WOODWARD & LOTHROP, Govenswexr Recetrrs Tonat.—Intornal revo- | This THE ORDNANCE BOARD. Gen. Schofield to Meet the Members Next Saturday. A QUESTION WHETHER THE PLANT AT WATERVLIET ARSENAL CAN BE UTILIZED IN PREFERENCE TO GIVING A CONTRACT TO PRIVATE MANUFACTURERS SOME TESTS ALREADY MADE. The board of ordnance and fortification, re- cently in session in New York, adjourned on Friday to meet on Saturday of this week, when Gen. Schofield, now on his way cast on his bridal tour, will attend the session. The board, which convened July 13, was in session for eleven days and devoted most of ite time to « consideration of the bids recently received atthe War Department from three private firms for the construction of 100 high-power guns for the army. Those bids were referred to the board by the department under the terms of the ordnance and fortifi- cation act of 189, which _ provided for the issue ~ of for theve guns, which, it went on to stipulate, “the Sec- retary of War isauthorized and directed to pur- chase under eontract, after due advertisement inviting proposals, and at prices which the board of ordnance and fortification shall ad- Judge to be fair to the manufacturer and for ‘the interests of the United States.” THE OUNS MUST BK ROGET. Tho board spent some time in a careful re- view of this provision, which not only author- izes but directs the Secretary to purchase. Heretofore the board has acted merely in an advisory capacity, but in this instance the law laces the expenditure of a very large sum 500,000—directly in its contro 1e phrase “at prices deemed fair to the manufacturer and to the best interests of the United States” complicates the case somewhat, as the presence of the Watervliet arsenal and factory 6s a gov- ernment plant introduces an element of unusual complexity. For example, it will bes ques tion for careful computation whether or not it will be to best interests of the United States to accept a low but fair bid from a yate manufacturer with the Watervliet plant idle, and therefore causing a useless consti; tion of interest on the vast sum there invested. and other views of the tinancial aspect the — probi renders the case of unusual delicacy, and the board, after discussing it at length for three entir. sessions and during portions of other day decided to postpone final action until there could be a full attendance. Gen. Schofield was therefore communicated with by wire and on his promise to be in New York ‘next Saturda; an adjournment was taken until then. It ise: pected that the matter will be definitely set- tled and an award made of the contract soon, as the will devote the entire extra session to this topic. It intends to make a thorough investigation of the state of affairs at Watervliet, so as to determine the ability of that establishment to turn out guns at prices bearing comparigon with those submitted by private firms. SOME TESTS MADE. During the recent session of the board a test was made at the Sandy Hook proving ground of the new explosive, emmensite, as an explod- ing charge for shells fired from pow- der guns. A shell filled with the explosive was in a seven- placed inch breech-loading rifle and fired into the water. The test was quite successful. The shell was fired from the gun intact and the ex- periment developed the fact that, though this substance is a high-power explosive of an in- tensity nearly if not quite ogee to dynamite, it can safely be subjected to the shock of being fired by the expansion of powder gas and wt ized as an Le gen e for projectiles. The next step taken wil! be to discover # fuse for these shells, and there-is every prospect that ina stiort time emmensite will obtain an official re- cognition as a leading explosive for military purposes. Gen. B, F. Cutcheon of Michigan, ex-mem- ber of Con; attended this sevsion of the ‘Soa ana eeember haviag recently been ap- Pointed such by the President under the pro- visions of the recent ordnance appropriation act. The military- members of the bourd have welcomed his advent, for he is thoroughly posted on military matters, eticularly'those relating to ordnance, which ‘has especially studied. He is familiar with all of the laws on the subject and has an inti- mate acquaintance with the state of the coun- try's defenses today. His presence on the board, it is thought, will have « beneficial in- fluency upon the minds of the appropriating powers of Congress, which have hitherto been suspicious of the estimates of army officers. erento Sucre Seis LINE-CARRYING PROJECTILES, Experiments to Be Mude to Test the Safety of These Inventions. In view of the explosion of a defeotively con- steamer City of Birmingham on the 10th instant, Secretary Foster has requested Gen. Dumont to notify the local inspectors of steam vessels at ports on the Atlantic and Pacitic coasts not to pass hereafter any gun or rocket required on #team veusels, under the regulations of the depart- ment, as a means of propelling “s line-carry- ing projectile,” unless accompanied by a cer- tifiegte of guarantee of the manufacturer thereof that such gun or rocket has been tested in such manner as is usually required to insure fhelr reasonable safety from explosion when e Gen. Dumont will convene the board of supervising inspectors of steam vessels in extra session in this city on Monday, September 28, for the purpose of making a “series of oxperi” ments with such in otilea Lerheg & Projectil the ans of pi T 2g projec redeare mitted. ‘The experiments are to be of such a nature as to determine, first, whether the rock- ets and other meaus of required projectiles are reasonably safe to be used with- out endangering the lives of thoee using them; second, assumil the safety of the means of propulsion to determine, so far as may be ble, whether: the use of such I ng projectiles can be successfully made draieis as @ weans of saving life from # stranded ves- vel on a coast where there is no life-saving sta tion or the equipments bel to such ate- tion, and the Hop | Changes in the Treasury Department. ‘Col Brackett has sent, in his resignation as chief clerk of the Treasury Department, to take effect on the Ist of September.

