opponents OF annexation.
and il IS not believed they can furnish the
material for a discussion that will last
more than a fortnight, if. indeed. it runs
So long as that. Outside Of Senator's

there are few senator's who will be active.

well developed powers for sustained and
prolonged talking. ii is not believed either
gentleman will seriously stand in his
place and oppose the overwhelming SEMI

number of constitutional questions and
may succeed in forcing the other side 10
reply to him. He is a forcefuI speaker and
has given this subject much study during
the past two years. His ability and his
resistance are not to be undereStimated.
but Mr.. White like the wise statesman
that he is. will see the futility of combat
ing against that which cannot be over
thrown, and Of merely postponing that
which must certainly be met.

Firing Gums Under Water.


For several days experiments have been
in progress at Tybee with a gun that
shoots under water. Heretofore it has
been claimed that 1t was absolutely i'm
possible to discharge a cannon or any
other weapon in which gunpSwder is
used. under water. the result OF such an
attempt being the bursting of the wea-
pom used.
Mr. Harry Gallager. of this city. believes
he has surm0unted all the obstacles in the
way and will soon have an invention that
meets all needs. 50 far as the successful
discharge Of DrOjectiles under water IS
concerned.
Mr. GaIlager has been working on this
invention ever since the war broke out.
His idea IS that with such a weapon as
he has in view a shell can be thrown
against the unarmored part of an iron
clad below the water line. and the YES
sci readily sunk. He has progressed far
enough in his experiments TO believe that
success is assured Heavy cannon balls
have been thrown a distance OF nearly
200 feet under water by his invention. and
when 1t is perfected he expects % be able
10 send destructive bombs many times
that distance.
The experiments at Ty5ee have been
made with small cannon. placed on the
beach ready to fire When the cannon
was completely submerged 4 AanN ara

cannon discharged. After the :',ie lad
gone down the projectiie was hunted up
and the distance il had gone Inder water
measured. system of valves prevent
the water from entering the gun after the
discharge. The experiments will be con-
tinued until the invention is perfected.
The attention of the government will be
drawn to it if what is hoped for is achiey-
ed
"A boat like the Kathadin. which is .x-
pected to ram a vessel of the enemy. could
be armed with one of these guns, below
the water line said Mr.. Gallager. In
| discussing his invention. 1T could be
aimed and fired by the officer on deck by
/ electricity. The projectile, loaded with
/ gun cotton or other high explosive, strik-
/ ing the enemy's ship below the water line
! would do such damage as to sink II in a
/ short time. This would accomplish what

site of the proposed bridge the evening
before. and the only signs of life which
he saw was mule-perhaps one of
Blanco's mules, he said There seemed
to be no necessity for bridge there.
He was surprised az the ominous silence
of Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, who, when the
question was before the House several
months ago. denounced it with a vigor
and convincing logic that was unan-
swerabIe. Mr.. King remarked that II
was not the first time that vicious legis
lation had been sanctified and cIeansed
by the action of the Senate.
Mr.. Hepburn replied that he was of
the same opinion as Ia the measure but
he was not in the habit of reiterating his
speeches He suggested that Mr.. King
might profit by the example in that re-
spect
Mr.. Grout. in concluding the argument,
said that since 1892 appropriations had
been made for the improvement of Massa-
chusetts Avenue beyond Rock Creek, ag-
gregating $4,000, 1t was the manifest
purpose of Congress in spending this mon
ey TO. in time, span the chasm at Rock
Creek with bridge, which was needed
for the Naval Observatory and the Meth
odist University. to say nothing of public
and private interests He added:
If we (the House) still further insist
in our disagreement to this amendment
we win be compelled to yield in the end
The Senate, he said, would not consent
TO the defeat of the amendment. He re-
iterated the opinion that the bridge ought
| to be commenced at once.
The motion to concur was adopted by
| a vote of As to 10. but Mr.. Simpson and
| several others made the point of no quo
| rum.
BY unanimous consent it was agreed
| that the yeas and nays should be con-
| sidered and ordered on the Massachusetts
| Avenue bridge amendment and at p. m,
| by special order memorial services in
honor of the late Senator Harris OF Ten
| nessee were begun.
| The conference report will probably be
| again taken up next Monday The first
| thing will be a call of the roll on the

| that it will be rejected.

The long continued life of that vener-
able and valuable eclectic, The Living
Age, is another instance of the survival of
the tittest, in that it, the best of all, has
absorbed or survived every one of its
numerous rivals or imitators. Its present
vitality is evidenced by the announcement
that The Eclectic Magazine of New York
its oldest and most important competitor,
WILL with the issue of January 1899, be
consolidated with The Living Age and be
hereafter known as The Electic Magazine
and Monthly Edition of The Living Age
This remarkable success of The Living
Age is owing to the fact it enables one
with comparatively small outlay of time
and money to keep pace with the best
thought and literature of the day. Hence
its importance to every American reader.
The magazine has never better fulfilled
the purpose indicated by its title than
during the past year Its weekly issue
has enabled it to give its readers promptly
the views of the ablest British and Con
tinental journals, magazines and reviews,
upon all questions of general interest
In monthly supplement a department
was introduced two years ago giving
''Readings from New Books" This will
be continued, and new editorial depart
ment devoted to notes on "Books and
Authors added. The prospectus for
1899 is we'll worth the attention of
all who are'selecting their reading matter
for the new year. To new subscribers
remitting now for $780, the intervening
numbers Of 1898 are sent gratis.
