ENGLAND'S DEADLIEST WEAPON
N«w Gun Which Will Iniar* Her Sac-
cess on the Seat.
In accordance with the recommenda-
tion of parliament, writes a Woolwich
correspondent, the British navy is be-
ing strengthened by the addition of a
new gun which will insure the suprem-
acy of Great Britain over the seas for
many years to come, says the London
Leader. It is known as the twelve-
Inch steel and wire gun, and is not
only the best weapon which the myal
navy fcas ever had, but is far superior
to any gun possessed by any foreign
navy. It weighs fifty tons, is forty-
one feet long, has a muzzle velocity of
2,367 feet per second. The projectile
weighs 850 pounds, the bursting charge
being eighty-three pounds and the fir-
ing charge 167% pounds of cordite.
The admiralty has ordered 450, at a
cost of £10,000 each. Of these 150
have been completed, and 300 are still
in the hands of the contractors. Bach
man-of-war will carry four of these
formidable weapons, and when the
navy is supplied they will be issued to
forts on the sea front. The new gun
will be the heaviest in the service, and
will take the place of the 110-ton, 100-
ton and 80-ton guns, of which no more
are to be made. The best Krupp gun
can fire a shot twelve and a half miles,
and the United States government is
constructing at its arsenal at Water-
vliet a monster gun which, it is said,
will carry a heavy shot twenty-one
miles. The new British naval gun,
though less than half the weight of the
American weapon, mounted on the
heights of Dover, can, however, drop
a shell on the shores of France. No
accuracy of aim could, of course, be
obtained or maintained at this long
distance, the effective range being 16,-
000 yards, or between nine and ten
miles.
A WARRIOR OF THE DEEP.
The Svordfish Is a Fighter Absolutely
Without Fear.
The swordfish is utterly without fear
and will, like a buffalo or rhinoceros,
charge anything that offends it, often
doing an amount of execution hardly
to be believed did not the evidence ex-
ist, says the San Francisco Call. Com-
bats between swordfish are most inter-
esting and may be compared to a duel
between two expert swordsmen. Such
a contest was observed off the long
pier that extends out into the ocean at
Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, last
year. Some fishermen noticed, two big
fish leaping out of the water and
dashing along the surface. Soon it
was seen that they were swordfish.
The season was when the fish are un-
usually ferocious. They had made
several rushes and when observed
were at close quarters, striking each
other powerful side blows like cavalry-
men. This was unsatisfactory, and
finally they separated and darted at
each other like arrows, the water hiss-
ing as their sharp dorsal fins cut
through it. They evidently struck
head on, one missing, while the sword
of the other struck just below the eye
and plowed a deep furrow in the fish,
partly disabling it, so that it turned
and attempted to escape. But its ad-
versary also turned and with a rush
drove its sword completely through the
body of its foe and held it fast, only
wrenching its weapon loose when its
enemy stopped swimming.
SWITZERLAND'S PRESIDENT.
Walther Hauser, who has recently
been le-elected president of the Swiss
republic, has long been prominent in
the" politics of his country. He was
for ten years a* member of the Na-
tional council, then became vice-presi-
dent and last year was elected presi-

PRESIDENT HAUSER.
dent. His fre-election this year is the
reward of merit. He is a leather mer-
chant and is 62 years old.
Capt. Oridley's Mother.
A bill is pending in Congress provid-
ing for an increase in the pension ot
Mrs. Anne Gridley, mother of Capt,
Charles V. Gridley, who commanded
the Olympia in the battle of Manila.
She is an aged woman, but has long
been employed as a clerk in the Land
office. Her salary, together with a
pension of $20 per month for services'
as a nurse in the civil war, kept her
alive. She is now too old to work.

DOINGS AT DEN VEIL
Items of Interest From the Ctty and the
State Capitol.
Some of Denver's bakers are being
fined for selling under-weight loaves
of bread.
The various posts of the G. A. U. in
this city are talking of putting up a
building to lie used by all of them.
Itev. F. F. Passmore, the minister
whot was driven from the Methodist
Church because of his denunciations
of high officials, has returned to Den-
ver after spending some time In min-
ing. He tried to speak at Asbury
Church Sunday, but was ejected and
arrested.
On the night of the 26th the offices
of the Illustrated Weekly uTid Rocky
Mountain Sentinel were broken into
and several articles of value stolen, in-
cluding a case of fifty watches used
for premium purposes, the managers
overcoat, some staiups. etc. It is
thought the thieves will be caught, as
the watches all bore the trade mark,
"The Calhoun Watch, Denver, Colo."
Deputy Register O'Reilly of the state
land board, who is preparing a list of
delinquents who hold land under the
certificate of purchase plan, has found
that the sum due to me state is $28,-
000. Not all the delinquencies have
yet been discovered. Aliout 1,000 cer-
tificates are yet to be examined. W.
