A SUITABLE MACHINE GUN.
Difficulty of the Navy Department. in
Securing One.

The Navy Department is having consid-
cradle difficulty in securing a suitable ma
chine gun. AS a solution of the problem
it has been suggested that possibly two
distinct types, of common ,aliber, might
be selected. The last board of ordnance
officers which investigated this subject
was unable to agree upon a gun. 1t is now
said that a new board will he appointed to
consider the subject, and that the neces-
sary tests will be made at the Washington
navy yard. The members of the board
will probably be Commander Sperry, Prof
Alger and Ensign Twining. 1t is expected
that three guns will be submitted to The
beard: The Accles, new gun of which
comparatively little is known, the invent or
of which was formerly an employe of the
Gatling Company; the Maxim-Nordenfeldt
a gun which has met with considera BILE
favor abroad, and the celebrated Gatling
gun, which perhaps is the best known of
the three. The test will begin as soon rs
the Maxim Gun Company shall furnish a
sample weapon. The contract to furnish
these weapons is, of course. valuable one
especially as it gives official Endorsement to
the weapon selected.

4 DISASTROUS FIRE.
Burning of Dry Goods Store I'm
SOuthcast MashingtGn.

Fire this morning completely wiped out
the stock and fixtures of the Peoples Bar
gain Store, 1235-37 11th street southeast.
For time it looked though the flames
would spread to the adjoining buildings,
but by hard work the firemen managed to
confine them not only to the same building,
but even to the same floor where they had
their origin.
The fire broke out about $40 O'Clock. and
it was quite 1O:30 before it was really ex-
tinguished. Owing to the nature OF the
contents of the building the flames found
plenty to feed upon, and the result was
that they spread with great rapidity. The
alarm was turned in by Policeman Smoot
from box 526 and engines l and 3 and
truck A responded Assistant Chief Belt
was on hand and took charge of the fight
with the flames. 1t was soon seen that the
force was not sufficient to cope with the
fire and second alarm brought REIN
forccment and with it Chief Paris. The
policemen from the fifth precinct hastened
to the spot and maintained the best OF
order.
The burned building is a three-story
double brick, and was used for one of the
largest stores iii the vicinity of the navy
yard. The store is owned by II. Harrison,
who was in Baltimore this morning for the
purpose of buyirg his spring stock 1t was
general dry goods and furnishing store,
and carried a large line of goods. Pracu-
cally DctnlnS was lett OF tnerl but charreQ
remains, which were hardly worth shovel
ing out.
The store had two entrances. and between
them was a stairway leading to the upper
stories of the building, which were used as
boarding house All the occupants man
aged to make their escape without injury.
In the rear of this central stairway was
the connection between the two stores, and
iE this narrow passageway there was a big
box stove, from which the fire is supposed
to have started. All sorts of dry goods
were placed rear 1T. and result the fire
had excellent chance to spread in 10th
directions.
BY the time the fire, which WAS a hard
one to fight. had been exiting Iished, the
stock of dry goods was completely ruined
and the salvage amounted to little or rcth-
ing. In the upper part of the building COM
paratively little damage was done, and
most Of that was caused by the water,
which was necessary to flood The lower
story. The walls and ceiling We're con-
siderably damaged, but it will not require
a large expenditure to put them in good
shape.
Mrs Harrison said that the stock in the
store was worth 10000, and If that was
the case the loss was a heavy one. AT any
rate it was one of the most disastrous fires
Ia that section Of the city in many years.
