The projectile weighs 2,370 pounds,
and no armor protectian carried by
any Warship would prevent the sink
ing Of the ship If hit at range of
ten to fifteen miles. The gun Is the
largest yet built for coast defense, and
1t is not likely to be duplicated in this
country or abroad.
The Belleville boiler, originally in
tended for seven ships IN course Of
construction for the British navy, will
be displaced by some other type less
Objectionable. The battleship Queen is
to have large Yarrow boilers, and a
sister ship, the Prince of Wales, will
be fitted with Babcock & Wilcox boil
ers. The Encounter, a second-class
cruiser, is to have the Durr-Thorney-
croft boilers, and sloop named Mer-
lin will be fitted with Niclausse boil
ers.
Prince Adalbert, son of Emperor
William, who recently Joined the navy,
has received his first lesson in naval
discipline. The youngster had a ter
rier as a constant companion and the
dog followed it's master on board the
training ship. The captain objected to
the dogs presence as contrary TO the
regulations, but the young prince de-
INJURED against being subjected to a
strict Interpretation of the navy law
in his case, which, he commended, might
apply to other ordinary officers, but
not to prince. The captain wrote to
the Emperor, who in turn notified his
sailor son to submit to navy regula-
lions, and the dog was sent ashore.

Estimates of the, cost of the recently
built battleships in England have been
largely exceeded. The excess on the
Ocean in 100000, the Campus 100000,
and the Goliath 100000
Two battleships named La Republic
and La Patrie are about to be built in
France. They are to have speed or
eighteen knots, and to carry batteries
of four 12-inch, eight 6.4-inch and
twenty EIGHT smaller guns.
The new 9.2-inch gun made at Els
wick has a record of firing five shots
in one minute. This, of course, is no
to be accepted as it's capacity on boars
ship, but one round per minute will b
quite satisfactory if attained in actua
practice at sea-.
The Reina Mercedes, which was sunk
in Santiago harbor July 4, 1898, and af-
terward raised and towed to the Unit
ed States, is to be extensively repaired
and fitted with new machinery to be-
come a training ship. In view of the
fact that our navy has several cruis-
ers which the advances of recent years
have made next to obsolete, it appears
not to be economical or wise to ex-
pend half a million dollars on vessel
built fourteen years ago.
The engineer corps in the British
navy is becoming restless under exist
ing determinations and failure of the
admiralty to properly recognize the
value of the engineer branch. Its
grievances and demands are briefly as
follows:
The engine room complement to be
classed as a military branch.
The senior engineer officer should
have minor disciplinary powers under
the captain in the engine department.
To have the right to sit on courts
martial, and to have all the privileges
of the military branch, save command
To have an engineering representa-
tive in the admiralty, and finally an
increase in force, pay and rank.
The range of the 16-inch breech-
loading rifle made at Vatervliet gun
foundry has been figured out at veloci-
ties varying from 1000 to $500 feet per
second as follows:

\ CONFERENCE TOMORROW
haffer Thinks an Agreement
 Will Be Reached.
Meeting Will Be Held for the Purpose of Signing for ! the Mills as Q
 Whole. -.

Pittsburg, July 9.-A more hopeful atmosphere pervaded the headquarters of both the steel combine and the Amalgamated Association today.
 As a result of the preliminary con- ference between President Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association, and Walter Arms, representing the compa- nies in this city last evening. The Wells vile trouble, which yesterday threat ened to undo all that had been done toward effecting a peaceful settlement of the strike, was not referred to to- day and everything pointed to an ami- cable adjustment of all differences at the general conference arranged for next Thursday in this city.
 President Shaffer said he considered the questions to be considered at the conference to be most grave and for that reason he thought 1t best to call in the executive board. composed of the highest officers of the Association. instead of consulting with the con- ferees. who usually meet to consider such questions.
 This board has only been called to- gether once before and that was dur ing the trouble at the Woods plant at McKeesport last April It is composed of President Theodore J. Shaffer. Vice President F. J. Williams of Birming- ham, Ala; Vice-President Glenn Jar wis of Anderson, Ind; Vice President Charles S. Davis of Newport. Ky: Vice-President Walter Larkin of Wheeling, N. Va; Vice. e-President John R. Ward, of Youngstown. "; Vice. President John W. Quinn. of Granite City, Ill.,; Vice-President J. R. Reeves. of Pittsburg, and Vice-President John Chappelle of Youngstown, O.; Secre- taries John Williams. M. F. Leighe, V. F. Davis and National Trustees
 Our Board" said President Shaffer. will meet the committee representing the combine in conference at the Ho- tl Lincoln in this city at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning. I am now pretty well satisfied that the trouble will be settled at this meeting. There seems to be a spirit of fairness prevailing among those to whom l have talked officially on the subject. and I think we will fix matters up. The meeting will be for the signing of the mills as a whole"
 In response to the query as to who would make up the combine commit tee. MT. Shaffer said that he did not know.
 Do you think President Schwab will be one of them" was asked.
 II don't know" was his reply.
 Among those on the outside who professed to know. however, 1t was said that the conference would in this case be governed for the United States Steel Corporation by general officers and not by any of the operating off, cials of the underlying companies. Should this not be the case 1t will mark a decided change of dealing with the labor question with the Amalga- mated Association.
 The firm determination of the United States Steel Go. poration to remain out of such negotiations and allow them to be settled by the officials of the various subsidiary companies will have been entirely changed and in place the gen. eral officers will undertake to settle the labor matters for the entire interests of the grater corporation.

