After his war shins have fired away with tho powder they have on board, which they would do in tho course- of a ten hours' battle, there wou d bo left in the entire country barely enough to supply them for a thirty-minute combat. And it would tako the powder mills of the United States, with their present facilities, nearly a year to p oduce enough pow der to supply the ships for another ten hours' battle. Such is the substance of a report made to Socretary Long by tho board of ordinanco and fortifi citions, wh'cb. " recommended tho immediate uildi i ' of a government powder factory . ly wh ' h tho cost of supplying this pu..rc uld bo greatly reduced. Ordinary powder, it must bo understood, will not do for high power guns. There is plenty of this and plenty of fine blasting powder in the country, but very littlo riflo can non powder. This last is made by only two factories in tho United States, one in Delewaro and one in California, both of them of very lim ited capacity'. Ilenco tho importance of having in store enough to meet all possiblo demands of war until more could bo offered. Has a Trottiujj Moose.
