THE CITY BEA U7rFUJ.

The public meeting held Wednesday evening at the rooms of the New Fla ven Historical Society was notable for the number of large taxpayers preSent Tor the enthusiastic support given the plan to adopt an expert plan for the Identification of the city and finally Tor the solicitude shown for it's future. It was obvious that all present real tzed that the moment had come with the opportunity to undertake well considered and mature policy for the purpose in hand. From that point of view It may well be believed that the meeting will be historic in the annals Of the town.
 Aside from the fascination which the plan has for the residents of the city. the enthusiasm with which 1t is SUD- ported can be accounted for on the ground that it is comparatively the easiest problem that has yet been pre-
 
 sented to the people. The library build- Ing which would stand at the western end of the majestic pile, is the gift of noble-hearted woman. The New Ha- ven County Court House which it is suggested by the committee of the Bar Association should stand at the eastern end, would be built by the county, which is well able to bear the expense. In the center, according to the tenta- tive plan under consideration, would be built the hall of records which the city of New Haven needs and which it will never again have like opportunity to acquire under such attractive condi. tions. Tn other words these quite unus- ual conditions make the financial problem involved just so much easier 1 to solve. It is impossible to accurately estimate | ths value to city like New Haven of | such an imposing group of buildings. 1 The man who studies the proposition from the mathematical point of view which can be expressed only in dollars and cents will lose altogether the points involved It is not an investment, on the one hand nor is 1t, on the other hand, an advertisement of local en- l thusiasm and enterprise. It is rather an undertaking which shall gratify a longing for the beautiful, meet the practical requirements of the ,ity and county and stimulate confi- ience in New Havens future. New Haven has arrived at period in her history when broader outlook is If she is to go ahead, and not az behind in the march of communi- ies forward. The people resident here possess unusual advantages over the of most cities but they do not 1 ealize 1t, and they never have realized l {. Therefore that which will awaken E hem to their own good fortune should 'e enthusiastically supported. And 2

THE GRoPING DKMoCR4rs.

The question, Are there any Demo-
 crats? continually comes up. And
 when there seems to be a few the
 question, What are they? rises. One of the latest performances of some of
 those who claim to be genuine sur viving Democrats is to put forward for the Presidency Mir. Thomas P. Gore, who has been nominated by the Democrats of Oklahoma for the United States senate. MT. Cores chief quail fication, in the eyes of his admirers land promoters, is that he is blind
 Upon that misfortune is builded the hope that he will be carried into the White House on an irresistible wave of public sympathy. MT. Cores other recommendation are that he Is fully as progressive as MT. Bryan and a better debater, and being a westerner, with no entangling alliances with the North or South. he will not arouse the opposition of either the conservative Democrats of the East or the populis tic element of the West.
 This Is good argument It might also be claimed that MT. Gore is not a bit binder than Brother Bryan has shown himself to be. In fact, what is known of him indicates that he can see farther and better without eyes than Brother Bryan can with them. Still, it does not now look probable that MT. Gore will ever be President.

 one fact emerges as the chess board of European diplomacy is watched A generation ago the master players were civilians serving monarchs who reigned but dld not rule To-day there is not one British statesman who eclipses the British King, no Italian diplomat who counts for as much as King Victor Emanuel, no German who outweighs Emperor William, and no Austrian or Hungarian who brings things to pass with the surety Or provision of Emperor Francis Joseph Nor is the situation different in this country or Mexico or Japan. Roosevelt, Diaz and the Mikado rule. If France is not mentioned 1t Is because the presi- dency there is constitutionally without power or much importance.

THREE VISITORS DECIDE TO CAST
 LOT IN MONTGOMERY.
One Chicago Man to Purchase suburban Property and Another Plans to Manufacture Cement
 Veneer Blocks.

Among the many who have recently come to Montgomery subsequently to the advertising of the city by the Com mercial Club are Charles F. Sturte- want, of Chicago, Benjamin Ives. of Chi- cago. and George E. Joslin. of Missouri, who will make their homes here.
 Mir. Sturtevant is a civil engineer and comes to Montgomery at the invitation of the Commercial Club, after a cor respondence from the publicity cam paign being conducted by the Club in behalf of Montgomery. H
 MT. Sturtevant expects to purchase a twenty-acre place in the suburbs for Q home and a farm on which he will raise vegetables and poultry. He expects that later he will take up with the manufacturing committee of the Club three industrial propositions, in all of which he will himself take a liberal amount of stock. He will confer with the committee at an early date.
 MT. Ives. who Is also in Montgomery because of the publicity campaign and resultant correspondence, will of possible) develop an interest and orga- nize company for the manufacture of new cement veneer block which Is creating quite a stir among the buil- ders of the North. The Manufacturinr Committee of the Commercial Club will SoH1St WItn MT ives dL O'CLOCK thfS afternoon. The Committee Is composed of John W.

New Bullet a Money Saver.

