PEACE COMMISSIONERS ~ THE WAR.
visit to Rebel General Price OF Three Fathers
who Wanted Their Sons Released.

The visit Of tho Boer Peace Commissioners
To this country reminded a New York man Of
the visit of three commissioners who called
upon Cen. Sterling Price, who commanded the
first Confederate army in Missouri in the be-
ginning Of the civil War,

went south 10 Join Price. There Were three
boys, each of whom was the only son of tho
family. The families were SouthernerS. but
their zeal for the cause did not prompt them 10
make sacrifices of their sons.
The sons. however, had the war fever. They
had been made prisoners in their homes until
the new recruits for Price wcrc we'll ON their
way and then released. 4 few days later the
boys went 10 the brush and by forced marches
and on short ratiOn- finally reached Lexington
and reported in person 10 Price, who put them
under guard, but il was adrOitly done. and the
boys did not know they were prisoners.
Within a few days three commissioner from
the northwest arrived at Prices headquarters.
They were business men and fathers of the
three boys under guard. Price received them
and asked the nature of their business. The

next importance; in both cases the second plan
gives a decided superiority.
The total degrees Of train in arc for the s-inch
guns in the first plan is $50. while in the second
it is 300, with much ibetteriarcs OF useful
distribution.
The value Of the fire Of two s-inch guns is
worthy of very serious consider alton.
Fighting ranges increase with the increased
ranges and generations Of guns. The side
or caScmate armor Of the latest ships which
will be met in the line or order of battle is
about six inches. At 1900 yards. with fair
impact. the penetration of the latest types
Of 8-inch guns, 50 many Of which are now
mounted in broadside, is about five inches
Of Krupp armor. Under ordinary battle con-
ditionS few. if any, generations Of such side
armor would be made with the 6-inch gun.
Using the s-inch gun, there would be no
doubt about getting through the side armor
a, 5000 yards or krnpp armor over two inches
thicker. Add to this the greatly increased

rnpidity Of fire which has been obtained with
the s-inch gun. and there is no reason TO doubt
the necessity of mounting more of these guns
in our ships. placing them where the greatest
number can be- used.
The two diagrams below illustrate graphically
the relative volumes Of fire for the Pinch and
s-inch guns of the two forms Of mounting
They show at a glance the superiority given
by the douhle-turret system, bringing in the
fire of two more powerful s-inch guns in the
most important arcs, beam. or on both bows
