The Secretary of the Navy has appointed Commander Converse and Prof. Alger of the navy and Lieut. Kormany of the ma- rine corps a board to conduct experiments with modern small arms suitable for use in the naval service at the training station, Newport, beginning September 1. A num- ber of domestic and foreign manufacturers have Indicated their intention of submitting their inventions for trial on that occasion. As already stated in The Star, the Navy Department has issued thirty-three of the new model .2362 caliber barrels, and it is expected that at least half that number of breech mechanism inventions will be sub- mitted to the board. The experiments will relate to the simplicity and strength of the breech parts, as the diameter, length and other characteristics of the barrels have been determined upon. Two domestic and hree foreign manufacturers have already igaified their intention of competing. It is practically certain that a number of other Americans will be ready for the trial before the day set. The Remington works will offer three and the Lee Gun Company two complete rifles. Four of the leading magazine rifles of Europe will be tested. They are the Manser (German), Daudetau and Berthier (French), and Krag-Jorgensen (Danish). The Corean Minister's Departure. The Corean minister, Mr. Ye Sung Soo, and the secretary of legation of Corea will sail from San Francisco on the 28th instant for home. They have been given a leave of absence, and will return to this couniry after a few months stay. Ye Sung Soo was formerly secretary of lega- tion, and was promoted to minister a few months ago. While at home he will take the opportunity to fully inform his govern- ment with respect to American affairs, especially bearing upon the present Jap- anese-Chinese war. The legation here dur- ing the minister's absence will be in charge of the counselor, Ye Huen Gik, as charge d'affaires. +e An Inspector of Hulls. Wiliam Y.
