1t is smokeless powder. which, with about
half the charge OF ordinary gunpowder.
has. In oil calibres up TO and including the
finch, given an increase Of from 100 to 200
feet per second. and without increase Of
chamber pressure. It hes tho valuable
property Of being unaffected by heat. 20
that It will probably keep In all climates.
Undoubtedly It will soon DO a complete sub
stitute for gunpowder In all calibrcs OF 9
inches and less. This success In field OF
so much importance would alone make the
past year Of tho Bureau Of Ordnance q
brilliant one.
Tho bureau has arranged for obtaining
$4,000 pounds Of gun cotton. II has also
produced fuse mixture which will allow
emmenste to he used Us the bursting
charges OF Shells In other words. II has
nearly or quite solved the great problem Of
throwing largo quantities Of high ex-
plosives from powder guns. An 11inch
mortar to throw shells containing 100
pounds OF cmmensite has been installed
for trial Mt Indian Head.
In proiectlles tho vastly important result
has been achieved of obtaining American
armor-plercing shells. nearly approaching
in quality tho best made anywhere: and
yet year ago our navy had nothing that
could pierce modern armor. At the same
time tho cost Of producing cast-lron or
binary shells has been greatly reduced ct
the Washington gun factory, and large
quantities Of steel shells are made by pri-
vate firms. The automobile torpedOes are
go advanced that they will be issuedto our
cruisers early in tho coming year. and will
be equal. II not superior. to those possessed
by foreign nations" In the mounts Tor
batteries and In torpedo defence nets prog
ress has also been made. Tho navy's new
smokeless powder would allow 1t to supply
its enlisted force with small arm Of re-
duced calibre. such as European countries
now use. were it not awaiting decision on
the same question by the army, as It Is bet
ter that the ammunition Of the two services
should be interchangeable.
The many important results thus achieved
by Commodore FoLeER's bureau during the
past year foreshadow other notable tri-
umphs for the year to come. But with the
best armor in the world already secured
for our ships. batteries Of uniformly high
excellence turned out. and the problems Of
smokeless powder. armor.pierclng proiec-
tiles, and high explosives In powder guns
substantially solved. oil. too, by the use Of
American devices only. 1t will be difficult
for any succeeding twelvemonth to equal
the record Of the one just closed.

1t ia becoming clear MS It is sad fact
that the conservation Of Mr.. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND has lost It's frcshness. We do not pre-
tend to understand the reason. for he re-
news his conservation every day. Sundays
included. It ought to be as bright as tho
face Of q Muswuinp who has Just read the
reports from the civil service examination
cells in China: II Is Ms dim as the face OF
Mugwump after election. Either the origi-
nal recipe for conservation has been lost or
the ingredients no longer have their former
effect. It is no want OF industry on his part.
for he spends most of his time rcconse-
Grating himself and recommending conse-
Grafton 10 others; but he las either lost the
secret or the habitual use Of consecra-
ton has 80 accustomed his constitution
TO Il that 1t falls to work. In the
days when his conservation was fresh
and new. he never neglected to lot the
country have tho benefit Of It seven times q
week at least. No boys school could have
debate about Presidential candidates with
out receiving. postpaid. some Of his conse-

Office without Mr.. CLEvELAND's turning up
after the election with q Job lot Of consecra-
ton, which, he asserted. he had been devot-
ing silently to the benefit Of the Demo.

hat cn,pokhtno Ia tho rnn ttnr with tho
great nostrum now. Mr.. CLEvR1AND's de-
sire to consecrate himself and to induce
others toconsecrate themselves is as strong
as ever. but the conservation is felt to be
weak. 1t is not the same old conservation.
Instead OF the cheerful confidence and
healthy cheek which it used to produce.
there Is tired feeling. Tho Mugwumps
continue to take conservation. but 1t only
makes them more irritable and depressed.
It does not follow that conservation Is to
become impossible simply because Mr..
CLRvEnANp's present store has lost It's
virtue. Pure and cficacious conservation
may yet be obtained. II Mr.. CLEVELAND
will consult Mr.. GEohaE FRED. WILLIAMS
of Dedhom and Mr.. SHERMAN HoAR Of Wal
than he may find what Is wanting in his
conservation. These young gentlemen have
set to work with really admirable vigor
to fill themselves. the State OF Massachu-
sets, and the Fifty-second Congress with
conservation. They have consecrated them
selves to tariff smashing and the view-with-
alarm view OF the silver question. They
are younger. thinner, more active. moro
consecrated than Mr.. CLEVELAND. and just
as proud Of themselves and attached to
themselves. II the real article Of consecra-
ton is to be found anywhere. It can be found
on them: and In his own interest. and for
the sake Of his credit with the Mugwumps.
Mr.. CLEVELAND should ask his young
friends from Massachusetts, for the recipe.

The largest crowd of the season, thus
far, visited Long Beach yesterday. The
ocean was never in better condition, and
hundreds enjoyed the surf during the
greater portion Of the day. Besides the
many who filled the trains of the South
ern Pacific road, a great many people
visited this resort in vehicles of their
own. Late in the afternoon the smooth
compact beach presented lively scene.
Besides the numerous promenaders on
shore and the bathers in the surf, there
were scores of persons riding near the
edge OF the water in carriages and bug
gies, the beach at this point being one
OF the finest in the world for driving.
Major j. A. Donnell spent the day at

among the visitors and bathers.
