Krupp , at Essen , In Germany , have on board ship nt Hamburg for the fortifica tions of Cronstadt n monster piece of ordnance - nanco weighing 233 tons. The length of tills gun Is said to bo 40 feet , its callbro 13 > i inches and diameter OK feet , wbllo we are further told that its rungo is cloven milea nnd that n four foot long projectile , welch ing 1,100 pounds , wns 11 red from it with TOO pounds of powder nnd penetrated 1'J lnches of armor. In the first plnco there is no 2J5 ton gun in existence. In the second , when there Is wo may expect from it bettor results than have been attained by it's predecessor. Krugg's largest cnn is said to weigh 150 tons. Itisnotn.ulto48 feet long , and with 1,223 pounds of powuer cnn throw projectile of 3,500 pound a I lirough .sixty inches of wrought iron. The same llrm has also manufactured or designed guns of 130 and 111) ) tons , the latter for tho.fortillcatlons at Spozia , in Italy , i'or \ much hotter results , however , oven than those credited this apocryphal gun , wo can look in England. The Armstrong is a 180- ton gun mounted. The Duotlo , an Italian man-of-war , Is thirty-nlno feet long and its cnlibro seventeen Inches. It can throw a 3,000-pound projectile with 100 pounds of powder through twcnty-nluo Inches of wrought Iron. This record beats the Imag inary gun nnd the Armstrong. The 105 and 110-ton guns carried by the Lauria , Doria , Henbow nnd Victoria now give as "good or better results. Designs for a gun of 150 , tons are * said to bo In the royal gun factory nt Woulwich. The raeo Jor largo guns , however , is dying out , nnd everything points to smaller guns being used in preference , both afloat and ashore. The Liiltlsh slxty-sovon-ton gun puts a 1,200- pound projectile through three feet of armor. The French forty-sovon-ton gun , with an 1,800-pound projectile , can picrco nearly the Bimo thickness nnd Its range is cloven and a half miles , while this ngaln is Jess than that of the nine-Inch British gun which was used to tire the jubilee range at Shooburyncss in 1837.

WASHINGTON BUIICAU Tun OUVUA 513 , FOUIlTtBSTIl STlinET , WASHINGTON , U. C. , Oct. 1 Secretary Noble says that his decision In the ro-rated pension case of Senator Man- derson may bo regarded ns n precedent In a number of other similar cases. bcuntor Mandcrson , however , occupied n somewhat different position from the major ity of pensioners recently ro-rated. His case was considered and nu Increased pen sion allowed him without any application on his part or , In fact , any knowledge that such was being done until ho had received a cer tificate from the commissioner of pensions showing that his pension had been Increased. As a pension ofllco ofllcial remarked to-day : Ona difference between Senator Man dcrson and the rest of the re-rated pensioners is that bo has returned the money and the others have not. " It Is said that most of the others who nave been ro-rntod made an application for It , which ho did not. Tliero are about thirty of the employes of the pension oftlco whoso pensions have boon re-rated. In some instances this ro-ra'.ing wns done upon their application and in other cases it was done without the knowledge or the pensioner. Some of vbeso cises were al lowed by Commissioner 1'nuner while tlmy wcro on appeal before the secretary of the interior. The present acting commissioner , Hiram Smith , was ro-rated , but It is understood that ho made an application to that effect and in that particular the legal requirements were complied with. 'Ihoro nro others in the pension oillco us well as out- aide wnoso pensions wcro re rated and who received arrearages ot from $0,000 to fin.OOO , and under tins ruling in the Mnnaoreon case all arc char acterized as being illegal. The question now arises to what extent , if any , will Senator Mundorsnn's example bo followed by those who occuuy substantially the same position. It is thought that the now commissioner of pensions will have this question to consider among the first duties which ho will bo called upon to perform. The commissioner has the right to recover all money illegally paid on account of pensions , nnd in cases where the arrearages have already been ex pended the government can conllscato all nil future payments. So far there has been no attempt to recover any of the money which has Deen paid illegally to pensioners. It is said to bo the desire of the secretary of the Interior to enforce ns far as practicable the collection of the money , and that active measures will bo adopted ns soon as a com missioner of pensioners has been appointed.

