Mexican Soldiers aud Revoiationtsts En-
gage In Another Battle.
NEW NUEvADA, Mex, Dec. H.-It is
now definitely known that there is one
band of revolutionists, numbering about
900, on Mexican soil, dispatch having
been received here from Guerrero, in
the State of Tamaulips, stating that .
detachment OF Mexican soldiers sta
toned five miles from Camargo were
attacked by the revolutionists. The
soldiers were SO greatly outnumbered
that they attempted no defense, but re-
tired in panic stricken order to the
town of Camargo, where the remainder
of their troops were stationed. The
revolutionists kept up q constant firing
on the government soldiers, but have
not yet attacked Camargo. 1t is re-
ported that several soldiers were
wounded. Reinforcements have been
ordered to Camargo, and bloody bat.
tie will ensue unless the reyolutionists
again seek refuge on United States soil.

The General Land once Has Caught Up
with It's Business.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ~. The state
ment of the commissioner of the general
land Office in his annual report to the
effect that the work of that Office is up
to date was regarded as gratifying in
dication OF industry, with which the
business of the office had been attended
to, but the sequel is not quite SO agree
able, because the land officials are con-
fronted with the problem of how to
keep employed the present force Of
clerks. The current work is not suffi-
cient to occupy the number of clerks
now employed. Two years ago the
weekly issue of land patents was ap-
proximately 5000, and this number has
now fallen to less than 1000 per week.
1t Is expected that early in the new year
there will be reduction in the force of
from % to 30 per cent.

Fanwood, Of the Central Railroad oi
New Jersey, in charge of Pilot Tinsar
was entering her Liberty street slip al
1915 q. m. when the signal was giver

and the paddle wheels did not stop. The
boat entered the slip under full speed
and crushed into the ferry float, break
ing down the entrance gate and shatter
ing the approaches. John Mason, q
passenger, was thrown against the big
mirror in the ladies' cabin, smashing it,
and cutting his face badly. Several

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.

Mr.. Blaine stln Gaining Nicely--Pasaed .
Good Night.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.--Mr Blaine
continues to get along quite as well as
could be expected. He passed fairly
good night, though the little excitement
which was unavoidable on account of
Christmas day naturally resulted in
more exertion than was good for him.
At the house everything was as quiet
as If the Blaine residence were out in the
suburbs of the city instead of within a
stones throw of the White House. Only
very few callers came toinquire about
Mr.. Blaine's health. The family are in
much better spirits now that Mr.. Biaino
has passed whole week without a re-
currence of the severe attack whose
renewal is dreaded.

The Government Making Extensive
Preparations to Find Ont What
the Vesavius Can DO.
She Will Fire Eightyfour shots Under
Almost All Possible Con-
ditions.
Emmensite, Thought TO BE the ExplO-
siye of the Future, to BE Used
Instead of Dynamite.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Not quite ap-
propriate to the season of ''peace and
good will' the navy department gives
most exhaustive programme for the
trial of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
and her guns. Il is the desire Of the
department ts determine once for all
just what may be expected Of this craft
in time of need. Shots will be fired at
moving and stationary targets and with
the vessel herelf moving at varying de-
grees of speed. The most interesting
feature Of the trial will be six shots,
each loaded with 500 pounds of high ex-
plosives fired at a moving target, consist
ing of condemned hulk. This, it is
supposed viii give practical illustra-
tion of the ability Of the Vesuvius to
carry out the purpose for which it was
built, namely, to sink the ship of the
enemy at the distance Of mile.
Eighty-four shots in all will be fired
sixty-six blanks and eighteen loaded
with emmensite and gun cotton.
The Explosive of the Future.
Dynamite is believed to be the high
explosive of the future. The success
which has attended experiments with
this explosive has prompted the naval
ordnance bureau to specially construct a
7-inch rapid fire gun for further expert
ments. The expectation is that with
the application of the rapid fire type of
breech mechanism now used on the 5
and inch rapid FIRE guns to this new
weapon it will be entirely safe and prac-
ticable to fire four or five rounds per
minute with shells loaded with from
fifty to sixty pounds of emmensite.
1t is expected, too, that with the use
of smokeless powder as the propelling
force the shells fired from this weapon
will be given velocity of 1850 per sec
ond, thus affording the highest degree of
penetration expected of unloaded shells
fired from the best high power guns. If
these shells burst detonatiyely at will,
as claimed, few minutes fire at the
rapid rate estimated would mean de-
struction to any unarmored ship or to
any armored craft whose vitals are not
covered by more than six inches of steel.
The new gun will be 20 calibres long,
or Just half the length of the latest type
of 6-inch guns built by the naval ord
nance bureau. Nickel steel will be
used, and its construction will be prac-
tically the same as that proposed for the
new 9 inch weapon Of special design,
which is to be assembled by means
proposed by William Sellers, of Phila-
delphia. It will have only three princi-
pal parts, tube, an inner jacket and an
outer jacket.
The high explosive shells viii be put
up in metallic cases. in the same manner
as the fixed ammunition used in all
other rapid FIRE gums.

