FOR THE NAVY.
Report of the Chief of the Naval
Ordnance Bureau.
Over Nine Million Dollars Required
for the Next Fiscal Year.
Seven Millions of This required for the
Armament of New Vessels Already Au-
thorlzed-Ten Thousand of tho New
Small Arms Have Been Ordered.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.--The naval
ordnance bureau requires over S9,oOO,-
900 next year, of which $1,000, 900 is
needed for the armament of new YES
sells already authorized The annual
report of Com. Sampson, chief OF ord
nance, shows II big brecch loading
rifles have been completed this year,
and that more than half OF the
required smaller guns are now in use.
The difficulty of securing proper
brown prismatic powder is shown by
the fact that while 600, SAT pounds were
accepted last year, 1856, 200 were reject
ed. Efforts have therefore been in
creasing to perfect smokeless powder
manufacture. The contractors have
delivered over 1000 tons of plates up to
October /, of which 1,O75 tons were
Harveyized. The average cost per ton
which in 1895 was S811.2G was this year
S451.72 Notice is taken of the first
foreign orders for armor ever placed in
this country, Russia having contracted
with the Carnegie and bethlehem
works for 1000 and 5000 tons respect
lively. In referring to the delivery of
the new small arm, of which 10000
have been ordered. the very small cali
bre of which has been criticised, Com
modore Sampson declares that at the
present moment no nation having any
pretentions to military or naval power
has in contemplation any other change
in the caliber of its small arms than a
still further reduction"
The navy now has l12 Whitehead
torpedoes in use, 1S6 more being held
in reserve for new ships and torpedo
boats. All the six-inch rifles in the
service are being changed to rapid fire
weapons
In instancing the remarkable prompt
ness with which vessels on the home
station can have their explosive stores
rcplenished it is said that the Stilleto
lett Newport one morning and deliv-
cred 5000 pounds of smokeless powder
to Fort Wadsworth, n. Y, and South
Ambery, N. j., within twelve hours
The bureau has ordered 1000, 900
rounds of ammunition for the new
small arm.

TO 25 CENTS
An Ounce the Price OF Silver
May Fall.
BECAUSE IT Is DISPLACED

1y Aluminium In the Arts and For Me-
! chanical Uses, In Witch 1t Proves q
More Desirable Metal - why silver
Has Ceased to BE Precious Metal-A
Better Metal Which Can Be Bought
at Sixty Cents n Ponnd.
Mr.. John Holland of this city, the
widely known maker of pens, pencil
cases and like articles, is one of the
many veteran Democrats who will re-
fuse to follow the leadership of the
Chicago candidate and to indorse the
Chicago platform. He is sound
money man and will vote for McKin-
ley.
In Mr.. Hollands s view the proposal to
adopt the silver standard in this coun-
try is preposterous. He is of the opin-
ion that the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver not only would not ad-
vance the price Of this metal. but that
silver would continue to decline. Its
displacement in the arts and for me-
chanical uses has, he thinks, made sill
yer practically no longer a precious
metal. Mr. Holland said yesterday:
II HAVE BEEN HANDLING GOLD
AND SILVER FOR S5 YEARS. 1
FIRST EXPERIMENTED WITH ALU-
MINUM IN 1862. IN THAT YEAR
THE PRICE OF ALUMINIUM WAS
$3.50 AN OUNCE. THERE WAS LIT
TIE CHANGE IN THE PRICE UN-
TIL 1889, WHEN 1T FELL TO s1.25
AN OUNCE. IN 1893 ALUMINIUM
WAS 50 A POUND. TODAY IT is 60
CENTS A POUND. THERE IS NOW
AN IMMENSE DEMAND FOR THIS
METAL. THE ANNUAL PRODUCT
OF ALUMINIUM IN THE UNITED
STATES IS ABOUT 70, ,OOO, 900 OUNCES
ABOUT 100000 OUNCES MORE
THAN THE ANNUAL PRODUCTION
OF SILVER.
Two factories, one in Pittsburg and
output Of eight tons day. The entire
product of 70,000,00O ounces year
presses upon the market for SILVER 1t
takes the place of silver in various
kinds of manufacture. And the de-
mand is increasing right along. At
none of the mills can an order be filed
in less than two or three weeks.
CIT is SAFE TO SAY THAT 100
OUNCES OF ALUMINIUM ARE NOW
USED IN THE ARTS AND MECHAN-
ICS TO ONE OUNCE OF SILVER, BE-
CAUSE ALUMINIUM is THE BETTER
METAL, 1T DOES NOT OXIDIZE
FROM THE EFFECT OF SULPHUR
OR OXYGEN, AND IN FACT is OF
GREATER PRACTICAL VALUE
THAN SILVER.
mot only in my business has the
use Of silver been vastly reduced, but
millions Of books or packages of sill
yer leaf, once used in book binding and
and sign-maling, have been displaced
by aluminium because the latter is
more durable. Twenty-Five years ago
many watch cases were made of silver.
Today they are seldom seen. Filled
gold cases have been substituted and
have thus reduced the market for sill
yer.
"As THE USE OF ALUMINIUM
GROWS-AND 1T IS BOUND TO
GROW CONTINUALLY AND RAPID
LY - SILVER WILL BE ALMOST
WHOLLY DISPLACED. 1T is NOT
IMPROBABLE THAT WITHIN THE
NEXT TWO YEARS SILVER WILL
FALL TO 25 CENTS. AN OUNCE

McKinley's Apt Sentences.

In his brief addresses made to visit
ing delegations at Canton, Major Nc
Kinley has developed wonderful
power Of sententious speech. He
crystalizes a truth in a sentence, and
the winged words" go, straight as an
arrow to its mark, to the heart of the
dominant political issue. In his re-
marks to the First Voters club of
Cleveland, he said, for example:
1t is of little moment that the coun-
try was saved by the dread ordeal Of
war, if it cannot be continued in peace
with honor.
And, again, he uttered this whole
some truth:
No nation can command respect at
home or abroad if it does not at all
times, uphold the supremacy of the
law and the inviolability of its sacred
obligations.
Patriotic, wise and sensible utter
ances these, especially when compared
with the frothy demagogism of Bryan's
peripatetic utterances. The words OF
the two men decide, to every thinking
man, who should be the nations choice
for president-Toledo Blade.
Even the "Heathen Chinee" Can See 1t.
One of the we'll known Cinnamon OF
the. city pointed to campaign badge
which an "Olympian" reporter was
wearing and inquired, What for?"

stern reality of war is being felt here,
and the campaign against the insur-

President Zelaya He is on his way to
meet the enemy, and has captured the
town of Nagarote Momcntobo, on Lake

the inhabitants have fed in terror.
This town was one of those that de-

1t is reported that the rebels in Mic
aragua now count surely upon the sup
port of nearly all the western provinces.
The rebel forces have increased to
1900 men. 1t is expected that the in
surgents at Leon will soon attack
the government forces at Matearos,
one of the principal strategic positions
held by President Zelaya. The stu
alton is daily growing more serious.
Business is paralyzed, and the gather
