AT WORK NIGHT AND DAY.
Making Guns at the Washington Gun
 Factory

Washington, Feb. 3.--It may ba con- sidered somewhat significant fhas the Washington gun factory is working constantly twenty-four hours a day in the manufacture of large and small guns for the battle ships and the aux Hilary cruisers. It is said, however. that the desire of the department to get through with this work as quickly as possible is due almost entirely 10 economical reasons. It has been shown that it is cheaper to maintain the shops at their full working ca pacity than to reduce the forces. Consequently, three gangs of men are employed in relays of eight hours each and there is no cessation in ;ale din and industry attending the assemb- bling of pieces of ordnance. At pres enl the shops are engaged in wlork on guns for auxiliary cruisers, not on heavy ordnance. Thirteen inch guns have been turned out faster than the battle ships could use them, and nl- ready guns have been assembled Dr the Kearsarg and Kentucky, neither of which can mount them under six months.
 There will soon be upward of one hundred guns of smaller calibsr at the gun factory, all of which would be sent to fast cruisers in event that their services were required. To pc vide sI1ita h1e n1ans for mouutin1 tho guns the construction bureau has pre- pared drawings showing where each gun is to be stationed on certain yes sels carried on the departme IS emer- gency list. With the guns at hand type could be put in readiness for ac- tion within fifteen days

ARM1NG THE AUXILIARY NAVY
Letters Addressed to the Militis
 Organizations.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The secretary of the navy has addressed a letter to the various militia organizations, giv- ing details of the plans for placing guns of one and six pounder ca iber on the vessels of the auxiliary navy plying in their vicinity The militia organizations have been asked to fur nish the department with a lis. of all s1am vessels, yachts and tugs which could be utilized as rams or cruisers in war time, with the number of guns each could readily mount. This in formation would probably be sought even if there was no possibility Of friction between Spain and the Uni ed States, but by naval officers it is in- terpreted to prove that the adminis
 tration is apprehensive of troub,b yet before the Cuban affair Is concluded.

FINAL COUNTY MURDER.
Jose Lopez Cleaves His Wife's Hal
 With an AK.

A s,cry Of a horrible murder comes from the San Pedro valley in Pinal county. 1t occurred near Reddington, either last Saturday night or on Sun day morning, for there are two stor- ies of the tragedy. But the enc es sential fact is that Jose Lopez augh- tered his wife and her body was bur led at Tucson yesterday.
 Lopez was brought to the Pima county jail on Monday and was given an examination in the probate curt for his sanity. He was remanded to the custody of the sheriff to be held on a charge of murder

ILLINOIS FAvORs THE TREATY.
COMMISSIONER SUSTAINED.
Has a Right to Ignore Applications
 for Increased Pensions.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Senator Gal finger chairman of the committee on pensions, yesterday presented re- port from that committee, detai ling the report of the committees inves l. gation under the resolution of the 18th u1t instructing the committee to investigate and report as to the au- thority of the commissioner of pen sions for refusing to pass upon ap- plications for increase of pension un- til one year after the original pension has been granted or rejected.
 Senator Gallinger includes in his report statement from the commits sioner of pensions, in which that of ficial claims that the regulation comes strictly within the duties an1 it is in the interest of the service. He says that of the 65O.OOO claims now pending before him 45O, GOO are for in crease, and he adds: 'The experience of the bureau is that considerable percentage of the claimants 50 soon as they get their certificates of allow ance of pension file an applica ion for increase and get the machinery in m 2- ton to have that increase claim given preference over claims fer pensions that have been on file pending from one to seven or more years"
 The conclusion of the committee is that the commissioner has ample Vu- thority to- make the rule and that it is "clearly in the interes; of soldie s and widows who have not yet received any pension, which fact renders it's wisdom self evident"

 Claims are in great demand on the Fl Dorado and surrounding groups some having been sold at an average price of about $100,OG0 cash. The com munity will require an enormous amount of supplies and there is need of all kinds of machinery used for mining.

HIS EXTENSIVE sON-IN-LtW.
Moses Rosensiock Has Cost More
 Than $75 900 Up 10 Date.

