THE TERRIBLE IsHAM SHELL.
A Missile Which Will Sink the Great
est Battlcship in Three Minutes.
(New York American. }

The Isham shell, which will sink the
largest battleship in three minutes,
and is the most powerful ever made,
will be tested this morning on the
Sandy Hook proving grounds. The
shell is constructed of 900 pounds of
cast steel and carries a bursting charge
of 129 pounds of dynamite.
A 12-inch gun will be used for fir
ing the projectile. The gun will BE-
mounted on an improved carriage be-
hind a shield.
The experiment is being held at the
instance of the Board of Ordnance anu
Notifications. Inventor Isham will be
present to act as gunner.
A piece of Harveyized steel twelve
inches thick will be placed three hun
dred feet in front of the shell, at an
angle of forty-fve degrees to the line
of fire. The shell is backed up by Il
fortifcation of oak against a mound of
sand which has sufficient force of re-
sistance to permit the full power OF
the charge TO take effect.
The Isham shell has stored in it, ac-
cording to the estimate made by Mi.
Isham. sufficient energy to more than
raise 100000 tons one foot. Carrying
it's 129 pounds of hidden destruction,
the shell will be hurled against the
steel at velocity of about 1000 feet
a second.
Inventor Isham declares there is no
danger of the shell exploding while il
is being discharged. Although 1t is
made of nitro-glycerine and dyna,
mite, the explosives are so fitted into
the shell that explosion is impossible
until it comes into contact with some
hard object.

of the court room all morning waiting
with sad and wan faces for Magistrate

gates from the Conference.
(By the Associated Press.)

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 0.-lmme-
diately after the plenipotentiaries and
their secretaries gathered in the con-
ference room and exchanged compli-
mentary words partly in French and
partly i'm Japanese, Mr.. White produce
ed a diplomatic note addressed to the
Japanese plenipOtentiaries in connec>
ton with their failure to present their
credentials at yesterdays meeting.
What the contents Of this note are cam
not yet be learned, but there is a basis
for the belief that Mr. Witte in this
note took occasion to give expression
to the surprise which he undoubted-
ly felt that the Japanese plenipoten-
tiaries had after having at the prelim-
mary negotiations laid so much stress
upon the necessity of examining Gre
dentials before the first step was taken
should at the first meeting have fail
ed to bring with them full official let
ters.
The Russian note was made part OF
the permanent record without obJec-
ton on the part of the japanese.
Exchange of Credentials.
The official credentials were then ex-
changed. AS each side previously hal
an opportunity to examine them this
was largely matter of form. A
somewhat general discussion followed
in which Baron Komura and Mr.. White
spoke frankly of the purpose of the
meeting. The best of spirit was man.

Raron Rosen and Takahira participant
ing, French and English being used.
During the course of the exchange 1t
was agreed that Baron Komura should
immediately present the Japanese
terms and Mr. White promised to give
a reply at the earliest possible mo-
ment To avoid misunderstanding
it was arranged that the reply and
all formal communications should be
made in writing. This understand
ing having been reached just before
the session adjourned, Baron komura
handed the document 10 Mr.. Wltte,
who thrust it in his pocket without
opening it. While the Japanese went
to luncheon. Mr.. White with Mr. Roseh
repaired to their rooms, where they
examined the document on which SO
much depends.
Immediately after the Adjournment
of the meeting Mr.. White set his sec
retaries to work to put into cipher
the conditions of peace presented by
Baron Komura which were cabled to
st. Petersburg Mr.. White personally
put into ciper his own comment upon
the character of the conditions and
his views as to what action had been
taken. Among the Russian and Jap
anese delegates at the Wentworth
there is a great deal of discussion
about the acquiescence of Mr.. White
is the suggestion of Baron Komura
to exclude delegates from the confer
ence Baron Komura raised a specific
objection to the presence of Prof De
Martens. whom Mr.. White and Baron
Rosen desired to have in attendance
in an advisory capacity, offering to
agree to the presence of any of the
Japanese delegates. But the Japa-
nese declined saying they should not
ask for the presence of any of the del
egates Mr.. White did not press the
point but it may be raised again later

died four years ago, leaving to his
widow few thousand dollars. He
also left three children, Mary, Lille
and Robert. The son, after the death
of the father, began to stay out late
and associate with evil companions,
which resulted in his being arraigned
in a police court, on the complaint of
his sister who alleged that on Tues
day evening he gained an entrance to
the home of his mother, from which
he had been sent some time before,
and forcing open a drawer stole a
ring valued at 800.
When the robbery was discovered
suspicion was fastened OH the boy, as
footprints corresponding with his were
found on the paint of the window sill
The sisters went out looking for him,
and when he saw them he ran away.
The sisters chased him, and were aid
ed by policeman, who succeeded in
catching him. He admitted the rob-
berry. His sister Mary, made charge
of burglary against him in the Bed
ford Avenue police station, and later
he was arraigned in the Lee-ave court
Magistrate Furlong. seeing that the
boy had every appearance of refine
ment, thought it a pity for the young
man to be prosecuted on a charge of
burglary, on which, if proved, he
would send him to prison. He APP
pealed to the mother and sister of the
boy. but they refused to relent, saying
it was not the first time he had done
the same thing, and declaring him TO
be beyond reform. The boy was held
