81, 100000 FOR DEFENCE
Board of Ordnance and Notifications
Says That Sum Should Be Ap-
propriated Annually.

Washington, Nov. 3O.--The board of
ordnance and Notifications in it's an
nual report says that the results of
tests made with the three-inch rapid
fire gun "show that when equipped
with these guns, and carriages the
field artillery Of our army will have
q weapon equal, if not superior, to
that of any nation
Relative to the tests conducted in
Pen SacOla harbOr the report says they
have resulted in the adoption of a sys-
tenn of fire control and direction for
coast artillery, (which, when installed,
with such notifications as experience
may suggest, as part of the coast
defense, will render it more than ever
effective"
The board renews former recon-
mendations that appropriations by
congress should be sufficient to pro-
vide a reserve supply of ammunition
of at least 100 rounds for each large
caliber gun and mortar and at least
$50 rounds for each rapid-fire gun as
soon as mounted.
An ample allowance Of ammunition
for annual target practice, and the
continuance Of the present allowance
for sub-caliber and machine gun prac-
tice, is recomm ended.
Finally, the board says not less than
100000 should be appropriated an
nually for the next several years for
the installation of a proper fire control
system at each coast artillery port

One Fare for Round Trip Here and to New
England

Kansas City Mo. June IA rush of outbound
travel has been precipitated by what promises to
be the liveliest passenger rate that this city
has known for several years The war began with
the cutting of the round trip rate to Indianapolis
SO Tickets were sold to-day for s14 80 for the
round trip between here and Chicago while 50 90
was the round trip rate TO St. Louis. The indica-
tions point protracted rate war, with the pros
pect of the cheapest excursions known for several
years between Missouri River points and points
in New Eng gland with correspondingly cheap rates
to intermediate points.
The competition started by the granting Of
a cheap rate for the Young Mems Christian AS
socation summer school at Chicago. Cheap rates
to the meeting of Modern Woodmen at Indian
apolis followed. with an announcement of
fare rate from Chicago to points in New England
and New-York and return.

There was no light shed on the postofhce

cles that he went to see the President in regard
to the investigation, but as to this ne was
equally uncommunicative there and mere

For actual work on the investigation yester
day was an off day, all the executive ofhceS oe

prepared for Postmaster Van Cott, giving 'tuI

paid therefor is likely to prove OF great inter