H. Lawrence, who purchased under
this plan section 30, township 3, range
09 west in 1889. is behind $8,000 in
payments. This represents a balance
of the purchase price, $10,000, and in-
terest at seven per cent. Money col-
lected from the delinquents will go
into the public school permanent fund
and the interest into the public school
income fund.
Chief Engineer Cowan of the Colo-
rado & Southern, has returned from
an inspection of the work 011 the Crip-
ple Creek Short Line in South Tlatte
canon. He says that the ground is so
frosty that the men are making slow
progress. lie does not think it practi-
cable to do more than complete the
working surveys before spring. The
survey is now complete for eight miles
up from South Platte station, and so
far the construction presents no very
great difficulties. Rhodes Bros, remain
confident that tliey can prove in court
that the short line can be carried
around and above their reservoir site,
and to this end have surveyors in the
field running test lines.
Options on forty acres 01 land lying
on the liill back of the paper mills, to-
gether with several blocks in the plat
of Manchester, have been secured for
the location of the works of the Den-
ver Smelting Company. II. II. Joral-
man. who is at the head of the project,
is in Xew York securing money and
has reported progress that practically
assures the success of the undertaking.
This company fome months ago se-
cured an option on the old county poor
farm at $139,000, and it was later re-
ported that all negotiations in Denver
were oft" and that a site in Grand Junc-
tion would be accepted. Jarmuth &
Harrison have been carrying on the ne-
gotiations for the property at Man-
chester. The price of the site in South
Denver will l>e something in the neigh-
borhood of $50,000, and the company
will have land not only for the works,
but for the homes of the workmen.
The religious scruples of Attorney
General D. M. Campbell are invulner-
able to the demands of common duties
of the position he holds in the state
government. It has developed that he
did not go to Rocky Ford last Sunday
with the governor to inspect the land
sought by the Oxnard Beet Sugar Com-
pany. as instructed by the land board.
The same scruples kept him at home
last fall when several members of the
board visited lands in the vicinity of
Lamar, where the Great Plains Wateru
Company wanted 40,000 . acres of
school property. Mr. Campbell will not
travel 011 Sunday and positively refuses
to perform any duties on the Lord's
Day that can be accomplished at an-
other time. These junkets to the bar-
ren lands he holds in the light of. du-
ties that can he performed 011 week
days as well as 011 Sunday, and as
long as the Sabbath designated for
them he will remain at home.
Health Commissioner Carliu lias in-
augurated a crusade agaiust city bak-
eries which are selling loaves of bread
under weight. For the past few days
Dr. Carlin has had several sanitary in-
spectors engaged in purchasing bread
from the different bakeries in the city.
The department laboratory yesterday
looked as if the product of at least one
fully equipped bakery in 5-cent and IO-
cent loaves had been stored in it. The
loaves represented the purchases of the
sanitary inspectors and Assistant Meat
Inspector Hopkins. As a result of the
investigation a complaint was filed in
the police court during the afternoon
against Adolpli Roederer, a baker of
1(>22 Larimer street. The charge is for
selling bread under weight, and is
brought under sections lOGtS and 1007
of the health ordinances. A test will
be made of the Roederer case, and, if
the ordinance is sustained as constitu-
tional. other prosecutions will follow.
The State Forestry Association held
its annual meeting Wednesday at the
Chamber of Commerce and elected the
.following officers: President. W. N.
Byers; vice president. Henry Michel-
sen; secretary and treasurer, D. W.
Working. Professor C. S. Crandall of
the State Agricultural College, speak-
ing 011 "Reforestation," told of the time
it takes to reforest a burned area. The
trees of most rapid growth on the hill-
sides at the end of 150 years will have
a diameter of only 9.45 inches: mini-
mum growth, 3.49 inches; average,
6.70. Sometimes, when the trees are
crowded, they will have a diameter of
only one inch at the end of this time.
Speaking of a large region west of
Fort Collins which he had tramped
over for the collection of facts, he told
of putting out fires left burning within
plain sight of the notices posted against
such practices. Colonel May, govern-
ment superintendent of forestry for
Colorado, told of his work in preserv-
ing the forests of the five government
reservations of the state. His deputies
had extinguished 150 fires during the
year, he said. He submitted a list of
questions to the association concerning
the best methods of reforestation and
the best methods of securing a growth
of grass, to retain the moisture and
preserve the streams.
CONVICTS RECAPTURED.
Prison
to the
Wallace and Woode Returned to
—Wallace Did the Killing.
