t J... S; IV. it n I i It- i, TIMING A CANNON BALL.- How Tbis Work la Done at the Sandy i Book ProvlnK Grounds. Captain Heath has been burning a lot of ponder this summer in - the biggun at the United States proving ground at Sandy Hook, -says, the New York Sun, and to people : who don't know a big gun from a mortar thetnost interesting part of -these tests has been the ; method by "which theinitial velocity of the,projectiles has. been determined. The difficulty of such a calculation, is indicated by the fact that with our modern high power guns the shot is often ex-? pelled at an initial velocity of 2,000 feet pet second, which is at the rate of a mile in less than three seconds. Accurate knowledge of the -velocity of a projectile is of the greatest im portance tt the ordnance officer, who has to predict the range of the shot and its. penetration, and to., deter mine the accuracy and efficiency of sihe gun, of the , powder, and of the 1 projectile itself. . Captain Heath finds fault with powder! that gives an initiali .velocity of 1865 feet per second to the 1000 pound projectile of the new 12 inch rifle at Sandy Hook, when its veloc ity should be 1,975 feet per second.,! This is a difference of only 110 feet,; and the instrument that records it; must be capable of. measuring the time interval to within, the five thousandth part of a second. A difference of 200 or 300 feet m velocity means in the big guns an importand difference in -the powder used in the tests. At 'Sandy Hook : a delicate electrical appliance called the Boulanger chronograph measures this velocity; accurately, and records its own measurements... This is the way itjdoes it: . f In testing the large guns at these proving grounds two open frames ' are set up in front of of the gun ait a distance 150 feet from each ' other. Wires are stretched back and forth across 'these frames, making a screen through which the projectile must" pass. (The wires in each of these screens form a complete electric cir cuit, which includes also an electric battery and afl electric magnet. When fhe gun 'is fired the projectile the wire in the first screen, ihter-rupts-the circuit, and at' the same time the armature of the magnet is released. In a very small fraction of a second the projectile has cover-: ed the distance to the second screen and interrupting its circuit Releasing another, armature. '.The interval of time between the drop of these two armatures represents the time taken by the1 projectiles to travel brie hun dred and fifty feet. ; ' I This period is so short , .that it is hardly! conceivable. The chrono graph, ! however, registers it accu rately. (Wires run from each of these screens to the laboratory near them, where are placed the chronographs, batteries," switchboard and other ap paratus. The two electro-magnets in circuit with the screens are em bodied in the chronograph. The first magnet has an armature, an iron rod about three ieet long, which is sus pended in a vertical position from 'its core. When the wires of the first screen are'broken this, iron rod falls, When tjhe shot ruptures the wire i of the second screen the armature ! pf second"; electro-magnet, which ! ps placed iat a short distance below the hrst, is also released. j j If operates las a knife, and, strik ing theside of the falling rod, makes a slight mirk. The distance through which tlje rod drops while the shot is passing from one screen to jthe other indicated by the distance pf tne cur trom the ena oi the rod. From this the corresponding inter val of time is easily computed, jad this fottms the' unit for the calchja- tion c-the projectile s velocityin feet pea2cond. When it is neces sary to j tain very accurate records, several: chronographs may be used for testing the same shot. '. ut coarse the rate ot a projec tile s velocity diminishes rapidly during; its flight from the gun'and the calculations of its initialtvelocity must be confined to a short' portion ot it j path immediately after it leaves j the gun. Instantaneous photographs, are obtained of! the projectile as it strikes the target From these experiments in : velocity the ordnance officer is able to deter mine the relative strength of differ ent powders. , . - - A HORSE'S MEMORY.

