Mr.. Shelton, and his wound was INFLICTED
between that time and the time he ap-
peared at Sergt. Wnght's house, three
hours later. That he was sober no one
questions, and It Is not thought by his
friends that he had fallen and cut his face.
II such had been the case his umbrella
would probably have been found on the
street where he dropped 1t. After leaving
Sergt Wrights house it is believed he
must have gone almost directly TO the tun-
nal When he reached there he was seen
by the track walker, as the latter told the
coroners jury yesterday, but the witness
did not see any, blood on his face, What
his friends are anxious to ascertain now is
how he received the injury to his face and
what became of his umbrella. It was also
stated today that he had been pursued by
some men who had come from an alley,
but nobody who had actual knowledge Of
such an affair could be found. The affair
is being further Investigated by friends Of
the dead man.

She also said he was very gentlemanly,

Mr.. Shelton finally walked as far as the

BELMONTS OFFER.
Would Loan Torpedo Boat to the Gov
 ernment and Command It.

Would Loan Torpedo Boat to the Gov
 ernment and Command It.
 Washington, May 11.-Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont of New York has offered to lend the government dynamite tor pedo boat, provided he be permitted to command 1t, during the war with Spain. His proposition was carefully considered this afternoon by the naval board on construction, and as a result a letter was submitted to Secretary Long sug- gesting that the offer was patriotic and should be accepted. The secretary's de- cision will be announced within the next few days.
 If the secretary accepts MT. Belmonts proposition, work will at once commence on the proposed boat at the Crescent shipbuilding yard. at Elizabethport, N. J. MT. Nixon, representing the Crescent Shipbuilding company, explained MT. Belmont's ideas to the construction board. The boat will be very similar to the Rodgers, now on blockade duty in Cuban waters. It will have a dis placement of 150 tons. will be about 160 feet in length and 16 feet beam, and will have a draft of 5 feet. Its armament will consist of dynamite guns, built un- der plans prepared by Mir. Nixon.
 These guns will be able to fire large shells loaded with high explosives, and it is declared that no danger will be ex- perienced. Small charges of powder will be employed, so arranged as to burn slowly when first discharged and to gradually quicken its consumption in order to generate a large body of gas without shock to the explosive in the projectile. It is appreciated that con- siderable elevation will have to be given the guns in order that they may fire a satisfactory distance.
 MT. Belmont's proposed boat will be fast, her speed being 26 knots an hour This is better than the Rodgers can do. MT. Belmont desires to command her, but he will expect the navy to place on board a regular bluejacket crew and an executive officer. who will be an officer of the service. He believes that the boat will be useful either against shore batteries or against armored ships.
 It is estimated by department officials that the cost of such boat as Mir. Bel mont proposes to construct will be in the neighbarhood of s100 900. His propo- sition specially states that he does not intend to give the vessel to the govern ment. but will lend it during the exist ence of war between the United States and Spain.
 MT. Belmont graduated from Annapo- lis in 1880, and subsequently, served two years in the navy, resigning upon be- coming an ensign. Had he remained in the service, he would now be a lieuten- ant He has always kept in touch with nautical affairs and is we'll up in all technical matters.

colorado,s Mineral Collection.

During the past two years, with an appropriation of. but $15, 900 for the necessary expenses, there has been col lected, classified and arranged in the basement of the state capitol collec- ton of minerals which is far in advance of any similar collection in tho mining states of the country and is in many re- spects superior to the best collections of the older universities of the country and in some of its special features has no superior in the world. Not long since a professor in tho meteorological depart ment of Yale college spent eight hours per day for three weeks in studying the collection and said that he had never seen its equal. An attaohe of the Brit ish museum, who visited Denver few weeks ago, said there were specimens in the collection which could not Do dupli cated in any museum in Christendom, and for one of the specimens he offered el, 200, frankly stating that 1t was the finest of the kind in existence. -Denvss Republican.
