NEW vi A FAILURE
Fails to Do What the Inventor Claimed
for II.

Falls to Do what the Inventor Claimed
for 1t.
The test of the Gathmann gun and
shell took place November Is at the
army proving ground Oh Sandy Hook,
New York. and resulted in q failure.
The shell did no material damage to
the target. The failure of Inventor
Gathmann's theory is ascribed by him
to an imperfect defamation Of the fuse
in the interior Of the shell. The army
officers, however, claim that they have
found convincing proof to the contrary
and say that everything in connection
with the test was as perfect as 1t wa
possible to make it in accordance with
the inventors ideas. The board has
decided to give a second trial to which
the inventor Is entitled. The second
Gathman shell for the test will be over.
hauled in the presence of Mr.. Gath
man for the purpose of guarding
against imperfections. On the other
hand the test made later with the reg
ulation gun was a complete success.

seeking recovery Of health she has
come TO consult with the federal au

revolutionary government Mt the time
the monarchy was overthrown and no
attempt has since been made to reim-
bursc her for the loss of the crown
revenues, amounting to some 500, 900
q year. The territorial legislature
passed IA bin approprlating $3.50, 900 for
the crown ] rds, but President Dole
vetoed the bill ON the ground that
there was not snficicn. money in the
treasury to pay 1t. subsequently the
Legislature offered tn grant her n pen
sion Of So, 900 n year, but she refused
to accept the money for the reason
that il would place her on the list of
charitables, n step that was exceeding
ly rcpugnant To her.
Before the annexation Of the Islands
she was advised by competent attor,
neys to submit her claims To England
for arbitration. The crown lands are
owe a million acres In extent and are
worth about Sl5, 900, 900.

JeHries an Easy Winner,

In one Of the most unsatisfactory
prize fights evcr witnessed in this
country, James j. Jeffrics proved the
victor Mt San Francisco " Gus Rub
lin, the Akron giant. In the fifth
round, of what was to have been a
twenty-round struggle, Rubin wilted
and then surrendered to his peer to the
utter amazement and disgust of the as
sembled thousands. No one was more
surprised at the outcome than Jeffries
himself, who asserted that while he
had delivered one telling blow in the
second round did not expect to win the
victory SO easily. Ruhlin's sole expla-
nation of the outcome of the fight is
that he received IA chance blow which
utterly disabled him and that Jeffries
persisted i'm fighting him low.

THE ZENITH ROUTE
Completion of q Hoe Line to the south

Railway Expansion.

west " NIuEvGl III NeSttTh
Railway Expansion.
With the dawn Of 100. the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific will open its new
line to Texas and the great South and
Southwest.
This new line is an extension of the
branch OF the Rock Island, extending
to Liberal. IN the southwest corner of
Kansas. Inc extension from Liberal
uns In an almost straight line to FL
Paso, Texas, the terminus. The dis
lance from Liberal Ia FL Paso is 452
miles. A remarkable piece Of railroad
construction Is to be found on this ex-
tension, being n perfectly straight
piece Of track, without n curve, for the
distance Of las miles, thus becoming
the longest riecc of straight track in
North A:nc:.oa.
With the completion Of this new cX-
tension, the Rock Island will become a
greater and more potent factor In the
railroad world. 1t will not ally add
many miles to its already large mile
age, but it will give TO the Rock Island
the "Short. Line" over its own tracks,
iTOHl NniCuEO W Ia IdSU, iSAuS, WV
with the connecting lines at FL Paso,
will become the "Short Line" between
Kansas City and the Pacific Coast, ne
well as between Chicago and many
important points in Texas and Mexico.
At the present time two gangs, COM
prising several hundred men and teams,
are working with all possible speed to-
ward each other from either end of the
route. Those on the north have about
seventy-five miles further to go before
reaching Santa Rosa, the meeting
| point; while those building northward
from FL Paso are nearer by some few
miles to the goal. 1t is expected that
they will meet each other during the
latter part of December of this year,
and what time remains of 1901 will be
employed in putting on the finishing
touches to this immense extension,
which will make the Great Rock Island
the ''short line between the Middle
| West and the South.
