Commodore Sampson's Report Will Prob- | ably Be Against the System. Commodore Sampson, the naval chief of ordnance, will probably report against the pneumatic gun system. The report of the re- cent trial of the Vesuvius is still in his hands and will be sent to the Sec- retary in a few days with « comment which may result in the removal of the fixed pneumatic guns of the Vesuvius and the aban- jonment of that type of ordnance in the navy. Some experts believe that the faults of the sys- tem, notably the difficulty in the operation of the valves, cannot be ly corrected. An offi- cer, in speaking of this matter, said: “The matter of fuses, the occasion of 80 thuch extra work for the board, is one which is easily corrected. The same cannot be said for the valve gear of the ship. The faults in that part of the guus have remained #lmost as pro- nounced and objectionable as when the guns were first fired in Delaware river. The Secre- tary will be advised that there is ‘no indication that the valves can be made more certain of operation, and that this fact furnishes the main objection to the whole system. One day the vaives, set for a certain range, will accomplish certain result. The next day, under appar- ently identical conditions, and with the valves fixed as on the previous day, the result will be quite different, and’ « difference, too, “which would be disastrous in actual warfare. It is this uncer- tainty which will induce the ordnance bureau to discourage the continuance of the pneumatic system in the navy. It will, of course, be left to the Secretary to determine whether the system shall be further tried and additional effort be made to overcome the ob- Jections at present so apparent. It will rest with him as to the future of this now useless ship. and the changes which are necessary to convert her into an efficient and Pro- tected warship. ates Se ROCK CREEK PARK.

At the regular monthly mecting of the board of managers of the Industrial Home School of Georgetown, D.C., held at the residence of Senator Conger, 1321 M street, last evening measures were ‘taken to dispense with some employes, reduce the salaries of others and to ‘lessen the number of children, so that the expenses of the institution may be bronght within the much-reduced appropri- ation for the ensuing fiscal year. As the con- stant demand for admission is not now favor- ably met with a cutting down of the number already there will be a lamentable thing. LAST NIGHT'S CONCERT.

A New Ferry Boat to Be Built—Other Notes of Interest. There wasa rumor this morning around the wharves that the Washington Steamboat Com- pany would soon sign a contract with a Wil- mington firm for the building of a new ferry steamer to take the place of the Wash- ington. Officials of the company state that anew steamer is to be built for this route, but it is not likely that she will be ready before next season. Last fall it was thought that a new boat would be launched and put on the ferry route this season. In this they were disappointed. There had been several talke as to what kind of » craft was wanted in these waters, It was certain that the projected steamer would be thoroughly up to date in every detail. Itis thought that she will be of the propeiler style, and will be of considerably greater tonnage than the Columbia. ‘The River View people are making ready for the opening of their daily season. ‘This will be inaugurated on Wednesday. the 17th of May. On Saturdays after that date the Harry Kan- dall will lenda hand in transporting pilgrims to, this popular resort, and the Mary Washington’ is being overhauled for the pu of joining in the procession.
