YOrk-His Famous Weapon.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Richard Jor-
dan Calling, inventor of the world ia
nous Calling gun, died yesterday after
noon at the home of his son-in-law,
Hugh O. Pentecost, 249 West One Hun
dred and Seventh street.
DR. Calling studied medicine in his
youth, but never practiced. Early In
life he turned his attention to mechan-
ical invention. During the civil war he
began the designing of gun which
would make war intolerable. The first
gun he designed was made to fire i 200
shots minute
Soon afterward DR.. Calling perfect
ed metallic cartridge and gave an ex-
hibition in Washington which was SO
satisfactory that the government or
dered 100 guns. Since then the gun
has been perfected and sold to every
civilized nation. and to some that have
not been civilized. They have been
used in every war on the face Of the
globe since 1851.
DR.. Calling perfected his gun 30 that
100 shots could be fired in two and
half seconds, and by elevating the gun
he made 1t effective at two miles
Several years ago DR.. Calling turned
his attention to automobiles. His last
efforts were devoted to an automobile
plOw, for which he had great hopes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27--Adr, Bow~
On has signed the protocol for the set
clement Of the claims Of Mexico against
Venezuela.
The king of Spain is the person
named to appoint an umpire should the
occasion arise. The commission ID to
be appointed by May / and to meet by
June /. The Mexican claims against
Venezuela aggregate about 500, 600.
Advices received from Caracas are 70
the effect that the representatives there
OF the French. Spanish and Belgian
governments have approached Presi-
dent Castro regarding the claims OF
their countries and have proposed
scheme Of settlement independent OF
that which is now under consideration
by Mr.. Bowen and the Washington rep
resentatives of these nations.
In consequence President Castro has
suggested to Mr. Bowen that it would,
be advisable to refrain from signing
the French, Spanish and Belgian pro-
tocols until these governments signify
whether their representatives In Ca
racas or In Washington are to carry on
the negotiations. Mr.. Bowen has in
formed the Belgian minister and also
will make similar representations to
the French ambassador and the Span
ish minister here that IL they do not In
tend to sign the protocol which lie has
submitted all negotiations looking to q
settlement OF their claims must be
transferred to Caracas.
Naturally there ID strong desire ON
the,part of the Washington representa-
tives Of these three nations to secure
from Mr.. Bowen the same terms OBJ
tanned by the United States and the
other unallied claimant. nations They
realize that il their governments take
up the matter through their respective
ENJOYS at Caracas some contingency
may arise which will postpone indefi-
nitely the drafting of any agreement
with President Castro.

T0DAY's MASS MEETING
It Should Be a Record Breaker ard
 History Maker.

There is nc doubt in anybody's mind but that today's mass meetings at the Doris thcater at 10 o'clock will be the most enthusiastic gatherings ofthe kind ever held in this city and that they will in some measure be ia the nature of love faasts. The purpose is to fur ther an enterprise in which &-i are ir- terested and regarding which there is more unaninity of sentiment than on any problem ever presented to this peO- pie, the securing of water storage.
 At the morning session Judge Kibbey will make the opening address and he will be followed by four other well known lCcal attorneys. Tn the after noon it is expected four more local at tOrreys will speak, after which George H. Maxwell will make the closing ad- dress of the day and answer any perti- nent questions that may be asked
 The articles of incorporation of the Salt River Valley Water Users asso- citation, which will be the subject of all discussion, together with the methods of their operation, have been printed in pamphlet form and will be there for general distribution. By general dis tributiOn is meant that they will be given to all voters and water users who may apply for them. Printing costs money and it is not intended to distribute them among children and irresponsible parties, but it is desired that every person who may be interest eG shall have a copy and an opportuni- ty to read it and study it. But the main thing is to he at the meeting and be there early and stay late.

COLORADO MINING MEN
Speak Well of the Gold Coin and
 Arizona Mines Generally.

C. E. Wider and w. R. Shape of Grip pie Creek, who have been here for sev- eral days left this morning for the northern part of the territory with the expectation of returning a little later They are practical mining men and while their visit to the valley was mainly to visit a former acquaintance, they are always on the lookout for q good mining enterprise. Their visit to northern Arizona is for the purpose of examining certain properties they have in mind
 Having nothing more entertaining to do on Thursday they drove over to the Gold Coin mine south of Phoenix and were greatly interested in what they saw. \ few comments in general that they make on Arizona mines are pleas ing. One is that what there is in the country can be more clearly seen on the surface than in any other min ing country as the crOppings are so plain, while elsewhere as in the Cripple Creek district for instance everything is covered up and can only be discover ed by trenching at an expense uncalled for here. There are only two croppings they say in the whole Cripple Creek district. Another happy advantage is that Arizona can work her mines twelve months in the year. while in some Colorado districts there are three months of winter and nine months of very cold weather in each year.
 Speaking particularly of the Gold Coin they say they can make no ad- verse criticism regarding the plans or which it is being developed as the work seems to be in progress in the right place and is being done in the right manner. While they took no samples other than the mornings made during their visit they were greatly pleased with apparent values, showing the big dike besides which the shaft is sunk, to be highly mineralized. They are as well satisfied as they could be from a hasty visit that it is the croppins of an immense ore body which it will take but comparatively little work to thor oUghly demonstrate and block out. They declare it one of the finest pros poets they have seen and the money thus far spent would hardly be a cir cUmstance in the development of a big Colorado property where so much pre- liminary surface work is necessar ry. The dike is large on the surface and has every indication of continuing 10 the greatest depth at which mining is now possible The facilities for cheap reduction as well as cheap develop ment were also noted as oi the great est importance.
 While they were not visiting the mine with a view of purchase but merely for their own pleasure and sat- iSfaction they are pleased to say good things of any good property and hope to be able to find something similar somewhere in Arizona, that they can ] exploit themselves.

