WAR SHIPS CAN'T GET OUT
Of New York Harbor at Ebb Tide
Without Grounding.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The naval au-
thorities have learned to their dIsmay,
that it is not possible for one of our big
battleships, like the Oregon or the
Massachusetts, to get out of New York
harbor during extra low water, such
as prevailed when the latter battleship
struck on Diamond reef a short time
ago. To aid the court of inquiry now
In session at New York trying to/ascer-
tain the responsibility for the ground
ing, the navy department called upon
the coast survey for special measure
Tnents of the water in the harbor near
Diamond reef and upon the rock itself.
The report of the superintendent Of the
survey has just been received and it
shows, in the opinion of the naval Of
ficers, that it is not possible for a ship
of the size Of the Massachusetts, and
with her maneuVering qualities, to get
out of the harbOr without touching the
bottom when the tide is ebb and the
wind strong. The ship must pass on
the Brooklyn shore of Coenties reef and
then cross over to the channel between
Diamond reef and the New York shore.
The turn is too short for the Massa-
to be found in the best course she could
pick on the day she touched, was one
foot and four inches less than the
draught of the ship as she started,
namely, &c feet 2 inches OF course these
conditions are not normal in the harbor,
but they may occur on any low tide with
the wind in a certain quarter, so the
matter will be brought at once to the
attention of congress- with view to
securing the removal of the upper part
of Diamond reef.

Big Bond Case to Come Up in Barber
County.

Medicine Lodge. Dec. 23.-Judge Nc
Kay, of the Twenty-fourth judicial dis
trict of Kansas, will Convene his last
term of court at Medicine Lodge in a
few days.
Bentley & Hatfield, of Wichita are
preparing to apply to him for a dissO-
lution of the injunction order, hereto
fore granted in the case of KiOWa
township, brought on the relation OF
Judge Ellis, county attorney of that
county, against the county treasurer
of Barber. Long & Noble, with Judge
Ellis, county attorney, Will appear for
the township and for the county treas
urer, while Bentley & Hatfield appear
for the bondholders. The suit involves
an issue of bonds, in amount $4,000,
voted in aid of the Missouri Pacific
railway, the KiOWa branch of the same,
which extends from Wichita to Kiowa.
A year or two ago the township took
counsel and refused to pay interest on
this issue of bonds and brought injunc-
ton proceedings in the district court of
Barber county, restraining county
treasurer from paying semi annual in
terest. This has been pending for some
time, but counsel will now ask to have
injunction dismissed and the order
-ahrogated. The case lately passed on
by Judge Mckay relating to Medicine
Lodge township is deemed a precedent
by counsel for asking the discharge of
the injunction in the present case.

A STUPENDOUS TRUST
Fastens Itself Upon Pittsburg and
Allegheny.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 22.-The gigantic
consolidation of the local gas light and
heating companies was consummated to-
day. The capital invested exceeds s26,-
100000.
An idea of the incorpora ton of the COM
bine will be appreciated when it is stated
one company will in the future control
the gas light and heating supply of Tits
burg and Allegheny and will have abso-
Lutte power to make raise or lower the
price to all consumers. The deal has
been pending for some time. Those said
to be principally interested are:
Senators Magee and Flynn, Judge J. H.
Reed, John r. Mckinley, NJ. K. Mullin,
George Westinghouse of Pittsburg, and
Brown Brothers of New York.
1t is stated the trust will operate under
the omnibus charter of 1.-The Philadelphia
Company" and in That name. This char
ter embraces nearly every concession
within the scope of human ingenuity, and
is in fact carte blanche.
When the details of the combina ton
have been further perfected. it is said that
the philadelphia company will issue prob
ably $40, 100000 debenture bonds but this
has not been positively determined as yet.

He Has a aood Memory.


There is a man in the employ of the
Missouri Pacific railway running into
CoffeyvilIe who can remember correctly
the numbers and initials of a hundred
fifty different cars and on the next day
a similar number; on the day following
this young man if asked could give you
correctly the number of each car and
the road the car belonged to. When
you stop to consider the remarkable
feat and take into consideration that
each car may have six figures to its
number the feat is remarkable and this
IS done ordinarily without any effort
upon his part. He has been tested time
and again when least suspecting that
a test of his memory was to be made.
The young man is well known in COffey-
vile. His name is G. w. Chadburne
ard lie is a brakeman and extra con-
ductor between this city and Conway

Escape From the Rescue Home at
Wichita-Were Very Forward.

Arkansas City, Dec. 23-Wednesday
night two girls were put off of the south
bound passenger train at this place
because they were unable to pay their
fares.
The girls names are Lettie Pierson
and Gertie Nye. aged 16 and Is years.
They were formerly inmates Of the
Rescue Home in Wichita Gertie Nye
had been at the home some time but
Lettie Pierson had only been there one
day when she persuaded the other girl
to run away.
The only reason they gave for leaving
the home was the poor food which they
claim they had to eat.
They said their parents lived in the
Strip and that they were cousins. They
said they intended to go home. The
Person girl claims her folks live near
Perry and the Nye girl says her folks
live south of Saltwater. The names
they gave the reporter were fictitious.
The girls are inclined to be rather tough
and some of the talk they INDUCED in
this morning in the waiting room Will

New York, Dec. pa Herald special

All danger of further friction between

Your correspondent is in a position

for the abrogation of the convention re-
ferred to and the preparation of new

1t is the understanding of those who
are aware of the change in the attitude
of the British government that Lord
Salisbury will suggest through Sir JUL
