As Malcom Kirk and Carver ran on

him. He was astonished to see the
number Of men and boys gathered in
the saloons. Many of the faces he
knew, and his entrance invariably Gre
ated distinct embarrassment through
the company. The majority Of custom
ers, however, seemed, from their dress
and talk, to be composed of farmers,
young men from the ranches outlying

when he thought Of what such a fact
meant.
He said to himself every time he

that he realized what the fires might

''If this wind keeps up, this town will

Conditions in the house of representa-

Messrs. Chanler of New York and Small

drawn up principally by Mr.. Chanle APP
proving the general principle of the bill,
but insisting upon certain amendments.
The most important of these .. a
change in the antitrust provision Of he
bill so as to make it the duty Of he cir
cult courts to institute proceedings
against voalators of the act and an act
in the interest of the navy, requiring the
ships benefitting by The act to carry a
larger percentage of Americans in their

in steamship and navigation. These
amendments are generally acceptable to
the republicans.

ST. Louis. May 10.-There is no prospect
that the ST. Louis ransit company which
controls all but one line in the city and
counIs will attempt to run cars until as
sured of protection. Only mail cars are
running. Most of the cars on the sub
urban system are running today with po-
lice protection.
Officers are standing on every car and

against interference.
No disturbance has been reported since
last night when Frank Liebecht. an in
nocent bystander, was shot and killed at
the Taylor avenue crossing of the subur-
Dan tracks.
Governor Stephens arrived in St. Louis
today. The governor said he had come
for the purpose of personally looking over
the situation occasioned by the strike and
comforting with the police board as to the
best means of suppressing outbreaks. He
had no definite plans, however.

JOHNSON SOFT NOSE SHELL.
HOW THE SOFT STEEL CAPS
PIERCE ARMOR PLATE.
Whole Force Concentrated at Point, the
Soft Nose Acting as a Lubri-
cant.

New York, May 10.--James w. Johnson,
member of the firm of Isaac G.. Johnson
& Co, of Spuyten Duyville, inventors of
the Johnson softnose shell, explained last
night how the soft steel cap enables a
projectile to pierce the armor plate.
II think" said Mr.. johnson, that the
action of the soft steel cap may be il
Illustrated by a simple experiment. If you
would try to drive a single nail through a
piece of sheet iron, The nail would bend.
But if you first drive a nail through a
piece of hard wood it will penetrate the
sheet iron.
1.-THE soft nose in other words, prevents
the projectile from glancing off. Its
whole force is concentrated al the point.
In one of the tests made at Indian Head
we fired a projeetile at the armor plate at
an angle of q degrees. No sooner had the
soft-nose touched the plate thar the pro-
iectile turned at a right angle to the plate
and penetrated it. The cap, or soft nose,
also acts as a kind of lubricant to the

Badly Burned Bodies Found in Union

impossible. One of the bodies was that
