His first letter enclosed a draft of a ram having two propellers and capable of running twenty-five knots an hour. After sub- mitting this plan the Inventor began adding pro- Pellers with a view of increasing the speed Of his craft, until im his last letter he proposed to build a Vessel with six propellers, capable of steaming thirty-five knots an hour. The plans have been Hiled, but, as they are wholiy at variance with all Preset tlotions of vessel-bullding, it $s not proba- le that they will ever be utilized: WHY THE EIGHT WOMEN WERE ALLOWED TO LAND. It was recently stated in THE Stak that eight Women Who arrived at Boston from Manchester, England, under contract to work in a cotton vel- Vet and velveteen factory at Providence, R. L,were allowed to land, notwithstanding thé contract jabor law. In explanation of it the Collector of ‘ustoms reports to the Secretary of the Treasury that “satisfactory evidence being furnished that this was a new industry in the United States, and that unsuccessful attempts had been made to find the needed help in the United States, the restric Uons upon the lauding of thege emigrants were Te moved with concurrence of the State Allen Com mission.” ‘THe FOREMANSUIP OF THE ORDNANCE FOUNDRY.— The article in last Friday's Star about the neg- lected Washington navy-yard, attributed the trou- ble, to some extent, “to the lack of a competent foreman.” It was hot intended, however, to re- flect upon ‘the efficiency of Mr. James B. Davis, foreman of the ordnance workshop, but to call ‘attention to the delay in inting a foreman for the ordnance foundry. Mr, Davis ig ee ee € position and prol has the besi TS, OL file Gr any of the twenty. applicants, ‘being backed by the ordnance bureau of the Navy Department. The foreman of the ordnance foundry will receive a larger salary, have more responsibility and have greater authority, than the foreman of the ord- nance Workshop, as it existed under the old regime, and a gun foundry cannot be established very Well until 8 foreman is appointed to manage it, Aprorsrgp.—The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed A.

The Pneumatic Dynamite Gun. SECRETARY WHITNEY WISHES 70 HAVE ITS DESTBUC- TIVE POWKES TESTED. With a view to demonstrate the value of the pneumatic dynamite gun, Secretary Whitney re~ cently addressed the following communication to Capt. J. C. Howell, president of the dynamite gun board: “Sir: The recentappropnation act covers a sum for experimental purposes in such terms that I can now propose a thing which Ihave long desired. ‘The dynamite gun seems to be a most ibe Weapon. I should like to see it destroy something a mile distant. Will you quietly arrange for & proper experiment that will illustrate satistac- torlly the efficiency or ineMclency of this gun, If its as destructive as tt ought to be, Judging from the tables where the destructive qualities of tor- pedoes are given, 1 can show it practically. It may fail in efficiency for some cause not apparent to the eye of reason, and in my experience an ac- tual practical test 1s about the best judge.” In a later coumuntcation touching the same matter the Secretary says: “1 intended that the dynamite gun should hive an opportunity of test- ins its eMficiency by blowing up some object at a distance. It 1s claimed that the present gun has a certain destructive power. I desire that this power inay de tested; not the ultimate extreme claim for the gun unless the company wish it. ‘The company should say what the present gun will certainly do. Will 1t destroy anything ? Ifo, under wnat conditions? Let it be tried on tnesé couditions, and Its ability tested to accomplish the ‘object claimed.” “Judge Durham’s Reformation Elixir” A CERTIFICATE AS TO ITS EFFICACY FROM A U. & COMMISSIONER. Judge Durham has been having considerable trouble in the settlement of the accounts of the U.S. commissionera. The accounts of the com- missioner at Montgomery, Ala, have received heroic treatment. ‘The following ts the close of a long co! dence between the commissioner and the Fine Controiler’s office on the subject: On April 16 Commissioner Barber, at Mont- gomery, wrote to Lion. J. Altheus Johnson, chief of the judiciary division of the First Controller's office, saying: “I have inferred from the many examinations of my office, and criticisms on my conduct as an officer, that I had been Ly selected as a suitabie subject upon which to test the efficacy of a new medicine called “Judge Dur- ham’s Reformation Elixir,” and if the remedy was effectual and I was permanently killed or cured, It ‘would be fed to others in broken doses, But learn- ing that every body else had been fed with the Saine spoon from the samme bottie, and in big doses, without regard to politics, tear'or tavor, 1 writs -aumoredly to inquireit you do > not tink that Fatn permanendiy cur ave Iy ‘and conscientiously tried to please the accounting officers, and it I have failed to do so in my more Tecent Account, it Is because did not know how 10 do it.” Mr. Johnson answered on April 19 as follows: “Your favor of the 16th Instant has been received. Tam not ready to pronounce the patient perma- nently cured, but I think he is convalescent. Milder Medicines may answer the pul now; but I shall continue to keep on hand a good supply of ‘Durham’s Reformation Elixir’ to be used in the case of a relapse.” ————re.__ Queen Kapiolani, of Hawail, SHE WILL PASS THROUGH THIS CITY ON HER WAY TO EUROPE AND CALL ON THE PRESIDENT AND MES.