NO CONCESSIONS MADE.
Mclean and Kilbourne are in Com
 plete Control at Columbus.

Columbus. O.. July 9-The McLean-K Kill bourne element at the district meetings this afternoon secured control of all the committees and will accordingly have eH- erything their way at the Democratic State Convention tomorrow. They were so strongly in the majority that there was no friction.
 In the twentieth and twenty-frst dis tricts. which include Cleveland the Johnson men had things their way as much as the Mclean men In the first and second districts. which include Cincin- nati But in the rural districts the lat ter element got almost everything. The controlling eelment did not ride rough shod over minorities in any of the dis tricts. but when names were proposed for places on the committees there were in- quries as to how they stood and If the replies were not satisfactory they were exSused" in some cases as quietly as ju- TOTS and in others with ballots.
 The McI.ean-Kilbourne element. while unusually courteous. made no concessions. The old State Committee met previous to the district meetings and gave the ticket s to the McLean-Kilbourne men where there were contesting delegations. and they took all the districts except those which include Cleveland. in which, under the unit rule. they could not control a vote. But the Johnson men, after the re- suit of the district meetings, promptly

CUBAN CONVENTION.
Committees Protect for an Electrical
 Law Rejected.

Havana. July 9.-The Cuban Consti- tutional Convention this evening re iected the Committees project for tne electoral law by a vote of 13 to l2. The conservatives claimed that the law, as proposed was too radical, inasmuch as if provided that there should De non interference with the elctions by the central government and because the last elections showed 1t to De impossi- ble to conduct elections honestly MMltn- M out some restraining powers Ihey pointed out that the provinces ana mu- nicipalities were as yet unable 10 gov ern themselves and contended that free hand regarding elections would result in calamity to the country. III the opinion of the conservatives the first elections under the election law should be conducted with all possible safeRuards with safeguards equal at least to those provided by the military governor. Rather than accept the Com mittee's project, the Committee said they would favor holding the elections under the existing law and leave to inc pablic the task of drawing up suitable law later. ...
 Another objection was that party lines had not been clearly defined as vet, and that the law provided for po- iiticaI representation on the election boards. which, under existing condl- tions. would be farce.
 A new commission will be appointed tomorrow. The conservatives claim 6 majority in favor of the plural vote, based on the Belgian law.

CANNOT CoMPRoMIsE.
Gage Compelled to Refuse N. De-
 Wits Offer.

Washington, July 9.-Apother impor- tant exchange has ocurred between the Russian Government and the United States relative to the tariff. The Russian Minister of Finance. M. DeWitte, has proposed that Russia will vacate all of the adittonal duties levied on American goods since the imposition of the sugar differentiak if the United States will va cate it's action on the sugar diferentiai. To this Secretary Gage has replied that the offer of the Russian Government can-- not be acepted since the question of sugar differentials is now in the hands or the courts. thus precluding action by the executive branch.
 The reductions under M. DeWitts offer would affect manufactures of cast iron. boiler works. tools for artists, factories and workshops; gas and water meters. motors and dynamos, sewing machines. portable engines. not including thresnins machines, fire engines and other machin- cry of iron and steel: also white rosin. galipot, brewers pitch and bicycles,
 M. DeWittes letter said the second re taliatory movement on bicycles and rosin was not due to the American action on petroleum, but that 1t related to the American action on sugar.
 This Is thought to be the result ot sec retary Cages reply to Russia to the ei- feet that its action in increasing the duty on American bicycles and resin was violation of our treaty with that country

ditorium Endeavor was addressed by Secretary Baer who spoke on ,"Six P(eas) in a Pod" He said when ap- piled to- ethics, they stand for polite ness. patriotism, punctuality, practica- bility, perseverance and prayerfulness. Then followed numerous exercises by the Junior Endeavorers, by the local churches and the children of several orphan asylums. The children filled the immense stage, dressed in white. and made very pretty picture as they filed across the length of the footlights to sing and go through their various evolutions.
 The older Endeavorers spent the af- ternoon in their respective denomina- tional conferences, of which there were twenty-six, and which were held in the various churches about the city.
 This evening was devoted to recep- tions and rallies at the various State headquarters. Tomorrow is the clos ing day of the convention.

