factory. One Of the plates tried. the high
carbon nickel steel from the Bethlehem Iron
Works, was equal to any plate yet tested in
the world, and there is reason to believe
that among, the five plates yet to be tested
on subsequent days there are at least two
that are superior to it. They are high
carbon nickel steel treated by the Harvey
process of surface hardening, and it is be-
lieved that the union Of hardened face with
the good qualities of the nickel steel plate
will give it resisting power not yet ap-
preached by any other form of armor plates:
Of the five plates remaining to be tested
four are from Carnegie, Phipps & Co. and
one from the Bethlehem Iron Works.

DES MONIES, Oct 31.-The work of the
two parties is being pushed with unabated

big rally tonight, with F. W. Lehman,
of st. Louis, as leading orator. The Re-
publicans held their principal rally at OF
tumwa, with William E. Mason, of Chicago,

road vote of the State to Peter A. Dey,
Democratic candidate for Railroad Com
missioner Dey was a member of the Iowa
Commission during the enactment of the
railroad rate laws of few years ago, and
was generally considered to be friendly to
companies. His opponent, Campbell, was
radical friend of the so-called granger
legislation. The present plot, it is claimed,
aims at the repeal of all such legisla-
tion. Circulars soliciting votes for Mr..
Dey, it is said, are being distributed as
railway mail. Democrats are claiming that
the circulars we're gotten up by Republicans
to influence the granger vote. The pro-
hibitory question is being urged in many
parts of the State. The women of the
various temperance societies are getting
ready to take hand in the fight

NATIONAL GUARD WORK.
INSPECTOR RBRECKENRIDGEs REPORT
TO MR.. PROCTOR.

Compliments for the Volunteer Militia-
Suggestions for the Future-Tests Of
French Smokeless Powder-Reduced
Maximum Age for Recruits.
WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Inspector Gen.
eral j. c. Breckinridge, in his annual re-
port to the Secretary of War, says that the
work of inspecting the National Guard in
encampments was never so completely
accomplished as during the past year
The report says: "It is safe to
assume that a substantial organization of
the volunteer militia of the nation is now
assured, and with the support from the
general Government and from the States
themselves which they deserve and which
experience has taught it is economical to
give an efficiency will be attained in which
all may feel a just pride and the nation
rely for its security" e..
In his report to the Major General COM
suggested the advisabillty of holding at Chi
cago during the Columbian Exposition an
encampment of the militia for his nation,
and collecting there as many regulars as
possible. He SAYS we have no cause to be
ashamed of our army.
Touching the National Guard, the In
spector General says the exercises in which
it has had the least experience and nat
urally the most deficient are in campaign
ing, skirmishing through rough country,
field intrenchments, minor tactics and night
work
The Ordnance Bureau of the War Depart
ment has just completed some tests of
French ''B. M" smokeless powder with
rifed field guns. The guns were 32 inches
caliber. The service charge of other
powder is 3.4 pounds, giving velocity
to the shot of 1850 feet per second, with
pressure in the gun of from 5000 to 81 900
pounds per square inch. One pound and
IA ounces of the smokeless powder gave
the same velocity with pressure
of only 1900 pounds. With a
full charge of 2 pounds 8 ounces
of smokeless powder velocity Of 2,050 feet
was impaired to the shot with pressure of
$4,000 pounds, we'll within the safe pressure
for the gun.
By an order issued to-day, tho Secretary
of War has reduced from 35 to 80 years the
maximum age at which recruits will be ac-
cepted for the army
