HOW THE GUN IS FIRED.


The firing of the gun is readily ac-
complished as follows: The breech
block is first opened and the projectiIe
inserted. 1t is then closed and the pri-
mer attached. The gun is then spun
up, and when revolving rapidly enough.
and pointed at the target, the lanyard
is pulled, the primer fired and the flame
communicated to the rocket compost
ton in the end of the projectile. A GER
tain amount of gas is allowed to es-
cape around the rocket so that 10 more
pressure will be banked up than is
sufficient to give the prujectiie a good
start. After leaving the muzZle tie
burning of the rocket composition il
creases the density of the gas, thus i'm
| parting an accelerated velocity
In the larger gun, used for fortifica-
items and on board ship, the side frame
which forms the trunnions of the
breech is replaced by cylindrical cas-
ing, which carries the trunnions at IT'S
forward end. From the trunnions the
construction is similar to that O. the
field piece. The breech mechanism and
method Of loading are practically the
same. The transmission of the power
however, and the multiplication OF
tspeed are quite different
In this type the power for rotating
the gun is an electric motor attached
TO the top carriage of the mount
gear in the armature of the motor en-
| cages pinion upon a shaft passing
through the trunnions, which are hoI-
low. The shaft transmits the power to
the gun, imparting rotation of from
twenty-five hundred to three thousand
revolutions per minute, this speed being
reached in few seconds from a state
of rest
The top carriage is fitted with the
usual trunnion bearings and cap
! squares, and is mounted on q pedestal.
SO as to admit of the gun being trained
! In any direction. On board ship the
pedestal is belted to the deck and on
| land it is secured to a foundation OF
| masonry or concrete
The projectile of the new gun. of the

hundred pounds, one hundred of which

Admiral Howelrs new Cun may ice

Admiral Howells new gun may be
briefly described as follows:
The field piece consists of a cylindrical
tube forming the main body, which is
separate from the part containing the
breech. The gun is supported by steel
framework, the rear end of which car
ries the breech portion, and the front
forms the forward half of the muzzle
ball-bearings, the other half consisting
of a ring shrunk upon the tube near the
muzzle. Since the bore is perfectly
eoncentric with the breech cavity the
gun can be loaded without absolutely
bringing the main tube to rest.
In this type, the gun is rotated by
means of gear and sprockat wheels
similar to those on the bicycle for null
tiplying speed and transmitting power
A small bevel gear, which surrounds the
gun, engages larger one mounted on
the trunnions. This large wheel car
ries on its shaft a small sorocket, to
which it is keyed A sprocket chain
leads from this to large sprociiet wheel
mounted on the trail. The latter wheel
may be revolved either by hand or foot
power, depending upon the size of the
gun.
this sytem of sprocket chain and gears,
that a velocity of twelve hundred rev.
olutions per minute is impaired to the
gun.
Owing to there being practically no
pressure in the tube, there is no recoiI,
and therefore the carriage remains in
position. The elimination of the strain
due to recoil permits of an extremely
light carriage, the weight Of the So
inch field gun and carriage complete
BEND under 400 pounds. The breech
mechanism is extremely simple, and of
the interrupted screw type. A copper
gas check is provided, which takes the
place of the brass cartridge case in
rapid-fire guns, or the De Bange gas
check in larger pieces, which prevents
the escape of gas into the breech mech

