SATISFACTORY RESULTS.
A Ten Inch Pneumatic Gun Carriage Or
dered-Work at Sandy Hook,


Washington, Novemp Der 2S. The Board
of Ordnance and Fortlf1cations OF the
army, at its Last session held in New
York, directed the purchase of ten
inch pneumatic gun carriage. This is
the second carriage of this kind, and its
purchase was directed by Congress at a
cost of $50, O00
The board on range and position find
ers submitted report on tests as conduct
ed by it for instruments of this kind,
for seacoast guns. No instrument has
been selected, but the results obtained
have been most satisfactory, the error
being less than one per cent per 1000
wards in the Instruments tested. The
board allotted $1,000 for the purchase of
an improved Lewis range Under, and S25
for Weldon range finder. The latter IS
of English make, no special merits, ana
is to be used in connection with the tests
of th Lewis Instruments. The board,
during it's session, visited Sandy Hook
proving ground aud witnessed some very
interesting tests. Three yolleys were
fired simultaneously from the 16-mortal
battery. This is the first firing of the
kind ever had The results were very
satisfactory as to group firing, accuracy,
and the work of the mortars in the
pits.
The board also inspected the Arm
strong, Schneider Canet, and Hotch-
kiss rapid-fire guns. A few rounds
shot were fired from each. A COMPETE
tive test of these guns will soon be made
by the ordnance department. The board
adjourned until Dece,n Der IL.

HAPPENINGS AT AUGUSTA.
Citizens Want Protection from Electric
Wires-The Governors Course in Pardon
Cases.
Special to the PRESS.)

Special to the PRESS.)
Augusta, November 29.-There is a
prevailing sentiment among the citizens
of Augusta that the electric wires which
now form a network over our streets
should be protected by guards of some
kind to protect the people who are con-
stantly beneath them.
The cost to furnish this protection on
the thickly populated parts of the princi-
pal streets of the city would not be great:
and could be borne equally by the city
and by the different corporations.
There is no doubt that the wires in
Augusta are as safe, and the plants are
constructed in as costly manner, as
similar plants in other cities, but wires
will bregk, as was demonstrated The
other day when horse was electrocuted
on one of our principal streets.
The matter will probably be brought
up at the next meeting of the city gov
eminent.
Parties who come to Augusta to urge
the pardon of noted criminals now in the
state prison have not met with much en-
enlargement from Gov. Cleaves. In fact
one recommendation for pardon which
was made by the Council some months
ago has not yet been approved by the
chief executive.
Gov. Cleaves believes in making haste
slowly in pardon cases. Being an emf
nent lawyer himself. he grants no pardon
until the case has been thoroughly exam

to this place. He is thoroughly able,
however, to master the situation.

OUR CHINA FLEET.
More Ships Are Needed at the Scene of
the War.

Washington, November 29-The United
States is the only power that sent ship
of war for the protection of American
citizens at Pekin, Her force has within
two days been increased bya detachment
of fifty marines from the Baltimore.
Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities
the various foreign governments entered
into an arrangement by which all vessels
of war in Chinese and Japanese waters
would constitute one grand fleet to be
used for the protection OF the citizens
and subjects of all nationalities in China
and Japan.
The administration is taking no steps
to further increase the strength of the
Inadequate naval force OF the United
States in Chinese waters. The authori-
ties here are satisfied that there is no
need for more vessels in Chinese ports.
While nominally the Chinese squadron
consists of eight vessels, there are but
five actualiy present in Chinese waters,
the Y0i WI, Detroit and Machls Delng
on thei. ~ from the United States.
The Yorktown is due in Asiatic waters
now. and news of her arrival is expected
daily. but as the Detroit aid the Machias
arc Ell route from TIC s'gtStphi W
way of the Suez Canal, neithersaof them
is expected to be able to report to Admi-
raj Carpenter before some time in Janu-
airy. There is no good reason why other
ships could not be sent at once from the
Pacific station, where there are several
vessels that would be available for this
service.
The 800 ton cruiser Philadelphia is at
San Francisco, fresh from thorough
overhauling at the Mare Island navy yard.
and could leave for China on short notice.
The 100 ton gunboat Bennington. sister
ship to the Yorktown and Concord, is
also just out of dock at Mare Island. and
could be sent out at once, while the Mo
hican, Alert and Ranger are also at Mare
Island, and would be available in case OF
emergency. All, OF any number, OF these
vessels could be despatched for China on
short notice and if still further increase
of force would then be deemed advisable
the splendid new cruiser Olympia, which
is now receiving her finishing touches,
could be hurried into commission and
sent out to follow the others.
