SUPERIORITY OF THE BOER
GUNS.

The Beers have, in the present war,
ability to shoot with more accuracy
than the British, but on their artillery,
which is of the latest and most inn
proved pattern, and on which enor-
nous sums have been spent by the
Transvaal government during the
past ten years. The burghers have
been buying artillery almost since the
close of the last Transvaal war, and
they have secured the services of the
best European experts, chiefly Ger
mans, whom they could induce to
accept high salaried positions in the
Boer army.
According to British artillerisCs who
have examined the Transvaal arma-
ments, the Beers most formidable
weapons are their quick firing field
guns. About two years ago they pur
chased eight batteries, or forty eight
guns, of the latest and best quick
firing type, from the French firm of
Schneider-C These guns were
not delivered until short time ago,
but are supposed to have reached
Pretoria just in time for use in the
present war. The Schneider Canet
gun fires a thirteen pound shell. In
practice against targets composed Of
six wooden frames, each with an area
of forty five square feet, six of these
guns fired each six rounds, throwing
each shell at an average of fortysi
seconds interval and making numer
Gus hits. An ordinary field gun in
the same time would have fired only
one, or at the most, two rounds. The
Boer' weapons, therefore, fire three
to six times as fast as the ordinary
gun with which most batteries of
British artillery are armed. This
rapidity of fire is obtained by anchor
ing the gun in the earth. A spade is
fitted to the trail of the gun, which is
driven into the ground at the first
shot.
There are two types of quick firing
guns used in the British army. The
first is the Vickers- M xim, which was
used by the troops under Lord
in the Soudan. The other
is an adoption of the ordinary field
gun, which is converted to a.quick
firer by carriage designed by Lieut..
Col. Sir @. Clarke. This gun, it is
said, has been found of considerable
utility, but is certainly not equal to
the quick firers in the possession of
the Beers.

Gen. Joubert administered a sting
ing reminder to the British general at
Ladysmith last week that in the Beers
the English troops have foemen
worthy of their steel. In an attempt
to feel the enemy's strength, General
White ordered two regiments and a
mountain battery to a position that
proved to be untenable, with the re-
sui mat the whole force was cut off
and compelled to surrender to pre-
vent humiliation. In a manly des-
patch to the British war department
General White accepts the entire
blame for the disaster. Above two
thousand men with their entire COM
plement Of officers, guns, etc., were
taken. The forces captured were the
Royal Irish Fusiliers, the GIoucesters
and Battery No. 10. 1t appears that
they were hemmed in by 900 Beers.
This catastrophe is likely to cause
great sensation in England and there
will be great agitation until Lady
smith is relieved. A movement in
this direction has already been taken.
Troops to replace those lost will
leave England within ten days, and a
second army corps has been ordered
to prepare itself for calling out. Gen.
Butler has arrived at Cape Town and
may be expected to hurry things
along.

The United States continues to lead
the world in superiority of ordinance.
Severe tests of the new style of four
inch gun, adopted for the Navy, have
shown the gun to be vastly ahead of
any arm of the same calibre in the
world. AS long as we can keep up
that sort of progress, our Navy is
bound to lead the procession in fight
ing qualities.
Gen. Alger, who has been giving his
undivided attention to his large bust
ness interests since his retirement
from the head of the War Depart
ment, said of the business outlook:
"The business affairs of the United
States are in a most excellent condi-
ton, and if we can be sure of steady
republican rule in the future, it is my
judgement that this prosperous state
of affairs will last for many years to
come. In looking over last years
statistics of the balance of trade as
between this country and the rest of
the world, I find that it rests in GU,
favor in an amount exceeding $780,
100000. All of which is, of course
very gratifying to an American, and
gives rise to belief among republi-
cans that they had much to do with
bringing it about"
Maj. j. F. Hanson, one of Georgia's
largest cotton manufacturers said:
''The general business conditions in
the South are better than they have
been for years. There are many gold
men in Georgia, and tens of thousands
Of protectionists, and if you could
eliminate the negro question, I think
the state would go republican without
any doubt. And what is true of
Georgia is true of most of the states
which go to make up the so-called
solid south. President Mckinley is
very popular with us, and think he
will be nominated and re- elected.

A cable dispatch announces the
death in the Philippines on Saturday
of Col. Guy Howard, eldest son of
Gen. 0. 0. Howard of Burlington.
Gen. Otis has telegraphed the war de-
partment from Manila confirming the
report and giving the following de-
tails: Col. Guy Howard, assistant
quartermaster and quartermaster of
the volunteers, was killed Saturday
near Arayat, while on a launch on the
Rio Grande river, by concealed insur-
gents. His clerk, a civilian employee,
and native were wounded. A scout
ing detachment f,the Seth volunteers
encountered the insurgents of Santa
Rita scattering them, killing six, and
captured eight or ten rifles. There
were no casualties. Gen. LawtOn is
operating from San Isidro. The for
warding of supplies to that point con-
tinues attended with some difficulty
on account of lack of transpor tation,
which will be supplied soon. The in
surgents of southern LuZon attacked
Calamba, but were driven off with no
casualties. This morning Col. Kline,
commanding at Calamba, vigorously
attacked the insurgent force concen-
tratlng on his front, routed them from
the trenches ana pursued them three
miles. His casualties were one pri
vate killed, one corporal and three
privates wounded. Col. Howard had
been in the army % years. For five
years he resided in Burlington, being
the constructing quartermaster at Fort
Ethan Allen. During the war with
Spain he held several important posi-
tiOns in the quartermaster's depart
ment, and was on General Young's
staff when killed. He leaves a widow
and three children.

In 1892 the Government Commits
sioner of Fish and Fisheries distrib-
uted IL, 000,000 fish of various kinds,
in order to increase the food supply
of the people. There mas been grad
ual increase until within the last two
years; since then the work of the
Commission has been very greatly
enlarged. The last fiscal year exceeds
all others, the total number of fish of
all kinds distributed having exceeded
one billion. Shad, salmon, trout,
whitefish' perch, cod and founders
are the varieties of which the larger
part of the distribution is comprised.
Anxious to prevent the Holsters from
dying out, the Commission has dis
tributed los, 10000 during the year.
Next year, if Congress will permit,
the work will be still further enlarged.
