POWERFUL DYN ANTE SHELL
WOND ERFUL EXP ERIlLENT At THE
SANDY NOOK PROVING GROUNDS.
The Results Go to Prove That If the
Protectiie Had Struck u Battleship the
Latter Would Have Sunk-The Shell
Made of 900 Pounds of Cast SteeI-The
Bursting Charge.

New York, Aug. 23.-At the Sandy
Hook proving grounds to-day an ex-
pertinent was made with a dynamite
shell which tended to prove that If it
had struck a battleship the latter would
have been sunk. William S. Isham is
the inventor of the projectile The
shell, made from about nine hundred
pounds of cast steel and carrying a
bursting charge of 129 IL pounds of
explosive gelatine, was fired from an
ordinary 12-inch rifle, mounted on an
improvised carriage behind a shield.
The charge used for firing was COM
posed of common Brown prismatic pow
der
About 200 feet in front of the gun
piece of Harveyized steel, twelve inches
thick and specially treated, was pac-
ed at an angle of As degrees to the line
of fire. Behind it was a thick backing
of oak and behind the oak was a small
mountain of sand, the whole calculated
to be stronger than a battleships side.
The shell struck and exploded with a
terrific report. The steel target was
blown clear UP from the oak backing
and lay seventeen feet to one side at
right angle to the line the shot had fol-
lowed.
Part of the oak backing and the sand
behind it were also blown away. Only
about four pounds of steel fragments of
the shell were found. The most destruc-
tive explosive known was used in the
shell. 1t was composed of SS per cent.
of nitro glycerine. eight per cent of gun
cotton as an absorbent and four per
cent. of camphor 1t is estimated to
be 20 per cent. stronger than No. dy-
Mantle.

Columbia and Defender.

Bristol, r. l., Aug. 23.-After three
hours of hard work the Columbia S
pine mast was taken out this afternoon
and laid upon the wharf of the
Herreshoff works at exactly 6 o'clock.
1t took considerable time to adjust the
purchases for raising the mast, but it
was accomplished at last and the big
stick came out quite easily. The steel
mast is practically finished, but quite
number of men We're at work nearly
all day on the new pine top mast and
had not completed their labors on it
tonight. A new set of speaders were
placed on the steel mast this after
noon. The old ones which broke and
caused the accident We're of wood, but
while the new ones are also of the
same material they are strengthened by
steel braces The Defender came off
the ways this morning and was hauled
out to her mornings in the harbor. Her
new sails have not yet arrived and
she probably will not leave for Newport
until Saturday.

tions being to wait for each other

Grand Battle for $4,000 stake-The
Event Unfinisllei.

| -Readville, Mass, Aug. 23.-7The Mass
achusetts stake of $4,000 value, the big
gest event on the card at to-day's grand
circuit racing on the Readville track,
by decision of the judges at dark is un-
| finished and three horses have an equal
| chance to win it tomorrow with two
| heats each. The race was without
question one of the finest exhibitions
| ever seen on this or any other track for
| the class, and the judges decision
found favor and objection alike from
| the excited throng which had poured
out upon the track in the gathering fog
and darkness. Tom Boy, owned by
Frank Jones of Portsmouth Lecco, the
favorite Boston stallion, and the stall
lion Charley Herr are left to battle to
a finish. None was favorite picked to
win, and tonight the result is in doubt,
with Tom Boy as the favorite. AT the
end of the second heat it looked as if
Mr.. Jones stable was again on the VIM
ming side, and a little later, when Tom
Marsh drove Who-Is-It to an easy mile
in the 2:12 class trot, the opinion was
strengthened. Mr.. Jones has three VIM
ners thus far in the meet. All the 9TH
er races had rafting finishes in every
heat, although the two-in-three style
made quick close. In the 2:1S pace
Tyson drove the favorlte, King Albert,
to win after very fast first heat. The
PIP pace went to Frank Jones' Who-Is-
1t in the first race of the season for the
gelding. The 2:14 pace is unfinished,
Art Alec, the favorite, having been dis
tanced in the first heat after breaking
at the start and then coming to stand
still under the wire. Summary:

rotary Root VIII Not Say.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Secretary Root
returned this evening from Lake Cham
plain and spent some time with General
Corbin and Acting Secretary Meikle-
John. That the campaign in the Phil
ippines is to be pushed vigorously is
evident from a remark the secretary
made to the reporters. He was deter
mined, he said, that every man belong
ing to the twenty regiments of volun-
teers now being recruited shall eat his
Christmas dinner in the Philippines In
regard to the report that General Mer
ritt is to succeed General Otis in COM
mand of the troops of the Philippines,
Secretary Root was non-committal. The
secretary's attention was called to re-
port of fresh propositions for treating
with the insurgents with view to a
peaceful settlement of the war in the
Philippines. He had not heard official
ly of this, although he expressed an
opinion that he hoped it was so.

great dissatisfaction and a rumor circu-
lated yesterday that the paymasters
would leave to-day alarmed the men
who had not been paid. They began to

Captain Baliat, with twenty gendar-
mes, was present to preserve order
among the applicants, and the United

There are rumors that force is being