Some Characteristic Episodes at a lie cent Balloting in Elmira. Elmira QaSelte. The women votedTfor school com missioners in JJistnct Mo. .1: last evening. A reporter stopped in and asked a few questions as to how the ladies managed it. The first lady the reporter questioned startled him with "the reply, "Oh, have we got to tell how we vote ? i, "Oh, no! certainly not. I wouldn't have you tell me for the world; it's against the taw, said the reporter. "Oh, well, then, I don t care who knows how I vote." and with that the lady unrolled -a small bundle of paper .and cautiously extracted a ticket which looked as though it had been folded up and pressed out with a hot fiatiron. ; i v "There it is, and she held up tri umphantly before the reporter's eyes a ticket with John R. Joslyp's name on it. v. . v ; 'Why dojyou vote for him?" asked the reporter. "Well, I don't know." "Perhaps it is because he is better looking than:Dr. Parke in your esti mation ?' - . "Nowrthat isn't it at all.'. "Then perhaps you admire his politics ?" . j "No, that isn t it either, j Mrs.- said she was going to vote for Mr, josiyn oecause his tamuy lived so near hers and I thought I would too." - . : The lady then carefully ; arranged her hat. took the ballot in hier hand as daintily as it sne, were picking a bonbon out of a box, and handed it "to the teller. JNext came a lady who was in a hurry and said she had to vote right away so she could hurry back home to supper, a iaay in a nurry is a dangerous thing to molest or6ppose, and all the men down in District -No. 1 seem to agree on that point. They all made Way for her. without saying a word and she handed in her ballot and got away so quickly ' that she was nearly home by the time the teller had shouted out : "Name, please ? I The next lady was ready with her name and gave it up simultaneously with her ballot. ''Number, please?. asked the teller. j "Oh, now, you are just like those horrid telephone girls; every time anyone rings the bell they shout out 'Number, please:' I have just got a good mind not to tell you. : "Then you can;t vote." l nat proved too strong an argu ment, and the lady : gave up her number. '., ' .. . :' -''V'; One thing that -rather nonplussed tne teuers was a woman tnat gave her name as so-and-so, ahdthe very next one gave tne same name and the same address. It was evident, however, the tellers didn't;want to get into any argument over it and they took the ballot and deposited it without asking any questions. : One thing noticeable was that the ladies all camera cliques, usually six or eight together, and they all lived neighbors. ; 'j The way one voted they all voted. The majority of the ladies held their ballots wide open. although once in a while one would be found folded up to the smallness of a postage stamp. The ladies alt seemed to enjoy voting; which was evidenced hvithe cfafetnertt nf nn wno said sne would like to stick, ra two or three ballots. , Hildegarde Hawthorne, grand daughter of Nathaniel and daughtefof Julian, has carried the gift of authorship into a intra generation ot nawthornes, says the Tribune.

CHILIANS DEFIANT. V A tURt REJOINDER TO THE DEMANDS r OF THE U. S- GOVERNMENT. '" Washington, ; , October 2?.-rThere was little or no excueinem in . uuium circles here this morning over the San tiago repress, cablegram ; announcing re-!- ceipt pf an Unsatisfactory re$ponse from the Tunta to representatives of the United, States, and saying that the Baltimore's crew were practically "boy-! cotted" at- Valparaiso. ; Naval o fncia 1 discredit the latter statement; . and be lieve its foundation lies in the prudent course adopted by Commodore Schley, respecting the granting of 'liberty to ni& sailors aurine tne oreseni conamon wi excitement. No word has been received at the Navy Department from' the Com modore reporting any new phase in the situation. - At the department oir state a cablesrram from Minister Egan was received this morning, but ' it has . not yet been translated. So officials are in ignorance ot its contents. f ; LATER. The cablegram was trans lated and laid before the President about . noon.i Secretaries ;BIame and Tracy were immediately summoned and there was a long conierence. , 6P . M. The following omciai. state ment of the contents of Minister Egan's dispatch was made public : ; "The State Department, receivea tnis morning a telegram from Minister Egan, dated Santiago, October 28, in which he gives the following as the reply of the Chilian Government to the . President's telegram of Oct. 23. asking reparation for the recent; muraer oi Amen can sailors in tne streets oi vai paraiso. