FREE THINKERS AT ROME.
Vatican Organ Objects to Their

Vatican Organ Objects to Their
Presence in the City.
Rome, Sept. 2O-The Congress of
Free Thinkers assembled here to-day
at the Roman College erected by Pope
Gregory XIII. The event assumed spe-
cial Importance, this being the ami
versary of the fall of the temporal
power of the Popes, and also on ac-
count of the recent Franco-Vatican
conflict. There were over 5000 dele
gates present. Ten delegates came
from America, including DIR. Moncure
d. Conway of New York.
Prof. Sergi presided and delivered
an address. which was warmly ap-
plauded, clarifying the triumphs of
science over superstition. He hailed
the fall of temporal power, condemned
Catholicism as prehistoric and pro-
tested against war, ending with advo-
eating an indissoluble alliance of ma
tions and the universal brotherhood of
the peoples.
In the Osservatore Romano, the or
gan of the Vatican, the following no
tice appeared:

ARMY'S NEW MAGAZINE RIFLE.
Lighter in Weight, Yet More Dead
Iy Than the Old Krag.
From the New York SIM

Washington.-The new magazine rifle
soon to be placed in the hands of every
soldier in abe United States army is
believed to be the most efficient weapon
yet evolved by modern ordnance ex-
perts. 1t is a composite invention. the
result of study and experiment by Col
Frank H. Phipps of the Ardnance De-
partment, assisted by officers and en-
ployes at the Springfield Armory. Mas
sachusetts.
The new rife disposes of all of the
objections made against the rifles here
tofore used by the army, and possesses
several new and interesting points of
superiority over foreign models.
The Krag-Jorgensen rife, first adopt-
ed in 1892 and remodeled i'm 1896 and
1898, is inferior to the rifles of several
foreign armies In muzzle velocity. II
will send a bullet at the rate of 1000
feet a second. A velocity of 2.20O feet
a second as the bullet leaves the nuz-
zle of the gun is the record of some
FOREIGN rifles.
Experiments were made with the
Krag to increase this muzzle velocity,
but IL was found thai the mechanism
was not strong enough TO resist the in
creased powder pressure. So in 1899
an entirely new model was taken up,
resulting In the perfecting of the
United States magazine rifle, model of
1903" of 80 caliber, the same as the
old rife. which is now being turned
out at the Springfield Armory.
BY Jan. /, $4,000 of these rifles will
be ready and the army will be equip
ped. Every soldier will have one. as
the arm Is as well adapted TO the cav
airy as TO the infantry. being as short
and compact as the old army carbine.
A board Of officers was appointed
soon after the new rifle had been per-
fected for the purpose Of making ex-
haustive tests to determine whether
the rifle was suitable to the United
States service and whether il was sufii-
GENTLY superior 20 justify its substitu-
ton for the Krag-Jorgensen. This
board consisted OF Capt. Frederick S.
Foltz, Second Cavalry; Capt Frank
Dew. Ramsey, Ninth Infantry; Capt.
Tracy G. Dickson Ordinance Depart
ment. and Capt. Fred l.. Munson. Ninth
Infantry.

