POWERFUL GUNS.
American RattIeshIps TO be Provided
with the Longest Naval Cannon In
the World.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The Con-
necticut and Louisiana, the two new
battleships authorized by the last
naval appropriation bill, will carry
the most powerful guns, measured by
calibcr, in the world. With the build
ing of each new set of battleships
Admiral O'Neil, chief of the bureau
of ordnance, has tried to increase the
power of the main batteries, and for
the Connecticut and Louisiana he in
tends to increase the length of the
big turret guns to 4j caliberS. Here
tofOre the longest naval guns built
have been only 40 times their caliber.
Not only will this lengthcning of the
guns increase their efficiency as to
range and velocity (and therefore
penetrating power) but it will consti-
tute a distinct addition to the ships.
The muZzles of guns of 40 calibers
when swung broadsidc just reach the
rail and the side blast when fired pre-
vents the use of secondary guns inn
mediately below. By increasing the
length to As calibers the muZZles of
the guns are carried well out. Some
improvements also will be made to
secure higher initial velocity.
The army ordnance bureau is eX-
serimenting at several army posts
with new type of rifle telescope
sight. The new sight is known as the
long field sight" and is attached to
the rifle, running parallel with the
barrel.
The bureau also has sent out to the
Philippines consignment of bolo
bayonets. which are in demand
among the troops there, who believe
the curved bolo weapon to be much
superior to the straight bayonet in
hand-to-hand fights. The troops
have found difficulty in Withdrawing
the straight bayonet, once it has
became imbedded. The cavalrymen
want to try detached bolo bayonets
for cutting through underbrush.

corresponding increase in the numbes
of clerks. The rural free delivery oc-
cupies two floors of large Office
building opposite the department
proper; the division of post office
supplies is half a mile from headquar-
tiers; the railway mail service is more
than a quarter of mile away; and
the mailbag repair shop is also sep
arated from the department proper.
All of these divisions are connected
by the departmental telephone, but OF
course business cannot always be
transacted satisfactorily in that
manner.
There are now upwards of 10000
post offices, 4,4TO of them being presi-
dental, the remainder being fourth
class; all of them, however, are doing
a gradually increased business, which
must be supervised in this capital.

experience table to show a death rate
at 40 years Of 1879 per cent, start
ing with 100000 lives at 20 years. AS
to this table, DR.. Millard said:
81 am constrained to call the at
tention of this body to the fact that
our table shows at the age of 40
years that the mortality has in
creased about per cent. over that
of tables that have been standard in
the United States or Canada, except
in tropical experiences, for a long
time"
Denver, Col, Aug. 28.-The ma
tional fraternal congress on Wednes-

MORE MONEY WANTED.
The Secretary OF the Treasury Asks
National Banks 10 Increase TheIr
Circulation.

Washington, Aug. 29.-In view of
rumors as to Secretary Shaw's plans
for relieving the money market in
the event of possible stringency,
the secretary has authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
'The secretary recently invited
some of the larger national banks in
the principal cities to order addition
al amounts of circulating notes to be-
printed. National banks are entitled
to issue circulation to the full
amount of their capital. The aggre-
gate capital of national banks is
500. 900, 900. but the banks have out
standing only $35S,00O,OOO of circula-
tion. The secretary has hoped to in
troduce an element of elasticity into
the present system. His suggestions
to the various banks in the larger
Cities that they make preparation for
additional circulation have met with
very favorable responses. 1t is not
his intention that they should issue
this additional circulation at all
events, but only in case of actual
necessity and emergency"

WONDERFUL WORK.
Lieut.. Chandler Tells OF the splendid
Firing of tho American Torpedo
Boats-Every Shot Did Good work.

" -
Washington, Aug. 20.-1he navy
department has made public an cx-
tract from the report of Lieut..
Chandler, L. S. N, commanding the
torpedo fotilla, of the firing of his
vessels during the time they were in
spected by the secretary of the navy.
The report is as follows:
"Forming in exact column the fo-
tilla steamed north until abreast OF
the firing ground in Coddington
Cove, when the Decatur turned and
headed for the target in the cove
This target consists of three plat
forms or casks, about Is feet long liz
all, outside of which, at each end, are
two yellow flags, representing the
two turrets of the 5OO-foot battle
ship. Outside of these again are two
red flags representing the ends of
the same ships.
"Steaming bows on for the float,
when 1000 yards away, the secretary
pressed the firing key on the bridge,
and simultaneously discharged the
two torpedoes, one on each side.
They curved as set, and one went
Immediately under the center of the
float, while the other passed inside
the right hand yellow flag.
'While the Decatur was firing the
rest of the fotilla continued to the
nOrthward, countermarched and re-
turned close to the Decatur, about
800 yards from the target. The boats
passed the target at from II to 20
knots, and each one fired two tOrpe-
does simultaneously from her port
broadside.
"Of the - torpedoes fired by them,
one from the Stockton hung by the
tail from the tube, with the head
in the water, and finally wrenchcd
the tail off, but not before it had
been secured. OF the other II, all but
one passed inside the yellow flags,
and that one passed just outside of
the yellow flag.
81 believe that the results reported
above have never been exceeded be-
fore and | know of no record equal
to them. 1t is seen that out of IL
tOrpedoes prepared, but one failed to
run. Out of the 13 that did run, IL
hit between the turrets of the battle
Ship target, and the other one under
one of the turrets. Fully three
quarters of the shot would have
struck directly under the engine
rooms. All boats except the Decatur
were at high speed when they fired,
and she was only slowed so as not to-
OVerrun the target"

Charged with bribery and attempted
bribery of City Solicitor David J.
Reinhardt, Harry Martin, of Philadel-
phia, and Matthew H. Chadwick, of
Camden, N. j., are under arrest as a
of clever trap set for them by the
Wilmington official.
A policy game has been in progress
in Wilmington for some time, notwith-
standing the scandal which grew out
of the dismissal of Chief of Police
Massey from the force. The authorities
determined to bag the big hackers and
so it was permitted to continue, the
policy men becoming bolder all the
time. Hints were given City Solicitor
Reinhardt that if he protected the
game he would be handsomely reward
ed. Mr.. Reinhardt impaired this in
formation to Deputy Attorney General
Richards and scheme was laid to land
the alleged policy men. Mr.. Rein
hardt apparently fell in with their
wishes, and last Thursday Martin it is
alleged, introduced himself to the City
Solicitor. The trap was cleverly laid
with the eresult of two important arrests
being made. Martin and Chadwick
were held by Magistrate Hollis in
$1,000 and $4,000 bail.

Mrs. Armina Killeen, even if she
should survive her injuries, will be
disfgured for life as a result of the
murderous attack made upon her by
hel husband Monday. The wounds
inflicted by the AK have so mangled
her face that she is almost unrecog-

months old baby we're not of so seri-
GUS nature, but the physicians hold
out little or no hope of the mothers
recovery.
Jacob r. Killeen, the husband, in
his cell in Dover Jail, has already be-
gun to feign insanity. He begged for
mercy from her relatives who called
on him. A son of Killeen believes
that his father was angry with his
mother because she went to PhiladeI-

some money. This money, her father
states, he gave her before she left.
1t seemed to act as a red flag to the
