CHICAGO, January 9s.-About two
months ago the Hon. Il. ii. Campbell,
ex-I'nited States Marshal for this dis
trct, while suffering with an attack OF
pneumonia, left his house In the night
and mysteriously disappeared. Every
known means was employed to get a
trace Of his whereabouts, but In vain,
until this morning, when his body was
discovered In the river near Rush street.
Though much swollen and distigured,
the features were still recognizable, and
the clothing and iewelry completed the
Identification.

FROM The FATHERLAND.
The Government Party Pals in Max
ing Germany a Great Naval
Country.
The Centre and Freissinige Parties
Succeed in Killing Emperor
Williams Ambition.
The Result May Effect the Position
Held by Chancellor Won
Caprivi.

BERLIN, March by his personal in
fuence the emperor has succeeded in pre-
venting tie defeat In the Reichstag Of the
government on the proposed addition to
TIRE navy, but this only has beer done by
inducing some of the members to abstain
from voting. The debate on the subject
disclosed the fact that both centre and
fre1ssinige parties we're strongly opposed
to c0ncedin. the amounts required for the
construction of two or three gun-boats,
one iron-clad and one dispatch
boat. The question, though not of
striking import, became one of serious
moment for the government, when the
two parties combined to oppose an in
crease of the navy on general principIe
The government demand was finally limit
ed to two gunboats. Todays division in the
Reichstag the government III against II.
The constitution requiring that Cne-half
of the member must vote and there
being one short of that number, the
voting question will be resumed Monday.
Since the committee Of the house heard
Admiral Holmans rank disclosure of the
admiralty projec cts to raise Germany to
the rank Of a great naval power, the
reichstag has been thoroughly alarne ed
and it has been difficult to persuade that
body to cCrcede even reasonable demands.
1t was painful to hear Chancellor Caprivi
yesterday evening say that there IS no
necessity for two more gunbOats to
guard the approach to the Baltic canal.
DIR. Winthorst contended that the canal
could not be completed before 1898 and
chat the building and equipping of gun
boats could well wait. Chancellor Won
Caprivi asserted that the canal would be
opened IN 1895 and held that Germany
ought to have vessels ready to pro-
tect it, as it could not be pro-
tected by land Notifications alone.
The action Of the house clearly declares
that the national opinion is adverse to
any attempt to make Germany a great
naval power, and that any contest with
g foreign power must be fought out on
land. Emperor William is very much
disconnected over the defeat of
the cherished idea Of grand
navy. His majesty lays the
blame for the defeat upon the discretion
of Admiral Holman in making his dis
closures, and the chaucellors want Of par
liamentary tact Admiral Holman has
offered to resign the secretaryship of ad-
mirality The position OF CapTivi is nm
derstood to be critical. The en-
peror has openly taken Waldersee
to his favor, but it is
improbable that he will succeed Caprivi.
Tie emperor, it is believed, contemplates
a stronger foreign policy, together with
return to the rigorous system Of socialist
repression practiced by Bismarck. The
signs of the readoption of the princes
method of government has given rise to
the report that the emperor has opened
communication with the ex-chancellor.

AFTER THE NEW JUDGESHIPS.
Men Who Are Struggling for the
Prizes to BE Given Out.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The action of
the President in reappointing Judge Beatty
to the newly creatad Idaho judgeship is
taken to mean that he is satisfied that this
and similar positions are ''vacancies''
within the meaning of the law, and that
the advice and consent of the senate is
not necessary before the Judges take their
seats. Beatty was named during the ses-
sion, but his confirmation was defeated by
Senator Farwell. He viii now take the
office and hold 1t until the Senate meets
in December. 1t is assumed that the Presi-
dent intends to treat the newly created
appeal courts in the same way and I'll
them without calling an extra session.
The weight Of pre- edents undoubtedly
sustains this view, but in the opinion Of
some public men the wiser course in filing
SO many i'm ortant judicial positions
would be first to have the appointments
confirmed by the Senate regardless of
precedents.
There is no reason to suppose that the
pressure of ex Congressman for the e de-
sirable places will have much influence in
determining the Pr esident choice. Gen.
Harrison has already made it plain in his
judicial appointments that he does not
regard the bench as proper asylum for
politicians. Of the nine new appe late
judges two or thrse may be eZ-Congress-
men, but they viii be eX-Cong- essmen of
reputation as lawyers rather than as poll
ticians.

CHICACVS GREAT PROJECT.
Tt Will Take Millions of Dollars to
Effectually Settle the Drain
age Question.
The Present Law Provides for a
Waterway Far Larger Than
is Necessary.
The Sanitary Board Promulgates an
Address to the People Con-
corning the Problem.

CHICAGO, March An important step
was taken today by the trustees of the
Chicago sanitary district. The board
adopted an address to the people of the
distric declaring in effect that the water
way provided for in the drainage lava
channel IA feet deep through the earth and
Is deep by $50 feet wide through rock
cannot be constructed for less that
$50, 100000 Such channel would
give flow of water of over seven hundred
and fifty thousand cubic feet per minute,
whereof the theory of the law is that a
flow Of three hunded thousand cubic feet
per hnnute is ample, according TO the
statement If the board, for all purposes of
sanitation and dilutiOn, and will afford
channel for navigation which will prOba-
bly, not be met at It's southern terminus
Tor at near Joliet by a
similar channel during this generation,
and possibly never, that is, as long as the
present conditions continue. The board
says by reducing the channel to about ten
feet depth the expenditure would be re-
duced approximately about ten millions.
flow of three hundred thousand cubic
feet per minute is not required to be In
creased until the government makes
a channel to the Desplaines or Illinois rivers
of a capacity to receive six hundred thous
and cubic feet. AS the general govern
ment has not yet taken definite action
toward this, it does not seem proper to
the board to plan and execute such an ex-
tensive work without advising the peo-
pie. Ifin the future rivers should be so
deepened as to require this large
channel, let that time enlarge and pay
for it. The board suggests to the
citizens that they have the law amended
in such particulars as will enable the
trustees to execute it in the most practi-
cal ard economical way. The address
says, in closing; this recommendation.
In nowise trenches upon the
policy of commercial water way
through the Illinois river valley; On the
contrary, its adoption will do two thing:
first there will result a channel to Joliet
much greater for the purposes of a COM
mercial waterway than the Illinois river;
second, the construction of this will pro
mote the project SO far as it depends on
federal legislation.

Sures ever obtained from an e-Incn gun
were those developed with some of the
Nobel GERMANY smokeless powder used in
a krupp gun short time ago. Splendid
results were also recently obtained by
the French with new smokeless powder
tried in gun of 4-inch caliber. Our army
officials were so struck with the success of
these powders that negotiations were at
once made for samples for experiment in
this country.
The French samples viii be tried in the
new 81 inch siege guns and the German
In eight or ten inch guns. As near as can
be judged from the data received the ord
nance officials say that all the objections
which have hitherto existed with the var
ious brands of sEao-e,ess powder haze
been overcome, and the German powder
particularly spronoun ed perfect IN every
respect. This powder is said to be per-
fectly Indifferent to dampness, samples
having been fired successfully after being
submerged in water for half an hour. 1t
burns with perfect regularity and is much
fEeer from smoke than most Of the So
called smokeless powder. In the air it
burns with quiet fame and absolutely
without smoke. Its principal ingredients
are believed to be nitro glycerine and col
lodion cotton.