range of the weapon is computed at
4,7S1 yards, requiring an elevation of ~
degrees, the bullet making this distance
in IS seconds. The maximum energy
of free recoil is Is foot-pounds.
In the penetration tests it was found
that at so feet the bullet pierced 81
inches of white pine butts, made of
one-inch boards placed an inch apart
These pine butts, thus placed, fairly
represent the resistance of the human
body. Firing into moist sand at so
feets the bullet penetrated 10 feet s
inches, while at 500 yards the missile
penetrated IS inches. At so feet the
bullet went through a low steel plate
one-third of an inch thick, and at 200
yards it went through a high steel
plate one-flfth of an inch thick.
The English army authorities have
recently adopted a new rife which in
appearance greatly resembles the new
American rife. 1T is regarded as in
ferior to the American arm however,
in all except one particular the Eng
fish rife may be fired ten times with
out reloading while the new Krag has
a magazine holding only five car
tridges.
In increasing the magazine capacity
the English ordinance experts not only
added to the weight of the arm, but
BLtaCneQ TO IL projecting Helalnc
cartridge holder which is rather awk-
ward and cumbersome and 1t may be
said. therefore, that the additional adj
vantage obtained by doubling the mag
azine capacity is minirnized to some
extent by the extra weight and cum
bersome attachment. The English RI
fle, like the American is covered with
wood. It does not have the ramrod
bayonet or any bayonet that is prac-
tically part of the gun. The old sword
bayonet which the soldier carries in
a scabbard when not an dress parade
or charging an enemy, is retained. 1t
is affixed to the rife by locking into
projecting ianges, which are done
away with in the American arms.
American army officers regard the use
of a trowel bayonet, like that
of the English piece, as unneces-
sary for digging intrenchments. They
hold that the occasions when a bayo-
net would be needed for that purpose
will be few, and are convinced that the
ramrod bayonet which is lighter and
never in the way. will serve all pur-
poses in actual warfare.

children and their childrens children,
unto the remotest generation, not mere
ly a reunited country; not merely the
sense of belonging to nation which
has before it a future so vast that
even its most loyal sons can hardly
venture to anticipate it, but you left
to them also the memory of the way
in which that formidable army of
fighting men, when once the war was
ended, turned forthwith to the pur-
suits of peace and showed themselves
good citizens at home just as they had
shown themselves good soldiers at the
front.
In any great crisis of war this ma
ton must rely mainly upon it's volun-
teer soldiery, and the veterans of the
Civil War have left us forever the
model of what such a soldiery should
be. We of the younger generation owe
you a debt greater than we can ever
pay, alike for the lessons you taught
in war and for the lessons you taught
in peace.
with the heartiest regards, and with
every cordial wish for the success of
your reunion. believe me. very faith
fully yours,
Theodore Roosevelt.

society assurances of my regret and
very grateful appreciation? Very truly

Whitelaw Reid in his letter called
attention to certain errors in official
reports of battles in which the army of
the Ohio were engaged and suggested
that these misrepresentation should
not be permitted to stand.

FAIRBANKS AT BALTIMORE.
Republican Nominee Made a Pro-
tective Tariff Speech.

tective Tariff Speech.
Baltimore, Sept. Ex-senator Charles
w. Fairbanks was the chief speaker
at a Republican mass meeting held in
this city tonight, the event being the
formal opening of the Republican cam
paign in Maryland.
In his speech Senator Fairbanks de-
clared that the losses of Baltimore in
the conhagration of this year were not
so large as those sustained by the city
during the last Democratic admins
tration as a result of the temporary
overthrow of Republican principles. He
declared that during the Cleveland ad-
ministration business in this and other
large cities was checked, pay rolls were
reduced and the wage rate diminished
On the subject of protection he said:
THE Republican protective system
is in issue in the pending campaign.
The Democratic party, true to it's
traditional policy of hostility to it, has
declared protection to be robbery Its
triumph would be a direct and posi-
tive blow to the protective system
which has so splendidly indicated it.
Sell. w nat would the ultimate over
throw of the protective system mean
to Baltimore and to the state of Mary
land? What would it mean to the
vast industrial establishments found
throughout the state? What would it
mean to the vast capital invested in
them? What would it mean to the
large army of workingmen who are
now engaged at remunerative en-
ployment and who walked in idleness
during the last Democratic adminis-
tration?
THE overthrow of Republican poll
cies to-day must bring similar results
to those that followed their overthrow
in 1892. Strike down the protective
system to-day and we will eat the
bread of repentance Tomorrow"

Tibbles, nominee of the Peoples party
for Vice President, mailed his letter
of acceptance to-day to the Hon. S.

I'VE look forward with confidence to

Peoples party shall guide the rulers
of this nation. The adherents of the
Peoples party come from all classes,
wherever a man is found who loves
mankind and believes that govern

our platform will furnish a foundation
for the building up such a nation and
such a people"
