tooErmuED From y1xsr rAaE.I

War. your special attention was invited to
the Importance OF preparing for war in
time Of peace by providing proper arma-
ment for our seacOast defenees. Proper
armament is of vastly more importance than
Notifications. The latter can be supplied
very speedily for temporary purposes when
needed: the former can not. These views
the years roll by.
have now again the honor to call special
attention to the armament of our fortifca-
tiOns and the absolute necessity OF imme-
date provision by Congress tor the procure
ment OF heavy cannon. The large expendi-
lures required to supply the number OF guns
for our forts is the strongest argument that
can be adduced for liberal annual appro-
priatiOn for their gradual accumulation.
In time of war such preparations can not
be made. Cannon can not be purchased IN
open market, nor manufactured at short
notice. They must be the product OF years
Of experience and labor.
] herewith lnclose copies OF report OF
the Chief of ordnance and of board OF
ordnance officers on the trial OF an eight-
inch rife converted from ten inch smooth
bore, which shows very cOnclusively an
economical means OF utilizing these useless
smooth bores, and making them into eight
inch rifles, capable Of piercing seven inches
of iron. The 1894 ten-inch Rodman guns
should, in my opinion, SO he utilized, ana
the appropriation requested by the chief OF
ordnance of $250,000 to commence these
conversions is earnestly recommended
While convinced of the economy and ne
cessity of these con versions the determine
ton OF the best and most economical method
OF providing guns of still larger callbro
should no longer be delayed.
The experience of other nations, based
on the new conditions of defense brought
prominently forward by the introduction
of irOnclads into every navy afOat, demands
heavier metal and rifed guns of not less
than twelve inches in calibre. These enOr-
nous masses, hurting shot of 700 pounds,
gan alone meet many Of the requirements Of
The national defenses. They must be pro-
vided, and experiments on q large scale
can alone give the data necessary for the
determination of the question. A suitable
proving ground, with all the facilities and
c0nveniences referred TO by the Chief OF |
ordnance, with q liberal annual appropri- |
alton, is an undOubted necessity.
The guns now ready for use can not be |
experimt nted with without funds, and the |
estimate of $25OOOO for the purpose is |
deemed reasonable, and is strongly recon-
mended. The constant appeals for 1egislar
ton on the armament Of fOrtifcatiOns ought
NO longer to be disregarded if Congress de-
sires in peace to prepare the important
material, without which future wars must
lead to disaster.
This subject is submitted with the hope
that the consideration it deserves may be
given it at the present session:
