OLD SOTCB IS MISSING.

The King of the Wheat "Pit Disappears. Almost a Panic on the Board of Trade. He Has Been Losing Heavily of Late. Which Has Probably Affected His Mind. Recognized at EransTllle, Whence He Goes to Terre Haute. Chicago, April 29. B. P. Hutchinson, the multi-millionaire (Train speculator, known nearly the world over as "Old Hutch," is mysteriously missing. It is supposed that he ia demented and his business a financial wreck. Jlr. Hutchinson, whoso tall, aged, yet erect figure has for roars been one of the mot picturesque eights on the Chicago board of tra ie, left the city about midnight last night, taking with him a email eachel and a ticket to Peneacola, Fla, Jone of his friends or relatives appear to have known that he was going. The veteran operator, however, never was much of a man for confidants. How he occupied his last hours in Chicago has not been discovered except that he paid lengthy visits to two of his favorite drinking resort?, and at each place told the bar-tender in leaving not to expect to see him again. It has been a matter of common rumor on the board that business misfortunes bad unbalanced "Old IlutchV mind. His always eccentric conduct seemed increasingly erratic. For weeks at a time his abode day and night has been his little office adjoining: the exchang-. When eouie time ago it is said his pon?, in viw of their father'8 reported heavy looses following recent trades, began to consider the appointment of a conservator to take charge of his affairs, the old man was I furiously anjrry. More than ever he isolated himeli and on the board appeared to speculate for revenge rather than gain. The dislike which ho was said to entertain for certain members of the board seemed i to settle into pvsemntic hatred. No one but '"'Old Hutch" himself knew, or for that matter yet know?, the exact condition of his finances. It was practically certain, according to all indications, that he had lost of late heavily and steadily. This morning when the news of his Queer departure became noised about ! almost tne first question was "How much did he leave?" It was answered by the announcement of his relatives that the missing man's outstandinc trades of 3,000,000 buohels could bo settled up without lo?s to any one. Whether any portion of the speculator's fortune remained they d.d not say. ' The moment it was definitely known that Mr. Hutchinson had really disappeared the OTerators who had deals with him began railing his representatives for margins. Shortly afterward V, I. Hutchj in?on, the youngest sou of the missing speculator, formerly announced the fact that his father was mi..inz and that neither his family or business associates knew the old gentleman's whereabouts. This was coupled with the information that as a result the house could not put up any margin. For a time the announcement caused the wildest excitement on the floor, and the market sharply declined. It was stated that "Old Hutch" was insolvent and that bis liabilities would be $",000,0X) in execs of his assets. On the other hand W. I. Hutchinson while Faying "I think father's mind is unbalanced and thathe has wandered away," ad. led: "I do not be:ieve lie is insolvent. When we can find how his affairs stand I am confident everything will De paid ia full, dollar for dollar." According to the information tl at could Le gathered from all sources tonight the missing speculator is long on July and Bhort on May wheat in largq fjuantitie?. He is also "Ion g" on a large line of July and May corn. The trades, it ia said, are beirnr carried by IS.udwin fc Farnum, Elmendorf & Watle, (uorge G. I'arker, Rosebaum Bros, and Kusaell it Barrett, all of whom, it is claimed, will lose heavily should it prove that Mr. Hutchinson is insolvent. Almost every broker in Chicaco has an. individual theory to account for the disappearance. Not the leaet plausible is one that "Old Hutch," has "imply gone on his long-talired-cf vacation, and will pretend the greatest surprise and resentment when be hears that a sensation had been made o! hia going away. It is asserted that he has taken but one vacation before in twenty years. In an interview tonight H. P. Kussell of Iinwll& Barrett, said: "I estimate Mr. Hutchinson's losses during the past fourteen months at r ot less than $-00000. The largest amount lost bv him in one deal was $2f;0,000, when he' acted as the Chi cago broker for 8awyer & Wallace in their attempt to corner pork, fcince then his losses have been very heavy, although current reports are, in my opinion, grossly