THE GATHMANN GUN.
The Appropriation for the Construction of One of 1S-Inch Bore Is
 Now Available.

Washington, March 24.-Controller Tracewell of the treasury has decided that the appropriation made by con gress for the construction of an 1S- inch Gathmann gun is immediately available Acting under the decision il is understood that the ordnance off, ciaIs Of the war department will begin construction of this monster, which, i- is claimed. will be able to blow any ship out of the water as easily as puff of wind can displace piece of paper
 The appropriation was in the act for Notifications and defense, and was for s65,000. Ire appropriation author dzed the expenditure of the money without advertisement, thus enabling the war department to secretly conduct it's investigation into this alleged most formidable weapon Of warfare If the experiments prove the ruth of the assertions of the inventor battleships will be useless in attacking cities. and will never be able to enter any port of a country armed with these guns.
 The shell fired by the gun is of gun cotton, and it is claimed that the shell can be sent a distance of nine miles, and will demolish a battleship at that distance with ease. The experiments so far made are said to have proved wonderful

A CoCHIsE ENTERPRISE.
Wilcox to Have Electric Lights Water Works, lee Factory and
 Cold Storage.

An enterprise which will afford the citizens of Wilcox advantages seldom
 enjoyed by towns even thrice it's size,
 has been undertaken by Messrs.
 F. E. Caldwell, who lately re turned to this place from Pearce, and T. D. Swatling, su- perintendent of the Commonwealth cOmpany's mill at that famous camp.
 In view of the many and great ad- VantageS which will accrue to our pao- Die, these gentlemen may well be re- garded as public benefactors, although they, of course, expect by combining several different enterprises in one to realize fa safe profit on their invest ment
 The name of the new concern is The Wilcox Lighting, Pumping & Ice Co.,, and the plant will be located at the upper or northeast end of town. close to the Southern Pacific railroad. Chisholm & Norfieet's well drilling machine is already in place to drill the well to depth of 175 or 200 feet with view to securing pure water and op- eFatlons will begin as soon as the we'll casing arrives, which should be in day or two.
 Mir Caldwell, who is an experienced master builder. will himself superin- tend the erection of the buildinn which is to be about 6Ox4O feet. The power will be furnished by a large en- zine driven by two fifty-horse power boilers. A stand-pipe, seventy-five feet in height will afford a pressure s,iffi- clent to throw a strong stream of water over any building in town. The saving to property owners in the cost or lire insurance will alone be a suffi- clent reason for giving the projectors Of the new enterprise their generous support.
 The electric plant will consist of two dynamos and a direct three-wire sys- tenn, everything being of the latest improved design. The stores and many of the private houses will be lighted by incandescents as soon as the system is in operation.
 The ice machine will also be of the best make and will have in connection 1 cold storage capacity for at least two carloads. The electric light plant and ice machine are to be in operation by June 1st, when Wilcox will begin to put on metropolitan airs.
 All the machinery has been ordered | and the carrying out of this enterprise | which promises to add so materially to | the safety of Willccx property and the ] comfort of our citizens, is only Gues- ! tion of two or three manifestations l Range News.

EXCITE ADMIRATION
American Troop Ships As
 fOniSh Europeans
Nine Thousand Men Transported d More Than Half Around inc World Without inc Loss of a Man-BeafS All Records.

Washington, March 24.-Within sixty
 days 6,000 American soldiers have
 sailed through the Mediterranean, pas
 the doors of the nations of Europe. AT
 object lesson in something more than
 numbers has been given. Ten months ago such a possession as a troop ship ,was unknown to the United States government. All territory was con tiguous. The only transportation with which the American quartermasters were familiar was on land When the opening weeks of the war found troops mObiliZing at Tampa, the government was obliged to charter coastwise craft scattered all of the way from New York to New Orleans. The boats wege e of various shapes and sizes. They were hurriedly transformed into trans ports and Shafter's expedition of 14,0O0 men got off for a three days steaming g after what, at one time, threatened to be endless confusion.
 Last week one of thsi new troop ships dropped anchor in Mania bay, afte: a trip more than half way arGuni the world and in the season of storms Of ;he 2,000 souls on board not one had sustained an accident of so much as a broken arm. When one of these Amer ican troopships stopped at Gibraltar. British officers asked tke privilege of inspection. They went aboard and with the thOroughness of experts pro ceeded tcg look over the arrangements to the smallest details. They eXaE- ined the sleeping quarters, the galleys, the exercise spaces, the berths, iI short every part of the ship. And when they had finished they told the officers that Great Britain, with all Of her ex- perence in the water transportation of troops, had no transports to coIn- pare with those which the American government had devised for the move msnt of soldiers to distant possessions They marveled when told that 2,0GO men had been conveyed across the ocean without an accident They ex- piained that the British government never moved such numbers Of soldiers on an ocean voyage withOUt expecting to lose one CT more disabled by acci- dents incident to sea travel.
 With 5000 on the way to Manila by the easterly route, the war department has had 5000 on the water by the western ncU'te. An army of American troops is moving across the oceans bound for a common destination and the achievement receives scarcely more than passing attention in the United States. To other governments this easy execution of great military transportation pro olem is a matter of much more comment and surprise than it is at home The military jour nals of foreign countries are discuss ing it as they did some of the feats of

Providing the ships which Chilli wishes to sell are the new ones, the United States government could not do better than become a pur- chaser, as they comprise some of the very best craft that have been turned out of English yards The sale would be of immense benefit to Chilli, a coun- try, the finances of which have fallen into embarrassment almost entirely in consequence of an excessive expendi- ture in the fighting services, especially the navy. It is said this decision was reached Thursday, the cable message announcing it coming from Valparaiso to the Chilian minister here

THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
New York Wants Them But Chicago is
 Determined to Have Them.

