t - ORIENTAL ,UNER EVA IS SAFE
"JTen Sailing Ships, Carrying; a Mil-
w ;
lion Busael of "Wheat, Left the
Columbia Since Sunday.
The British, ship Astracana sailed from
San Diego for Portland yesterday, and
with favoring: grinds up the coast should
be at hand before the end of the month.
The vessel Is reported to be badly dam
aged, as. a result of her rough trip around
the Horn, and she will need some exten
sive repairs before shp -will be ready
for outward cargo. The Astracana br ngs
part cargo to this port. Another ship
with a full cargo, the Langdale, is also
due from Liverpool, and there are about
a dozen ballast ships due within the
next ten days. The French bark Alice
Is out five months from Havre, and the
French bark Boesuet, ov.er five months
from Nantes. The- British. ship Cromarty
shire, one of the fastest ships afloat, is
out IS days from Fort Los Angeles, and
is dally expected. The Dutch, bark Pax
Is due from Yokohama, and the British
ship Morven from Acapulco. The Peter
Rickmers is out about a month from
Hong Kong, but as vessels seldom come
across from that port in less than- 45 to
CO days, she will hardly be expected be
fore next month.
Shipping men. In this city are somewhat
mystified over the action of the San
Francisco reinsurance gamblers in quot
ing 25 per cent reinsurance on the Car
manian, which is only about 70 days out
from Hong Kong for the Bay City. The
passage from Hong Kong to San Fran
cisco Is about the same as Trom Hong
Kong to Portland, and the vessel would
hardly be regarded as even slightly over
due if she was bound for this port.
TBJT FAST SAILERS.
Bier Fleet for Europe Gets
Avray
on Even Terms.
The German ships Philadelphia and
JTomla crossed out from Astoria yester
day morning, the former for Bast Lon
don. South Africa, and the Nomla for
Burope. The departure of these two
vessels makes up a fleet of ten big ships
carrying over a million bushels of grain,
which have crossed out of the Columbia
since Sunday morning. All of the, vessels,
except the Philadelphia, are bound for the
United Kingdom, and there is consider
able rivalry among the masters as to
which will make the fastest passage. It
is very seldom that so many -ships leave
the Columbia so close together, and by
getting away in a bunch, they are quite
sure of encountering the same kind of
weather. The Amiral Courbet, which left
down yesterday, -will reach Astoria today,
and the HWowood will leavo up. Th's
will leave tout one ship in the lower har
bor, but reinforcements are close at hand.
THE EVA SAFE.
Oregon and Oriental Liner "Sot Lost
Arrives at Vladlvostoclc
The report received from Hong Kong last
week, stating that the, German steamship
Eva had been lost at sea, proves to hae
been, unfounded. A dispatch was reccUed
from "Vladlvostock yesterday, announcing
her arrival at the Siberian port. Just
where the other report of her loss origi
nated Is uncertain. The news was re
ceived by President Wilcox of the Port
land Flouring Mills Company, in a cable,
from Hong Kong and similar ad
vioes were -received from "London by the
Maritime Exchange of New Tork, and
the Merchants' Exchanges of San FranJ
Cisco and Portland. The report of her
loss was generally discredited a few days
after it .was circulated, as nothing con
firmatory could 'be secured after the
first dispatches. Her return from tho
depths will bo highly pleasing to tho
newly-organized Oregon & Oriental Steam
ship Company, as she Is an excellent
steamer for this route and will be needed.