exasperated. We place his present obligations at 'i'iO.COO, and his available assets at $250,000, representing a total shortage of SlOo.OJO. 1 am informed that about four months asro he settled $100,X)0 on bin wife and youngest eon. and leavintr for his own use about $000,000, all of which I believe be ha since lost. Since July, 1.W0, there has been a radical change in Mr. Hutchinson's method of transacting business. Of late, iu a word, he has been risking large losses to gain possible email profits. In his departure from the city I think Mr. Hntchinnon knew what tie was doin that h was aware he could not settle in full, and was so mortified that be concluded to absent himself till a settlement could be made." Chicago, April 20. The R P. Hutchinson incident, so far as its effect on sales is concerned, has disappeared from the board of trade as suddenly as did that erratic individual himself. Before th opening of the board of trade this morning the official announcement was publicly made to the assembled operators that all of Mr. Hutchinson's open trades would be assumed by C. B. Congdon & Used in Millions of Home

Co. This prompt action on the part of Mr. Hutchinson's family and friends at once eliminated all speculation as to the aged trader's wanderings and his probable fate or future course as to his open deals, and put a decisive quietus u pon some little cliques of speculators who were) preparing to depress prices in wheat and corn at the opening, so that everything opened firm and rather steady. Frank Maginn, one of Mr. Hutchinson's confidential and most trusted brokers, said to an Associated Press reporter this morning that allowing for the -margins already up, Mr. Hutchinson's trades on the floor showed more profit than losses, in other words, that his open deals when settled would leave him a part of the margin already up. "The only thing necessary," added Mr. Maginn, Mis for somebody to look after his deals as they mature and close them up. They will take care of themselves." The members of Mr. Hutchinson's family have thu far received no word from him. His son Charles said this morning, however, that his father is in Florida and that he had traced him as far as Fensacola and that a detective had been sent to find and follow him to guard against accidents. Young Mr. Hutchinson added that his father, as the result of an examination of his affairs, was found to be thoroughly solvent Aside from his open trades, which have been transferred, he owes nothing to speak of and is well off. Evaxsville, May 1. Special. August Brentano. a manufacturer, met "Old Hutch," the great Chicago speculator, on the street this morning and from him learned that the old man had been here since Wednesday, stopping at a cheap hotel in the west end. The police were notified of "Hutch's" presence and halt an hour after he was arrested and carted to police headquarters where he was detained till his family in Chicago were communicated with. When arrested "Old Hutch" asked the cause, saying he was innocent of any wrong, but made no resistance. He was not locket up but held in Superintendent Newitt's private office. He was asked why he left Chicago. "Well, air, I left there because my son Charlie says I'm crazy and wants to put me in an insane asylum." "Why, he don't "want to do anything of that kind." "Well, you don't know, you see, and I do. I think I ought to know my own son. I born him thirty-eight years aeo, He has been setting me down as crazy for i couple of years." "Isn't it a fact that you have lost big money inortions recently?" "Well. I've lost about two million dollars in the last ten months, but I might have made that much if I could have secured a loan from my son." "Have you eeen any of the Chicago papers since you left?" ".No, and " I don't want to see any of them. I guessthey are full of stuff about me, but I don't want to see them and don't care what they say." "Old Hutch" spent" the afternoon in wandering about the city in charge of Detective Wilson. lie was a great attraction. His eon in Chicago telegraphed late in the afternoon not to detain hi father any longer, but advisad the latter not to return to Chicago yet. Hutchinson left this even i nc for Chicago and it is more than likely he will be met at Terre Haute by a Pinkerton detective. Tukke Haute, Ind., May 1. 15. P. Hutchinson, the well-known Chicago specu ator, arrived here late tonight from Fvansvilie and refused to go farther north, although he had a ticket to Chicago. He put up at a hotel here. VCN MOLTKE'S FUNERAL.

