AMERICAN GUNS THE I IK,ST.
New Yoiik, December 4.—Lieut.
Col. XV. Hope, V. C., of the
British army, arrived in New York last
evening and will sail this morning on the
Iiiman line steamer City of Chicago for
England. Lieut. Col. Hope has long
been recognized by army and naval officers
in this country as being one of the greatest
living authorities on ordnance matters of
the present day, and his opinion regarding
the progress of American gun establish
ments are of much importance. During
his three months’ tour of inspection in
this country lie has visited all the great
gun works and war material establish
ments of the United States.
"I consider the Bethlehem Gun plant,"’
lie said yesterday, “to be superior to any
gun plant in the world. Bethlehem is the
realization of my dream of wliat a perfect
gun establishment should be, and 1 believe
it to be the only perfect establishment of
j its kind ill the world. The guashops of
place are prodigious in size,
capabilities of the establish
ing ond the conception of any
I10 lias not visited it, and the excel-
nf the material turned out uuequaled
in point of thoroughness. This I say is
w:: in ut a shadow of exaggeration. 1
eon d i.nly look and wonder, and 1 return
to England tirmly convinced that in
AuV rica t-xi-ts the greatest gun and steel
producing plant in the world.
"As to the Washington Gun Foundry—
the Bethlehem and Washington are
praetica ly the same establishment—
my remarks corncerning Bethlehem
apply equally well. At this latter
place I for the first time in my life became
convinced that it was possible to construct
a perfect •built-up' gun. This is a result
1 have long contended was impossible to
attain. 1 now see that I was in error.
Mind you, 1 do not say that I believe that
the •built-up’ gun is t lie best gun that can
be devised, but I do say that the ’built-up’
gun of the United States navy, as
turned out at the Washington Gun
Foundry, is the most perfect gun in exis
tence. 1 will go further than this and say
that I believe, and know it to be a fact,
that the ‘built up' gun, as now used
in the United States navy. is
the best and most powerful gun
alioat or ashore anywhere in the world.
There is not a gun in Europe, there is
not a gun anywhere, that can begin to
compare with it, and the credit due to the
heads of the Ordnance Department of the
United States Navy for this result is ines
timable.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Washington, December 4 —[Special.]
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Republicans
in the Senate took up [he Force bill again
and proceeded on the course which they
have decided to adopt, despite the fact
that public sentiment is against them.
There was only one new feature in the
day’s talk about this bill, and it had refer
ence to the action of the Farmers’ Alli
ance at Ocala in declaring against it.
That action had some effect, but only in a
general way.
Mr. Pugh, of Alabama, occupied the
time of the debate in opposition to the
bill. The Senator is a large, square man
with wattles under his jowls and a back as
broad as a work bench. He read his
speech from manuscript in an impressive,
ornate way.
The House did some miscellaneous busi
ness during the morning hour.
BOSS TOMMIE IS HACKED.
The Speaker looked to be very placid
and humble. Finally the body went into
the committee of the whole to consider
the pension appropriation hill, and the
big man came tumbling down the steps of
the throne as if lie was glad of the oppor
tunity to go and hide in his private quar
ters. Reed is visibly hacked.
dessau’s mission.
Washington Dessau, of Macon,came here
yesterday to get ex-Kepreseutaiive Hail, of
Dodge county, and his fellow-prisoners
out of the clutches of the federal court at
Macon. Mr. Dessau filed a petition for
habeas corpus in the cases today before
the Supreme Court, and argued it at
length, lie was opposed by Attorney-
General Miller, who warmly advocated the
immediate trial of the prisoners on the
ground that the chief witness against
them was a paralytic and liable 10 sud-
d 'lily die at any moment. The court re
served its decision for to-day. E. P. S.
in the senate.
Washington, December 4.—The reso
lution offered yesterday ny Call, directing
the Superintendent of the. Labor Bureau
to examine and report as to the phosphate
industry of Florida, was taken up and
agreed to, after being amended so as to
make it apply to the wnole United States,
and lo direct the Commissioner to make
tile examination and report.
Alter a long discussion, the joint reso
lution to issue arms to tile States of North
and South Dakota, Wyoming and Ne-
oraska, lor possible Use against the In
dians, was passed, and then, at 2 o'clock,
the election bill was taken up and Pugh
addressed the Senate in opposition to it.
In the course oi his remarks Pugh said
that the country could not fail to under
stand the true character and nature of the
proposed legislation. It was never in
tended to be put iu operation in Republi
can districts. It was founded on one dis
tinct, substantive proposition, and that
was that in Stale elections the officers
might be watched, guarded and overruled
because they were Democrats, and be
cause, for that reason alone, it was unsafe
to trust them. Under its operation there
would not be a single district iu the
United States from which Demo
crats were elected to Congress
that would not be subject to super
vision by partisan Republicans, i'ne
whole election machinery of the United
States would become partisan and neces
sarily corrupt. The whole conception of
the bill was a transparent and audacious
scheme, having no other end or purpose
than the capture of Democratic districts,
and their transfer to the Republican party
in Congress to be used in perpetuating its
supremacy in defiance of the will ot the
people. lie decHred that the intelligent
white people of the South would prefer
the rule of army officers and white soldiers
to the intolerable rule of the infamous
horde that would be turned loose upon
them through the outrageous election
machinery provided in the bill. On his
responsibility as a man and as a Senator, he
expressed his convictions that there was
not a State iu the South which, as a rule,
hati not an honest and earnest desire to
have fair and free elections for members
of Congress and for Presidential electors,
aud that there were not so many excep
tions to the rule iu the Southern Slates
and districts. It the system ul local self-
government was not an established fail
ure, then it was manifest that
Chancellor 4 Pearce, I Chancellor 4 Pearce
question was ordered, yeas 113, naves 02.
and tin* bill was passed.
At the expiration of the morning hour,
the house went into committee of the
whole on the pension appropriation bill.
Morrow explained I lint the bill appro
priated for the payment of pensions the
sum of 8133,173,001). He believed that
there would be no deficiency next year,
bill on the contrary that there would
prove to be a slight excess over tin* ap
propriations. He said this because lie
anticipated !bai the gentlemen on the
other side would call attention to the fact
that there had been no pension differences
daring the past few years, and would
claim that it was the purpose of the Re
publicans to allow a deficiency to grow up
in 1892. lie believed the appropriation
to be amply sufficient.
Sayers, of Texas, argued that the esti
mates of the Commissioner of Pensions
were totally unreliable, and that
the amount of money required to
pay the pensions would be largely
in excess of the amount appropriated by
the pending bill, lie ventured to say that
tlie Fifty-Second Congress would be com
pel .ed to meet a deficiency of not less than
$15,000,000. No man, however honest,
could fix, within 810,000,000 the amount
actually to be expended under this bill.
The Commissioner had failed to tell the
House wliat would be expended in 1890.
He had made a similar failure iu ls91, and
he would make a greater failure in 1892,
aud a Dv moeratic Congress would
have to pay ihe penalty. His
conclusion was, after a care
ful investigation of the matter,
that instead of the Government’s expendi
tures lor pensions being confined to $133,-
090,000, they would be nearer 8175,000,-
000. In conclusion, he gave it as liis de
liberate judgment, fixing a full investiga
tion of the facts and figures, together with
the experience of the House as to the
workings of the pension office, that if the
commissioner would work faithfully and
energetically issuing certificates as fast as
they were prepared for issue, there would
inevitably be a deficiency during 1892 of
not less than 835,000,000, which a Demo
cratic House would have to meet.
Cooper of Indiana renewed his attack of
t’ne iast session upon Pension Commis-
siouer Raum. Referring to the large force
of employes in the, pension bureau, and to
the vast expenditure of money for pen
sions, he said lie proposed to show why
this large force of men should be presided
over by a man of high character, and why
this vast sum of money should bo disbursed
by a man above criticism and above re
proach. It was bis purpose to call the at
tention oi the country to the fact
that the present Commissioner of
Pensions was not sucit a person.
Carrying out this purpose, he
quoted liberally from the testimony given
before the special committee which, near
the close of the last session, had under in
vestigation his (Cooper’s) charges against
Raum of favoritism toward one prominent
pension claim agent, of borrowing money
from an attorney who practiced before the
pension bureau, and of floating the stock
of a fraudulent corporation among
the employes of that bureau. lie
commented sharply upon this
testimony and paid no attention to the ob
jections of Cannon and Sawyer, that no
report had been made to the House by the
investigating committee, and the testi
mony was not a proper subject of discus
sion in the absence of such a report. After
some discussion of the status of the in
vestigation above referred to, the commit
tee rose aud the House adjourned.

