Guns Going Off.

There are several movements OF
some interest among the manufac-
turers Of firearms. A curious
circumstance resulting from the
recent riot is the demand in various
parts Of the country for Calling
guns. Several States and mum
icipalities are quietly providing
themselves with this formidable
weapon, notably two or three cities
in Pennsylvania where difficulties
occurred not long ago. New York,
Maryland and Ohio will also in the
future be better prepared to sup
press riotous demonstrations.
The seventh cargo of war
materials for Turkey will leave
New Haven some time this week,
clearing for Greek port. To
charter a steamer from New York
to Constantinople costs 10000
sterling, rates having doubled with
in the last eight months. Contrary
to common impressions, no new
contracts for firearms have been
given out in the United States
since the breaking out of the
urco-Russian war, but there is an
increased demand for ammunition.
This preference is the cause Of the
stoppage of work on the Turkish
contracts by the Providence Tool
Company. While the latter have
10000 rifles on hand Of which
100000 are finished for delivery,
and partially paid for, they natural
ly await further remittances. They
would rather convert these arms
into cash before branching out
largely in the ammunition business.
Rumor says the Remingtons are
negotiating with the Prussian
Government with reference to an
important contract for firearms,
with fair prospects of success.
The Prussian Government are
making beautiful rifle with
American machinery, and mean
while sending off their inferior
arms to the Roumanians. The
Austrians, In like manner, get rid
of their poor arms by selling to the
Greeks.

The contract of the Turkish
Government with the Providence
Tool Company for rifles was made
in 1873 and called for 100000 rifles
of the Martini-Henry pattern. The
company began manufacturing in
1874, and have already sent about
100000 to Turkey. There remain
100000 to fill ont the contract,
and the company shut down the
manufacture because Turkey had
not fully lived up to the terms of
the contract. 1t has been custo-
mary for Turkey to deposit 81 $780,
600 at a time in London to meet
the payment for the rifles, and
before one deposit would be ex-
hausted another was usually made.
Turkey has paid upward of s5,OOO,-
900 already for the rifles, and
will require over 100000 more
to pay for the balance contracted
for. The Turkish army at the
beginning of the Servian war was
mostly armed with the Snider
breech-loading rifles, but it had
many defects. It's rang was short
and its breech mechanism was
difficulty to manipulate. For
rough military service it was in
adequate. The Martini-Henry is
one Of the best weapons in use,
and the fact that the Turkish
troops are so well supplied with
them undoubtedly accounts in no
small measure for the effective
stand they have been able to make
against the Russians.

Special Correspondence from, the

MIR. CLIPPERS, Correspondents.

Coustantinople, August, 10TH
An imperial decree calls to arms
all Turks hitherto exhonerated.-
Those who have already served but
have not yet attained their fortieth
year, will be divided into National
Guards, who may ultimately be
sent to the seat of war, and Ma
tional Guards for protection and
internal security.
London, August 16th.-The Rus
slams have evacuated Elena and
Gabrova, and nearly all the coun-
try up to Tirnova. Suleiman Pa
sha's advance guard is close to Ga
brova. He has received heavy re-
Inducements from Constantinople.
London, August 16.-The Rus
SLAMS officially acknowledge the loss
of 14,459 men killed and wounded
up to August 9th.
st. Petersburg, August 17.-It
is officially stated that General
Gourka's entire loss, from July
14th to August LIST, was ten officers
and Isl men killed, twenty-seven
officers and 706 men wounded, and
fifty-seven missing. The Bulgarian
legion also lost twenty-five officers
and 600 men.
New York, August ia dis
patch from Bucharest says it is re-
ported that the fever epidemic in
the Russian arpy in Bulgaria is
increasing. The troops are also in
want of food, and they refuse pay
unless they can receive it in coin
of their own country. They
threaten to surrender to the Turks
unless they are paid in the coin
demanded. The present state of
affairs in the army is alarming.
London, August 17.-Seven
thousand four hundred Turkish
prisoners altogether have passed
through Roumania.
The railways from st. Peters
burgh to Kischineff are now carry
ing 10000 men daily. One of the
pieces Of the railway bridge at
has given way, causing
great delay.
1t is reported that Prince Hassan,
in the Dobrudschs, Is marching
rapidly with the object of cutting |
off the communication of the Rus
slams with Bessarabia. Simulta-
neously eight Turkish steamers
nave received orders to disembark |
A force north of the Danube's mouth |
with the same object.
Every detail of preparation shows
hat the Russians have made up
heir minds for long war, and are
preparing great depots of fire
wood. The Roumanian govern
nent is also asking tenders for the
supply of great quantities Of cloth
ng and stores.
A rain of less than twelve hours
duration has rendered the roads at
Sistova over which the Russian
supplies are transported, a sea of
mud, with gaping holes at frequent
intervals. 1t will be very difficult
or the Russians even to maintain
heir armies between the Balkans
md Danube when the summer
Weather breaks up.
