NELSON DINGLEY
IS NOW DYING

Washington, Jan THE condition of
Representative Nelson Dingley of Maine,
who has been i'll with pneumonia for al
most week, has undergone a change for
the worse and the physicians hold out
little if any hope of recovery. Although
the lungs have improved considerably
and the cough ceased, the patient has lost
vitality to an alarming extent The poi
son of the disease is permeating the whole
system, which renders it less potent to
stand the terrible strain. Much of the
day the patient was delirious and appear
ed to be uttering extracts from speeches
he had made on the tariff question in the
house of representatives. He was con-
sclous only a moment when aroused. The
physicians say there must be radical
change, which must occur very soon
At $3.50 o'clock this morning Mr. Ding
ley's condition was said to be unchanged
At o'clock there was no change to
be reported in the condition of Mr.
Dngley

just published shows that with heavy
guns 259 rounds were fired at eight knots
and that the percentage of hits was 80.
With the six-inch quick firers, steaming
II knots, the average was also 80 per
cent, and with Maxim guns the average
was as per cent. The siX-inch quick
firers are the most used gun in the Brit
ish service and the papers point out that
it is evident that even the crack squad
ron has much to learn regarding it's use.
In the case of the smaller weapons the
results were still more dsadvantageous
and this without the disconcerting effect
of hostile fire. The papers now ask if it
is not time that measures be taken to
make gun practice something more than
perfunctory exercise as it is the case
in many of the British ships.