NEGRO ON WAR PATH.
First Shot Mules and Then Human
 Beings.

Douglas, Ga, July s.-Iake Devoss. a negro laborer on James McKinney's
 plantation, was working a team ot rna1es this morning. The mules baked and Devoss flew into a rage. FlogginR failed to move the mule. The negro went to his house, got Winchester rife and shot both mules dead. Devoss's s wife expostulated with him. and he turned the rife upon her, inflicting a wound which may prove fatal. James McKinnnon, who owned the mules. and his brother Charles. attracted by ihe shooting, started for the scene. The now wildly infuriated negro saw them coming and began shooting at them. Charles McKinnon was instantly killed and James McKinnon was so badly wounded that he will probably die Then Devoss escaped to the swamps. The county authorities were notified and started in pursuit of the murderer with bloodhoundG.

A DEFICIT OF $225, ,267.
Endowment Rank of Pythians in
 Financial Straits,

Chicago. July 9.-The endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias has deficit
 This announcement was made by su- preme Commander O. H. Fethers today to the supreme lodge of the order, which has been assembled in this city for the purpose of looking into the aaffirs of the rank
 Mr. Fethers's announcement was based on the official report of insurance com missioners of Illinois. Connecticut and Kansas. who made an exhaustive exam ination of the financial condition of the order and copies of these reports were placed in the hands of the representatives. Before the rank can really continue do- ing business as an insurance institution. this deficit must be made good, and the question of how this is to be done and the greater one of how the funds of the organization are to be safeguarded in the future occupied the attention of the supreme lodge officers and representatives all day today and far into the night.
 That there has been misrepresentation of funds of the organization by past offi- cers of the endowment rank was freely charged in the reports as well as In the meetings today and there was said to be little doubt that after the supreme lodge had finished dealing with those who are thought to be responsible the evidence will be laid before the States attorney with request that 1t be submitted to the grand jury.

WORK OF A RIPPER" 1"
A Woman Stabbed to Death and .
 Girl Maltreated.

Denver. Colo, July 9.-Mrs. Armenia A. BulIis, 62 years of age. was murdgr- ed last night on a lonely road near the city limits, being stabbed to the heart, and Jessie Kinport. N years of age was assaulted at her home and terra- bly mutilated with a knife.
 Christian Jensen, farm hand. who Is in custody, has confessed he mur- dered Mrs. Bullis. He says she ran against him on the road, and, beiev- ing she had a gun, he stabbed her. He Is believed to be crazy.
 Mrs. Bulls lived on a small farm and was walking home when stabbed. Rob- bery was evidently not the motive for the murder, as the wonans money was not taken.
 Chief of Police Armstrong Is of the opinion that the assault upon Jessie Kinpoft was not committed by Jensen, Although some circumstances point to him. The girl was alone at her home when assaulted. The girls assaiiant gained access to the house through window. He checked her, cut her and otherwise maItreated her. She was found lying on an ash dump about midnight by searchers after an alarm had been given by her mother, who, on returning home. found her cNld' s bed empty and bloodstained. Physi- clans believe the girl will recover.
 It has developed that young man was at the Kinport home calling on the girl and remained until after ID o'clock. Jensen was arrested about 9.45 o'clock in the evening, making 1t impossible for him to have committed the assault A crowd of several nun dred gathered outside of the jail to7 night and made threats ow lynching Jensen. A report came to the station that a mob was coming from South Denver to take Jensen from the au- thorities and lynch him. Chief Arm strong decided that Jensen would De safer out of reach. and he was taken to Colorado Springs on the s:SO O'CLOCK train.

MAY GO FOR NAUaHT.
Rogers's Nephew May Get the Entire Estate.

New York, July 9-The Journal and Advertiser says:
 All the precautions of Jacob s. Rog- CTS to disipherit his relatives may go for naught by reason of an error-in- tentional or otherwise-he made in his will. but which. according to lawyers, must stand as 1t reads. The error ap- pears in the codicil dated October 2, 1900. The codicil reads:
 q hereby further will and bequea tn to my nephew. Theo. B. Rogers, IT,, son of by brother. Theodore Rogers, the sum of seVenty-five thousand dol lars. J. g. Rogers"
 Thus the codicil gives to his nephew $75.000, 900. or about ten times the amount of the estate. Necessarily it leaves no residue for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The paragraph. as is the entire will. is in the handwriting of the testator.
 The error, if error it be, is unerased and unchanged. Lawyers say it must stand aa it is
