scHLEY- SAMPSON CASE.
Admiral schley To Be Furnished With The
Governments List.

Another meeting OF Admiral Schley
and his counsel, Judge Wilson, Attorney
General Rayner and Captain Parker, was
held at Washington this morning. The
principal topic OF discussion before the
conference was to decide whether the
contemplated visit by counsel to the
Navy Department should be made today
10 submit the list OF witnesses and to ask
Tor the list of the governments witnesses.
1t is not unlikely that this mission may
be postponed until next Monday, when
Captain Lemly, the judge advocate OF
the court of inquiry. will have returned
to his duties. 1t is held by one of
Admiral Schley's advisers that visit TO
the Navy Department during Captain
Lemiy's absence may be fruitless. be-
cause Acting Secretary Hackett holds
that all matters relating to the court of
inquiry must be referred solely to the
Judge Advocate OF the court, and that
i've is the person authorized to treat with
Admiral Schley's counsel. In any event
there is no longer any doubt that Admi-
ral Schley will be furnished with the
governments list OF witnesses as soon as
It is completed.

THE MACHINE GUN.
Recent Trials Prove 1t To Be More Effec-
tive Than Small Arms Even In
Large Numbers,

The destructive power of the machine
gun as compared to the small arm even
in large numbers has been the subject of
interesting trials abroad, reports OF which
have reached the Navy Department at
Washington. That one machine gun
properly and effectively worked is equal
10 200 rifles in the hands of as many
soldiers has been amply demonstrated.
Each shot from the machine gun works
greater injury also to the body struck
than the small bullet OF the army rifle,
and its range is far greater.
In recent trials fifty marksmen were
chosen TO compete with the Hotchkiss
8-millimeter gun, which has lately been
widely adopted in France and Germany.
The ranges fired were from 400 and 500
yards. AT 500 yards the SO rifemen,
each having five rounds independently.
obtained 81 hits, or ~ 8 per cent of the
number OF rounds fired. ThiTty-two
men were then chosen from among the
so, and these had TO fire each eight
rounds in 80 seconds. Under these con-
ditions "a. or 1873 per cent. OF the rounds
expended, were recorded. The machine
gun was then brought into action. and in
38 seconds fired ali bullets, making las
hits. 1t was shown from the esults that
the machine gun was far ahead in hits
made and rapidity of fire. No such
practical tests of the relative merits OF
the machine gun and number OF small
arms have been made before.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as if the Day OF f ire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic, say, a sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier TO bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time OF year.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT is DUE.
Lieutenant Joseph Strauss Originated The
Idea Of The Superposed Turrets
For New Battle Ships.

Discussion of the superposed turret for
the new battle ships and the action OF the
experts in rejecting it in designs OF the
new vessels Congress will be asked TO
authorize next session recalls the fact
that advocates of Admiral w. t. Samp.
son have been attributing TO him the
initiation OF the system, which was first
applied to the Kearsarge and Kentucky
and is unlike the gun arrangement OF
any battle ships in commission.
Admiral Sampson was given the credit
for invenling these tuTrets. which were
as wide departure from generally ac-
cepted ideas of gun mounting as the
monitor varied from the type Of ship
built during the Civil War period. While
the tuIrets were developed during Admi-
raj SIMPSONS administration OF the Ma
val Ordnance Bureau and had in him an
enthusiastic advocate, the real inventor,
the man who is said to have first con-
ceived the idea OF placing one turret
above the other, was Lieutenant Joseph
Strauss. now in charge OF the Indian
Head Proving Station.
Lieutenant Strauss was then attached
10 the bureau. He is also the inventor
of other other ordnance devices, includ
lug rammer and breech loading mocha
nism for gun. He is regarded as one
of the most capable ordnance experts in
the navy, and he is the youngest officer
ever placed in charge of the proving sta
ton at Indian Head. He firmly believes
IN the correctness of the principle OF the
superposed turret, and is with Admiral
Sampson in his strong approval OF the
system. IL was Strauss who suggested
the superposed turret to Admiral Samp-
son and under whose direction the in
vention was perfected.

A BELLE AT NARRAGANSETT.
Kind Words For Miss Eleanor Terry, The
Beautiful Daughter of Admiral
Terry, II, S.N


Yesterdays Baltimore IEepad, which
contained fine portrait of Miss Eleanor
Terry, for some years a re sident here,
where she was quite popular, says
"Miss Eleanor Terry has been having
some nice things said about her in the
Chicago Inter Ocean. The Washington
correspondent of that publication. in a
recent letter, wrote: Miss Eleanor Terry,
the beautiful daughter of Admiral Terry,
has been enjoying her first season in
Washington. Admiral Terry is at the
Washington navy-yard, where his family
will likely remain for two or three years.
They receive on Mondays best
known people in Washington.
Miss Terry life has been one OF
travel and enjoyable experiences. She
lived at Annapolis, Md, until she went
to school IN Baltimore, where she spent
a good deal OF time. About that time
her father was in command OF the re-
ceving ship Franklin at Norfolk. Then
Miss Terry began to travel in her own
country. She visited friends in Virginia,
Kentucky and Western states before going
to California to spend six months, where
her father commanded the Iowa, then in
Pacific waters.
The naval officers daughter was
shown many couItesies while in San
Francisco. She would be popular girl
even il she were not an admiral daught-
er, for she is up to date in every accom-
plishment. Her voice is a fine quality
soprano, and her singing gives her many
friends much pleasure. OF course she
dances. Army and navy officers are
taught to dance as a part of their educa-
ton, and all girls in the army and navy
set are taught as well. Miss Terry is
belle at Narragansett this summer. She
is golf enthusiast and fine swimmer

Oolored Help Scarce.