Th Ornt Field Marshal Hurled with Pomp and Ceremony, Br.nux, April 23. The funeral services over the remains of Field Marshal Count Von Moltke took place at 11 o'clock this morning in the ball-room of the general stafT building, in which building the veteran died and where his body hasbeen lying in state. Emperor William, the king of Saxony, the grand dukes of Baden, Saxe-Weimar and Herse, the principal members of the royal families of Germany, together with the leading German generals, were present. The services lasted forty-five minutes. The casket containing the great field marshal's remains was then carried with much ceremony to the hearse, which was drawn by six of the emperor's horses. After passing through streets lined with troops and packed with spectators, the remains arrived at the Lt lirte etation at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and were placed npon a railroad car draped in black which was there in waiting. Along the roate of the procession to the etation the hearse was preceded by Col. Gossler, carrying Count Von Moltke's field marshal's baton and by all the officers of the general staff carrying the insignia and orders conferred on Count Von Mo:tke during the course of his distinguished career. The casket was covered with large numbers of floral wreathes sent from all parts of Ciermany and from many parts of Europe. Emperor William, the members of the royal families of Germany and the German generals followed the hearse to the railroad station. During the ceremony in the general staff building the emperor was moved to tears. Prince Bismarck sent an immense wreath and the following teiegram : With profound sorrow received the telegram announcing th irreparable lots sustained by the fatherland. I feel the loss mors acutely, owinir to the fact thai it had been vouchsafed to ma to enjoy.for several decades Von Moltke's glorious co-operation and the Invariable amiability ha diiplayed in oar close friendly re lations. HIS EVIL GENIUS. Strang Story of ta Ottio Boj'a WanderInge. Cincivn-ati, May 1. About seven years ago William Wil iams, then twelve years old, deserted by his father and left homeless by the death of his mother, was sent to the Cincinnati house of refuge. Two years ago he escaped and set out as a tramp. lie was twice captured and as often escaped. Near Bioominpton, I1L, last August he fell In with Charles John son, a big, full grown, bad man, said to be from Kansas City. Johnson made A s ave of the lad by exciting hia fears. He made the boy work, watch and beg for him, but the lad refused to steal for bun. Twice he tried to run away from hia master, but was caught. A third time he succeeded and, returning to his aunt in western Cincinnati, got work in a large cooperage factory. Yesterday Johnson, his evil genius, met him and demanded him to return to service. A policeman arrested Johnson and today the tyrant was sent to the workhouse. 40 Years the Standard.

CI 11 A Day of Lawlessness in Europe. The French Strikers Grow Very Violent. Troops Called Into Action and Many People Hurt. Serious Riots fn Rome and Fiorence. All Quiet In Germany and Austria. Londox, May 1. Innumerable telegrams from all parts of the continent received up to midnight show that while there was a genet &1 ferment the workingmen nowhere showed a disposition of themselves to cause trouble or loss of the sympathy of the public by illegal manifestations. Neither have the predictions of a universal strike been fulfilled. On the contrary numbers of workmen took a holiday, even on the pain of dismissal, in order to join pro cessions and were mainly confined to miners, the natural leaders in the eighthour movement. Monday will see most of them resuming their vocations with but few lockouts. The anarchists eagerly seized the chance to air their doctrines with th added zest of possible scuttle with the authorities, and the outbreaks recorded were invariably due to their efforts and doubtless would have been more effectual but for the admirable police and military preparations. The fact that the first meeting of the labor commission was held on May day is merely a coincidence. The English workers are waiting for SunJar. The London carpenters and joiners commenced a strike tonight. Germany has been almost equally quiet. Meetings were sparsely attended. Those men who remained at work were given a day's pay from th general strike fund. In Austria and Hungary the day was taken up with merely holiday diversions. At Hekes the military was called upon to quell a socialist riot and several persons were wounded. The demonstration held on the Prater in Vienna was smaller than that oi im In Holland there was no eess&fton of work. In Brussels at 8 o'clock in the evening 10.CK 0 men marched in precession from the liurse through the town to the strains of the Marseil aice, with banners, transparence and devices asking free surTraee. The pavements were thronged with orderly on-lookers. Paris today was even freer for traffic than on last Mav day. The paraders appeared to take delight in goading the police to charge them. After the Place de la Concorde was cleared at 7 o'clock in the evening no further incident was reported. The rumor that Cunningham Graham was arrested is unfounded. The total number of arrests is 120. A number of very exciting scenes were witnesned in Lyons today. The first disturbance occurred when a big crowd of workmen, followed by large numbers of women and chwdren and bearing banners containing .various sentiments in reference to the rights claimed by the laboring people, attempted to hold a procession. The authorities had decided to prevent any marching, and ns the men retused to disperse when ordered, the police were directed to make an attack on the ranks of the paraders. The men made a desperate resistance and a general melee followed, in. which a policeman was seriously wounded. The noise of the conflict attracted a grea crowd and the workmen were soon reinforced by sympathizing companions. The authorities finding the police were unable to cope unaided with the increased force of the workmen, called upon the military for assistance, and a body of cavalry