PROJECTILES FOR ARMY.
The Effectiveness of Armor-Piercinar
Shells Increased.
WASHLNOTON, Nov. 1. Along with
armor, tho question of projectiles
is one of the important subjects
under Investigation by this bureau. Tho
following observations on the foreign
manufacture of projectiles are noted:
"With each radical change in the method
of manufacture of armor-plate "by which,
by various face-hardening and toughening
processes, Its resisting power has been
greatly increased, we find an effort mado
to produce a projectile that will attack it
successfully. These efforts have not been
wholly unsuccessful. In distributing tho
credit, however, for tho most recent per
formances of projectiles against face
hardened armor, the great increase in the
energy developed by the latest type of
the modern xifle must not be forgotten,
and, if practicable, the proper share of
the work done, by the gun should be as
signed to., li,. "Leaving the gun out of
the question; ths effectiveness of armor
piercing shell hf been'greatly increased
by tho so-calledAcap, which Is secured
to the ogive to protect it upon impact
with the hard surface of the plate. Ex
periments have proven that with capped
projectiles, the velocity remaining the
same, and with the Impact normal to
the plate, an Increased"- thickness ct from
15 to 20 per cent of metal may 'be per
forated. Various reasons have been given
for this, the most acceptable being that
the initial shock is given the plate by the
soft cap, which, while it protects the hard
point of tho projectile, weakens the hard
surface of the plate and prepares it in
a measure for the entrance of the pro
jectile proper. Caps seem to be gaining
more and more in favor, and are now used
in the navies of Russia and France, as
well as our own. There is an objection to
capped projectiles which. It mny be well
to mention. In case the cap should become
detached from the projectile while the lat
ter Is still in the bore there Is great dan
ger of the gun bursting. Effective means
can of course be used to secure the cap
firmly, but when the manufacture is car
ried out on a large scale It is difficult to
obtain full guaranty In this respect,
"Tho cap of the French naval shell la
put on In a heated state. It extends
down over three-fifths of the ogive.
"The type of projectile which was for
merly in common use, the cast-Iron shell,
has, owing to the general Introduction of
secondary armor, lost much of its impor
tance. A steel shell has taken Its place.
This is called a seml-armor-pierclng shell;
it has a solid point and a percussion base
fuse. This projectile, owing to Its com
paratively strong construction, possesses
a power of penetration estimated at three
fourths of, the armor-piercing shelL Its
effectiveness is Increased by the large
bursting charge. The absence, of a burst
ing charge for the armor-piercing shell
makes the latter a special projectile.
"Every effort is being made to construct
a type of shell that will burst after pen
etrating modern armor of comparatively
great thickness. This Is the ideal missile.
"In Franco attempts have been made to
Increase the effect of a bursting shell
against armor by providing tho ogive of
the former with an Ingeniously construct
ed cap. This consists of two ports, one
of soft steel, which is screwed to the
ogive and has a screw-threaded hole into
which the fuse is screwed, and a point of
hard chrome steel, which Is screwed to
the outside of the soft cap. Whether or
not this cap accomplishes the desired ef
fect does not seem to be generally known.
"The destructive effect of a bursting
shell depends on tho power of the explo
sive it contains.
"The high explosives now employed are
usually of picric-acid preparation, or of
wet gun-cotton. To the former type be
long tho English lyddite, the French me
linite and kreslite, and the Austrian
ekraslte. In Germany and Italy a wet
gun cotton is used. That melinite Is re
garded by the French as sensitive and
dangerous Is evidenced by the minute reg
ulations which have been issued for its
care and handling. Lyddite, used in the
English high-explosive shell, Is claimed
(by the English) to be safer and more
powerful than melinite. It Is simply pic
ric add brought Into a dense state of fu
sion. The shells are coated inside with a
special varnish and the melted acid poured
into them. This requires a strong de
tonator or, in other words, a powerful
primer. It is said the English have adopt
ed a primer of picric powder, which con
sists of two ports of ammonium picrate
to three parts of saltpeter, mixed in
much the same way as ordinary granu
lated gunpowder. The composition Is Ig
nited by the usual service fuse. Lyddite
was first used In actual warfare at the
battle of Omdurman. where Its effcts are
reported to have been terrifying, the mere
shock of the bursting of a'shell killing or
disabling any one within a radius of 40
or GO yards. If recent reports from South
Africa about the lyddite shell be true,
the area of Its destructive power has been
greatly exaggerated. In this connection
It may be well to state that lyddite, like
all other of the so-called high explosives,
is more or less unreliable. When Its com
bustion has been complete a black smoke
Is given off. but when fumes of a greenish
huo aro seen to arise, it is a sign of in
complete combustion, and, in consequence,
that the force of its explosion has been
considerably reduced. The English au
thorities apparently have great confidence
in lyddite. When used against field artil
lery and bodies of troops In the open, the
moral effect of lyddite shell Is enormous."
The Numeral Three In China.
New York Tribune Correspondence.
Religious superstition asserts itself In
Chinese architecture, and the universal
sacredness of the numerals three and nine
is shown in the arrangement of temple
doors. There Is a triple gateway to each
of the halls of the Imperial Palace, and
the same order prevails at the Ming
tombs, and the sacred person of the Em
peror, when he was In his Pekln home,
could only be approached, even by the
highest officials, after three times three
prostrations. The Temple of Heaven has
a triple roof, a triple marble staircase
and all its mystic symbolism points eith
er to three or its multiples.

