Do you take "a space-the only one

There's nothing doubtful about it

that it is generally given less atten-

RIFLE Is NOT HUMANE.
Interesting Results of II Military Test
ut Fort Riley.

Fort Riley, Kas., June 2l.-An Official
test of the new military rifle, the Krag-
Jorgensen, was made ut this post yesterday
under the direction of DIR. j. G. Griffith
of Kansas City. member of tie United
States Association of Military Surg, o1s
and chairman OF the committee on test
ing new guns. aided by dozen assistants.
The object of the test was to find out
the relative effects of the use of the Krag-
Jorgcnsen gun from a humane point of
view. as compared with other army rifles.
This test has demonstrated to the minds
of these who participated that the Krag-
Jorgcnsen gun cannot he called a humane
gun. At distances up to 200 yards the
explosive quality OF the Krag.Jurgensen
bullets. and consequently the cruelty of
its use, is terrific.
The explosive quality is most marked iB
soft tissues and cavities, the brain and lung
tissues heiDG terribly torn and the heart
burst. When viscera are grazed by a bull

one wounded, probably.

effective work the shell should burst thirty
or forty yards in front of the object aimed
at. Some very effective wounds were OBJ

FORAKER ON THE PLANK.
Defends the Action of the st. LOui
Convention Oh the Money Question.

Defends the Action of the st. Louis
Convention Oh the Money Question.
Cincinnatti, o., June 81. AT the McKin.
ley and Hobart ratification meeting at
Music Hall last night, Senator-elect Fora
ker had this to say of the money plank
adopted at st. Louis:
..The declaration of the Republican party
asembodied in its plank at St. Louis defines
exactly what has been the position OF the
Republican party through all these years
with respect TO this silver question. Sill
yer was deinonetized in 1876 and ever
since that we have been on n single gold
standard basis.
About the same time several OF the
leading pations OF Europe demonetized
silver, and ever since then an effort has
been made to get back to bimetallism.
We have had, in that behalf, three inter
national monetary conferences, the object
OF them being to agree with other nations
upon an International ratio, according to
which we could have the free coinage OF
silver. But all OF these efforts have failed.
II has been constantly and repeatedly de-
clared by both parties that binSetallisin
was desirable in preference to gold or
silver monOmetallisIn.
''Fcur years ago. when we held the
convention at Minneapolis. it was my
fortune to be chairman OF the Committee
on resolutions, as il WIS at the st. Louis
convention. and il was my fortune to be
associated on that committee with Senator
Teller He and his assC tiates from the
silver States came to that convention and
came before that committee, asking us TO
insert a plank piedging the Republican
party to the free coinage of silver We
refused to do so.
They accepted the result and remained
in the Republican party. When Senator
Teller and his associates bolted the party
at the ST. Louis convention they had no
cause forit whatever tbatdid not exist lour
years before ut the Minneapolis con invention,
and when the Republican party made the
declaration it made at st. Louis it did
not chang its position one particle, but
simply made it absolutely certain, in order
that there could be settlement of The
question.
"Free and independent and unlimited coin
age of silver is u proposition that we will
not entertain We will not entertain 1t he
cause in our Judgment it does not, as Sem
ator Teller and his associates claim, mean
bimetallsm, but simply silver mono
metallism."

The greater part OF the time of the
meeting OF Columbia Typographical Union
held yesterday afternoon, was taken ur
with the nomination OF candidates for the
several executive offices OF the union
and delegates to the international con
vention which will meet at Colorado
Springs in October
Unusual interest seems to have centered
in the selection OF four delegates to the
convention, and despite the very oppressive
weather the hall was crowded to over
iiowing with the frfends OF the varioui
candidates.
These made themselves very much In
evidence when their especial favorites
were placed in Nomination, and that they
did not raise the roof is owing altogether
that this exploded enthusasm escaped
through the open windows.
President Tracy was in the chair, and
taking in the situation, lie permitted no
waste OF time, and dispatched business
with q rush.
NOMINATED IN SPEECHES. :
After the routine business, nominations
for the office Of president and other
executive offices were called for, and to
prevent any lengthy display Of ora:orical
pyrotechnics, motion to limit nominating
speeches to two minutes and seconds
to one minute was carried with q wliOop.
The greatest interest naturally centered
in the nominations for the offic eof president.
For this office there were five candidates
placed in nomination.: Messrs. Robert B.
Smythe, j. d. Kehoe, A. y. Arnold, T. A.
Bynum and Charles E. Miller. As each was
put in nomination the friends cheered
loudly. and by this the strength OF the
nominees could, in III easure, be estimated,
atieast so far us the meeting was concerned.
From the applause accorded the nominees,
IT would appear that Messrs Smythe and
Bynum had decidedly the best OF 1t.
For vice president there were but two
candidates put forth, Messrs. j. Monroe
Kreiter, of The Times chapel, and Robert
names OF both these candidates were well
received, the applause being pretty evenly
divided between them.

The Weather Bureau and popular opinion
were at odds yesterday. The thermometers
up at the station said it was not SO very
hot, while the persparing public laid odds
that it had about reached the top notch
for the summer of 1896.
The meteorological experts will not say
that the hot wave is broken. The first
wave from st. Louis has passed nearly
over and relief Is promised for today.
Where the other sizzling, scorching waves
will come from is not stated but others can
be looked for. The promised relief will
not arrive until this afternoon. Thunder
showers have been lowering near. Rain has
fallen in several OF the Eastern States

for this afternoon. <sia7

BELMONT TALKS ABOUT 1T.
Hopes That the Gold Plank VIII BE
Properly Construed by Mckinley.

Properly Construed by Mckinley.
Paris, June 21.-In the course of an inter
view today with representative OF the
United Press, the Hon. Perry Belmont made
the following remarks regarding the gold
plank adopted by the st. Louis Republican
convention:
'If the Republican platform adopted
at st. Louis shall be interpreted By Mr..
Mckinley and the Republican party as a
mandate TO obey the coinage law OF 1 S73
and coin no more silver dollars until inter
national free binetaliic coinage ON
fixed ratio may have come, and ir il is
intended to resolutely enforce the mandate
by diplomacy and legislation and ac-
complish international bimetalisni the
work done at st. Louis will be bene-
ficial, but the contrary will happen il the
platform shall be interpreted as permit
ting or encouraging the renewal Of Treas-
ury silver purchasing and the coinage IN
government account OF more fifty-ceDt
silver dollars on the theory of the re-
pudiated Sherman law of 1890.
1T is true" Mr.. Belmont added, that
Congress, led by Senator Sherman, did, in
1875, make, as the platform declares, a
law providing for the resumption of specie
payment, and since then every dollar has
been as good as gold; but it is also true that
the underlying theory OF that la W was pay
ment in gold dollars and the extinction in
1879 OF all the greenbacks."
