The test was witnessed by a board of officers appointed to superintend the trials, composed of Rear Ad- miral Kimberly, Capt. E. 0. Matthews and nine others. There were also present yester- day Secretary Tracy, Senators Edmunds, Dolph and Higgins, Rear Admiral Walker and Com- modore Folger, Capte. Taylor and Birnie of the army, Lieut. Nakamura, naval attache of the Japanese legation; Capt Langley, naval at- tache of the British legation; Capt. Manuel del Carre of the royal Spanish .«rtillory and repre- sentatives of the firms furnishing the plates. Three of the four kind: of plate which are to be tested were fired at. They were a high car- bon nickel steel plate made by the Bethelem Tron Company; low carbon nickel eteel manufactured by Carnegio, Phipps & Co., and alow carbon steel plate made by Bethelem Iron Compavy, treated with the Harvey pro- cess Five shots were fired at each plate, fo {rom the six-inch gun and one from the eight- inch gun. The mouth of the six-inch gun was fifty-seven and a balf feet from the plate. The mouth of the eight-inch gun was forty inches jess distant. RESULTS OF THE TESTS. The first shot at the high carbon nickel steel plete furnished by the Bethlehem Lron Company penetrated deeply, but rebounded without any injury to the projectile. The second projectile pierced the plate. About eight inches of the shell broke off. The third proketile penetrated thirteen inches and xe- ounded without suffering injury except to lose its band. trated 1014 inches and rebounded. About The that from the eight-inch gun — last projectile nd rebounded It produced pierced the pl several eracks, the mort serious one of which | was toward the top of the plate, Of the five projectiles fired at the plate furnished by ¢: ¢, Phipps & Co. four d the plate and remained embedded ether in the oak bucking or partly in the backing and partly in the metal. An- other penetrated 13'y inches and rebounded when the base of it broke up. ‘The projectile irom the eight-inch gun cracked the plate slightly trom the center half way down toward the left-band corner and badly the rest of the distance to the upper edge of the plate. ‘The first and second projectiles fired at the low carbon steel piate made by the Eethichem Iron Company and “Harveyed” penetrated probubly seven or eight inches; the third em- dded itself in the oak backing and the fourth buried itself in the oak and metal back- ing probably ten inches. _ ‘The projectile from the eight-inch gun penetrated the metal and enough of the thirty-six inches of ouk backing to cause splinters to appear at the other side. It also caused the piate to crack seriously in @ number of places, so that the damage to it Was much greater than that of any of the other plates. a THE QUESTION OF GOLD.

In the Court iu General Term this morning there was present a large array of counsel, in anticipation of the hearing of the motion in the Rock Creek Park condemnation case (United States agt.