that my election Is assured by a major
ity of 2500 to 3000. The election of the
National ticket being absolutely certain,
the small margin In my race is not a mat
ter of great concern. I believe my ma
jority will be counted and a certificate
issued."
Governor Beckham would only say that
he had been elected by at least 10,000 and
was perfectly satisfied.
Ex-Governor McCreary, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, said:
"I am satisfied that Kentucky has gone
Democratic by from COOO to 10,000. I have
received returns from 74 counties from
Chairmen of the county campaign com
mittees. I have also heard unofficially
from 24 counties, and giving the Repub

firm the preliminary estimates sent out
last night Bryan's plurality will be. from
SS.OOO to 18.000, and Governor Toole leads
the Democratic state ticket with -from

NEBRASKA.
Returns Are Close and Both
Sides
Are Claiming the State.
OMAHA, Nov. 7 Election returns in
Nebraska are so close as to be watched
keenly.
Chairman Lindsey, of the Republicans,
claims tonight that WsKlnley carries the
state by 7000 or more the Republican state
ticket wins by 5000 to 7000, and that the
Republicans hive a majority of 17 In the
Legislature. Republicans claim the elec
tion of Mercer and Burkett for Congress,
and the election of Pope, Moreland, and
possibly Hayes.
Against this the Democrats claim Bryan
has carried the state, though by a narrow
margin of not over 1000, that the fuslon
ists have a safe worklhg majority in tho
Legislature, that the Republican state of
ficers have been elected by from SOW) to
5000, and that, conceding ,the election of
Mercer and Burkett, tho jCusionists have
pulled through Robinson. Stark. Shallcn
berger and Neville. The latter Is the only
fusion Congressman conceded by the Re
publicans. The Legislature will be In doubt until
complete returns are in. Indications ara
that it will be fusion by a small major
ity. The total vote of tho state is about
210,000.
OMAHA, Nov. 7. Complete figures
have been received from. 20 of tho 90
counties in tho state. These counties
polled 75,000 votes, or approximately one
third of tho vote of tho state. The vote
for the 20 counties was returned as fol
lows: Bryan, 37,890. McKlnley, 40,099.
These counties four years ago gave
Bryan 38.002; IcKlnley, 34,481. This
change, if maintained, would come very
near wiping out the Bryan plurality of
13,000 of 1896. Scattering returns frdm
other counties show a smaller percentage
of loss, and indicate that the Fusion elec
toral ticket may win out by a lead of
about 1200 01 1500. In Douglas County
the Legislative delegation is Fuslbn by
majoritels ranging from 100 to COO, at least
one State Senator out of three nd two
Representatives out of nine being Repub
lican. The World-Herald (dem) tomorrow will
say: "The Legislature of Nebraska Is
Fusion by 72 votes out of 123 on Joint
ballot In the Senate there will be 14
Republicans and. 19 Fuslonlsts. In the
House there will be 47 Republicans and
53 Fusionist3." The Worfd-Herald then
prints tho 'names of those elected.

NEW YORK. Nov. 7. The ofllclal re

changing the state results, and McKin
ley's plurality at midnight renaalns ap
proximately 145,000 Jn the state. ,
John B. Stahcn"fleld,1 the Democratic
nominee .for Governor, ran ahead ofils
party's Presidential Electors, but Odell's
plurality still remains about 100,000;
The democrats have carried Greater
New York by about 27,500. This forms
one of the surprises of the campaign,
for the reason that OSeH had claimed the
state in his ante-election statements by
only 100,000, and the Republicans gener
ally have been willing to concedethat Mr.
Bryan would carry Greater New York
by at least 60,000. The Democrats claimed
that Bryan would carry New York by
SO.000 to 90,000. Mr. Crokcr is quoted as
saying:
"No power on earth nothing but his
death can prevent Mr. Bryan from re
maining the National leader of the peo
ple." The entire Republican state ticket has
been elected, and the Republicans havo
made gains in both houses of the State
Legislature.

