Authority Asked to Build @ Gun OF
10 Caliber-smokeless Powder.
WASHINGTON, Dec. g. - Commodore
Folger. chief Of the bureau of ordnance, In
his annual report TO the Secretary Of the
Navy. estimates the expenses Of the bureau
for the next fiscal year at S4,7sO, ,291, of
which amount "a, 1S6,250 is to be applied
toward the armament of the new vessels
authorized TO he built. The number of
guns required to arm the new vessels u
placed at 347, ranging from 4 to 13
inches. The guns completed number
1855, of which III were of 6-inch caliber: 294
sets of forgings have been ordered and 246
have been delivered. Although none of the
ships authorized to be built require guns of
l6-inch caliber, it is believed that such
guns may be needed, so the necessary plans
have been made and authority is
sought for the construction of one Of them,
1t is believed that the difficulties expes
rienced abroad with these large guns can be
overcome. In order to facilitate inter-
change of ammunition in case of war 1t Is
recommended that all projectiles used by
the army and navy be made Of uniform
sizes and weights.
Trials of the smokeless powder invented
and manufactured at the torpedo station
are said to have resulted satisfactorily and
it is believed that within q very short time
the use of gunpowder will be entirely aban-
doned, in caliters of 6.inch and below IL.
being replaced by some one of the numer-
ous forms of so-called smokeless powders.
and the bureau feels grati6ed with the pro-
greSs made in this direction.

W. H. Wallace was not exactly
slaughtered" to-day In the legislature, as
per the programme of the alIiancemen and
Tillmanites, in the election for associate
justice of the supreme court, but the able
jurist and gallant patriot was sacrificed on
the same altar on which Wade Hampton
was. The mandate Of the Tillman admin
istration went forth, and weak-kueed fol-
lowers were brought into line by the whip
of the dominant element" but it was
hard fight. Even the terrific
pressure Of "alliance, reform and adminis-
tion" was barely sufficient to defeat the un-
trammeled will of the people. There was
only one ballot, and that resulted &c to 70
In favor Of Attorney General Y. j. Pope.
The administration prevented severe ex-
coriation aud possible defeat by securing an
agreement that nominations should he made
without speeches. Several Wallace men
were prepared TO say what they thought of
thus defeating the popular will, and hot
times would have prevailed. Tonight
Judge Wallace's name Is on many tongues

New YORK, Dec 3.--The Mail and

people. and especially the business cons
munity OF the state, strenuously insist upon
an equitable settlement of the state debt.
The principal difficulty In the way of a set.
Element has been the refusal of West Virs
ginia TO assume its just share of the debt,
Tho injustice of this action Of West Virgi-l
MIA is rendered more conspicuous and
reprehensible by virtue of the fact
that one of the terms on which
that state was admitted into the

wealth should assume an equitable share Of
the public debt Of old Virginia. The final

politics OF the country, and as relieving the
entire nation from a standing stigma that
