WASHINGTON. April u.-Anothsr and

- . result Of the recent tesla conducted
At Springfield and Sandy Hook by an ord
nance board which wss convened for tho
purpose Of giving Q hnd trial to the new
experimental rihe. designed to take the
place Of The present magazine gun.
The report OF the board reached the
Ordnance Bureau to-day, and shows that
the new experimental ride did all that
was claimed for II BY the ordnance experts.
The board. however. considered that a
considerable reduction In the length Of the
gun could be made without sacrificing any
Of it's good features. and q oompromise be-
tween the cavalry csrbine. which Is only
twenty 1.-TWO inches long. and the new rifie.
which 70 thirty inches. has been agreed
upon.
It Is now proposed to make ride ~
inches long and supply 1t TO both the
infantry and cavalry. thus doing away
with the cavalry carbine. Tho board found
that excellent results could b secured from
tho shortened gun. and that II would save
AZ much as two pounds In weight over the
gun now IN use. This 70 considered an I'm:
portant feature Of the shorter rihe, ana
only a slight Increase Of the powder charge

An OF the police captains whose precincts

TO q talk on the street trafic problem and

Capt. Piper told the captains, who are
expected to repeat the lecture to their men.
that the present traffic regulations forbid
any vehicle being backed up to tho curb on
Broadway below Thirty-fourth street, and
that 10 was the duty not only OF the Broad

city as annexes to their warehouses and that
goods were only supposed to be on the side

estly the Protestant side. The conse-
quence OF tho continued growth and
spread Of Ritualism in our churches,
abe points out Is that the country is In
many places seething with unrest, and
that bitter feeling against the clergy Is
growing is showing itself in indif-
ference to religion in general, but it would
need only a small matter to produce an
open revolt Accordingly, the present
position of the Church is ono Of the ut
most peril there are growing up
around her, for the most part UNDECIDED
and almost ignored, forces which threaten
to imperil her existence as the established
Church Of the country The causes
Of the trouble are described by Lady
WIMBoRNE. thus:
THE Church Is growing out Of touch with the
mind and intellect Of the using generation; Is
losing that old English character which bound
both clergy and iaty together and made the Church
truly national one. AL this Is due 10 the impora-
Tim Of the foreign element which makes Italy and
not England is ideal and dream, which Is seeking
to fpree upon Ensiishmsn . system from which
their fsrefathers revoited. and which. no matter
what Apparent success u may achieve In certain
directions, viii never be accepted By the people
Of this country. England will never accept an
Italianiz ed form Of worship. and the only result
that will be achieved u the influence OF this party
remains predominsnt In ths Church. Is what we see
already occurring that the Intellect OF the country
viii be driven Into Nonconformity."
The Ritualistic movement Lady VIM
BORNE calls determined assault mado
by q well-disciplined and highly organ
lied party on the Fundamental position
Of the Church of England, carried on
not only in the most extreme churches,
but by a systematic, insidious and grad
ual advance from point to point. with
one definite aim and object in view To
stay this attack on the Professionalism OF
the English Church, she says the eyes
Of all are turning at this crisis to the new
Archbishop; it is on his action TO large
extent that the fate OF our Church de-
pends.' Unless the great middle An
glican party the moderate High
Church party, which saved the Church
for Professionalism at the time OF the
Reformation and to which the vast
majority Of the laity belong shall now
range itself on the side Of Protestant
ism, the cause of the Church Of England
is lost. in the opinion Of Lady WIMBoRNE,
and the triumph will be with the party
which aims at Romanism within our
Church, if not at reunion with Rome.
Il will be seen that Lord HALIFAX and
Lady WIMBoRNE agree that the English
Church Is at crisis and that its disestab-
lishment is threatened. Coincidentally,
as the correspondence we are receiving
on the question of Ritualism bears wit
ness, the storm is also beginning to rage
in the Episcopal Church of this country.

The Ritualistic Crisis.

The correspondence We have been
printing concerning tho extremities to
which Ritualism has been carried In the
Episcopal Church demonstrates, first,
the passionate intensity OF religious con-
viction which is behind the movement
and, secondly, the passionate opposition
which it has aroused among the Protest.
ant party in that Church. The debate
in the British Parliament which preceded
the ordering of the Church Discipline
bill to a second reading by large ma
jority afforded like demonstration Of
feeling in tho Anglican Church.
In the NiHeteenth Century magazine
OF London for April there are a. many as
four papers on the subject Of Ritualism
and the revolution it is producing In the
Church Of England. The first is by Lord
HALIFAX, conspicuous as a representa-
tive and champion OF the extreme Ritual
istic party. He writes Of The Crisis
in the Church and his position is in
dicated sufficiently in his assertion that q
remark made by the late DR.. NEALH, so
famous in the Ritualistic movement Of
the middle of the last century, to the
effect that Englands Church is Catholic
though Epgland's self u not, sums up
and explains the whole Of The present
sltuasSou-' That b, according to Lord
HALIFAX. simply because the Ritualists
are faithfully standing by the Catholic
principle Of their Church and they are
sssailad IN Parliament by an alien Protest
antissn, assisted by Jewish and agnostic
allies. swhy. he asks, has the Church
of England been 90 eminently unsuccess-
full In bringing men TO the obedience of
the Faith, 50 absolutely incapable OF
retaining within its fold. not only the
great massss Of IT. population. but also
a vsry largo proportion Of those who
ars really alive to their souls needs and
Who care for spiritual oonoerns9' His
answer 10: Because she has been 90
litfis true to her own principles; because
sbs bas professed ono thing and done

really hold to Church principles are b a
rninority, but for that very reason they
must stand the moro boldly and reso-
lutely by 1the Faith and persist In
demanding the only remedy for the
