THE TRUE PORTO RICO
Coast Survey Is Ascertaining the Real
Shape of the Island.

New York, Nov. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
One of the most curious results of the
annexation of Porto Rico will be an al
iteration in the shape of the island as
it is known to the world.
The coast survey is now at work find
ing out what the real shape of Porto
Rico is, and it has already learned
enough to show that the old Spanish
surveys are not only unreliable and
worthless. but that they give posi-
lively false impression of the formation
of the coast.
Porto Rico has always had a strange
ly regular shape on the maps. Islands
take all sorts of shapes but it is IN
usual to find one in the shape of a circle
or a square. But Porto Rico has been
of an oblOng shape, looking almost as
block It has looked as if the sea, dis
gusted with the queer shapes assumed
by islands, had determined to throw
above its surface at least one island as
even in contour as a cigar box, just to
show that it could be done
The coast survey is beginning to find
out that Porto Rico has Irregularities
and considerable ones, like all other is
lands At the eastern end, which the
Spanish surveys make as sharp as the
edge of a board there is really a long
northwestern slant into the ocean. This
will make the island bigger than has
been supposed, unless, is is quite prob
able. the coast survey has to gouge a
big hole in the southeastern end of the
island. corresponding to the rise to the
northwest.
No one can tell what shape Porto
Rico will be when it is finally surveyed
as an American possession, but it seems
freak it has appeared on the Spanish

NEW GUNS FOR NAVY.
Krag-J orgeRson to Take the Place of
the Lee.

New Y ork, Nov. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
The task of supplying the navy with
Krag-J Orgensen rifles, in place of the
Lee rifles that have been in use in the
navy for some time, has begun, the
ordnance bureau of the war depart
ment having issued I 900 Krag- JOrgen-
sen rifles and 5000 rounds of ammuni-
ton to be served to the battleships
Kentucky and Kearsarge at the New
York navy yard.
Both branches of the service will soon
have small arms of the same calibre
thus greatly simplifying the problem of
interchangeable supplies of ammunition
when the army and navy are required
to operate in conjunction. Gradually
the Lee rife viii be discarded and re-
placed by them or small calibre rifles
The 5000 rounds of ammunition was
called for by the navy department for
experimental purposes and expert
ments are now being made with it with
a Colt machine gun. The army ordnance
department will continue to manufac-
ture the Krag- JOrgensen rifle for the
navy as they are called for. but the
ammunition will be manufactured by
the ordnance department of the navy.
The cartridge to be used by the navy
in the army type of rifle will be identi-
cal with that used by the army. except
that they Will be loaded with the navy
smokeless powder. The bullet will be
the same weight, the shell case will
correspond and an amount of navy pow
der Will be used to give the bullet the
same velocity.

WANT SOFT PLACES.
Many Chaplains Back Out When Or
dered to the Philippines.

New York. Nov IA special to the
Times from Washington, says:
The efforts made by army chaplains
who have been ordered to the Philip
pines to have their orders revoked have
excited considerable comment. The case
of Chaplain J. s. SeibOld. now stationed
at Fort Candy, Wn., is a case in point.
When the reverend officer discovered
that he would have to go to the Philip
pines he found that he was 3 years
older than he had supposed, having
been born in 1885 instead of 1888 as re-
corded on the files of the war depart
ment and was therefore old enough to
retire. He produced afidavits which
conclusively proved that he had been
mistaken in his age up to that time.
Accordingly, his orders were revoked
and he was retired.
Chaplain o. J. Naye has also applied
for retirement after being ordered to
the Philippines. A board has been or
dered to convene in this city for his
examination Chaplain 5. w Pilchard
has secured the revocation of his or
ders. Rev. w. d. McKinnOn, the Cath
Ole priest who served in the Philip
pines with the California volunteers,
and who is now a chaplain in the army.
has afforded a contrast to the action of
these clergymen by applying for duty
in the islands again, but he is the only
chaplain now in this country who has

WISE Who Succeeds William H. Barnes City Engineer.

