1t is the intention of the War De

be used as a magazine gun, and not

There are only ninety component
parts to the new rife, as compared
with ninety-nine parts In the Krag
model Of 1898. The bolt and maya
zine mechanisms can be taken apart
and assembled much more readily. The
energy of the recoil is slightly greater
than that Of the Krag. but that is a
thing that cannot be avoided If greater
velocity Is to be secured. The weight
Of the new rife Is 10 per cent less
than the Krag, which weighs 1864
pounds.
An army ofi1cer, explaining the nne

foreign rifles.
Experiments were made with the
Krag to increase this muzzle velocity,
but 1t was found that the mechanism
was not strong enough to resist the
increased powder pressure. SO in

VIRTUALLY VACANCY IN
SENATE FROM OREGON

Washington, July SIN view Of his
conviction in q criminal court, the re-
lation of John 81. Mitchell, of Oregon,
is similsr to that Of Joseph r. Burton,
Of Kansas. Both were convicted on
essentially the same charge. Senator
Burton appealed from the verdict Of
the lower court, and the supreme court
ordered new trial, which has not
yet been reached.
Since his Indictment Senator Mitch
ell has appeared in the senate only
once and then it was to make q state
ment protesting his innocence. Sena-
tor Burton, after his Indictment, took
no part in the senate proceedings, the
leaders Of that body having told him
quite peintedly that he was not ex-
peoted to do 90.
Whether the senate will expel Sem
ators Mitchell and Burton in the event
Of their final conviction has not been
determined. It is possible that they
will be permitted to resign, but at any
rate they will not be permitted to take
any part in the work of the senate.
The conviction of Senator Mitchell
practically causes q vacancy in the
chairmanship Of the important COM
mittee on interoceanic canals, Mr..
Mitchell having succeeded to this place
after the death Of Senator Hanna, of
Ohio. Senator Platt. of New York,
the ranking member, does not want
the Craftsmanship, and next in order il
Senator Willard, Of Nebraska, who is,
therefore, eligible to the chairmanship.
Secretary OF the Interior Hitchcock,
at whose instance the land fraud trials
were begun, did not conceal his graft
citation over the news that Senator
Mitchell had been convicted. He has
consistently predicted that the govern
ment would secure conviction in this
and several other cases.
At the same time Mr.. Hitchcock said
that the prosecution of Mr.. Mitchell
had not been vindictive, but simply
in line with the administration policy
OF upholding the law without discrim
ination. The secretary added that the
government would interpose no objec-
tions to Senator Mitchelps motion for
q new trial.
