TIE NEW AERIAL TORPEDO.
Gathmann's Latest Invention Proves
only a Partial Success.


New York, Nov. 16.-The Gathmann
aerial torpedo and the big 1S-inch gun
were tried at the proving ground at
Sandy Hook again to-day. Two shots
were fired and the heavy charge of
wet gun cotton with which each shell
was loaded was detonated. The first
torpedo fired did not damage the plate
or backing to any great extent. The
second was more successful, cracking
the plate from top to bottom and doing
considerable damage to the bracing.
Each shell contained 500 pounds of wet
CUR" cotton and ZIG pounds of powder
were used for the first shot.
The first shot was fired shortly be-
fore noon. The target was a mile
away. About mile from the gun are
number of bomb proofs, and the
spectators were ordered to take up a
position there to witness the firing.
The gunners, who were stationed be-
fore a shelter a quarter of a mile off,
fired the gun by electricity. A puff
of white smoke was seen and two ex-
plosions in quick succession followed.
The spectators, when they reached
the target, were greatly surprised to
see it standing apparently uninjured,
except for a dent where the she'll
struck. The plate had been driven
back about eighteen inches, and the
backing displaced slightly. The full
force of the 500 pounds of wet gun cot
ton Instead of wrecking the target
was expended in the air.
Mr.. Gathmann was greatly disap-
pointed by the result, and prepared for
a second test.
For this trial the gun was fired with
80 pounds of powder, which gave the
projectile a muzzle velocity of 10000
foot tons. 1t was then turned to the left
side Of the plate and when the she'll
hit it the cofferdam was considerably
damaged and several bolts were
knocked off and the end of the plate,
which was struck, was shifted about a
foot and q. half The back of the plate
was also cracked. Mr.. Gathmann
claims a partial victory

Emperor William Confers With Ger
man Steamship Directors.
Berlin, Nov. 16.-Considerable mys-
terry prevails here regarding the meet
ing of the directors of ocean steamship
companies at the Hotel Bristol last
evening. The meeting apparently was
Unexpectedly called. Herr Balm, direc-
tor of the Hamburg American Line, and
Herr Plathe, president of the North
German Lloyd, came first and were re-
ceived by the Emperor, and then the
other directors and secretaries were
summoned. A representative of the
government also attended the meeting.
The Kleines Journal says the ocean
companies directors have held confer
ences and discussed ways and means of
preventing the increasing American in
fluence over German lines.
The paper adds that New York capi-
talists have purchased several million
marks of shares in the Hamburg
American Line during the past few
weeks, but the excitement over the re-
insurance company of over 5000, 900
marks, of the North German Lloyd
Company's obligations, the Kleines
Journal considers unjustified since this
purchase does not affect the shares.
The Tageblatt to-day prints an Off
cial denial from the North German
Lloyd Company of the article. in which
it was stated that the company has
sold obligations to the New York In
Surance Company.
Herr Balm let Berlin this afternoon.

this intelligence is the information that

Given at the WOman's Building
for Commissioners and Prominent

Charleston, S. c., Nov. 16.-The So

1t is the intention of the ladies to
make the visitors feel entirely at home,
and the exposition period the most
brilliant in the social life of Charles

and chivalry of the state and the
South will be here to do him honor.
In addition to the "at homes and the
balls, tie women are providing for a
great many private receptions and
dances. so that the whole exposition
period will be made the opportunity of
bringing the people of the country to-
gether in the most intimate and pleas

500 bales of cotton, valued AT nearly
$4,000, and when the firemen reached

at something more than 100000.
Muse & Co. are fully protected by in
surance, but a number of farmers and
merchants had cotton in the warehouse
for storage and were not insured.
These will suffer heavily.
During the day several hundred

thus saved may reach several thousand
dollars.

This afternoon the rescue fire engine,
which had been pumping from the river
for about nine hours, became disabled
and the flames in the warehouse were
free to feed on anything they might
reach. The engine is being repaired
with all possible dispatch. Hundreds
OF bales Of cotton that might have
been saved but for the giving out of
the water supply and the subsequent
breaking down Of the steamer, were
burned before the eyes OF the helpless
onlookers. Americas is sending down

be in great danger should the wind
change.
