SMALLER RIFLES FOR THE NAVY
The 13-Inch Guns Are to Be Replaced
by Improved 12-Inch Weapons

WASHINGTON.-The ordnance officers
of the navy have insisted for years that the
present standard naval gun, however ef-
fective 1t may be, can be greatly improved
The time to do this has not been opportune
however, nor was there money available
to make the change. The navy department
has placed orders for forgings for naval
rifles OF caibers Of from four to twelve
inch to supply the new battleships and in
a short time the navy yard factory will be-
gin to turn out ordinances embodying rad
ical changes in construction and much
more powerful than guns of the same cal
iber now afloat on our ships.
The new twelve-inch gun will be as eff
fective as the present thirteen-inch gun
in range and striking force. This is
achieved at the expense of weight but
the difference is still In favor of the new
design. For instance, the present twelve
inch gun weighs forty-six tons, against
hfty-two tons for the new gun. But this
gun takes the place of a thirteen-inch gun,
which weighs sixty-one tons, so that a
considerable saving is effected. About the
same ratio OF gain is secured In all the
lesser calibers. The new gun will send its
project.les at the enormous velocity of 5000
feet per second, which Is about 60 per cent
greater than the velocity of the present
thirteen-inch shell.

PARTY of the Common People

After accepting the nomination for gov
ernor of Michigan, Governor P!ngree SOL
EMMY announced that the Republican
party is the party of the common people.
According to the census of 1880, the high
tariff of the Republican party in about
twenty eight years distributed the wealth
# the country per family substantially
this way: To $4,000 families, s2400 900 per
family, and to 1900 900 families, $500 per
family. That is to say, the Republican
party had ma naged to give two-thrds Of
the entire wealth of the country to frac-
ton over l per cent of the families, and
one-third to a fraction less than 80 per
cent of the familes.-Kansas City Times.

Changes on the Ticket
A meeting of the Peoples party county
central committee was held yesterday
morning at the committees rooms In the

transacted, most of it being of routine
character.
The campaign committee received word
that w. II. Goodrich, nominee for county
auditor, was unable TO run. Clarence II.
Lee was named in his stead. Mr.. Lee is
city clerk of Pomona, is said 10 be an eN-
pert accountant and man of pleasing ad-
dress. The nomination was at once con-
firmed blythe campaign committees of the
Democrats and Silver Republicans.
The Silver Republicans reported that Col.
Moses Wiley and ]. w. Hudson, nominees
for the Seventeen assembly and Thir y
eighth senatorial districts, respectively, had
declined to run, and that Charles F. Edison
and J. o. Blakeley had been chosen 10
take their places. The committee COM
firmed the selections, as did the Democrats.
Mr.. Edison is well known resident of the
Antelope valley country. His wide ac-
Quaintance all throughout the district and

Spanish In Porto Rico Losing Heart.


Z. c. Hanna, u. S. consul at San
Juan, who is with Gen. Miles, has re-
ceived dispatch from a Spanish Off
cial in the northern part of the island
saying: Resistance is impossible. The
volunteers have refused to march, and
we have no ammunition. Mr.. Hanna
declined to give the name of his in
formant, but it is known that he has ex-
cellent sources of information. He has
all along insisted that the native Porto
Ricans were eager for a change from
Spanish to American rule and that the
only danger in the island was from the
Spanish regulars under the direct com
mand of the captain-general. Mr..
Hanna is busy assisting to adjust local
conditions at Ponce to the new
state of affairs. Tie is endeavoring to
open U. s. postoffices in all the impor-
tant centers of the occupied territory,
and he has frequent interviews with
merchants and bankers on the question
of the money premium-an awkward
question that is giving the American
and local financiers much trouble. The
merchants proposed to Mr.. Hanna to
agree to pay premium of 100 on Y. S.
gold provided import duties on goods
from the United States are removed
They also offered to buy everything
from the United States.
