NEW ARaOR PIERCING SHELL.
An American Invention Which Will Readily
Penetrate Any Armor Manufactured.

Washington, May S-Some Iacts, almost
startling in their importance, were laid
before the senate today in secret executive
sessiouat tbs conclusion of the regular
open session. They related, il il under.
stood, to the invention OF q shell by n
navy, a shell superior in every essential
quality to any now in use either by this or
by any other government. The quality OF
penetration imposed by the shell il said to
be so great that no armor now manuiac-
,ured 10 the United States or abroad has
sufficient resistance to withstand il.
The facts, which were in possession Of
only a few senators were deemed so impor-
tant that the senate decided to consider
them in secret session. Today alter the
navy bill had been laid aside for the day,
Mr.. Tillman asked for a secret session in
that he might explain to the senate why
he desired the armor plate matter To he
discussed in secret. When the doors were
closed he explained that several days ago
he had offered a resolution calling upon
the secretary of the navy to send To the
senate for it's information detail tests
made Of armor plate by the department
officials at Indian Head. No answer to
that inquiry had been received aud in all
ability none would be received. IL seems
Mr.. Tillman called at the navy depart.
ment and was informed that il would
be placed in the hands not only Of the SEN
ate, hut OF representatives OF foreign gov
ernments information that properly be-
longei to the United States. lie was in.
formed that Ad niral 0'Neill, chief Of the
bureau OF ordnance had been conducting a
series OF tests with amor plate at Indian
Head, the results OF which were very remark.
able. lie said the tests OF all sorts of
armor, including the KruPp armor, had
been made with a view Of discovering their
effectiveness against a new shell, which bad
been invented by Hu officer Of the navy.
No piece OF armor, submitted to the test,
il is understood, was able to withstand
the test. The shell fred from high pressure
guns penetrated the armor almost as a
bullet fired from u krag-Jorgenson rifle
would penetrate ordinary wood. The diff.
ferent armor plates split at the point OF
contract. IL is said this was true OF the
Krupp armor as well MS other armor tests.
The shell. which was So effective, was not
described indeed the navy department is
guarding jealousy all details concerning it's
construction.
The argument Of Tillman il that With
such a projectile, details of which would
sooner or later become known to the out.
side world, it would not be part OF wisdom
Tor congress to enter into a contract to
purchase high priced armor, unless it could
be se improved ms TO resist proiectiles OF
this kind used at Indian Hend.
Tillnan suggested that it would be desir.
able to consider the sub.e't in secret. The
senate ayr, Ell with him and tomorrow the
armor plate matter will be discussed be.
