The subject of smokeless powder for mili- tary uses occupies considerable space in the annual report of Brig. Gen. Benet, chief of | ordnance, to the Secretary of War, which was made public today. The report says: “In the | absence of a suitable small arms powder there has been no substantial progress in the |matter of a small caliber rifle be- |yond what has been heretofore reported, except in the negative gain resulting in the ap- parent abandonment, or tendency that way, | abroad of all powders but the so-called smoke- less. This change, involving the return to a grained powder 18, if permanent, an appre- ‘eiable gain for all in economy and effi- jeiency of the product in the man- ufacture of small-arm cartridges and may have been brought about as much | from the difficulty of obtaining uniform and | satisfactory results in the way of velocities and ' pressures with the compressed powders as from | the more valuable properties of the smokeless. | No American has yet submitted for trial a smokeless powder, and experiments with | compressed powders have shown the same ‘eccentricity as developed abroad tending to | destroy confidence in the final production of a serviceable compressed powder cartridge. All effort, official or otherwise, to date to obtain a smokeless powder has been abortive, and American powder makers and chemists have not yet awakened to the lucrative opportunity presented to them. ORIGINATED IN AMERICA. “There is reason to believe, from an applica- tion made to an officer of the (ordnance) department more than ten years ago, that | smokeless powders originated, like many other | inventions, in America, only to be brought to the attention of the world in foreign countries, aithough in this instance the person concerne: met with encouragement, of which he did not avail himself, “In view of the present status of the powder estion it is not deemed expedient to pro- uce a small caliber rifle tor com- pressed powder cartridges. Such a rifle, however excellent in itself, would be inferior to foreign arms using smokeless pow- ders, and consequently unsatisfactory to the army and the country at large. Itis believed, however. that all the elements entering into the problem, except the powder, are ready for use the moment this powder is obtained. A .30 caliber rod bayonet Springfield rifle has been made, and a rod bayonet .30 caliber magazine arm is now in progress of construc- tion in anticipation of the final acquisition of the much-needed powder, so that no time may be lost in presenting for trial both single load- ing and magazine small caliber rifles.” THE VETERANS DIVIDED. Two Sets of Officers Chosen by the * Department of the Potomac. Department of the Potomac, Union Veterans’ Union, met on Monday night and elected the following officers: John Welch, department commander (re-elected); Daniel O'Neil, first deputy commander; W. P. Saville, second deputy commander; J. R. Whitaker, chaplain; John E. Carpenter, assistant surgeon general; John A. Ryan, officer of the day; M. M. Whit- ney, officer of the guard; F. A. Clark, assistant adjutant general, and H. L. Johnson, assistant quartermaster general. Maj. M. A. Dillon took exception to some of Commander Welch’s rulings and in conse- quence he and several of his friends left the hall and nominated the following persons as officers: J. C. De Putron, department com- mander; J. Weed Corey,first deputy comman- der; L. D, Bumpus, second deputy commander; Dr. Wm. Grinstead, surgeon yee Rev. W. G. Davenport, chaplain; John D. Brady, assist- ant adjutant general; Thos. D. Yerger, assist- ant quartermaster general, ‘The question in dispute will be settled by the national commander. se Rifle Practice of the National Guard. Gen, Ordway has issued a general order to the District militia announcing that a rifle gal- lery has been fitted up at 929 D street north- west for the use and instruction of the national guard.

Inspectors of rifle practice will im- mediately proceed to instruct the officers of their respective commands, and for this pur- pose all officers are hereby ordered to assembie at the rifle gallery as follows: First regiment, ‘Thursday, the 1th instant, and Thursday, the 21st instant, at 7:30 o'clock p.m. Second regi- ment, Friday, the 15th instant, and Friday, the 22d instant, at 7:30 o'clock p.m. Seventh and eighth battalions, Monday, the 18th instant, and Monday, the 25th instant, at 7:30 o'clock p.m. First Lieut.

P. Dole. ‘An exemplified copy of the will of the late Wm. P. Dole was filed today. He leaves house 1014 14th street to his wife, with an annuity of $1,000, and if she declines this she is to have her third, less the advances made, The re- mainder of the estate is divided between his children and grandchildren. 8. R. Bond and H. Van Selier are named executors and are to have $500 each for their services. pe Bites Conch His Killing Was an Accident. The coroner today investigated the cause of the death of David Reynolds, the tive-year-old child run over yesterday afternoon by one of Springman’s wagons and killed, as stated in Tue Sran. He decided that the death was ac- cidental, and directed the discharge of the driver of the wagon, Samuel Washington. It was shown by the evi ¢ that it was a habit with children to run through the sections of pipe on the wagon and jump off, and in this case that Washington could not have avoided the accident, or ALEXANDRIA, Reported for Tur Eve Tur Execrure L electric light com the city next Mon which they have sixty days in this city.

New York, Noy. 13.—Today’s is the most im- portant of the meetings of the two big base ballorganizations—the league and association. atthe Fitth-avenue hotel. The “magnates” have announced hitherto that the players would be ignored at this convention. But recently interesting rumors and complications bave arisen, One complication is the reported anxiety of Brooklyn and Cincinnati to enter the league. In such an event it is said the remain- ing association clubs will be combined with the brotherhood, TALKING IT OVER, Brooklyn and Cincinnati only wait for an in- vitation from the league. If these two clubs desert the association it is said that St. Louis, Louisville, Columbus, Kansas City and the Athletics will combine with the brotherhood to fight the league. The base ball men gathered in the hotel corridors at an early hour this morning to discuss the matter. Hot and fast was the talk, Loud was the argument and many the “‘ifs.” President Byrne last night was in close con- sultation with several of the league maynates in one of the parlors of the hotel. The result of the conference is not known, but it is believed to have some bearing on the admission into the league of the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs, eee VI ET ARMIS.