IE SPANISH YIELD.
Being

PARIS, FRANCE, October 27.--The Spanish
Peace Commissioners have accepted q mega
tive view of the United States Commission
ors towards the proposed assumption by
the United States of the Cuban debt, E
Tho American Commissioners have firmly
but courteously declined to assume for the
United States the entire or joint responsi-
bility for the Spanish financial conditions and
the Spanish Commissioners have finally
abandoned the effort and have agreed that
the Cuban article of the protocol shall, with
out conditions, have place in the ultimate
treaty of peace. H..
1t was not until Monday that they became
absolutely convinced that the Americans had,
from the outset of their refusal to accept the
Cuban debt, meant exactly what they said.
In spite of the fact that the Spanish Com
missioners had, as background Of their
efforts, doubts Of succeeding, their hope of 80
doing has been so keon and their contention
has been 30 vigorously prosecuted that the
final conviction of their inability to win their
point brought to the Spaniards such shock
and depression that, consistent with these
dispatches at the time, there were grave
doubts as to the continuance of the negotia-
lions.
It's support of these statements is the fact
that Senior Montero Rios, after Mondays
session, and on Tuesday last would have
resigned the presidency of the Spanish
Peace Commission, had he not believed that
hia 80 doing may have grievously shaken,
even if it had not unseated Senor Sagasta's
government. From this standpoint, if for
no other reason, Senor Montero Rios retained
his position, and at yesterdays session, act
ing under the conviction arrived at on Mon
day, the Spaniards announced that they
would forego further argument on tho Cuban
debt and agreed that, practically in tho terms
and absolutely in the spirit of the protocol,
the article about Cuba should go forward
into the final treaty.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish sovereignty
over and claim to Cuba without either terms
or conditions.
All differences, if any existed, regarding
Porto Rico and the selection of the island of
Guam, were also arranged by mutual under
standings, and the Commissioners found
themselves we'll nigh touching the Philip
pine question, which will be taken up next
week.
The session of the joint commissions,
which began to-day at 2 p. NJ, ended at 4
p. M.

A Safe for LiquOr.

Tho best story in connection with the
raids Of liquor constables since tho dis
ponsary system was instituted comes
from Spartanburg and reads rs follows:
Quito sensation occurred at tho Spar-
tan Inn on last Wednesday night, Ooto-
ber 10th, which did not become generally
known until late in tho following day.
Tho constablos stationed at that place
suspected that there was whiskey being
sold in tho billiard and pool room con-
Quoted cn the I!rst aoor OF tho inn, 5y
B. s. Doolittle. No scheme they could
doviso would furnish evidence to con-
yiot, and no whiskey could bo found in
his possession. On Wednesday the Off
cors secured search warrant for the
promises, including tho iron safe. Early
in the night, tho constables, accompanied
by. Deputy Sheriff Landrum Fostar,' 10
paired to tho hotel and proceeded to
search. Finding nothing on the outside
they demanded, admission to. tho safe.
This was securely looked and nobody
about the hotel would admit that he had
anything to do with tho 9afo or that he
even know tho combination. This
aroused the suspicious of the officers
more than over, and they determined TO
500 inside that safe. (,
Nobody claimed the safe and nobody

The Synod OF South Carolina.

SPARThE8URG,O October 22.-This body,
comprising 13i ministers, 2U0 churches
and about 20, 600 communicates, held its
annual sesss:ans IL a:iaas;atSSIT s. c., ooIi-
vening Tuesday evening, the 18th instant,
and adjOurning Friday about noon.
Many pleasant "reminiscences concerning
tho chiifGh in which tho Synod met were
called up on several occasions. Tho
church was organized in 1886 and imme-
diately called young licontiate, James
II. Thornwell, composing, with tho mo-
thor churcE of Waxhaw, part Of tho
first pastoral charge of him who after-
wards became 80 ilustriOus as preacher,

duties with his usual good temper and
promptness. There wore in attendance
116 members, and an excellent spirit
pervaded tho body throughout its scs-
sions. There woro present, besides all
tho Assembly'B secretaries, fivo in num-
Der, and also DR.. H. l.. Smith, of David

of our foreign missionaries, Rev. w. B.