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replies that tne government oi tne U nited states lormuiates aemanas ana advances threats that ' without being cast back with acrimony are not accept able. Nor could they be accepted in the nresent case or in anv other of like nature. He does not aouot tne sincer ity, rectitude or expertneSsof the inves tigation on board of the Baltimore, but will recognize only the urisdiction ana authority of his country to iudge and nunish the cuiltv in Chilian, territory, He savs the administration and judicial authorities Jiave been investigating the affair: the iudicial investigation -under Chilian law is secret and the time nas not yet arrived to make known the re sult : r when that time v does prrive. he fwill v communicate the. result, al though he does not recognize any other authority competent to iudge criminal cases than that established by the Chilian people. Until the time arrives to disclose the result of the in vestigation we cannot admit that dis orders in Valparaiso or the sitence of this department should appear as an ex oression of unfriendliness toward the government of the United States, which might feel in peril ot the inenaiy relations between the two countries. No reply has been made to this dis patch vet. What will be it nature is al together conjecture. The most plan Lsibie theory advanced is that the sug gestions courteously and diplomatically conveyed In acting Secretary Wharton's dispatch that this government had no doubt investigation would be made and reparation offered, will now be renewed in the shape ot a stern and tormal de mand for some assurance ot proper ac tion on tbe part of the lunta, and that if these be not-aprthcoming Minister Egan will take passage on the Baltimore for the United States, thus severing the diplomatic relations between the two countries. - , Washington, Oct. 30. Senor Pedro Moutt, official representative of - the Chilian Government in Washington, has just received the following dispatch from. the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs; Santiago, Chili, Oct. 30. Invest! gation instituted immediately and con tinues with all diligence and is not yet finished. . The trouble began in Clave street, "and it became a tumult at 7 p. m. Regular soldiers, police and the special guard of the Intendente restored order, Ut the combatants, . thirty Americans and eleven Chilians were committed be fore the judicial authorities. They fought with knives; stones and every thing they could lay their - hands upon. IThere ; was one killed and several,, wounded. It is estimated that there were one hundred and sixty American sailors from the Baltimore on shore at the time df the tumult." The Chilian friend of Senor Moutt sug? feests that the disparity between the number of arrests'? of Americans and Chilians was perhaps due to the readi ness with which th latter found conceal ment, whereas toe American sailors, wearing uniforms and being strangers. were readily apprehended.,. following the publication in the morn- ,ing papers of the text of Mr. Egan's cable gram from Santiago, there was great speculation among departmental omcials as to tbe next step to be taken in the matter. Calmer judgment was reflected in the general belief that a peaceful so rtition of the difficulties that have arisen betwee'n the Junta and the Government of the United States will be reached. It is .a matter of remark that in their reply to Minister fc-gan tbe junta omjially stated that two separate inquiries, i. e, by tbe administration and the judicial authorities, had been initiated by them into the matters of which be com plained. So, while there is reason to question the spirit' in which Egan's communication was received by the Junta, ""It appears that the first point aimed at by the United States Government, namely, prompt investigation, has been reached. As to the ' second point, reparation if the facts are as reported it can hardly be expected that they will be pressed in advance of the, conclusion of the official inquiry. - There is every reason to believe that in the treatment of the case the Govern ment, while preserving its dignity and the rights ot its citizens, will act with that degree of indulgence that is becom ing in the case of a great power looking for justice at the hands of a smaller, less wealthy and distracted nation. It is borne in mind that tne junta is a tem porary form lot Government; that in ternal affairs in Chili are still more or less disturbed, and that the mass of the Chilian people are still elated at their victory over Balm aceda's forces. - These considerations ima operate in shaping the Course of the United States, and it is probable that the incoming : adminis tration in Chili, which will take the place of the lunta in a short time, will be glad to manifest its desire for friend ly relations with the U nited States by speedy adjustment. the pending case; provided, it is not disposed of in the meantime. . -At the Navy Department to-day there were no signs ot disturbance. London. Oct. 30. According to the Pall Mall Gazette, there is "no doubt tnat much of the Chilian excitement la the United States is due to the elec tions. "Nobody," says the Gazette, "seriously believes that President Har rison will push matters to extremities. Neither the sympathies of Other coun tries nor