OBJECTIONS SUMMARIZED.

OBJECTIONS SUMMARIZED.
"The main objections which tho de-
partmcnt raises against hard coal have
been briefly summarized, as follows:
Il. The slower rate of combustion OF
anthracite coal with natural draft, thus
involving greater weight and space for
boilers to give the same power.
'2. Practical impossibility of procur-
ing anthracite except on our own At
lantic coast so that bituminous coal
would have to be used elsewhere.
SO. Greater length of time required to
change the condition OF the fire from
slow to rapid production of steam with
anthracite than with bituminous coal.
1.-The first and third objections are
largely based on theory, since there have
not been sufficient tests to prove them.
The second objection is good, and is also
decided point in favor of anthracite.
1t might be found too costly to transport
hard coal to our coaling stations in the
Pacific, though II this were done the
coal would keep indefinitely, and be of
little value to ships of other nations un-
accustomed to burning it. But in opera
tions along the Atlantic seaboard our
vessels would have smoke fuel
which others could not secure, and
would, in this, have as decided an ad-
vantage as when one side used a smoke
less powder.
"There is the best Of ground, both in
theory and from the practical experience
of those who have used both fuels, for
asserting that, with CRATES properly ar
ranged to secure the best results from
anthracite, and experience in burning
1t, even more satisfactory results can be
obtained than with the soft coal which
is now used.
ADVANTAGES OF sMoKELEss COAL.
"1t is open to question whether the
slower rate of combustion in anthracite
would necessitate a larger boiler More
CRATE surface would undoubtedly be
necessary, as also that, in some boilers
there should be less space between the
CRATE and boiler, bnt it should be remem-
bered that this very condition, while not
essential with selected soft Goals, would
prove highly advantageous when using
the poorer grades of that fuel.
SIN scouting duty and in battle, a
smokeless fuel must have important ad-
vantages over one which produces large
volumes OF black smoke. Otherwise
why is smokeless powder so important
and why are the iire-room forces on naval
vessels trained to use every precaution
against the excessive production of
smoke? And again, is fuel not worth
considering which absolutely avoids one
of the great internal dangers on board
men f-war-spontaneou combustion?
In the recent naval maneuvers this has
been constant source OF worry and
watchfulness. In view of its own small
experience with the fuel and the mani
fest advantages which it eifers, it would
seem highly desirable the navy depart
ment would, for it's own information, in
stitute series of tests of the various
kinds of anthracite, with a view to set
ting beyond dispute the question of it's
value in naval operations"

HARDCOALON WARSHIPS.
ANTHRACITE OPERATORS CALL FOR
TESTS BY THE NAVY.


|
The Anthracite Coal Operators Asso-
citation, in the advance proofs of its
August letter, presents some strong
arguments why the navy department, in
view of the building of new battleships
and cruisers, should make some thorough
and exhaustive tests of anthracite coal
with view to its use as fuel on these
vessels. 1t is cOntended that no such
| thorough tests have been made, and of
the numerous tests reported by the bu-
reau of equipment to have been made
with bituminous coal from 1893 to 1896
there was but one test of foreign anthra-
cite and two OF Pennsylvania anthra-
cite; and that such anthracite as has
been used was burned by men wholly
unaccustomed to its use, and in CRATES
designed especially for soft coal.
'As matter of fact" says the letter,
''tho United States ship All anita made

Jimmy Trimble and Billy Gallagher are to
fight fifteen rounds The meu met some
time ago, and the bout resulted in draw.
Trimble, although comparatively novice,
showed himself to be possessed of the max
ing of fighter, and with his former expe-
rience with Gallagher will probably 60 in
and make hot fight.
Hank Griffin and Bob Jones, heavy
weights, have been matched for fifteen
round go the latter part of next month,
and it is intended to match Jack Stelzner,
the heavyweight, with the winner of that
contest. Griffin is lean, lenk man, very
much after the appearance of Fitzsimmons
He is very quick and can punch an awful
blow. Jones has won several fights in this
city and is thought by some to be a very
promising heavyweight.
Much has been written about the famous
solar plexus blow with which Fitzsimmons
settled the able Jeems Corbett last year
DR.. Scott +. Parsons Of St. Louis recently
read a paper before a medical society in
that place in which he dwelt upon the ef
fects of tho blow. His remarks in part fol
low:
"1n the case of James j. Corbett, who
was silenced by blow from Fitzsimmons
the pain-the tortures of hcll-suffered in
those brief ten seconds was beyond mortal
conception. He was as near the portals Of
death as he will ever reach until he accepts
his passport. His life verify hung on a
silken thread over the abyss of eternity; yet
in fifteen seconds, he was alive, master OF
his faculties and possessed of the strength
of an OK.
"The public has failed to realize this
point, which is applicable to any blow de-
livered over the stomach. Every nerve OF
the human system centers either directly
or indirectly in the solar plexus. And it i.
most remarkable that injuries to this pair
of the body may be received and leave alb
solutely no continued after effects, while
injuries to organs and any other part of the
body will develop possibly serious after
effects. Therefore, Corbett received injuries
at the hands of HIS opponent only of fifteen
seconds duration, and is today as good q
physical specimen as he was before the Car
son City fight all other reports to the con
trary"

