STATE LEGISLATURE.
Cecil Race Track Gambling Bill.

In the State Senate on Wednesday the
bill to prohibit gambling Of any kind on
horse racing in Cecil county, introduced by
Senator A. L. Crothers, passed its second
reading after having been amended by the
Committee on Judicial Proceedings, at the
request of Senator Crothers, SO as to refer
to Cecil county only. So far as Cecil
county is concerned, this bill supersedes
the general law in regard to horse race
gambling. Senator Westcott, in speaking
OF the opel atoms of the bill, said that he
desired to reserve the privilege Of intro
ducing similar bill for Kent county, as he
wished to protect his county from such
evils as those from which Cecil is now
suffering, should he deem it advisable to
do so.

SIEGE GUN FoR CUBA.
what the New War Factor Il and What
1t DQea. --.- u

Whist tho New War Factor Il and What
It Does. 4
With tho arrival of the American
troops in Cuba a new factor in the war
appears-the siege guns. The besieging
forces are comprised of infantry, caval-
~, dismounted cavalry and light artil-
lery' arteries ofsthe United States army.
The work Of the last named arm of the
service will be of high Importance.
The heavy siege guns used are Of
three varieties-7 inch siege mortars, 2
inch siege howitzers and s inch breech-
loading siege guns, mounted in their
carriages on heavy wooden platforms,
behind earthworks or emplacements.
Heavy sand bags will be used for this
purpose. The 5 inch siege rife is used
tor straight firing against q city's de-
lenses when it is desired to destroy the
earthworks or masonry. The z inch
Siege howitzers and the mortars are
used for high angle firing. They will
drop shells and shrapnel behind the in
trenchments into the midst of the enc.
my. The charge Of the 8 inch siege gun
is 1871 pounds of hexagonal powder,
with q. projectile weighing 45 pounds
~(including high explosives) for the 2
inch howitzer the charge is 10 pounds
Of hexagonal powder, ejecting q missile
Of 106 pounds weight, and for the 2 inch
breechloading mortars 54 pounds Of
powder is used to throw a 1876 pound
ahrapnel shell.
These guns may be fred about one
round q minute, and their power Of de-
stFuction is almost inconceivable. From
tests made by army officers it has been
proved that a shrapnel shell fred from
as inch gun will burst with terrific
force in, about 500 fragments. A 2 inch
shrapnel shell will distribute 700 bull
lets and fragments oversa distance 800
yards long and half az broad. These
hege guns are, for transportation, at
tached each to a Timber and hauled by
horses or mules, ten to q gun. From
three to five miles is the most effective
range Of the 8 inch rife. The mortars
and howitzers may be fred at an angle
OF 45 degrees or even more, and can be
used either close to the objective or at a
considerable distance. - New York