A Platform Full of Great Moral Ideas. THE WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION ENDORSES THE PRESIDENT AND POSTMASTER GENERAL AND CONDEMNS THE VICE PRESIDENT— THE PLATFORM FAVORS NATIONAL PROHIBITION. Curcaao, Nov. 13.—The national convention of the Weman's Christian temperance union did not come toan end until 1 o'clock this morning. Owing to the discussion over the majority and minority reports on the non- partisan question the reading of the protest prepared by Mrs. J. Ellen Fuster and the con- fasion attendant upon the following the with- drawal of the Iowa delegation from the con- vention, the consideration of the complete majority report of the committee on resolutions was not resumed until after midnight. As finally adopted the resolutions are as follows: “Asa National Woman's Christian temper- ance union in its fifteenth annual convention assembled, we desire to ascribe to Almighty God the success which has tosuch a remarkable degree crowned our efforts during the decade and ahals of our existence. We believe that under God the prosperity of our union is largely due to the systematic work done in our forty departments included under the general heads ore organization, preventive, educational, social, evangelistic and legal, the superin- tendents of each department being specialists | in their particular lines of work. “We recognize the fact that the foundation of all our work lies in the acceptance of the gospel of Christ by men and women, and be- lieve that even greater efforts should be made by our membership during the coming year long all evangelistic lines, “While discountenancing all union of church and state, we do affirm our belief that God in Christ is the king of nations and as such should be acknowledged in our government and his word made the basis of our laws, “We rejoice in the efforts that are being made in many states by individuals and the ublic press for the enforcement of Sunday laws and pledge our hearty co-operation in the manufacture of public sentiment along this line. We reindorse the petitiun tor 4 national Sunday rest law, and urge Congress to enact such a law for the District of Columbia and the territories, We also rejoice in the action of President Harrison in forbidding military re- views and parades on Sunday, and of Post- master General Wanamaker in the reduction of Sunday postal work. “We believe that the efficiency of temperance instruction in Sunday schools will be greatly increased by placing the lesson on some other than review Sabbath, and hope that steps will be taken to induce the coming international lesson committee to adopt such a change. “Believing that the best interests of woman require that she be fully equipped by earning her livelihood, we urge the securing of the es- tablishment of girl's industrial colleges and in- stitute: every state to be supported by state appropriations, “We believe that Congress owes it to the ter- ritory over which it has jurisdiction to enact @ law absolutely prohibiting the sale, manufac- ture or giving way of any intoxicating or alco- holic beverages. Also that the national gov- ernment should so amend the interstate com- merce law so as to prohibit the bringing of al- coholic liquors into prohibition states. “That as a Christian temperance organiza- tion we deplore the position taken by Christian America in regard to the introduction of rum into heathen Atrica, and pray that this sin and stigma may be speedily removed, “We believe it is vital to the temperance re- form that the principle of prohibition be made the dominant issue in American politics. We therefore give our approval to that party only which deciares in its platform for prohibition in state aud uation and stands in action for the application of the law. “Believing that much of the corruption of politics is made possible through ignofance, we tavor the establishment of an educational test for citizenship. “We reafirm our previous declaration in favor of the full franchise for woman and rejoice in the political emancipation of the women in Wyoming. “We commend the action of the various ec- clesiastical bodies that have recognized the eligibility of women to seats as delegates of their conventious and hope that in the near future all bodies of this character may be led to do likewise, . “We greatly rejoice in the victory of our principles at the bullot box in the new states of North and South Dakota and are especially glad that the dominant party in South Dakota has explicitly declared for national probibi- tion.” The resolution given in last night's dis- patches regarding the bar of Vice President Morton's Wasiington apartment house and ex- pressing “grief that the second officer of the government should thus openly ally himself with the liquor dealers of the nation,” was in- corporated as partof the above series. The Independent Order of Good Templars was rec- ognized as fellow workers and hearty appre- ciation expressed of the work of the Young People’s Christian endeavor society, THE SICK MAN. The Turkish Question Likely to Disturb All Europe, Lonpoy, Nov. 13.—Mr. Gladstone's declara- tion that the barborous misgovernment of the Turk is a standing menace to the peace of Europe is notconcurred in by the English press. The Daily News says al- though the very existence of Turkey in Europe is a blot on modern civilization, that blot can- not be obliterated without a deadly conflict in- volving all the great powers, so it is in the in- terest of peace not todisturb the sultan at present. The party in power has not only said through the marquis of Sulisbury that the Turk must be let alone but has even endeavored to excuse the atrocities committed in Albanian and Crete, OSMAN DIGNA AND SMOKELES® POWDER, It is a commentary on modern humanity that the rumored movement of Osman Digna north- ward has suggested to three of the powers that this will furnish the first and a most fortunate opportunity to try the new smokeless powder in actual warfare. While the unsuspecting Musselmaus are marching on with the equally philanthropic object of sweeping the Christians out of Egypt as the first step to establishing the religion of the’ prophet everywhere Austria and Germany are offering all the facilities in their power to make the interesting experiment @ success, and English officers are no less curious tu give the new ammunition a fair and intelligent trial.