TERRORS OF THE
ST. LOUIS FLOOD

st. Louis, June Sword has been
received here at l O'Clock that levee

men, employees of the American Car
and Foundry works. lost their lives.
About $50 men. 1t is reported, are I'M
prisoned on a section of the levee that
Is slowly crumbling, and all means OF
es cape has been cut off. Word has
been sent to the st. Louis side to rush
the private yacht Annie Russell, to
the rescue. The Annie Russell started
to Black Walnut this afternoon. but
could not force her way against the
current. 1t is feared she cannot make
her way to Madison.
A small steamer from st. Charles
succeeded in reaching Black Walnut

terrified and in great distress for food
and shelter were taken from the ISL
and in safety All were rescued.
St. Louis, June Like millrace
the swollen Mississippi is surging past
st. Louis with stage of 1863 feet at
o'clock tonight, making rise of one
and one-half feet since the same hour
last night.
All Venice. Madison, portions of
Granite City and $1,000 acres of rich
bottom farming land are in the grip
of the flood north of East st. Louis.
Houses have been swept from their
foundations and sent adrift The dam
age already done is enormous and the
flood hourly reaches further inland,
more and more crippling railroad traf-
fic and engulfing additional homes,
farms and factories. The east approach
to Merchants bridge is reported to be
severely damaged.
All the farm houses and barns occu-
pying the lowlands across the river
from ST. Charles have been swept away
with but few exceptions. Three women
in one farm house refused to leave un-
til they had ripped new carpet from
the floor. They could not be again
reached.

Washington, June S.-Judge Advo-
cate General Davis has sent to the sec
retary of war an opinion relative to
various disputed matters of construc-
tion of the new militia law. One point
raised was whether section IA of the
militia act, relating to expenditure of
money for the militia, was not in con-
flict with the federal constitution, the
contention being that 1t would take the
militia from the control of the states.
General Davis points out that the new
militia law does not diner materially
from the present law, and that all that
will be necessary is a change in the
forms for accounting to be made to
the Treasury Department.
A more important point raised con-
Germs section 15. which provides for
the participation of the militia of the
several states in maneuvars and field
instructions of the regular army, but
with further proviso that the COM
mand of a military post or camp and
of the officers and troops of the United
States stationed where such maneuvers
occur shall remain with the regular
command of the post, without regard
to the rank of the commanding or
other officers OF the militia teml ora
rily encamped there.

lions of the national guard as partici-

Columbia, S. c., June Though
the great flood of water is passing on
to the ocean laden with debris of ev-
ery description and the swollen
streams are subsiding in the Piedmont
region. the losses of life and property
are increasing and a conservative es-
innate tonight places the property loss
at not less than $3.5O0,OOO. The most
conservative estimate of the dead is
eighty. At Clifton alone 100 mill op-
eratives are missing from the village,
and all are believed to have been lost.
To-day's development in the devas-
tated mill settlements at Pacolet and
Clifton, on the Pacolet river in South
Carolina. magnify the horrors of the
situation there.
The town of Union, South Carolina,
Is to-day totally isolated.
At Converse thirteen dead are re-
ported and forty-one at Clifton No. 2
mill. At Clifton No. 2 twenty-six
homes are destroyed. thirteen at Cliff
ton No. l and twenty at Clifton No. 3.
The loss at Clifton's three mills will
approximate $2.OOO.000. At Pacolet the
loss is near $1.000,000. The greatest
want among the survivors is at Clifton,
where 500 are destitute.

IMMENSE LOSS INFLICTED BY
SOUTH CAROLINA CLOUDBURS1

Following is the summary OF the

damaged; Pacolet warehouse. totally
destroyed, $500 bales of cotton and
4,COO bales of yarr swept down stream.
At Pacolet a Presbyterian church.
hotel and number OF mill cottages
were entirely demolished. The prop
erty damage is in the neighborhood of
100000.
The mayor of Charlotte to-day issued
an official call for relief. About $500
has already been raised here by private
subscription.
The flood was due to mighty cloud
burst along the headwaters of the
Pacolet river, in Polk county. North
Carolina. The crest of the flood when
1t reached Pacolet was sixty feet high.
The mills were located along the
banks of the stream in deep valley
and they caught the full force of the
flood.

nate in the maneuvers or operations 90
SO for the purpose of improving their
discipline and efficiency. and that III
such participation they act under the
orders of their respective governors.
While SO engaged the several organiza-
tions of the national guard. he says, re,
main under the control of their seVeral
commanders-in-ch and not having
been called forth in the manner pre-
scribed in the constitution, do not pass
under the command and control OF the
President as commander-in-chief OF the
land and naval forces OF the uhlteu
States.
He holds that the enlisted men OF the
national guard are not entitled 10 IN
creased pay in virtue of previous ser
vice in the militia, but says that onl-
GERS who have served five years in the
militia are entitled under the law TO
the same ten per cent. increase In pay
that is provided for officers OF the
army.
The Judge advocate general says that
in applying section IS, the drills and en-
campments which took place in any
state or territory during the year ended
December 81, 1902, should be consid-
cred in determining the right OF the
state or territory to participate in the
benefit conferred by previous and pres
ent laws.
