SHOULD GO TO WASHINGTON.


1t is possible, though not yet certain,
that President Dole will 60 to Wash
ington. Minister Thurston has written
three letters to the Councils, urging
that the President should make the
Journey. 1t is felt that the state Of
Mr. Dole's health is such that a com
plete change of scene and atmosphere
would be Of advantage to him and
that the Hawaiian cause would be the
better for his intercourse with American
public men goes without saying.
Mr.. Dole is a natural diplomat who
would be recognized as the intellectual
equal of the ambassadors from Europe,
and who would impress upon President
Cleveland, his cabinet and the legls-
lators of the Senate and House as no
other Hawaiian could, the dignity and
Justice of the Island cause. False wit
nesses like Nordhoff have described
the reform leaders here as fillbusters
and brigands, the projectors and bene-
fciaries of national crime and as
greedy spectators in the land they
had plundered from the natives
Mr.. Thurston and Professor Alex
ander have done much to dlspel
this false idea and estimate; but Presl-
dent Dole could do more than both. AS
the representative chosen to lead the
revolution, he embodies its character
and designs, and in his own person is
a lofty refutation of the ISLANDERS of
Spreckels and the libels of Nordhof.
We believe that every week of his stay
in Washington would be marked by
an increased respect on the part of the
United States Government and of the
American people generally for the cause
that could enlist such a man as he
upon its side and in its leadership.

Tough Yarn of Manchu Monkeys.

An extraordinary story is told by the
London Daily Meas, which states that
DR.. Mcgowan has returned to Ten
Tsin, bringing with him, among other
curious discoveries, some particulars Of
a race of Manchurian monkeys inhabit-
ing the mountain region Of the Great
Wall of China. They are said to
know how to make pottery; more re.
markable still, they are represented as
having made extraordinary progress in
the art of making wine.
A recent edition of the official his
tory of Yungping states that lately a
large body of migrating monkeys
passed a certain village in crossing
from one mountain to another. The
boys of the village clapped their hands
and shouted at the spectacle, and the
monkeys, being frightened, fed, taxing
their young in their arms, but dropping
in their flight number Of esrthen yes
sells, some of which would hold a
quart. On opening these the villagers
found they contained two kinds OF
wine, a pink and a green, that had been
made Of mountain berries. 1t is
affirmed that the monkeys store this
liquor for use in winter when the water
is frozen.
DR.. Mcgowan cites other indie
pendent testimonies to similar facts,
including Chinese account of monk
eys in Cheklang who pound fruit in
stone mortars to make wine, and he
asks, SIS it likely that ali these state
ments are pure Inventions"

THE NEW NAVY RIFLE.

So much of a controversy has been
raised over the choice Of rifle for the
navy that these conclusions and state
ments by the Washington correspond
ence of a New York journal will be
read with interest by the STARS naval
and military subscribers
. The Board of which Commander
Converse is President, in its report on
the subject, has made an interesting
comparison between the new 80 calibre
Krag. Jorgensen gun, adopted by the
army, and the Mannlicher .256 calibre
rife, in support Of its view that advan-
tages would be obtained by carrying
the navy calibre still further below
The Mannlicher it showed, has barrel
an inch and quarter shorter than that
of our army gun, is lighter by over
four and half ounces, carries bullet
weighing fifty eight grains less, and has
a muzzle velocity of 1890 feet per
second, against 1900 feet for our army
rife.
Thus the enormous increase of nearly
one-fifth in initial velocity was obtained
by using the 256 calibre instead of the
80, provided the smokeless powders
employed in the two instances were of
equivalent ballistic strength. Remem-
boring that the ,256 is the o.5 MILL.
metre calibre, that the .2o5 is the rs
millmetre, and that the .3I5 is the 8
millimetre, we find the Naval Board
declaring that "the sectional density OF
the 6.5 mn. bullet being the same as
that of the 80 calibre, its carrying
power is the same, and, having vastly
greater initial velocity, its trajectory i:
hatter, and its terminal velocity il
greater at all ranges. The penetration
of the smaller bullet is also greater a
effective ranges. Moreover, the O.:
nm. ammunition being the lighter, one
fourth more rounds of it can be carried
with equal total weights. Finally, The
shock of recoi is less with smalle
calbre, Notwithstanding its grelte
muzzle velocity" The Board holds
that the superiority of the 65 nm
over the larger calibres from ballistiC
and tactical point of view is apparent
and explains the fact that this caibrt
or the 7 nm. has been the choice o
every nation which has recently adopted
a new arm, Moreover, even those
countries which have rearmed with the
7.s to 8 mm. calibres have carried on
or are carrying on, extensive tests with
the smaller calbres, and appear to be
only deferred from adopting them by
the enormous expense of rearming
1t is a curious fact that only one
rifle of a CALDER exceeding 7 nm. was
brought before the Commission which
last year tested small arms for Chill
and that rife was the only one Of the
lot which gave an initial velocity o.

less than 24oo feet Still, the very
lowest caliber adopted by any county
thus far is 2s6, as in the new rifle of
Italy, whereas the Naval Board has
recommended the much lower calber
Of .234 To justify this further de-
parture, the Board states that "exten-
sive tests with nm. and SIS MN.
rifles have been carried on" and that
several high authorities advocate the
immediate adoption of the smaller of
these.
1t would further appear that there
are several considerations that now
support the arguments for very small
calibers which were not SO potent for
merly. The first of these is the over
coming of certain difficulties in manu-
facture, so that S nm. guns have been
constructed 1t is admitted that in
creased cost of arms and ammunition
accompanies a reduction of caliber, but
this becomes considerable only when
the minimum bore is approached. A
second difficulty has been that with
the increased velocities and twist Of
rfling of the smaller calibers the strains
are greatly increased; but the improve
ment in the steel used for barrels has
overcome this too rapid wear, and the
greater strength of breech mechanism
allows these strains to be safely with
stood. Modern breeCh bolts can be
removed with ease, while the use CT
iacketed bullets without lubricant and
of powder having little or no residue
prolongs the life of small cali5er arms.
1t has further been urged as an
objection to the smallest Caibers that
the wounds produced by them will often
not avail to put the wounded out of
action and that their shock will not
stop the onset of excited men. This
is, however, held to be disproved by
results effected with the S.mm or .3I5
rifles in actual experience, SO that it is
mere assumption that the results will
be Intellectual with still smaller calibers.
Such in general are the arguments OF
the Naval Board, whose conclusions
have been accepted by the Bureau OF
Ordnance and by the Secretary The
adoption of nickel steel for the barrels
will, it is believed, preserve the latter
from all objections on the ground OF
the excessive wear in so small a Callbel
with high veIocties. That, with Other
things equal, it would be better to pro
vide the same C5liber for the navy and
the army is admitted, but it is urged
that other thirgs are not at all equal,
and that the occasions on which the
navy co-operates with the army in the
use If SNAIL arms are not frequent
enough to justify the sacrifice of the
great gains already spoken Of
While all this, however, may be very
true, the arguments in regard to calibel
are of SO general an application thai
the army can hardly be less interested
than the navy in the forthcoming com
petitions. That higher velocities vii
be the rule than those which were OBJ
tanned in the Springfield trials is, o
course, certain. BIT there are othe
considerations involved which will ne
doubt be carefully studied. 1t woulc
