garded as the most efficient weapon Of its

Gen. Crozier says in his report. new de-
sign Of bullet FOR the rife. the missile be-
ing Of leighter weight and greater muzzle
velocity than the bullet heretofore used.
Gen. Crozier declares that IT has become
necessary TO Increase the size OF the max
imum gun for coast defenses from twelve
inches TO fourteen inches. He calls aIten-
ton to the fact that the Pinch gun firing
a DrOjectile OF 1.0C0 pounds with a velocity
OF 900 feet a second only lasts sixty
rounds. and. as the gun is capable Of
firing at rate of forty-five rounds an
hour, the life Of the gun could be reached
in less than an hour and a half

period that would eIapse from the time
that the leading vessel Of the fleet would
come within range until the last vessel
would pass beyond the range of the coast

makes it evident that the Pinch guns
would not last through such an engage

The announcement OF the coming re-
tirement from the Cabinet of Hon. Ethan
Allen Hitchcock. Secretary of the IN
terror, which came as a great surprise TO
Washington. is universally regretted in
society where the Secretary and his fam
Iy are most popular in official and resi-
dent circles.
Coming TO Washington eight years ago
from Russia, where Mr.. Hitchcock served
as first Ambassador from the United
states. they proved valuable acquisitions
to the administration of that time. and
have preserved a uniform and dignifed
position in the many changes that have
followed. They established themselves in
a handsome home on X street owned by
Mrs. Dewey, where they discharged all
the social obligations OF their official po-
sition, and entertained their friends in
the most thoroughly hospitable fashion
ever yet achieved by any Cabinet hosts.
The marriage of Miss Anna Hitchcock
70 Lieutenant Commander Sims year
ago, left the youngest daughter. Miss
Margaret, one Of the few remaining of
Cabinet girls of the administration in
which she has been an important and in
teresting figure.
Mrs. James r. Garfield the wife Of Mr.
Hitchcocks successor, is already well
known in Washington and Will have the
distinction of being the youngest matron
among the Cabinet hostesses. Mrs. Car
field is much the same type Of woman
as Mrs. Hitchcock, in spite OF her com
pdrativc youth; interested in society in
its best sense, the mistress OF a charm