Na-
X'ai.a, Fla., December 4.—Tli
tional Alliance met at 10:30 o'clock a. 1
j The early part of the session was devoted
chiefly to a discussion of inside topics, aud
at 11:3*) o'clock A. Gallaher, a fraternal
delegate from the Workingmen’s Reform
League of New York city, and W. A.
Acarsey, of New York, from the American
Anti-Monopoly League, were invited to
address the convention. Each spoke for
half an hour or more, their remarks being
principally directed in favor of a closer
bond between all national organizations
of the same character, but
against consolidation. Both advised the
National Alliance to stand by its 8t. Louis
platform; to take the lead iu any national
political movement which might grow out
of it, and said that other organizations
would follow.
J. ii. Rice and John Davis, of Kansas,
in connection with one or two others in
sympathy with the recent political move
ment in that State, among them delegate
Vincent,are working an open call for a na
tional convention to form a new party,
the date being fixed at February
12, 1891, aud the place, Ciu-
Ciumiti. The call wiil invite dele
gates from the National Farmers’ Alliance
aud all other national organizations in
sympathy with it, or which endorses the
St. Louis platform as well as editors of the
“reform press’’ throughout tlie country to
take part in the convention. The new
party to be formed would doubtless work
on the same lines as the People's party in
Kansas, that is, renounce ail affiliation
with other political parties and place a
national ticket of its own in the field. This
call, when completed, will probably be
presented to the National Affi
ance for its endorsement although
some men in the movement arc not con
vinced tiiat this course will be wise or
politic.
John J. Holland, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
is here. When l’owdt-riy arrives, tins will
make four members of the National Execu
tive Board of the Supreme Council of the
Knights of Labor present in tlie city, being
all of that committee except one, Devlin,
of Michigan,and i bis fact, is thought to lie
fraught with deep significance. Apropos
of tlie third party movement, tin re is said
to be a sirong feeling among National Al-
liaticcuten here in favor of a genera! con
solidation of all national bodies. it is
operation and fraternity with other na
tional bodies, but not consideration.
The National Colored Alliance was an
nounced as D aily to tie received foi (rater

