During the past year extensive experiments

ing results have been obtained. the attendant
ai'neui'ies have been many aud IL cannot yet

With reference 10 the procurement OF mod

says: The lack of n sufficient quantity of SMOKE
less powder has prevented the perfecting Of ell
the details OF the thirty-callber barrel. but
as soon as the cartridges in process OF Manu-

Will be diligently carried on. and il can be
safely said that the barrel will be complete in

THE IMPROVEMENTS IN MAGAZINE MECHANISM

sary, now that change in caliber is contem-
plated, that our present Springfield SINGLE

ONCE will recommend that a board be con-
yened TO select a suitable magazine mechan-
ism. after full and free competition
among the best existing systems, as soon &c

made We have lost nothing
by waiting until the present time. Several
European nations during the past few years
have made premature changes OF caliber or
have adopted crude repeating systems that
have had to be abandoned for newer and better
ones, often before the armies we're fully armed
with them.

THE CARRIERS BICYCLES.
No Partially Shown in Their Purchase
What Supt Bell Says.

Some little talk has been started by one or
two Of the local bicycle agencies to the effect
that discrimination was used in giving out the
contract for furnishing the twenty-four
machines TO the city post Office and
that bids were not advertised for as the
law demands. In speaking of this today
Superintendent Bell said 70 q
STAR reporter: That is mistake.
The law does not require that
bids shall be called for. However. we acted
on the recommendation of Col Bates. super
intendent Of the free delivery division in the
Post Office Department and sent
to the local agencies of all the lead
ing wheel firms calling for bids. The
lowest bid was not the one acc pied. because IL
was on a machine that was not Of the
best quality and was decidedly unreliable.
There were four bids that remem-
Der, and possibly more, and the
lowest bid on a high grade machine was the
one accepted. The machine itself and the
methods adopted in selecting il were approved
by Assistant Postmaster General Whitfield"

There is but little excitement here, the only

CARTOONIsT GOODWIN KILLED.
Struck by a Train While Walking the
Track at Ni4ht.

MAMARoNECK, NY, Nov. 12.-At 6 o'clock
this morning while one of the track men on the
New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
was walking along the track near here he saw
the body Of a well-dressed man lying in the
gully at the side of the track. He went over
to the man and nudged him on the shoulder.
He did not stir. He was dead.
Closer examination showed that he had been
struck by a train and instantly killed. The
body was taken to the city where it was quickly
recognized as that of Mr.. James s. Goodwin.
Mr.. Goodwin was employed rs cartoonist on
Puck. He was forty five years old and resided
in Mamaroneck with his family.
The presumption is that he came home on
the theater train last night and while walking
along the track to his home, taking short cut,
was struck by another train and killed

EFFIE sHANNON's ROMANCE.

Fell In Love and Married Her Play
wright, Henry Guy Carleton.
New York, Nov. 12.-The many admirers OF
Miss Effie Shannon Of the Lyceum Theater
stock company will be surprised to learn that
the young lady has been married. They will
be more surprised when they learn that the
marriage ceremony took place several months
ago. Mr.. Henry Guy Carleton. formerly editor
of Life, author of "Victor Durand" 1.-THE
Pembertons," and several other works, IS the
happy man.
There is just shadow of romance about the
courtship and marriage. Something over a
year ago Mr.. Daniel Frohman, the manager of
the Lyceum Theater, engaged Mr.. Carleton to
write for HIM play. Mr.. Carleton visited the
Lyceum many times, and during one Of his
visits he was introduced to Miss Shannon.
The ceremony is said to have taken place as
long ago as last April, but for reasons of their
own the couple did not wish it to be known
that they were married.

What the Farmers Alliance Proposes
To DO in 1892

What the Farmers Alliance Proposes
To DO in 1892.
CHICAGO, Nov. IA dispatch from Kansas
City, NO., says: In its issue of this week the
Farmers Allocate, official paper of the Farm
ers' Alliance or peoples party Of Kansas, has
the folio wing TO say Of the future Of the party:
1--WE shall at once commence to marshal the
hosts of the people for the conflict of 1892. In
this great work there are many prejudices to
be overcome. Sectional lines must be abol-
ished Interests which are identical must be
brought together, and the combined forces OF
the agricultural and laboring classes must be
consolidated against the forces Of the corpora
tions, monopolies. trusts, syndicates and mOnied
aristocrats, who have for years Toasted upon
the substance of the people; When we say
these forces are to be marshaled against the
oppressors of the people, we do not mean that
the injustice which has characterized the cor
porate power Of America is to be returned in
kind. The people simply ask for justice. that
alone, and that, by the eternal, they will have
NEW LINLs DRAWN.
"The coming contest, therefore, will not take
place between the northern and southern Sec
tons of our country. The interests OF the
people of the west and south are identical and
their political forces must be consolidated
against the power Of corporate greed. We may
as we'll recognize this fact now as to permit
our prejudices to postpone the day of its recog-
milton. The professional politicians OF both
parties, both north and south. who have de-
voted their lives 20 assiduously to the promo
ton OF corporate interests, recognize that this
union OF the two sections is the great danger
that threatens the power Of monopoly, and
they, therefore. constantly aim to keep alive
the prejudices that have estranged them only
| to prey upon them and to maintain political
supremacy by their alienation.
PATRIOTIC AIN OF THE ALLIANCE.
ut has been and is the holy mission Of the
Farmers Alliance TO subdue this sectional pre-
judice 1t is full time for this nation to become
| united. Did the hosts Of the army in blue face
| shot and shell 10 maintain and perpetuate a
more perfect union or to divide the nation into
contending sections? II former let us see to il
that those who fell did not perish in vain. Let
| rs see to IL that those of their COM
rades who survive may live to see a
country redeemed and its liberties re-
| stored. Down with all sectional lines.
\ Away with all sectional prejudices. Let the
fres of patriotism that still burn in the hearts
| Of the people consume the prejudices Of the
past Let ono dag float over US and one spirit
so perfectly pervade our hearts that We shall
be able and willing to stand shoulder to
| shoulder In the great army that must make
! lasting conquest Of the hosts of corporate
greed that are fattening upon the stolen sub
stance Of the people"
