Annual Reports Of the chief Of Ord
nance and Acknowledgement.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, d. c., October 3d.
The annual report Of General Benet,
Chief of. Ordnance Of the United States
army, is to-day made public. The to-
talexpenditures Of the bureau during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1885, were
$l,S3l, GA. During the year 40,657
rifles, carbines, and shOt-guns have been
manufactured at the national armOry.
The great interest taken by the army
in rife-fring has lead TO an increased
demand for the different materials re-
quisite for practice, and the department
has, fortunately, been able TO furnish
liberal supplies, SO that the rihe-ranges
al the different posts are now better
equipped than at any previous time. Re-
speeding the militia the report says:
1t is hardly necessary to do more
than refer in a cursory way to the great
need Of larger appropriations for arm
ing and equipping the whole body Of
militia, or even a reasonable fraction Of
it. If the General Government intends
keeping the militia up TO the highest
practicable standard as the main armed
force Of the country, then the amount
deemed sufficient in 1905 must be great
ly increased. If this most important
duty is to be performed by the indi-
vidual States, then the fact should be
decided and proclaimed, that the re-
sponsibility rest upon the proper ahoul-
ders. One thing is certain, that more
uniform and liberal methods and direct
responsibility should be resorted to TO
place on an efficient footing the militia
and volunteer organizations Of all the
States"
The annual report Of Adjutant-
General Drum says that the number Of
desertions from the army during the
past year has sensibly decreased, being
745 less than the number stated in his
last report. A large number of men
have offered themselves for enlistment
during the year, and recruiting officers
have been instructed to select only the
best. OF 7,164 accepted recruits, 4, do
were native-born and 2.942 Of foreign
birth 6,5S7 were white and 81 CO.