Mr. Wise is a native of the state of
Minnesota. He was born in that state
nearly 80 years ago. His father was a
civil engineer before him, and he did
his first work in engineering at the age
of eight years. He is graduate of the
school of engineering of the University
of Wisconsin, completing the course in
1887. While he was in the university he
was assistant city engineer of the city
of Madison.
The greater part of Mr.. Wise's pro-
fessionaI work has been with railroads.
He has been with the Frisco. the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe, locating engineer
on the Rock Island, besides doing work
for other roads. He was also superin-
tendent Of construction of the big flush
ing tunnel at Milwaukee. Wisconsin,
and he has been city engineer at Mid
dlesbOrough and Pineville, KY
Mr.. Wise has made Topeka his home
during the past nine years, but while
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-11-14

his family has resided here all of that
time. he himself has been away much
of the time engaged in making railroad
surveys. He resides in North Topeka,
at 10 West Gordon street
Mayor Drew knew nothing whatever
of Mr.. Wise prior to the time that it
about to resign. AS soon as that fact
became public, Mr.. Wise's friends began
to pour in letters and recommendations
asking that he be appointed to take Mr.
Barnes place. Laid away in the may
Ors desk is a large stack of recon-
mendations, both from railroad men
who have had an opportunity to judge
Mr. Wise's work. and from Topeka peO-
pie who knew him. He will have a large
amount of important engineering work
to look after including the erection of
the new city building, and the extern
sion OF the pavements that will come
next spring and summer.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

A large audience at the Crawford
theater Monday night saw a new
"D'Artagnan." 1t was not the Salvini
"D'Arta gnan" or the ID Artagnan" of
any other of the actors who have es-
sayed the stage portrayal of Dumas
famous character. It was simply the
ID Artagnan" of Paul Gilmore, a young
man who has both ability and ambition
and his ideas of the character proved
a satisfactory Interpretation.
Mr.. Gilmore has youth and a pleasing
stage appearance to aid him in his
work in The AIusketeers' and he puts
plenty of Vivacity and considerable
comedy in his part with a dash that
does honor to the Dumas hero. He
shows the natural surprise of the rus
tic sufficiently, and proves himself
equally as earnest in Iove-making as
in fighting.
The audience liked Mr.. GiImore's
ID Artagnan" SO Well that after the
third act he was called before the cur
tain. Frequent applause accompanied
his work throughout the play.
Miss Elizabeth Stewart. as Anne
of Austria" has the most difficult work
of any of the members of Mr.. GilmOre's
supporting company. She is pretty and
sustains her part in an accomplished
manner The other members of the
cast are bad enough to be almost tire
some.
Considerable special scenery is used
in Mr.. GilmOre's production. The set
tings used in representing the royal
palace in the last act are especially
attractive.

BIG WAGES.
Steel Workers to Get From $3.50 to
$500 Per Month.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Beginning January
1 next steel rail workers in the South
Chicago mills of the Illinois Steel COM
pany will receive record breaking
wages. Owing to increased price of the
finished product, the men, some 300 in
number, will be able to earn from $3.50
to $500 a month. This unusual condi
ton is due to the fact that the COM
pany failed to readjust the sliding scale
of wages last June and under the con-
tracts a new scale cannot be arranged
before June l. 1900, and cannot go into
effect for six months after the date.

LOVERS SOLVE HARD PROBLEM
Young ST. Louis Man Takes His An
anced's Name To Save Her
Fortune.

Joseph II. Dillon. Il member of the
Sullivan Contracting company, filed a
petition in the circuit court at st. Louis
asking that his name be changed to
Joseph II. Dillon-GregG. He said he
was engaged to marry Miss Mary
Gregg, to whom her uncle. Daniel Hop
kins Gregg, who died recently, be-
queathed the greater part of his $25.-
GOO estate on condition hat she retain
the name of Gregg through life.
The intention Of the decedent, it is
supposed, was that his niece should re-
main single al the days of her life. The
young woman, Of course. wanted the
money, but she was equally DESTROYS of
securing Joseph II. Dillon for a hus-
band. The question: was submitted TO
lawyers, who advised the young man
TO append the name Gregg to the cog
nomen which ne already possessed, and
then when she was married her name
still would be Gregg and she couldlaw-
fully receive the money.
The petition was referred to Judge
Withrow. who promptly granted the
young mans request. Thus love found
a way out Of q very peculiar dilemma,
and the marriage will take place as
agreed upon before Daniel Hopkins
imposed a condition calculated
TO prevent ii.
