taken, referred only to the modern coast
defence system of Europe as affording. a
striking contrast. The statement therein
! believe to be literally true and based
upon information secured from the highest
authorities.
Il deem it most unfortunate that we
should take up, develop, and place almost
sole dependence upon type of mount that
has been tried and practically abandoned
abroad. In the fourteen years that have
elapsed since 1856. methods and means of
defence throughout the world have changed
rapidly, and we should keep step with,
if not in advance of, progress made abroad.
Rapid-ire guns on recoil- controlling car
riages are being used almost exclusively
on all guns up to and including six-inch
calibre, while the proportion of guns above
six-inch calibre is decreasing.
Protection to gun ana gunner can, as a
rule, only be seured at the expense of "a
pidity and accuracy OF fire, and the best
protection that can be given to both gun
and gunner is TO make its fire as accurate
rapid, and destructive as possible. This
was the secret of the success of our Navy
in sinking the Spanish feet with guns all
in barbette and not one in disappearing
carriage. Our present barbette carriage
was adopted and announced as a type by
the Board of Ordnance and Fertilization
more than five years ago.
THE method OF securing ammunition
can be much improved, and if one quarter
of the time, money, and ingenuity already
devoted to the development of the disap-
pearing carriage had been given to the
barbette mount the advantage TO the Gov
eminent would, in my opinion, have been
great.
My objection to relying almost entirely
upon the disappearing carriage was the re-
suit Of personal inspection of a large pro-
portion Of those mounted, and is confirmed
by the consensus Of opinion of many srtil-
lery officers"

in the Louisiana Purchase and had at one
time belonged TO the United States. So
far as | know the proposition was not dis
puted by any public man of that time The
Democratic national platform of 1874 de-
clared for the annexation of Texas at the
earliest practicable period
las early as April %, 1874. James X.
Polk, in a letter to Salmon p. Chase
and others. of Cincinnati, declared for the
remuneration OF Texas. saying. among
other things. that the Spanish Government
itself in 1913 was satisfied of the validity
of the title of the United States to Texas
under the treaty of 1903. and that in his
judgment Texas was unwisely ceded to
Spain by the treaty OF 1919. He reiterated
this opinion in his inaugural address as
President. II seems also that John Quincy
Adams, who. as Secretary of State, nego-
tiated the treaty Of 1919. saw that a mis-
take had been made and while he was
President endeavored to restore the
boundaries of the United States to the Rio
Grande. Among other public men who
maintained that Texas was Included in the
Louisiana Purchase of 1903 and ought 10
be reannexed to the United States. are
President Tyler. in his message of April
%, 1S4i; Mr. Benton, in speeches In the
United States Senate. and Mr.. Clay, in his
Raleigh letter written in 1874. In
this letter Mr.. Clay said:
The United States acquired the title to
Texas extending, as l believe. to the Rio
del Norte (Rio Grande) by the Treaty Of
Louisiana In one of his speeches in the
United States Senate in reference to ths
annexation of Texas Mr. Benton said:
The Oldest advocate for the recovery
Of Texas, / must be allowed 10 speak In
Just terms of the criminal politicians who
prostituted the question of recovery
to their base purposes. and delayed lis
success by degrading and disgracing 1t. A
Western man, and coming from a State
more than any interested in the recovery
of this country so unaccountably thrown
away by the treaty OF 1919, must be al
lowed to feel indignant at seeing Atlantic
politicians Selling upon it
Senator Culberson, since taking his seat
in the Senate. has achieved the reputation
of being one of the most learned constitu-
tional lawyers in that body. Before he
came to the Senate he was Governor of
Texas and there is no greater authority
on Texas history than he. His paper is
looked upon as one OF great historical in
terest.

COAST DEFENCE SYSTEM
General Miles Views Regarding
Disappearing Gun Mounts.
Conclusions Drawn From the Bonn
bnrdment of MORO Castle, Santi-
apo, and other Fortifications Dur
ing the War With Spain - The
Results of Personal Inspection.

