A fifty-toner explodes PREMATURELY. American anil Foreign Naval Expert* Narrowly Eirapr Heath—The Final Test of a New Missile Deatrny* a •28,000 (title at Indian Head. (Ireat tionil W hat a NoUe. Wabhixotox, June 11.—Since last September the ordnance experts of the navv have been making tests of a gun cotton shell, the invention of a Chica go man. A dozen or more “blank'’ shells have been fired during the win ter, generally with great success, and the officers were confident that when the final test was made the shell would leave the gun safely and carry its heavy load of explosive fur down the river. Late yesterday afternoon the final test was to be made with a twelve-inch breeeh-loading rifle weighing 101,000 pounds. A large number of naval ex perts and officers were present. For some unexplainable reason the cart ridge exploded before leaving the gun, and the rifle and carriage were wrecked and the pieces thrown a mile down the Potomac. The armor cov ered “gun proof'' was wrecked, and those who had taken refuge in it nar rowly escaped with their lives. Colonel O'Neill, the chief of ord nance for the navy, and several United Btates naval officers and naval at taches from the various foreign lega tions had fortunately taken refuge on . a navy yard tug about u mile from shore. Lieutenant Anderson, who had Ik. ...... 1... wUw. triclty when the signal was given from the tug, had gone behind a big earth work, or "butt,” about 300 yards from the gun. He and the other spectators were unhurt, though a massive piece of the gun weighing many tons flew through the air and struck the water within a hundred feet of the tug. If the spectators had gone into the ‘‘bomb proof,” as they usually do when such tests are made, they would all have been killed, for a big piece of steel struck It and ripped through the twelve-inch armor as if It had been so much paper. A great hole was torn in the ground where the gun stood, and the buildings at the proving grounds were badly shaken. Not a particle of the massive gun or carriage remained. The virtue of this shell was that it was expected to carry safely a charge of gun cotton large enough to wreck u battleship or a fortress, for a distance of from six to ten miles, according to the powder charge, liy an ingenious arrangement in the point of the shell a vial of fulminate of mercury was to be shattered when the shell struck, and this mercury was expected to ex plode the gun cotton. Up to this time no successful shell of this kind has been invented, and if the shell had been successful it would have revolu tionized naval orduance and warfare. This was the largest charge of gun cotton ever fired or attempted to be fired from a powder gun. The government paid about 825.000 for the gun blown up, and it was built especially for these testa. A ehell shot from this gun was expected to perfor ate twenty-one inches of steel at a distance oI 1,500 yards, and to travel from six to ten miles before losing its momentum. MILLIONAIRES CIRLS. Senator Mills Become* Vitriolic In the Tariff DI*cq**1oii. Wasiuxotox, June 11.—The Repub lican members of the finance com mittee will withdraw the amendments for an additional tax on beer and for the duty of ten cents a pound on tea. x iic ijucawwu u» icvruuc i-< giving me committee considerable concern and if there should be a withdrawal of the increases on tobacco as well as those on beer and tea the bill would not meet the needs of the government us a revenue producer. For this reason It has been practically determined to make a bunk chick stamp tax. Tbe Senate had a period of tariff speeches yesterday, and as a result little progress was mude on the bill. Mr. Kuwliuh of Utah uud Mr Mills of Texas discussed the Democratic atti tude on the tariff from their respec tive standpoints Mr Milts se verely urraigned the bill us a class measure designed to build up a rust i fund for distribution among the benc ! fleiafie* of the bill and at tile expense I of the "forgotten uian. the taxpayer. ! lie indirectly criticised those Demo ' eratio senators who voted for the | amendments to the hill putting a tax on cottun and other articles. contend ing that their course was a radical de parture from the tenets of democracy.