New Bullet Money Saver.
 Major John L.. Boer, inspector of fire. arms for the Michigan National Guard. believes he has found an invention in the way of an improved bullet that if perfected and adopted may result in the saving of thousands of dollars to the State annually. The invention is the mechanism of D. H. Armstrong. of Grand Rapids. who has been work ing and studying along these lines for several years and made a number of inventions which are already on the market. Nt
 'The average life of Krag gun Is only for .1,500 rounds of ammunition for slow firing said Major Boer. 'The life of the gun barrel has been short- ened much through the introduction of the smokeless powder, which generates so much heat in the barrel that 1t plays havoc. Armstrong has an invention which, I believe, he has now perfected. which protects that metal bullet by e silk-covered oiled wire in the rear. This Is also backed up by layer of asbestos which, when the gun is dis charged, ciinches over the end of the bullet. The asbestos prevents the fus- ing or melting of the lead, which ordi- narily clings to the inside of the gun barrel and wears 1t uneven until 1t has to be thrown out In addition to this advantage over the new one with the oiled wire oils the barrel at each discharge of the gun. Then. with the doing away of the melting of the lead. which formerly clung to the barrel. and the oiiing of the barrel, makes two great advantages. The Krag gun will only last for about forty rounds of ann- intuition under rapid firing. because of the heat generated and the spelling of the inside of the barrel. The new bullet can be manufactured, believe. for about $3 per thousand, while the old style cost some g per thousand. This will make great saving"

Pre.erye the Hartfera.

Admiral George Dewey has made a formal protest to Secretary of the Navy Metoalf against the granting of the re- quest made by New York committee that the Hartford, the flagship of Ad" miral Farragut. be turned into train ing vessel for the students of the nau- tical school of that city. Under date of January 23. Admiral Dewey directed the following letter to the Secretary of the navy:
 "Sir--I have the honor to invite your attention to subject which has been so authoritatively mentioned in the public press that I feel justified in re. ferrine to it. allude to the request made by a New York committee that the Hartford. Admiral Farragut's hiss toric flagship, should be turned over to them 10 serve as a training vessel for the students of the nautical school Of that city. As an ardent admirer or the great admiral and as one who had the honor of serving under him in all the enRagements of the Mississippi cam paign, I beg to enter my protest against such employment of his famous nag shin and to express my hope that this reouest will not be granted. In my opiinon the Hartford should be kept at fine Naval Academy. there to serve as sacreG relic of the greatest naval nero of inc civil war and to be kept for all time as an object lesson for the young midshipmen who are to be the naVai officers of the future.

A New Revolver.

A New Revolver.
 Tho bresent standard revolver, the f,alts sS. Is found too small calibre to do deadly or effective service required and it has been decided to adopt eith- CT and automatic pistol or swing-out cylinder, double-action reVolVer TOT tue army the caliber of the weapon to be
 45 using smokeless powder and round-point, metal patched bullet, The
 sS caiiber service revolver, using the .Iong' cartridge. In the Philippines, often failed to stop an enemy and It was, therefore, thought best to adopt a larger caliber.
 This may be all for the best. Many have always contended that the .SS service revolver was not sunlcientiy powerful for the work required or IL that Is, to stop an enemy, when hit In a vital spot at once. but was 1t ne- cessary to select caiiber as large as AS? Perhaps a cartridge of a smaller caliber, adapted to an arm or lighter weight and using a flat point bullet, could have been devised that would have been sufficiently powerful TOT every purpose. Supposing. however, that .45 caliber was required. mas the best type of bullet been selected that win give the most deadly effect7 There are few who will contnd that A flat point bullet would not have been
 
 far preferable
 The round point bullet has never been made that will give the same deadly effect that a flat point bullet would The round point rifle bullet that more often wounds than kills may be the very thing needed in the army; what might be exactly right for the rifle, which Is nearly always used at longer range might be entirely un- suited for a revolver or automatic pis- tol, which Is seldom used in action other than close quarters when any failure to stop an enemy might and usually would prove fatal. This being true, then, the bullet that would prove the most deadly would be the bullet that should have been chosen for the new arm that is soon to be placed in the hands of the soldier.

UNIONS WILL ACT
ON THE DEFENSIVE

There was n full representation OF
the fifteen trades last night at a meet
ing Of the Building Trades Mechanics
Council held at Mechanics Hall TO con-
slider the lockout situation.
The conference was long one, dur
ing which every phase of the lockout
was discussed. IL was unanimously de-
cided that the labor interests would act
on the defensive. for the time being AT
least, and. await the action Of the En-
ployers' Association for future develop
ments.
1t had been the intention OF a num-
Der of the representatives to secure ac-
ton by the council on the proposition
to order a general strike movement
against the Employers Association and
call of every union man working on
q Job where any member Of tho several
trades pus under the ban by the lock-
out order had been locked out and In
this way meeS the lockout with a strike
order But calmer, conservative judg-
ment prevailed and il was decided to
stand pat" until later developments.
A canvass of the men locked out
showed the number 20 be lightweight,
all Of whom have been placed on union
contracts.
