Dynamite Guns for PHILIPPINES,

Dynamite guns are to be employed
by the army in the coming campaign
in the Philippines. While the use OF
these guns is yet regarded as in its
experimental stage sufficient progress
in their development has been made to
warrant the army officials in includ-
ing them as a part of the equipment
in the field. Recently Lieutenant M.
c. Buckley, Third artillery, was Or
dered to New York to aid in loading
the twelve two and one-halr inch
Simms-Dudley dynamite guns, accesso-
ries and ammunition, on board a mer-
chant ship, which is to transport them
to Manila by the Suez canal. From
New York Lieutenant Buckley will pro-
coed to the Woolwich arsenal, Eng
land; Paris, France and Amsterdam,
for the purpose of examining the or
ganization and material of mountain
guns and hotwitzer batteries used in
India and Africa and other countries
where service is similar TO that in the
Philippines. After performing this
duty Lieutenant Buckley will procec ).
to Manila for duty.

John C. HUBINGER
BILE Career OF n Well-Known
Wcstern Capitalist, ufnct.
urcr and PhiIanthropixt.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, OF Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprislnS zap
talist and as a philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but Al years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was o
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on Il number of val
liable mechanical Inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
d%itions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made

Denver Welcomes Troops.

DENVER, Sept. 15.--The Colorado
volunteers were welcomed home on
their return to the states capital with
a demonstration that atoned for the
lack of enthusiasm manifested when
the regiment departed from this city
on May II, 1898, on it's long journey
to the Philippines. Bells, whistles,
guns, n and crowds began
counding a noisy welcome when the
soldiers free train reached the Union
depot at 10 o'clock. After receiving
the greetings of relatives the volun-
tcers fell into line and were escorted
by a procession to the capitol through
streets lined with masses of people
waving flags and shouting cheers.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-(New York
World Cablegram.)-In response to a
request for an opinion on the DreyfuS
verdict Michael Davitt writes:
Comments of the English ana
American press on the result of the
Rennes trial are a greater outrage on
justice than the condemnation of Drey-
fus. even if innocent. Had Dreyfus
been a poor man his fate would excite
no sympathy in London and New
York. Being rich, the English-speak-
ing world works itself into a hypoclit-
zeal moral rage against a nation that
has taught England and Europe the
liberty they now profess. Were ORGY
fus an lrishman accused Of political
crime against England he would be
tried, condemned by a packed Jury and
sentenced by a political judge and i'm
prsoned among thieves. Being a sus-
pect of traitorism to France is enough
to make him a moral hero in England
and cause the British press to use the
case as a weapon to stab France.
Neither England nor America ever run
a hundrcdth part of the risk faced by
rance in order to get at the truth
concerning one mans act or innocence.
| don't believe him altogether guilt
less. but hope he will be rardoned
forthwith"
MAJ O'Rell writes to the Daily
Chronicle on British sympathy for
Drcyfus: THE English are most earn
est lovers Of justice and fairplay, but
the French do not know this fact-at
any rate the masses do not. Public
brltlsh expression Of sympathy will
go against Dreyfus. For Gods sake
use your influence to stop it. But for
the universal sympathy shown Drey-
fus, whom | personally believe inno-
cent. in England and Germany, he
would have been acquitted. It has been
a terrible thing to say, but I say it
and am not afraid of contradiction"
