several TestH were M de CT vhe bhuurDehh Eins ubmitted by the HotchkIss Ord
 nance Company and They Were Found to 'iand Them.
 Newport oct. 5.-The naval rife board to-day devoted Its time to the test Of the Dandebean rife submitted by the Hotchkiss Ordnance company. The | company was represented by General Albert ordway. commanding the Ma tional Guard Of the District of Colum- bia. and Rifle Inspector Thomas S. King of the san,e deparement. The test took place at the Rose Island range. First MT. King fired twenty shots from the rife as n single loader with manipulation. as test of manipu- lation by any expert. ''here were then twenty more shots fired in like man test of manipulation of the arm by one not familiar with 1t.
 The endurance test was then made. This Is considered particularly severe, since Ave hundred rounds are to be tired without cleaning or alteration of the piece. In five hundred rounds fired thirteen miss-fires were noted. In but three of which could the cartridges be fired In another gun. During the test there also developed a mechanical un- s.eadiness of the work of the extractor. which. 1t Is claimed. may be overcome.
 The defective ammunition test had to be postponed because the ammunition supplied as defective was perfect. An attempt to stick cartridges by the use of rosin proved futile. Cartridges were given an excess of five grains of riflite. The rapidity and accuracy tests consist ed of twenty shots each by experts and novlces. The experts time was 1: :21 :1J, novices' 2:14. The expert fired twenty eight shots in two minutes, and the novice twenty-five in a like time. In test of dissembling and assembling the rife the experts time was 1:26 and 1:46 resectively, novices' POT and 3:20. The dust test will occur tomorrow and then the rife will be prepared for the rust test.
 This rife is of French invention and a similar one is in use in the French cavalry and some South American coun- tries. As submitted here it Is consider ably improved.
 Monday the Remington people are expected to test their pieces.

Many of them have discarded their oriole decorations and have donn- ed plain black. It was not alone the loss of to-days game by the orioles. however, that caused the dissatisfac- ton. The behavior of the players while or the field had much to do with It.
 This morning the orioles were in as uncertain frame of mind over the play Ing of the Temple series as they were yesterday. Some of the players were sulking and were angling and McGraw asserted he would not play another game. The people then began to crlti- else the pennant winners and insisted that the players defend the city's fair name for sportsmanlke conduct.
 Manager Hanlon presented the con ditions and the players and they were all on the field. but their minds were In chaotic state and their nerves not of the steadiest. The boys put up a good game, however, and partially re- deemed themselves in the opinions of their friends. The teams left for New York tonight, where the third game of the series will be played to-mor- row.
 Nearly eleven thousand persons were on the grounds when the game was called. The New Yorks won by out-batting the home team. They earned four runs in the third inning The Balt!mores tied the score in their half of the same inning and took the lead in the seventh. The giants tied the score in the eighth and won out in the ninth through Jennings error. The side would have been retired had Jen- nings made what would ordinarily have been an easy play.
