Less OF ia BOurgGSnc

New York, July y A-According
to the latest information about
the sinking Of La Bourgognc, the
number Of persons lost was $50.
The official explanation Of the
cause that SO few passengers were
saved is that the blow caused the
ship to list heavily to starbOard,
and it was with great difiiulty
that ai,y one but sailors could
keep D foothold on the deck. The
llfcbOatS on the port side were
thus thrown 50 high that they
could not be launched, causing
death Of many persons who did
not know the StarbOard boats
were waiting. Dispatches show
that when the starboard boats
we're launched the passengers
were plnic-Strickcr, and could
not be controlled. In the rush to
the boats many were killed.
Much Indignation is felt at the
conduct OF the sailors and ship Of
licials rs told by the survivors.
Many Of their actions were muir
der pure and simple. The major
ity Of the survivors left Halifax

And while we are at this matter ,

And while we are at this matter we
will here reprint the portions OF the
late interview credited to Messrs.
Clifford and Robinson. They also may
have mistaken the meaning of the
words at the end of Monday 3 editorial
They also, as is readily seen when the
matter is viewed in the light of the
foregoing paragraph, appear most
creditably, and conld only take offence
through q Misunderstanding Fo,-
lowing is reprinted from last Friday g
HERALD:
Mr.. Clifford said to "a HERALD re-
porter. Last year there was in the
city treasurer's hands. and deposit. d
in the late National b +nk, the sum of
about $1,000. After the flood last year
there were some b d holes made IN
streets and sidewalks by the building
of levees in the second ward, and about
$4OO of this improvement fund wa
used to repair tn Sc places. That lef,
US a balance of $500 still on hand and
in the treasury to be used to imprOv.
the sidewalks and the streets. Now
want to go down on record as being in
favor of taking this amount and dlvid-
ing it equally among the four wards of
the city, using it "a far as it will go for
the purpose for which it was collect
ed"
Mr.. Clifford stated further that he
thought that a. the next general tax
levy the rate should be so Increased as
to keep up the work of Improvement
in our streets and sidewalks. "Ot
course" said Mr.. Clifford, Il think
that the city does need a new Jail, but
l think that the streets should be fixed
first But of course if L can't get it
used for improvements 1 will be glad
to see it used for jail
On being asked for what amount he
thought the whole city could be put in
good condition. he said, 81 believe it
will take between ten and fifteen thou
ands dollars" Mr.. Clifford con
tiuued, "None of the money used in
the ID ward was used for sidewalks
purposes, and therefore that ward de-
So rves the share if we SO use the ba-
lance. There are some people that
contend that the sidewalks are not
part of the street, but 1 hold that
they are, and 1 think that the reason
the council won't act is because they
think that they would be improving
private property at public expense"
Mr.. A. M. Robinson, chairman o.
the street and grading committee,
when called on by the HERALD report
err, said, 1--WE all realize that the
amount on hand in the treasury is not
sufficient to improve the whole city.
and it is impossible to levy q special
tax for this purpose as there is con-
fl citing law existing in the state
statutes" Mr.. Robinson stated fur
ther that the committee would be more
than willing to lend the city teams to
citizens where all the resi- ents in an
entire block would omblne in helping
20 improve the streets and sidewalks
facing their property, and that they
would be especially glad to help those
on North Oregon street.

said Mr. Chalk. modestly, land l am
confident that have invented bullet
that " i'll revolutiOnize fighting. What
l claim, and am prepared to prove: Is
that with my bullet l can hit an object
that is round q corner or on the other
side of block of houses. There 10 ao.
solutely no doubt about the accuracy IT
the aim. Surprising, now, you want to
hit something that was round the cor
ner of q mountain. When you had
found the distance betwee your gun
and the mount-in you could hx your
bullet to alter its course at certain
moment. Then you'd fire, and the
man round the corner would be sorry
'.Or say you wanted to hit an enc
my's chip lying Oh the otter side OF
one of your own. That would be the
easiest thing imaginable. You would
just Fl your bullet to go straight for q
bit, then soar upward for q while, and
then rush down point first ON ltop OF
the doomed vessel.
81 tell you, my bullet will go any
way and do snything you may want to,
and I've written to the war office to say
50.
'Op TO now Tue Ou'y COuW uuAS1' iou
1 have received in reply is the usual
stereotyped Acknowledgements; but the
Patent Office people-he did not men
ton nsmes-have valued the tnven-
ton at sl5O. 900, and have told me that
it ia the M ,st marvellous invention OF
the present age.
81 shall wait for further commune
cation from the war Office, and II do
not hear from them shall offer my in
vention to foreigu government. or
course, l would rather the new bullet
Decame the property of the English
government, but want to know soon."
Mr. Chalk is a modest and very
earnest inventor, and when he men
toned that he had tried one OF his bull
let's in a field, and that the probe tile,
Obedient to his wish, had circled in
the air about five times and had then
fallen behind him, he old 80 with the
air of young man who is calmly con-
fdent that he has thought out great
thing. But of the method by which
he alleges he obtains these unusual re-
suits, no hint can be extracted from
him. T. at is the secret he hopes to
obtain those ESQ, 900 from.

