MAKING STEEL CANNON.

Guns.
Washington National Republican,
The new two-inch steel guns now
being constructed in the ordinance
shops at the navy-yard will probably
not be finished for several months.
The work of building them is necess
arily a slow one. All the labor
is performed in the shops
here, except the manufacture OF
the steel. That Is done Mt the Midyale
works, in Easton, Pa. The steel is
then shipped TO Washington, and the
work Of converting it into cannon is
performed.
This is complex operation, and to
the looker-on Is decidedly interesting.
The steel is first "turnedn by "A steam
lathe working slowly, but with ire
nendous power, until the heavy mass
of steel in the rough,p SO to
speak, becomts long cylindrico-
conoieal column. In this condi-
ton it is placed in proper
position and hole drilled clear
through 1t by means of what is called
a hog btu This hog bit Is small
rectangle of very hard steel. and turned
up at one end'in such Il manner as to
form rude verticle section of spher-
icle triangle. The whole rectangular
piece is then clamped down upon flat
shaft of chilled iron in such manner
as TO fit IL and form one piece with the
shaft. The latter has at the opposite

that the 'Gar1eld policy" would be continued.
The brilliant foreign policy, which would have

alone was abandoned. 1t was not 'Garaell

marked out by his prcdecessor-the appoint
