ARMY ENLIsTsIENTs.

An Order Intended to Correct the FIRE.
quency of Army Desertions.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-The follow
ing general orders, issued to-day from the
War Department, are designed TO check
the frequency of assertions from the army
by allowing recruits six days to make up
their minds after learning their new duties,
and to allow recruiting officers to further
inves igate the recruits record
By direction of the Acting Secretary OF
War, paragraph 90S of the regulations IS
amended to read as follows: Any male
person above the age of sixteen and under
the age of thirty-ive years, effective, able
bodied aud free from disease, of good char
acter, who has competent knowledge OF the
English language, may be enlisted, due at
tention being given to the restrictions IN
this article concerning minors" This reg,
ulation, in so far as it relates 10 age, shall
not apply to soldiers who may re-enllst, nor
to those who have served honestly and
faithfully in previous enlistment in the
army.
Applicants for enlistment will be required
TO furnish such evidence of good character
as they can obtain. With view to deter
mine their fitness and aptitude for service,
and to give them an opportunity to secure
testimonials, as well as for the inquiry and
deliberation contemplated by the second
article of war, they may be retained and
provided for at rendezvous, after having
Signed the declaration of intention to enlist
and passed the medical examination, for
not TO exceed six days.
The men so retained will be known as
recruits on probation. The enlistment
papers of any such recruit who may be I'M
tit or undesirable for service, or who may
not desire 10 remain in service, will not be
completed The enlistment papers OF re.
cruits who are accepted and sworn in will
bear the date on which the enlistment is
completed and the administering of the
oath.

sMoKELEss POWDER.
Experiments to be Made in This Country
Small CALDER Guns.

Experiments to be Made in This Country
Small CALDER Guns.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-Although
foreign powers have for almost year been
experimenting with smokeless gunpowder
and talking about its results, it was only a
few days ago that the Ordnance Depart
ment of our army concluded to look into
the subject seriously. During the next
three weeks some tests are to be made in
this country.
However slow our army officials may ap-
pear to have been in experimenting with
smokeless gunpowder, they have kept
apace with the times Upon all occasions
where its claims were presented by an Off
cial test in Europe the United States had its
representatives present, and there have
been several official reports filed upon this
subject with the Secretary of War.
Although the attempt has been made to
keep the composition of this new explosive
a secret, we know pretty accurately of what
it is made. Dynamite and gun cotton en-
ter largely into its composition. Castor oil
is also used in some samples. Thenewspa-
per accounts of all the tests made thus far
in continental Europe are most tiattering,
and predict a revolution in modern war
fare.
Official and impartial statements put a
different light on the subject. The COM
bustion of one sample of the smokeless
powder produces such an overpowering
stencil that it sickens persons compelled to
be in the vicinity.
In other cases the results are so uncer-
tain that the practical utility of the inven-
ton is matter of serious doubt. If it is
discovered that practical and permanent re-
suits are likely to be the outcome the tests
and investigation will be carried on indei-
nitely until the merits or dement's of the
scheme have been developed.
There is craze now for the adoption of
rifles of smaller caliber than heretofore
used Investigations have been in progress
in this direction OF our Ordnance Depart
ment for nearly two years.

PENSION OFFICE.
Figures From the Annual Report of the
Commissioner.


Commissioner.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-The annual
report of the fiscal year 1859 Of the Com
missioner of Pensions shows there were at
the close Of the year 4S9,729 pensioners.
There were added to the rolls during the
year the names of 81 921 new pensioners,
l 754 were restored to the rolls and 10 507
were dropped from the rolls for various
causes.
The amount paid for pensions during the
year was $8S, 275, 113. The amount paid as
fees 10 attorneys was 81, 363 583.
Since 1861 there has been filed 1,24S, Jag
pension claims of which 7S9, III have been
allowed The amount disbursed on &C.
count of pensions since 1861 was 81 ,O52,-
21S413.
During the past fiscal year 145, 29S certifi-
Gates were issued, 81 92l being originals
At the close of the year there were pending
and unallowed 479000 claims of ali classes
The Commissioner recommends that
Congress be asked to extend the Act OF
June 6, 1874 so as to extend the benefit OF
all the pension laws to all the pensioners
whose pensions have been granted by the
special Acts subsequent to said date, and
that pensions be granted to the widows OF
soldiers who died from causes originating
in the service prior to 1861 and during the
time of peace.
He further recommends that the Act of
March 8, 1877, be amended so as to grant q
pension to those who, having no partlclpa-
ton in the rebellion, subsequently enlisted
in the army or navy OF the United States
and were disabled therein.
The Commissioner recommends new
legislation 10 rectify the inequalities in the
rates, and cites instances TO show the IN
fairness in the rates now provided by law.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Civil Service Question that is Settled
by Solicitor Chapman.

"A OlNlI SERVICE OucstioH ilidt 10 ScbeANN
by Solicitor Chapman.
WASHINGTON, October 16th.-Tn compli-
ance with a request from the President,
Solicitor General Chapman has rendered an
opinion upon the question submitted by
the Civil Service Commissioners. In April
]. NJ. Taylor was appointed railway
postal clerk. Taylor, however, did not
take the oath of office until May, 1880
The time when the rule to include railway
mail service should go into effect having
been extended from March 18Th to May lst,
the question came up whether Taylor
should not have been subject to a civil
service examination.
The Solicitor General finds that the fact
that Taylor did not take the oath of office
until after May LIST is lmmaterial upon the
question of his right to hold the office TO
which he was appointed on April 10Th.
1t is understood that large number of
appointments were made to the railway
mail service just prior TO May LIST, and in a
large percentage of these cases the ap.
pointees were, owing to the shortness OF
the time, unable to take the necessary oath,
which fact, it has been commended, rendered
their appointment void.
The opinion was approved by the Attor-
ney- General.

A Chinese banking house is soon to be
opened in New York City, and it will be
the first of its kinds in the United States.
A small rate of interest is to be paid to
each regular depositor, and the money is to
be let out on a larger interest to legitimate
business houses in Mott street, where the
present rate of interest is between 10 and
10 per cent. for small loans on good secur-

SILVER ON THE FREE LIST.
Decision of the Secretary of the Treasury
on Lead Ores.

Lead Ores.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-The long
expected decision of the Secretary OF the
Treasury upon the question of duty on lead
ore was issued late this afternoon. 1t is as
follows:
To Collectors and other Officers Of the Customs: I
have given due consideration to the arguments,
both written and oral, submitted at and subse-
duent to the hearing at this Department in May
last upon the question of the proper classihca-
ton of ores containing both lead and silver
associated with other substances in variable
qualities and generally known as lead and sill
yer ores, OR as argentiterous ores, imported from
Mexico.
Upon examination I find that the decisions
and practice OF this Department have been uni
form for a number OF years. TWAS held by the
Department under the decision dated January
Ia, 1855, with regard to classification OF certain
ores imported at Eagle Pass from the Sierra
Mojada mines III Mexico, and which was
claimed to be entitled to free entry as silver ore
that the value of silver contained in the ore
being largely in excess of value OF the iron. the
Department is of the opinion that the ore is en-
titled to entry free of duty as silver ore.
This decision was reathrmed in January, 1885,
where it was held that when silver in any ore
predominates in value, it is considered to be
silver ore aud as such is exempt from duty
under the special provision of the free list for
ores of gold and silver.
