Wire Ca nun n.
o , Pa. . April 15 The first pub
lic test of the Brown sec-mental wire wound
pun was made today in the presence of gov
ernment exjKirts , representatives of for
eign powers and a number of invited
guests from New York , Philadelphia and
other citie1. Three shots were fired and the
pun successf ullj withstood a pressure which
the experts declared w ouid blow any other
pun hi the world to atoms. The test today
broke all records and marked a decidiid'step
forward in pun manufacture , placing the
United States in tbe van in pun-making as
it already is in armor plate manufacture.
The lirst shot was fired with a charge of
twenty pounds of n special slow burninc
powder. The projectile wtiphed sixty pounds
After the shot the test puapes showed a
pressure of l i.'JOO pounds per square
inch. The pun was reloaded with
twenty-five pounds of powder The pressure
puapes this tune showed a pressure of 33.-
SK ( ) pounds The pun showed no sipns of in
jury. In the third and final test the charge
was thirty pounds ol powder , the projectUe
bixtv pounds. Ou examinatation of the
test paupes , which were set to show
a pressure between 4U,0ia ; and CiOKlO (
pounds , it was found that the pressure had
pone beyond the larger firure and exceeded
the neans at hand for measurement. The
actual compressiun was ICTiO inches. How
much pressure was required to do this
may l e inferred from the fact that a
pressure of 00,030 pounds produces a com
pression of oulj C 41 imdiefi The pressure
was declared to be something above TO.tXKi
pounds. As the standard army require
ments are only 87.1KK ) pounds it will be seen
that the wire pun ias far evci-eded til ex-
poctatkms. The pun has just been finished
as a samjile for the United States govern
ment.

Ahlxvai-dt will pontlrm the followers in the
belief that the house wants to throw aside
the accusations without hearing them. Many
members repret that rojie enough was ant
given Ahlwardt as soon as the Reichstag
resumed its sitting after tbe Easter recess
to ha-np himself. The intensity of public
excitement over the aSair was abundantly
evidenced when the house met en Tbiu-sdar.
when Ahlwardt , aec-ordinp to his promise ,
was to submit the proofs of ofilcnal corru ] > -
tion. The galleries were packed with eacer
listeners. Yesterday there was a repetition
of the scene , but as Ahlwardt could not ob
tain a sufficient number of votes" to carry a
motion for the appointment of a committee
to examine his doouments , they were doomed
to disappointment

Before the house resumed business tbe
Senioron. orpannaneat eoaimittes , advised
Hei-r von Levetzow to direct Ahlwarat to
lay his documents on the table without

reference to a committee. When the presi
dent entered Aalwardt handed him a copy
of the declaration he wanted to make in
produrfnc the papers. Ahlwardt was ad
vised rocaraing t/ue / decision of the senior
committee und he thereupon refused to pro
ceed. Whether or not he knew tnat tie
course he proposed to take was certain to
lead him to a collision with the rules of pro
cedure , the result is a teinparary advantace

Mlinttl-i. Bill.
Tlie bill of Dr. Miquol , Prussian finance
minister , altering the incident of direct tax
ation on real property , finally passed the
lower housc-of the Prussian Diet yesterday.
It is a completed measure and it is closely
linked with the Prussian electoral uniform
bill , both bainr the result of a compromise
effected by Dr. Miquel between the conserv
atives and the centerists.
Both chambers of the Lanatag are grati
fied with the proposals , which pave the
landlord interests advantages which were
not dreamed of under the Bismarckian
regime Mimr objections were put .aside in
order to pet the bill passed before the disso
lution of the Reichstac , brinpinp a grand
palitical crisis on issues which it is impassi
ble to foresee By the passape of the bills
Dr. Miquel definitely secures the friendship
of the conservatives and some centerists'
support at the sacrifice of his old national
liberal allies.
Worrying : About Rnlciaio *
Events in Belpium are piving the foreign
office here greater anxiety than the Servian
coup d'etat , though it is known to have been
hatched in Paris in tne Russian interest
An armed conflict over the ponular demand
for a revision of the Belgian constitution , re
sulting in revolution and the placiiip in
power of allies of France is so within the
bounds of probability that Trench papers
are already indulging in surmises as to what
Germany would do in the event of the mon
archy in Belpium being submerged.
Reports are credited in some French
organs that a compact between Em
peror William and King Leopold
arranged for the occupation of Belpium
when a day of revolution threatens to over
throw the king These reports are consid
ered here as nonsense. Wnatsver internal
convulsions may OBcur in Belgium , it is tbe
official opinion here that Germany will ub-
solutelj hold aloof , unless France connives
at assisting a revolution.
With regard ti > Servia , if the French pov-
eminent docs not inspire the coup d'etat it
will be conducted under its kuowledpe. Ten
days ape M de KiW-h. who is now Kinc
Alexander's prime minister , visited ei-King
Milan in Paris , and with him planned the
coup which the ooy kmp executed under in
structions from his father , Milan.
The ei-king telegraphed to M. de Kitcl
last nirht oonrratulations upon the successful
issue of the plan The event has importance
us a possible factor in early disturbances ot
the Bulgarian frontier which will involvt
tne attention of Germany and Austria.
Known tn tinKotslaiik. .
Some inkling of tbe coup appears to have
reached M. StambuloS , the Bulgarian primj
minister , before his recent audience witb
Emjiaror Francis Joseph at Viennu. Aooord'
lr.p to semi-official advices from the Austria :
capital , the emperor , -during this interview
promised to support Bulgaria , whih

