GOV. PRINCES MESSAGE.

| The message delivered by Gov. Prince,
Of New Mexico. to the legislature OF that
territory, which is now in session, is a
lengthy document. 1t is devoted to the
discussion OF numerous subjects, some OF
which Are only of local interest, while
others are of interest to people living out.
side of New Mexico.
Mexico to know that uuder the present
administration there has been a great i'm.
provement in the finances of the territory
This is seen in the reduction of expendi.
lures. 1t appears that there has been q
reduction OF $4,000 year under this
administration in comparison with the
one Which preceded it. Whatever the
! enemies of New Mexico may say about it
in other respects, every one must admit
that, financially, it is in an excellent con-
dition.
Governor Prince discusses the much.
talked-of subject Of Immigrant titles.
But little now can be said on this subject.
1t is OF such great importance that it has
been fully discussed over and over again.
But Governor Prince shows that he ap-
preciates its Importance. 1t is to be hoped
that congress will see the wisdom of pro-
viding method by which these land
grant titles may be speedily settled.
On the subject of statehood he says
ut cannot be conceived that any friend
of New Mexico would not favor her eman-
cipation from the territorial condition and
her assumption of the full powers and
dignity of statehood. X n Our people
are mainly the descendants of the two
great nations which insisted on the rights
of the people in England under Magma
Chsrta, and drove the Moors out OF Spain
that self-goyernment should reign there.
They are descendants of the patri-
OTIS who fought for the independence
of the United States in 1776, and OF Mex
leo from 1910 to 1921. Is it possible that
the sons of such sires are not capable Of
self-government when they are united ?"
He suggests that an earnest appeal from
the legislature in behalf of statehood would
not be without effect.
He discusses the subject of public schools
at great length and makes number Of
suggestions as to public school law
which should be passed. The New Mex
leo school system is very defective, and
that territory will always stand in more
or less unfsvorable light until it organizes
system in harmony with American We've
on this subject.
New Mexico is now in prosperous con-
dition, and the legislature should he par
ticularly careful to enact wise laws. 1t
should make whatever provisions may he
needed to attract immigration and to de.

THE CONTEST CASE OF PEREA vs.,
CHAVES.

The house OF representatives of the
Goth legislative assembly will now have
most excellent chance to distinguish it.
self in fact, it can not help itself very
WE'LL it must distinguish itself; a
few weeks ago, MIR. Francisco Pc
rea, of Bernalillo county, initiated
contest against Mr. Melquiades Chaves
the latter on the Republican ticket at the
recent election received majority over
Perea OF only 720 votes for member of
the house; the contest was inflated by
order OF the Democratic executive COM
mittee at Albuquerque for two-iold pur-
pose; one was to scare Mr.. Chayes, if
possible, and the other was to trade on.
No testimony was taken, and nothing
appears before the house committee Oh
elections except Mr.. Perea's notice OF
contest; on yesterday the case was before
the committee, and, we presume, will
come up before the house probably to-day
or very soon any way. Now the house must
distinguish itself and shall distinguish
itself; if it votes to retain Mr.. Melquiades
Chaves as a member, OF course it will be
q wonder, no matter if out of total vote
of about 1000 he received a majority OF
about 80; if it votes to seat Mr. Perea it
again distinguishes itself, because it adds
another Democratic vote to the Demo-
cratic ma jority in the house; as far as the
people are concerned a little more or less
of that sort OF business is not material
and as far as the Republicans are con-
cerned they care absolutely nothing for it.
The house can do as it sees fit in the
premises. If it wants another Democratic
vote, seat Mr.. Perea; if another Demo-
cratic vote is not wanted, let Mr.. Chaves
remain; who receives the "a per day is
not important. Go ahead and do some

