Mexico, and that she gave no evidence
nor any indication whatever OF being

tanning eight-inoh guns, which Is the
plan of the construction bureau.
1t was clsimed by the chief of the
ordnance bureau that the eight inch
guns would be rendered useless in an
engagement In which the vessel had
her bow or stern toward the enemy,
because II fred over the turret contains
Ing the large guns the blast from the
rear guns would kill the men in the

The muzzle OF the gun was twenty
four inches above the plate, and the

inches on one end and nine inches on
the other. This plate was about FIVE

were equal to those that could be placed

TO STEAL THE GOLD BASE.
DARING ATTEMPT OF THIEVES
DISCOVERED IN TIME AT
KANSAS CITY.
OF THE COLUMBIAN EX-
POSITION.

KANSAS CITY, March 13.-What was
doubtless an attempt to steal the $225, 900
gold base of the famous Montana silver
statue exhibited at the Worlds Fair, was
frustrated here tonight. The statue is on
exhibition in the dry goods store of local
firm and has attracted thousands of sight
seers. 1t rests in plain sight of the street
and is easy of access.
Late tonight two men, who it developed
later had hidden themselves in the store
when it closed this evening, got so far as
to wrench an iron bar off the door near
where the statue stood and were opening
both doors when discovered.
The men fed and were chased for several
blocks, and though fired az half dozen
times escaped.
They left tools of various descriptions
which would have been necessary to re-
move the statue, showing their intentions,
and tracks in the alley near by where a
rear door had been opened indicated they
had confederates. The statue was that for
which Ada Rehan posed as model.
