BRITISH GUNS DEFECTIVE.
Criticism by One of the English Service
Papers.

In view of the many criticisms that have
be en- passed in many quarters of the defects
Of the guns of the United States navy, the
ordnance officers of the navy have shown
great interest in similar experiences of
other navies, and the following is a state
ment made by one of the best service pa
pers of England in speaking of the British
navy:
Strenuous as the efforts of the author
tiles have been in some directions in regard
to the gunnery of British warships, in
others they have been lamentably slow. 1t
is not generally known, for instance, that
we still have first-class battle ships and
first-class cruisers in our first reserves and
even in some cases flying the pennant,
whose six-inch or 4.1-inch guns have the
now Anticipated three-mOtion breech mech
anism. Such a state of things is most de-
plorable with an arsenal like Woolwich and
SO many manufacturing firms in the coun-
try which could be set to complete the task
of altering these breech arrangements to
what is known as the oven door or single
motion mechanism. The latter fitting is one
which facilitates and secures rapidity of
fire by nearly 20 per cent, and thus should
be a great asset to a ship in a close fight,
when the difference between six and eight
rounds a minute might mean the difference
between defeat and victory to the ship pos
sessing the quickest mechanism.

DISCUSSING THE CANAL STRIP.
Department Building Bill Displaced as
Unfinished Business.

The bill for the government of the canal
zone was before the Senate all of yester-
day Mr.. Morgan occupied the floor the
greater part of the day.
When at o'clock the unfinished business,
the bill providing for a new executive de-
partment building, was laid before the Sem
ate, Mr.. Kittredge moved to proceed with
the consideration of the canal bill The mo-
ton prevailed, and the canal bill was made
the unfinished business.
The Senate at pm. went into executive
session. z-ts
The nomina ton of William D. Crum, to be
collector of customs at Charleston, S. c.,
was called up in executive session by Sem
ator Gallnger Senator Tillman explained
that he was not well enough to make a
speech today and the nomination went over
out of courtesy to him.
AT 2:30 the doors We're reopened and the
consideration of the canal bill was resumed.
Mr.. Morgan's motion TO strike out section
four was voted down.
The discussion related principally to the
details of governing the canal but some
consideration also was given to Mr.. Hale's
amendment requiring the use of American
bottoms in the shipment of canal supplies
10 the zone.
Mr. Bacon took exception to the provision
in section ID of the bill giving the commits
sion authority to grant pardons for offenses
in the canal zone, saying that power could
not De cOf1Stituuoliliy tdken from the
President. Mr.. Kittredge said that 1.-The
power of the President to pardon offenses
committed in this zone does not exist
Mr.. Hoar contended that the power to
pardon was not exclusively vested in the
President A general debate ensued and
was participa tedFin by Messrs. Platt(Conn !,
Spooner, Hoar, Bailey, Hopkins, Mitchell
and Nelson. II B..
The section was agreed to as it stood and
the reading of the bill proceeded
Mr.. Hale temporarily withdrew his
amendment, and Mr.. Mitchell presented an
amendment fromathe fcanal committee Civ
ing the Secretaryoof the Treasury authority
to protect public moneys on deposit in the
zone, which was agreed to.
Without completing consideration of the

CLEVELAND ATTACKED.
Political Discussion During Debate on
General Deficiency Bill.

Consideration of the general deficiency
appropriation bill was begun in the House
late yesterday afternoon. Although no one
addressed himself to the measure, Mr..
Hamilton (Mich) discussed the question of
capital and labor while Mr.. Cochran (Mo)
criticised the "usurpation of the legislative
power by the executive" and said that ex-
President Cleveland had given the most
notable instance of such usurpation in fore
ing his financial policies on the people. Mr..
Cleveland, he declared, was man whose
friendship meant destruction, whose touch
meant paralysis and whose support meant
dishonor, and one who had been put into
exile never again to be reinstated in the
confidence of the people

GUNNER MONSON A HERO
HIS PROMPT ACTION ON THE
MISSOURI SAVED TOTAL LOSS.
Shut the Magazine Door and Prevented
an Explosion-Damage
to the Ship.

A dispatch from Pensacola, Fla, says:
That the newest battle ship of the navy
the Missouri, had a narrow escape from
both being blown to pieces by the explosion
OF a magazine and also being beached came
to light today. Capt. William s. Cowles
prevented the latter when the vessel was
within $50 yards of the beach by giving or
ders that the ships course be changed.
Chief Gunner's Mate Monson saved the
ship and lives of over 600 men by jumping
into the open magazine and closing the door
behind him. 1t is stated, though not by
officers of the Missouri, that when the Off
GERS heard the explosion in the turret and
saw the fire leaping through the top they
realized the hot magazine would not ex-
plode, and headed the ship for the beach,
explosion. Capt. 0owles quickly stopped
the plan and put the ship back to sea.
When the first explosion occurred in the
turret the men in the handling room knew
in an instant what had occurred. The big
magazine door was open, and standing
against it were four charges of powder.
Without moments hesitation Gunners
Mate Monson showed these aside and jump
ed into the magazine, pulling the door
closed after him. The magazine was total
ly flooded with water, and when the men
opened the door they found Monson barely
alive, water having reached his neck.
Damage to the Missouri.
The damage to the battle ship Is much
greater than was at first stated. In addi-
ton to the large amount of ammunition
ruined by the magazine being flooded, which
will amount to thousands of dollars the aft
turret is also badly injured, the top being
burned away and all brass work melted in
side. The hoist is a charred mass, and the
mechanism of the guns completely ruined.
The estimated damage caused by the explo-
sion will reach $4,000.
The total list of dead now numbers thirty
two, one man having expired last night and
two men today. 1t is hardly probable that
other deaths will occur. o. B. Moe. APP
prentice second class; ]. F. Knight sea-
man, and j. T. Donnelly, ordinary seaman,
were added to the death list.
The funeral of seventeen of the seamen
occurred yesterday afternoon, and each ship
of the feet was represented, fully 5000 men
being present, while thousands from the
city were in attendance, every place OF
business being closed for the afternoon, and
flags over all buildings placed at haIf-mast.
The bodies of the officers and eight of the
seamen were shipped to their former homes
tonight, and the others are being held to
await advices from relatives. Three bodies
inferred this afternoon viii be disinterred