THE MILITIA CLAIMS RACKET,

The willy Democratic politicians rather
struck snag when they attempted to
spring and have passed in the legislative
council that resolution to investigate the
militia claims. Under the guise Of out
ragged indignation it appears they sought
to railroad through the council a resolu-
ton which would have been quite to
their hand in attaining an object they
earnestly sought for, YET which, in case
Of unfavorsble comment in the future,
they could make showing OF holding up
their hands In holy horror over, and
swear the thing was done by a Republi-
can council. But they made bungle Of

sufficiently high to avoid be-
ing silenced by musketry fire. If an
assanlting force has succeeded in
reaching the ditch, therefore, it may
quickly scale the works if oil parts Of
the ditch are not simultaneously SUBJ
iected to rapid fire. Delay at this
moment, when the heavy guns are no
longer available. may be fatal to the
defenders. 1t is to meet this emer-
gencv that the flank defense gun has
been designed for use III Notifications.
The principle upon which this new
weapon depends is as follows: If from
rifed gun y round of case shot be
fired the canister containing balls of
equal shape and size symmetrically
disposed about the axis of the projec-
tile, and if this canister case takes the
rifing of the bore, remaining whole
until the instant of leaving the muzzle,
the balls will spread in a cone whoss
angle at the apex depends upon the
twist of the rifling.
The more rapid the twist the greater
will be the angle of the cone of disper-
sion and the wider and longer the area
over which the balls will spread. The
intersection of this cone with the plane
of the ditch will be an eilipse, and tho
dangerous zone-the area upon which
the balls will fall-will be of the form
of two crescents with their horns touch
ing, the apex of one crescent toward the
gun and the other pointing in the op.
posite direction, covering the whole
field.
II now another canister he fred from
II second barrel, the twist of the rifling
being less rapid. the balls will fall upon
an area OF less breadth and less length
than the first and wholly inside 1t, hit
ting points that would otherwise es-
cape. similarly, if a third barrel be
rifled with twist less rapid than the
second the dangerous zone or crescents
Of its canister balls will be inside the
dangerous area of the second barrel.
by properly varying the twist in the
different barrels these dangerous
spaces, one within the other. may be
made to touch. and SO every point
within the length and breadth OF the
ditch may he struck by q ball

Interesting experiments have re.
Gently been made on the Lake of Zurich
with q boat built entirely of alum
mum. The boat weighs only about
half ton-viz., about half the weigh.
OF an ordinary boat OF the same size.
It was built ut the works Of Messrs.
Escher Wyss & Co., of Zurich, the
metal having been furnished by the
Aluminium Works, of Schaffhausen.
where it is obtained by an electrical
process, the dynamos being driven, not
by steam engines, but by turbines,
which utilize the water power of the
celebrated falls of the Rhine, so that
the boat claims to be exclusively the
product of Swiss aOOr and power. 1t
carries eight persons, and, with a
petroleum engine of only two horse,
easily makes six miles an hour. Alumni
mum not being subject to rust, the per-
manent color OF the boat is beautiful
dull white, while the chimney, being
of polished aluminium, shines like
silver. The trial trips of the boat were
eminently successful, and it is antici.

1t is only necessary, therefore. to
modify the present ive-barreled Hotch-
kiss revolving cannon by giving to the
rifling of each barrel different twist,
and this is done Us follows:
Barrel No. 1--One turn in 80 inches.
Barrel No. a--One turn in 81 inches
Barrel No. 3-One turn in 81 inches
Barrel No. 4-One turn in 11S inches.
Barrel No. 5-One turn in a6Oinches.
While the foregoing may be regard
cd as the standard gradations the vari-
ATOMS in twist of rifiing will depend
upon the height Of the gun above the
ditch and the range within which it
must be effective. Two men may
work the gun. one turning the crank
and the other feeding the cartridges.
The carriage on which the gun is
mounted is of iron, with parallel side
frames. and the effort of recoil is re-
sisted by anchoring the carriage with
pickets and by friction brakes on the
hubs of the wheels. A special device
is provided for feeding the gun with
great rapidity at critical moments. To
complete its destructive character the
projectiles employed are canister. the
