IDEA OF APPOINTING MONsIGNOR GUIDI
ABANDONED.

IDEA OF APPOINTING. MoNsIGNOR GUGDI
ABANDONED.
Rome. Aug. 16.-It said to-day that the
Vatcan's idea of appointing Monsignor Guidi
of the office of Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal
Secretary of State to be Apostolic Delegate at
Manila, had been abandoned because he does
not know sufficient English to be sent there
and that he will be sent as Apostolic Delegate
to India instead.
AS to MOnsignor Conaty. rector of the Catho-
lie University at Washington, whose possible
appointment Apostolic Delegate at Manila
has been rumored. the Vatican denies that his
name has ever been considered in connection
with the Manila post. where 1t is pointed ont.
the conditions demand thorough man of husi-
ness. speaking f1uently English and Spanish.
OF unquestioned impartiality. and. withal. per
soma grata at Washington.
1t seems proba bic that Monsgnor Merry
del Val, who to have represented the Pope
at King Edwards postponed coronation. will
be appointed Papal Nuncio at Vienna, while
Monsignor Falconio the Apostolic Delegate in
Canada, may ultimately be transferred from
Canada to Washington.

erYs RIGHT TO A GERMAN Gun.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT GETS "A Ne"
ARTILLERY PIECE MADE BY
HERR EHRHARDT.

Rerlin Aug. 16-The United States War De-
nartment has bought from Herr Ehrhardt, a
gunn1aker of Dusseldorf the right TO rearm the
American field artillery with his piece.
Captain Henry D. Borup, OF the United States
Ordnance Department. is now at Dusseldorf on
this business, probably TO learn thoroughly the
construction of the gun. Herr Ehrhardt soio
10 the British Government several hundred
artillery pieces after experience in South Africa
tsd demonstrated the inferiority of the British
arm The gun which the United States has
ACQUIRED the right TO use is understood to be an
Improvement the model supplied to Great
Britain being lighter and of longer range
The United States ordnance officers have long
complained that their field gun was less effec-
tive than the French and German guns They
learned some time ago that the krupps had a
new light model and asked for exhibition
OF the piece. The Krupps declined. saying that
even II they demonstrated that they had the
best piece In the world there was no certainty
that the United States would take 1t. Herr
Krupp recently made gun OF exactly the same
hore AZ a certain American type, but consider
ably lighter. In test a few days ago II threw
shrapneI effectively six thousand yards, against
the American guns 2,9OO yards.
Besides his plant at Dusseldorf. Herr Ehr-
hardt has works a. Eisenach and hve years
ago established a branch at Pittsburg for the
manufacture of cartridges and shells. But this
venture proved Improbable, and the works
were closed the machinery being brought back
Germany.
Captain Borup is remembered among foreign
ordance officers as having been attached to the
Paris Embassy of the United States from which
he was recalled on intimation OF the French
Government that such step would be desirable.
This was due to his unusual success in pene-
trating military secrets.
