VOICES OF THUNDER Satisfactory Test of the Big Thir- teen-Inch Gun. DISTINGUISHED THRONG OF SPECTATORS An Effective Display of Modern Navy Armament. THE TESTS SATISFACTORY aes The new thirteen-inch steel rifle was tested yesterday, as stated in The Star. Indian Head quaked with the crash of can- ren thunder. Volcanoes burst from caverns of steel, and river, nillside, vale and wood- land echoed with the tones of a tropic sttrm, and rang with the voice of war. The land was blasted with the music of de- struction. The test war a success. ‘The gun redeemed its pledges, and satisfied the wildest wishes and the fondest hopes of those who feel that ability to fight is a preservative of peace. Two shots were fired from the weapon in question; two from a ten-inch rifle, and a four-inch rifle gave an exhibition of how it can shoot with smokeless powder. The launch of the Dolphin, the Barbara | and the Bainbridge left the navy yard early | yesterday with officers and guests. The Dolphin and the Triton left later. The rying the ensign of the Secretary of the Navy at her fore truck. The Vice Presi- dent was also aboard. A quorum of Con- gressmen, a quota of Senators and a legion of private secretaries thronged the cabins and the decks of the dispatch boat. The crowd was full of good nature and nothing else. Everybody was eloquent in expres- sions of hope that the new gun would prove itself of the right metal. The weather was treated with enthusiastic denunciation. These were the themes most talked. The day had all the qualifications of an ortho- dox March day. The storm god put in its hardest licks and produced a day versatile with rain and sunbeams, blow and calm. Breech of the Big Gun. A hawser was thrown over the bow of the Doiphin by the ordnance tug Triton, and the two wound slowly out of the Eastern branch channel to the notes of the saiut- ing battery. The tie was cast off when the main channel was made, and the dispatch beat began to paddle her own canoe. The ferry Columbia came beam on, and from the arsenal light to the turning buoy it was bow and bow. Then the ferry began to fade into the rear. They Aired Their Knowledge. A vast deal of nautical ignorance was 9999906800601 | displayed by the guests. They spoke of a DR. CARLETON, hold as the basement; the poop as the rump; the deck as the floor; the ward room as the parlor, &c. The man who knows it all and takes you into his confidence was also there. Several interior Congressmen informed the reporter that the port side was on the right of the ship; that the cap- stan bar was a belaying pin; that the fore- gaff was the main boom, and that the fore- castle was on the quarter deck. Indian Head was reached and the pas- sengers were transferred to the pier by lighter. The great gun was at once sought out, and the crowd amused itself by peep- ing through the breech; monkeying with the breech machanism; wondering what the gas check meant, and putting the offi- cers through a torture of examination as to how far the thing would shoot, and how ich it had cost. The weapon rested on its carriage in a space which had been cut out of the hillside. Its mountings were sunk in the ground. Preparations were made for loading, when one of the water Dolphin was the flagship of the fleet, car- | Pipes in the hydradlic recoil apparatus burst. This required some time to repair, and arrangements were made for a test of some projectiles from a ten-inch gun in the interim. The Guests Under Cover. ‘The first of these projectiles was a John- son cast steel shell. It was fired point blank at a sheet of armor of Harveyized nickel steel, piaced at a distance of less than two hundred yards from the mouth of the gun. The spectators took their stand on the hill overlooking the scene of action. The ammunition car, flying its crimson flag, rotied down the track, the breech was swung open, the projectile hoisted in, and the sacks of brown prismatic powder lifted into place. The breech was closed and the firing In obedience to Sighting Through the Bore Sights. audience sought the shelter of bomb-proofs, | through fear that some fragments of shell or plates might work an accident. This was an entire novelty for most of those present, and it was a long time before the officers in charge persuaded them to retire to pojnts sufficiently protected from the ef- fects of the fire. The order was given and the explosion came. It was not a bang; it was a crash- ing, reverberating roar that made peals of thunder seem but whispers. The landscape was wrapped in sulphurous smoke. There Was a patter of fragments of metals on all sides for a second or two. Lorin A. Thurs- ton, the Hawalian minister, was in the cut in the road and a bit of metal about an a twig as it fell near him. The shot had been fired at a 12-inch Har- veyized steel plate. An impact of six inches was made, and the projectile was welded with the plate. Two fractures were made in the target. This shot was repeat- ed. A Carpenter armor-piercing shell of wrought steel from the same gun met with hardly a better fate, though it cracked the plate around the dent made by the former shot. The shell was broken into scrap iron, and the fractures made by the first shot were opened into broad, ragged, gaping seams, running all through the plate. ‘he initial velocity of these projectiles was 1,000 feet. Loading the Big Gun. At 145 the 18-inch gun had been made ready. An 1,100-pound projectile and 40% pounds of powder were inserted. The cast steel shot was hoisted up to the breech by | a ‘ackle and pulley and then rammed home by a hydraulic ramming apparatus which | extends itself in a most astonishing man- ner by a telescopic arrangement, and then folds up into convenient compass to rest at the breech of the gun. The massive breech pin was then swung into place and the warning given for the coming dis- charge. The spectators stood on their toes, opened their mouths, and many of them ‘plugged up their ears. Lieut. Mason said the word, the electric firing apparatus played its part, jand the awful, bellowing roar ensued. With | this charge of powder the velocity of the projectile Was 1,720 feet. A second charge Was fited with 482 pounds of powder, and a powder, d the velocity will mcrease with the weight of the charge. The Smokeless Powder. A 4-inch rifie charged with smokeless pow- der was let go. The report was very short and sharp, with a great brilliant flash, but only a faint, thin, bluish smoke, which neither obscured the gun nor the object aimed at. The shell whistled in its flight like a messenger of war, and splashed the river about four miles away, throwing up a seventy-foot column of water. The tests were satisfactory to the experts interested, and gave unique pleasure to the spectators. The party returned about 5 o'clock, and at the navy yard the Vice President's sa- lute greeted them.

