New Expedient for Target Practice on
the Coast.

The ordnance department mas recently
instituted a new method of target practice
with the heavy coast defense guns which
increases the amount of target practice pos
sible for the various posts and considerably
reduces it's cost. There was left on hand
from the civil war large amount of black
powder and a quantity of old Parrott pro-
Jectiles of the 200 and 30O-pound varieties
BY putting soft metal band on the base
of these shells they answer admirably for
practice firing, the drill with the big guns
being the same as in service conditions
the only difference being that the range
is not quite SO great. But the department
considers 1t a decided Improvement over
sub-caliber practice. 1t has enabled the
department to increase the allowance of
target practice about four-fold while the
cost with the old powder and projectiles is
only about SIT per round for ten-inch
gun against $112 for modern projectiles and
smokeless powder
The first reports of the new practice re-
ceived by the department are quite en-
couraginE.

WHAT HIS FRIENDS EXPECT
Believe That the Senate Will Ignore Pre-
cedent in Quay's Case.
Possible Combination With Clarke
Sensational Fight Probable
Views of the Opposition.

1t is expected by Mr.. Quay's friends that
he will be elected tt the Senate by the
Senate. Their proposition boiled down is
that the question of established prece-
dent will not be considered. but that the
vote in the Senate when the case comes up
will be simply on the proposition whether
or not majority of the senators want Mr..
Quay as a colleague
1t is not expected that the vote the
question of seating Mr.. Quay will be looked
upon as establishing the principle that tAe
governor of a state may appoint senator
when the legislature, having had the op-
portunity, failed to elect, a proposition al
ready emphaticaIy negatived in the Cor
bitt and other cases, but that the vote will
be- governed by the individual wishes Of
senators as to this particular case.
In other words, Mr.. Quay, having failed
of reelection by the Pennsylvania legis-
lature, will appeal to the United States
Senate for election. Some of his friends
say that there is not the least doubt of
his being voted a seat by the Senate
1t is intimated that there will probably
be combination between Quay and Clarke
of Montana, against whom there is con-
test on the grounds of alleged bribery in
election.
Both these cases will be very determined
ly contested, and it is thought that a SEN
sational fight will develop. Some of the
senators who opposed the seating of Cor
bitt as a matter of principle, such as Sena-
tor Burrows, who is a member of the COM
mittee, hold that to admit the right of a
governor to appoint a senator under the
circumstances attending the appointment of
Quay would result in a legislative dead
lock every time a state legislature was
called upon to elect a senator and that it
would finally get down to where a United
States senatorship would become an ap-
pointive office and part of the patronage
of the state governors.
For this reason they feel that the integ-
rity of the Senate as a constitutional part
OF the legislative branch of the government
is involved and that the opposition to seat
ing Quay should be carried to the utmost
extreme before yielding. 1t Is recognized
that if Mr.. Quay is seated it will be on
purely personal grounds, but those VINO
oppose it do not see how this can be done
in mis- case without opening the way for
future filling of senatorial vacancies by
governors appointment. If Mr. Quay is
seated the governors of Delaware. Califor-
MIA and Utah will fill existing vacancies by
appointment, and the practice is likely to
be followed.

WILL NOT BE RELIEVED.
The State Department Has Not Cri-
ticised Consul WiIdman's Course.

The statement that Consul Wildman is to
be relived at Hong Kong by DR.. Bedloe, the
consul at Canton, on account of the alleged
connection of the former with Aguinaldo,
Is erroneous. The State Department has
not had occasion to criticise the course of
Mr.. Wildman in that connection
DR.. Bedloe is now in this country await
ing the action of the State Department in
his own case. There has been an eXhaus-
tive investigation made of certain aIlega-
tions preferred against DR.. Bedloe by
United States Consul Goodnow at Shanghai
and other officials, and the department has
laid before the President its conclusions in
the matter. Mr.. Cridler, the third assistant
secretary of state, who prepared the re-
port which Will form the basis of action,
found much to eXtenuate in the consul s
conduct but it remains for the President
to determine whether not the extenu-
atlng circumstances will warrant the re-
tention of DR.. Bedloe in the consular sery-
Ice at some point outside of China

River Tidal Wave at
TagOnaura.

