Mayor Johnson that there is Il cap
tured Spanish ann that may be
had by North Dakota, if the proper
requisition is made, and the Fargo
council has passed a resolution ask
ing the governor to have it shipped to
Fargo. Why Fargo? The place for

THORITE SATISFACTORY.
The New High Explosive Will Be
Used In the Philippines.

New York, Aug. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
So satisfactory have been the results
of experiments made with thorite, the
new high explosive, that it will be
recommended by the board of ordnance
and Notifications for use in the Philip
pine campaign. Up to this time it has
successfully undergone the various
trials to which it has been subjected.
1t will explode, according to the Off
ciaI report, only by means of a detona-
tor and then only when confined
Two 1O-inch shells loaded with the
explosive were fired through a 5-inch
plate and failed to explode, breaking
the steel walls of the shell into small
particles.
The great value of a high explosive
which can be safely fired from high
power guns, has long been appreciated
by military men. The twelve dynamite
guns which will be shipped this week
to Manila are excellent in their way,
but it is believed that working in con-
junction with high power guns throw

John Young who died of smallpox.
Sharon himself was very sick with gas

handle" said Corporal Sharon. Il do
not like his ways, but I believe that

and in command of the forces there
is more than one man can handle.

was, but nobody can question his brav-
cry He never said go, but asked US
to follow him. He swan river there
in the face of the enemy with only a
revolver to fight with.
HMetcalf is just the man for colonel
of the regiment. Little is too import
ant to be a good soldier. The entire
regiment is worn out. The food while
on the firing line was bad. Enbalmed

in the barracks at Manila we got good

Corporal Sharon has many good pic
lures of the islands and the Kansas
regiment. One shows the regiment
across open fields in line of battle, an
other where the regiment is fortified
behind breaStWorks and the firing line
and shelters where the regiment quar-
tered for five months. Corporal Sharon
explains that the photographer who
took the pictures ran more risks than
half the soldiers there.

Result of Protracted spree.

An elderly man. with white, bushy hair
whose name was given as Albert Brooks
was a prisoner in Judge Kimballs court
this morning. 1t was alleged that he had
been found on the streets intoxicated al
most every day during the past two weeks
Il have been on a protracted spree for
two weeks" admitted the old man. lever
since the storm. Your honor, 1 have a
home sixteen miles frem here, in Maryland
and would like To return there"
What are youi doing here?' the court
inquired.
Il came here tossee about getting sigma
lures about mortgages, was his answer
II came here thet day of the snow, and ]
have been drinking ever since"
Policemen Newkirk and Stevenson, who
had arrested Brooks, told the court they
had warned him about his conduct, and he
told them he hada right to drink as much
as he pleased.
Judge Kimball told him he was sadly in
need Of treatment and fined him $40, with
the alternative Of serving thirty days on
the farm.
When taken back to the cell the aged
prisoner begged for drink Of liquor, which
was not given to him.. Later he complained
that people were coming through the walls
and annoying him. Policeman Madigan al.
lowed him the privilege of spending his
time in the corridor, and this seemed to
have good effect on his nerves.

CLIMBED OVER THE ROOF.
Suspicious Actions Lead to Arrest of
Two Strangers.

Policeman Sears Of the first precinct was
making his rounds near the corner of 7th
and d streets about 2 o'clock this morning,
when his attention was attracted by the
suspicious actions Of a young white man.
The suspect looked around, and evidently
becoming convinced that the coast was
clear, entered the alley in rear OF Harris
1ewelry store. Then he climbed the fence
in rear of a d street saloon and crossed the
roof Of the back building. AS soon as the
officer felt certain the mysterious stranger
could not get away he went for assistance
and discovered a young colored man, who
was peering into the front window of the
building. He succeeded in apprehending
both.
Thomas Johnson was the name given by
the white man, while the colored man call
ed himself John Moore.
Where are the prisoners from?" Judge
Kimball asked the officer, when the case
was on trial today.
johnson told me he came from Pennsyl-
vania," Officer Sears answered. Moore
said he lived on Cd street southwest, and
afterward he said he had just come here
from 'Philly.''
What did he mean by that?'
philadelphia, 1 suppose
The prisoners pleaded guilty TO the charge
of being suspicious persons, but declined to
make a statement other than that they were
strangers here.
Judge Kimball required them to give Sc
curity in the sum of $1OO or serve ninety
days on the farm.

AMENDMENT URGED.
Commissioners Refer to Defect I'm n
Pending Measure.

The District Commissioners have address
ed letter to Senator Allison, chairman of
the Senate committee on appropriations,
calling his attention TO the amendment Of
fered by Senator Chandler to the deficiency
bill appropriating $1,000 for grading and
paving 10Th street extended between Flori-
da avenue and Columbia road. The Com
missioners refer to the act recently passed
for widening the road, one OF the main
reason for which action was that 10Th
street affords access TO Washington
Heights over street which is not oCcu-
pied by a street car lire.
To merely vest in the District" state
the Commissioners, ''the title of the land
to widen the street, without giving any
authority by appropriation to grade it TO
proper width and provide suitable pave
ment, would be leaving the work but par
tlaily completed. The street is now too
narrow to be used with convenience and
on account of the steep grade It is necas-
sary TO make the side cutters of such depth
that the street is not as safe as il should
De 1t is extremely difficult to maintain
macadam pavement upon a street of this
grade, and If the object of the bill for wild
enlng the street is to be carried out 1T can
be most economically and advantaseously
done by providing for the grading and
paving promptly.