Denver, Jan. 20.—A special
News from Canon City says:
Kid Wallace and Antoue Woode were
captured last night on the toll road
between Canon City and Victor. They
were smuggled into the penitentiary
at an early hour this morning, giving
the people of the town no opportunity
to carry out the threats of lynching.
Woode says that Wallace did the
stabbing, .and Wallace makes no de-
nial. They talk of the crime with cold-
blooded indifference. Nothing can be
learned from them of the whereabouts
of Reynolds and Wagoner.
Warden Hoyt confirms the statement
of Secretary Stouaker that the war-
den's orders were disobeyed. He de-
fends his use of trusties, and says that
Stratton's release was a straight turn-
out and not an escape. He also says
that Roouey was warned against plac-
ing Wagoner 011 the night force.
Reynolds and Wagoner are known to
be near Victor and their capture is/al-
most certain.
In referring to the murder Woode
asserted that the stabbing was done by
Wallace.
"Toney. how many times do you sup-
pose Wallace struck RooueyV" asked
the warden.
"Oh. I suppose ten or a dozen times.
He socked it right to him." was the
cold-blooded reply.
Wallace did nor deny the charge.
Both wretches discussed the matter in
the same off-hand manner they might
have employed in talking of killing a
hog. Both stiffly deny any knowledge
of the whereabouts of Reynolds or
Wagoner, and each declares they were
deserted as soon as the wall was
cleared.
Warden Hoyt says: "Only one guard
on duty that night lias l>een relived
from duty as yet. This was E. D. Kel-
logg. who was stationed in tower No.
3. He was not over fifty feet from
where the four convicts went over the
wall." explained the warden, ' and
stood right off the boilers and egines
where the commotion occurred. If he
had been 011 guard he eould not have
helped hearing or seeing something
that was going on. yet he says he did
not. What he did was to crawl into
his ni^ght bucket ami pull the cover
down. '
The statement that orders were dis-
obeyed was affirmed. Warden Iloyt
says that Chief Engineer Page, while
declining to make a direct charge on
the ground that he did not like to draw i
a dead man into the matter, stated to !
him confidentially that lie had brought |
the matter before tlio night captain !
md cautioned liim agaiust taking the
chances of placing Wagoner on the
night force. Rooney had acknowledged
the error, but did not feel alarmed, he
said, now that the dial and wires were
all in shape to announce instantly any
disobedience of rules.
Feeling here is largely in sympathy
with Warden Hoyt. as it is a well es-
tablished fact that the institution has
been running with a short force of
trusty men to depend upon.
FIRES IN TWO TOWNS.
WARD AND LAFAYETTE oUFFER
The Entire Husiness Portion of Ward De-
stroyed With a Lobs of 880,000—Sever,
al Business Houses in Lafayette Are in
Ashe*.
Denver, Jan. 25.—A sp^v-ial received
by the Republican last night from
Ward, Colorado, says:
Boulder county's leading gold min-
ing camp went up in flame and smoke
to-day, and the townsite to-night re-
sembles a basin with the bottom burn-
ed out, the saved dwelling houses form-
ing the rim.
In the basin were all the business
houses, every one of which was de-
stroyed. Several of these business
houses were extensive two and three-
story frame and ston^t structures, built
since the advent of the Colorado &
Northwestern railroad in 1898.
All of the town records, including
the ordinances, land plats and data re-
lating to town lots were lost in the
destruction of the town hall.
The Odd Fellows' hall, which was a
large and well appointed building for
lodge meetings, was included in the
loss. In this hall the Masons, Odd Fel-
lows, Knights of Pythias, Fraternal
Union, A. O. U. W. and Woodmen had
their records and paraphernalia, and
many of them, especially the Odd Fel-
lows. were owners of line regalia, near-
ly all of which was burned with this
building.
There were forty-eight buildings in
all destroyed. including business
houses and dwellings. This does not in-
clude a number of small buildings,
such as barns, ice houses, etc.
The loss is conservatively estimated
at $90,000, with an insurance not. ex-
ceeding $8,000. The insurance rates
were ten per cent, in the business part
of the town and little was carried.
The town was without fire protection,
save where the Utica Mining Com-
pany's water main~was tapped in one
spot, and the tire was roo near and too
severe and fierce to allow this one
point to be available.
The lire4 is believed to have origin-
ated from an ash pan in the hallway
of the McClaucy hotel, a three-story
building. Some claim the fire sprang
from an adjoining house, owned by
I". R. Feltou. and occupied by room-
ers. The tire was first discovered at
1:45 a. m.
Me:iis osi street Cars
A plan is under consideration in Chi-
cago to attach buffet cars as trailers to
ordinary street cars. The cars will
seat twenty persons and the fare will
be 5 cents extra for ordinary trips. The
crew will consist of a conductor and
the porter, who is also to have charge
of the "kitchen," so called, but which
will consist of the small range and
urns as in railroad buffets. Under tb®
system a man may take his friends and
customers to luncheon and show them
the city at the same time, or he may
take his breakfast while riding to the
office.

