THE NEW MAGAZINE RIFLE.
SmOkeless Powder Ordered to Test Ii.
The First Lot Nearly Ready.

The ordnance department. has ordered
10000 rounds of different brands CT smoke
less powder for use in testing the barrel
of the proposed new small arm for the
navy. which tests are to be made ut the
proving grounds at Indian Head. Several
of these barrels are completed. Some have
been tested at Newport with the pressure
gauge, but the tests We're merely preliini-
nary to those to be had at indian Head.
which, in addition to determining the best
style of barrel, are also to determine the
extent of the charge to be used. The bar
rel manufactured in part Of nickel and
IN part OF steel has given satisfactory re-
suits, but further tests are considered nee
essary TO determine whether ii is superior
to the barrel made entirely of steel as a
small arm for naval purposes
The First Lot Nearly Ready.
II is said at the War Department that
the first lot of the new thirty-caliber mag
azine rife adopted for the use of the army
will be ready for issue by The LIST proxin,o.
The lot will consist of about 1000 pieces.
The ordnance officers are now considering
the question of the best method of distrib-
uting the rifles. 1t has been decided to
equip the various regiments ne at a time
and to complete the equipment of ore he

issued or even which particular regiment

The delivery of the guns will undouhi elly

after that Ii Is expected that they viii be
turned out at the rate of 1000 a month

crossing satisfactorily and will undoubtedly

domestic manufacture were recently de-
livered to the ordnance department.

with that distinction he should not seek
addltioral honor in the shape of more cash