The republican national executive committee will meet at the Arlington Hotel tomorrow, Probably in the afternoon. The change of meeting place is sudden and unexpected. The place fixed at first was Philadelphia and quar- ters were engaged at the Continental Hotel. As late as noon today members of the executive committee did not know where they would meet. The report that a change had been made was current, but W. W. Dudley and Mr. Clarkson were among ‘those who were in doubt as to whether or not they would go to Philadelphia, Mr. = and this morn- ing engaged @ parior at the Arlington for the meeting. Mr. Clarkson came in on the boat from Norfolk this morning, expecting to take the train for Philadelphia. UNCERTAINTY IN TRE MORNING, At 11 o'clock, he said, he did not yet know where the meeting would be heid, but that some one had told him that a change to. Washin; had been made and be bad telegraphed to New York to Mr. Fassett, the secretary, to find ous about it.: About 1 o'clock this afternoon a Stax reporter saw Mr. Dudloy. ‘That gentleman said that he was preparing to go to Philadelphia, that he had received no Notice of the change and did not know where the meeting would be held. TT WILL BR HELD HERE. Later in the afternoon Mr. Quay said posi- tively that the meeting would be held at the Arlington tomorrow, and that be thought that the hour would be 4 in the afternoon. He refused to say anything further about bis resignation. The reason for the change of place of meet- ing is not given, but it is understood that there is strong element in ihe committee in favor of making Washington their political hena- | the quarters. Moreover, it is said that there isa Purpose to avoid the appearance of Pennsylva- his domination, and therefore. sir. ‘Quay pre- ferred Washington to Philadelphia. OPPOSED TO QUAT'S RESIGNATION. There is said tobe an attempt on hand to Prevent Mr. Quay’s retirement. There is no doubt about his intention to resign, but a num- ber of committeemen are in favor of refusing to accept his resignation. ‘The movement in this direction is said to have given rise to the air of mystery surround- ing the subject of the meeting.

Commissioner Dougiass’ Keasons Why He Cannot Agree With His Colleagues. Some time ago the Commissioners received an application from 8. G. Casussa for a permit to erect a fruit stand over the area and inside the railing of the Howard House at 6th street and Pennsylvania avenue. Lieut. Kelly, to whom the matter was re- ferred, reported that the stand would be out- side of the building line, and would not of itself be an obstruction. The only question was whether an individual whorented or owned any house bad a right to rent out any portion of the outside of the building line for the pur- pose of conducting another and separate busi- nese Mr. 8. T. Thomas, assistant attorney for the District, rendered a decision that the projec- tion asked for was not “such an occupation of the public highway as the law probibits unless sanctioned by the Secretary of War and ap- proved by the Commissioners.” Basing their ‘action upon this decision of the attorney's office the majority of the board, Messrs. Ross and Robert, today granted the permit, Mr. Dongluss diwenting. ‘MR. DOUGLASS’ DISSENTING VIEWS.

FIGHT OF BANTAM WEIGHTS FRANCE AND RUSSIA, ‘With Those Two Nations, It ts Declared, Rests the Fate of Europe. Sr. Perrassvne, July 23.—A great deal of fin de siecle history is evidently being made up betwen the port of Cronstadt, where side by side ride the friendly squadrons of France aud Russia, and the grand structure in this city wherein ure located the offices of M. de Giers, Russian minister of foreign affairs, No more cordial reception has ever been accorded by the Russian government and people to the representatives of a foreign power than the one which has, during the past week, been ten: 4 to Admiral Gervais and his officers and sailors. This fact cannot be minimized by the depreciatory tone assumed by the press of Englandand that of the nations composing the triple allinnce.

It may, however, even at the risk of repetition, be well to refer to the singing of the Maree Jaise by the famous Slavienski choir, accom: panied by the massed bands of the ‘Russian army and navy stationed at the “Iron Port.” How rare a compliment this was will be un- derstood when one reflects that there are grandfathers in St. Petersburg, lovers of in- spiring music too, who never before heard the y hymn rendered by men rm of the czar. There ix another case in point, and one which well illus trates the subtlety of Rnwsian instinct in indi- cating how, under certain conditions, very clever things may be done. As is well known, there are in the maguificent gallery of the win- ter palace few military pictures which attract more attention from visitors than does Saner- waids’ painting entitled “The Taking of Paris by the Allied Armies in 1614.” Yet, for the resent, this picture is not visible. It has n completely hidden from view by a most artistic intermingling of the standards of France and Russia, On the other hand, the smaller “Taking of Berlin, September 24, 1700,” have been temporarily removed, thus onusing the Portraiture of Prussian humiliation to stand out in bold relief, No other pictures have been disturbed. As the has been thrown wide open to the public for the time being, and a4 & Particularly cordial invitation bus been extended to the visitors to gaze upon its treas- ures, thousands of Russiansand bundreds of French sailors (who are given liberai leaves of absence from ships) have been both gratitied and amused by the odd conceit.
