Test of Small Bore Rifles.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The naval
small arms board has returned to Wash
ington from Newport. where it has just
completed second series of tests of small
bore rifles. The guns tested were the Luger,
a German gun, and the burst, California
weapon. The latter broke down and was
withdrawn. The Luger. from all reports
did better than any gun examined. 1t is Of
the modified Manser type and uses rimless
ammunition. 1t happened that the breach
mechanism of the rifle submitted in compe-
tition was designed for a cartridge slight
ly larger than the naval service cartridges
which difficulty was overcome temporarily
by crimping down the German shell to fit
the naval standard ball The Luger rifle has
three faults. according TO the boards re-
port. The trigger can be pulled before the
bolt is completely locked; there is no indi-
cation of an empty magazine, and a special
tool and pin are required to dismount the
magazine. The board recommends that the
Luger rife. adapted TO present design naval
cartridges (but rimless) be among the guns
to be tried at the final trial recommended
by the board in its previous reports.

BIand's view of Carrisle's Duty.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26-In response to a
telegram forwarded to Hon. r. p. Bland,
asking an expression or the bond issue, the
following was received from Lebanon,
No., to-day:
IF the Secretary of the Treasury would
exercise his option to pay out silver for
greenbacks and treasury notes issued under
the sherman law, there could be no drain
or gold from the treasury. The govern
ment OF France does this, and keeps all her
money at par. This bond issue business
looks like an attempt to force Congress to
retire our treasury notes and to substitute
a system of national bank currency The
fight is still on between the advocates of
the free coinage of silver as the true mode
of currency reform and the adherents of
the national banks. 1t is proposed by the
latter TO farm out to corporations the
power to control the value and volume of
money. Surely the money monopoly of this
country now thinks IL Is in the saddle but
time will tell whether the people or monop-
oily are to rule this country. Yours truly,
"R. p. BLAND."

to two weeks ago, the members
of the family intended to re-
move him to Townsville, Georgia,
in the belief and hope that
he would be benefited by the change in
climate. At that time, however, ne be-
gan to sink and became worse so rapidly
that these plans were abandoned. For
two weeks prior to his death he was in a
precarlous condition, and the attending
physicians entertained no hope for his
recovery. Death came at the hour
mentioned and relieved him Of
his sufferiugs. AT his bed
side during his last Illness

Philadelphia, and the members OF his
family. His wife and two children,

THE RITERI RISING
AND SIEAMBOATMEN IN FETTER FRAME
OF MIND.
A Fair Boating Stage Assured On the Upper Ohio.
Activity On the Whart-Nsws from
Other Points.

The continuous rains during the past
week have caused a good swell in the
river, and as the waters go up there is
corresponding rise in the hopes and
expectstions Of steamboat men. The
Ohio has not been acting very we'll all
summer, and the river interests have
suffered in consequence. The water
started to rise Friday night, and at
midnight last night the marks on the
landing showed feet 6 inches In the
channel.
The kilograms from up-river points
indicate that the water is rising, and
will reach several feet at Wheeling.
Encourged by this news steamboatmen
have been making preparations for re-
sumlng their regular trade. The Courier
left Petersburg Thursday evening,
( and will be running on time. The Ben
Hur also raised steam, and the Liberty
and Phillips have resumed their regular
trips.
There are scenes OF activity about
the public landing, which have not
been witnessed for several weeks,
while at the wharf boat there are heavy
receipts and shipments Of freight mat
ter. Up at Plttsburg the hope is en-
tertained that the rise will assume such
proportions as to permit the floating Of
the coal which has been accommodating
in the pools since the August rise.
Below are kilograms from other
points:

PARKERsBURG, November 3.-The
Voyager succeeded in getting up over
the dam below Blennerhassett Island
Yesterday, and is now lying with the
other tow boats at the foot OF the Is
land.
The feet Of stranded towboats below
here are watching their chance TO get
out and up the river. The recent slight
rise has inspired their crews with hope,
and several Of them fred up yesterday
so as to be able to seize the frst oppor-
tunity to start for Pittsburg.
The Lyde II. came up this morning
and went on to Marietta on her regular
trip.
Experienced river men are rather
skeptical as to thsFe being enough water
coming TO let the towboats out or enable
the packets that have started out to
continue long.