The Latest Wonderful Invention of tbo “Lit hoplione," Nf.w York, June 11.—The Herald to day says: The process of photograph ing sound waves from the plates, reproducing the original sounds has been, it Is announced, successful ly carried out by the Rev. A. 61 Ferguson, a baptist minister, now liv ing in Brooklyn. The machine con sists of two discs, each about seven inches in diameter, revolved by ordin ary cranks. One of these, the re corder, is horizontal; the second, the reproducer, is revolved perpeDdicu lurly, Mr. Ferguson said: “About six years ago it struck me that it would tie possible to photograph nonnd by manipulating a ray of light nnd reproducing the sounds recorded by such manipulation upon u sensitized plate. The ‘Iightophone,’ as I call this instrument, 1 have secured by patent ltoth here and in England. “1 arn now working on a machine to not only record sound, but to repro duce it in typewriting, nnd I am con fident that 1 can do so. Many sci entific men. here and in Europe, have written to me about It. “The possibility of using this instru ment in laboratory work is very great for comparing wavfi sounds, inflec tions, modulations, crescendos and so on of the human voice. J am now constructing a dinphrughm that will record, perhaps, even a whisper. “There Is no electricity employed in the production or recording of tones in the Iightophone. The sounds are pro duced by vibration, or more properly, pulsation." A FRENCH DUEL, Members of the French Nobility Fight Over • l.ady'e Ilsnlerlng ItrinsrW. I’At.is, June 11.—All 1’aris is talking of a d*ei with swords fought yester day afternoon between two members of the old nobility. Count Robert I)e Montegijuoin and Henri He Regnier, at Netilly lo Vallols, growing out of a remark made by Mile Heredia, the ' sister-in-law of Register, a few days ago in the suion of the baroness Al phonse l)e Rothschild. Mile. Heredia, who was with her sister. Mine. Regier, A__A 41... _- 4 l_ I some cane carried by Count De Mon tesquoin, who stood near her, und re marked that it was just the sort of a cane that might have been used at the charity bazar fire to beat the ladies. The count, who overheard the re mark, interpreted it as an Insinuation of cowardly conduct on hia part to ward women at the fire. Immediately withdrawing from the salon, lie sent a challenge to M. De Kegnier, who was escorting his wife and sister-in-law, and at midnight hla seconds were ap pointed and preliminaries for the duel arranged. On consideration, the sec onds of De Rcgnler submitted to the count's seconds that the remark wu one of mere banter, upon which the count ought not to place so serious a construction, and urged that the mat ter be arbitrated. The Count De Mon usque thereupon twitted De Regnier with being afraid to meet him and branded him in the newspapers as a coward. This resulted in a challenge from De Regiuer, after three days spent in the discussion of conflicting state ments as to the precise words used by Mile. Heredia and Mine. De Regnier, who has echoed her sisUr's remarks. The Count de Montesquoin immediate ly accepted the challenge. The combatants fought each other with the greatest vigor and for ten minutes fought to kill. In the third encounter the Count De Montesquoin was severely wounded in the back of the right hand. The surgeons then interfered and refused to allow the combat to proceed. The affair has made a tremendous talk, and it may prove the first inci dent in a general boycott socially of a number of men who are persistently accused in certain quarters of having displayed the rankest cowardice at the charity bazar tire.

(iod Told Him to Do It. Rush, the Wayne county murderer, hus been on triul here since Tuesday morning, says u Pierce dispatch. The prosecution lias made u very poor case as far us trying to prove that the de fendant whs sane at the time of tiie crime. In fact, some of the state's wit nesses have helped to prove just the reverse. The county attorney of Wayne county, A. A. Welch, und the county attorney of Pierce county, M. if. beamy. are doing their best to convict. Their ia*st witness was Rev, Mr. Wright of Winside who held special meetings in the church about live miles from the place where Hush lived. Mr. Wright testified that he iirst noticed Hash In the church one night about two weeks before the tragedy occurred. Hash eamc in with his family, lie no ticed Hash acted rather strangely, as lie moved about in ills seat so many times. Rush and his wife came at dif ferent times during the two Weeks lie fore the tragedy occurred. One night Mrs. Rash professed conversion and came forward to tiie altar. About two nights afterwards Mr. Wright asked Rush if he was saved and lie replied that lie had "got religion like the devil." The night of the murder Rash came to church alone. After the services Were over Rev. Mr. Wright came down to the stove and was putting on his over shoes when Rash came along and picked up the minister's soapstone and started for the door. Mr. Wright asked him what he was going to do with his soap stone. Hash said in- had use for it. When Hush reached the door Wright again spoke to him about the soapstone and Hash said it was his now und that he was going to take it home. The next time he saw Hash was when he was in juil at Wayne. Rash told him that he was doing tiod's bidding in kill ing ids family, that one night prior to tli,. bllllnir li*. Iiildlcfl Itt) I) i tclLUl illlfl started for eliureh. but Gisd told him to go down in the field to it haystack and pray. Me did so and went to another stack and also prayed. Me saw two great sturs in the heavens and saw mul titudes of soldiers in cornstalks and became frightened and rode back to the barn and crawled from there on bis hands and knees to the house. Me went to the door arid then peeped into the window und then went into the house. Me said that after church he rode home, jumped out at. tlie gate and went to the house without trying to tie llw horses. Me knocked at the door and his wife opened it and lie walked in and said she must die. and as lie said it he lifted up that soapstone to strike her. She told him to wait a minute, and he, thinking she was going tocon fess, dropped the stone on the floor and broke it. Mis wife tried to get the pieces, but lie was the stronger and got them and floored her with a blow ami then pounded herskull all to pieces. The little boy jumped out of bed and exclaimed. “Oh. papa, what have you done?" Hash also killed him with the soapstone, as he also did the little girl and baby. Me insisted that God told him to do it. Yesterday morning the state rested. The defense called neighbors to prove that Kush was mentally deranged. A deposition from his mother in Missouri was reud in which she said that Rash's father killed himself at tlie age of fit), his brother died in an insane asylum and he also had an uncle and aunt that were insane. Rush's brothers mid sis ters all swore that he was insane. After noon Rash was called to the stand and told a rambling story, main ly corroborative of that told Rev. Mr. Wright by Rash in the jail at Wayne, the only exception being that he saw more stars on the night that he went to the haystacks to pray. They seemed to fall like hail. Me heard the sound of chariots also, lie said that his au thority to kill his family was taken from Revelations, second chapter and from tlie twentieth to the twenty-fifth verses. Me hated to do it, but God commanded him to do it and lie did it as quickly as lie could. Me said that if any of Ids neighlairs had touched him tie would have shot fire ut them out of it in mouth. Me saw golden arrows near him and asked the Lord for one. 'i hen they all vanished. When he was taken to jail tin- Lord told him to fast ten duys und then lie would be set free.

