The impression prevails that our
navy is supplied with smokeless pow
der and there is some curiosity to
know how it would operate i'm an
engagement. But this seems to be
an idea according to a
writer in the Times Herald, who, in
an article on this subject, says:
1.-THE man who invented smokeless
powder was a German named Dit
mar. He came to America with his
secret and tried to sell it, but nobody
would buy until it's worth was
proved. Dittmar built some works
and endeavored to show it's value,
but failed. The smokcless powder
was not a e Much was
printed about it and enormous force
was claimed for it, but it was all on
paper. 1t was not any good, and
there is now no powder of the smoke
less kind that is of any good to the
army OF navy. Men still experiment
with it in a hopeless sort of way, but
military people do not look to it to
produce any results. 1t would be an
excellent thing, of course, If this
powder could be made perfectly
smokeless and sufficiently strong
and safe. All gunners would like to
see Immediately the effect of their fire
upon an opposing ship. The advan-
tage of having the sight clear for the
second barrel is well understood by
sportsmen. For big guns, however,
the Dittman smokeless is valueless.'

nontana Stockmen Meet.

MILES CITY, Apr. 2O.-The thirteenth
annual meeting of the Montana
Stockgrower's association at Miles
City was fairly well attended, q
members being present. About the
most important transaction was the
appointment of committees, the cleo
ton of officers and the presentation
of b annual report Of Secretary
w. G. Preuitt.
In filling the offices for the ensuing
year, j. NJ. Holt was elected presi-
dent; j. Harris first vice president;
H. r. Phillips, second vice president;
w. G.. Preuitt secretary and
treasurer.
The secretary stated that the
membership roll now showed a total
of 21S members, a decrease in the
number given in his last report. This
is partially accounted for by the fact
that a number of the cattlemen had
sold out their holdings and left the
state.

Rich nen are Patriotic.

No one has a mortgage on patriot
ism in this country. 1t inspires the
rich as well as the poor to noble
deeds and sacrifices. In the bitter
ness of political contention and seek
ing causes for Industrial conditions
harsh things are said of men who
are fortunate enough to be wealthy.
In the present crisis we are enable to
get a different view of some men who
have been the target for e criti-
cism in the past. A notable instance
is the offer John Wanamaker has
made the government. He has
posted the following Notice" in his

In addition Mr.. Wanamaker has
offered to raise a regiment of 1000
men at his W expense and enter
the service. OF course, Mr.. Wanna
maker is a candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania and knows how to ad-
vertise, but here is a straight for
ward proposition which will be filled
to the letter, even to entering the
service himself if the government ac-
cepts his offer. Even If we impugn
his motive there is the aid offered the
government and his employers in
round dollars and personal sacrifices.
But we believe Mr.. Wanamaker is
actuated by a lofty and patriotic de.
sire in the matter. And Mr.. Wanna.
maker is not the only wealthy man
who is coming to the aid of the gov.

One of the dispatches received last
week stated that the war loan of
five hundred millions was to be
fioated in bonds of n million each.
At the time of receipt this was
thought to have been a mistake and
later dispatches so prove. The
bonds will be in denominations of
$50 each and placed on sale at each
postofice, that the people may have
ample opportunity to purchase.
The bonds are worcestershire, bear
three per cent interest, are redeema-

MILES is SOLID ENOUGH

Washington, June 1S.-Secretary Alger.
accompanied by Major General Miles,
went over to the White House today to see
the president. The secretary was indig-
nant at the published reports that the
president and himself were dissatisfied
with the course adopted by General Miles
and had decided to relieve MIN of the
command of the army. The secretary
said in the presence of General Miles to
a representative Of the press:
There is not a word OF truth in it,"
meaning the statement 10 which his atten-
ton had been attracted. "As matter of
fact the purpose of the administration
in recalling General Miles to Washington
at this time is to consult with him as
to the future conduct of the campaign.
II is plain that the campaign itself has
grown far away from the original lines
on which IL was drawn and recent devel-
opments have led to a belief on the part
of the president that the plans might be
amended somewhat with benefit"
The war department is profiting by the
experience gained in the organization and
dispatch of General Skaters expedition
by the concentration of troops in the
great camps; by the development of weak
places in the staff systems, and it is de-
sired that future operations be conducted
with a view to avoiding friction, improv-
ing the methods of equipping the volun-
teers and generally facilitating the organ
ization of an effective army.

DEARTH OF TRANSPORTS

Washington, June 1S.-It begins 10 look
as IL the war department might have some
difficulty in obtaining the necessary
transports for the Porto Rico expedition
unless some of those which have been
sent 10 Santiago are utilized for that puE
pose. An earnest appeal was made to the
eoastwise companies to favor the war
department and submit propositions look
ing 10 the charter Of such vessels belong
ing TO them as had not already been Sc
cured by the government. The replies TO
the governments kilograms, however,
have been far from satisfactory, as the
steamship companies feel that they have
already gone as far as practicable in sur
rendering their ships and that to release
those stiu in service would subject them
TO great loss and bring their business
almost 10 a standstill. 1t is aeknowl-
edged by the war department officials that
the vessel owners up to this time have
been very considerate and have chartered
to the government a number OF their best
vessels and regret is expressed that all
that are needed cannot be secured In
this dilemma the department has been
compelled to resort 70 ships of foreign reg
lister for the transport ships and num-
Der OF English bottoms are now under in
spection. Congress will be asked to give
an American register to vessels so Sc
cured. They will be materially benefited
thereby, as after the war they may en-
gage in the coastwise trade in compe-
ution with American built vessels.
p Washington, June 1S.-No progress was
Il, =, ~.
ing transports for the Porto Rican expe-
dition. The few now on hand are entirely
inadequate for the needs of the invading
army and twenty or thirty more will have
to be obtained. Owners OF large number
of ships Of British registry have offered
their vessels 10 the department and these
are being inspected with a view to their
possible ACQUISITION.
