Albany Sept. 2S.-Sensational developments
are promised at hearing to be had before Gov
ernor Morton next week. The Governor has re-
ceived a number of protests from gun anufact-
urers against his approval of the report of the
special commission which he appointed to select
a gun for the National Guard of the state. This
commission. after testing dozen guns of differ
ent manufacture. submitted strong report to
the Governor in favor of the one manufactured
by the Savage Arms Company Of Utica. Some
of the other competitors In the gun test before
the commission allege colluson with regard to
the selection of the Savage gun, and assert that
they have evidence which would tend TO show
that favoritism exercised in the tests.
The Winchester Arms Company Of New-Ha-
ven Is the principal mover in the endeavor to
upset the report of the commission before the
Governor. 1t is understood that General Benja-
min +. Tracy and David WelCh. of New York.

Company before the Governor. At the latter s
request Governor Morton has agreed to give the
prOtestants hearing next week on Wednesday

Adjutant General. in pursuance Of a legislative
enactment, is authorized to contract for 1J.OOO
rifles at cost OF $500 600 with which to rearm
the State militia.

BEES AT ASCOT.

They Made Things Lively Mt the Race
Track for Awhile.
A curious incident occurred at Ascot,
says the London Telegraph. While a
large number of pleasant luncheon par
ties were enjoying the delights of an
open-air repast in the gardens behind
the grand stand a great swarm of bees
settled down on the guests around
table in a corner. They buzzed and
buzzed everywhere. Ladies had bees
in their bonnets and gentlemen found
their hats turned into striking like
nesses of "Catch-'em-alive-oh Some
OF the swarm settled ON the cold salmon,
and other members of it tumbled into
the champagne cup. In fact, the bees
created the greatest CONSERVATION
among the ladies and gentlemen in
that quarter of fairgrounds.
They were gradually drawn off the
luncheon party by a gentleman. to
whom occurred the happy idea of
treating them to a little music on a
metal tray under a tree. After the
tapping or tinltling on the article had
continued for two or three moments
the queen bee settled on the branches
above to listen to it and was at once
followed by all the swarm. 1t was an
extraordinary sight to see hundreds of
the insects hanging like great black
and gold clusters on the tree while the
tinlsling continued. It ceased with the
luncheon and the bees did no harm.
In the earlier part Of the performance
a lady was pretty severely stung.

Most successful treatment is use of
hot foot baths for fifteen minutes three
times day; follow each bath with mas
sage for fifteen minutes, then apply
snugly O. rubber bandage from the toes

with such success that they are seldom
incapacitated for work longer than q
