NEW ARMY RIFLE
Powerful Weapon to Replace the
Krag-JOrgensen.

Powerful Weapon to Replace the
Krag-Jorgensen.
Ne,u ITors Sun Special Seruiee .t.E
Washington, Jan. 18.-After several
years work the ordnance department of
the. army has designed new rifle to take
the place Of the improved Krag -Jorgen-
sen, now in use. 1t is said to be a
wonderful improvement. Secretary Root
has approved a recommendation that 5000
rifles of this new pattern be made as soon
as possible and distributed to the army.
The new rifle will have a velocity of
1900 feet a second, and will carry an
increased powder charge. The only
change in the cartridge will be the sub
stitution of groove in the gun for the
rim now made on the cartridge ITSELF
The cartridges will be carried in clips OF
five each and slight downward pressure
of the thumb will force all five cart
ridges into the magazine at once. The
new rife will have stiffened rod bayonet
instead of the sword bayonet, it being
held that the sword bayonet does not
justify the great additional weight to be
carried by the soldier.

CONFIRMED
Somewhat Delicate Position
of Judge Baker of the
Seventh Circuit.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The senate COM
mittee on judiciary to-day agreed to re-
port favorably the nomination of Francis
E. Baker of Indiana to be circuit judge
in the seventh circuit.
The opposition to Judge Bakers con-
ffrmation was withdrawn, but the cir
cumstances were discussed. There was
especial reference to the fact that his
father is district judge in the Indiana dis
trict and the point was made that with
the son occupying the circuit bench 1t
might fall to his lot to review his fathers
decisions There was, however, a gen
eral expression that the prominence of
mans father should not be allowed to
stand as bar to his own preferment. It
was suggested also that in such cases
Judge Bakers own delicacy could be de-
pended upon to find the proper solution Of
the problem. This view was accepted and
the decision favorable to report the NOM
ination was not opposed.

BRIST0W EXPECTS. TO GO

Neau York Sun Special Service
Washington, Jan. 10. = Washington Is
wondering If Henry G. Payne, the new
postmaster general will reorganize his
office OF assistant postmasters general.
The fact that Mr.. Payne had selected the
late George NJ. Wiswell, OF Milwaukee, to
be fourth assistant postmaster general Is
taken to mean that he had made up his
mind to dispense with the services of
Mr.. BristoW, who holds that position.

Immediate. supervision of the postoffice
inspectors, who comprise a. corps OF
trained detectives. Bristow himself was
once postoffice inspector and an emf
nently successful one. He has to his
credit a number OF important cases in
volving violations CT the postal laws.
Bristow personally conducted an 1nvesti-
CATION of the frauds upon the Cuban pos
tai service which were committed by Nee
ly and Rathbone, and it was due to his
earnest work that evidence proving the
culpability of that precious pair was OBJ
tanned.
He made one tactical blunder, however.
He discovered that Perry Heath was re-
sponlsible for Nicely and so stated in his
report to the postmaster general. Heath
never forgave him. Heath and Mr.. Payne
are close friends. They have been as
ISOLATED through two national campaigns
under conditions that have caused them to
entertain a wholesome respect for each
other. Bristow, knowing the relations Of
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Heath. expects to go
now that the new postmaster general has
assumed control of the department.

TURBINE ENGINE.
The Atlantic to Be Crossed in
-Four Days by It's
Use.

New York, Jan. 1S.-To clip from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours from the
record time for crossing the Atlantic Is
the promise of the New York and Europe
an Steamship company, a new. trans
Atlantic steamship line, which offers as
surance of speedy fulflment of Its
pledge. This company, which has already
applied for pier privileges in this city,
and formulated the larger part of its
plans, expects by the substitution of tur-
bine engines for those now in use, to
secure constant speed of thirty knots
an hour in it's new boats. Such a speed
will mean that passengers can be carried
from this country to Europe in little
more than four days.
To cut off day in the time of crossing
the Atlantic will mean to bring enormous
profits to the steamship company which
succeeds in doing it. Fast mails, not
only Of this country, but those which are
beginning to pass through from Australia
and the far east, will naturally fall to the
steamship company that can indie them

TWO SUCCESSFUL BIDS

Than First Reported.

From Tho Jo,si.,sssSs B..rea., Room, IS, Post

Washington; Jan. Is. Though the SEN
ate committee on INDIAN affairs has an
nounced its intention tosgive hearings to
praties interested in leasing pasture land
on part of the Standing flock Indian res
ervation, the secretary Of the interior
has decided to award leases to two bid
ders whose offers are equal at 30h mills
an acre. These are George q. Lennon of
Spearhsh. S. D., and VIM. I. Walker Of
Rock Island, Ill.
Secretary Hitchcock and Commissioner
Jones are both confident that their judg-
ment will be indicated when all the facts
appear. In certain particulars the agi-
tation over this question has borne good
fruit The original estimate Of the de-
partment. based on map which gave a
wrong idea Of a certain river boundary
and an illadvertent confusion in figures,
set the leased area at between 100000
and 100000 acres. A revised estimate
shows that the total area is only 100000
acres Doubtless some Of the alarm said
to have spread among the Indians and
certainly stirring the breasts of their
friends, was due to this miscalculation,
which indicated that three-fourths or
more of the entire reservation was to be
!, let to cattle men. In the original adj
vertisement, moreover, bidders were no.
titled that they would be allowed to cut
posts necessary for fencing from timber
growing on the reservation.