Real Estate Forms, There was over an hour of talk in the Senate yesterday afternoon about the real estate forms bill, but nothing was done beyond the offering of another amend- | ment, looking to change the course in the | foreclosure of trust deeds and mortgages in the District. Mr. Allen occupied the floor of the Senate for upward of three- quarters of an hour pleading for a course that would be easier on the grantor of trust deeds. The Senate was about ready to vote on his proposition giving debtors a year in which to redeem their property when Mr. Harris suggested that for a cer- tain reason a yea and nay vote would be a serious embarrassment, and that he there- fore hoped the vote would be posiponed, so that there could be an executive session. The danger at which he hinted was under- stood to be that there was not a quorum of Senators present, and that this fact, being developed on 'a yea and nay vote, would preclude the possibility of an execu. tive session. Before he cauld get in his mo- tion that the doors be closed, however, Mr. Chandler offered an amendment in the fol- lowing terms: ‘‘All sales of land :*nder puw- ers of sale in deeds of trust and mortgages in the District of Columbia shall be made only by order of court upon foreclosure proceedings in equity.” oe Big Gold Payment on a Cruiser. : Moseley, Mary Louisa and Edith Judith The treasury today ordered the payment Pomeley, bs to others, sums aggregating | | of $559,000 in gold on account of work on | $900, and the residue to Eben Dodge Apple- | yes- | the government cruiser now building at San | ton of Portland, Me., who is named execu- Francisco.

He thought the backers were responsible for getting so many writers in jail, and now, he told counsel, he thought it about time for some of the backers to go there. He has not yet decided what course he | will pursue in the case and it is possible that the offer will be accepted. | A Diderent Cause. | In the case of Travis the facts are some- what different. He was in court some months ago and his piteous appeal for mercy because of sickness in his family kept him out of jail. At that time he nade a promise tu quit the business, Now his counsel wants to pay a fine of 3500 and is willing that he should go down for sixty days. It is a notorious fact that most of the persons now engaged as backers of the game have figured in court and most of them have made promises to quit the busi- ness. In making the offer to pay the fines and take the short term of imprisonment the lawyer said he Would guarantee that the defendants would quit’ the business for good, leave this jurisdiction and destroy their policy shops if necessary. Policy writers anxious to give information are numerous, and the large number of them gives the police an idea of the extent to which the business has been carried on. That there {s money in the business is not | denied, but it is said by some of the policy men that their profits have been greatly re- duced during recent years, because of the large amount of bribes they have been pay- ing at their shops in Virginfa. Some interesting developments are pron ised in regard to a local policy shop me tioned in yesterday's Star. This place is to) be broken up if possible and the names of | some of the persons connected in sonie way | with the business will create a surprise. —— Welcoming a Pastor.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I had hoped that the decision of the Court | of Appeals against the legality of the arbi- trary taxes levied by the District Commis- sioners for alley, sewer and sidewalk im- | provements would be gladly accepted by the authorities. It releases them from what must be a disagreeable duty, and puts an end toa cause of constantly recurring Irritation of property owners against the local govern- ment. Every unexpected assessment bill | demanded of a citizen makes one enemy more for the Commissioners. The compulsory system is wrong in prin- | ciple. Owners of property are the best judges of what will benefit them. If they | desire an improvement, they can ask for it; if they don’t, they ought not to be forced to pay for it for the benefit of the public. If | it Is to be made for the benefit of the pub- | lic, it should be paid for from the general fund. This was the theory on which the | cases were brought.
