The three tests were marked by the
wonderful accuracy with which they tut
filled the mathematical calculations OF
the army experts who have had charge
of the guns construction. The three
shots also proved that the special smoke

been accurately prepared The charge in
the three shots were from $50 to Gao
pounds of smokeless powder. and the
velocity Of the oO-pound projectile
when it left the muzzle. was from 2Go3

of the great charge of powder in eSpiod-
ing was from &. 1000 to SIS, 500 pounds to the

.BRAXTOH FOR SENATE|:
May Be.a Candidate, Though
Not Against Major
Daniel.

Hon a. C. Braxton, Of Stanton, has
been in the city several days attending
the Court Of Appeals. Mr.. Braxton
achieved wide reputation while a mem
Der Of the Constitutional Convention. and
was also one OF the most popular mem
bers OF the body. His ability. coupled
with his personal popularity, caused him
20 be mentioned for Governor, for con-
gresham, for member OF the Corporation
Commission, and more recently for the
United States Senate.
The latest runlor. one emana ting from
Washington sources, was that Mr.. Brax-
ton would be candidate for the United
States Senate this summer against Sen
ator Daniel. When asked as to this re-
port, Mr.. Braxton said:
1T is true that my friends throughout
the State are urging me to enter the
rage for the United States Senate, and
thet 7 am by no means nsensible or I'M
appreciative Of the great honor Of being
thus suggested as worthy aspirant
for so important and exalted an Office
Answering your question. may say
however, that in any event shall not
be q candidate against Major Daniel
Asked if that meant that he would be
candidate against Senator Martin in
1868, Mr.. Braxton preferred not to ex-
press an opinion on anything so far in
the future. Il will add" said he. that
II l am a candidate in 1905 or whether /
be candidate or not. I shall advocate
the nomination OF our United States SEN
ators by a primary. That is, in my
opinion. the fairest and most relia BILE me-
tIlod of ascertaining and giving effect to
the real choice of the people, for their
representatives in the most important

You have not said you will not be a
candidate in 1865 was the parting shot
of the reporter. but Mr.. Braxton only
smiled good naturediy.

NEW YORK, January 1.-THE steam

5 hours. and 20 minutes days. Is hours.
and Is minutes behind the ships best
record. There was no accident of any
'Sind at any time: and although heavy
weather was encountered, practically al
Of the delay was caused by inab ility to
get up good steam in the defective boil

The passengers became highly indignant
when they learned of the poor progress
the vessel was making, and an indigna-
ton meeting was held, at which the line
was severely censured for permitting pas
sensers to embark on a steamer in the
condition the ST Louis showed. A state
ment was drawn up. and given to the
public on arrival here to-day, by a COM
mittee chosen TO set forth the grievances
of those on board. Many of the first-class
passengers declared their intention to
enter suits against the company. and
their cases were placed in tie hands Of
