the Steamship Lucania.

New York, Feb. 16.-Lieut. Gen Mel
son A. Miles, commanding the United
States army, his wife and party, ar
rived here Sunday on the steamship
Lucania. The general. who has been
abroad five months, has, in that time,
been around the world

Atlantic for the general was the send
ing of a Marconigram to King Edward
VII, February 8, when the Lucania
was 80 miles from the Marconi sta
ton at CrookhaVen. Gen. Miles sent
the following message:
'Midocean greeting with best wishes
for happiness and health to his mai
esty and the royal family
To which the following reply was re-
ceived by cable on the arrival of the
Lucania in port Sunday:
Il have submitted your message to
the king. l am commanded by his
majesty to thank you for your good
wishes and to say for him that it af.
forded him much qualification to re-
ceive it at Windsor. (Signed) Knoll
lys."
With the general were Col and Mrs.
M. P Maus, Henry Clark Rouse, New
York; F. r. Wildorg, of Cincinnati;
Mrs. Miles and Sherman Hoyt Col.
Whitney was with the party when they
left this country, but returned some
weeks ago.

THE JURY DISAGREED.
Case of DR.. j. c. Alexander Came 70
An End.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 16.-After
being out 4S hours the jury in the
case of DR.. ]. G. Alexander failed to
reach an agreement and was dis
charged at 10 o'clock Sunday morning
On the final ballots the votes stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
viction. On the first ballot taken Sat
urday morning the vote was seven for
acquittal and five for conviction. On
the next ballot the vote stood to 4.
That was the ballot from that time I'M
til the jury was discharged, with the
exception of one or two instances. The
attorneys for the state have not de
cided what they will do.
There were several serious alterca-
tiOns during the consideration of the
evidence in the jury room, which came
very nearly resulting in blows. The
principal disagreement was between
Jurors James E. White and Robert F.
Lingenfelter, and the cause of the
personal feelings in the matter was
result Of the wives of the jurors being
permitted to visit them on Sunday,
February Z. On that day Bailiff Men
denhall permitted Mesdames White,
Brown, Davis, Theising and Lingen-
felter to visit their husbands and talk
to them in the presence of the bailiff
During the course of the trial Mr.
White acted as spokesman for the
jury when it was necessary to COM
TOuniNato with tho OOurt Mrc Whitn
and Mrs. Lingenfelter had conversed
concerning the trial before they saw
their husbands, and when they went
to visit the jurors Mrs. Lingenfelter
it is claimed, told her husband that
Mrs. White had told her that Mr.
and that he had been a warm personal
friend of Prosecutor Ruckelshaus
After the jury resumed deliberatiOn of
the case Mr.. Lingenfelter accused Mr.
White of having come into the case
with his mind prejudiced against the
defendant and told of the converse
tion with his wife. Hot words ensued
and the matter almost resulted in
blows before the interference of 9th
ers stopped it. This had a disquieting
effect on Mr.. White and later in the
day, when he engaged in a heated ar
gument with Jurors Brown and Theis-
ing, who were in favor of acquittal, he
was attacked with heart failure The
perpleXing question in the minds of
the jurors, they say, was whether DR.
Alexander had guilty knowledge of the
fact that the body of Rose Neidlinger
had been unlawfully taken from the
grave. The majority of. the jurors
state that the instructions of the court
on this question settled the matter in
their minds. The jurors say that the
matter of the insanity of CantreIl and
the instructions of the court on that
subject received very little cOnsidera
ton at their hands. The evidence of
Cantrell was mentioned but few times
during the deliberations of the jury.

WRECK OF THE MAINE.
Hundreds of Americans Observed
the Fifth Anniversary.
The Cuban Veterans Took Part, But
the United States Legation and
the Cuban Officials Were
Not Represented.

