and rode in several parades, wearing

useful on several occasions by helping

A few weeks ago, however, the fair

like this:
"Are you Colonel Butt still, or are
you Colonel Cunningham? Does your
marriage change your title to Colonel
Cunningham? AS Mrs. Cunningham
are you still colonel?"
The fair colonel was bewildered. She
was sure size did not know anything
about it. She had never thought that
her marriage would endanger her title.
She would ask the governor. Some

Commodore McSair Studied the Art OF
War Amid Flying Shells.
Commodore Frederick Y. McNair,
who is expected to take charge of the
north Atlantic squadron, is no theorist
in naval warfare; He is fighter. His
bravery has won him not only expe-
rience, but honor and distinction. He
was born in Pennsylvania. He entered
the Naval academy at Annapolis in
1853 and was made midshipman in
1860. He served in the China squadron
and was ordered home when the war
broke out.
He was midshipman under Farra-
gut. He was with Faragut at New
Orleans. He was made lieutenant for
bravery in 1851. He ran the pantlet at
Vicksburg and was made lieutenant
commander for meritorious services.
His activity, his courage, his resources,
distinguished him in that dangerous
Mississippi work. Ho took part in the
assault on Fort Fisher aud again won
fresh honors.
He had four years Of constant fight
ing. He studied the art of war amid
flying shells and solid shot. When the
war closed, Lieutenant Commander Nc

proved since 1861. He went to Cinoin-
natl to build his first guns and at the
shops of Miles Greenwood.
Though there was much secrecy about
the work it became known that
dreadful weapon which would end the
war in short order was nearly finished
at these shops. Some Jealous friend of
the Confederacy set fire to the establish
ment Of Mr.. Greenwood, ard the gat-
ling guns were so injured as to be
worthless.
After the fire DR.. Gatling at another
shop built 13 new guns at an expense Of
$4,000 When these were finished, he
sent them to Washington in care Of
Chicago gentleman who was supposed
to have great influence with the author
titles. The chief of ordnance, Genera
Ripley, was an old fashioned man who
sincerely believed that the very best
war weapon was the muzzle loading,
smoothboro, fiintIock musket. 1t is
not to be wondered that from such an
official DR.. Gatlings representative re-
oeived small encouragement.
Ripley had successor in the ordnance
Office, DR.. Gatling, who in the mean-
time had substituted metallic for paper
cartridges, again brought his invention
to the notice of the authorities in Wash
ington. An ordnance board was ap-
pointed to test the gun at Fortress Mon
roe in competition with howitzers.
Here is DR.. Gatling's own account Of
this test:
"When got down to the place Of
trial, found that some of the officers
had put up job on me. They didn t
want my gOn to do better work than
the hOwitzers, which were regular
arm of the service. found that to work
my gun they had assigned lot of plan
tation darllies, raw recruits just in from
the farm, who didn't know any more
about gun than horse does about his
uncle. For the working Of the howitzers
they had set apart number of picked
men. / protested. | said l wanted a

better than nothing. They gave me the
hour, and / Immediately established a

Of educating my crew. Just before the
opening of the trial l gave each darby
dollar, and said to him: Now, do
your best. This dollar is just to begin
on.

heroes. beat the howitzers four to
one, and the report went on to Wash

THE AMAZONAs.

ment the United States agrees to make
good the money paid by Brazil to the
Armstrong; and to deliver the balance to
Brazil as bonus, after such expenses as
are necessary to put tho unoompleted YES
sells in a fighting and seaworthy condition
are deducted.
It is difficult to compare these vessels
with any of the ships of the north Atlantic
squadron. A ship like the Maine could
demolish both OF them IN a stand up fight
without opening her big guns. In arma-
ment either of these ships compares favor
ably with the Columbia, Of the protected
cruiser type, except that tho Columbia
carries one inch gun, but bor battery is
supplemented with only two 6 inch and
ten 4 inch guns. The Columbia, however,
has coal capacity of about 200 tons, an
indicated horsepower of more than $4,000
and speed of 23 knots. The fact that 90
knots per hour is claimed as the speed Of
these two cruisers seems to be their chief
merit.
1t is not considered possible by experts
that the Armstrong; have been able to in
crease the efficiency of the two Brazilians
to an 5000 knot steaming radius and 90
knot speed, allowing for only 700 tons coal
consumption. These vessels were built to
operate in Rio de Janeiro and the Rio dc
la Plata, where coal was always obtain
able at short notice. 1t is said that had
Spain purchased them she would have been
compelled to make the United States gift
of them after one voyage across the ocean
on account of their limited coal capacity
and the impossibility Of replenishing the
supply.
The two vessels are described as fol-
| lows: Displacement, 3,4O0 tons; length
over ALL $3.50 feet; breadth, 4p.9 feet;
| depth, 1919; speed, 90 knots; indicated
horsepower, forced draft, $500; coal ca
paoity, 700 tons; coal consumption for
each horsepower at full speed per hour, 2. 1
| pounds, or about eight tons of coal per
| hour.
The O'Higgins, which Spain tried to
buy of Chile, is much more formidable
vessel than either of tho two Brazilian
craft. She was built by the Armstrong;
too, and launched on May 80, 1897 but IL
not yet ready for service. However, il
would take but a short time to fit her out
She was named for the great Chilean ad
miral.

goes. Admiral Benham caused Brown
son to break up this condition Of affairs.
After notifying the insurgents and
the city that he intended to protect by
force if necessary and to place all
American vessels which might wish to
go to the docks alongside the wharfs,
the war vessels Of the United States got
under way and cleared for action. The
Detroit, which was stationed in the
best position for the ends Of protection,
had orders to fire back if the merchant
vessels were fred upon. A shot from
one Of the insurgent vessels was fired at
but missed the boat of one Of the Amer
ican vessels that was making prepara-
tions for hauling in by means Of line
running to the shore. The Detroit re-
piled with shot from a six FOUNDER,
which struck under the insurgent' S
bow. The insurgent fred again at the
merchant vessel, ana BTownson, steam
ing alongside the Brazilian with his
guns trained on the latters decks,
shouted that if another shot was fired
he would sink the insurgent where she
lay. There was no more firing.

the agreement regarding the lease of
Port Arthur ana Ia Lien Win and the

given over today.
Chin Chow will remain Chinese, but
the Russians will establish q small sta

Arthur and Ia Lien Wan will he open

Regarding the customs, the Russians
reserve to themselves the collection of
the dues, but nothing is divulged as to
their eventual destination. The Rus
slams will probably take the forts at
Port Arthur. The Chinese have decided
to open Fu-Ning, province OF Fo-Kien,