rived, and the reception was postponed

tives a communication from tlie Interior
Department requesting that an appropria

duced appropriation made for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1890. A draft of the

SHOOTING AFFRAY AT UNION SPRINGS.
Union Springs, Ala., December!.—
[Special.]—This afternoon about 5:30
o'clock some excitement was occasioned
by a succession of pistol shots. Sam Me-
the intelligent anff moral white people of j Lain, of Inverness, and J. D. Leslie met
the South aud the State governments i on the street and engaged in a quarrel

evil as far as possible. He undertook to
say that the black people of the South were
better treated than they would be iu the
North under like conditions, and he de
clared, in conclusion, that the wisest aud
safest course for both was to trust, to the
policy ot non-interference by the federal
government.
After the passage of two or three bills
on the calendar and a brief executive ses
sion, the Senate adjourned.

AFTERNOON SK.'Sin x.
Ocala, Fla., December 4. — At. tin*
forenoon session ot Lin* .National Farmers'
Alliance, Holden, Williams and Rice, of
Kansas, representing the Ciiiz**n.v Alli
ance of that State, were in trod need by
Col. L. F. Livingston, of Georgia Alliance.
All three made addresses W'uich, in the
main, followed the same line of thought
and argument. They said their
organization was deeply interested in the
success of the farmers' move
ment as was the Affiance
itself, that both bodies were practically
working on the same iine and the same
direction. They saw no reason why
merchants, traders, druggists, and
others, should not unite in
promoting this movement, anff they asked
for a committee on coni, fence to arrange
for closer relations between the Citizens'
Alliance and tlie National Alliance. The
request was granted and the committee
appointed.
Gallagher and Casey, from
the New York Workingmens'
Reform League and tin* Anti-Monopoly
League, respectively, addressed the con
vention, and, among other things, sain
that the mechanics and laborers m cities
were as much dependent upon the indus
trial condition of the coun
try as the farmers were, and
should be eligible to membership
in the Alliance. They recommended that
Alliance o:gauizers he sent lo New York
State at once to institute sub-Alliances in
all the cities of that State.
Col. Livingstone, of Georgia, said in re
ply that he did not regard it as fitting
or politic that ail classes of men
even if imbued with the same general
ideas, should belong to the same organiza
tion. They would do best to keep their
own separate organizations as at present,
but sbouid fraternize more closely anff
confer together more frequently upon
measures of public policy, i he Farmers'
Alliance, he said, deserved no particular
credit for having discovered that these j
reforms were necessary, nor tor tak- J
ing the lead iu the matter. I'he masses '
of not less than sixteen square miles nor
mote than thirty-six, an establishment
therein of two schools only, one tor col- I

school purposes from 8i to 83.
