Annual Report of the Chief of the Ord.

| Annual Report of the Chief of the Ord
nance Department.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Commodore
Folger, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance,
in his annual report, estimates the ex-
pense of the bureau for the next fiscal
year at S47 ,S90, ,29l, of which 81, 1856 $50 is to
be applied toward the armament of new
vessels. The number of guns required is
placed at ,347, ranging in caliber from
/ four to thirteen inches. Although none
| OF the ships authorized TO be built re-
! quire guns of 16-inch caliber it IS be-
! lieved that such guns may be needed. so
! necessary plans have been made to au-
| thoriZe the construction of one of them.
! 1t is believed that the difficulties expert
enced abroad with these large guns can
| be overcome.
In order to facilitate the interchange of
| ammunition in case Of war; it is recon-
mended that all projectiles used by the
army and navy be made of uniform size
and weights.
| The trials of smokeless powder are said
! to have resulted satisfactorily, and it is
! said within very short time the use of
gunpowder will be entirely abandoned in
| calibres of siX-inch and below it. being
replaced by some one of the numerous
| forms OF so-called smOkeless powder. An
order for $4,000 pounds of gun-cotton, the
best-know high explosive for naval use.
has been placed with the Duponts, on con-
dition that complete plant be erected.
After describing the successful trials of
emmenslte, the report says: ''It is the
bureaus intention to recommend the
adoption Of relatively short gun of large
calbre. using powder as the propulsiVe
charge, and firing projectile containing
charge OF emmensite, or gun-cotton, for
feature OF the armament of vessels, with
view of utilizing the aerial submarine
! torpedo"
The experience of European countries
is said to be conclusive as to the
merits of the new small caliber
| smokeless powder rifle, and the navy is
only waiting the action of the Army
Board to arm sailors with new small
arms.
The bureau inclines to the belief that
the submarine guns now approaching
completion will prove a valuable and i'm
portant adjunct to our defensive arma-
ment, particularly when mounted on
vessels intended especially for ramming.
1t seems probable that the chances of
ram being able to reach her antagonist
| with destructive effect will be 0uad-
rupled by the addition of this weapon to
| her means of otfense.
| Under the head of armor it is stated
! that negotiations are in progress to cause
| plate to be delivered by the Bethlehem
| company Tor the double-turret monitors,
and the Maine and Texas to be of nickel
steel. All armor ordered from Carnegie
is to be OF the same material, the depart
ment furnishing the nickel, 800 tons of
| ore having been purchased last year.
1t is said the VesuviuS' dynamite guns
are unsatisfactory, and it is recommended
that she be turned into torpedo cruiser.

The Field Family.

New YORK, Dec. 3.-The report that
Edward NJ. Field, soE of Cyrus w. Field,
has been removed from the private in

cerated, is without foundation. There is
no essential change in his condition.
This evening Cyrus w. Field was re-
ported comfortable.
Latest reports from Cyrus w. Fields
bedside indicate the crisis has passed, and
that he will recover. DR.. Lindley said
that Field had made a change in his will
within the last two or three days. What
this change was Lindley said he did not

HAS NOT ARRIVED.
The Man Who Threatened Mantell's
Life Fails to Appear.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 3.-Mr. Hume, the
husband of Charlotte Behrens, of the
Robert Mantell theatrical company, who
was reported to have left New York for
this city with the avowed intention of
taking Mantells life, has not arrived.
His threatened advent was apparently
not without effect on Mantell, who re-
manned in his room at the Hotel Schloser,
and denied himself TO all visitors Miss
Behrens has been with Mantell three
years, and stopped at the Fifth Avenue
every time she has been here.
The clerk said to-day that never in
those three years had Mantell been in
side the hotel while Miss Behrens was
there. He thought Hume was wronging
his wife. Mrs. Hume is the leading lady
IN MantelPs company, and the cause of
Hune's anger is said 10 be newspaper
publications connecting his wite's name
with a suit for divorce to be brought
against Mantell by his wife.