Havana, Feb. 16.-Four hundred
Americans Sunday afternoon observed
the fifth anniversary of the destruc-
ton of the Maine, proceeding to where
the Maine now lies with a flag draped
with crepe and a wreath which was

aster. Representatives of the Cuban
Veterans assOciati ton took part in the
ceremony and brought the finest of all
the floral offerings.
The exercises were purely memorial

States legation was not represented,
Minister Squiers holding that any pos.
sibility of stirring up the feelings Of
the Spanish residents by public exer-
cises commemorative of a bitter Incl
dent in the war ought to be avoided.
The Cuban government officials
finally decided not to attend, but a
government launch accompanied the
procession to the wreck United
States Consul Rublee, Vice Consul
Springer and some representatives of
the United States army were present
A United States quartermaster's
launch led the way to the wreck, fol,
lowed by two small steamers loaded
with Americans and numerous little
craft. All about the harbor American
and Cuban flags were flying at half
mast. The strains of the dead march
played by the band of the United
States artillery corps fioated across
the water as the procession made its
way to the Maine. After completing
the decoration of the forlorn wreck.

Collision on Cincinnati Southern.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 16.-The
Florida limited on the Cincinnati
Southern railway, north-bound, collid-
ed head-on Sunday morning about 5
o'clock with south-bound freight
train drawn by two engines near Rod

city. Both trains were running about
25 miles an hour, but the engine crews
jumped in time to save themselves.
Engineer Parker, Of the Florida linn
tied, and his fireman were slightly
hurt. The collision, it is alleged, was
due to the crew of the freight train
overlooking their orders and pulling
out on the main line, thinking the
Florida train had passed. The three
engines and baggage cars were badly
damaged. Aside from being severely
shaken up, none of the passengers
were hurt.

used by the Russians, the Turks, the Ital-
ians, the Japanese, and, in fact, in almost
every part Of the world.
l was in Germany at the time of the
Dusseldorf exposition, where the Krupps
had samples OF their best guns, as well
as the, great armor plates which have been
penetrated by them. The guns we're Of all
sizes, some small enough to be mounted
on the back Of a mule and others which
sent forth steel projectiles a foot thick
and as high as your waist, weighing half a
ton. Today the Krupps make single guns
which weigh 120 tons, and which, notwith-
standing this weight, are manipulated by
such machinery that a child could operate
them.
Notice some Of the guns as they lie on
the floor of the shop. Their barrels are
so large that a twenty-pound baby could
crawl through them. and the weight Of
each is so great that 1t would take 100
horses to haul them. See how they are
handled They are carried from one end
OF the shop to the other more easily than
you bring in an armful Of wood to the fire.
That little man under the roof touches a
button and a twelve-inch gun is picked up
by a travelling crane and carried from one
end of the shop to the other.
II we had a week we might study the

making Of the guns. The iron Is knesded
like dough. After It comes from the fur
mace the red-hot mass Is pounded into
shape as a blacksmith pounds a horseshoe.
The hole is bored into It as easily as a boy
bores out a popgun, and the hard metal is
planed down as a carpenter planes a board.
The Krupps take fifty tons Of the toughest
metal and handle 1t as easily as the black
smith, the carpenter and the boy handle
their tools. Everything is done by ma
chinery and everything must be s~cientif-
ically correct. 1t takes a long time to
make a gun, and the biggest of them, IL 1
rightly remember. costs as much as 500, 900.
But 1 cannot begin to describe the pro-
cesses. The machinery Is that Of a thou
sand workshops under one head. Krupp
has his own school of inventors, where
men are always experimenting and assay
ing. He has a number of laboratories, and
at Mappan there are large experimental
grounds, where gun and projeetiles are
practically tested. Shortly before he died
the kaiser was here examining some new
guns and only thirty were present when
the tests were made.
The .Krupp workmen are OF all classes.
1t takes an army Of clerks for the Offices,
and there are hordes OF commercial travel
ers on the road. He has more than 200
mechanics in his building department and
dozens of architects and subarchitects The
thousands of men in the shops are dressed
in blue jeans, and many wear wooden clogs.
They appear we'll fed and more than ordi-
narily intelligent. They are up to the best
Of the French laborers and better looking
and better dressed than those OF Sheffield
and Birmingham.
AS 1 went through the shops 1 asked
something as to wage and hours of work.
The usual day begins at 6 and at 8 the men
stop a quarter of an hour for rest and q
cup of coffee. They then work on until
noon, when their wives or children bring
their midday meal. They have an hour
and a half at this time, and then work on
until 4. Then there is another fifteen
minutes for rest and coffee, or beer, when
they go back and work on until 6, putting
in on the average a ten-hOur day.
The men are paid by the hour and not by
the day, and they are glad to work as long
as possible. There are, 1 am told, no trade
unions connected with the works, and so
far no trouble has been had with strikes.
Wages are much lower than with us, not

