MAKING sMoKELEss POWDER.

None of Product Used by Army IL
Inspected During Process.
mot a single pound Of the great
quantity of smokeless powder manu-.
featured by private concerns for the
use OF the army" remarked an ord
nance officer to Washington Star man.
lis inspected in any manner during the
process of making. Consequently as
the state Of the art has not progressed
to a point where it Is possible to be
sure of the keeping qualities OF that
powerful explosive, the ordnance off,
GERS of the army are kept In a state OF
constant anxiety as to the safety OF
the soldiers handling the powder, az
well as for the civilians resident In the
neighborhood of the magazines.
'That condition results from the
lack of sufficient number OF officers
in the ordnance crops and, although
that fact has been repeatedly shown to
Congress, no remedy has been applied.
Another illustration of the lack OF
skilled ordnance officials Is found In
the case of the great manufacturing ar
senals. At WATERFOWL only one officer
can be spared to inspect the work OF
1900 men who are daily turning out
$50 modern rifles of the most accurate
and delicate workmanship. Every one
of the numerous patterns and parts OF
these should be carefully measured,
but that is impossible for mere lack OF
INSPECTORS, and it is feared that some
Of the weapons may fall below the high
standard required. So the proposition
from Congress. to establish govern
ment factory for making smokeless
powder for the army like the naval
plant at Indian Head threatens to
make the situation worse, for 1t will
draw upon the already depleted force
of ordnance officers for inspectors and
superintendents.
ut has been found difficult to recruit
that force, too, for the service is no
longer either from pay or duty attract
i've to ambitious junior officers OF the
line. and within the past few days It
has been found necessary to meet an
emergency by temporarily detailing
dozen young officers to the ordnance
oorps without much reference to their
own wishes.

Need Money for Chileans

Washington, Sept. 12.-1n view OF
the indifference shown by the Ameri-
can people toward contributing money
for the assistance of sufferers from the
Valparaiso earthquake and fire, it is
probable that the president will in q
short time issue another proclamation
calling the attention of the people OF
this country to the distressing state OF
affairs in Valparaiso and asking for
contributions. The Red Cross head
quarters in this city announced Tues
day that they had up to date received
between three and four thousand dol
lars, but as yet the majority OF the
branch societies have not been heard
from.

COMING NEARER TOGETHER
Progress Toward Lease of Ore Lands to
Steel Trust.

Stccl 1IuSts
New York, Sept. 1O.-The receipt
of the decision handed down last week
by the supreme court of the state Of
Minnesota in the Virginia Silver mine,
which is regarded as definitely estab-
fishing the rights of the Great North
ern Railway in the lease of certain ore
lands from the state, caused a report
in Wall Street that the long delayed
agreement between the Great Northern
and the United States Steel Corpora
ton for the lease and operation of the
so-called Hill mines in the Lake Supe-
rior district was soon to be announced.
The court decision removes one Of
the obstacles to the proposed agree
ment for the constitutionality of the
law under which the Great Northern
had secured leaseholds.
The negotiations for the Hill ore
holdings have been pending for nearly
three years, and several times have
been reported near conclusion.

Honcymooning Under Difficulties.

We are shown a delightful picture of
the king and queen of Spain passing
their honeymoon alone on the bank of
q romantic stream. While no soldiers
are in sight it is safe to bet that few
private detectives are beating up the
bushes for bomb thrOwers.
1t must be fine to have a real queen
for a bride, but when the anxious lover
has to be looking out Of the window
at regular intervals to see that no Off
cious person has placed bomb under
the corner Of the house it may detract
some from the pleasure Of the honey
moon, although Alt must be somewhat
used to it>by this time.
To be a king looks grand enough on
paper, but there is much more subdued
and uninterrupted joy in being the
husband to a sweet girl graduate and
starting housekeeping with her in a
modest cottage with a full outfit of
installment payment furniture
