days of depression at close TO $4,000
900, and liabilities of some 14.000,0 900,

LAST OF THE
WAR GOVERNORS
William Sprague Of Rhode Island
Is Now Past Eighty.
WAS PRESENT AT BULL RUN.
His Third Election as Governor Was
by a Practically Unanimous Vote.
Twice Chosen United States Senator.
His Financial Troubles.

William Sprague Of Rhode Island,
sole survivor OF the twelve governors
who upheld Lmcoln's hand through the
perils Of 1862, recalls with a chuckle
that he was hissed in the streets and
denounced as traitor" for the most
patriotic act of his life-the very act
which he now regards as his surest IT,
tie to place in his country's history.
1.-The 'Copperheads,' he said recent
ly, Ibid not approve OF the meeting of
the loyal state executives at Altoona on
Sept 25. 1862. and we had to take a
lot of abuse in return for our indorse-
ment of the presidents proclamation.
And to think he added sadly, Il am

Soon after the battle Of Antietam
Lincoln issued his proclamation warn
ing shareholders that TX they did not
lay down their arms within three
months the slaves would be set free
Almost Immediately in two days time
in fact-Andrew G. Curtin, governor
Of Pennsylvania, suggested to mem
ber OF the presidents cabinet that 300,.
600 additional troops should be raised
and that 1t would be an admirable plan
to call together the governors Of the
loyal states The matter was laid be-
fore Lincoln. and Lincoln said, LET us

mon of Wisconsin, Kirkwood of Iowa,
Martin of Indiana, Pierpont of West
Virginia, Tod of Ohio. Berry Of New
Hampshire, Blair of Michigan and
Sprague Of Rhode Island.
Governor Sprague was probably one
of the youngest men ever elected in
this country to the chief place In
state. He was but twenty-nine years
Of age when in 1860 he was chosen
governor of Rhode Island at crisis In
the history of state and nation. His
term was for one year only. At its
conclusion he was re elected, and nine
days later Fort Sumter was fred on.
Rhode Island and Sprague were the
first to respond to Lincoln's call for
troops That the little commonwealth
was able to do this was due to the
governors wealth no less than to his
energy and patriotism. He Led his
men at the battle of Bull Run, and be
cause Of his bravery under fire and
his liberal contributions to the cause
Of the north he was again chosen gov
ernor by vote which probably has no
parallel The whole number Of ballots
cast In the election was 11,264, Of
which Sprague received 1l,199.
Elected to the Senate.
In 1863 he was elected United States
senator.
At the dedication of the Ohio monu-
ment to Commodore Oliver Hazard
Perry, native of Rhode Island,
Sprague was accompanied by an an
cient volunteer military company. The
eve.lt was celebrated by ball at the
Weddell house, at Cleveland. o., where
the governor met for the first time
Miss Catherine Chase, daughter OF
Chief Justice Salmon p Chase.
On his return to Rhode Island he be-
came more actively engaged in raising
troops and forwarding them to the
front, and meeting Miss Chase again
In Washington, he was married to her
In November of 1868 The wedding
was attended by the president and his
cabinet, the foreign ministers, and
members OF congress. 1t was said to

IMMENSE GUN
TO GUARD CANAL.
New FOurteen-InCh Weapon
Tested by Experts.
EACH SHOT COSTS $3.50
ProjectiIes Used Will Penetrate Any
Hattleship Armor Yet Manufactured
Up to a Distance of Seven Miles.

New York, Nov. 6.-War depart
ment experts who are at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds for series OF
tests OF a new fourteen-inch coast de-
tense gun, believe that the larger
weapon is destined rapidly to super
sede the twelye-inch bore cannon
The fourteeninch type, it is expected,
will be placed In the Panama canal
fortifioations, in Honolulu and in Man-
liza harbor, as we'll as throughout the
New York harbor defenses.
AS compared with the twelve-inch
gun, the fourteen-inch type does not
appear to have much greater weight
or size. but in efficiency 1t has marked
advantage. The old style cannon is
good for only seventy shots, whereas
the new gun will stand 25 discharges
before 1t is ready for the junk pile.
Furthermore, the construction. being
partly of wire. Is much less expensive.
The projectile. which weighs l,e00
pounds, and is sixty-five inches long,
is go per cent larger than the twelve
inch shell. and the bigger weapon has
30 per cent larger range.
The fourteen-inch gun, as installed
at Sandy Hook, weighs fifty tons,
while the eight OF the carriage CON-
plete Is 286 tons. The weight of all
the parts the gun that move is
262 tons, and the weight of all Of the
recoiling parts is 100 tons. Each shot
that is fred uses four bags of smoke
less powder, weighing each e!ghty-five
pounds and costs $3.50. The gun It.
self represents an outlay OF $3.50, 600.
