RESULTED IN FAILURE.
Test of the Gathmann Gun Does Not
Fulfill the inventors Claims.

fulTill inc inventors SidimS.
New York, Nov. 16.-The test of the
Gathmann gun and shell took place
at the army proving ground on Sandy
Hook and resulted in failure. The
shell did no material damage to the
target. The failure Of Inventor Gath
mann's theory is ascribed by him to
an imperfect defamation of the fuse in
the interior of the shell. The army
officers, however, claim that they have
found convincing proof to the con-
trary and say that everything in con-
nection with the test was as perfect
as it was possible to make 1t in ac-
cordance with the inventors ideas.
The board has decided to give Sec
ond trial to which the inventor Is en-
titled. The second Gathmann shell
will be overhauled in the presence Of
Mr.. Gathmann for the purpose of
guarding against imperfections.

Mrs. Packard at Buffalo.

News dispatches from Buffalo tell of
pathetic incident at the exposition art gallery
when Mrs Helen n. Packard of Springfield,
Mass, viewing statuary group called IS Ell
Caney, suddenly became aware that the
scene depicted was that in which her tw 0
sons participated.
The story on which the group is founded
was told by war correspondent, and the
sculptor has given the story on the base of
the work, as follows:
'JuSt below the stone fort on the hill, sit
ting in the middle of the pineapple field,
came upon pitifui sight-a soldier sitting
on the ground, holding in his lap the head
of poor fellow who was literally shot to
pieces One bullet had gone through his
head, another through his lungs and chest,
blood poured at every breath. He was al
most dead and every breath sounded like
the noise made by pouring liquid from a
bottle, and his comrade kept the flies from
his face, that was clOtted with blood and
dirt, and waited. Occasionally, when the
poor fellow would grOan a bit louder than
usual, the friend would change the dying
mans position, but he held him as still as he
could.
"'Don't suppose there's a surgeon
about? he inquired, as l stopped.
81 told him there was not now, but would
be later.
WELL he remarked quietly, don't sup
pose they could help him. He's bout gone,
reckon
"The breathing became weaker and the
gurgling fainter and fainter as the grayish
pallOr began to show through the sweat and
dirt and blood, and, finally, without trem-
or, breathing ceased The soldier held his
burden moment until he saw the end had
come, and then laid his handkerchief over
the ghastly face and gently let the head
down to the ground and slowly got up.
know him? ?"
".My brother he calmly said. And then
he filled his lungs with one long, deep sigh
and gazed off to the hills for moment with
a faraway, thoughtful look, and / could see
that he was looking straight into some home
and wondering what mother would think"

Professor Edward Suess of Vienna,
the eminent publicist and paleontolo-
gist, has given an interview respecting
the industrial and political preponder-
ance of the United States, in which he
says that the present shifting of the
centre of gravity of the worlds forces
would create three great units-China,
Russia and America. When China was
equipped with railroads, he said, the
people would find that she had the most
capable merchants and the cheapest
labor. Russia would have the largest
army and be the greatest peasant State.
European capital would flow to the L nit
ed States and there would be an impor-
tant increase of her economic prosperi-
ty. OF the three the United States has
decidedly the lead Its policy was
commercial aggression.
