Hiram Maxim The Inventor of the Automatic Gun
Lord Salisbury praised Hiram Maxim as a prolific weapon inventor born in Maine in 1840 who developed the Maxim automatic machine gun after an early start as a wood turner and carriage builder. He later moved to England, became a British subject, was knighted, and worked with Vickers & Maxim while pursuing other innovations including early electric lights and an airship.

Congress Fails to Pass Most Items in PVH Extra Session
The Sixty congress faced strong opposition from factions beyond its control, passing only Canadian reciprocity, campaign expense publicity, reapportionment of the House, and statehood with recall of judges. Major aims like tariff bills, direct election of senators, and reciprocity treaties were blocked or postponed amid probes into Lorimer, Stephenson, trusts, and various department inquiries.
