most prudence and caution in fog that there
will be no doubt that the Cromartyshire

The Weapon of the Volunteers.

(New York Journal Of Commerce)
There is a disposition here and there to
complain Of the Springfield rifle as obso-
lete and to speak of the volunteer troops
as armed with an inferior weapon, and TO
attribute their losses before Santiago TO
the fact that they were under fire from
the Spanish Mausers when they were too
far 10 reach the Spaniards with their
arms. Besides coming from volunteers in
some instances and from newspapers,
these complaints are also attributed to a
captain OF a regular cavalry regiment,
who may be eXcusable because he rs In
the cavalry for lacking familiarity with
the infantry weapon. The fact is That
the Springfield breech-loading rifle Is a
most effective weapon, which has no SUI
perior in its own class. 1t is not mag
azine rife, but IL can be fired very rapid
ly; it has u long range and has high
reputation for accuracy. The regular
army is very much attached to It, and
parted with II for a magazine gun with
great reluctance, and many Of the regu-
lar officers are still unreconciled TO the
change. Magazine guns OF various pat
terms were from time 10 time issued 10
single companies OF the regular Infantry
for trial under service conditions, and
the reports OF the officers were pretty
generally adverse TO them, and this is the
reason that it was not till about seven
years ago that a magazine gun was Sc
lected to replace the Springfield breech-
loader. There was much opposition TO
the Krag-Jorgensen rifle then. and IT has
not wholly subsidized. officers still COM
plain that II It not as accurate as the
Springfield rife and that the advantage
OF a magazine ID very slight; IN checking
n furious charge. the magazines would be
valuable. but such charges are not com
mon. and the Spaniards do not make
them at all. Except In an emergency OF
that sort. many OF the regular infantry
officers regard the Springfield rife as the
SUPERIOR OF the weapon their troops now
carry. For stopping the enemy II he
should make rush. there Is little doubt
that the larger bullet-of the Springfield
rife is more effective than the very slen-
der bullet carried by the Krag-Jorgensen,
and by military rifles generally.
As the Krag -Jorgensen has been adopt
ed by the United States army. II would
undoubtedly have been served out TO the
volunteers had there been an ample sup
ply of them, but the reserve stock Is
NOT nearly enough TO arm all the volun-
teer infantry, and It was felt that u

raignment of Republican Party.

STUART. PATRICK COUNTY. July IA.
(Special-)-T Democratic Congressional
Convention OF the Fifth District of Viz
ginia was held here to-day and Repre-
sentative Claude A. Swanson was re-
nominated by reclamation. The resolu-
tons were adopted with equal unanlmity,
and in every respect the convention was
harmonious. Only one hour was occu-
pied in disposing Of the business OF the
assemblage. The attendance of delegates
and proxies was very gratifying, indi-
eating an interest that might not have
been expected. in view OF the fact that
this is an on year in politics and the at
tention of the people is so much absorbed
by the war.

organization, which contemplated the

would introduce confusion to arm part OF
the volunteers with one rifle, and part
with another. 1t is also true that ~
soldiers have magazine guns, they have a
strong tendency TO fire away their am
munition faster than 1t can be supplied to
them in line Of battle. and the military
authorities may have felt that the volun-
teers were hardly well enough trained to
resist this tendency. soldier with
single-loader and plenty Of cartridges is
much better off than one with a maya
zine rifle and an empty belt But the
volunteers have not been armed with OBJ
soete or antiQuated or inferior weapons,
and II has not been shown that they have
suffered from the Spanish more than
the regulars have.

ward the temporary organization was
made permanent.
SWANSON'S NAME PRESENTED.
A motion to dispense with the regular
order of business prevailed, and after the
Offering of the resolutions Colonel Abe
Staples, Of Patrick county, the Oldest ac-
tive Democrat I'm the district. who has
known Mr.. Swanson from boyhood, eX-
pressed the pleasure 1t gave him ito nomi-
nate Hon. Claude A. Swanson 10 be his
own successor in office" The nomination
was seconded by Mr.. j. +. Rison, OF Dan
Vile, and later Mr.. w. I. TowneS, OF
Pittsylvania moved that the nomination
be made by reclamation. This action was
taken with a great deal of enthusiasm
While the Notification Committee were
out Hon. Il, w. Saunders, Of Franklin
county, made brief address, deploring
the war and expressing the conviction
that If the country embarks on career
OF territorial acquisition that career Will
in the end bring national disaster. Mr..
Swanson was greeted with great applause
as he entered the hall az the conclusion
Of Mr. Saunders's remarks. The nominee
referred TO the fierce congressional fights
that have been waged in this district
since 1892, and predicted his own victory
in the forthcoming campaign by large
majority. Mr.. Swanson expressed him
self as unalterably opposed TO colonial ex-
panson, and warned the district in adj
vance that he would oppose it in every
form should he be returned to Congress.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The resolutions reaffirm allegiance to the
Chicago platform and denounce the in
famous" Dingley bill.
Section reads: I'VE denounce the Re-
publican party for passing the recent war
revenue BILL with its glaring iniquities,
injustice, and inequalities against the
masses, instead Of an income-tax as pro-
posed by the Democrats, which would
have made the wealth of the country con-
tribute it's share TO the expenses or the
war"
other sections read:
"a We denounee the Republican party
for greatly increasing the demand for
money by increased taxes and sale or
bonds, and yet not adding to the circu-
lating medium as proposed by the Demo-
Gratis, so as to enable the people TO meet
this increased demand without stringency
In money and sacrifice.
-. We denounce the Republican party
for its unjust and harsh treatment of the
tobacco interest of our section"
The next section refers to the war and
reads:
1--WE denounce the Republican party
for its refusal to grant belligerency or
to recognize the independence OF the in
surgents in Cuba early as proposed by
the Democrats. and which, If granted at
that time, would so materially have aided
the insurgents as TO have resulted in
giving them independence without ere
ating the necessity for this country's
going TO war with Spain; and, therefore,
we point to the fact that nearly two
years of Republican power have wit
messed the fulfment Of no promise OF
reform but the party, by its action and
mismanagement, has only brought war
TO the country, increased taxes, and
greater benefits TO trusts, combines, and
corporations"
The eighth and ninth sections oppose
civil-service and endorse the course OF
Mr.. Swanson.
