n.endations Of the board appointed to
conduct tests and report upon the value
OF disappearing gun carriages for sea
coast defense Colonel Wallace F. Ran
dolph. chief OF artillery. was president of
the board, which is composed Of srtil-
lery ordnance and navy Officers and one
civilian member. The board is unanimous
in recommending the continuance of the
manufacture OF disappearing of gun car
liGees for eight-inch. ten-inch and twelve
inch guns without regard TO high or low
sites. 1T recommends that no more six
inch guns be mounted on disappearing
carriages as the development of rapid
fire six-inch guns has made it essential
that they should be mounted on barbe,te
carriages The board recommends in
creased allowance for gunners IN order
that expert mechanics may be induced
TO engage in this branch Of work. It
also suggests that more protection be
given TO gunners who are the Only men
serving and much exposed, by providing
small movable shields.
In conclusion, the board says:
The board desires to record its opin-
ion that the general mechanical princi-
pies involved in the chief elements and

BIG ADVANCE IN THE
PRICE OF FINE WHISKEY
Especial Dispatch to III. Times.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.)
LOUISVILLE. September 19.-The fine
whiskey market, after months Of mac
ivity, has begun to rise. There Is a
strong demand for whiskey Of 1895. 1886.
1898 and 1899, and the prices have adj
vanced at the distillertes from 10 to Is
cents per gallon.
( These ages are closely held. and efforts
to buy in lots have proved unsuccessful
It is impossible to find single round
lot In the market OF whiskey of 1895 and
1896. The demand comes from blenders,
who want the whiskey for blending pur-
poses. One broker took an order for a
standard rye which he expected to get
for about 70 cents per gallon. He could
find only Is barrels In the market. and
had to pay 30 cents per gallon instead OF
20. Sales OF old whiskey can be made as
fast as it can be found.
The jobbers are expecting bis fall
business, as retail stocks are low, and
the retailers must replenish in time for
fall business and the holiday trade.
None Of the distilleries will start to ope-
rating until after January I. the price
of old corn being too high. It is thought
new corn can be purchased after that
date between ~ 1-2 and 45 cents.

WOULD NOT SEE
Her HUSBAND
Mr.. Anderson's Mission to Rich
mond to See His Wife, So
Far. Has Been in Vain,

Though Mr.. V. Anderson. CO the
United States navy, the husband of Mrs
Annie kessler Anderson, the young wo-
man who was shot a week or more ago
by Lewis D. Berkeley, has spent three
days in the city with the hope of being
allowed an interview with his wounded
wife, his mission so far has been in
vain.
Mrs Anderson, who is recovering from
her wounds at the City Hospital, has re-
fused to see her husband upon his sew
eral calls at the hospital, and has shown
little interest in his movements. Mr. An
derson made his last visit to the hospital
yesterday afternoon, and then had a
lengthy conference with Dr. TreviIlian
the surgeon in charge.
He has been showing much interest in
his wifes condition. and expressed a de-
sire to the physician to be Informed as
to her progress. He said he would re-
turn to Washington last night after be-
ing assured by DR.. Trevillian that his
wife was in a fair way to recovery
though she would not. be allowed to leave
her bed for three weeks yet. Mr.
Kessler, the father OF Mrs. Anderson.
had an interview with his son-in-law on
yesterday, out Geclii"u must eillpnatcal-
ly to give his consent to his visiting his
daughter.
The advertisement inserted in the
papers a few days ago by Mr.. Ander-
son stating that he would not be respon-
sible for debts contracted by his wife
seems to have widened the breach be-
tween husband and Wife, as since she.
has expressed herself as being hurt and
surprised that ha should have taken such
a course.