THE FIELD TRIALS

Some OF the dog owners who have entries
in the field trials have been meeting with
poor luck, and the loss by death of several
animals has been reported. Regarding the
trials, the San Francisco Examiner has the
following to say:
For the all-age stake the prospects are not
SO bright. Several dogs that came promi-
nently to the front last season are this year
out OF the race. Dash Antonio is on the
eastern circuit, and Peach Mark, the winner
OF the all-age, has been disposed of to W. w.
Van Ardsdale of Siskiyou county, who is
using her for his own private shooting, and
she will probably not be seen in public again.
Some of the best dogs attached to the
Verona kennels will not be seen this year,
although it is possible that one or two en-
tries will be made in some of the events.
Valiente, the well known field trial win
ner, the property Of John H. Schumacher of
Los Angeles, is not in the best condition, and
may not run. 1t Is rumored, however, that
some crackajacks will be entered for the all
age and in the members and championship
stake that have not been seen here before,
and some surprises will be srpung at Ba.
kersfield during the meeting.
w. S. Tevis has several high-class dogs
that he will enter, it is reported that he has
imported two more whose qualities are not
we'll known to the Pacific coast fanciers.
Several handsome cups and trophies will
be donated for each of the events which num-
Der four, as against two in previous years.
The addition of members and champion
ship stake has created a new interest, and
the members stake especially will give op-
portunity for bona fide owners to show what
they can do in the way Of handling their own
dogs.
In this even only the owner may run his
dog, and professional handlers are barred.

men have been training hard for weeks past,
and both are in splendid condition. They
are to be weighed at o'clock tonight, and
pounds 1t is not likely, though, that eth
er of the men will weigh so heavily, for
Thompson is down to 134 pounds and Parker
was less than 1877 pounds last Friday. Par,
ker at first thought he could not fight at
as light weight as the figure named, but
he has since learned that this was wrong
impression, for he does not feel weak at all,
from the result of weighing under l37
pounds. Both are very confident of win
ming, and whatever may be the result, they
will put up splendid fight and if either is
victorious he will have earned his battle.
Bob Thompson has completed his train
ing, which he brought to an end on Satur-
day. He will now take things easy until
he enters the ring tonight. Thompson's
trainer, Charles Alexander, says Bob is in
the pink of condition and he will have no
trouble in defeating his man. Thompson
says he never felt better in his life and feels
very confident of success. In the event Of
Thompson's success his manager, F. j. Os.
good, will get go between Bob and Spike
Sullivan before any club that will offer the
largest purse.
The interest shown in the fight is greater
than in almost any other in the history o.
the club. Seats have been sold very fast
and the indications point to one Of the larg
est crowds known to the managers of th,
fight. John Brink, the former president o.
the Athletic club, will probably be selected
as referee. The men are to fight unde
Marquis of Queensberry rules, but whether
they will hit with one hand free is to b.
determined at the ringside. Parker, it il
understood, desires that such condition
shall exist. Thompson has said nothing on
this point, but he can handle himself equal,
well in either case. As preliminaries, Ru
fus Thompson and Wick Brown, welter
weights, will GO ON for tenround fight,
and Jack Rurkhart and Young Dempsey
are to box four rounds for decision.
The next fight under the auspices of the
club will occur on December 8th, when

park the eleven of the University will line
up against the famous Indian team from
the government school at Phoenix, Ariz.
The university team will be the same one
that defeated Pomona and will put up a
better game than it did ON Thanksgiving
as the coming week will be devoted to
Strengthening the defensive work and to
improving the interference and team play.
The Indians have team that averages
l65 pounds in weight and has been playing
for two seasons. The eleven has defeated
all the teams in the territory and are lock.
ing for new fields to conquer. They will
play in Los Angeles againet U. S. c. on De
cember g. in Santa Barbara against the
Athletic club eleven on the 8th, and in Po
mona against the Pomona college team on
the 18th. The members of the team are
drawn from the White Mountain Apaches
Pimas, Maricopas, Hoopas, Coahuilas, Nav
ajos and Hualapais. Isidor Carter, Goa
hula, lS0-poynd man, is at center and is
strong, active player, who passes the ball
fast and well. His brother is the center
man on tho famous Carlisle Indian team.
The guards are Richard Duncan and James
Wood, both Maricopas. They are heavy
men ana inclined 10 DC ilttie siow, put ate
aggressive and good at breaking through the
line. Jose Manuel, a Pima, plays one tackle,
and the other is filed by Frank Rice, a
Huahpai. They are both fast and active,
strong on the defense and good ground
gamers when given the ball. The right end
is White Mountain Apache, John Burke
by name, and has played end for three sea.
sons. He runs well with the ball, using the
straight arm to a good purpose. He is a
hard low tackler and is strong at breaking
up interference. Mariana Silvas, Goa
