The Naval Small Arms Board Near
ing a Decision as to Rifles.

T.Z
ing a Decision as to Rifles.
NEWPORT, R. l., May IA, 1S95.-The
Small Arms Board re-convened at the tor
pedo station today. By request OF the
Board, Inventor Lees rifle was shown with
some minor alterations. One or two other
pieces will also be presented before the end
of the week. 1t is anticipated that the re-
port of the present session will include a rec
commentator for the adoption of some one
of the pieces tried during the several sessions
of the Board, and general opinion is inclined
toward the Lee as the probable successful
one.
U. s. torpedo boat Stiletto arrived from
New York yesterday. During her absence
from her dock here she has burned but four
one-half tons of fuel. which is considered re-
markable, since she made 1914 knots on her
passage down and IA knots up on her return
with a fair tide. While in New York she
lay with banked fires.
On Thursday it is expected to give the
Cunningham torpedo another trial. One OF
them has been at the station all winter sub
jected to the various climatic changes. The
torpedo is one of the two purchased by the
Government for experimental purposes.
The other met with a mishap last Fall and
dove into the mud IN Caddington Cove. Diff
~ficulties then existing are believed to have
been remedied.
Lieutenant Holman is conducting a series
of tests with the Powell torpedo to determine
the most economical speed and pressure to
be used for the driving motor, which is at
tached to the t~orpedo's firing tube which
transmits power to the fywheel in the tor
pedo. Compressed air is being used at
various densities up to 1900. Steam of
much less pressure is now used, though
greater time is required to reach the de-
sired number of revolutions, which go as
high as 10000.