through them all. See this yard filled with
steel rails just from the rolling mills.
There are miles of them. They are being
shipped to different parts of Germany and
also to Russia and the South American re-
publics. Further on is an Enclosure full Of
mighty cannon. Tho unmounted guns are
scattered over the sod as thickly as the
leaves of Vallombrosa. Next door are steel
plates for ships, and there at the right arc
bridge materials ready to start out for all
parts Of the world. The Krupps have their
drummers on every continent and in al
most every country. l have met them in
South America, in japan and in China, and
they are now working every part Of South
Africa.
Among the great products Of this fac
tory are gum and munitions Of war. The
Krupps have been making guns for more
than half a century. Alfred Krupp, the
grandfather Of the man who died a few
months ago. made cast steel cannon as far
back as 1S47, and in 1859 old Kaiser Will
helm gave him his first order for the Ger
man army. l an told that the first cannon
were not q success, but those which fol-
lowed were, and the Franco-Prussian war
was fought with materials supplied by the
Krupps. Today Germany gets the most of
its war supplies here. and Krupp guns are

THE RAILROAD.

Elsewhere in this issue is repro
duced part of an interview given by
Alonzo Trip, superin tendent of the
Tonopah and Rhodes railroad, to a
San Francisco paper. Mr.. Trip is
quite specific in his statements re-
garding the company's wish to hurry
the road to completion and also con-
firms the report that the Southern
Pacific will assist the enterprise
This should prove convincing to the
most skeptical, and if the company
succeeds in carrying out its present
declared intention, the road will be
in operation by the middle of next
May. Bright days are surely in
store for Tonopah for, with two mills
in course OF construc ton, the re-
duction works OF the Tonopah COM
pany to be commenced in the early
spring and the railroad now an as
sured fact, the camp will soon take
the place in the mining world to
which its unprecedented mineral
wealth entities it.

COMMISSIONERS
LATEST ESCAPADE,

EDITOR BoNANZA:-The commits.
sioners of Nye county advertised for
forty cords of wood for the court
house and the county hospital at Bel
mont. But one bid was received, or
at least opened. That bid was made
by Jack Glow and was promptly re-
iected. The bid was for $40 per cord.
The commissioners then passed an
order directing the sheriff to procure
forty cords of wood for said court
house and hospital, and the sheriff at
once let the contract to the relatives
of Chairman Rice of the commission
ers, at twelve dollars per cord. Is
this case of nepotism?
TAXPAYER
Yes, it is right to call it nepotism,
but our informant, if he wishes to be
understood by the commission, should
send each member a dictionary. AS
he may fail to do this, however, we
will explain for their benefit that
nepotism means an undue fondness
of, and desire to favor, ones rela-
tives, especially ones nephews.
Our own comments upon the Incl
dent will be couched in simpler terms:
Lincoln has said that you can fool
some of the people all of the time and
all of the people some of the time,
but the county commissioners have
not even succeeded in fooling some
of the people some of the time. Dur
ing their entire ''incumbrance" Of
office, blunder has followed blunder
with a rapidity that has made the
public wonder whether the gentle
men in question ever take time to
eat or sleep. Blind egotism and ig-
norance has seemed to govern the
body from the first and the next
county election will show what the
people think of their record. If &C
cused of having any knowledge on
any subject whatever, it is our belief
that the county commissioners would
be honorably acquitted by jury Of
their peers-assuming of course that
their peers could be found
