STEEL RIFLES FOR THE NAVY.
Successful Experiment at the
Nayy-Yartl Here.

The first steel rifle cannon ever manufa,-
tured by this Government has Just been COM
pleted at Tho navy yard, IN this city, and is
now on exhibition in the ordnance machine
shop and is attracting great deal OF notice.
Secretaries Chandler and Lincoln were at
the yard at an carly hour yesterday TO exam
Inc the celebrated piece OF ordnance. They
expressed themselves as we'll pleased with the
gun, and In few days II Will be shipped to
the experimental station at Annapolis, where
IL Will be put through series OF tests. This
gun is six inches In the bore and fifteen feet
long, and there Is
Only Ono other Such Gun in the
Navy,
and that was manufactured by private llrm
at the South Boston Steel Works, and has given
the highest satisfaction. This being the first
attempt OF the Government TO make such q
gun, there is quito lively interest on the part
tests TO which II Will be submitted, but they
express themselves as confident that It Will
prove grand success.
The Ordnance Bureau Is under tho direction
Of Commander Howell, OF the Navy, and 1t is
proposed TO furnish the four new steel cruls
ers with steel rifles from this yard, and there
are big preparations making for the work, and
several other steel rifles are under way now,
some OF them
AZ Large as Eight Inch es I'm the bore.
Said an officer to THE CRITIC this morning:
I'VE are working every man that we have
room for, and we will soon be able to mako
something OF O show in this class OF modern
gun-making. We have been at work on a cou
pie OF guns for over six months, but we had to
make the heavy machiRery and tools required
in their manufacture, but hereafter we will be
able to turn them out faster, and from our OK
perience with the first we know we can furnish
tractors"
The Boston rifle, on being set at Ave degrees
elevation, has thrown q ball 1000 yards, or
more than two and a.half miles.

TINE OYSTER CONFERENCE.
Maryland ana Virginia Unable &
Come TO an Agreement.


In the conference yesterday between the
committees OF tho Maryland and Virginia
Legislatures at Richmond, In relation to the
rights OF the two States to certain oyster beds,
the virgininns submitted the following ultima.
tum:
''ResoiUed, That It is not expedient for the
committee OF the General Assembly OF Vir-
touching the Pocomoke Sound; tho State of
Virginia claiming absolute and exclusive
Jurisdiction Of said sound, except north and
west of the boundary line as established by
'second, that on the Potomac River concur.
rent legislation IS necessary to the interest OF
tain space In each year dredging therein, and
for brlefer space longing. Such Legislation
TO be recognition by the one State OF the
equal rights OF the other In said waters as far
as said oystering and fishing and riparian
rights are concerned"
Tho Marylanders would not accede to this
proposition, and Senator Gill suggested that
temporary arrangement be made for two
years by which the two States were TO have
common privileges in the Potomac and all
that portion of the Pocomoke In which Mary
landers are now and have been for years per-
mittod TO tongue. The virginians refused to
accept this proposition, and compromise was
suggested reducing somewhat the territory
In which Marylander5 were to have the right,
which was also rejected. Both propositions
stipulated that all rights claimed by both
States under the compact OF 1885 shall be re.
served.
lsenator Hodson then submitted O PROPOSE.
tion that the two States enact concurrent leg
islation for the Potomac and Pocomoke rivers,
the decision whether the term Pocomoke
River includes the sound to be left to
three arbitrators, one to be appointed by each
State, and these two to appoint the third.
This was also rejected by the Virginians, aud
the Maryland conferees then withdrew, sat
isfied that no conclusion could be reached.
The Maryland committee will carry back the
ultimatum OF the Virginians to the Leglsla-
ture, leaving to the latter to decide whether 1t
Will accept or rejecttt

TEMPERANCE WORK AND WORKERS
How the Work Progresses Among
Soldiers.

or the many noble works or charity and re-
form inaugurated and successfully carried on
by the branches OF the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, mono are more productive
Of good fruit than the work among the SOL
diers at the Arsenal, which has resulted
in the organization OF the Soldiers Temperance
Union, which meets every Wednesday even
ing at the post library In the Arsenal Grounds
A CRITIC reporter attended the meeting last
with the banners and notices OF the Soldiers
Union, and crowded with an audience of
whom large percentage wore the Army uni

The meeting was under the direction OF the
president OF the Soldiers Union, Mr.. George
Kelly, and Mrs. Rowan, OF tho Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, who has earned
the gratitude of the soldiers by her earnest
and untiring efforts for their good.
A church organ, at which Mrs. William II.
Pope presided, furnished the instrumental
music, while q choir OF i've Of the soldiers,
with excellently harmonized voices, led the
singing. The choir is composed Of Comrades
Frank Miller, NJ. L. brow, Fred Gerhman, Gre

and developed singularly fine voices.
The meeting was addressed by Mr.. II. b.

interspersed with singing by Crystal Circle