spots on the horizon of Europe which cause
considerable anxiety to politicians Firstly.
the revolution made in Sarvia by the chil eking
king , with an energy far byond his ape ,
leads to the belief that he acted upon tht
advice , almost the -orders , of Russia. This
opinion is especially prevalent in Vienna
French , -diplomatists thini this is oxae-
rerated , which is also the opinion of the
Herald correspondent. Russia , which has
210 desire to create a conflict in the east at
present , did nothing to prevent the action of
the young king. She perhaps advia-d him.
but nothing more It is noticeable that for
some time past the freq jant falss news re
specting the Balkans always came from
London. England desires to fiircrt atten
tion from Egyptian affairs , -which are n
source of great trouble to bar.
The events latin ; ; plaoe ia Balpiam are
much more serious and ma t be the forerun
ner of a revolutio'n if tbe Chamber and the
government refuse to grant universal suf
frage , as demanded by the people. The
s ] > ticialassembly appointed , to revise the
constitution does not complete its task and
for two days serious trouble has occurred in
Brussels and in the mining provinces If
the oppasitiin of the government to the
popular voice continues a revolution is pas
sible , and if a revolution breaks out a gen
eral Euro ] man war will be inevitable.
1Kr AlraoKl Certain.
There exists , it appears , a treaty between
Germany and Belgium , by which Germany
has undertaken to A-establish order in Bel
cium , if the Belrians are unable to do it
themselves. This treaty was , saen by Caam-
batta fifteen years aero. Prussia would im
mediately occupy Liepe and the neighbaring
forireis. The reoison of this interreniion as
that tbe labor dUtricts of Rhenish Prussia

Prussian monarchy. But Francs -would
never permit the intervention of any Prus
sian army in Belpium If a cinxrle
Prussian soldier , outere3 Bc.'criaii , France
would immediately enter from her side. This
would be "war on tbe Franco-Belpian frontier
which is too open for Prance to allow any
attack upon Belriac neutrality. It would
be a question over which the Preach public
would lose their heads , and war would be
came necessary not only from a political , but
from a popular point of view.
French politicians do not think there is
any imminent danger of a crisis. The Bel
gian monarch and Parliament will end by
yieldinp This is to be hoped , bta the mon
archical principle has reoeived a severe blow
by the events of the last few days Balpiurn
is fatally destines to bsciDm ; a republic bs-
fore the end of the century. This is wU -

siderable interest They carry with them

Firifc Municipal Elrt-tl-jn.
The municipal election will take
place in Pjiris tomorrow. The elec
toral period has bsen calm. Pari
sians have shoxvn but little interest
in the choice of their representatives , yet
the local interests are considerable since the
detos of Paris amount to more than 2MO- (
0ia.KU : francs. The budpet exceeds three
hundred millions , and public works in course
of execution are estimated at H17.MO.KK ( )
francs. Not a tenth part of the electors
will take the trouble to vote for the eighty
councillors to be elected , althouph the fipht
has a political character since the platform
of the opposition is tbe reinstatement of the
Sisters of Charity in the hospitals.
The celebrated painter and portraitist ,
Chatran , leaves today for New York by the
Fouraine , where he will remain some time to
paint the portraits of members of society.

