The performance of your battleship Oregon in running 13.000 miles around South America , was remarkable for that reason , and itB present trip across the Pacific ifc equally remarkable. But judged by the usual naval stanQRrdB an armored cruiser would have been much better equipped for these long voyages It has the Kpned , the coal , and at the same time sufficient armor to make its defensive powers almost equal to those of the ironclad " Fra-ner T"nvorik Torpedo ItontM.

Tenn. , March 12. General Talker and Attorney Hamilton , who were ! wounded In a shooting aflrny nt the court 'house ' here last night , are testing easily. General Walker was shot through the shoul der and Bide , the bullet penetrating the .lung. The wound is. n dangerous one , but I not necessarily fatal. j Attorney Hamilton's wound was peculiar. ' The bullet entered live inches above the juavul una ranged downward. Ordinarily it | would have penetrated the stomach nnd , caused his death , but Hamilton had not ] dined and , because his stomach was ro- .lazed . , it is thought , the ball missed a vital | point and IE lodged near the spinal column. 1 His condition IE , however , serious , and the j phj'biciaiiE hold but Blight hope of his re covery. Various stories are in circulation OB to Just who did the shooting in the court room. One version is that General "Walkei did no bhooting at all Another is that i Stenographer Diivis shot 'Walker , while I otherb say Walker WOE shot Tiy J. R. Hirk- I man. one of his friends. Neither of the wounded men will make a statement in rc- { corti in the nftnir. " 1 KIPLING IS CONVALESCING j Meet * Hit. TTTO Little Children nnil j Guin Strencrth EIIOUKU to TuL.r j Solid rood.
