SUCCESSFUL TEST.
Guns at the Mouth of the Columb ia
Gave Satisfaction.

Astoria, Ore, Aug. 24.-Three of the
ten-inch disappearing guns mounted at
Fort Stevens were tested today. The
test was made under the supervision OF
Captain Clark of the ordnance depart
ment, who is visiting the Pacific coast
on a special detail for technical exam
ination and official report as to the
completeness and efficiency of all the
new batteries located along the coast.
Everything connected with the mechGn-
ism and ammunition for the guns was
carefully scrutiniZed and measured be-
fore the firing took place. Captain
Clark expressed the highest satisfac-
ton with the guns. The day was per-
feet and the test was successful in
every respect. The projectile us5d was
a solid conical shot, weighing nearly 600
pounds. Two of the guns were fired at
a range Of five and half miles over
the oDen water. At the point of i'm
pact with the ocean a column of water
spouted into the air several hundred
feet. Commander Patterson aimed the
guns and controlled the firing squad
The last shot fired was aimed at a fixed
target. which was the extreme detached
end of some old piiing over the jetty.
The range-finder showed the point to
be something over three and MALT
miles from the gun. When the smoke
cleared away it was found that the
bunch of piles had been fairly struck.

SULTAN OF SULU.
Agrees to All Terms Proposed By
Americans.

New York. Aug. 24.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Herald, describing
the agreement with the sultan of Sulu,
says:
The sultan agrees TO all the Ameri-
can terms proposed and recognizes the
absolute sovereignty of the United
States. which, the authorities declare,
he never did for Spain.
An important clause of the treaty
gives Americans the right to purchase
land We retain all the ports which
the Spanish formerly occupied, and re =
serve the right to open others at our
discretion.
The sultan collects no revenues. but
will receive an annual salary. main
tanning law and order. Several of the
principal chiefs also are salaried.
The Srltan's mother is largely re-
sponsible To- The happy conclusion f
affairs. General Bates had diplomat
ically gained the friendship of all the
powerful chiefs in Mindanao, Basilan,
Sulu, Siassi and Tawitawi, and had the
sultan rebelled. his overthrow could
have been easily accomplished.

AFTERMATH OF STORM.
Thought the Number of Lives Lost
Will Reach 100.

Norfolk. Va, Aug. 24.-It is now
thought that the number of People who
lost their lives by shipwreck and dis
aster attending the West Indian hurri-
cane which passed up the coast about
ten days ago Will reach 100. Accounts
in many respects conflicting continue to
come from the Albemarle and Pimlico
sound region and the coast from Hat
teras to Boyd's island, IN which section
the greater number of casualties oc-
Cured. AS this section of water is the
artery for small craft from the region
tributary to Chesapeake bay and as far
north as Philadelphia and south to
Georgia, the number of vessels travers-
ing these inland seas is always great.
Masters of craft in from that region
state that schooners. PUNCHES, sloops
and fishing craft wrecked, ashore, brok-
en- up. sunk or turned over, are to be
seen almost hourly in a trip through
the sounds, and it is thought that the
total drowned will run close to 100. if
ii does not even reach it.

VOLUNTEER RATE AGREEMENT.
Southern Pacific Says Competitors
Operate With ScaIpers.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Passenger officials
of the western roads today received
notification from the Southern Pacific
TO the effect that that line had found if
impossible to carry out the plan for an
equitable distribution of the eaSt-bound
soldier traffic from San Francisco. In
its notification the Southern Pacific ex-
ploded q bomb by saying that several
of the lines which had entered into the
agreement that several of the lines
which had entered into the agreement
TO nave the business satisfactorily and
fairly distributed, were operating with
scalpers in San Francisco, Omaha and
Kansas City, ard giving the Philippine
campaigners opportunities to secure
rates considerably less than those orig
inally agreed upon by all the lines. The
agreement now is regarded as a. dead
letter. and many serious complications
are expected to arise as a result of The
violation of it.
The lines drew up a government
sanctioned agreement, which fixed a
soldiers rate of so from the Golden
Gate to Omaha or Kansas City. 1t
was agreed that the regular rate from
the Missouri river points to this city
should be maintained. Soon after the
soldiers began to return from the Phil
ippineS, it is said. the offending lines
began to collaborate with the brokers
in San Francisco and the Missouri
river points. ARRANGEMENTS were made
whereby the rate from Omaha was cut
fully one-third.

SEAGOING BOTTLES.
In Speed the Record Is Above
Twenty Miles a Day.
(RaltirnOre SIM

! Washington. Some valuable infor-
nation respecting ocean currents has
| been obtained by the photographic
| office through floating bottles thrown
overheard by steamers and recovered
Dy passing ships, which reports the
exact points at which they were found.
frequently the bottles are picked up
and again tossed overheard after the
latitude and longitude and the number
OF the bottle have been noted. so that
the office in Washington may know the
direction taken by the bottle since put
into the sea or last sighted by some
vessel. In this way the direction it
hes drifted and the strength of the cur
rent can be accurately estimated
There are some recent returns which
show that bottles have fioated thou
sands of miles. and one has a record
OF covering 2,400 miles in ninety-two
days This bottle was tossed overheard
from the steamship Furst Bismarck on
May 1, 1898, about $50 miles southeast
OF Cape Race, and recovered on Aug.
in the vicinity of Gluckstadt on the
Elbe- The distance between the two
points, following the route through the
English channel, is about 2,400 miles,
giving twenty-siX miles as the lowest
possible estimate Of the daily average
velocity with which the bottle Travelled
eastward
1Hc 4OHSSSI Instance nidQe Dy any
bottle was one thrown from the steam
ship Electrician, which covered $500
miles in little over three years. or
an average of nearly six miles a day
Another bottle travelled 5000 miles in
GA days, or an average of eight knots,
while still another made 5000 miles in
327 days, or an average of 1873 knots a
day. Another good record for a bottle
is 300 miles in sixteen days, or an aver
age of 1S.S knots day.
In conducting its experiments the
navy department has had the cO-opera-
tion of the Russian government, which
in the cruises of two of its vessels had
thrown into the sea 703 bottles, of
which thirty have been recovered and
reported. Taken collectively, the paths
by these floating bottles give
a good idea of the drift currents of ehe
North Atlantic. The motion of the
waters seems TO be westerly, as is
evidenced by the destination of the
bottles cast adrift between
Madeira and Cape San Rogue. all Of
which ultimately found their way to
the Windward Islands. the Bahamas or
to the western shores of the Gulf OF
Mexico.
