The Gun Board Is Now Wondering Why the
lime Was Extended.

SPRiSGFIEip. Mass, May 3.--Anoiher
chapter was added to the gun board fare
when the board re-conyened and found that
no American inventors hal taken advantage
of the extension of time provided by Secrc-
tary Lamont. There being no guns on
hand, adjournment was taken until next
Friday, when the new members will be
present.
NJ. II. bursts guns will be the first tu
undergo the tests, but as all of them are OF
the same design and as he has already beer
listed, the board knows their relative mer-
its pretty we'll.
The Hampton gun, invented by T. p.
Wilson of this city, will next be tested
This weapon is constructed on a novel
principle. making use of the device of a
gravity feed ard doing away with all
springs in the magazine. While the maya.
zine is American, it is alleged that Mr.
Wilson has borrowed many of his ideas in
reference to the bolt from die krag-Jorgc1-
sen gun.
All of these guus were submitted on
March 50 and would have been examined
in regular order, even without the exten-
sion of time, and the board is now wonder
ing who was benefited by this latest move.

FROM VALPARAISO TO CHICAGO.
A Bold Navigator Who Is Coming in a twenty
Foot Boat.

PASANA May 3-On March 10 the bold
navigator BOSNIAN, who is sailing from
Valparaiso to Chicago in 20-toot boat,
left the Chilian port on his venturesome
voyage. The route he is to follow has been
materially changed, and he now intends To
90 via the Isthmus, which he will cross by
rail with his boat. The terrors of the
Straits and of the stormy South Atlantic
were too much for even lis dauntcss
spirit.
As it is. the contract he has undertaken
is big one. Having safely reached Pa
numa and crossed the Isthmus, Bossmai.
will launch his little craft at Colon and en-
bark for the st. Lawrence, by winch route
he hopes to reach the shores of Lake Mich
igan before the end of June.
Why he should have chosen the St Law
renee route does not appear, since he could
make his way to Chicago through United
States territory more expeditiously and
safely. II he is as fortunate as his pluck
deserves, visitors to the Worlds Fair may
have an opportunity to looking upon the
boidest lone navigator of the ocean that has
SO far attracted public attention.

THE MONrEReY'S TROUBLE.
Condensed Salt Water Encrusts the Coil Boil
ers Every Two Weeks.

SAS Francisco, May 3.--one of the
officers cf the Monterey gave detailed ae-
count of the trouble. He said that when
the Monterey left the navy yard it was the
intention to anchor her in the vicinity in
whic she now lies and there overhaul her
boilers and patch up few unimportant
leaks sprung during her trial trip. There
are still 1000 due the contractors an.
they have to put her into condition for The
government test before they are entitled TO
it.
Since her trial steam has been kept up
kept up in the coil boilers, an they have
become heavily crusted with substance
caused by mineral ell coming in contact
with condensed salt water. The coating in
Grasses rapidly, and the officers estimate tina,
il will be necessary to clean the boilers
every two weeks. The vessel is provided
with other coil boilers. but they were only
intended for emergencies.
1t is probable that the report of the hoartl
on the Montereys trip will contain \
recommendation to discontinue the coil
