THOSE WHO HAVE A VOTE
An Opinion on the Question by
Mr.. Trippet.
THE BONDING ELECTION
The County Attorney Holds That Only
Those May Vote Who Have Not Re-
moved From Their Registra-
ton District.

For some time past. and in fact ever
since the county commissioners de-
cided to submit to the voters OF the
county the question of bonds for the
erection of a court house, there has
been inquiry without end as to the
qualifications necessary to entltle
citizen to cast his vote on this propo-
stion. At the time that the board OF
commissioners voted upon the matter,
the STANDARD published in full the text
of the statutes governing special cleo
tions, and also the laws under which
the board acted
There seems to have been number
of people, however, who failed TO take
heed of the article, presuming, most
likely that the matter would be fully
discussed as the GATE set iof the ciec-
zion drew near. A number OF the
county officials have received letters
and verbal inquiries regarding the ell
gibility of certain persons to vote. The
Inquiries were directed in great
measure to A. NJ. Walker, chairman or
the board of county commissioners,
and that gentleman requested OF Coun-
" Attorney Trippet that he furnish an
opinion in the matter. Complying with
this request, the county attorney yes
terday addressed to the chairman the
following letter:
Anaconda, Mont, Jan. A. 1S9S.-Mr.
A. n Walker, Chairman OF the Board
of c Inty Commissioners Dear Sir
You esire to know what effect
chang of residence from one place IN
the county to another in the county
will have upon the right OF person
to vote at the special election to be
held on Jan. 20, 1888
Il answer that only those who were
registered at the last general election
are entitled to vote. Those VINO have
since changed their residence from
i their registration district VIII not be
! entitled to vote The act of 1897, SEES
sion Laws, 1897. page 119, provides that
/ a change of residence from Il district
or county will require a new registra-
/ ton There being no provision for
! registration for a special election, an
elector changing his residence from
his registration district since the last
registration will lose his vote at the
coming special election.
II might add that the attorney gen.
eral agrees with me in this Respect
fully,
wv. II. TRIPPET,
County Attorney"
Mr.. Trippet stated that the law
upon the matter is clear, and that,
Notwithstanding the opinions of some
to the contrary. those only may vote
who were registered in 1896 and who
still hold residence in the district in
which they were at that time regis
tered The special election will be
held on Tuesday. Jan. %, 10 days hence.
Copies of the official register are now
being prepared by the county clerk and
recorder and will be forwarded to the
judges of the various precincts as soon
as completed.

THE PERCENTAGE OF HITS
IN WARFARE.

4 Foreign military critics at thu
seat OF war have all spoken In higl
terms of the craftsmanship of Am
eriean gunners, and, i'm view OF thu
special training which they receiv,
ed in the months preceding the
outbreak of hostiIities and theil
subsequent practice In the frequent
bombardments of Spanish forts, II
may safely be said that the work
of our gunners in the naval battle
of Santiago represented the best
results that can be obtained with
modern high-powered rifles.
With this fact in view, and, to
the enthusiastic admirer of the
modern weapon, somewhat dis
couraging, to observe what very
small percentage Of the shots that
were fired, even on our side, hit the
mark-not more, in fact, than
about three per cent. This, APP
parently, Is the best result that can.
be expected in the heat, smoke and
confusion of an artillery duel at
sea.
Until more thorough examin-
alton OF the Spanish ships has been
made, and the full returns of am
munition expended have been pub
lished, it will be Impossible to de-
termine the exact proportion Of
hits to misses; but sufficient has
been made known by official re-
ports and the observation of trust
worthy observers ON the spot to
show that the figure we have quot
ed is not very far from the mark.
The number of shot holes count
upon the beach Immediately after
the fight was one hundred and
thirty-one, distributed as follows:
The "Oquendo," sixty-six; the 'Te-
resa," thirty-three; the "Vizcaya,"
twenty-four; and the "Christobal
Colon" eight. As the vessels were
submerged somewhat below their
normal draught, it is possible that
some hits in tho neighborhood of
the waterline could not be counted.
hits, however, are not
likely to be numerous, and if we
that about q score Of hits
were made that could not be count
cd, we get a total OF say one hum
dred and fifty for all four vessels.
The very low freeboard and shorter
length of the destroyers would
render them difficult to hit, and
they were SO speedily sunk as to be
only a comparatively short time
under fire. We will assume, how
ever, that sixty hits were made up
ON the two boats. This would
bring the total number made on
one side up to one hundred and
eighty.
AS regards the number of shells
fired, we are informed by an officer
who took part In the fight that the
total of all shells, big and little,
was six thousand. This agrees
very well with the statement in
the official report of Capt. Evans,
of the ssIowa," which credits this
ship with having fired |, ATS rounds.
Accepting the estimates Of $50 hits
and 5000 rounds as correct, we find
that the proportion Of hits was only
three per cent.
The disparity is largely explain
ed by the fact that the dense vol
umes Of smoke, both from our own
and the Spanish guns, prevented
accurate shooting by obscnring the

these big weapons are likely to b

before they land a successful shel

The 10-inch, 3O-ton wire gun now

with the most recent rapid-fire de-

Great preparations have been made for
