OBJECTIONS TO THE MAGAZINE GUNS—THEIR WASTE OF AMMUNITION. “I see that complaints are made that this gov- ernment does not follow the example of Great Britain in supplyiug its army with magazine rifles instead of relying on the obsolete Springfield rifle,” sald an army officer toa Sra reporter to-day. “I ine that these complaining writers have not kept very well posted,” he continued, “Some time sincéa board of experts made a careful @¢amina- Uon Of all magazine guns obtainable. Their tech- nical and theoretical inspection resulted in select- ing three magazine guns for fair and impartial trial. These were the Lee, Hotchkiss and Chaffee- Reese guns. A number of pieces were obtained and scattered throughout the army for practical test, by soldiers, After suffictent period of active use reports from all directions were re- ceived by the ordnance department as to tne rela- live advantages of the guns. These reports showed a slight preferenee for the Lee gun as compared with other two, but the opinion was em- pee expressed that the Springfield single loader Was preferable to any other piece for practt- cal use in the army. The principal advantage of the single loading Springfield is in the ‘saving of ammunition. The important question now occue Pxing we attention, not only our military leaders, ut those of Europe, 1s not how fast can a.gun be fired, but how can we supply our men in active engagement with sufictent ammu- nition to last any length of time. This is a hard question to answer When singie-loading guns are used, but with magazine guns in their hands the men would exhaust their ammunition in a littfe while and then be at the mercy of the enemy. The principal advantage of the Lee gun, which Eng- land has adopted, over the others is that it can be anged to a single-loader, so that an officer can prevent his men trom wasting all their ammunt- Uon, You see this matter has been carefully considered and tested. Things are different now from what they used to be before General Benet became chief of ordnance. He belleves in giving a project a practical test by the men to whoin It Sp- piles and not condemning tt by a theoretical board ecause the proposition Was advanced by some ved With the ordnance departinent.” Capt. Greely Embarrassed. HOW AN ENLISTED MAN OP THE SIGNAL SERVICE SUMMONED COMMISSIONER COLMAN TO A CONFER- ENCE. All of the enlisted men of the signal service on duty in Washington, with four exceptions, have banded together to aid in carrying out the plan of transferring the signal service to the agricultural department. A certain enlisted man, of the rank of second-class private, although but a short while in the service, has been particularly active in endeavoring to bring matters to a head. In his efforts in behalf of himself and his brother sol- diers he has displayed an amount of the Amertean stock in trade “cheek,” that would have done credit to a brigadier general, with everything his own way and hobody to say him nay in official matters pertaining lo lis own office. In the course Of Unts enlisted man’s active efforts he has occa sionally visited the Agricultural department and Hulked with te commissioner of agriculture about © proposed change. The otier day he desired to coufer with the coplinisutoner but was prevented by office regulations regarding hours, absence, &e., from hunting him up at the time.” Without hesitation he called up the department of Agri- ture through the signal oitice telepone, and sent word to tie commissioner that “Mr. wanted to see him at the signal office as soon as posstble,” He doubtless thought that the Commissioner of Agriculture could call more Ume his own than could a second-class private. It *was not a great While before the Agricultural department cari stopped before the sigual office, - Capt. Greely, the acung chtet signal officer, saw through his éffice Window the Commissioner of Agriculture alight, and Was ready to give him a polite and hearty Welcome when he entered the office, He was at & loss, however, to understand the object of the bo 4i, After afew minutes of desultory conversa here was an embarrassing pause, after which oumussioner stated that he would like to see Captain Greely Was more nonplussed Hie had no idea who was wanted, ever heard of the man. Without betray. ing is ignorance, he immadiately dispatched & messenger with directions for the man of that naiue W report. He Was soon found, and at once caine into tbe oMce unabashed. But things didnt work just right until the soldier gently inumated that lie and the commissioner would like to have @ Uttie private conversation, There was nothing for the acting chief signal oMcer to do but to fire himself out of nis own Mice, and he did it. ‘The wu gentieincn retired (0 8 window and had a few moments’ conversation, apparent a very portant nature. ‘The com departure, aud Capt. Greciy was allowed to return to ls desk, but the enlisted man had escaj leaked out. that the important int the second-class private wanted to obtain was how the commissioner of agriculture Intended class- fying the enlisted men of the signal service when they suould become civilian clerks under him, ‘The story hus caused a good deal of amusement up cy —_——+e+ Under the couct’s direction and cont ‘Where all crcditors and persons entitled tu distributive shares (or levacies) or a residue, are pene notified to attend im persou or by agent or attorney duly author- feed," with their claim aiaitint te catate property Vouched otherwise the autnistrators will take 8s benefit of the law against them: Provided, » ‘of this order be published once a for three in Wastinecn Law heportt aind Evenine Stal bows Dane previous vo the said day.
