LATEST WAR INVENTIONS.
European Military Devices Reported
by Uncle Sam's Attaches.

Washington Letter in ST. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Our military attaches accredited to the
courts OF Europe are keeping us well post
ed as TO the very latest war inventions
made abroad 1t is conspicuous fact that
few of these contrivances, considered suf-
ficiently unique or important to be report
ed to this government, are Spanish inven-
tions-practicany none.
The most recent information relates to
high explosives and pioneer tools employed
by the armies of Europe. All great Eu-
ropean armies, not including the Spanish,
have detachments Of pioneers whose duties
are to rapidly destroy railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, bridges, railroad
trains, ETC.; TO cut off the enemy's conn
merce and transportation. They are equip
ped with land torpedos and all sorts OF
tools for tearing structures apart. In the
German army, the government furnishes
practice outfits that the men can acquire
practical experience in blowing up these
means of communication. The German
pioneers carry with them a collapsible
boat wagon, containing a sail boat dis
sected and compactly stored away SO as TO
be fitted together and fully rugged at
moments notice on reaching a body of
water.
1t will be an easy matter for armies to
cross streams without aid of either bridges
or boats, if experiments in progress in the
Austrian army prove successful. The off,
Ger in charge of the military swimming
school, Vienna, has invented various styles

and horses, pair TO be fastened to belts
around the waists of the men and to the
harness of the horses. When not in use
the air is exhausted, and they take up lit
lie room in the field kit. The Austrian
army lately adopted floating foot bridges,
about yards long by yard wide. On the
march these are disjointed, the parts be-
ing equally distributed among the soldiers.
In use, each end of the bridge rests upon
fold boat of canvas A chain of such
bridges may be rapidly formed on reach
ing a wide river.
Gen. Greedy, chief signal officer of our
army. recently recommended an appropri-
alton for military observation balloons
whereby the approach of an enemy by land
or sea might be forecasted from great dis
tances. Recent reports from our foreign
military attaches show that Europe can
teach us many valuable lessons as to bal
loon observatories. The Prussians now
have an excellent system of this kind. A
camera hanging from one balloon has a
telescope objective lens, which makes the
snap shots wonderfully clear and distinct
when the balloon is far out OF reach of
guns. The exposure being made. the neg

quires considerable red tape TO receive

geniuses inspired to invention by war talk

of the prohibitions against such weapons
laid down by the. Geneva convention and
prescribed by international law from time
to time. Your correspondent was shown
a curious file of patents, illustrating the
baTbarous ideas of the American inventor
during our civil war, when there was A
rush on the patent office, as there is at
present. This file includes many patents
for chain-shot and hollow shot, now for
hidden. One projectile was a conical piece
of iron cut into quarters. The quarters
were chained together in pairs, the chains
resting in a hollow cavity inside. After
being shot from a cannon the quarters
spread and produced wholesale slaughter.
This was to be an improvement on the
old idea of claiming two cannon-balls to-
gether and firing them simultaneously
from two separate guns. Another patent
was issued at that time for a projectile
with a long, curved and horizontal knife
blade attached at right angles to tina
muzzle end.

enlogizlng the monarch. He said: "Pru-
dence. moderation and honesty characterize
the upper classes and resignation and devo-
ton characterize the people. Between the
two are the politicians who exploit the
country and are the real cause of SPANS
misfortunes."
The Republicans are planning obstructive
tactics in the Cortes but they denounce the
Barcelona bands as anarchists instead OF
Republicans. The Carlisss in the meantime
are plotting and awaiting an order from
Don Carlos. 1t is certain that he does not
need the counsels of the Vatican urging
him not to disturb the peace of Spain. Senior
Sagasta hopes to get the bill authorizing
alienation of territory passed and the

pnstnI Clerks. Association.

DETROIT, Sept. THE report of the
legislative committee was the principal bus
mess before the National Association of
Postal Clerks to-day. This committee is in
charge of the bills the association is en-
deavoring to get through Congress. The
most important of these is a bill having
for its object a reclassification of the post
Office clerks and their salaries in all first
and second-class offices throughout the
country. The committee is also pushing a
bill for the enforcement of the eight-hour
law in postoffices and endeavoring to get an
appropriation through Congress TO pay for
subs while the clerks are vacations.
There is at present a law on the statute
books giving to each postoffice clerk fifteen
days vacation year. but no appropriation
for subs made when the bill was
passed. The committee reported that these
bills had made little progress the past year
They have been favorably reported by the
postotfice and post roads committee of the
House and the legislative committee will
endeavor to have Congress consider them at
this session. The report was accepted.
