Washington, May 9.-Some facts al
most startling in their Importance
were laid before the senate yesterday
in secret Legislative session at the
conclusion of the regular open ses-
sion. They related, it is understood,
to the invention Of a shell by q
prominent officer Of the United States
navy, shell superior in every essen
tial quality to any now in use either
by this or any other government.
The quality of penetration by the
shell is said to be so great that no
armor manufactured in the United
States or abroad has sufficient resist
ance to withstand it. The facts
which were in possession Of only q
few senator's were deemed so impor-
tant that the senate decided to con-
slider them in secret session.

The Peabody hotel, where the adni-

the large parlors and great hurrah
went up when the admiral entered
the rooms. For two hours Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. Dewey received the
citizens and visitors of Memphis,
shaking hands with all who passed

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
The Senate Considered, the Naval ApprO-
priati0n Bill = Ten Private Bills
Pas. ed In the House.

Washington, May 9.-The senate
yesterday concluded consideration of
the naval appropriation bill with the
exception of that section relating to
armor and armament. This went
over until to-day, when !. will be con-
sidered in secret Legislative session.
During the morning hour a number
of minor bills were passed, among
them one to reimburse various col
lectors of internal revenue for in
ternal revenue stamps charged against
them but not accounted tor. The de-
bate on the nasal bin was practically
confined to the paragraph relating
to the commissioning of naval cadets.
The committees amendment striking
out the proposition in III house bill
which sought to commission the ca
diets at the expiration of the four
years term at the naval academy,
aboishing the preliminary two years
at sea, was carried after a warm de-
bate.
The house devoted most of yester-
day to the consideration of private
bills recommended from the commit
tee on claims, and tea bills were
passed. Before the consideration of
these bills was entered upon the house
overruled the action of the ways and
means committee in reporting against
a resolution calling upon the secre-
tary of the treasury for information
regarding the materials used in the

was adopted. This is preliminary to

St. Louis, May 5.--0ne OF the great
est strikes in this history Of St. Louis
was inaugurated yesterday when, in
pursuance of action taken at a mass
meeting at 1870 a. M, 3,s25 employees
Of the st. Louis Transit company
went on u strike to compel the ac-
ceptance of their demands. Practi-,
cally every car line in St. Louis is
tied up.
Employedcn their cars and in their
sheds the st. Louis Transit company
had 5000 men, most of whom belong
to the Amalgamated Association of
Street Car Employees. All but 275 of
these, it is estimated, are out. With
the help Of some of the latter num-
Der of cars were run out ON the Park
avenue division of the Lindell line
which runs past the Union station.
This led to frequent riots on different
parts of the line, where strikers at
tempted, and, in some cases, succeeded
in stopping the cars.
A joint meeting of the executive
committee of the Business Mems
league and of the board of directors
of the Merchants exchange was called
at the request of members of both or
CARNATIONS as soon as the gravity
of the strike situation was realized
The justice Of the demands on either
side was not discussed, but the gray
ity of the crisis as affecting business
and law and order was considered.
As a result of the strike a number
of the steam railroads yesterday made
preparations to carry persons. living
along their lines. Trains on the Wa
bash will stop at all stations between
Union station and kosedale, west of
Forsythe junction. Iron mountain
trains leave Fourth and Chouteau
avenue for the docks and for Caron-
delet. Burlington trains stop at
Washington avenue, Mullanphy
street, North Market street. Bremen
avenue and North St. Louis, seven
miles from Union station. This will
relieve to some extent the territory
on three sides of the city.
At nine o'clock last night, as a
suburban car was crossing Taylor
avenue big crowd gathered. Some
one in it pulled the trolley from the
wire and this action so enraged a
passenger, at present unknown, that
he drew a revolver and fired three
shots into the crowd. Hurt Gilberth,
a barkeeper, an onlooker, received one
of the bullets in the arm and another
In the lung. He was taken to the city |
hospital where his wounds were pro-
nounced mortal.
