PREMATURELY DISCHARGED.

Newport, R. l., Dec. 7--The prems,- ture discharge of a ten-inch gun at Fort Wetherell, one of the defense works on Narragansett Bay. today de lnolished the gun carriage and- rlat- form ana hurled to the ground the en- tire gun detachment, including Lieu tenant Colonel J.

 These two officers had their eyes and ears temporarily affected and Lieu5en- ant Ralston sustained severe cuts on the face, but none of the soldiers were injured, except for a few bruises caused by falls.
 IT is thought that a defective i.rimer was the cause of the unexpected dis charge. The shell passed through the lip of the parapet, wreckin.g it and continued out to sea.

TIE END IS NEAR Fact Which St. Petersburg
 Is Recognizing BADRUMORUNC0NFIRMED
But There Is an Inclination to Accept as True That the Japanese Are Firmly Established on 203 Meter Hill and Wiping Out the Fleet.

St. Petersburg, Dec. $. 2:20 a. m.- Foreign telegrams received here stat ing that the Japanese have succeeded in mounting heavy guns on 203 Metre hill, are regarded as seriously signifi- cant and have created a deep impress sion aC the war office.
 If the reports of the sinking Of the Russian warships in the harbor of Port Arthur are confirmed, it destroys the last hope of a sortie and when the end comes nothing remains but to sink those that remain in deep water to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy.
 The importance of 2C3 Metre hill to the garrison is evidenced by General StoesseIs deseperate efforts to recap ture it.

PLATTs REPRESENTATION BILL.
The Reduction Proposed is the Lowest
 Possible.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The statement accompanying Senator Platt's repre- sentation bill folIows: This bill is framed ur1n the lowest limitation pos siDle and treats as excluded from the suffrage cnly the male negro citizen over 21 years cid classed by the twelfth census as ilIiterate under the 1900 cen sus tables published since the ap- pointment act Of January, 16, 1901.
 The aggregates actually excluded from the suffrage in each of the states mentioned are in truth larger than those used as the basis for this act.
 All negro votables. O-e. male citizens over 21) regardless of illiteracy should be deemed to be excluded and the rs- duct:on in representation, figured from thef same tables would be nearly twice as great as stated in this bill
 Tt requires no evidence beyond the notorious historical fact for congress to adjudge what cannot be denied that the class of negro iIliterates, to the ex- tent stated. is practically excluded from suffrage in the states mentioned in the bill, no matter what may be the nom inai provisions of their respective con stitutions for election laws. The bill therefore presents the smallest reduc- ton practicable and is very conserve tive.
 The appOTtiOnment remains as fix ed in 1901 and the reduction is to cease when the facts shall warrant it..
 The bill has been prepared under the direction of the commirtea on national affairs of the republican club of the city of New York, the club having at it's frst meeting after the presidential election unanimously voted to request congress to take immediate action pdr- suant 70 the representation plank in the national platform"

A SLUMP IN TIE MARKtT
It Came Without Warning or Appar.
 ent Cause.

New York, Dec. 7.-Today's violent slump in the stock market came upon sanguine speculative element like a bolt from the blue sky. The fact that runaway bull markets always oVerrun themselves never fails to lessen the surprise of the spectators when the fabric crumbles. NThe fabric could not, of course, be blown up to it's diaphan- GUS dimensions if there were not en- thusiastic buyers who continue to buy all stock offering and to bid up prices in unpounded confidence that the Hp- ward course will never be interrupted. Neither would it be interrupted if spec ulators were able to go on buying in definitely.
 But when the time comes that dis trust obtains entrance to their con sciousness and they attempt to sell their holdings it develops that the buoyant rise has been due to their own buying and there is nothing left to sus- tain prices Wt.eE that ceases. That is probably the true eXplana ton of the slump today, which took on fairly pan icky proportions at times. But the crumbling of prices led to the usual industrious efforts to assign the cause in some CIV development in affairs that might be an index of the de- cline ir the prosperous conditions of business and Industry. There was no such n.ws forthcoming. There was q rise in the call lean rate late in the day to the highest of the season, but it seemed to be as much an effect as cause from the fall in prices.