New York, Feb. 3-Moses Rosen- stock was arraigned in the Center street police court today on the c-m- plaint of his father-n-law, David Will son of Baltimore as a fugitive from justice. He was held pending the ar r.val of requisition papers from Bal Timore. lRosens,ock was arreste1 las. night.
 MT. Wilson, the complainant, is the senior member of the million sire fur nftute manufacturing firm of David Wilson & Son, Baltimore.
 Thirteen years ago, accord ng to the testimony of MT. Wilson in court today, Rosenstock was compelled through his gambling debts and en- tanglements to leave Germany. He came to this country and after a short residence in Baltimore married MT Wilson's oldest daughter, despi z her fathers opposition. Soon afier that Rosenstock was given an i'm -o:t- ant position with his father:n law firm, but after paying attention to
  sock again plunged deeper than ever into dissipation. One day came the refusal 10 pay bill of over s2,000, which, it is claimed, according to MT. Wilson, had been paid to Rosens ock months before. When confronted with the evidence, Rosenstock denied d that he had received the money, but the matter was settled for the time by Rosenstock's accepting a few hundred dollars and leaving town. He left his wife and five children behind. An expert was put to worN on his books and MT. Wilson states discovered that Rosenstock was s90,00O short in his accoun5s. This was in 1896.
 "His dissipation in Baltimore" said MT. Wilson, in court today, had al ready cost me over $75,09O, and when I found he had been robbing me be- ! side, determined to punish him s. verely if he could be found.'
 For a year and more the detectives f secured the country for Rosenstock He went, they learned, to Philadelphia and being in the employ of a firm there for a few months, disappeared having defaulted in small sum Later he went to Pittsburg and, ar- cording to the story, prac ically did the, same thing over again.
 Rosenstock had nothing to say wher arraigned today and greeted his ia h. 1.-x T. showed little emotion when told by MT. Wilson that during the two year: he had been absent two of his chil dren had died. After he was remand ed to the Tombs, Rosenstock said he would prepare a statement showing the amount of money he had taker 1 from Mr. Wilson.

SAN FRANClsco's Ex-MAYoR.
One of His Big Schemes Con-
 nection With the Durrant Case.

MT. Charles Benjamin of San Fran cisco was telling some friends the other evening at the Commercial hotel of ex+Mayor Sutro's eccentricities, and among other incidents in the old mans
 life was the purchase of the land at
 the cliffs known as Sutro Heights.
 The ex-mayor wanted the land, but
 aimed to get it ar a nominal figure
 Sam Tetlow owned tle strp - Suiro knew Sam was hard up. <O1e
 day he asked the former manager ot
 the Bella Union theater what he
 would take for the land, and Teslow
 said $15,O00 cash would buy it. Sutro took day off to think the matter
 over and finally tried 10 cut Sans
 figures down, but without success. He
 had Tetlow sign bond and very soon
 afterwards handed over certified
 check for the amount of Tetlow's de-
 mand. That land, as Sutro later cn made it, could not be had for mi . lion dollars. Sam Yellow gambled heavily and today walks the s'rests cf San Francisco a decrepM old man, strongly in contrast with SutEo, who, though in his three score and ten, Is
 still shrewd enough to know a good thing when he sees it and Is worth his millions. There are number of such instances in the big coast town;
 yea, even in Phoenix. Suro was re-
 puted to have been the rower behind the throne in the Durrant case, but sven the big dailies of San Francisco have not been able 10 locate to a
 certainty the source of revenue needed to pay the expenses of the defense In the case "Sutrc Is recognized" said MT. Benjamin, "as very close man and that fact would seem to dis5tp3te
 the idea of his putting up fir rhe de fense of Durrant. It has been gan- orally unders, ood that the Durrants
 were and are today very poor peop. e."

SCARCITY OF FRACTIONAL COIN
Secretary Gage Writes to House
 Committee.

Washington, Feb. 3-Secre ary Gage has sent to Chairman Stone of the house committee on coinage, weights and measures a letter in which he explains the necessity for the enact ment of several important bills recent ly introduced in the house of repre- enratives at his request and still pending He says the amount it is per missible under existing law to allow the smelter and refner and carrier of the United States mints for wastage in their operations of the precious metals is excessive and should be re- duced to one-ha1f thousandth of the whole.
 The demand for fractional silver coin since 1890 has been much greater than the amount coined, and the treasury has been compelled to pay out wtorn coin, as the amount of new coin manufactured has been limi ed by the appropriation made for the payment of loss on recoinage on such coin.
 From the demands for new coin it would appear that a much larger amount of subsidiary silver coia would be maintained in circulation if the secretary of the treasury wee au- thorized to use any silver bullion now in the treasury in the coinage of such denominations of subsidiary silver coin as might from time to time be required, and it is therefore r5c3m mended that such authority to recoiI all worn and abraded fractional si vel coin now in the treasury and hereaf ter received. There are now in tht treasury over s10,COO,O0O in subsidiary silver coins Of this amount ir is es timated that about S7,000,000 is unfi for circulation.
 The third bill Is to authorize ihe re ceipt of foreign gold coin in sums O S5,O00 in any single deposit, and t. pay for them without previously melt ing, the coin to be held as bullion an paid out for export in exchange fo United States coin. When importa ions of gold are made it frequentl occurs that large amounts cons St foreign gold coins. The result wcul save to the depositor the cost Of melt ing and to the government in cas of deposits at the New York as-a office the expense of transfer to an cost of coinage at the Philadelphi mint, and 1t is more than probabl