was dispatched to the place. The horsemen charged upon the excited and determined workmen, who assailed them with volleys of stones The workmen were unable to withstand the combined attack of the cavalry aud police and were finally compelled to retreat sullenly and with defiant shouts. A number of arrests were made, and several of the prisoners were found to be heavily armed. Subsequently the mob marched to the cemetery, headed by a number of men carrying black and red Hags. The visit .o the cemetery was made for the purpose of holding a demonstration over the craves of those who had lost their lives in former riots. The authorities were again compelled to appeal to the military for aid in dispersing the crowd. A force of cava rymen were hurried to the cemetery, and attain w ere their horses ridden down upon the people. The mob obstinately resisted the repeated charges made on them by the cavalry, and desperately disputed every inch of the ground. Showers of stones and other missiles were hurled at the soldiers, several of whom were seriously injured before they at last succeeded in clearing the burying ground of the mob. Upen being driven from the cemetery, the crowd agan formed in procession and marched back to the city, defiantly denouncing the authorities and singing La Garmagnole in a grand chorus. The rioters, nothing daunted by their two defeats, had no sooner reached the city than they made an attack upon their earlier antagonists, the police, and so savage was their apault that they overcame the officers and broke through the cordon which they had established. Again was it found necessary to call upon the cavalrymen to disperse the rioters, who, flushed with their victory over the police, were prepared to engage ia more riotous demonstrations, and again did the soldiers charge upon the shouting mob and thunder down upon their ranka. Aa in the previous conflicts with the military, the crowd was forced to beat a retreat. The fighting which was taking place between the rioters and the police and military has caused the greatest alarm among the people of this city and the excitement intensifies as each hour passes. The police are utterly powerless to control the howling mob, who.emboldenied by this fact.have become more defiant than ever and the authorities have been compelled to summon additional reinforcements of soldiers for the protection of the city. The rioters have cut the telephone and telegraph wires and are holding uproarious meetings at their working headquarters, where anarchistic speakers are wildly haranguing their hearing and inciting the already maddened men to commit further acts of violence. A dense crowd surrounds the Labor exchange, which building the soldiers have cleared of all persons at the point of the bayonet. The military are taking every precaution to subdue the mob and have brought a cannoil to the place for the purpose of intimidatingthem. . A mass-meeting of the workmen has been called for 0 o'clock this evening. The 'place selected for the gathering is the

principal square of the city. The authorities have determined to use every means id he present and provent any further outbreaks. The coirassers have again charged the crowd, t&veral persons were injured. Tho total caaua'ties of the day are ten soldiers and policemen injured. Sixty persons wert arrested. One-half of the workinjrmen at Fourmles attended to their duties today. The remainder abstained from work and were very noisy, marching about the streets singing, shouting, ete. A mob of 4,000 hooted at a body of gendarmes and the gendarmes drew their sabres and attempted disperse the crowd but were received with a shower of stones and were compelled to retreat. A mob attacked the Mairie this evening In an attempt to rescue imprisoned comrades and wounded three soldiers. The troops immediately opened fire and three men fell dead. The mob then fled. Latir There was a bloody collision between miners and the police in which seven persons were killed and twelve wounded. This evening a collision occurred at Marseilles between the police and a crowd of roughs who were trying to break the cordon end the military were called on for assistance. When they advanced they were received with a shower of stones and some were jnjured. Seventeen persons were arrested. A mob at Faris threatened thepo'ica station at Clichy, and a body of gendarmes sallied "forth to disperse the crowd. The men took refuge in a wine shop, which they barricaded. The police attempted to dislodge the.ra.and were met with a volley of revolver shot. Four policemen were wounded. The explosion which startled Faria today occurred in the house of Due d'Trevise, situated in the Rue lierry. There is no reason to believe that the explosion was the result of private revenge against the duke, and it is thought to have been merely a demonstration on the part of the anarchists. An investigation made soon after the occurrence showed that a big dynamite bomb had been used. The report of the explosion was heard almost throughout the entire city of Paris and was the cause of much alarm to the people. While M. Constans, minister of the interior, was driving from the chamber of deputies to his residence today, he was recognized by some persons of the street and soon his carriage was folio, ed by a lare crowd who hooted and jeered at him. The crowd finally became so threatening that the po ice were ob iged to rescue the minister from his tormentors. Everything in now quiet except that a few brawlers are occasionally heard singing on their way home. The socialist meetin e in the Salle Favre, of which so much was expected, was a small affair. Somo of the advertised speakers were absent, A rumor current last night that there had been a dynamite explosion in M. Ferry's house proved to be unfounded. The collision between the mob and the force of police and soldiers at Clienchey proved a veritable battle. All the anarchists in the nu-b had revolvers which were used freely on the police. The wounded policeniVn are expected to dieHerr LiVbknecht addressed a Focialist meeting at Berlin this evening. The attendance was much smaller than was expected.

