MILITARY PROGRESS.
What the Armies of the World Have
Accomplished During Last Year.
Comprehensive Volume Issued by
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Inter-
est CenterS ON the Best Type
of Field Gun.

Stored with complete and interest
ing Information concerning every
branch of every army in the world,
and replete with fine illustrations
and maps, "Notes .of Military Inter
est for 1901" made public recently
by Lieut.. Col. ". A. Simpson. chief
of the military information division
is one of the best volumes of its kind
ever issued from the war depart,
ment.
The matter was compiled and ar
ranged by Capt. +. A. Edwards.
Twenty-fifth infantry; Capt, j. S.
Heron, Second cavalry; First Lieut..
II. b. Ferguson, corps of engineers,
and Second Lieut.. Il. 5. Clark, of the
Ninth infantry, with the assistance
of the mintary attaches at the vari-
Gus foreign capitals.
The first pages of the volume are
devoted to the military budgets of
the various countries for 1902, with
interesting comments and compari-
sons. The organization of military
establishments is then taken up, and
the changes in the makeup of the
British. Russian, Swedish, Seryian,
Brazilian and Argentine armies are
dealt with at length.
OF especial interest, in view of the
efforts of the United States army
to settle upon type of field gun,
is the chapter upon field artillery.
II is pointed out that there are only
two general types of modern field
guns-namely: Guns on rigid car
riages and guns with recoil devices
on the carriages, and it is stated that
neither of these types has yet oh
tanned unanimous preference,
The greatest possible rapidity of
fire is not obtained with the guns on
rigid carriages, but they posscs'I
marked advantages in simplicity,
strength and lightnesS Of material,
and their faults are stated to he the
failure of the carriage To maintain
the exact first firing position and the
uncertain action of the spade in hard
ground. With the rccoil carriage
guns. which mechanism returns the
gun to the original firing position,
great rapdity of fire is obtained,
hut the weapon has its disadvantages
in the way of complcNity of mechan-
ism, increased weight and liability
to fatal injury in action.
As vet France and Germany are
the only countries whose artillery
is actually armed with rapd-iiring
field guns. France uses a gun with
recuil ON the carriage. Germany uses
the rigid carriage type, and Russia,
Italy, belgium and Sweden have also
adopted the guns with rigid car
riagcS, Norway has adopted gun
of the recoil tyne, and Spain has pur-
CHASED broad assortment of both
types. In the new Japanese field
gun, il is stated. the recoil seems to
be taken up on the carriage.

Washington. N"v,inber l. There
is apparently 10 longer any question
of senator NJ. A. Hanna's intention
to retire from public lille at the close
of the present term in the United
States Senate. 1t is stated To day
on the authority Of a man who has
the cl,sest personal and political
relations with the Ohio senator that
MIR. Hanna will not be n candidate
for reelection to the Senate: willnot,
uuderauy combination oiconGitions,

nominationiorthe presidency in 1904
and will not, il he can possibly avoid
it. continue as chairman OF the Re-
publican national committee after
the meeting of the Republican ma
tionul convention in 1904
Ever since the death OF President
Mckinley political gossip has been
busy with Senator lIauna's name in
connection with the Republican
Observation-Disclosures. Mr.. Hanna
refused To encourage this movement
in his interest, although he never
made any public declaration on the
subject. Ii was difficult To make the
country believe that he was not plan
ming to secure the nomination In
1904, and there was great specula'
ton as tn how far he would go in us
ins the organization OF the party oil
which he was the head in iurthering
his own candidacy. 1t is no secret
that certain Republican elements
were aud have at all times been IA
vorahlc to Mr. llanna's candidacy,
and that they have been, at least UNI
til quite recently, persistently work
ing 10 secure the defeat OF Mr., Rnose-
Welt and the nomination OF senator
Hanna,
1t must he snid to the everlasting
credit al senator Hanna that he has
hadno part and lent no countenmce
t. these plans of his admirers. His
record ia the senate last winter was
convincing proof of his loyalty to
President Roosevelt.
WiJnin the last week Senator Han
ma has AIDE the emphatic statement
to one Of his confidential personal
and political friends that he will not
be- candidate for the presidential
nommationin 1904 He stated that
he valued hio life and his healt h more
than he lid any political preierinent,
He said that the two national cam
-pain44s Aa he'd managed ~ chairman
Of the national committee had done
more to break down his health than
had twenty years of an active bus
ness life. Senator Hanna told OF his
experience in the campaign just clos
ed III which he was compelled on sew
eral OCCASIONS to accept help in leav-
ing the platform at the close OF an
address. He said hat he was so con-
sti-utcd tf1at ne could not -take n
complacent part in the campaign,
but gave up all his line to it, became
nervous, lost sleep and kept i'll the
fight until he collapsed. The sena-
tor stated in positive terms that he.
could not and would not allow his
name 10 be used IA a candidate for
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton in 1904, nor would he seek re
electiun.

The change in plans has been brought
about by q desire on the part of the
Cleveland manager to avoid any posst-
bic legal complications that may result
when the players don Cleveland uni

Mr. Sommers wishes to be in posi-
ten when the great second basemaG be-

cation between Washington and arlins-
ton and Fort Myer. It is Used constant
~ by cavalry snd artillery. as well as By
thousands Of visitors to Arlington ard

plies TO Washington.
The present bridge does Tot accom-
modate street cars. and persons using
electric lines reaching 70 the bridge
on either side of the Potomac must walk

both hot and cold weather.
During the past ten years the
bridge has been patched up from time 10
