NEW EXPLOSIVES SOUGHT.
England Is Dissatisfied with the Re-
suits Obtained from COrdite
and Lyddite.

The committee recently appointed
by the British admiralty and war
office to discover the best powder for
guns and small arms and the best
high explosive for shells has just is
sued an invitation to manufacturers
to submit explosives for trial under
a guarantee that their secrets will
not be probed by the government
manufacturers. Sir Henry Bracken-
bury, director general of ordnance at
the war office, who issues the invita-
ton on behalf of the committee, sug-
gests also that the manufacturers
should initiate the German explosive
firms, who combined a few years ago
and endowed scientific expert
mental bureau at great cost for re-
search into questions of firearms and
explosives. The action of the com
mittee is regarded as an admission
that both cordite and lyddite have
proved unsatisfactory.

General Lees Farewell Address to
His Army.

Headquarters Army of Northern Vir-
ginia, April TO-. 1865. ~ After four
years of arduous service marked by
unsurpassed courage and fortitude the
army of Northern Virginia has been
compelled to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources. | need not
tell the survivors of so many hard
fought battles, who have remained
steadfast to the last, that | have con-
scented to this result from no distrust
OF them, but feeling that valor and
devotion could accomplish nothing
that could compensate for the loss that
would have attended the continuation
of the contest, | have determined To
avoid the useless sacrifice of those
whose past services have endeared
them to their cOuntrymen.
BY the terms of the agreement officers
and men can return to their homes
and remain there until exchanged.

ton that proceeds from the conscious

FORGOT HIS COMMISSION.
How IN Man Was Bunkoed ON a Car
In Pittsburg.

In Pittsburg.
They've got rather funny way of
doing business in Pittsburg," said the
man with the pointed whskers to
break the silence.

"Why, | was riding on a street car
and dropped quarter on the floor. A
fellow passenger promptly looked
around and recovered it, but instead
of returning the coin he pocketed it

the seat here when G3t up. Yes,
I'm sure it slipped out of my pocket"
He looked me square in the eyes,
and so what could do but pull out an
other quarter and hand him the pair?'
But your commission you must
have been entitled to 20 cents on that
deal"

CarmaCk's Views.

Senator Carmack is in no wise back
ward in expressing his views upon the
recent decision of the Supreme Court
in the Porto Rico and Philippine
cases. In an interview at Memphis
he says:
''The majority of the court evidently
started out with the fixed purpose of
making the opinion of the court ac-
cord with the policy of the Admins
traton. They made the mistake of
trying to compromise with their own
consciences. Nobody even those who
ere most confident in their opinion
that the Government is limited in it's
taxing power by the Constitution in
the territories, as well as in the
States, had any doubt that the Su-
preme Court would decide otherwise.
THE decision emphasizes the fact
that the Supreme Court is a decayed
spot in our Constitution. In the in
come tax decision the Supreme Court
stripped the Government of important
powers which it had possessed for more
than 100 years. These decisions clothe
it with powers which for more than
100 years have been denied it. Both
decisions almost justify one in believ-
ing that the court, which was once
regarded as the mainstay of the Con-
stitution, has become revolutionary
tribunal, engaged in a work of de-
struction.
II know it is fashionable to describe
every man who expresses such senti-
ments as an anarchist. but they are
simply the sentiments which the four
minority justices expressed concerning
the opinion of the other FIVE.
My opinion is that those who are
so intent on breaking down the limita
lions of the Constitution and in teach
ing the people to dispose of it will
rule the day, for they are the very
class of people who have appealed to
it again and again for protection
against extreme radical legislation
They cannot continue forever using
the Constitution to protect their rights
and breaking through it whenever it
suits their purposes. The great anchor
of popular government is reverence
for established principals When this
Is lost, the Government is at the
mercy of every storm.

Thomas Jefferson, is the Federal
Judiciary.
His fear has been justified /"

prised even themselves by the earnest
playing and ran out winners by the

for second place in the contest for the
Winter League cup. a condition OF af-

contests in the final series of games

good and the individual playing was
fine Walter Dillingham; and Robert

manship and were ably supported by
the rest of the team. On the opposite
side Alfred Carter did some splendid
playing. supporting the dashes of Dole.
Judge Perry played steadily and the
same can be said of Judd. Dillingham;
was on a fast mount. but most of the
horses were unable to stand the strain
of such rough playing.
IN the game between the Artillerists
and Business Men, Single showed up
well for the former, and was supported
in many iustenccs by steady playing
on the part Of McAdory. Lieut.. Han
cock worked the ball out OF a close
scrimmage several times and gave an
opportunity for Norton TO start ii across
the field George Angus besides be-
ing a daring rider. kept the ball on the
move and Erdman made good many
drives, but kept within the confines OF
team playing. Dickey was on poor
mount at the start, but changed and
did some fine playing. Irvine was
warmly applauded for several fine
dashes with the ball.
The ground was not quite satisfac-
tory as there are several wallows into
which the ball rolled many times during
the game. with the result of punching
the teams and occasioning the loss OF
much valuable time in getting II out
and into play again. Kapiolani Park is
however an ideal spot for a polo game.

No stone unturngd To capture the
game. They won. but at various
stages of the game were given shocks
which should last them FOR a while.