A Serious Riot In Item and Many reepl Injured. ItoMi, May 1. A meeting of workingmen took place this afternoon at the church of an Gavonni. There were five members of the chamber of deputies present. An anarchist "speaker urged tho assembled men to attack the police. This speaker's words so excited his hearers that soon after the mob stoned the troops which were stationed in tho neighborhood, fcorne ot the rioters hurled e'ones at the troops from the windows of houses in the neighborhood. The gendarmes at this point tired upon the rioters and the cavalry immediately after charired upon those who had not been put to flight by the gendarmes' fire. At the same time the infantry soldiers near the scene of the riot were ordered to storm the house from which the stones were thrown. A terrible uproar followed. When matters had calmed down somewhat it was found that JKarzilai, a member of the chamber of deputies; ig. Cipriani, a socialist leader, and twenty-five others had been wounded during the riot. One man was killed outright by the gendarme' fire. In addition agenddarme was stabbed to death by rioters. During the cavalry charge several troopers were nnhorped and were trampled upon and kicked by tho other horses. Signor Cipriani has been arrested. The meeting numbered 5,000. The proceedings were quiet till the cavalry stationed in the saure were ordered to move, when a panic seized the meeting. Cipriani mounted the platform and shouted: "We must act, it we are not coward.". Then a shot was heard followed by a shower of atones on the soldiers' heads. The cavalry were ordered to charen and there were more shots and volleys of stones, but the rioters were dispersed. Later on ancther sharp conflict occurred between the soldiers and a mob in Victor Emmanuel square. Several persons wero injured and a trooper was killed. Altogether 100 persons were arrested today. Nine soldiers and five civilians were wounded. Minister Nicotera, replying to questions in the chamber of deputies, esid there were J00 anarchists among those present at the workmen's demonstation; that the public forces had been a'tacked with revolvers and stones and that phots had been fired from the windows of Signor Ciprian's residence, and that therefore the demonstration had been suppressed. From the latest reports received from the various citiesit is learned that May day was generally observed in a tranquil manner throughout Italy. In the places vhere work was suspended the working Eeople as a rale occupied their time in oliday making. Abundant evidence ia appearinz that there w& a carefully organized anarchistic plot here. The chamber of deputies presented a stormy scene, radical members trying to blame the government for the disturbances, while Minister- Nicolera stoutly defended the ministry and set forth the patience and self-control of the soldiers under showers of stones, after being on duty many hours. It Is reported that Signer Ciprianni's wound is mortal. The Labor Contmlaalon. London, May 1. The first meeting of the Royal labor commission,: - appointed to Inquire into the relations existing between capital and labor and into the causes of strikes and the best means to be taken in order to avoid them, took place most appropriately today. What transpired at this meeting is not known, as the meeting was held in private. is judged, however, the commission simply talked over the plans for its future meetings and arranged other details of ita permanent organization. . .

DR. GATLINQ AND HIS TERRIQLE GUN. Kow at Work on Oaa Whlrh Will Tbron Projectile Weighing a Ton Fonrteen Mllra Ilia Vlowi on PrJot:lea and Matbods f Man Killing. "Who is that venerable looking gentleman across the street? I mean the middle sized trim-built man with rosy cheeks, close cropped white beard and snowy locks just stepping from the Eidewalk to the crossing. What a ppringy walk he has! Looks like a banker who is deacon in my church and carries around the contribution basket on Sunday mornings." remarked a gentleman on Washingtonst. yesterday afternoon. The subject of the inquiry was Dr. Richard J. Gatling, now of Hartford, Conn., but formerly of Indianapolis, the inventor of the most murderous death dealing engine of modern times, the Gatling gun, that fires 12,003 shots a minute and destroys multitudes by machinery. About forty years ago he invented a drill for sowing wheat, but laterly has been directing his attention to the most scientific manner oi drihinz human beings. Later on Dr. Galling was asked about the reduction in calibre of ammunition. "The board of ordnance of the U. S. army of which Gen Flagler is chief, vice Gen. liench, retired," said Dr. Gatling. "has adopted the 30-10J calibre ammunition. The bullet conei-ts of a copper jacket shorter than tho bullet, the channelurea and the filling of the jacket are lea 1. Th board has, however, not fully decided upon the style of the magazine-gun to be adopted, although a bolt action with a spreading flange that fits into the firing chamber and takes the strain off the boit is looked upon favorably. Smokeless powder will be used and the point blank range is about three hundred yards. The initial velocity of the bullet will be about twenty-one hundred feet a second, as airain&t 