WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-The Connecti-
cut and Louisiana, the two new battleships
authorized by the last naval appropriate
bill. will carry the most powerful guns,
measured by caliber, in the world. With
the building Of each new set of battleshps
Admiral ONeil. chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, has tried to increase the power
Of the main batteries, and for the Connecti-
cut and Louisiana he intends to increase
the length of the big turret guns to 45-cal
lbers. Heretofore the longest naval guns
built have been only forty times their cal
iber. Not only will this lengthening of
the guns increase their efficiency as to
range and velocity (and therefore pene-
tratinS power), but it will constitute dis
unct advantage TO the ships. The muZZles
of guns of 4O-calibers when swung broad
side just reach the rail and the side blast
when hred prevents the use Of secondary
guns Immediately below. By increasing
the length to 45-caliber the muzzles of the
guns are carried well cupboard. Some i'm
provements also will be made to secure
higher initial velocity.

Speed of the BattIeship Maine.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-Although the
measured speed of the new battleship
Maine, which had her trial trip over the
Cape Ann course last Saturday was only
1876 knots, eighteen knots being her con-
tract speed, no doubt is entertained at the
department that when her tidal allowance
is figured out it will be found that she has
appreciably exceeded eighteen knots. 1t is
known that the tide was against her, but it
Will require several days to figure out the
corrected speed. If by any chance, the
correction should not bring her speed up TO
eighteen knots, she can ask for another
trial. However, in any event, the Navy De-
partment must accept the ship. Under the
terms of the contract with her builders she
must be accepted if she makes over seven
teen knots, subject to a penalty at the rate
of $4,000 for each quarter knot below
eighteen.

ton on Trusts.

ures peculiarly beneficial to the interests of
the Pacific coast. such as the reclamation
of arid lands the exclusion of Chinese, and
the isthmian calanl legislation.
The convention indorses the Firm but
enlightened policy pursued in the Philip
pines, which has secured peace in the
islands" and urges that contention over
our policy in the Philippines should now
cease and the beneficent plans of the civil
government be given the united and cor
dial support of all the people, The con-
vention recommends that liberal pension
provisions be made for the soldiers and
widows of the late civil war and of the war
with Spain. On trusts the convention eX-
presses itself as follows:
1--WE condemn all conspiracies and COM
bnes to restrict business, to create monop-
olies, TO limit production, or to control
prices and favor such legislation as will eff
fectually restrain and prevent all such
abuses protect and promote competition
and secure the rights of producers. laborers,
and all who are engaged in industry and
commerce, and we approve and commend
force the laws against illegal combinations
in restraint of trade, and pledge him our
hearty support in all his efforts to protect
the people from all oppressive combinations
of capital.

ton of government ships in government
navy yards and urges the adoption Of an
eight-hour schedule for labor on all gov
eminent work, whether performed in pub
lie or private establishments.

ton which will so regulate the process of

dent"
1t was quickly noted by the followers of
Governor Gage that the platform failed to
indorse the State administration, and
warm debate followed, il being declared
that the omission was for the purpose of
who is a candidate for denomination. The
matter was finally compromised by the
adoption of a resolution indorsing all the
State officials. Five candidates were placed
in nomination for Governor, namely, Henry
II. Gage, the present incumbent; T.. B.
Edison, the present railroad commissioner

Colombian Congress. Indeed. il is stated
here, the proposed extension was not even
submitted 10 the Colombian Legislature,
the country being then in disturbed con-
dition which precluded a calling together
of that body. However, Colombian officials
here point out that the questioned extern
sion of time has nothing whatever 10 do
with the present negotiations between the
United States and Colombia in regard TO thu
canal. No one in Colombia, they state,
questions for a moment the validity or the
franchise up 10 1894. The intervening time

New Things for the Army.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The army ord
nance bureau is experimenting at several
army posts with a new type of rife tele-
scopic 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 Phil
ippines a 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 become imbedded.
The cavalrymen want to try the detached
bolo bayonets for cutting through under
brush.