DENVER GET JUSTICE.
Freight
The Fight to Secure Equitable
Rates Succeeds.
Washington. D. C.. .Tan. 2(5.—Attor-
ney W. B. Harrison of Denver, repre-
senting George .7. Kindel and the Den-
ver Chamber of Commerce, and Judge
Payson. attorney for the Southern Pa-
cific railway, appeared before the? Unit-
ed States Interstate Commerce Com-
mission to-day and reached an agree-
ment so far as the Southern Pacific is
concerned ia the suit brought to com-
pel a legal classification of Denver
freight rates. Judge Payson. on behalf
of his road, agreed that Missouri river
rates should be put in effect at Den-
ver Immediately. Mr. Harrison said
that lie believed if the Southern Pa-
cific were to put these rates into 'effect
that other roads would have to follow
suit,but he insisted that the case should
be set for hearing in Denver 011 the
return of the commission from its ex-
jiected visit to the Pacific coast next
month. The rehearing is to lie confined
to violations of section four of the in-
terstate commerce act. and will be
held solely to give the railroads not
granting the concession an opportun-
ity to furnish additional evidence if
they desire to do so.
If the Southei'11-.Pacitic complies with
the agreement reached to-day the case
against other roads will be continued
until they take the same action. It was
believed, however, at to-day's meeting,
that the whole matter will be adjusted
to the satisfaction of Denver parties to
the suits without further litigation.
Lafayette. Colo.. Jan. 25.—Two of the
main business blocks of Lafayette were
destroyed by lire yesterday morning.
An overheated stove 111 the lodge
room in the Noble Mercantile Company
building was the cause of the conflagra-
tion. The blaze started about 4 o'clock
in the morning. The wind at the time
was blowing a perfect gale.
The lower floor of the building was
occupied by the Western Trading &
Supply Company. The hall upstairs
was occupied by the Masons. Odd Fel-
lows, Knights of Pythias. Rebekahs
and Rathbone Sisters. The building
was a complete loss, as was all of the
paraphernalia of the lodges.
The postoffice, Hyman's general mer-
chandise store. E. E. Becket's station-
ery and cigar store. John Deren Bros.'
general merchandise store, Oates Bros.'
pool room. A. Kulleren's shop, the opera
house, Barrett & Barisford's bakery, C.
A. Carlson's tailor shop. Auert's jewel-
ry store, George Bauer's residence and
a barber shop followed in quick succes-
sion. II. T. Boeker's drug store was
also destroyed. Coroner Trezise of
Boulder lost about $«J00 worth of
goods. Gus Runge's house and livery
barn were destroyed. The horses were
taken out of the stable before the fire
reached it.
The fire burned 011 both sides of the
street, and was so hot that the firemen
had to lie flat in the street to be able
to turn the water 011 the flames. The
pressure on the water mains, however,
was^too light to enable the firemen to
fight the fire with any success.

London, Jan. 25.—The war office has
issued the following report from Gen-
eral Buller. Spearman's Camp, dated
January 25tli. 10 o'clock a. m.:
"General Warren's troops last nighr
occupied Spion kop, surprising the
small garrison, who fled. It has l>een
held by us all day, though we were
heavily attacked, especially by a very
annoying shell fire.
"I feared our casualties are consid-
erable. and I have to inform you. with
regret, that General Woodgate was
dangerously wounded.
"General Warren is of the opinion
that he has rendered the enemy's posi-
tion untenable. The men,are splendid."
Iyondon. Jan. 26.—Advices have l>een
received from Spearman's Canrp that
General Woodgate has succumbed to
the wounds he received in the attack
upon Spion Kop.

Portland. Ore.. Jan. 2.">.—The three-
year-old son of W. B. Evans, an en-
gineer on the St. John's motor line,
about noon to-day climbed into an en-
gine which was standing in the yard
and opened the throttle. In a short
space of time the engine was going at
a rate of twenty lwfles per hour. The
father of the boy started in pursuit as
soon as he beard the engine moving
off, but the speed was too great for
him to overhaul it. He telegraphed to
the stations ahead, but. when Ports-
mouth, the next station, was reached,
no one dared make the attempt to
board it as it thundered past. When
within three hundred yards of the end
of the line ".lie steam had died down
and a heavy grade was encountered,
which slackened the speed. A motor-
man on, a connecting electric line, who
had been informed bv telephone?, jump-
ed on board and stopped the engine
within a few feet of the terminus. The
boy held on to the throttle all the way
and was not at all disconcerted over
his perilous ride.