The Secretary Of War has received an
other letter from General Miles regarding
the use of disappearing gun carriages in
the coast defence system. General Miles
writes:
THE conclusion to mount upward Of 30
per cent of our modern high-power coast
defence guns in deep pits on disappearing
carriages was apparently reached after a
long academic discussion of the subject In
successive annual reports of the Chief OF
Engineers. The conclusion is not believed
20 be based upon any practical results of
fire from shipboard on land Notifications
obtained in war service. The history OF all
recent naval operations is distinctly op-
posed to such a conclusion. and no better
example Of this could be desired than that
furnished during the recent war with
Spain, when the fire from the vessels OF
our Atlantic squadron was directed for
more than a month against weak, anti
quated, and exposed artillery defeuces OF
Santiago, with the net results that two
guns were dismounted and probably not
more than $4,000 total damage was done
10 the Notifications.
"Old Moro Castle the eighteenth cen
fury masonry work, exposed on a bluff less
than 200 feet above tidewater, and armed
with four eighteenth century smooth bore
cannon. withstood on one occasion the con-
centrated fire OF our fleet at close range
for three hours, with the result that one
corner OF the masonry was struck and
damaged, but the parapet remained intact
and not man or gun was injured so far
as known. A similar experience was met
with two months earlier during the bonn
bardment of San Juan
"There were no disappearing mounts on
any Of the Spanish guns. and bu; little pro-
lection for guns or gunners. yet they sue
cessfully withstood the fire from the very
latest types of naval weapons. including
rapid-fire and machine guns OF the latest
pattern.
III We go back to the siege CT Port Ar
thur, 10 the English bombardment of Alex
andria, or. earlier still, TO the siege OF Sc
bastopol. the story is the same. These
are facts In warfare versus theory in peace.
AS originally submitted TO Congress in
1866. the Endlcott board report and sys-

TURKEYS CUSTOMS LAWS.
Determinations Against Imports of
American Flour and Pork

DETERMINATIONS Against Imports of
American Flour and Pork
The report from Constantinople that the
Turkish Government is imposing onerous
restrictions on the importation of Ameri-
can flour and pork is not surprising 20 the
authorities here. The -four matter has been
the subject of contention between Turkey
and the United States for some time. but
it has not been Of such a character as to
cause any great strain in the relations
of the two Governments, and the officials
say that the current report does not con-
tain anything new.
The Turkish customs regulations in re-
gard 10 the tests of -four are so worded as
TO permit the rejection OF cargo OF the
article for reasons which are covered up by
a confusing citation of the regulat ,ons.
Flour which has stood the American tests
10 sometimes rejected by the Turkish on
cials for reasons that this Government has
never been able TO fathom. Whenever it
suits the convenience Of Turkey to do so,
the regulations are applied strictly or with
laXity.
AS TO the pork restrictions, that matter
is OF no pecuniary importance, as accord
ing 10 the statement of the Secretary of
Agriculture, only s13 worth OF pork was
exported to Turkey last year The United
States Government objected TO the resIric-
tions, however, on principle and lodged a
protest recently with the Porte.

Mr.. Johnston's Exhibit.


Among the most attractive and popular
collections is that of r. LeGrand John
ston, one of the Oldest. best-known, and
highly esteemed OF the local painters
There is about these pictures-landscape
with sheep and cattle-a sense of sunshine
and fresh air. which appeals 10 the poDu-
lar taste, and artistically is acceptable to
coruoisseurs and critics who speak more
authoritativey than the writer. whose ideal
of painting differs from this widely. That
art which most attracts him is where the
painter has interested himself more with
painting qualities than things. The little
picture. a path through a thin wood,
loaned by Mr.. Ralph Cross Johnston, ex-
presses the idea. There is almost noth~
ing. more charming here, and the fact that
It is from this connoisseur's collection is
in itself praise beyond anything the writer
might say of il.
Miss juliet Thompson's work and that
of Miss Mueden hangs in the atrium.
Theirs are pictures of which the local ar
lists always speak with justifable pride,
and although not prominently placed are
among the very best shown. BY this sensi-
BILE arrangement the exhibition has been
mace strong in every corner of il. The
interest does not wane anywhere as II
does in some OF the New York ANIMALS,
where the weak, embarrassing work is all
confined to some -of-the-way gallery or
section. The work of these ladies, Miss Meu
den and Miss Thompson, and that of other
equally able and sincere painters repre-
scented. will be considered in the second
and final review.
This fine exhibition is open TO severe
criticism at some points but it must be
remembered that notwithstanding its
shortcomings il completely oyershadows in
extent and interest every previous exhibit
ton of local work. The artists had no
nand in the selection, arrangement. or
hanging, and least of all modest Lucien
Powell who finds the honors showered
upon him almost embarrassing. There is
one thing however, the writer cannot for
bear calling attention to. President Mil
ler's portrait of himself an artistic work
which does credit 10 the exhibition, was
prominently centred on The line TO the
delight of the artists, who regard the
genial president of their society with af-
lection. Imagine the grief of the writer
TO find this picture later removed from
the place where it obviously belonged TO
an obscure point high up, robbed entireiJ
of the Importance first given it, The
writer's first inclination was 10 use his
influence and if possible have the picture
replaced where, in his judgment, 1t be-
longed. This he did not do. II would have
been manifestly unwise, for any attempt,
