Chinese Naval Plans.

The resUscitation of the navy has
often been planned by the Chinese au-
thorities since the Chino-Japanese war
of 1S94-5, but owing to financial diff
ficulties none of these plans have so
far been realized. At present China
has only three cruisers of the smaller
type, some torpedo boats, and seven
gunboats stationed at Shihchuan. It
is believed that a concrete plan for
the new navy will be established dur
ing the next fiscal year. Shipbuilding
companies of various countries are al
ready moving actively to secure orders
from China. The Mitsubishi and Ka-
wasaki dockyards of Japan are also
taking steps to obtain their share.
He Sounded the Charge.
PARIS, Aug. An old man of
eighty eight, Guillaume ROLAND, has
Just been made an officer of the Legion
of Honor for deed of heroism upon
the battlefield which he performed SIX
ty-six years ago. 1t was in Algiers.
ROLAND was bugIer in the chasseurs

the French ranks after one of the most
desperate battles in Frances history.
His regiment was charged. The Arabs
rushed over it like cyclone over

Again they charged, and left but if

Military Supplies Pouring In.

Honolulu folk have little conception
of the great mass of military stores
which are pouring into Honolulu Every
transport brings a lot of materials and
many of the regular steamers drop
tonnage off. The materials are gem
orally boxed and there is little evil
dence on the outside to tell what is in
side. But Honolulu S army storehouses
are filing up with ordnance of all
kinds and impedimenta sufficient to
form the nucleus of a great war base.
Much of the stuff is never seen by
local army officers as the marks on the
outside indicate that it is for storage
and not to be opened.

Defects in Ammunition HOSTS.

One of the questions which will
shortly engage the serious attention of
the naval authorities is whether danger
to battleships has been increased by
the new type of ammunition hoist in
stalled on vessels of the Atlantic feet
This is type of closed ammunition
hoist and while it furnishes additional
protection against explosion, it is APP
pretended by some of the service OBJ
servers that should an explosion occur
the damage would be much greater
than under conditions where the open
ammunition hoist was used Under the
new system the turrets are closed in
and repetition of the disaster on the
Missouri would be of far greater effect
than occurred even on that ship. The
new situation has been under consider
alton by the naval board of inspection
and survey.

questioned the lad. "Is there no tune

"Yes,'' said ROLAND. ''Then blow it,
or your life is Forfeit answered Alb
del Kader ROLAND was about to
throw down his bugle and bid them
take his life when a sudden notion,
half heroic, half born of the imperti-
nenee of the Partisan street boy,
caught him. He smiled, stepped out,
put the bugle to his lips, and, as loudly
as he could, blew the charge. 1t turned
the tide of battle.
Later in the day ROLAND was told
by his captors as they hurried him
away with them in their flight that the
French had, after all, been victors, and
eight months later when he was releas-
ed from his captivity the cross of the
legion was his reward. A few months
afterwards he had left the army and

Testing Rifles and Sights.
At the instance of Gen Crozier, chief
of ordnance, a number of officers of the
army are conducting a series of expert
ments at the. proving grounds at Sandy
Hook, n. j., for which four rifles have
been especially treated. The question
has arisen as to the best twist to give
the rifiing of these small arms to pro-
mote accuracy, and it is necessary TO
determine that by close expert examl-
nation.
The guns are taken on the range ana
fired at 1900 and 1000 yards, the twists
in the various rifles being from one
turn in ten inches to one turn in eigh-
teen inches. So far as the experiments
have been conducted, the eighten-inch
turn twist gives less accuracy than the
ten-inch one. Between them there is
not much choice, although there are
evidences that the twist of one turn
in twelve inches shows somewhat SUI
perior results.
Incidentally, there was tested a new
telescope sight, and very material re-
| suits were reported from the use of
| that instrument. The sight enables the
marksman to choose his target plainly
at 1900 and 1000 yards, and the pre-
| liminary report submitted to General
| Crozier indicates that the accuracy of
firing has been improved by this sight.

SENATOR WADLEY SWORN IN
Appointee of Governor Donaghey Takes
the Oath of Office.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-Special.-
Senator J. L. Wadley, appointed
by Governor G.. w. Donaghey to
fill the vacancy caused by the deci-
sion of the senate to recognize
neither o. H. Sumpter nor o. d.
Greaves as the elected representa-
tives in that body of Garland and
Montgomery counties, arrived in
Little Rock this morning and at
noon received his commission and
took the oath, answering the roll
call of the session with the other
senators.
The senate asked for a special
election to fill the vacancy to be
called within 80 days, but Govern
or Donaghey will take no action in
that direction until after he has
gone thoroughly into the new law
upon the subject. Senator Wad-
ley was given quite an ovation
this morning when he took his
seat The new senator is editor of
the Hot Springs Daily News.