Price, of China, woro on the ground, and
woro heard. All thns, addresses wern
interesting, instructive and pleasant, but
| the unusual number of thom coming at
one moeLing made 1t necessary for tho
Synod to restrict tho speakers as to time,
80 rs to allow opportunity to attend to
the regular business OF the body.
The matter winch seemed to elicit the
most anxious consideration of tho Synod
was tho present condition of tho Colum.
bia Theological Seminary. Tho Small
number of students, only twenty, re,
ported as In attendance, and tho dofi
ciency Of the income from endowment to
meet tho current expenses of the institu
ton, aroused deep concern. AS to the
first, no measures wore attempted to helI
the situation, but as to tho second, tho
board of directors was advised to make
every reasonable effort tG reduce tho eX
pensas of the institution, several specific
recommendations upon this point beinl
made, and tho churches of tho SynoC
wore recommended to raise, by specia
collections, one-third of the expected do
floienoy of $2,550 for tho current year.

Undue significance has been attached to
the dispatch of a special messenger from
Washington yesterday to the. President at
Philadelphia 81
Almost every day long report has come
by cable from Judge Day, President Of the
American Commissioners at Paris, telling
what had been accomplished, what the Span
ish Commissioners were seeking and what the
American Commissioners propose to do at
the next meeting. The President has gone
over these reports very carefully in company
with Secretary Hay and sometimes with
military or naval experts if their advice
seemed to be necessary. Yesterdays report
was very long, and to have reduced it to
cipher code for the purpose of telegraphing
it to Philadelphia would havo consumed more
time and been less satisfactory in results than
the services of a messenger. ...H.
AS vital stage had been reached it was
thought advisable not to delay till the Presi-
dents return, and so Assistant Secretary
Cridler's confidential clerk was sent to Phi'a-
delphia with the daily report. 1t is expected
that the Commissioners will not take up the
subject of the Philippines. The American
Commissioners have given this subject much
attention, but so far it has never appeared
before the joint commission save in the shape
of one spasmodic effort made by the Span
iards at the very beginning of the sessions to
have the United States abandon Manila as
precedent to the further negotiations on tho
subject of the Philippines.
The American Commissioners among other
things have been looking into the subject of
the Philippine debt about which there is
much Ignorance at this end of the linc 1t is
unlikely that the same ru' will be applied to
that debt as was insisted upon relative to the
Cuban debt. In other words, if tho United
States annexes the Philippines, which seems
now to be the logical outcome of tho situa-
tion, it might be reasonably contendcd that
at least so much of the debt as represented
moneys expended for the Improvement of
the island should pass to the United States
with the tile. The situation is regarded az
materially different from that in Cuba where
the United States gains nothing substantial
for, with the annexation of tho Philippines,
we should acquire territory almost as large
as the British Isles with tcemng popula-
tion of more than 100000 people. It will
be for the American Commissioners to ar
range tho details for the transfer of the
Philippines to the United States, as it is ex-
pressly stipulated in tho peace protocol that
the disposition of tho Philippines shall be ar
ranged by the Peace Commissioners 80 that
there is ample warrant, unlike the case of
Cuba, for discussion of all questions of the
Philippine debt, municipal and insuar.

SPANS LAST RESORT.

PARIS, October 28--Both the American
and the Spanish Commissioners refuse to
acknowledge the authenticity of the informa-
tion concerning yesterdays session. Before
the session rupture was expected--or at
best prolonged negotiations. 1t is certain
that the Spanish will waive the question of
the Cuban debt. There is the highest au-
thority for saying that the Spanish as last
resort will take the ground publicly that her
Cuban debt will make Spain unable to carry
her external debt-thus inviting European
holders of Spanish bonds to interfere. Mean
while there is some hope of solution by
means of compensation ,
1t is rumored that the American members
Of the commission may resign. ..

A correspondent of the Advance

Scotland: "Scotland is still the land
of the Sabbath. In her large cities
and towns and country cottages the
quiet of Sunday morning is broken
only by the singing of Psalms and
the reading of the Bulk at the,
family hearth. It is said there id
not one Sunday newspaper published
in Scotland, no street oars run, and
the bowling green's and golf courses,
crowded on all other days, are silent
and deserted on the Sabbath. Last
summer law-bReaiing passenger

certain part of Scotland. 1t was met
and repelled by tho righteous mob.n
