AMRY AND NAVY.

An extension of the corps of military
attaches abroad is being rapidly effected
by the War Department in pursuance 81
its policy to secure the fullest available in
formation regarding the development o.
military affairs in other countries.
Reports received at the Navy Depart
ment indicate that the British Govern
ment is pushing the work of undermining
the great Notifications at the Rock OF
Gibraltar with all speed, and that no less
than 5000 Spanish workingmen pass daily
over the lines TO and from their work or
the Notifications. large number OF the
heaviest pieces of artillery are being pat in
place, a great dock is under construction,
and the plan of defense permits Of the
absolute protection OF vast British feet
under the guns OF the fortress.
Secretary Long has received for consider
alton the result of the labors of the special
commission appointed by him to inquire
into and report upon the conditions Of the
Naval personnel. The new bill wipes out
the Engineer Corps in name entirely, makes
the course at the Naval Academy four in
stead of three years, provides for Is Rear
Admirals, whereas there are now but six,
insures the same course OF instruction at
Annapolis to all cadets, no matter for what
corps they may enter, and makes other
radical changes in the whole system.
The artilIerists OF the Army are hoping
for legislation this session providing for a
large increase of the artillery branch, to
equip the great system of new Notifications
now fast approaching completion along the
Atlantic seaboard. An informal conference,
held between members of the two Military
Affairs Committees has developed an in
cination to postpone all Army measures
this session in favor of the artillery. 1t
has become apparent that the valuable new
defenses upon which the Government has
expended millions of dollars cannot be
properly cared for, much less manned, in
time of war with the present small force.

Waited for tho Reporter.
illustrated American

Congressman Hit, of Illinois, began his
career as a reporter and his expertness as
a stenographer caused him to be assigned
TO report the speeches of Abraham Lincoln
in his celebrated Joint debate with Douglas
IN 1853. Lincoln came to depend on his
young friend SO that his first thought when
facing an audience. would be to see that
Hit had his pencil ready.
On one occasion the Chairman of a m GET
ing had introduced Lincoln to the great au-
dience who had gathered to hear him. and
every sound was hushed and every head
bent to catch the first syllahes that were
to fail from the lips OF the orator Lincoln
was observed to be uneasy. He craned his
long neck this way and that, peering about
the front rows OF the expeetant multitude
Then he broke the stiffness with the sud
den query: Where's Hitt?b
The spectators exchanged chances, think
ing something Gntoward had happened
Nobody understood the question except a
few newspaper men, who were aware of the
part played by the young stenographcr.
Again Lincoln made as if to speak, but only
TO ask, anxiousy: Where's Hit? Doesn't
anybody know where Hit is -
A reporter who stood near window, after
taking quick survey of the landscape,
called back: " 1t S all right; Hits coming !"
And hewas. He had been due to dine with
a friend, and accidentally overstayed his
time. As he pushed his way into the hall,
all breathless, Lincoln heaved great sigh
OF relief, and soon plunged into speech
which by many critics was pronounced the
most effective OF the campaign.

Danger in Gun Practice.

There is considerable danger in this
| naval practice in gunnery," said an officer
Of the United States Navy. Il came very
near going up into the air in small bits on
the last squadron cruise. We were at
heavy-gln practice at sea, and but for the
auiclkneSS OF a gunner'S mate would never
| have returned
CAS- you probably know, the heavy guns
! in the turrets are fired by electricity, the
gun being discharged simply by pressing a
| button. The officer in command of the
| forward turret on our ship during rapid fire
! practice was just about to press the but
! ton to fire one OF our big guns, when a
! gunners mate was seen 10 grab at some
| thing on the wall Of the turret and then
| fall in a heap on the floor. The officer
pressed the button, but the gun was not
discharged.
"When the mate came to, he was asked
what had happened, and he informed the
| officer that the breech OF the gun had not
been locked, and that what he grabbed at
on the wall was the wires forming the
] electric firing circuit. When he saw that
| the officer was preparing to fire the gun,
| and at the same time observed that the
| breech Of the gun was not locked the only
! thing that occurred TO him TO prevent the
| gun being discharged was TO destroy the
| circuit, which he did promptly and effect
| lively.
when all this occurred there was a
charge of 256 pounds OF powder in the gun,
another charge of the same size in the
turret ready 10 be served and the passage
way leading to the powder magazine was
| wide open.
"But for the quickness of the gunner's
mate the gun would have been blown out
inside the turret. the gases from the burn
ing powder would probably have ignited
the charge lying in the turret, this expio-
sion would have ignited the powder in the
magazine, and the chances are that the
whole ship, crew and all, would have gone
up in the air.
"a thought that has occurred 10 me is
this: Suppose the accident had occurred
what do you imagine the verdict of the
board OF inquiry as TO the cause Of the loss
OF the ship would have been? Since this
experience the Department has adopted
electrical means to prevent the discharge
OF any Of the large guns until the breech is
locked"

Record and Pension Division ofthat Depart
ment replied that the Quartermaster-Gen-
eral may have a record OF this mans serv-
ice as a scout. He appears to have been
EMPLOYED solely as SUCH
Upon a like request being preferred to
the office of the Quartermaster-G General,
that office, without giving any information,
returned the communication, requesting
that the names of the Quartermasters by
whom Joseph X. Boone was employed. and
the dates of his service under each, be
definitely stated
Upon receipt OF this communication
the same was called to the attention of
the claimant, who. on Aug. IL, 1880, re-
plying thereto, said I state that | was
not at any time during the war attached to
any branch of the Quartermaster' De-
partment. My service was all the time
under the direction of and connected with
general officers in command in central
Missouri, commanders of regiments and
posts. And my duties were that OF scout,
guide for troops and bearer of dispatches,
and what little compensation freceiyed was
paid me by such officers as employed me-
The claimant having been employed by
various officers of the army in the capac-
ity of guide and scout merely, is not in
clttdcd within any of the classes of persons
mentioned in the tension laws as beneficI-
aries hereunder, The claim Is therefore
rejected"
