Charles r. Hosmer, general manager
of the Pacific Postal telegraph system,
said regarding the telegraph commu-

Meeting Asia and America via the Be

Redding, Gala, Nov. IA sensa-
tional stabbing affray took place
within the bar of the Modoc county
court room at Alturas, in which Dis
trict Attorney Raker was stabbed with

ton, in which there were mutual in
situations of immortality. In the midst
of the great disorder which prevailed
in the court room, Raler rushed at
Harris, striking out at the latter and
staggering him with a blow on the
head. Harris then lunged at Raker
five times, inflicting wound at each
thrust and cutting his mouth badly,
laying open his check and inficting a
severe scalp wound. 1t was at first

REFITTING OLD MONITORS

The reftting of the old monitors as
harbor defense vessels is suggested.
There are thirteen of these single-tur-
reted monitors on the navy list, built in
1862 and rating from 1875 to POO tons
displacement. They have single screws
operated by grasshopper engines of $40
indicated horsepower, and have a speed
of only five or seven knots per hour
They are now armed with two fifteen
inch old fashioned smooth bore guns on
each vessel, with no secondary battery,
and they are protected by five inch side
armor and ten to eleven inch armor on
the turrets. Eight of these monitors
are at League island and the rest are
scattered along the Eastern coast for
the use of the naval militia, except the
Camanche, which is now moored off
the city in San Francisco bay in charge
OF the Naval Reserve. 1t is now sug-
gested that these vessels could be made
very serviceable for harbOr defence by
removing the turrets and fitting them
each with two eight inch modern guns
mounted on disappearing carriages
operated by compressed air Their
very low freeboard would afford but a
small mark to the enemy, and their
light draft. liz to IS feet, would make
| them especially useful in shallow
waters. where the heavier ships could
| not reach them. The six double-tur-
reted monitors are now all fitted with
| modern guns, of from ten to twelve
| inch caliber.-San Francisco Chronicle