The farmers throughout Anne Arundel
county, especially those OF the Third dis
trict complain OF the inability to secure
help. They say the colored men whom
they formerly employed on the farm and
in the dairy prefer to work at laboring
work on the Naval Academy and street
Improvements than to work on the farm.
They are offered SI.2o per day in the
Academy and have to find themselves.
whereas on the farm they received S25
per month and board. II is busy time
with farmers and they are much hamp-
cred by lack of help.

WANTS TO SPREAD ITSELF.
The New Naval Academy Reaching Out
To Extend It's Limits What Effect
1t Will Have Upon The "
Farnars
Farmers.


The survey. at the instance OF the Uni
ted States Government, that has already
been made looking TO the closing of the
public road that now runs through the
Government farm from the northwest
end of Dorsey's, or College creek bridge,
to the Government hospital, is an indica-
ton that the Government intends TO make
use of the large tract of land-II4 acres.
embraced in the farm as an appendix to
the Naval Academy.
Already the Government hospital has
been made an indispensable storehouse
for such articles as are temporarily out
of use in the Naval Academy, a large
garden has been laid out, fine conserv-
atory built, the residence OF the keeper
OF the grounds is here, and shortly the
quarters OF the marine guard will be
erected. These, in the extensive needs
of the new Naval Academy, will prob
ably be followed by other buildings. The
farm, the present Naval Academy and
the additions to the grounds TO be made
at once from Annapolis will make an
area not far from $50 acres.
The closing of the road also presents
a serious problem to the citizens OF An
napolis, the Third district and part OF
the Second district. Then egress from
and egress into the city by way OF King
George street will be entirely cut off, and
two ways are suggested to reach Annap-
olis-one by way Of ST. Johns street and
the other through Northwest street.
Either route would require new bridge
over Dorsey's creek. Northwest street
has the advantage of being wider thor
oughfare than St. Johns, but it has an
upgrade, bad for county roads, all the
way from the creek to the Church circle,
a distance of third OF mile.
Besides it will lead every traveller up
town and will lengthen considerably the
route tor the farmers from the Third dis
trict, who have business downtown at the
market, wharves or steamboats,. St.
John's street has one disadvantage--iti is
quite narrow-but an old proposition to
widen the street has been revived. Ii
would give an entrance from the Second
and Third districts to the center OF An
napolis, and almost directly at the depot
and near the State House. The people
of Wellsvew, the Third district and An
napolis are deeply interested in this
change OF routes, as it will mark a new
era in local trade and is so radical that 1t
must seriously affect number OF busi-
ness places in Annapolis.

SCOW SINKS IN MAGOTHY RIVER.
Heroic Rescue By The Crew Of Schooner
George S. Oripps'- Captain Reeds
Narrow Escape From
Drowning.

Drowning.
Capt. John c. Reed, OF Baltimore, oil
the schooner George S. CTipps," and
the crew OF that vessel had an exciting
experience on Saturday in the Magothy
River. during which time eleven lives
were at one time in peril. among them
that OF Captain Reed himself.
The schooner is engaged in trucking
from the Magothy 10 Baltimore. and
while receiving cargo at the former place
party. including three women and five
children, went on board the scow along
side, by means of which the schooner 5
freight is taken from shore. In addition
to this party the scow was managed by
two colored men. and these, as we'll as
Captain Reed. were involved.
Just after leaving the schooner for the
shore the craft. with the party on board,
settled and sunk, leaving them all strug.
Cling for lite in the water. The Cripps,
fortunately for all concerned, is fitted
with gasoline engine and propeller. and
was gotten promptly under way by Mate
Thomas, while Captain Reed sprang into
the water TO render assistance, despite
the fact that he is unable 10 swim. though
seafarer for the past iorty years. His
gallant attempt wellnigh cost him his
life. since he became exhausted.
In the midst OF the work of rescuing
the large party others OF the crew OF the
Cripps had to 60 to his assistance, and
only succeeded IN grasping him when he
had repeatedly sunk. One after another
all the victims OF the accident were gotten
on board the schooner, the mate and
crew OF the vessel working jointly on
deck and in the water in effectlng this
result. The fortunate Circumstance
that the mishap TO the scow occurred only
a short distance from the schooner and
the prompt action OF Mate Thomas in
starting the machinery proved the saliva
ton of the victims of the accident. Capt.
Reed was most seriously affected, but by
the earnest efforts OF others on board was
revived and fully recovered.
