RIVAL CITIES.
A Warm Contest for the Democratic
National Convention.


National Convention.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The contest
for the Democratic national convention
is now becoming very interesting, and
every incoming train brings additional
delegations from competing cities. The
California delegation has not yet ar
rived. 1t was probably caught by
snowstorm and may not reach here un-
til this evening.
The delegation from Milwaukee
headed by Governor Peck is the largest.
Its members assert with confidence that
their city will lead all the others on the
first ballot.
The Indianapolis people are doing
effective work in quiet way. The chief
argument urged against indianapolis by
representatives of other contesting
cities yes erday, was that it has presi-
Dental aspirant, Ex-Governor Gray, but
the Indianapolis men say there is
nothing in this.
Already it is evident that Cincinnati
ia one of the most formidable competi-
tors for the convention, and the labors
of Senator Brice in behalf of that city,
and the we'll known fact that he holds
the proxies of several absent members,
makes Lu6 OluCiDudtl UciCSdtlOn QuAto
confident of ultimate success.
Kansas City claims sixteen votes upon
the first ballot.
The St. Paul delegation acknowledges
that the chances of that city are being
imperilled by the somewhat general
grievance of the press against Minneap-
oils for the alleged failure of the latter
city to make proper accommodations for
the press during the coming Repub-
lican convention, but Secretary Baker
insists that this grievance against Min
neapolis should not operate to the
prejudice of st. Paul, as that city has
ample hotel facilities.
The New York delegation of Tam
many hall men indignately deny the re-
port of that they are not serious in their
contest for the convention.
The national committee will meet at
noon tomorrow, but it is not expected
that the date and site of the convention
will be determined until the following
day.
The most confident cities in the race
tonight are undoubtedly Cincinnati and
Milwaukee. The delegation from Gin
cinnati is already speaking confidently
of the ultimate support OF New York,

ing finally on the votes Detroit may get
on first ballot. New York, and Detroit,
however, are not at all disposed to con-
cede the somewhat presumptive claims
OF their rivals as yet.
There is talk about the Cleveland and
Hill advocates favoring certain cities,
but those with authority earnestly
deny the statement and appear indiffer-
ent as to the place of holding che con-
vention.
There is evident anxiety as to where
Hill, German and Brice want the con-
vention to go.

the senate committee of the national

4 WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The justices
of the supreme court of the United

when ex-senator Edmunds, acting as

that, in his opinion, it was entirely
wrong in its decision in the celebrated
original package case from Iowa. The
principle laid down in that case was one
dangerous to the peace and security of
the people of the individual states, and
with great dif1idence he, urged the court
to go~back to the true doctrine in this

great rapidity an auxiliary storage res
crvolr is used, charged with air COM
pressed to twice the pressure to be used
in the gun. After each discharge the
air is drawn from these to restore the
pressure in the firing reservoir. Com
pressed air is furnished by means of
some standard air compressor The
shell, which is made as light as is con-
sistcnt with strength, is of seamless
brass. 1t is kept in the proper ire

kept from met allie contact with the
same by means of pins in the head, by
leather gas check at the rear end Of
the cylindrical part and by projections
riveted to the spiral vanes of the tail.
The conical point, while strong enough
to resist crushing from impact with the
water, is SO thin as to readily crush
when striking solid target. The
charge in the shell is uncamphorated
explosive gelatine with core of dyna-
mite. When handled with care it is as
safe from accidental explosion as gum
powder. Fitted to the shell is an cleo
tric fuse, SO arranged as to explode
after striking target or descending be-
low the water, a current being started
by wetting the elements of battery
carried in the shell. The 15-inch gun
is about 55 feet long and will throw
shells containing 600 pounds of ex-
plosivc gelatinc to q distance of a mile.

Edmund Louis Gray Zalinski was
born in Kurnick, Prussian Poland, De-
cember IL, 1910. -Four years later he
was brought to this country and was
educated in the schools of Seneca
Falls and Syracuse. In 1864 he entered
the volunteer service as aid-de-camp to
Gen. Miles, now known as the Indian
fighter. He was soon after made Sec
ond lieutenant of the Second New York
heavy artillery on the recommendation
of his superior officer for bravery at
IIatcher's Run, Va. At the close of the
war, being mustered out of the volun-
tccr service, he entered the regular
army as second lieutenant of the Fifth
United States artillery, in which regi-
mcnt he has since been advanced to
! captain. From 1872 to 1870 he was pro-
fcssor of military science in the Massa-
chusetts institute Of technology. In
May, 1850, he was graduated from the
artillery school ut Fortress Monroe,
and two months later from the school
of submarine mining ut Willcts Point.
Besides pcrfecting the torpedo gun,
Mr.. IalinslSi devised n method for en-
act sight allowance to be made for de-
viations due to the wind in the use of
rified artillery and otlicr arms. He has
also invented an intrenching tool a:ia e.
ramrod bayonet.

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
Something About the Man Who
Invented, It.
Although Native of Prussian Poland
Capt. Zalinski Is Thorough Ameri-
can-IIis Genius as - Prac-
tical Inventor.

The introduction of dynamite into
modern warfare, says the Mechanical
News, was the means of adding an
other name to the galaxy of American
inventors, for in 1884 Capt. Zalfnski
constructed II pneumatic torpedo pun
which fired dynamite shells by the use
OF compressed air in place of gunpowder.
AT first 2-inch gun was built When
this proved satisfactory it was speedi-
~ followed by one of inches.
when it was shown that shells of high
explosives could be safely thrown some
1000 yards. a year later an S-inch
gun was mounted ut Fort LAFAYETTE
which was subjected to innumerab
tests and always with gratifying re-
suits. One of these, on September 90
1887, was the firing of six shots at n
government schooner. The vessel was
completely destroyed, four of the shots
landing in practically the same spot at
range of 1918 yards. The success of
these tests led to the construction of
three 15-inch guns for the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius. The Italian COVE rn-
ment also ordered one, and military
critics agree that the invention will
take a most important place in future
warfare.
In general appearance the gun some
what resembles a telescope. 1.-The bar
rel consists of long tube of brass.
The breech mechanism is a simple gate
arranged SO that the valve mechanism
cannot work until the breech is prop
erly closed. Perfect control of the
range is had by regulating the amount
of compressed air admitted in rear of
the projectile and without a change on
elevation or pressure. The valve adj
hitting air is balanced valve whose
opening and closing is regulated; be-
sides, the air can be throttled on its
way from the reservoir to the valve, Sc
that, though the valve may open and
! close in uniform time, the amount OF
| air passing into the gun in that time
can be varied. AS this can be regu-
lated to hairs breadth with great
rapidity, the range can be better pegu-
! lated for a moving target than by
changing the elevation of the gun
Wrought-iron reservoirs, some 10 inches
in diameter and IS feet long, contain
the compressed air. The reservoir
tubes from which the air is drawn di
rectly for firing are called the firing
reservoirs. When large number o.
