The United States is full of trained
soldiers, but they will have TO learn the
trade anew in case of war. This fact is
brought out plainly in an article in "The
United Service" for February, by Lieu
tenant j. =. Wiser, VI S. A., on 'rhe In
fluence of Small -Calibre Magazine Rifles
and Smokeless Powder ON Tactics" The
smokeless powder is not entirely smoke
less. 1t gives a faint cloud which is
quickly dissipated.
The German gun, model of 1888, weighs
but little over pounds, the bore being
three tenths of an inch. The projectile,
weighing little less than half an ounce,
is made of core of lead, surrounded by q
mantle of nickel, copper or steel. The
powder looks like little bits of brown
paper, and the report of its explosion is
Tess than that of black gun powder. Each
soldier carries $50 rounds, weighing IL
pounds, and he can fire 35 shots minute.
The projectile moves in an almost hori-
zontal line with velocity Of 2,03i feet a
second. At a thousand feet it will per-
forate iron plate a quarter of an inch
thick. At half mile It would perforate
80 inches thick TO afford protection.
The sight of the rifle is graduated up to
mile and a quarter. Lieutenant Wiser
says: ut is evident that modern battle
is q very serious matter, and the response
bility OF those in command has grown to
be very great Subdivisions exposed in
the open field to the fire of the enemy for
but short time will be swept away so
completely that they may as well be
stricken from the rolls for the rest of the
campaign. Men of calm judgment are re-
Quired, both as leaders and as common
soldiers" The Lieutenant suggests q
specially trained body of independent
patrols to cover the front Of an army.

Representative Taylor Of Illinois, COM
mentng on the action of Alabama, Ark

ance appropriations for the Worlds Fair
until the fate of the Force is decided, re-
marked that ''the Republicans will not be
bulldozed by the South; that the North
will go ahead and hold the fair regardless
of the South
The three Southern States which have
determined that they will have nothing
to do with the Worlds Fair if the Force
bill becomes law did so without any in
tention of attempting to bulldoze the
North. In fact, such an idea never en-
tered their minds. They simply said to
the Republican Congress that they in
tended to look out for themselves; that ii
the North, through its chosen Representa-
tiyes and Senators in Congress, sees fit to
declare war upon Southern progress and
Southern civilization they will, ON their
part, protect their own interests, regard
less of the North. In other words, that II
the North and West choose to make an
alliance against Southern business inter
ests, the South will rely upon her own re-
sources, as she has been DONG ever since
the war, and permit the North To hold her

Bills to he Reported for New Railway

At the meeting of the House District
Committee to-day 1t was decided to report
favorably two bills--one without an
amendment and the other as amended
by the committee. The one without
amendment is to incorporate the East and
West Washington Traction Railway Com
pany Of the District. The proposed route
Of this road has heretofore been given in
THE CRITIC. Its incorporators are:

The bill to be reported, with amend
ments, is the Senate Bill to establish hos
pital and home for inebriates and dipso-
maniacs. The amendments to the bill
provide that the proposed home shall be
established upon the Arlington Reserva-
ton, if possible, andl if that be not possi-
ble 1t is to be put near st. Elizabeth's Asy-
lum, and that onehalf of the cost and ex-
penses of the home shall be borne by the
District and one-half by the United States.

Hands or the Sandwich Islands.


The death Of King Kalakaua exposes
the Hawaiian Islands more openly than
before to the projects Of foreign powers.
The late monarch himself was willing, il
is supposed, TO sell out his claim upon the
Government for q reasonable sum, and
there is nobody left who has the same
color of right to dispose of il. II is plain
that possession of the islands would be a
great convenience for the fleet of any mari
time nation, and u competition between
England and Germany would be expected
il the outreachings of the latter power
after remote dependencies did not seem
TO have been checked by the retirement OF
Bismarck. We have no great use for the
islands at present, and our form ofgovern-
ment is the worst in the world for manag'
ing distant colony. Nevertheless, IL Is
clearly our interest TO discourage the nc.
QUESTION of them by any European power
and to favor the maintenance of theiI
political independence.

THAT ONE MAJORITY.
How the Movement Against Cloture
Came to Prevail.

How the Movement Against Cloture
Came to Prevail.
Senator Stanford's position in regard to
the action of the Senate yesterday in pro-
ceeding to the consideration Of the Appor-
tionmcnt bill, was correctly stated by SEN
ator Stewart. Thus is the last prop to the
hopes of the friends of cloture and of the
Elections bill knocked out. However,
the Elections bill has shown such feline
wealth of lives that 1t is hardly safe to
venture prediction as to its ultimate
fate.
The votes of Senators Cameron and
Washburn whose rally to the aid of the
silver Senators accomplished the result,
are not to be taken as meaning that those
gentlemen are opposed to cloture and the
Elections bill as we'll. They are not. That
is, Mr.. Washburn is in favor of some
equitable form of cloture, though not
favorable to the Elections bill, while Mr..
Cameron would undoubtedly vote for the
bill If II ever reached a vote.
This move was planned on Sunday. It
is the shrewdest yet made by the Demo-
Gratis, and its conception is due to Senator
German. So nicely balanced were the OPP
posing forces that the movement might
easily have been defeated. How easily
the following incident will show:
senator GlDSOn OF Louisiana was aD-
sent. He was not paired. Unless some
Republican could be induced to pair with
him the vote would have been tie and the
ce-President would have voted for clo-
ture. Had Mr.. Wolcott's motion failed
yesterday the chances are that cloture
would have won the day and the Elec-
tions bill would have become law. Yet
Senator Gibson was absent at the crucial
moment. Senators Vest and Plumb are
cronies and have general pair
which operates in the absence
of either. Both were present
yesterday. Efforts were made to transfer
some pair to Mr.. Gibson so the Demo-
Crat present could vote. No Republican
would consent to the transfer. The situa-
ton was critical. Mr.. Vest went over to
Mr.. Plumb and made strong personal
appeal to him to pair with Mr.. Gibson.
The Kansan demurred at first, but finally
yielded to the treaties of the Missourian
and consented to save the lax Louisianian
from the effects Of his own remissness.
On the other side Senator Sanders was
absent, but this was speedily arranged by
Mr.. Allison's transferring his pair with
MIR. ingalls, to Mr.. Sanders. This enabled
Mr., Allison to vote