the majority of Americans will be with him." . - : - v , The St. fames Gazette saysf "Whether President Harrison's rising indignation or" Blaine's electioneering calculations will result in war is doubtful." "The ChHians," the . St. fames Gazette con tinues, "are not now in a mood to sub mit to. bullying. If Americans have a grievance . for which . they - can legitimately . demand 'redress,' Chili has equal 'V reason to complain of the conduct of Egan. Possibly if the ex-Secretary .of tbe Land League was recalled the difficulty between the two republics would be much more easily arranged." - : v ... r The Globe is of the opinion that it is i : - : . . I incredible the United Stales should' go to war with Chili, however much it may" enjoy: the preliminary bluster. . It is even more incredible that - Chili should court irretrievable disaster. A .weak government will . always find plenty of reasons for yielding to a strong govern ment without loss of dignity. - . Santiago. Oe Chili, October. 31.- Though there are no new developments to-day in - the state of the diplomatic strain existing between''" tbe United States and Chili,, the political atmos phere shows no signs of- clearing. . The members of theuAmerican colony are ex pecting any- moment to hear that the United States Government has sent an ultimatum to the Junta. The only sligtft change in the situation lies in the fact that the Junta, through its organs and by its representatives, is now. claiming that the police of Valparaiso were in no way at fault in arresting the sailors of the-. Baltimore or in their subsequent treatment of them. -. - v ' - The possibility of serious trouble with the United States - has led the Chil ians into what may turn out to be a dan gerously delusive belief. They seem to be of the opinion that should Chili be come involved in hostilities with the United States an alliance with Great Britain could be formed, and are already gravely discussing possibilities and pro babilities of such an alliance. ' ; The . United States legation is again closely watched by the police in the man ner adopted some weeks ago, when the legation's right ot asylum was questioned No reason, so lar as can be learned, has been assigned for this renewed surveill ance. It is not unlikely tbe Govern ment takes this means of keeping fully advised, of all who enter or leave the legation. Possibly, also, it is intended, by keeping the legation under constaht observation, to make the right of asylum as difficult and trying as possible. This espionage is annoying -to, members of the United States legation as well as to the American colony at large. That the police ondutynear the American legation are unoer instruc tions to make arrests of persons leaving that place m certain contingencies ; is manifested from the. fact that two ladies who had been calling at Minister Egans, were placed under arrest last night as they came out into the street. The ladies were questioned by the officer in charge who appears, to have satisfied himself that this was not a case where his instructions justified him j in holding them prisoners so they were al lowed to proceed on their way without further molestation. Last night, also a carriage was driving pafet the legation, when tbe police made an attempt to stop it, " on what pretext, is not known. The driver, however, whipped up his horses and drove away before the police ,couId capture him or see who was in tne car riage. These incidents, though almost not h log in themselves under ordinary circumstances, are magnified by the condition ot public feeling here and by the status ot negotiations between the United States and Chili, bo it is not to be wondered that Americans feel un easy and apprehensive that something serious may happen. ..'.-" ' Santiago de Chili, October 8L Members of the Junta continue to ex. press the strongest feeling against the United States. A prominent meraoer oi the new Government, who holds a position in the Cabinet, in an interview to-day in re gard to the dispute between the two countries, spoke in the most unfriendly manner concerning America and Ameri cans. He was particularly severe -on Minister Eagan, whom he bluntly ac cused of trying to provoke war between the United States and Chili in order: to secure glory for himself. On tbe other hand, however, it is asserted by many persons conversant with particulars of the difficulty between the two countries, that Minister Eagan has done nothing whatever in the matter on his own responsibility, all his actions being guided by orders which have been sent to him from the State department at Washington. ' t ' Report of the Intendente of Val- praiso says that there were nearly 1.000 men engaged in the recent fight. It is known that only fifty of tbis number were Americans. The Intendente claims the police were blameless in the affair, but notwithstanding this asser tion there is the best of evidence to prove thev were the chief assailants of the American sailors.