Mr.. Brunner spoke the gospel truth
when he said that he had always been
in favor of using the fund for street
improvements. And if anybody cares
to look up the matter, he will see that
the HERALD has so represented him.
In tho very article objected to, the
words are as follows:
Mr.. Wales, Mr.. Robinson, Mr.. Cliff
ford, MIR. Brunner, speak out now, and
back up your convictions by acting
right.
"Back up your convictions by acting
right'implies necessarily that the con-
victions are right. Mr.. Drummer ap-
pears here in a highly creditable light.
If there were more men in the council
like him things would be much better
than they are.
In the original article which has
raised all this controversy, Alderman
Brunuer il quoted rs follows:
Alderman Drummer, who is the third
member of this committee, was seen
az d on being asked how he stood or
this N after he said: Il am for u>ipg
what money we have on hard for fix
lug up buo eGk0SUS UuAb 'CSo IL O'C
most. While we can use what money
we have. and fix up the worst places, l
think that the C ty council ought to
manage in some way to levy tax BY
which means the entire city could be
improved in her streets and side
walks Mr.. Drummer said further.
II think that the city should give Ore
gou street it's much needed improve =
ment, for that street needs it more
tlsn any other street in town, and
eeds the Improvements right now.
When asked as to what he thought
about taking the street fund for jai
| purposes, be said: 81 am positively
| not in favor of any such move, and
don It thing the streets should be neg
lected."
As it seems to US that MIR. Drummer has
simply permitted a slight misunder-
standing to warp his judgment for the
moment, we will let the matter drop,
with the remark that as long as he
pursues the course he is pursuing, the
HERALD will have only the good woro
for him.

A SOCIAL CALL.

Mr. BEN CATLIN and Mr.. Alderman
Bruuner favored US with a call last
evening. They referred to an article
headed "rhst Fund Again." printed
in Mondays HERALD. Mr.. Drummer
said he obi cted to being mixed up in
any such manner with the statements
printed therein. Mr.. Catlin said he
represented the mayor, and he wanted
to tell the editor to his face that every
word printed in the article was dam
ned inf, rnal lie, and the e1itor was
damned liar and the paper that pub
listed it was an Internal lying sheet.
He repeated the statement. Then Mr..
Drummer said similar pleasant things,
and came .ck to say them over ag Ain.
Mr.. B 'uaner said, as for that little
b .ck room in the State National bank,
he had never been in it but once, and
tn At was three or. four years ago. And
he said that nobody had ever come to
him and told him to go to Morehead for
any advice. Mr.. Catlin said
he knew everything that went
on in the council meetings, and
he knew that no such dOings as those
chroni ,led ever went on there. Then
M. CatIin and Mr.. Drummer said q few
more cuss words, and Mr.. Catlin shook
his fist little closer to the editors
nose, a. d they both repeated the re-
marx about the virtue of veracity.
They made no threats; they just re-
lieved their minds. And when the
editor offered to print at the head OF
the editorial column any statement
tn might want to make, they just
sm ed and said they had nothing to
say except that we were damned liars,
ETC., etc. Thy were obviously labor
ing under much excitement. Mr.. Catlin

Local Nominations.
Texas State Journal.

There is but one way for the Re-
publican party of Texas to ever &C
complish the feat OF acquiring
strength commensurate with the nee
essity of defeating our entrenched
enemy. That is for our party to no.
inmate local tickets. In that way the
people of various localities become en-
listed in the cause for local reasons. 1t
should be the policy of our parry to
nominate car d date for the 1egis1a-
ture in every district, regardless of
our strength, care being taken to select
the best avail able material.
In that way each candidate and his
friends will interest them-elv in the
case. and our policies will become dis
semina ed. Great benefits will come
from nominating full county tickets,
for even though they were not success
full, they would carry a large part of
their accumulated strength to state
or national ticket. Let US hope that
in every vicinity the people will urge
nominations.

1T BEATS THE BOOMERANG.
| Bullet That Jumps Over a Man and
Hits Him in the Back.

From The London Dai y Mail.
The man who flatters himself that
he is safe because he is benin a house
when another man is firing off a gun
at the other side had better get rid of
thaEridiculous notion once ar d for all.
For q young inventor claims to have

meets with that popularity which it's
remarkable alb lities appear to war

to fire down q we'll. In short. the new
bullet will, even if it does only half Of
what is claimed for it, upset all old
notions OF the laws govern

How Men Fight Nowadays.
From Kansas City Star

From Kansas City Star.
George P. Gross, the colonel of the
Sd r giment, talked of war to . report
err this neutrality-suspicious. war IS it real.
ly Is.
"There have been changes In war
tactics since the civil war" said he.
For instance, soldiers used to line up
in battle shoulder to shoulder, and
stand out in the open under . CALLING
ire. That has been changed. In the
Spanish war infantry will do most OF
its fighting in extended order. When
the regiments are in line firing, the
men will be three, or four, or even six
feet apart. The extended order line is
similar to the skirmish line. It Ia q
very effective way of fighting, and
gre. atty reduces the loss of men.
''TO march men upon the field
shoulder to shoulder in the face OF
rApid-fring artillery means q great
slaughter. Calling and Hotchkiss guns
wo Id simply NOW then down. Then,
too. the men are allowed to
protect themselves. They lie
down and, with their trench
knives or bayonets, scoop up loose
earth. which is q great protection fri N
infantry fire. Loose earth will stop
rife bullets.
'1u the last war we used to raise
earth Notifications and lamp the earth

should not have done. We should have
thrown up the earth loosely.

Where the Pecan Grows.

From the Little Rock Democrat.
The pecan is a near relative of the
hickory nut. 1t does not thrive in all
land that the hickory nut will, but tn
hickory nut will grow we'll wherever
the pecan will. The home of the
pecan is the low, rich bottomland that
lies along the Wabash, Mississippi,
White and Big Bend rivers. while they
seem to grow equally as we'll in the In
dian Territory and in the best-wstered
parts of Texas. Over one hundred car
loads have been shipped from Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas and
the Indian Territory.

THE police say they are going to en-
force strictly the laws against fast
driving. That is most commendable.
Complaints have been frequent against
this class Of public nulsances, and many
accidents have occurred that never get

cases summarily dealt with will dis
pose of the matter just as the bicycle