VICTORIA, B. c., October 25-Intelli-
gence is brought by the Rinsa Maru, which
mas arrived here, that the typhoon through
winch the Empress and Senator passed
proved even more disastrous on land than
on sea. In Toxic and Yokohama it ragged
with great fierceness. Hundreds of houses
were wrecked in all districts though the
storm seems to have been attended with
less loss of life than usual
A train bound for Fuhush!ma from NV
emo encountered gale of such terrific fury
when crossing the Hokogowa that it was
blown into the river. 1t consisted of ten
cars, including two locomotives. four car
tlages and three break vans. The locomo-
tives having cut off their coupling pins.
escaped scathess, but all the other cars,
carrying about 100 passengers were pre-
clpltated from the bridge. One person was
killed instantly, thirty were severely in
Jured and thirty others slightly. One Wo-
man is reported missing.
Fortunately the water below the bridge
was not deep. Had it been, all the passen-
gers would have been drowned
News of another disastrous catastrophe
comes from Tagonaura, between Numadzu
and SuzukaWa. About l O'clock October
l. a tidal wave swept over Tagonaura Over
300 houses We're destroyed and more than
100 people perished. The neighborhood of
Gosohiwa Mewa was converted into an ex-
tensive lake. A number of boats are en-
gagged in the search for the dead bodies
Great misery and suffering prevail among
the afflicted people.

The fleet will then proceed ostensibly to
Gibraltar, but it is thought that possibly
the fleets destination is a Spanish or Por-
tuguese port, the vessels have taken
out bills of health from the consuls of
those countries.
On the other hand, the Neues Wiener
Tagblatt publishes a telegram from the
Transvaal legation at Brussels announcing
that DR.. Leyds has received formal assur-
ances that France and Russia will not per-
nit Great Britain to annex the Transvaal
or the Orange Free State. This is discred-
tied, however as it is pointed out that,
even if this were the intention of the pow
ers mentioned, they would not allow their
hands to be shown prematurely through
the medium of DR.. Leyds.
The Russian newspapers may be some

TO HOLD PYRAMID HARBOR-
This Government Has Never Consid-
cred Such a CessiOn to Canada

There is authority for the statement that
at no time since the negotiations have
been in progress for an adjustment of the
Alaskan boundary line has the United
States government given serious considera-
ton to the cession to Canada of a single
inch of ground on the shores of the Lynn
canal. That position has not been changed
in any essential respect, and as Pyramid
harbor is certainly on a branch of the canal
1t follows that this government has never
had 1t in contemplation to surrender its
possession. There have been some negotia-
tions respecting the allowance to the CanaS
dians of privileges of free transporta ton
of goods over American territory into Brit
ish territory, provided the landing was
made at one specified point. An alternative
to this has been to lease a port on the
Lynn canal to the Canadians. thus afford
ing them the right of free entry of their
goods, but it is pointed out that the very
fact of the making of a lease would be n
full recognition of the right of the United
States TO the territory affected by the lease

NO REINFORCEMENT NEEDED.
Secretary Long DispOses of n Report
Regarding Guam.

Secretary Long said this morning that
there was nothing in the situation at Guam
to call for any reinforcement of the small
naval force on that island, and that the
report that additional marines were to be
recruited for service at Guam probably
originated from the decision of the depart
ment to send an additional battalion of
marines to the Philippines. The new bat
TALON of marines will be secured from
Washington and other places and rendez-
voused at New York in time to take pas
sage on the cruiser Buffalo at San Fran

be otherwise required. The townsfolk are

have not yet been issued, but the decision
to send him was the result of2a lack of ord