KENTUCKY GENTLEMAN WHO TURNS OUT TO BE A FRAUD. - Some of the Best Citizens victimized by a Plausible Soamp Preparations for the Visit of the rifth Maryland Polltl- oal Matters Colonel Polk and . His Policy Another Bioycle Hace The Supreme Court,' Etc. , Special to the Morning Star. Raleigh, N. C, Oct 31. Some lit tle excitement was caused here yester day by an announcement in the Even ing Visitor, under sanction of Mr. W. C Strohacb. treasurer of the Soldiers' Home in this city. It seem s that seve rat days since a person calling himself Col. Beckton, and purporting to be from Kentucky, called upon Mr. Stronach and scraped an acquaintance. He stated, in substance, that he. was ,a man of high social standing and possessed of ample means. In his conversation he claimed to be on the staff of the Governor of Kentucky, and spoke in the most zeal ous manner of the efforts being made to put the Soldiers' home on a firmer fi nancial basis. He backed up his seem ing enthusiasm by proposing to Mr Stronach to donate the sum of $1,000 in aid of the home. Mr. Stronach from the man's addiess and general demeanor took it for granted that he was dealing with a gentleman and thanked him for his supposed generosity. In the state ment authorized by Mr. Stronach to be made yesterday afternoon, it now seems that Beckton is not only a most con temptible fraud, but most .probably an accomplished swindler. It appears that during the past few days, the fellow sue ceeded tn ingratiating himself into the confidence of some of our best citizens Iu one instance, it turns out, he went to the house of a gentlemen well known in social and political circles in North Carolina, on an invitation to tea. Here he was introduced to some urates, and proposed what is termed "a theatre par ty. This was accepted. Beckton then stated to the gentleman ot the house that he had left what ready funds he had in charge ot a mercantile friend, and re quested the loan of $10 to defray the ex penses ot the evening, , l be request was readily complied with, and Beckton in company with the ladies repaired to the. Opera House. On arrival at the entrance of the building he made some excuse to separate himself from the ladies, whom he left to await his return, since then tbe gentleman has failed to turn up. The above statement, in substance, is made on the authority of Mr, Stronach. VV ho Beckton really is, or trom what locality he hails, is not now know, but it is evident that he is an unprincipled scoundrel. For the protection of other communities his true character shoald hot be withheld. ' If there are any ex tenuating circumstances, they adve not, so far, come to light, " . IRREGULARITY OF TRAINS. ' It is undoubtedly true that the irregu larity of the trains on the N, C. railroad and its connections are to some' extent injurious to the Exposition. V;Th is is specially true as to the eastern bound train, which is frequently an hour or so behind time, causing a Disconnection, and consequent detention of passengers at Goldsboro. The disarrangement, too. to the mails is very annoying. . BARBECUE AT THE EXPOSITION. The committee having in charge the barbecue to be given at the Exposition grounds on November 11th, in honor of the Fifth Maryland-regiment, - have met With great success in the fnatter of con tributions, and funds necessary for a big affair have been secured. An effort will be made to have, at least, three or four companies of our State Guard present, so that the occasion may rank as & "mil itary love feast." The soldier element usually draws, especially when accom panied by substantials for the inner man, - DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS. The address of the committee, re cently appointed at a consultation of leading Democrats, is in due course of preparation, and wilL no doubt be ready tn a week or so. It will be cautiously worded and submitted for concurrence to all the conflicting elements within the Democratic organ ization. There will be no gap left for disgrunted disorganizers unless they be of that class who are not to be appeased except by the tender of political prefer ment. Your correspondent has every reason to believe, from interviews with leading . gentlemen, that the address will be such, in tone and sentiment, as to cause even the most persistent dema gogues to take back seats. ' COL. POLK IN THE CITY. ; Col. Polk is in the city to-day. - He seems to be an "enigma" the solution of which is hard to decipher. His Eliza beth City speech abounds with the usual non-committal doctrine of "ifs" and "ands." which puzzles the average politi cians. In fact. Polk and "Polk's me thods" seem to constitute the feature of "unrest" of which Gov. Jaryis so fluent ly spoke at the late consultation. BICYCLE RACE. -This morning another bicycle race is being arranged between Fitzsimrnons and Wynne for the championship of the State. It is insisted that the late trial was the result of mere accident, and that a fair turn deserves another show. 'It is understood that the" new race will be more of an individual affair, with a mutual understanding. . - w , SUPREME COURT. .'- The Supreme Cowrt-will enter on the cases from the Sixth District next Mon day. This is rapid progress, arid still further establishes" the wisdom of the increase of judges on the bench. It has certainly been a convenience alilq; to plaintiffs and defendants. . v - V THE EXPOSITION. . ' ' I The attendance at the Exposition grounds to-day has run up to about one thousand, at noon.