A Big Real Estate aud Insurance Firm
ut Minneapolis Goes to the

The Liabilities Amount to4a Million,

The Disaster Caused by Speculation I'm
Wheat by n Member OF the
Firm.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 27.--The failure
OF the old real estate and insurance firm
of E. s. Corser Sc Co. is announced.
The liabilities will reach million dol
lars, but it is thought the assets will
more than cover all obligations The
cause of the failure was not real estate
speculation but speculation In wheat.
f. s. Corser, head of the firm, has a
large farm in the River valley and
raises considerable grain and in connec-
tion with handling his own product has
gone extensively into wheat speculation,
and is is said upon reliable authority
that he has lost $25y,000 in wheat dur.

Of geese, whose intractable nature is so

all been done, and done remark
ably well, too; and besides
these animals, strange to say,
monkeys, horses, ponies, bears,
hyenaS, panthers, leopards, tigers, lions,
wolves, camels. giraffes and zebras have
been so well instructed that one would
think they were all endowed with hu-
man reason. Some of the tricks these
animals execute border on the miratx,-
louS. others again appear amazing, whlie
some are the most laughable ever seen.
Elephants have been taught to go
through all the intricate figures of a
quadrille by the trainer calling out the
name of each figure. 1t is one of the
most astonishing displays of trained
animals ever exhibited, astonishing, be-
cause, aside from the fact that there are
so many of them, they are all trained to
execute such wonderfully difficult tricks
and feats; and still more SO, because
hitherto most of these creatures have
been considered untamable aud some o f
them intractable. Nothing, however,
in this line. is impossible with Barnum

NAME 4 DEMOCRAT.
A Correspondents Reasons for
Opposing Any Endorsement Of
Judge Cornish,

Opposing Any Endorsement of
Judge Cornish.
To the Editor of the Globe.
A petition is being circulated, and
has been sigded by number of Demo
Gratis, indorsing Judge Cornish for dis
trict judge, for the purpose of prevent
ing the nomination of Democrat to
run against him at the fall election.
Will you not call the attention of the
Democrats of this county to the eircum-
stances attending the appointment of
Judge Cornish to the bench?
For many years prior to 1891 this
county was and in my opinion
still is = Democratic by safe
majority. 1t had been the custom dur
an equal number of judges of the dis
trict court. On the death of Judge
Simons vacancy was left OH the Demo
cratic side; that is, of the five remaining
judges three were Republicans Drill,
Kelly and Kerr, and two were Demo
Gratis (Otis and Egan). Such being the
case, it was assumed by everybody, eX-
cepr Gov. Merriam and a few of his
greedy advisers, that Democrat would
be appointed, and the equilibrium, so to
speak, be maintained.
The Democrats sent up number of
names for the governors consideration,
and, after dallying with the appoint
ment for several weeks, and thereby
accomplishing an Interior purpose, he
refused, without explanation, to appoint
publican friend, w. d. Cornish.
1t is not necessary to pass upon the fit
ness of Judge Cornish in considering this
matter. The Democrats. no matter how
much they admire him, will prove them
selves weak and spiritless aggregation
and worthy Of no better treatment if
they do not resent it at the first oppor-
tunity.
At the time the appointment was
made the Democrats expressed surprise,
and suggested that it would take 1.-THE
judiciary into politics." to which the
advisers of Gov. Merriam responded
that they didn't care if it did.
have no doubt that this action had
much to do with the nomination of
Democrats to succeed Judges Dickin-
bench, aud, although l should have been
in favor of going on with the old plan
for any length of time, say now, since
the challenge has been given, let's ac-
cept it. Beware of entrance to a
quarrel. but, being in, bear il that the
Opposer may beware of thee" There
is no reason why Ramsey and Hennepin
counties need have any Republican
judges after two or three more cleo
tons, and the fearless and independent
spirit which characterizes the Demo
cratic lawyers is sufficient guarantee
to the public that the quality of the
bench will be constantly improved as
the changes go on. PoLoNIUs.

ton of reduction in this department..
The salaries of the employees in the
building inspectors Office were not, so
the committee said, in such.shape that
they could be reached, but Mr.. ReardOn
thought several at the inspectors were a
useless expense.
The committee skipped from one de-
partment to another, Mr.. Reardon keep
ing up running fire as to the qualifica-
tons of each of the employees whose
names were mentioned. 1t being by this
time 6 O'Clock, the committee adjourned
to Saturday at 9 O'Clock, when report
will be formulated.
One of the members said last night
that while the total reduction recon-
mended would not be great. the moral
effect would be immense. The trouble
was that the charter had fixed the ma
jority of salaries so the committee could
not reach them. The heads of the sew
eral departments had promised to make
reductions in expenses whenever they
could, and the committee would recon-
mend that this be given attention in the
future, especially about the time the.
legislature was in session.