The New York Board of Trade and
 Transportation has unanimously 1 adopted a resolution ito bring the na- tional democratic and republican con
 yentions" to that city next year. In order to make the resolution effective, 1 the president of the board is authorized to appoint a committee of twenty-five,
 with power to add to their number and also to appeal to other organiZa-
 tions and citizens and to the city au- thorities for cooperation, to the end that the city of New York shall secure the holding within it's limits of both the great national political conven- tiOnS in 1900.'
 Of course this committee will go right ahead wasting postage stamps and a vast amount of printed material regardless of the fact that there is, by almost universal consent. but one con- vention city in the United States, and that city is located at the southern ex- tremity of Lake Michigan in what is practically the geographical, industrial and commercial center of the United States.
 Of course nobody expects that New York will recognize the strength O. Chi cago's geographical claims as the only national convention city. As a matter of fact the convention might as well be held in Honolulu as in New Yorir- so far as geography is concerned. 1t is unreasonable to expect the delegates from the great west and middle west to journey to the Atlantic seaboard to participate in a national convention. The United States no longer consists of the territory east of the Alleghany Mountains.
 Moreover, Chicago is also the politi- cal center of the nation. The states west of the Alleghanies will not only name the party nominees, but they will elect the next President as they have done for quarter of century. Not over 120 electoral votes out of the 447 in the electoral college will be con tributed by the states that may be said to be adjacent to New York state, while Chicago is easily accessible from. every state in the union.
 The center of population in the United States is located in little town not far from Indianapolis, Ind But the Hoosier capital is so near Chicago that for all political purposes the city on the lake may be regarded as the center of population.
 The last republican national conven- tion was held in St. Louis as a con cession to the republicans of the south west. just as the convention of 1892 was held at Minneapolis to please the republicans of the northwest. The next republican and democratic con- ventions will be held in Chicago to please the people of all sections, be- cause this is the center of population and political power, and because it IS the only city west of the Alleghanles that possesses adequate facilities for handling a great national crowd.

SANARELLI'S GERM.
Is Said to Be That of Hog Cholera.
Instead of Yellow Fever.

Washington, Aug 2.-The present out
break of yellow fever at the Hampton
soldier home, will give the army med
tcal corps an excellent opportunity to
extend an investigation they have been
prosecuting for two years past into the
nature of yellow fever and the best
modes of combating it. The marine
hospital service which is in charge of
the quarantine in the infected district
has been doing similar work and DR..
Wasdin, the surgeon, placed as an eX-
pert in the Hampton home is one of
two marine hospital surgeons who re-
Gently returned from Cuba, where they
studied the disease in its permanent
home and made collections Of culture
for future observations.
The Medical World at present is very
generally of the opinion that the spe-
ciic bacillus of yellow fever has not yet
been identified. Recently the announce
ment was made by SanarelH, an Italian
scientist that he had segregated the
germ of yellow fever and this claim was
later affirmed by a German bacteriolO-
gist after somewhat less exhaustive re-
search.
Surgeon General Sternberg Of the
army, who is regarded as one of the
foremost American bacteriOlOgiStS made
a close study of the subject, and isolated
a bacillus, which he did not claim was
the specific germ of yellow fever, but
one worthy of a closer study, calling it
for convenience the bacillus X" The
army medical museum under General
ject and Drs. Reed and Carroll recently
issued a preliminary note on the mu-
seum's Investigations in which they set
forth the statement that so far as de-
termined the bacillus of Sanarelli and
the bacillus x. of Sternberg were iden-
tical in their general form and their
effects on the lower animals and that
both seemed to be identical or very
closely allied with the bacillus of hog
cholera. The LESSONS produced by the
three germs were the same and samples
of the Inspected fever germs submitted
to some of the most expert scientists
in the line of agricultural chemistry and
animal industry were pronounced to be
the germ of hog cholera. This seemed
to leave the question open, but Drs.
Reed and Carroll are continuing their
researches with the intention of locat-
ing the active principle in yellow fever,
whatever it is. Meantime DR.. Doty, the
health officer at New York, claims to
have confirmed Sanarelli's discovery
and is carrying on a series of curative
experiments with a serum for the de
struction of the Sanarelh germ The
army medical officers say. however,
that no germ which can stand a tenn
perature of 361 degrees below zero can
be the germ of yellow fever which is
known to cease it's ravages on the ap-
pearance of frost. The SanarelH germ
was recently submerged in frozen air
and came out ready for business. The
report of Drs. WaSdin and GOddings of
the marine hospital on their Cuban re-
searches has not yet been made public,
but it is understood that they agree
with GararplIf
