The Advantages of smokoiess Powder
The hereditary Prince of Moiniugeu, the
Emperor brother-in-law, recently publish
ed in Greek magazine IN article written
in Greek ON the repeating rifle and the new
smoleless powder lie says about the
latter that at present the soldiers hear, to-
gether with the Kissing, also the thud Of
the bullet as it strikes 80 that before the
mnrksmau can aim a second or third time
at them. or mt least before they are wound
ed, they can often escape from an enemy
whose position they have discovered but
in future the outposts, not knowing from
what direction they are being shot at will
often be mistaken, and not be able 20 protect
themselves The reconnaissance will
consequently become more difficult and
risky. When at present the vanguard of
the cavalry is approaching the place from
which an enemy is shooting ut them, they
know by the noise Of the bullets and the
smoke q the powder how far the enemys
position extends, and even IA case tho
accommodating cavalry Immediately with.
draws those superficial observations can
be Of great importance to the commander,
But II neither shooting is to be heard nor
the smoke seen, then not only will the first
requisites for quick recommending of the
enemy position be wanting but erroneous
conclusion. will also be drawn by using
q small bore repeating rifle the enemy can
hit the outposts Of m opposing force at
longer ranges than hitherto and perhaps
at such distance that the noise Of his shoot
ing be altogether unheard.

THE CHARLESToNS OFFICIAL TRIAL.

HER HORSEPOWER SAID TO HAVE BEEN Soo
SHORT OF CONTRACT REQUIREMENT
Washington Sept. A report. received to-day at
the Bureau OF Steam Engineering Navy Department,
from one OF the inspectors the new cruiser Charles
ton, built by the Union Iron Works, San Francisco,
for the Government states that the horsepower de-
veoped by the ship in her recent official run will
probably not be reported above 6,7o0 by the Trial
Board In their official report Tho vessel worked
beautifully She was ruin six hours, instead OF four,
as stipulated in the contract, and she worked better
during the last two hours than at first. Her speed
during the six hours averaged about Is Ia knots
II this statement be confirmed by the official re-
port the ship will have failed to make her contract
requirement of 1000 horsepower by 500, which will
subject her builder to a penalty Of 10000 The
boiler performance in this ship has been In excess
of that OF the Yorktown in proportion The con
tractors did everything In their power to meet the
requirements Of the contract. The vessel was built
on the plans of the Mammalian English designed
which had about twenty-four trials before she was
accepted. II Is believed that the contractors will

ground that the plans for the vessel were defective

A PENSION DECISION REVERSED.

Washington Sept. 4.-Asss' antsecretary of the In,
terror Bussey to-day rendered decision in the case
OF Phcbe Mclaughlin. on appeal from the action OF
tho Pension Bureau. which rejected the claim of her
husband for pension account Of disability alleged
to have been incurred In the service. The soldier
filed his original declaration for pension in January.
1871, alleging that while engaged in loading ammu-
milton into wagons at JOnesborO. Tenn, In August,
1864, he had his right caught and mashed be-
tween a box Of ammunition and the wheel OF \
wagon. which injury never healed and resulted In
running The issue presented 'on the appeal.
Dir. Bussey says, Is simply the suIlcency OF the
proof submitted by the appellants TO establish the
origin Of the injury In the service. Mr. Bussey
analyses the testimony given IN the case and says
the proof of the continuance of the soldiers disa-
biliy from the injured arm subsequent TO DISCHARGE,
is ample and conclusive. He therefore reverseS the
action Of the Pension Office. and directs that Ger
ticate be issued to the appellant. allowing her such
amount OF pension may be due thereon under
the law. from the date OF the discharge of the soldier
TO the date of his DEATH in 1871.
