NEWPORT, May 29.-Steamer City OF
Newport bearing the Governor and the
distinguished company OF State officials,
staff officers and members-elect OF the
General Assembly reached the Com
niercial dock shortly after o'clock
after quiet and uDeventful passage down
the bay. The cargo OF necessity was al
most exclusively OF the Republican faith,

the only member aboard who will sit
with the lonesome minority in the House
chamber. But the quaint and steady native
distinction of being something in the
nature Of curiosity, and be held
his own in the banter and by play
which served to enliven the trip.
He was subsequently joined by
ex- Representative Greene OF Woonsocket
and ex- Reading Clerk Conley, and they
managed TO survive the ordeal quite grace
fully. Perhaps one OF the most conspic-
uous figures aboard was the Hon. Samuel

Brayton, who came out in satin-faceo

subjected to the button holing process
by candidates for positions on the
important committees, and he occa-
sionaliy took counsel with his East
Providence colleague, and the stalwart {.
II. Il. whose experienced judgment served
as reliable guide. The joint special
committee of the City Council chosen to
protect the interests OF the city seemed to
lie taking solid comfort. In fact, the
whole atmosphere seemed TO be buoyanl
and fraternal, and peace and contentmen'
held full sway.

TOMORROW'S CONVENTION

Perhaps some Washington people found
themselves asking today. Where do all
these men with little red cross buttons in
their lapels come from and what are they
here for?' The little button is the modest
badge of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew
and the hale and hearty young and middle
aged men wearing it are the advance guard
of the brotherhood'S ninth annual conven-
ton. which opens In the Church of the

The general secretary of the order. John

evening, says that the brotherhood does not
claim to have introduced into the life of
the church any new feature. 1t has simply,
by emphasizing the responsibilities of the
individual man, and his duties as a citizen
of the kingdom of God, helped to restore
an old and almost forgotten type of lay

SURE DEATH.
Destructive Powers OF the New Small
Bore Rf0ea.

70 When the War Department decided to
abandon the old heavy ealiber Springfield
rifie and ann the troops with the Krag-
Jorgensen small caliber repeating rifie it
was predicted by the adherents of the old
arm that the new weapon would disappoint
lts friends In its lack Of destructive power
IL would, they admitted, have a greater
range, but the small steel bolt projectile
II was asserted. would bore a clean hole
through a mans body that would not be as
tatal as the large wound inflicted by the
big lead Springfield bullet Now, all this
prediction has been disproved by exneri-
ments made by the medical stan of the
German army, and reported by our bureau
OF military Information. The terribly de-
structive effects Of the new weapon appear
strikingly set out in this report II is said
that the wounds inflicted by the small-bore
bullet, notwithstanding its diminutiye size
are highly destructive, owing to its enorm,
Gus speed OF rotation, which causes the it's
sues struck to be torn within a radius of
Iour inches. There are many old veterans
carrying Springfield bullets in their bodies

Up to ego yards a bullet striking the

oop TO LOO yards almost a mile) most
serious. and in many cases. fatal wounds
are certain to be inflicted. Beyond LEGO
Yards the Injuries caused resemble those
inflicted IL by the round bullets. which were
In use before 1SG0."
Our army officers felt that they had pro-
dressed to the line of safe practice when
they adopted the caliber Of 7.62 millimeters
or d OF an inch for their rife in 1892 and
they We're disposed to criticise the Navy
Department when 1t went beyond them
ana still further reduced the caliber of
their rifles to millimeters. or 236 inches
only trife larger than a 22-caliber pocket
pistol But now, In the last report, they
concede that the tendency Of the best au-
thorities seem to be toward a still smaller
caliber. some professional men even assert
Ing that the caliber should not be larger
than SO millimeters. One result of the re-
duction of caliber of the greatest value for
military purposes is shown by the new
navy rife, which will shoot point blank up
to rs yards. This means that at any dis
lance within two-ffths of a mile the men
can shoot accurately without any allo- ance
for the dropping of the bullet and are thus
relieved from the necessity of adjusting
their sights for each range included.

will probably be remedied to-day.