Russellville is having a regular
Pindall- Hamiter controversy over
the Office of mayor. Upon the res
ignation of Mayor Reese B. Higgins,
Governor Donaghey appointed his
son, Floyd B. Higgins, to the Office.
A special election was then held,
at which Judge J. F. Bullock was
elected. Now the younger Mr..
Higgins refuses to surrender the
office, and Judge Bullock is ex-
pected to bring custer proceedings
in the courts. 1t is more than
probable that neither method OF
filling the vacancy is the correct
one, and that a successor to the
mayor should have been elected by
the city council, and was done
when a vacancy occurred in the
mayors office in this city last fall.

In commenting upon the suit
brought by Caldwell & Drake
against Thomas Cox, a former state
capitol commissioner, for alleged
SANDER, the Paragould Soliphone
says:
eff adverse criticism is calculat-
ed to damage their business, why
have not they instituted proceed
ings against Gov. Donaghey? He
has been most severe in his state
ments concerning the contractors.
He has branded them as thieves
and boodlers on every stump in the
state. He has seriously damaged
them. He did it Intentionally, be-
cause he thought the people ought
to be enlightened and because he
wanted to see honest work done
on the capitol. He has from time
to time reiterated his charges and
he stands by every assertion. If
the character of Caldwell & Drake
is such that it can be damaged,
Gov. Donaghey has certainly put
several crimps in it. He has chal-
lenged them to sue him for libel or
slander-dared them to do it. He
has thrown down the gauge of
battle at their feet and called on
them to pick it up. But they
wouldn't do it. Knowing he was
in possession of facts that justified
his strong language they wisely
ignored his challenges.

WORK ON COURTHOUSE YARD
Ground is Being Plowed Preparatory to
Grading and Improving.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY

Several men and teams are at
work today blowing up the court
house yard preparatory to grading
the grounds. As soon as the
blowing in completed, the grades
will be set by an engineer and the
work of grading begun.
Judge Lea is also planning to
lay considerable amount of con-
crete sidewalks on the grounds
when they have been graded.
The fencing and barn situated
around the Jail will probably be
removed, the trees trimmed up and
everything possible done to make
the naturally beautiful grounds
present as neat an appearance as
possible. Ii is also probable that
the ladies of Shakespeare club of
this city will undertake the work
of putting in flower beds, setting
out strubtery and otherwise beau
tifying the grounds, after the grad
ing and sidewalk work is complet-

pleasant meeting with Mrs. w. B..

gram especially adapted to the oc-
casion was carried out. The mem
bers responded to the roll call with

gan gave an enjoyable reading,
and Mrs. J. F. Weinmann read a
prophecy of Arkansas in 1925.
Misses Della Pence and Laura and
Sallie Harton rendered delightful
music. A two-course luncheon
was served, the ices and cakes be-
ing in the club colors, pink and

As a matter of fact, the report OF
Mr.. Stricken was not received un-
til several days after the legislative
committee had filed their final re-
port, but it was received in time to
defeat in the house an appropria-
ton of S325, 900 for the completion
of the capitol by Caldwell & Dra Ike.
Mr.. Strickler's report uncovers al
most as much rottenness in the con-
struction of the capitol as was
shown up by Major Sewell in his
report to Governor Dcnaghey.

ty and township local option,
which is an entirely different
thing. There are probably thous
ands of people who would vote
against the sale of liquor in their
immediate township or county,
but who do not favor tate-wide
prohibition. 1t IS extremely un-
fortunate that the prohibition fight
has ..been disorganized by cross
firing in it's own ranks, but it looks
now as if statewide prohibition is
doomed to defeat by its foolish
friends.

Passenger From Aiken, S. c.. Robbed
of Bag and Contents.

PHILADELPHIA. March. 19-The de-
tective bureau here last night received
a message from Wilmington. Del. that
a passenger on a Pennsylvania railroad
express train had been robbed Of $4,000
prior to the trains arrival in that city.
The passengers. who was on his way to
this city from Aiken. s. c., informed
the conductor that he had been robbed
of a travelling bag containing $4,000 In
money. He said that he left the bag in
the chair car while he went to the smok-
ing department.
When he returned he found that the
bag had disappeared. 1t is said that an
inspector of the railroad detective force
boarded the train at Wilmington and
accompanied the man to this city in or
der that he might have the chance OF
discussing the alleged robbery with him.
When inquiry was made at the Pennsyl-
vania railroad officials denied that they
knew anything about the case. The de-

are less. The rulnor. however. that the
