$1oo,ooo Just to Try New Gun.

From the New York Journal.
 It Is going to cost the government SS1 300 to erect a target for new gun if Congress will stand the expenses. The target will be used for experimental purposes only and will be dead loss after it is shot at.
 The total experiment., which will be con ducted at Sandy Hook, will be interesting $ and unique. The gun to be tested is called the Gathman gun and is designed for coast defense purposes. It is forty-four feet long, weighs fifty-nine tons and is made of nickel steel
 It is claimed for it that no armor is strong enough to resist it's shells, and that any battleshp getting within range of 1t is doomed to certain destruction.
 In order to test this 1t Is proposed to build a target presenting the shape of the side of a battleship. The target will be 400 feet long and twenty-five feet high twill have steel masts and fighting tops seventy-fve feet above the ground. It will be propped up on shore at the Sandy Hook proving grounds, with sufficient braces to furnish the resistance that a ba ttleship would pre- sent. The target will be eighteen inches thick and thirteen inches of this will be armor plate treated by the Krupp pro- cess. Up to this time no gun has been in vented capable of discharging a missile that would penetrate such thickness of armor

BUDGET OF NEWS
 FROM WASHINGTON
Assassination of Auditor Morris
 Generally Discussed
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN
Senator Jones Will Not Retire from Craftsmanship of Democratic Ma tonaI committee-Henders
 Will Succeed Himself.

Washington, December 25-(Special.) 1.-The assassination of MT. Morrison, the auditor of the treasury for the War Department, has caused some discussion as to the advis- ability of taking precautions to prevent repetition of such a tragedy Some there who think government officials are en- tirely too accessible and who argue that there should be greater care in admitting visitors to their presence. Government off, cials are certainly quite accessible, but not withstanding that watchmen are stationed at every entrance to a public building to keep out cranks. It is difficult to see how any precautions could have prevented Sat urday's tragedy. Mcdonald, the assassin, was known to all the watchmen in the building occupied as Auditor Morris office. As government employe he had easy ad- mittance, and even had there been in opera tion careful system of scrutiny he would probbaly have gotten into the auditors office without difficulty. The fact is that the Morris tragedy was one that could not have been foreseen, regrettable though 1t is.

LAzzIEsT MAN ON EARTH.
Too Lazy to Remove His Hands from
 His Pockets.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 All the records Tor lazy men pale into insgnifcance when compared with the feat of Calvin Braley, who kept his hands in his pockets until his arms were parayized.
 He has long been called Cant Move" Bradley because of his known disinclination to use his hands.
 Last evening he entered Dr. Nachard' S drug store to borrow money. Of course his hands were in his pockets.
 Dr. Nachard offered a nickel Bradley moved forward Then suddenly a look of the most awful pain spread over his face. He jerked his body about and contorted in various ways all over the store. His hands remained in his pockets. The people in the drug store thought. he was crazy.
 What's the matter?" shouted Nachand
 1T can't get the nickel. My arms won t move," cried Bradley in an agony of fear.
 Then Dr. Nachand comprehended. He got down his galvanic battery, and after fastening Brady down to a chair applied it to his funny bone" at either elbow. At first there was no response. Then gradu- ally a look of ineffebable joy and peace spread over the tramp's face. This his hands came out from his pockets with a. jerk and, bowling he tried to rise from the chair.
 Later his arms were -paralyzed

Jones Not in Retiring Mood.

Senator Jones, the chairman of the Dem- ocratic National Committee, Is getting quite accustomed to stories of his proposed re- tirement Before the Kansas City conyen- tion, for a year or more preceding 1t, stories developed on an average of once a week that Chairman Jones would retire or be de- feated for reelection. He always laughed at them and was reelected without the least difficulty, though there was an under current against him at Kansas iCty Sena- tor Jones is not in retiring mood just now
 He is the head of the Democratic organ ization, and that committee is composed of men friendly to him. Naturally many Dem ocrats who are dissatisfied with his man. agement of the campaign, for which MT.
 Bryan should bear at least equal responsi- bility, want him out, but he is not inclined to grant them that favor, and unless he breaks down or he dies between this and the campaign of 1904, he will be Democratic National Chairman, at least until the Ma tional Democratic Convention of that year.

Henderson to Succeed Himself.

While there is an undercurrent- of feeling favorable to the election of some one other than David B. Henderson of Iowa. the pres ent Speaker to the Speakership of the Fifty-seventh Congress, there Is no present possibility or likelihood of his defeat Con- gressmen are timid about expressing discon- content with his administration of the af- fairs of the House and the leaders of that body are agreed that Colonel Henderson,. and the present officers of the House. The latter, with the exception of the sergeant-at- arms have served since the beginning of the Fifty-seventh Congress. Henderson was elected Speaker for the first time time with the beginning of this Congress.
