THE DYNAMITE CRUISER.
A Most Exhaustive Programme Ar
ranged for Her Trial.
There VIII Be Six Shots, Each Loaded
With Five Hundred Pounds
of High Explosives.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Not quite ap-
propriate to the season of ''peace and good
will'' the navy department gives out the
statement that it has mapped out most
exhaustive programme for the trial OF the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and her guns.
1t is the desire of the department to de-
termine once for all just what may be
expected OF this craft in time of need.
Shots will be fired at moving and station
airy targets and with the vessel moving at
varying degrees of speed.
The most interesting feature of the trial
will be six shots, each loaded with 500
pounds CT high explosives, the first at a
moving target, consisting of condemned
hulk. This, it is supposed, will give
practical illustration of the vessel to
carry out the purpose for which it was
built, to sink the ship of an enemy at the
distance of mile. Forty eight shots in
all will be fired, sixty-six blank, the
others loaded with gun cotton.

near Newton yesterday, but got them out
last night. Today the same road had
four trains in drift between Dodge City
and Cameron. The company has two

| SYRACUSE, N. Y. Dec. 26.-Corbett is
in this city. The Sullivan interview made
him boiling mad. He said: ''Say Tor me
that if he thinks he can lick me why the
devil don't he fight. I will fight him for

''Send word to Sullivan that say that
can lick him in four rounds. He is very
lucky that I did not knock him out
quicker than I did. It is fact that when
spared the man at his benefit he sent
no less than five men to me asking me If
would go light with him. Up to the
present time I have had nothing but kind
words for him. Now must say that he's
acting like big loafer and is playing the
baby act. ~

interviews. Sullivan is now fighting
with his mouth, and that is about all he
will do. l say now without swearing by
my mothers hair, that Sullivan will
never be champion as long as am able to
walk, and i m done saying pretty things
about him.
"As far as his being drugged is concerned
l don't believe it, but that talk is all well
enough to create sympathy. why, that
man simply mesmerized the people of this

thought he was great fellow. If had

''Please convey my compliments to Mr..
Sullivan and tell him that I saw I am
willing to fight him in October. I want
to convince him once and for all that he
is no longer champion, and is not going
to be. If he wants to fight, now is the
time to sign the papers and make ar
engagements. If he does not mean to
fight, then, he will please shut his mouth
and retire to his proper place."

SULLIVAN IN a RAGE.
He Gets Very Drunk and Threatens to
Kill His Friends.

XIII His Friends.
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Jim Corbett' S
angry reply to John L. Sullivan's allega-
tons that he had been drugged and doped
in New Orleans when he fought the Cali
fornian has apparently aroused the ire of
Sullivan, and in consequence the latter
has been imbibing in drink at dire rate
to sooth his anger all day. The ex-
champion Immediately aft9f leaving his
bedroom in the Vanderbilt hotel late this
morning proceeded to the bar room on
the ground floor and made the bar tender
mix him up all sorts of fancy drinks. 1t
was plainly evident to the proprietor,
Matt Clune, that Sullivan was laying the
foundation for another of his famous
ssjags,'' and he anticipated trouble. He
endeavored to persuade the great modern
Hercules to disist and return to his room,
but in every effort he was net with
vicious rebuke.
Sullivan kept drinking until late in the
afternoon, when he had accomplished his
craving desire to get ''good and full. -
He was then in genuine fighting humor.
Jack Ashton, his sparring partner and
friend, was called in to try to subdue the
met with curses, and in quicker time
than it takes to tell, Ashton made HIM
self scarce, as likewise did other occu-
pants of the room. 'sI'll kill you if you
come near me- - he said in a storm of
rage, and then began to sob and cry over
his crushing defeat.
He continued: HCorbett licked me
when was physically a wreck and the
shadow of John L. Sullivan Of six years
ago. have been wronged and treated
dirty because my good nature permitted
it. Give me another chance. Give me
another chance and I'll show the world
what can do.' Then he sank back in a
chair and cried like a child. Finally, he
grew iquieter and permitted Ashton to
take him to his room.
Opinion is expressed among sporting
people here that the hacker he accused in
Yesterdays interview as dragging him
and then betting on Corbett is Jimmy
Wakely, but there's no evidence which
warrants such statement. Wakely when
seen tonight concerning Sullivan Is state
ment, and the reflection it casts on him,
was yery indignant. "Sullivan is going
crazy, - said he, 'for am sure that if
his mind were not weak he could never
make such awful remarks. Heaven be
my Judge, never injured that man in my
lif e, but instead ] treated him like a
brother. Drink has been the cause of his
ruin, and nothing else.
Johnston and | during the days of his
training on Long Island watched him
like mother would a child to keep him
away from drinking, but despite our
watchfulness, he stoe beer and sneaked
it to his room. That is the cause of his
defeat and not morphine, which he says
was put in his food. -
Charley Johnson, his other hacker, was
in an angry mood and refused to talk.
The opinion prevails here that Sullivan 8

Probably Entirely Due to Spite and to
Bring Discredit on Morley.
DUBLIN, Dec. 26.-Chief Secretary Nor
ley, accompanied by McDermott, attor-
ney general, and Solicitor General Hem
pell, visited the spot where the explosion
occurred and made a careful investiga-
ton. Pending their arrival Colonel Ma
jendie, chief inspector of explosives. had
lett the scene of the wreck untouched.
There is scarcely a doubt, save in the
minds of the tories, that the whole affair
is due to personal spite or perhaps a de-
sire to bring discredit on Chief Secretary
Morley's administration. The place was
visited by thousands today.
To prevent intrusion on the scene, the
police put up chain across Exchange
Court and strong force stood outside the
chain to restrain the great throIg from
pressing over or under. Extra police and
military patrols were detailed to guard
the most public buildings and no one
was allowed to loiuer in the vicinity.
