LORD SALISBURY MAKES 4
SPEECH AGAINST IRELAND
AT PRIMROSE LEAGUE.
His Remarks Will Have a Tendency to
Stir Up the Temper Of the People
on the North Side Of the Channel
For a Moment the Irish are Pow
erless.

London, May .9.-At the annual meet
ing OF the Primrose league this at
terneon Lord Salisbury made a sen
sational speech against Ireland which
is destined to stir up temper on the
north side Of the channel. Referring
to Ireland and the death Of home rule
as a political issue the prime minister
said:
There Is no hope that we shall give
Ireland practical independence, for we
have learned from South Africa how q
disloyal government can accumulate
ornaments and thus secure a terrible
advantage. The British government
now knows better than to give this
power to a disloyal government in Ire
land. For the moment the Irish are
erased and a poweriess factor in Eng
lish politics, but do not let Englishmen
imagine this will be permanent"
Referring to England's foreign rela-
lions, Salisbury said the elements Of
menace and peril were slowly accu-
mulating and might reach a point re-
|quiring the governments earnest eff
forts to repel them Affairs, so far as
foreign governments were concerned,
he said. were peaceful. but. added the
premier. 'sWe have no security and no
confidence In the sympathy Of other
nations except In the efficiency Of our
own defense. and In the strength Of III
own right. Everywhere the power of
o9ense is increasing and who knows
but they all might unite in one great
wave to dash upon our shores.
eft is unwise for us to depend over
much on u navy" continued Sails
bury. ..the people must put themselves
in a condition to defend their homes.
Rifle clubs should be formed in every
district and every able bodied English
man should make himself competent to
meet an invading enemy. Then" con-
'cluded the premier. I'VE shall have a
force which will make an assailant's
chances SO bad that no assailant would
appear against u.s."
.Sallsbury's- speech left. his audience
In at state of s~tupefact4on, believing
that only some new and great peril to
the empire could have inspired it.

PENETRATED KRUPP PLATE.
New Projectile Gives the United
States q Decided Advantage.

New York, May 9.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Herald. discus
slngsths new American projectile, Gays:
The Indian Head test was conducted
several weeks age In the presence OF
navy and army ordnance experts. A
six-inch Krupp plate was used as a
target and the firing was from 4 six
inch rife. Ordinary armor-piercing
projectiles were fired at the plate, and.
assexpected, went to pieces on the tar
get.
Then the same kind Of shell, but with
. new cap. vas tried. This cap Is
known as the johnson soft nose. 1t
is not pointed like the ordinary armor-
piercing cap, but has a round end.
The johnson cap is called soft because
It 10 composed OF a metallic substance
much softer than the plate. the descrip-
tive term being comparative only. The
theory OF Its use Is that the soft nose,
flattening against the plate on impact,
offers a comparatively soft substance
for the rest of the shell to strike, and
with IN entrance once obtained the pro-
jectile hnds 1t easier to penetrate the
plate. The cap is described as having
IthsIskect Of Ilpbrieating the rest ot tho
shell. The firing piece was not more
than 1000 yards from the plate when
penetration was acquired. no attempt
to demonstrate the effect of the shell at
long distance being deemed advisable
at the first experiment. Two shots we're
fred at the target with projectiles 1T
ted with the Johnson cap and both of
these went through the plate. 10.
The Krupp plate was made for the
Russian battleship being built in Phila-
de1phia, but how the navy department
got 1t is a mystery. The United States
.eovernment.has not, contracted for any
Krupp armor and cannot get 1t for ex-
perimental purposes from the COM
panies which make It.
While the test was not conclusive,
on account of the failure to fire at long
or ranges, It was suficient to show that
the Johnson invention has given the
United States a decided advantage over
foreign nations In offensive naval

A DIssracefuI Affair.
[From the Tempe News.l

The attempt of two or three dis, gruntled politicians to send 3 contest- ing delegation from Maricopa county to the territorial democratic conven- tion, is the most disgraceful thing in the history of the party in this country. The contest between Colonel Wilson and Marcus A. Smith was fairly and squarely fought to finish in the county convention. The majority of the convention was clearly for Smith before and after the permanent or ganization, as was indicated by every ballot wherein delegate question was the issue. The contest movement has but little support aside from the three men who are pushing it, and it has the hearty condemnation of all true demo- crats, whether they have been for Vii. son or Smith. That the interests oi the county ticket are being jeopardized by these men in order that theil personal spleen may be:gratifed is rec ognized by all. Their action is botf disgraceful and undemocratic.

WHO'LL BET WITH KERR
He Has an Election Proposition on Which
 He Can't Lose.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Secretary James Kerr, of the Democratic Con- gressional Committee, offers to bet that he can name thirteen States that Bryan will carry; that he can name thirteen additional States that the Re- publicans will carry, and that Bryan will carry the remaining nineteen. For the first and second proposition he wants even money and for the third to I.
 At glance it would appear that Mir. Kerr was getting much the bad end of the betting but as matter of fact he would stand to win.
 For the first proposition Mir. Kerr would probably select Michigan, Ore gon, Wisconsin, Delaware, Illinois, In- diana, Washington, West Virginia, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky and Montana. For the second thirteen States he would have Massachusetts, Minnesota, Vermont, Rhode Island, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, New Hamp- shire, Maine, Iowa, Connecticut and California. On these two bets he would get even money.
 Under the conditions of the bet he would receive odds of f to l on the third proposition, which is that Bryan would carry the remaining nineteen States, which are Alabama, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia Nebraska, Colorado, Idaho, Utah Maryland, Nevada and Wyoming. He could substitute any State which he deemed unsafe for one in the other lists.

Great Loss of Water.

During the year that MT. Elwood
 Mead has had the work of irrigation investigation in charge great num- Der of measurements have been made of water used for irrigation--at the head of the large canals; at the head
 of the small canals or laterals, and also at the margins of the fields where used. These measurements show in many cases a surprising discrepancy The differences in the measurements at the three places show the approxi- mate loss of water in transit in canals. The results which are given in full in Mir. Mead's report are expressed in the depth to which the water measured would cover the land irrigated, pro.
