The report states that the department hns thus completed two olght-lnch , ono ten-inch nnd ono twolvo-lnch brccchloadlng , stcol rilled cuns. Ono of the eight-Inch guns was tested with Ucrman smokeless powder with significant results , fifty pounds of the com pound giving the projectile n higher velocity with about the sniuo pressure as 125 pounds of black powder. The time allowed the Pneumatic Dyna mite Gun company for the delivery of ton Kims has boon extended to January 1 next lor the llrst delivery mid July 1 , IS'J-J for the last delivery. Among the estimates submitted Is ono of fl.lUU.OOO for oil tempered nnd annealed stool foroight , ton and twelve Inch guns , includ ing the parts required for the manufacture of a typo sixteen Inchgun. On the subject of this gnat gun about equal In BIZO to the largest rillo In the world. General Flaglor Bays : Recent Improvements In the resisting power of ships armor would seem to still further emphasize the already recognized necessity for guns of this calibre. A ? It would bo foolish to conclude that the im provements In the resisting power of armor have reached their Jlnal limit , nnd as much tlmo Is required for completing n typo of gun of such high power us may have bccomo un nbsoluto necessity for ovorcomlngsuch resist- ntvco , the sooner the work is commenced the bettor.

The report describes at Iwiglh the oxbnus- llvo experiments made by the department With magazine small arms , Including the latest European models. On this subject the report says : That but low magazine guns of American design have yet been brought before - fore the board. This depart ment Is doing nil In Its power to nlTord American Inventors all opportunity to meet the requirements of now existing con ditions , nuinely the chnrigo In calibre mid the introduction of smokeless powder. The In vestigations made and knowledge gained by this department liavo not demonstrated no much excellence In the magazine arms which have boon adopted by foreign nations as was expected , mid have not shown such per fection in any ono of them ns could warrant Its adoption for our service. It Is hoped that this country can produce n bettor arm , nud until It can , or certainly until It 1ms been demonstrated that It cannot , It would bo bo wlso to defer n change from the excellent eluglo leader now ' Intel-vice to a magazine System. 111 PFKHKXCMS AllllAXH Kit.

The Journal says there Is nothing in the attain ot the Maver ick bank of which the clearing house coin- in It tee of the Boston associated banks has not been fully advised.

The facts regarding the Foam of the bank have been In the possession of the comptroller of the currency slnco last Jan uary und It Is now Intimated that , another comptroller Is likely to uo appointed before long.The The general loan account outsldo of the $ 2,400,000 duo from directors and the Evans losses , is good nnd shows good Judgement and careful banking. The directors' loans have still considerable collateral behind thorn. Speculation is the ono word that explains -speculation in stocks and grain wltn the Maverick batik funds backing the deals. The llrst great speculation of the MavericK bank was by Messrs. French and Potter In Now York and Now England. It was suc cessful from a pecuniary point of view , but In that success lay concealed the ultimate ruin of the bank. In.tlio Now Vork nnd Now England mystery deals the banks funds were used to a startling degree , nnd the system of operations then begun culminated In the ruin of the bank , and all its directors , Although the Maverick has been knoivn as n speculative bank , no ono outside of Mr. Evans and the bank directors could have Imagined the extent of the speculation ! ! . It is now not to bo wondered at that when the death of Irving A. Evans was announced that Potter , In the directors room , should have physically collapsed , but it Is a wonder In the light of present revelations that ho should for so many days hnvo patched up affairs and stemmed the currant. The Boston banks brought over Monday night many million * of their reserve hold In Now York and are In n Urohgor financial po sition than has boon the case for a long tlmo.
