moderately high velOcities, sufficient
energy Of impact. it is argued, car be
obtained to pierce 6 inch plate. This.
then, is the raison d'etre of the I inch
gun. Just what the main c~haracteris-
tics Of the new gun will be cannot at
this writing be definitely stated, but
the shell weight, 1t Is thought, will be
kept under 175 pounds. The ammuni-
ton will be put up in the same manner
as that for the new 6 inch guns fitted
with Wicker breech mechanism-i. e.,
projectile and powder will be separate.
With the new 6 inch gun firing a 100
pound shell a rate Of nine shots per
minute has been repeatedly attained.
Ordnance men predict that the new Z
inch gun should yield in the hands of
a trained crew at least four shots per
minute.
1t is not at all improbable that the
Il inch gun Of the United States navy
will before long give way, as the heav-
lest weapon carried. to the 10 inch gun
of 80 caliber length. The II inch gun
has superseded the 13 inch weapon by
reason Of the increased powers afford
ed the II inch piece through the intro
duction Of the new smokeless powder.
The impression is gaining ground that
the 10 inch gun can yet be made to do
the work Of the IL inch. At present.
however, the II inch gun is necessary
because Of the presence Of armor plates
on many foreign ships which only the
IL inch gun can pierce. 1t may be ac.
cepted as pretty safe, though, that no
matter how anxious the authorities
may be to reduce the dead weight of
ships batteries the IL inch gun will
not give way to the 10 inch until it is
certain that the latter will do the work
of the II inch and do it without ex.
cessive wear.

pearance OF the superintendent we

feed people on out there as anywhere.
Hundreds of shade and ornamen-
tai trees have been planted by our
residents this spring. There is no
question but what Argyle has the
largest number Of trees OF any town
in the Red River Valley. This adds
greatly to the general fattering ap-
pearance of our town, and in few
years we may safely claim the title
OF "City Beautiful and thus follow
the example OF many southern cities
which possess such a large number
of beautiful trees that strangers
have bestowed upon them the above
pleasing title. We are on the right
track for securing such a distinction.

Porto Rican Prelate Calls n
Presbyterian a Liar.

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico. June 27.-At a
teachers conference held here yesterday
evening DIR. Saladana, a member of the
insular Board of Education. during the
course of an address. remarked that the
Catholic religion should again be intro
duced into the public schools of Porto Rico.
DIR. Campos V~alladares, a Portuguese Pres
byterian, superintendent of public instruc-
ton in Brazil. tool exception to DR.. Sala-
dana's remark. and, turning to Bishop
Blenk. the bishop Of Porto Rico, he said,
in substance, that the Roman Catholic
Church had been negative in results In all
the South American countries, asserting
that the illiteracy prevailing there was due
entirely to the churches.
This remark caused great excitement. NO
sooner were the words uttered than Bishop
Blenk jumped TO his feet, and, striking the
table with his closed fist, shouted: 1T is a
lie." adding: 81 will not sit quietly and
hear the church o. which / am the repre-
sentative in Porto Rico raduced In such
language
After a painful silence by a common inn
pulse the adherents of the bishop shouted,
as with one voice, Long live Catholicism"
and the incident was closed, though IT has
aroused much feeling.

NOVEL SUGGESTION.
st. Louis Manufacturers Asked to
Fight Boycott by Closing Works..

ST. LOUIS, Jule 27.-It was reported to-
day that offers were making to induce St.
Louis manufacturing firms to close their
establishments and suspend operations I'M
til the boycott on the st. Louis Transit
Company and those who ride on it's lines
was declared of. 1t was said that a repre-
sentative manufacturer who had been APP
preached by a committee of citizens and
asked TO make a anvas of the manu-
facturers for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not the suggestion met with
their favor, declined to make the canvass.
stating that instead of improving the situa-
ton, he thought IL would be made much
worse by a general shutdown which would
not only entail great loss on the manufac-
turers, but would in addition impose untold
hardships on the laboring people gener-
ally and would completely paralyze the in
dustries OF st. Louis. To an Associated
Press reporter several of the leading manu-
facturers admitted that they had heard of
a suggestion and had given II serious con-
sideration, and all agreed that such a step
would be unwise.
Since Monday fourteen private watch
men, armed with shotguns. have been
sworn in by the Board of Police Commits
sioners to guard the powerhouse of the
ST. Louis Transit Company on account of
loss of protection afforded by the recent
posse comitatus.
The first Official estimate of the cost of
extra police protection during the strike
shows that $l5o.000 will cover IL.
The Globe-Democrat will say. to-mor-
row: "The large employers of labor in st.
Louis, to the number of one hundred or
more, have organized the Law and Order
Club Of st. Louis, n propose to give bat
tie to the boycott. While the gentlemen
who are credited with being active in the
organization were noncommittal, enough
was learned to show that the boycott is to
be fought In a manner that would leave
no doubt as to the t-horoughness of the
organization and the earnestness of their
Intentions"

BLACK RIVER FALLS. Wis, June a.
A terrific storm passed over this place
about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Shade trees,
telephone and electric poles and wires are
tangled in an intricate mass and fill the
streets. The belfry of the Universalist
molished. Outhouses and barns have
suffered severely. A thousand shade trees
were broken off or uprooted. ID. j. SpauId-

demolished. Three young men cleaning
brick at the old iron furnace took shelter
behind a brick wall. which blew over on
them. They are ell badly hurt and may die.
Their names are Conrad Olsen. Edward
Linnell and Herbert Adams. The damage
to growing crops is very severe. and reports
from the line of the Green Bay Railroad
indicate that the storm was much more
severe farther north. A peculiar feature
of the storm was the absence of lightning.

READY FOR THE RACES
YALE AND HARVARD TO CONTEST
FOR SUPREMACY TO-DAY.
New Haven Varsity Crew Confident,
Their Opponents
Captain Is Laid Up.

NEW LONDON, Conn, jun N.-Once
more the representative crews of Yale and
Harvard stand on the banks of the Thames
ready TO renew the battle for rowing SUI
premacy. Naturally, with Harvard's cap
tain Higginson), who was the stroke and
the best oar, out of the boat. with an in
1ured ankle, there is tonight at the Yale
quarters the utmost confidence in the abil-
ity of the New Haven crew to pull out a
victory tomorrow in the big four-mile race
between the varsity Fights. On the other
hand. there is a grim determination at Red
Top, the Harvard quarters, to do or die,
and there are not a few tonight who be-
lieve that this d~oggedness will win the race.
The men are not discouraged by any means
with the loss of their captain, while still
realizing the severe handicap under which
they will have to pull.
In the regatta, as a whole, there hardly
seems to be the usual amount of interest
and enthusiasm this year. There were to-
night a number of yachts in the harbor,
both off the wharves and below. near the
Pequot House, and just at SHUTDOWN a num-
Der of large schoonars were towed through
the bridge and found good positions just
above, near the finish line. But the incom-
ing trains this afternoon failed to deposit
the crowd of undergraduates that on for
mer years has enlivened the eve of the
race.
All three of the races are planned, as
usual, to be rowed down stream, with the
tide, which at the time will lave ebbed
about three hours, and be running strong.
The f~ouT-oared crews will be sent away at
1870, at the beginning of the course, across
the river from the Harvard quarters at Red
Top. The crews will pull two miles down
stream and finish at the navy yard. I'm
mediately afterward the freshmen will
start at the navy yard and finish under the
big railroad bridge, a distance of two miles.
The observation trains which will have fol-
lowed the crews down the course will then
hurry back TO Red Top and about IL noon
the varsity eight will start and pull down
stream for four miles. The crews rested
to-day, the work being very light.
