continues. Although Acting Mayor
McNabb wrote Governor MacCorkle
that he would furnish posse OF 100 OF

either TO be ruse for the strikers to
get hold OF the prisoners arrested, or n
picco OF impartinencc, and the governor
treated his offer with tho contempt it
deserved, for .McNabb had been lore
most in his opposition to tho sheriff. 1t
is thought he has been acting under
the orders of one Berkeley Moore, who
is personal enemy OF the governor.
The report that thirty Chesapeake &
Ohio coal cars were burned this after

in the fact that an old man living in q

vice." an expression of his views on the
subject.
G., He says the necessities of the service
are constantly increasing, while its
effective force Is constantly decreasing,
and, unless some remedy is provided
by congress, the time can not be very
far distant when the secretary of the
treasury will be compelled to seriously
consider the propriety of discharging a
number Of superannuated and infirm
officers from so to "a years of age in
order to fll their places with Others
who are competent to discharge the
duties of the positions which they now
hold.
Two of the officers now on the wait
ing orders" list have been connected
with the service more than sixty years,
and several of them have served more
than thirty years, They were appoint
ed for life, and are now receiving the
same pay from the government that
they would receive il the proposed bill
should become law. AS a result, we
have retired list, or waiting orders
list, but without authority of law, tc
I'LL the places of the officers who com
pose it.
No such conditions exists, or can ex-
list, in any other branch of the public
service, and in the opinion of the secrc'
tary the proposed bill, or some meas
ure Of similar character, should be
prepared by congress in order to place
this very useful part of the customs
force upon an efficient basis.

BIG GUNS NO GOOD.
Chairman Cummins Declares That q Ten.
Inch One Is Large Enough.

WASHINGTON. March 24-Chairmar
Cummins of the house committee on
naval affairs, is not believer in huge
guns for naval purposes such as were
recently tested at Indian Head.
I'm my judgment" said he, "a ten
inch gun is the largest we should make,
as it combines the greatest efficiency
with the least disadvantage. At An,
nopolis saw one of the thirteen-inch
guns similar to the one tested nj
Indian Head, mounted on an Italian
war ship II was on raised turret,
with delicate machinery for swing
ing the gun on an eccentric.
But the delicacy of the machin-
cry was better suited to n
watch than to heavy gun.
A six-pound shot dropped into it would
have destroyed this delicate mechan-
ism and crippled the gun. These dis
advantages of mounting and handling
huge guns quite outweigh any advan-
tages they have in effectiveness. 1t
was established at the Indian Head
trials that a ten-inch gun is sufficiently
effective to demolish any armor plate
made. That being So there is no need
of getting any more effectiveness All
beyond the ten-inch gun is waste"
