MERIT or SPRINGFIELD llFlEs

Army Experts Claim Thoir Superior.
.... ity over the Msuser.
Washington. July 1.-THE ordnance
officers Of the army are indignant at
the statements that have appeared In
the press, some of them attributable to
high army officers, questioning the
merits Of the Springfield rife, with
which . large proportion Of the Uni
ted States army Is armed. These
statements they say are calculated to
do indefinite harm among the volunteer
forces. though the regulars know and
like the old Springfield too well to dis
trust 1t now, The principal argument
made against its employment by the
critics is that Its short range enables
the Spanish Mapsers to pick off our
men long before they get within range
Of the Springfields. This is said to be
based upon error. The Springfields have
a range Of $500 yards, which Is only
few hundred yards short of the Maui
sers, and the formers big 500 grain bull
let is said to have greater killing
power at the long range.
Such able soldiers at Colonel Ray
and Colonel Schuyler, Of New York,
who are organizing independent regi-
ments, have specially requested the
war department to supply them with
the springfields. A good deal has been
said also as to the great superiority
of smokeIess powder used in the small
bore over the black powder Of the
Springfield, but one of the best ord
nance experts in the war department
has declared that there are merits in
both powders. In open fighting the
smoke made by the Springfield often
serves to obscure the marksman from
q return fire, while the man armed with
the smokeless weapon Is exposed to
aimed fire.

Lazy Mans Paradise.

I'm late sojourn in Honduras" says
4 traveller, Il came to the conclusion
that it was paradise for lazy men.
Everything grows luxuriantly with but
little labor on the part Of the natives,
and many crops do not need replanting
more than once in eight or ten years.
The country offers fine inducements to
enterprising men, but it is hard on a
white man used to civilized ways to
90 down there and dwell among an
ignorant lot Of natives who are 100
years behind the times. A man would
have no congenial society, and might
IS well be an exile The natives usual
" live in bamboo houses, though in the
towns the dwellings are Of adobe. Chill
dren go naked for the first two or
three years of their life, and the attire
Of the adults is rather scant. The Gov
eminent is liberal with concessions in
order to encourage development of the
,ountry's resources, but there is no
general rule governing the granting of
privileges; it all depends on how good
bargain may be driven. The climate
Is very salubrious, and laziness is about
the only prevailing disease"