hundred and twenty pictures have been ac

They pive an artist the opportunity of be
coming familiar with each painter. The
first year the salon of the Champs de Mars

wrote it up. Since then it has ba n very

and do not bcdievt it will lastinaoh longer

CHICAGO , 111. April in. It was a l airty
Brtnp that rolled fred the antique windows
of the Austrian village at the World's fair
prouuds yesterday afternoon , causing
passers-by to IUU P uud listen to the deep
bass vojfcs that ecbwd amonp thf curious
array , and to enter and u gaze upon tbe fat
bui'pbei-s croapcd around tbe platform near
the rathnpers iiity ha.U ) The occasion
was the reichft-st a festival given in honor
of the formal dedication of the street in Old
Vienna winch was postponed from Tuesday
last , owin to tlw striire. The snene pre
sented was a curious one. With placid
trauquility , the he.uvy set Austrian com
missioners stood in the chillj air
listening to the smping uud
speeches , surrounded by ourpenters in their
caps and aprons , ouch holdinjr a tankard of
sparkling boer , whu-h was rejilenishcd as
often aj einiitiei The oold weather
fleterred a large number of guests from
attending , bn * did not. however , fiampen the
ardor of those who were present and who
in their enthusiasm stood with hats oC and
sang with a fervor that-convinced the visit
ors of their JP.V at the finishing of their
antique strrct.
The street contains thirty-five buildings ,
a city hall , a church } and covers a space S''O
by 200 fnet. Maiiv articles were displayoa
from the windows illustrating the typicn 1
industries of tue Viennese After healths
and toasts innumerable had been drunli ,
short add'-essus were made by Contractor
Prank Djorup , Architect Emil Bresbler und
Herr von Pohtche , si > ecial commissioner.
These were heartily applauded by those who
understood them , and after more of tht
flowing bowl the Austrian flag -was run uji
amid the "uoahs" of burcbers uud the street
in Old Vienna was ciodieated.

The s-ecent action of Commissioner Bi' > jnt

proundwork of a resolution oflerod by Mr.
Lndre. , directing the secretary of stau i < in

was lowered. In addition to this informa

fonued at the same time bywhose authority-
it was hoisted. The resolutions and acicnd-
mcnt went over wit bout action , objection to '

The president haviuc informed a commit
tee of the senate that lie would have no

time all obstacles to a final adjournment
were smoothed awaj. and after the doora
were reopened and souic little matters of
coiEUUtl.oc investigations adjuetod the sun-
ale adjourned sine die.
Mr. Platt , in his remarks in T.be Riach
case , recited the charges against the ICorth
Dakota senator and submitted { in reply tea
a suggestion by Mr Yoorbees ) that it was
.not a question of morals but .that it K-as a
question of criminality. The question is
whether the senate has the richt and newer
to make this inquiryH it has I conceive.
that its duty is plain. If a convicted
criminal who has ju'.t finished his time in a
penitentiary should be sent here by a state
will it be said that we are powerless to re
ject him or expel him ? I think no precedent
in the United States or England or any
other civilized country where the doctrina
has been upheld that the senate or the
liouse is held down \in judging of the quali
fications of its members ) to the rigid con-
Ktitutioaal requisites for election as senator
or member. Ou the contrary , although the
precedents are , in the nature of the case , of
a few , it has tieen always held that juris
diction is given to inquire an 1 investigate
under such circumstances Will it l > p con
tended that we snould be obliged to admit
a physical leper if a state should sendnhn
to the senate ?

received without acknowledging his disease ,
3 would expel him Could Aaron Burr come
here and say "I am ! W years of age , 1 have
been a citizen of the state of New York for
nine years , " and would the senate have been
; iowtrless to have made any other inquiry
into his qualifications' Would not the preat ,
notorious fact , even the hope that be had
escaped the clutches of the law , that he had
been engaged in a treasonable conspiracy
against tbe United States had been a fact
which the senate could have considereat
If Aaron Burr had presented himself here
with the credentials of a sovereign state I
think that the senate would have discovered
that it had power to inquire into some other
than tbe constitutional qualifications of a
mau seeldns a seat in this body. 1 don't
know that in the case of the senator : rom
North Dakota the inquiry would res n in
expulsion.
Speaking for myself , I desire to say ihut
no amount of sneering and insinuation by
senators on the other side of tbe chac-tur
will deter me from the performance of w hat
I conceive to be a plain duty in this matter.
If there be any senator on this sidi of tne
chamber airtiinst whom any other Mwor
can bring a charge of fmninal dishou.ir for
anyiliing which he tfid before he tiwume a