Bow Qosen Vlrlotlt'l JoIiIIm l( to lie Turned to Oood Account. On May 24th last at the Paxton Hotel In the city of Omaha, a goodly number of the representative citizens of Ne braska and Iowa, of liritish birth, met together and organized the Victoria Diamond Jubilee Association of those states, for the purpose of commemo rating the sixty years reign of Queen Victoria, as on the 20th day of June Her Majesty will have occupied the throne of Great Britain for tlist length of time. Inasmuch as the Queen lias expressed a wish that all moneys raised be devoted to the relief of those in sick ness and in distress, very liberal sub scriptions have been received from many noble minded individuals who have the welfare of their fellow beings at heart, and already some ten millions of dollurs have been raised in the Brit ish Isles alone. The officers anil mem ber* anil friends of the Victoria Dia mond Jubilee Association of Nebraska and Iowa have gone to work with a will, and it is hoped that u large sum may be secured by voluntary subscrip tion from the charitably inclined of all nationalities, and more especially those of liritish birth and descent, which shall be expended in the relief of those in need anil distress The names of the geutlemen connected with the As sociation are a sufficient guaranty that tlie movement will prove u successful one and that all moneys received will be accounted for. Tlic secretary is John I.aiigliluml. H07 Howard street, Omaha, Neb., who will answer all in quiries and give all desired informa tion anil he will be particularly pleased to bear from those who will take an interest in the objects of the Associa tion and will assist in muking it a suc cess. On the evening of June 21st a con cert and entertainment will be given at the Creighton Theatre in Omaha, and those in attendance win have tne pleasure of listening to some of the best musical and oratorical talent of the country, and on Tuesday afternoon, •June 22nd, a regulur old-fashioned liritish picnic will be held at Lake Munawa, the pleasant pleasure resort located four miles from Council iilulTs, where all sorts of games and other amusements will be provided for those in attendance. Nebraska Is Interested. The board of trans]M)rtation of the state of Missouri lias rendered a decis ion in a coal rate case brought by the Arthur Coal Mining Company of Pana ma, Mo,, against the Missouri Pacific Kaliroad company. This is the same case that has been tried before the Ne braska state board of transportation, the decision of which is still pending. In both tliisstute and Missouri the rail, road company denied the jurisdiction of the board to hear and determine the case, setting up tiie claim that it relat ed to interstate commerce. The de cision of the Missouri board is that it lias jurisdiction, and the order is made that the railroad company make the reduction asked for, in other words ship the mine run coal at mine run rates, A copy of the decision was re ceived at tiie office of the Nebraska board, and it is probable that a similar decision will be rendered in the near future, as tiie cause of the delay has been that the board was waiting for the Missouri board to take action. The Chicory Interest. Washington dispatch: Chicory in terests will he partially taken care of by the senate committee on finance. Senator Thurston has labored untir ingly witii tiie members of the com mittee to secure the concessions de sired by his constituents. The finance committee has decided that a tariff of 1 cent per pound will be placed on ohicory root (tried or roasted, but not £ lutiuu, nuu vi um vu luuuuiaviuiru preparation. This is substantially the Dingley bill. There will not be any new sugar schedule, according to one of the best informed senators interested in this branch of the tariff, lie said that there might be some modifications made in the paragraph ns reported by the senate committee, but if made they would be an additional hurt to the sugar trust.

Washixotom, June 12.—The long deferred debate on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill came on abruptly at 1 o'clock yesterday, after the Senate had disposed of the cereals in the agri cultural schedule. Senators and spec tators soon lapsed into a state of indifference as the speeches dealt with a labyrinth of technical details, of vital interest, though, to the sugar re (Iner and expert. Mr Jones of Arkansas opened the debate, to some extent answering Mr. Aldrich's statement on the sugar schedule. It was argument active and lacking in any severe denunciatory features. The Senator held that the rates proposed gave the refiners an excessive differential and pointed out how they had thrived on the one eighth differential of the present law. Mr. Vest severely criticised the Sugur trust and urgued that the rates were a further tribute to its vast re source*. Mr. < a fiery ol liouisiana also opposed the schedule as a whole.

Minnkatoms, Minn., June A‘l.—Judge Simpson, of the district bench, bunded down an opinion that while it was the duty of the governor to respond to tile grand jury's subpoena and to pro duce such papers as it required, ho could not be compelled to by the judi ciary part of the state government, which is only co-ordinate with and not superior to the executive. The gov ernor is exempt from judicial process while in discharge of his duties anil he alone is judge of when such process would interfere with such duties. He is amenable to the legislature alone, which may impeach him for violation of duty._ Iowa Talent Office Iteport. Patents have hecn allowed but not yet issued us follows: To I. T.
