From the Philadelphia Press.
Smokeless powder is so called because
when exploded it produces no smoke.
AS q matter of fact. however, a light, thin,
transparent vapor is usually seen. but 1t
quickly disappears. Smokelesa powders,
from the nature of the ingredients employ
ed in making them, leave no residue when
exploded. the products of the combustion
being gaseous, whereas in ordinary gun
powders, whether black or brown, the pro-
ducts are partly gaseous and partly solid,

Smokeless powder is extensively used
abroad. nearly every foreign country hav-
ing some powder peculiar to itself. The
one with which we are most familiar is
the English cordite. The guns recently
purchased from the Armstrong firm in Eng
land and mounted on board the New Or
leans use cordite in their cartridges 1t is
manufactured in long sticks or cords of

Under ordinary conditions cordite is not
dangerous; ii can be held in the hands and
lighted and 1t burns with bright flame
as slowly as a piece of twisted paper. The
charges for firing gun are made up like
bundles of sticks and put into bags. To
ignite 1t some black quick-burning gum
powder is used. Smokeless powder takes
up nearly as much space in cartridge bag
as brown powder, though much less weight
OF 1t is required-only about fourth. The
weight of a charge of brown powder for
slx-inch gun is fifty pounds; when cor

dite is used il is only fifteen pounds. This
is great gain, especially desirable because
it lessons the weight of the fixed ammuni-
ton to be used in large caliber rapid-fire
gurs, and therefore permits of their quick
er manipulation.
1t is but a question of time when in our
navy brown gunpowder will be superseded
by smokeless gunpowder.

NOVEL. POINTS IN A MOTION.
Mr.. Mitchell Makes Them in Behalf
of His Client, Marsh.

Lawyer Edward Mitchell made an in
teresting motion lin arrest of judg-
ment" before Chief Justice Bingham
yesterday. charging that an indictment
was fatally defective and a verdict
ludicrously aWry.
Joseph Marhx, a young Spaniard, last
fall was arrested on the charge that
he had attempted to pass counterfeit
money. In December he was tried and
found guilty in one of the courts of the
Indictment. The evidence was some
what conflicting and unsatisfactory,
but seemed to show that he had in his
possession and attempted to pass two
very clever counterfeits of silver dol
lars.
The indictment had four counts
making counterfeit coin, having them
in his possession. attempting 10 pass
them and passing them. The jury
found MarhN guilty on the third count.
attempting TO pass the coins, but not
guilty on the other counts. NJ. Mitch
ell suggested II thu court that If MdrhX
had not been guilty Of having the coins
in his possession it would have beer
impossible I"r him Ia attempt 10 pass
them. There was Il technical .3efcct Iii

Mr.. Mitchell had a verdict against
one of mis- clients. clar@s, with house
breaking, set aside las month. The

LEGISLATURE roo HASTY
The Mississippi Solons win Elect
Mr.. Money Over Again.

Jackson. Miss. Jan. l5-The two
branches of the Mississippi Legislature
Will meet on Tuesday and rectify
curious and awkward blunder.
The two houses met this week and
thought they had elected Hon. ii. ID.
Money TO All the unexpired term of the
late Senator ]. Z. George. Later a
question of the legality of the action
was raised. 1t was apparent that
either this Legislature had Numbered. or
else the elections of Senators George
and Walthall in 1892 and that of SEN
ator Money in 1896 were Illegal.
Under the constitution OF Mississippi
the legislature meets ION the first Tues
day after the first Monday in jan
ary," and under section II of the re
viSed statutes of the United States the
balloting for a Senator by the legisia-
| ture must begin on the second Tues
| day after the meeting and organization
| thereof"
The question, therefore arose as TO
what is the second Tuesday after the
| meeting and organization" of the leg
| islature, and should the first Tuesday
after the day of organization be
| counted?
In 1892, when George and waIthall
| were elected. the legislature convened
! on Tuesday, January > and on Tues
day, January 10, both houses ballotei
| separately and on Wednesday, the
! Goth. Jointly elected the Senators
| This precedent was also followed i'm
| 1896. when Senator Money was elected
| for the full term to succeed Mr. George.

INNESTIGATICN LIGHTNING.
Ii strikes Supt. Lampson. of the
Laurel Reformatory.

=
Richmond. Va. June 15.-The Gener-
al Assembly has already ordered one
investigation. and rumors say there
may be others. The inquiry to be made
is into the affairs of the reformatory
at Laurel Charges of cruelty to the
inmates have been made.
Mr.. w. T. Wilson. delegate from Pitt
sylvania. limited at them on Tuesday.
and on Wednesday made his maiden
speech in the house in which he bit
terly denounced the management and
the plan of railroading boys to the in
stitution. His colleagues were so i'm
pressed by his speech that they passed
a resolution calling for an investiga-
tiOn.
The charges result from the biennial
visit of the lawmakers to Laurel,
twelve miles from Richmond, on Tues
day Some of the inmates managed to
get the ears of certain legislators and
told them that they were cruelty beat
en- and worked too hard.
Supt Lampson, of the reformatory.
has always borne the reputation of be-
ing a kind-hearted man, and of all the
institution managers in the State he
was supposed to be the last one that
the investigation lightning would
strike. He is, however, viewing the
legislatures action calmly, and says
that he has no fears of the results.
The Legislature two years ago or
dered the first investigation into a
State institution in a long time.
Charges were brought against the man
agement of the Deaf. Dumb and Blind
Institute at Staunton. 1t resulted in
a cleaning out of the officials.
