The officials Of the Navy became inter-
ested in the manufacture of smokeless pow
der Immediately after the war with Spain,
which demonstrated that the old brown
explosive, which had heretofore been used
exclusively, was not half so satisfactory
a charge for the new high power guns as
the smokeless powder. II was then decided
to do away with the old article, and it is
now being used almost entirely for target
practice.
The orders which have been placed with
various firms for its manufacture for the
use of the Government were Cancelled and
the experiments with the smokeless va
riety were Immediately commenced 1t
was stated at this time that the Navy De-
partment was not attempting 10 enter into
competition with the manufacturing firms
throughout the country, except as TO the
quality of their output, as the Government
is compelled to rely on private firms for
the greater part of its supply.
When the subject was first broached it
was decided to experiment with pyro-cel-
lulose, which had been used also in the
manufacture of the brown powder. The
trials that have been conducted so far
have been very successful, and Admiral
O'Neil, Chief of Ordnance of the Navy,
has stated that there have been no un-
favorable qualities detected in any of the
tests. The department has not confined
itself to simple experimenting with the eX-
plosiye, but has called the attention of the
powder manufacturers to pyTo- -cellulOse and
urged them to make experiments in its
use also. 1t is said that It's strength does
not become impaired even when subjected
to excessive temperatures or great mois-
ture.
The Navy Department is able to require
the manufacturers of its powder to adhere
closely TO the specifications for nitration
and solubility on account Of the great i'm
provements In powder manufacture in the
last few years
There has been small quantity of
smokeless powder manufactured at the
Newport torpedo station during the past

I. c. Mclean. This officer states that inn

had the advantage Of better coaching and
more practice work. Shibley, Virgina's

Virginia, while Fuller Lehigh's full back;
JAMES qGarter; Douin, right end, and
GledbilL left tackle, did the sensational

The crowds that have attended the Typo

was a larger crowd there last night than

Metoxen made long runs in the first half,

substitute on the quarter back who took
Hudson's place toward the close Of the
game, made two startling runs OF twenty
and twenty y-fve yards respectively. The
Indians interference was the principal
reason why Columbia was so badly beaten
There is no excuse for Columbla's de-
feat as the team was outclassed in every
respect. HudsOn's drop kicking was a
splendid exhibition Of skill. He kicked
one goal from the field IN the first half
from the 2o-yard line. He made an at
tempt from the 40-yard line, and missed
one OF the posts by a yard. Another goal

witnessed the game today between the
Universities of Brown and Chicago. which
the latter won by II to 6. Although the
local team suffered by the absence Of Cap
tain Kennedy. who was injured In the Chi
cago- Minnesota game last Saturday, their
work throughout was Of a most effective
character and they showed their superiori-
ty over their opponents, particularly n the
defence. Only on occasions did they allow
the Rhode Island men to get possession of
the BAH. Richardson, who played right
half back for the visitors, made several
splendid runs, and it was chiefly through
his efforts that his side was prevented
from being shut out
In the first half the Chicago boys forced
their way almost 10 the goal when Rich

was II to in favor of the Maroons.

Satisfactory reports are made to the
Navy Department on the progress Of
the work of erecting the smokeless powder
plant at Indian Head. The buildings are
expected TO be in condition to commence
the manufacture of the explosive by spring
The factory is TO have a daily output of
LOCO pounds of powder, the product being
made in grains of suitable size for each
calibre gun. Work on the new buildings
was commenced in 1898, when Congress ap-
propriated $1,000 for the purpose
The naval officials in charge Of the plant
have worked under great difficulties, as the
department was making an investigation of
the methods of manufacturing the smoke

and, as new information was received the
plans were modified to meet the changed
conditions. In this manner the buildings
have been remodeled several times. AT
last, however. the final plans were made
and the plant is now in fair way to COM
pletion. One of the greatest troubles
the department has encountered is in the
failure to secure building materials Oh

PHILADELPHIA. Nov 3O-Before an
enormous crowd that filled the seats on
Franklin Field this afternoon. the eleven
Of the University Of Pennsylvania defeat
ed Cornelrs team by the score OF 2s TO O.
The followers Of "OId Penn" felt thar the
men OF the red and blue have fully re-
deemed themselves for the reverses OF the
earlier season and some of them go so far
as 10 say that the eleven Of today could
conquer any team in the country. This
does not altogether sound like vain boast
when the eleven which defeated Princeton,
and is thought TO rank in the first class
could not make The requisite five yards at
any stage Of this afternoon's game The
home teams defence was impregnabIe. and
as for offence the score OF hve uouchdowus
Is a pretty good witness Of the Quaker
pTOWess.
The game was remarkable for the alb
sence OF punting OF course. Cornell was
forced to kick when she grew tired OF
yielding the ball Of four downs but
she had the pigskin 50 seldom that she had
little chance TO kick, except when the ball
was put in play after a score. Pennsyl-
vania's men scorned to boot the ball, ex-
cept on one or two occasions. They were
well satisfied 10 stick 70 rushing tactics.
On one occasion they battered the Cornell
team from their own 13-yard line to the
Zz-yard line Of their opponents, when the
latter in desperation or perhaps because
the victors were tired after their furious
assaults, held the attacking party for
downs. But the visitors, too, were
badly winded, and after TWO futile attempts
10 advance the ball. Captain Starbuck tried
70 kick il out OF danger. The lusty Quak-
ers broke through. blocked the kick. and
within a short period had scored another
touchdown and goal.
Pennsylvania played straight football,
relying mostly on the guards back for
nation TO advance The ball For the first
few plays Cornell held the Quakers well,
but after that the former seemed unable
10 check the onslaught. The formation
was varied in all sorts Of ways. Sometimes
Hare, McCracken, Teas Potter, and G2rdi-
ner would mass behind the line; sometimes
four men would I'LL the bill and sometimes
three. Nearly every forward was called
upon TO form the line behind The main
battery. The combinations were so nu-
merous that the poor Comedians were !
guessing all the time, not knowing what
would be used next. Nineteen out of every
twenty plays called for a crash at the cen
tire Of Corneil's line, or at the guards and
tackles.
50 1eTce was the work OF the Quakers
that after nearly every scrimmage there |
was a delay while a Cornell man was re-
covering his wind or nursing his bruises.
In the second half three OF them had TO
retire.
The star Of the game was McCracken. |
II is doubtful if a harder line bucker |

IS the fact that Hare fumbled once or /

SEEK LIGHT ON MOURNING.
Presidents Order May BE Interpret

tu DF thC Ah=
Some of the officers Of the Navy have
interpreted the recent order of the Presi-
dent, pescribing that mourning be worn
for a period of thirty days by the Army
and Navy officers out Of respect to the
memory of Vice President Hobart, to
mean that they must wear crepe while in
civilian dress. A few naval officers are
now wearing black hands on the left sleeve
of their civilian coats, but so far as known
no Army officers have followed that ex-
ample.
The order directed the officers to wear
the usual insignia of mourning, a crepe
band on the left arm, for thirty days. It
did not specify that the mourning should
apply to uniform clothes only, and for
that reason the officers who are wearing
black bands with their ordinary clothes
contend that its application is general
Heretofore the practice has been to wear
mourning with uniform only. 1t is proba
BILE that the Judge Advocate General OF
the Army or the Bureau Of Navigation VIII
be asked to interpret the order.
