SHILOH NATIONAL. PARK.
Mention The National Tribuns.

The positions occupied by soldiers Of both
the Northern and Southern armies during the
battle Of Shiloh, in Tennessee, win be- definitely
determined and marked at the Reunion of the
survivors on the battlefield in April. The de-
termination of these points by largo jury Of
survivors will be one of the first steps toward
putting into effect the recent act of Congress
making the battlefield q National Military
Park. About 1000 acres of picturesque land
that was desperately fought over on April s
and 2. 1862, is to be preserved as it was then.
and the graves OF 1000 Confederate soldiers.
who were buried on the field, will be saved
from oblivion.
The preservation Of this great battlefield In
this manner is due to the formation on April
10. 1893, of the Shiloh Battlefield Association.
The bill to provide for the Park at Shiloh was
fathered by Representative Henderson, of Iowa.
Tho measure passed both Houses readily and
was signed by the President last December.
Anticipating favorable action by-Congress,
members of the Association visited the battle
field and secured an option on the land at S12 an
acre, about half the price paid for the battlefield
of Chickamauga, which is also a National Park.
The Secretary Of War is to acquire title to the
site at Shiloh either under the act to authorize
condemnation Of band for public use or the act
to establish National Cemetery. as he may
elect, and as rapidly as title is secured to lands
and roads within the boundaries the work OF
converting them to the uses Of park may be

FUTURE PENSION APPROPRIATIONS

Commissioner of Pensions Lochren estimates
that there will not be any decrease in the
amount appropriated for pensions during the
next three years after 1896. The amount an
propriated for the fiscal year of 1895 in round
numbers is $4,000. 600; for the present wear
the amount was Sl5o, 100000. The reason for
the absence of any perceptible decrease ia that
the falling of, owing to deaths and other
causes, Is about counterbalanced by first
payments In pensions allowed. As cases
are allowed from time to time there are
large first payments, sometimes for arrears.
and always dated from the time the applica.
ton was filed. The decrease in some classes of
claims is quite great, rs in the pensions for tho
war Of 1872, which have decreased about so
per cent. in the past year. After three years.
when 1t is expected the majority of claims will
be adjudicated and there will be few remain
ing first payments, Commissioner Lochren OK.
poets there will then be rapid falling off of
pensions, as they have now reached the age
when it is to be expected. Ho then expects
tho pension appropriation will be diminished
in size very materially.

ARMY AND NAVY.

The probabilities are that in the near future
the officers of the United States Army will take
ON another designation of rank in the shape of
a metallic eagle. to be worn the front of
their hats. The question is under advisement
among the head officials of the War Depart
ment, and Ii is understood that the project is
very favorably regarded by many of them
Some Of the Army officers are urging 1t on the
ground that in European countries the officers
wear on their hats the coors of their sovereigns
They hold that it is plain and unmistakable
evidence Of nationality, AS well as of rank and
military service, and that the eagle is the Ma
tional American emblem 1t can BIO adopted to
the benefit of the service.
The Hirst gun. q new invention of DR.. Hirst,
of Mississippi, was tested at the Indian Head
proving ground last week. The gun was an
eight chamber smoothbore, the cartridge case
being divided into two parts. The test WAS
pronounced unsatisfactory.
There are some interesting contrasts in the
Navy Registers for 1894 and 1895. OF the six
ar-Admirals on the active list IN 1894 only
two appear in the list of 1895 Only two out of
10 Commodores serving in 1894 appear on the
active list OF 1895. The eight leading Captains
of 1894 have disappeared from the rank of Cap
tains in 1895 and nine Commanders that led
their fellows in 1894 have been promoted to the
foot of the Captains list. Ten Lieutenant
Commanders have been taken from the head of
the list and so have 10 Lieutenants, 10 Junior
Lieutenants, and IL Ensigns. There are minor
changes throughout the body of each list, by
reason of DEATH resignation. or the sentences of
courts-martial. Changes throughout the staff
have not been so notable.
1t now appears that officers of the Navy are
well satisfied with Senator Germans amend
ment OF the Naval bill so as to provide for six
eunboats and several torpedo-boats instead of
the hugo battleships. The gunboats provided
for will be OF no service in actual war, but as
peace cruisers they will be great addition to
the Navy, and strengthen it quickly md i'm
posingly so far as foreign nations are concerned.
The six gunboats will provide six separate
commands for idle naval officers, where the
battleships would only provide for one. The
six gunboats will be of small horsepower and
of consequently much greater coal capacity,
and will be economical addition TO the
Navy. They will carry The flag OF the country
into many more ports than the one battieship
could do. and at much less cost per boat, while
for many of the purposes for which a peace
cruiser Is wanted, such as to make demonstra.
tion at Bluefelds at any other of the South
American ports, they will accomplish as much
as q battleship. and can be placed in commission
years before the big boats can be gotten in the
water.

Il seems to be pretty well established
that the engineer corps OF our navy il, in
point Of the number OF officers composing
II. inadequate to the demands OF the en-
gine-rooms OF our new warships. Though
the amount and intrcacy Of the ma
chinery in q man-of-war has been vastly
increased during the last quarter of a
century. there has been no corresponding
increase in the number Of officers charged
with looking after IL. As consequence,
the strain upon nerves and health imposed
by the engine room watch has become a
very serious matter. and the corps ask
that the force he increased 80 per cent.
The New York Herald, in discussing this
subject. expresses the opinion that no less
addition to the force would meet the re-
auirements Of the situation. but thinks
it doubtful whether it Is necessary or de-
sirable 10 have commissioned officer OF
high professional skill and scientific edu-
cation kept OF dTly to run the engines
night and day. The needed relief. the
Herald SAYS. might be secured by con-
shutting the increase OF skilled ma
chinis,s, TO whom should be given good
nay and a rank similar 10 that of war
rant officers. Our contemporary seems,
however. TO anticipate that this PROPOSE
ton will be strongly antagonzed by the
navy people.
