The District Commissioners to-day issued the January, and arrived at the naval experimental | following order in compliance with the act of station several weeks ago. The testing was under the direction of Lieut. Austin M. Knight, inspector of ordnance, assisted by Messrs. Wil- ‘mer, Gleason and Dashiell. of the navy. The representatives of the Pittsburg steel casting company present were W. G. Johnston, presi- intendent; John ae » treasurer; Chas. Bailey, assistant sn} it; Joseph Mullanphy, foreman; fohnaon. civil engineer. W. T. r, Geo. Bailey, Wm. Hainsworth. jr..and B. Kremer were also of the party. Before the regular test was made a preliminary round, with a reduced charge, was fired for the purpose of fitting the gas-check pad and of raising the temperature of the gun. Fifteen minutes later | the regular test was begun. it being posed to fire ten rounds as rapidly as bie. The charge used was the regular se: round for the 6-inch —. 48}¢ pounds brown prismatic wder. charge should give to the pro- jectile weighing 100 pounds an initial velocity of 2,000 feet a second, with a pressure in the bore of 15 tons, which is not an unusually severe test.

The breech-plug and rear portion of the gun were sent to the rear about 100 feet, and the muzzle and chaise about 20 feet to the front, All the intermediate parts of the gun were broken into fragments varying in weight from a few pounds to several hundred pounds, The shelter for the gun and platform on which the gun was placed were completely wrecked, many of the huge logs of which the shelter was composed ing cut entirely in two. The pressure gauges were recovered in- tact, and showed the pressure to have been slightly over fourteen tons to the square inch. It was said the construction of the gun carri ¢ and other preparations for the test cost the orerainent between €5,000 and $6,000. Naval officers who witnessed the test | said the experiment proved that Bessemer cust- steel has not the elasticity nor the tensile | strength nevessary for great guus. It was anid | the Pitteburg people who carried away a frag- | ment of the steel for analysis have not been en- | tirely hopeful of the success of their gun, and that the recent test of the steel casting in Washington, where it was finished, did not come up to their expectations as showing it to be capable of resisting the pressure to which they knew it would be subjected. At the pre- | limmary test the gun behaved splendidly, which greatly encouraged the visitors. It car- ried 11 tons pressure to the square inch, with | Pp on } an initial velocity of 1,700 feet a second. No flaw was observed in -the metal, the failure of | leer ie being attributed to inability to with- | 8 the immense strain placed on it. Mr. Jobn Irwin, treasurer of the company, said he thought the Standard steel company's gun which is shortly to be tested at the proving | ground would meet with better results. This | gun, which was made at Thurlow, Pa., is of | — steel and is 2 tons heavier than the Pittsburg gun, and in his opinion may stand the pressure required in the test. OFFICIAL INFORMATION, The only information of the accident re- ceived to-day at the Navy department was an official telegram to Commodore Sicard. chief of the burean of ordnance, briefly stating that the gun burst in the first round, but nobody was injured. Commodore Sicard estimates Congress of August 27, 1888, regulating the platting and extension and naming of streets. The regula- Soe ea, aeered by Capt, Symans, to whom matter was referred, and were to-day adopted by the Commissioners. All subdivisions of land must be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia before being recorded im the office of the sur- ‘veyor, special assessments, dc, have been paid. No subdivision will be approved {unless all taxes, assessment ay ropert, aa cluded are paid” = aici No public alley in the cities of Washington and Georgetown shall be less than 10 feet in width. In case an alley has but one outlet its inner end must be made large eno ch to per- mit ‘and carts to turn around. No land shall be subdivided into lots less than 12 feet in width. No subdivision of land outside the cities of Washington and George- town will be approved unless the streets and avenues therein conform in width and general direction to the same streets and avenues in the city of Washington. STREETS AND AVENUES. Wherever practicable streets and avenues will be in exact alignment with the streets and avenues of the city of Washington and of equal width. Streets not in alignment with the streets of Washington shall be not less than 90 feet in width and shall be distant from each other mot less than 300 mor more than 600 feet. No minor street im a square jshall be leas than GO feet in width. The existing avenuvs of the city of Washi mn | shall be extended as nearly as practicable in continuation of their direction within the city, and of equal width, and all subdivisions must provide therefor. Ex avenues may be deflected beyond the city limits whenever the Commissioners may deem advisable, Besides existing avenues and their extensions, other avenues will be provided for in all subdivisions, whenever the Commissioners may deem | Recessary to make the subdivisions con- form to the several plans of the city. No now avenue will be less than 120 feet in width. If deemed necessary or desirable a freater width, up to 160 feet, may be required y the Commissioners, CIRCLES AND PUBLIC SPACES will be required to be laid out and dedicated } to the public wherever the Commissioners may deem the same necessary to make a sub- division conform to the general plan of the city of Washington. Subdivisions laid out in conformity with these rules and regulations and approved by the Commissioners, will in general, form the basis for the subdivision of adjoining and neighboring lands.

Major Lydecker and Lieut. Townsend Before the Court To-day. After devoting two days to the reading of the record the military court of inquiry re- sumed the taking of testimony this morn- ing, Major Lydecker was called and asked whether his testimony of November 30, to the effect that packing was paid for during the past year atso much per cubic yard for what was actually done, applied as well to former years, He replied that it did, and explained how the estimate of the amount of packing re- quired was made in advance by the assistant engineer. When asked if there was an undoe excavation made by the contractor through carelessness would the packing be paid for in full, he replied that ordinarily it would, but in one case there was an exception made, when Capt. Symons refased to make such a payment, The check upon undue excavations, be said. was the judgment of the officer in’ charge, and the fact that the contractors removed ali Tock inexcess of the cross sections taken, at their | Own expense. The cross sections, he said, were made by Mr. Coryell, up to the time of his dis- charge. as a basis of payment. It was Mr. | Coryell’s duty to make the cross sections, al- — the work was done occasioually by Mr. erlin. EXCESSIVE EXCAVATION. He was asked if it was not a constant tempta- tion to the contractors to make excessive exca- vation in order that they might be paid for the additional packing, and why the contractors should be paid for packing unnecessary exce- vations He replied that if it had been discovered that the excavations were unduly large the con- tractors would have been required to fill the excess at their own expense. This was dono | in the case referred to. “Who id be the person to decide whether there wa sive excavation?” “Eventually 1 would have been, but the mat- | ter would have been brought to my attention | by my assistant, or by Mr. Coryell when he was employed.” LIECTENANT TOWNSEND WAS RECALLED and given an opportunity to make any correc- tion of his testimony or to make a statement im regard to Major Lydecker’s testimony.
