A NEW ARMY RIFLE.

| A recent act of Congress provided
that the regular service rife OF, the
army should be supplied to the Nat
| ional Guard. The rifle now in use is
the rag-Jorgensen, and the under
standing seems to be that arms of
that pattern are to. be supplied to the
militia as rapidly as possible under
the terms of the law. Meanwhile it
appears the army is preparing to adopt
still a newer arm, and if expectations
are realized the Krags will hardly be
more than distributed to the state
troops before an arm of another pat
tern will be the standard of the army.
The new rife, which has been I'M
dergoing tests by boards Of the reg
ular army, and will be submitted to a
meeting of National Guard represen-
tatives at Columbus. O., on May T.
embodies several notable departures
from the rife now in use. In the first
place, the barrel is two inches shorter,
though the calibre remains the same
80 To make up for loss of range
through the shortening of the barrel,
the powder charge is increased and
the bullet will be so grains lighter.
Thus the effective range Of the piece
will be the same as that of the Krag,
or 1000 yards. This is 800 yards
greater than the range of the Spring
field, but 200 yards less than that of
the Mauser. The new rifle is only two
inches longer than the carbine of the
cavalry, which will permit of its be-
ing adopted into that branch of the
service, displacing the rife now in use.
1t is the purpose to arm the marines
with the ew rifle also, giving every
branch of the service, for the first
time. rifles of identical pattern. The
advantage that will accrue from the
possibility of serving all of the defen-
sive forces with the same kind of am
munition is too obvious to be COM
mented upon.
Another change is in the bayonet.
1t will be of the ''ramrod" type, in
stead of the dagger" type of the
present In one of the Philippine
fights a soldier bayoneted one of the
enemy. But he was unable to with
draw the weapon from the body be-
cause the hilt, or laws" of the bay
onet became entangled in the clothing
of the Filipino. While thus handicap
ped the soldier was killed with a bolo.
The new "ramrod" bayonet will have
no hilt or jaws, but it will make a
wound that will be quite effective.
Out of action it will lie along the bar
rel, but when there is need for 1t two
movements will put it into place and
lock it securely.
The wooden breeding will extend up
the barrel of the new rifle as far as
the hand goes in holding the piece to
be discharged. This is to protect the
hand from the heat of rapid and con-
tinuous firing. The magazine will
carry six cartridges, and an automatic
cutoff will prevent the breech from
being closed after the last cartridge
has been fired, until the magazine has
been recharged. This is to obviate
the error of the soldier swapping an
empty gun during excitement under
the impression that he is still doing
execution. There are many other ad-
yantages claimed for the new rifle, in
GLIDING the one that it will have the
--LATEST trajectory of any modern
small arm, thus securing greatest ao-
curacy of fire.

THE TRUSTS AND THE PRESIDENT


1t is fact of course that the Presi-
dent is intensely ambitious to succeed
himself. There is a pretty strong con-
viction in the public mind that the
trusts are either hostile to him or are
trying to scare him into the adoption
of a more moderate antitrust policy.
The papers which are known to be
in sympathy with the trusts are not
enthusiastic in regard to his candidacy.
They are not openly opposing him,
but they are not saying anything that
is calculated to help him. They blame
him of course for bringing the suit
against the Northern Securities Com
pany and for starting the war on the
beef trusts.
1t is true that in his speeches dur
ing his present Western trip he has
been a little more moderate in speak
ing of trusts than he was in his New
England speeches. This moderation has
been interpreted by some to mean that
he is afraid that the influence of the
trusts will be used to prevent his NOM
ination. How much foundation there
is for this Interpretation it is of course
impossible to say.
But even if the President were to
adopt more moderate policy in deal
ing with trusts it is doubtful if the
trusts would help to elect him presi-
dent. They have no confidence in him.
They are always in doubt as to what
course he will pursue in respect to any
matter relating to them. They would
like somebody in the White House on
whom they could rely to protect their
interests.
1t would not be surprising there
fore If the trusts should be against
the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt. But
will their opposition prevent him from
getting what he is so earnestly seek
ing? 1t is doubtful if it will. Mr..
Roosevelt will be stronger in the nom
mating convention without the help Of
the trusts than he would be with it.
Therefore, while he is trying not to
antagonize them to too great an ex-
tent, it is probable that he believes
that he will stand a better chance for
the nomination by being considered
their enemy.
AS to whether or not the President
is sincere in the policy he is pursuing
in regard to trusts there is of course
a difference of opinion. The New York
Sun said, day or two ago, that "since
the day he penned his first message
to Congress there has been no public
act Of Mr.. Roosevelts which has not
been undertaken and executed with
an eye single to its effect upon his
candidacy" While ii seems TO be gen.
orally conceded that the President will
be nominated IT is evident from the
foregoing that he isn't going 10 have
everything his own way in the nomi-
mating convention The suggestion is
being thrown out every once in a while

Lieut.. Col. Sprole committed sui
eide in Manila few days ago by shoot
ing. His is the tenth case of suicide
among the officers of the United
States army since the occupation of
Manila. There have, in addition, been
many cases of suicide among the en-
listed men. A dispatch says: I'm near
ly every case the suicide was directly
due to insanity, the result of exposure,
poor food and water, and disease caus-
ed by sleeping on the ground in a
tropical country" The vile and mad
dening Filipino drink "bino" con-
tributed to the suicides among the en-
listed men. but it is said the officers
never drink the stuff. Loneliness and
inconsistencies are also charged with
contributing to the mental weakness
of those who have lost their minds and
taken their lives. The records show
that up to July 4, 1902, fifty-eight
regular privates and fifteen volunteers
had committed suicide in the Philip
pines.

There seems to be some doubt about
the Prince of Wales coming to the
United States next year, although he
has been appointed head of the royal
commission to the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton. The Princes private secretary
says he knows nothing of any such
purpose on the part of his royal high
ness. STILL it does not follow that the
Prince will not come. Since Prince
Henry's visit to this country there mas
been a strong desire in England to
have some member of the royal family
come to the United States, and it is
not thought that this opportunity will
be permitted to pass unimproved.
