A hundred foreign miners taken 10 Ber-

BIG GUN DID
LITTLE DAMAGE.
Test Of Gathmann'S InVGn
tiOn a Failure.
THE TARGET MERELY DEHTED.
Wet Guncotton in the Projectile
Failed to Explode Invent
or Says the Shell Was
Imperfect.

| SANDY HOOK, y. j.. Nov. 15.-The
| Gathmann gun was failure in the test
which took place this afternoon at the
| Government Proving Grounds here.
The big shell. charged with 800 pounds of
| wet guncotton, made slight impression
| upon the target. a twolve-inch army
gun fired a projectile entirely through a
similar target. An imperfect fuse is said
| by Louis Gathmann, the inventor Of the
| gun, to have been the primary cause Of
the failure today Anothertest. however,
will be made tomorrow morning.
The Target Not Injured.
The shell fired flom the Gathmann gun.
which is of eighteen-inch bore, broke into
bits when ii struck No material damage
was done to the target plate. The wet
guncotton, which was the destructive
power of the torpedo. did not detonate. A
small quantity of dry guncotton, which
was to have exploded the wet cotton
failed to ignite when the shell struck, but
the inventor says that this dry cotton was
not packed close enough to the effective
explosive to produce complete detonation.
The only explosion was that of the dry
cotton. To imperfect packing OF his shell
Gathmann attributes his failure, but he
believes that only the particular shell
fired was defective. and that tomorrow he
can prove that his invention is practi
cal. The failure of the guncotton to act
upon the explosive is regarded by experts
in ordnance as practically condemning
the entire gun. The shell of this gun
was its destructive feature. and the value
Of Claimants invention hinged upon
his ability to explode wet guncotton.
Gathmann's method Of decorating wet
guncotton was to do so by first detonat-
ing dry guncotton. Through the middle
Of his shell he ran a channel. When the
nose Of the torpedo struck, plunge"
went down the channel and ignited three
caps of mercury. The mercury detonated
the dry guncotton, which was to have in
turn detOnated the wet.
General wheeler Present.
The only explosion in the test today was
produced by the small quantity of dry
guncotton. That was sufficient to blow to
pieces the shell. but not to make any ma
terial impression on the armor plate tar
get.
When the gun was fired there was
puff of smoke as the powder used TO drive
the projectile from the gun went of, and
then another puff when the dry guncotton
detonated when the shell struck the tar
get Afterward bits of the wet cotton
were found near by, and some of the shell
was thrown some distance, but the dry
gurcotton was the only explosive force
at work
After having postponed the trial of the
gun on both Wednesday and Thursday be
cause schooners had anchored near shore.
and within possible range, it was found
practicable TO fire today. Lieutenant Ger
eral Miles and other army and navy Off
GERS came down on the two preceding
days in hopes Of seeing the gun fired. but
were disappointed.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler was the only
officer here today besides those stationed
here and members of the committee ap-
pointed TO pass upon the merits of the
gun.

When last seen she had her decks
awash, and is believed to have gone
down. If this boat and her barges have
been lost, twenty more people have
been drowned. There are numerous re-
ports Of individual causuaties all along
the river from Buras down to the
Passes. All the steamers which start
ed for the sea Tuesday remained inside
the Passes until Wednesday evening
and then went out safely, among the
number being the Cromwell liner Pro-
teus and the British transport Mechani-
clan, which was dynamted while in
port few days ago. Not single YES
sci has passed up the river since the
storm began, and great fears are en-
tertained for the ones that are ex-
pected.
There is serious apprehension con-
corning the Chenier Caminada and
Grand Isle sections, ON the South
Louisiana coast west of the Mississippi
river, where 1000 lives were lost In 1898
by the tidal wave. UP to this writing
no word has been received from that
section, which is largely inhabited by
fishermen, mostly Chinese and Malays.
Up to last midnight everything SEEM
ed to be safe at the Mississippi coast
towns, Bay st. Louis, Pass Christian,
Biloxi, Mississippi City and Ocean
Springs, but since then not word has
been heard from them. All wires are
down, but no great fear is entertained.
The only reports of damage SO far re-
ceived are of destroyed lighthouses and
uprooted tires.
Up to midnight, no communication
had been established with Mobile. The
Western Union here has hundreds OF
messages for that city, consisting main
ly of inquiries as to the whereabouts
and safety of people from all parts of
the country. But the telegraph COM
pany is unable to move one of them.

to New Orleans, routed via Jackson and

STEEL COMPARYS THREAT
70 REMOVE THEIR PLANTS
FROM THIS NETGHBoRHOOD W.
LESS THE MEN RETURN TO
WORK AT EARLY DATE.
AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT.
Managers Say They Have Received
Such Suggestions from the High
0fGciaIs-Au Quiet at Benwood
and other Points.

The United States Steel Corporation
policy seems to be to remove all mills,
where the people are antagonistfc to
non-union labor From reports re-
cieved from other parts, grea cor
poration has notified its en-
ployes in several places that they would
move their plants. unless the workmen
accepted their terms. This order did
not reach this section until yesterday.
| At a meeting Of the employees at Cam
bridge, Wednesday evening, they I'M
animously voted to ignore the threat
to remove that plant and to stand firm.
This was the first threat to remove
mills in the Second district, which in
eludes this city, Bellaire, Martins
Ferry Wellsville. Benwood Bridgeport
and other towns.
The Register was informed yesterday
by manager of one of the largest
plants in this valley. which employees
near 1000 men, that he had received a
communication that the trust was SER
iously considering the removal of all
their plants in the Second district,
owing to the animosity shown by many
people against the corporation, and
their position on unionism. He furth
er stated that the trust was contem-
plating moving their larger plants
farther west, where they would not
come in contact with such prevalent
unionism.
1t is understood that this news was
communicated to all managers in this
district.
If such action should be taken the
effect can be imagined.
But on the other hand the corpora
ton would be undertaking an expendi-
ture of enormods sums of money to
raach territory wherein they have no
assurance unionism may not grow and
be as prevalent as in the Ohio valley
he cost of removing, the purchasing
of sites, and acquisition of shipping ia
cilities is matter of great Importance
and one that will be fully considered
by the steel company.
