Electric Gun a Success.

a Norwegian scientist has just dem
onstrated with great success the pow
ers Of his electromagnetic cannon, the
special value of which is its capabil-
ity of discharging projectiles of such
strength that an ordinary field gun
could not stand. In times of war this
gun will prove a valuable addition as
life destroyer, but in these times OF
peace we believe the public is more
interested in something that will pro
long lif and make it more enjoyable,

Object to Creditors Invoiunsary Bank
 ruptcy Praccedings.

New York, April 11.-D. J. Sully & Co.,, through their attorneys, Des Pas sos Brothers, have entered demurrer in the involuntary bankruptcy proceed ings instituted by creditors of the firm. The demurrer states that the petitioners are not just, true and lawful creditors, that it does not appear upon the face of the petition that Sully & Go. have com mitted an act of bankruptcy, further that it does not appear that the peti- tioners have made such a case as en- titles them to any release. Daniel J. Sully, in a sworn appended statement, declares that the demurrer has not been interposed for the purpose of delay, but has been entered in good faith upon the advice of counsel. The demurrer was filed according to the statements of John R. Des Passes in the federal court for the southern district of New York. John R. Des Passos, in making the filing of the demurrer, states that the action is the most important ever taken in bankruptcy case He says also that if the action is sustained Sully & Co. will be freed from bankruptcy.

 censure.

Washington, April 1.-The Post will say tomorrow that the report of the Mccall committee which will be made tomorrow will criticise Fourth Assist ant Postmaster- General Bristow for the preparation of the charge s-concerning- members document, and will not cen. sure any member of the house.
 The basis of the. criticism of MT. Bristow," the Post will say, lis that he caused to be prepared an official docu- ment, in which the names of senators and representatives were connected,l without any reasonable excuse, with the names of then alleged and now convict ed criminals.
 The most that was found against members of the house is that they were guilty of indiscretions. In the pursuit of objects they had every right to pur- sue, some members followed methods that might subject them to criticism were it not that the methods had time honored precedents.
 While the methods may be criticised, it is the belief of the committee that members who followed them should not be censured, because, in the judgment of the committee, no member was guil- ty of moral wrong
