TESTING FIELD GUNS.
Carrying Out the Intentions of the
Qualifications Hoard.

The Notifications board held Its regular
monthly meeting here today. Three new
members were present, as result OF re-
cent army retirements and appointments,
in the persons of Gen. Gillespie, chief Of en-
gineers: Col. Randolph, chief Of artillery,
and Capt Story of the same arm Of the
service. Although a good deal Of delay
has been encountered in carrying out the
original order of the board looking to a
competitive trial of field guns to secure
such an arm for the American artillery, the
ordnance bureau was able at last to report
that at least one weapon Of original type
has already been completed and Is now
being sighted. The board will probably be-
gin the test at once, beginning with this
weapon and taking he others in order as
fast as the gunmakers produce them. The
modification of the French gun will be one
OF the new guns tested.

GEN. CHAFFEE'S REMARKS
OFFICIAL ATTENTION HAS NOT BEEN
CALLED TO THEM.
Were Printed Only in the British Pub
IicatiOn at Pekin-AccurHcy of
Quotation Doubted.

The alleged statements of Cen thaHee
made at Gen. Gaselee'S banquet in honor
of the Americans expressing his 1ncllna-
ton toward the British in case of interna-
tional complications have not been brought
officially to the attention of the government
here. Consequently the officials decline 70
indicate what will happen in the event that
official complaint is made. Privately talk
ing of this matter. Gen. Chaffee's brother
officers here point to the fact that the al
legged utterances Were printed only in the
local British publication in Pekin. as tend
ing to cast slight suspicion upon the exact
accuracy of the quotation. there doubtless
being a Willingness to make the most of
any friendly utterance by Gen. Chaffee.
ChaTee's Alleged Remarks.
Regarding Gen. Chafees remarks, the
New York Herald's European edition pub
fishes the following from it's correspondent
at Pekin:
Some evenings ago Gen. Gaselee gave a
smoking concert in the Temple of Heaven
in honor of Gen Chaffee and his officers.
Gen. Chaffee made political speech which
caused comment and adverse criticism out
side the British camp.
1t was however, not believed that Gen.
Chaffee had stopped over quite so much
until Saturday, when the following version
was published in the official organ of the
British legation and was accepted on all
sides as correct:
Let kings. ministers and politicians say
what they may" said Gen Chaffee. but
can tell you this that never will you see
Americans and Britishers facing each other
in the field. Our national policy may be to
steer clear of international complications,
but should circumstances arise In which
we must make a choice our inclination will
be with BritiSherS.'

The Secretary Declines-SOmethTng of

It's Origin.
DURKEE

Yesterday afternoon an intelligent look
ing man, who said he was lawyer. ac-
companied by two well-dreSsed young men.
called at the Treasury Department and
asked to see Secretary Gage in relation to
the 'Durkee claim" They were shown
into the Secretary's room and the eldest
man acted as Spokesman
Il have come to see you about the Dur
kee claim said the visitor, amounting
to s79Oo0.O0O"
Only S79,""o,oo9?" queried the Secretary
Yes, and l demand to know what you
are going to do about it"
We'll. L refuse to pay it." replied Secre-
tary Gage.
Why?" demanded the visitor
NANNY Tor the reason that If / did |
snould De lmpeached and put into prison ."
Very well, sir. / have brought these two
gentlemen as witnesses of your refusal, -
ana with that the party walked out.
Long a Source of Annoyance.
Ihe treasury officials heaved a sigh when
they heard that the Durkee claim had bob
ped up again. 1t has been a perennial
source OF annoyance to the officials since
way back In the days of the construction
OF the Pacific railroads. 1t originated with
ex-governor Durkee Of Utah, and amount
eu at flrSt to claim for 54,e0ue of Pa
Cilt TdllTOdO bonds.
1T is said it has failed in the Court of
claims and is not regarded by the treas
ury officials as valid
Inc treasury officials have not been an
prlSed OF the contemplated action of the
persons who called yesterday. kereg Ken
uali was the name given by the spokesma H.
VINO claimed to be administrator of the
claim.
Tried i'm District Courts
The records of the Treasury Department
snow that the case has also been tried in
the Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia. A letter from District Attorney
Anderson, dated July %. 1900 to the solicit
Tor OF the treasury, notified the department
that the Supreme Court of the District
had dismissed a petition for mandamus
on the Secretary of the Treasury command
ing MIN to pay the amount of the first
mortgage bonds of the Union and Central
Paclfic railroad companies. That petition
mad been filed by Leonard c.. Blaisdell at
torney for the heirs of Charles Durkee de-
ceased
The petition recited that Charles Durkee
had become the possessor by purchase of
s64,VoHO of Pacific railway bonds; that
the bonds In some manner got into the
treasury Department for inspection and
ne never was able to get them out nor to
secure interest on them. The court dis
missed the petition in a lengthy opinion by
Justice Hagner. denying the establishment
OF valid grounds for such a claim
The Treasury Department is preparing q
letter on the subject Of this claim.

bility of predicting when the turning

opinion, the name has a good deal to
do with getting demand started. III
1t Is hard to remember or hard to pro-
nounce, it is undoubtedly a serious
handicap, and, on the contrary, q
catchy, simple title, just odd enough to
stick In ones memory, is In itself an
advertisement worth thousands of dol
lars. / have q house in mind that
spent q good sized fortune trying to
popularize q tablet preparation with a
queer Indian title that no two people
pronounced In exactly the same way.
1t was a good thing and cleverly put
before the public, and 1t failed solely,
think, because people were reluctant to
ask for it for fear Of making them
selves ridiculous by butchering the
pronunciation. That's point about
which the average customer is very

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. IT, 1901



The method used In the United States
navy for the economical training of the
gunners is very interesting 1t is a
well known fact that the cost of firing
one of the large guns used in the navy
Is very great, amounting sometimes to
$1,000 or more. To save this. expense
a very simple method is employed In
the case Of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rifle is secured in the breech
of the gun and directly in the center
of the bore, so that when it is fired its
bullet takes the same direction as that
of the regular projectile. The large
gun Is sighted In the usual manner
On account of the lesser velocity of the
small bullet the target is placed close
to the ship and is made corresponding
ly small.
The method used for the 6 FOUNDER
or other small guns is slightly differ
ent as instead Of the small rife a
wooden or dummy cartridge the same
size as the regular cartridge is en-
ployed. Through the center of this
wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel
which is loaded with "A caliber car
fridge. This latter method has the adj
ditional advantage of giving the gun
crew practice in loading as well as fir