1,75 with the 45-100 ca ibre. in use now. Tho penetration is about forty inches of pine, as compared to fifteen inches by the present bullet. Tho gun will throw a bullet through two men standing in front and rear rank at 2,0)0 yards. The flattened trajectory increases the dangerous epaeo enormously, as the ricochet of the bullet will be correspondingly flattened. My new gun will ot course shoot this ammunition and it can now be trained in any direction, bullets can be fired up in tho air and dropped down lehind fortifications and into rifle pits. In a late experiment, at an ang e of sixty-six decrees' elevation, it was fiity-eight seconds before the firbt bullet came down. The bullets had a pchetration of over two inchc in pine, so you can see they woula kill a man." Here the doctor's face fairly beamed with smiles. Of rapid-firing guns Dr. Gatling said: '"There are two first class single barrel guns made in Hartford. One is the tirics-Schrtcder and the otlier is the Iiotchkiss. Of course my euu ia a machine gun, but it and the IioVhkiss worked beautifully during the late Indian war. Theise guns "are well adapted for torpedo boat defense. I am working on a gun of that kind and think it v A. be th best of the kind, when finisln d, in the market. If you could fire I.OoO shots a minute out of a six-pound rilled cannon and could increase the size indefinitely you would have an ideal gun for topedb boat defense." "In thi gun do you apply your machine principle or not?" "That is my tecret. There has been no appropriation made for guns of that kind. I think I thall sell it to somo foreign government as they aro willing to pay lor a good thing when they see it. "Lieut. Graydon has at length arrived at the proper medium for the propulsion of dynamite. For a long tune he used powder, but this is not safe, because it operates so suddenly ns to cause danger of the premature explosion of the shell. You know Graydon is a native of Indiana, graduated at the naval academy, entered the nnvy, invented his gun, resigned from the navy and went to England where ho was offered a commission in the army, but refused it because ho could not take the oath of allegiance. I always likt d him for that. Both his gun and the Zalinski are very effective at a distance of one mile, hut lieyond that they cannot be depended upon. 3'he Xalinski tfun cannot bo trailed or elevated sulnciently. "What result has followed the experiments with the Brown rpiral wire wound cannon?" was asked. The only result thatcould bo expected, after a few discharges it burst aud every time it is tried it bursts. They used to build guns on that principle 300 years Ago and when they were loaded he'avily they always burst. The core heats and expands thereby stretching the wire and the next discharge of the gun ruptures it. It is not the proper way to build a gun. "What we need in this country fa hih power, lon-range guns that will throw a projectile twelvo or fourteen miles. Tho people need them for coast defense. There ia not a gun now in any of the batteries on the toast that would be effective against a modern iron-clad. The people in our broad land do not want to be at the mercy of any little principality or kingdom. At the present time there is nothing to prevent any of them from laying along our shores and levying tr.bute on our coast cities. Von Moltke never said a truer thing than, 'the way to prevent a war i9 to be prepared for it.' Human nature U just like it always was. 1 know two neighbors who had lived in peace for thirty years along side of each other; belonged to the same church. Yet one day when a pig got through the fence, they quarreled, and one got his fcun and ehot the other. Civilization is only skin deep, and nobody knows wiien a fight will be thrust upoh them. It is usually when you least expect it, and they don't give you any notice." "You have invented a new high power gun, have vou not?" asked the reporter. "Who told vou about that?" quickly responded the doctor. Then after considerab e sparring, the doctor slowly said : "Weil there is a very dear friend of mine in Hartford that has invented a pun of that kind. The late experiments aboard the English ironclad Victoria demonstrated conclusively that the built-up system of making large ordnance was eminently wrong. The core of . the gun is cast and then steel bands are shrunk on. 'o mechanic in the world can shrink them on the core so that the tension will be equal. Some are bound to be tighter than others. When the gun is discharged several times the core heats and expands, growing larger and also longer. The impulse of the shot, tho friction through the groovers and the recoil also stretch the core. The next discharge either breaks a band, splits the core or racks the gun so it is useless. Now in my gun we cast it all at once, the whole gun on the old stub and twist system. I use the steel with the nickel alloy and run enough in a receiver, that is kept hot by gas, to cast the whole gun. I have a Russia sheet-iron envelope that melts at a higher degree of heat than steel, the exact shape of the gun without the trunnions. This is placed upright over a pit. Through the center runs . a pipe. The metal is forced obliquely into its place, Pitcher's Caotorla.