HUGS RUSSIAN LOCOMOTIVE
Larsest nt the Paris Exposition Has
Twelve Driving Wheels.
Engineering Magazine.
The most remarkable Russian engine In
the Paris Exposition is the gigantic 12
wheeled double-six-coupled duplex com
pound on a modification of the Mallet sys
tem, and bearing the number H. 810. This
is by far tho biggest and heaviest en
gine in the whole exhibition, weighing
as It does 86 tons and having a vast 46
ton tender appended; the total weight of
tender and engine being therefore no less
than 132 tons, while the top of the chim
ney stands 16 feet 9 Inches above the rail-,
level. This mfghty locomotive is con
structed on th.e articulated plan, the .four
foot driving wheels being coupled in two
groups of six each, one being practically
a steam bogie, whilo each group Is driven
by one hlgh-pressuro and one-low-pressure
cylinder, the respective diameters being
184. inches and 23 inches. In the case of
this particular engine, more may be said
on behalf of the complex system of ar
ticulation employed than in the case of
the smaller but similar locomotive.
The Russian 12-wheeler Is Intended for
the haulage of Immense loads and the
ascent of steop grades. It is essential to
the development of its full usefulness
that it should be able to utilize its entire
adhesive weight for traction and that this
weight should be distributed as widely as
possible upon the rails without such dis
tribution involving an undue length of
rigid wheelbase.
Coal Costs Less in America.
Engineering Magazine.
The average cost of coal per ton at the
pit head in the United States Is given
on a computation based on the returns
for 1896 as 4s 9d per ton, as compared
with 5s 10id In the United Kingdom, a
lid in Germany, 7s 7d In Belgium, 8s 8d
in France, 5s 3d in New South Wales,
10s In New Zealand, and a fraction over
5s in Japan. If, therefore, American coal
owners can scarcely yet hope to break,
with any profit to themselves, the pro
verbial record of "sending coals to New
castle," they have still other countries
open to' them. Aa competitors, British

Agreement Between Barneses and
Hittltes Humane for That Ace.
Chautauquan.
The walls of the great Hall of Karnak
aro covered with ImjJortant inscription.
Avhich have thrown much light upon the
history of the Egyptians. Among- others,
the treaty of peace between Rameses ani
the Hittltes of the Hebrew Scriptures Is
worthy of notice as the first recordel
agreement between nations. Our late; an
tagonist, the Queen Regent of Spaing
may well consider herseK fortunate that
she was not called upon to negot.ate
with this Pharaoh Instead of Unole Sam.
for Rameses didn't waste any time on
protocols or commissions, or pay $20,
000,000 after his opponent had sued for
peace. He evidently dictated the treaty
himself, for It begins: "Ramesee, thief
of rulers, who fixes his frontiers where
he pleases."
Ther last clause of this document Is tho
earliest extradition agreement between
two countries calling for the reciprocal
delivery of political fugitives, and It la
remarkably humane for that age. It pro
vides that "v,hosoever shall bo so deliv
ered up, himself, his wives, his cbilaren,
let him. .not be smitten to death; more
over, let him not suffer in his eves, his
mouth, his feet; moreover let not any
crime be set up against him." And th
whole is witnessed by the great god of
Canaan, the great god of Egypt, and all
the thousand gods, mala and female, tha
gods of the hills, the rivers, the great
sea, the winds and the clouds of both:
lands.
Laplander's Best Friend.
Tho Laplanders depend greatly upon
the reindeer for their dally food. Rein
deer give them the only milk they can
obtain; their flesh is the staple article of
diet, eaten both fresh as venison and also
after having been dried in tho smoke of
their fires. Tho skin furnishes them with
useful material for clothing, and tho liv
ing reindeer is the beast of burden and
draft animal of the cold northern climes.
