Mateo, near Manila, Tuesday morning
The Filipino's bullet pierced his breast

the Republican National Committee as
the place for its convention next year

In the race it WAS nip and tuck be-
tween Philadelphia and Chicago and
the final vote stood: Philadelphia %,

was due to the fact that the committee

DISCARDING THE LEE RIFLE.
One Thousand krag-JOrgensen's Is
sued to the Navy.

In accordance with the recent decision
for the gradual adoption Of the army rife
In the naval service. the army ordnance
bureau has issued to the Navy Department
1000 krag- -Jorgensen rifles and 5000
rounds Of ammunition for them. The adop-
ton of a uniform small arm and ammuni-
ton for both branches Of the military sery-
ice is the result of a recent consideration
of the subject by board representing the
consignment of the arms for the navy
was delivered at the New York navy yard
and will be issued to the new warships as
they are put in commission.
The big battle ship Kearsarge, now near
ing completion, will probably be the first of
the naval vessels to be supplied with the
new arm. Additional consgnments will be
supplied by the army upon requisition, and
the Lee rifle, now in in the navy, will
be gradually discarded and replaced by the
rag-Jorgensen rifle.
The 5000 rounds of ammunition was
called for by the Navy Department for ex-
pertmental purposes. and experiments are
now being made with it with a Colt ma
chine gun. The army ordnance department
VIII continue to manufacture the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle for the navy as they are
called for, but the ammunition will be man
ufactured by the ordnance department of
the navy. The cartridge to be used by the
navy in the army type Of rifle will be iden-
teal with that useu by the army, except
that they will be loaded with the navy
smokeless powder. The bullet will be the
same weight, the shell case will correspond
and an amount of navy powder will be used
to give the bullet the same velocity.

Dead at His Home

ST. LOUIS. November 13.-John Arm
strong, son Of ex-Police Sergeant John Arm
strong, was found dead in the dining room
of his home yesterday. Near him lay re-
volyer, with one empty shell. The theory
of suicide was not tenable, for the man had
been shot through the heart from the rear.
Mrs. Rose Louvier, thirty years old, who
had been cooking meals and taking care of
the rooms occupied by Armstrong, was ar
rested by the police who also arrested her
husband. The woman said Armstrong had
been boarding at her house for about a
year; that he had removed from there be-
cause her husband objected 10 him and had
taken up his abode about three blocks away
from her home, with her as his house,
keeper, paying her for her services.

revocation of their orders. Chaplain O. J.

than go to the Philippines and board has

examination. Another chaplain whose or

cal lilies Of the War Department. The dis
c"very OF the error was not made. how
ever, until he was ordered to the Philip
pines. An order was issued today for his

VIII both be required to comply with the

that far-dlstant quarter, IS the Rev w D.

merry served there with the California Vol
unteers, and who has recently been ap-
