TESTS OF FIELD GUNS.
THREE SYSTEMS PROBABLY CHOSEN BY
BOARD-LONG RECOII. IN FAVOR


Washington, Aug. 21.-The test Of the seven
field guns subjected to trial at Sandy Hook and
at Fort Riley Kan, with view to the selection
Of a weapon of this type for in the
United States army. practically complete.
After the guns were tried at Sandy Hook, they
taken Fort Riley and subjected to an
arduous field test. and then brought back to
Sandy Hook. where they now. The Board of
Ordnance and Forttfcations. under whose au-
spices the tests were conducted, will meet next
Tuesday, either at the Army Building in New
York or at the Sandy Hook grounds, and begin
the preparation of its report and recommends
tons.
II is the general opinion Of army officers who
have witnessed the workings Of the guns that
the choice lies between the three long recoil
weapons-the ordnance gun, the Bethlehem
piece otherwise known the Lewis gun, and
the Ehrhardt gun. The complaint against the
short recoil weapons was that they jolted
themselves of range time and again, and
thus demonstrated great inferiority to the long
recoil guns. which kept firmly in place and al
lowed to the gunner a comfortable and steady
seat. It. therefore, appears TO be a foregone
conclusion that the board VIII recommend the
adoption of of the three guns mentioned.

GATES SURE HE WILL WIN
SEVERAL MONTHS MUST ELAPSE BD
FORE MEETING, AND MUCH MAY
BE DONE IN THAT TIME.

Denver Aug. 21.-The designations OF MessrS
Gates. Mitchell. Blair and Lambert as directors
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company were
sent to the headquarters of the company shortly
before the time for the annual meeting but no
action was taken by the board, as there was
meeting thereof.
1t is the opinion of attorneys that under the
law of Colorado the four men named are now
out as it is not necessary for any further action
to be taken OF the designations The movement
was made IN order that Gates and his friends
might occupy a better strategic position In the
great fght now under way to secure possession
of the management of the company
The Osgood management remains intact until
election is held. and if the stock book Is 10

announced by Chairman OsSOod several months
more may lapse. In the mean time Mr. Osgood
and his supporters will spare no efforts TO OBJ
tain possession of as many as possible OF the
proxies now held by Gates big pattle IN tne
courts is expected and the best legal talent VIII
be invoked on both sides .
1t is announced by officers of the company
that the fight will in no way interfere with the
large building operations now in progress at
Pueblo, and that all operations OF the COMPANY
will be carried forward usual
Mr. Gates is confident of victory and VIII pre-
sent his claim to holders of stock on the AtIan-
tic seaboard. 1t is conceded that many tno
majority of stock will win. and It Is also con-
coded that a compromise is an impossioliity.
The question of the parte iuJunctlon ISSUED
by Judge Mullins which caused an 1ndenniIe du"
journment of the annual meeting or snarenolo>
ers, may be argued Monday next
The fight at Denver for control of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company had the effect of depress-
ing company's stock still further in the stock
market yesterday. From a shade better than 81
the stock went down to % Il fall OF seven points
for the day On Wednesday it was hammered
down from So to So and rallied two points before
the close of the market.
Wall Street does understand the run mean
ing of the fight for control of the company. It IS
believed that John W Gates has a majority OF tna
stock and will set control Of the company some
day although John c. Osgood sun retains tns
presidency. The statement emanating from Mr..
Osgood's friends that Mr. Gates is working 70 turn
the company ever to the United States steel Cor
poration has had effect in depressing tne
companv's stock Another reason for the declno
is found in reports that Mr.. Gates will throw the