The astonishing enterprise of Chicago , which will do a great deal towards securing for the city by the inko the much coveted world's fair of IhOa , was impressed upon the residents of Washington to-night when itbc- caruo known that the citizens of the windy city had opened a general information bu reau at parlor 0 , Wilhfrd's hotel , and that Mr. E. S. Taylor was to bo charge d'affairs. ' Mr. Edward Walker , chuirman of the committee - mitteo on congressional action , accompanied Mr. Taylor hero but will return to Chicago within a few days , just as soon ns tlio head quarters are in order. It is the intention m establishing tlio headquarters hero to have some ono always on hand to answer the many questions that will surely bo pro pounded during the winter nnd to have a settled rendezvous where the friends of Chicago cage can meet nnd whcio these in charge can have the most favorable conditions un der which to present tha many advantages , of the giant of the west. It Is probable that the headquarters , which will bo opened prin cipally as an information bure'uu , will bo roado very attractive before congress con venes by the addition of many of the luxu ries , both imported and domestic , and there will bo no place where all will bo more wel come nnd frco to como and go at pleasure tlan thero. Chicago has again stolen a march on its would-bo competitors and is the first of all the cities that are anxious to se cure the fair to como fairly into the figbtuud establish headquarters at the front. iioAdLANn's ' AUUHESS. President A. Hoagland , of Lincoln , Neb , , to-day delivered his annual address at the opening of the Boys' aud Girls' National Homo and Employment association. Ho quoted statistics to prove that crime is on the increase among the youth of the land. There are 70,000 convicts in the prisons and one-half of them are under twenty-ono years of ago. There are 20,000 boys and girls In reform schools and reformatory institutions. Thirty thousand tramps urn abroad in tlio land , nnd over one-half ot them are boys. They are tramps Decauso they have no homes or employment. Eighty per cent of tltcso tramps como from the largo cities , und their early life was ono of street vncabondage , llnally driven from the cities by the law or by sheer want nnd the necessity to keep movlne In order to keep allvo. 1 he object of the association is to sccuro national , state nnd county aid in providing homes nnd em ployment and in aiding in tlio education of these boys , to divert them from lives of Idle ness nnd crimo. In each city a local associa tion is formed of twenty members , including the mayor and chief of pollco. A frco Intel ligence ofllco is established , the members procuring homes among farmers for the friendless lads. In the rural districts the plan is to establish country Intelligence of- lices which will co-opcrato with the city ofllces and aid la the placing of boys among the formers. These local associations are to bo formed into a state organization , with the governor of the state at the bead. INDIAN VOTCI13. Every male Indian over twenty-ono years of ago who receives an allottmont 01 land la severally becomes a voter by an act of the late congress , and tha successive termina tion of the negotiations with the Sioux Indians by which they surrender a largo part of their reservation In Dakota will , by next year , throw into the politics of that state a,700 voters. This vote thrown solidly , as it probably will bo , in both state and national elections , Is likely to become an important factor In the state. At the interior depart ment it is thought that upwards of ' . ' 0,000 Indians will bo entitled to vote la the next presidential election. CANDIDATES ANI ) THEin rilOSPKOTS.

AVASHINQTON , Oct. 14 The inter-stato commerce commission has made a decision in the case of Leonard Chappello against the Chicago & Alton. The complainant was formcrlv allowed to ship live cattle in car loads from Mount Leonard , Mo. , to Chicago at $50 per car and to load twenty head in a car. car.In January the complainant was informed that the rata would bo 21 cents per 100 pounds In carloads of not less than 20OuC pounds and any excess In that number of pounds to the cir will be charged for at the same rate. The commission decides this is not unlawful nnd being moro only in proportion tion to tha service icndnrcd la prlnin facie moro Just nnd reasonable than the prnetico it supplanted. Upon hearing it wns shown by suite laws or rulings of the stnto conunision- cra , that shippers of cattle in Kansas or Missouri to points within the state had a right to load cars without regard to the weight at the stated prlco per car. It was said the rule was the same in other states , and the commission was urged to conform thereto. The couunsssion holds that such stnto action is not n reason for the adoption of line rules in inter-state trafllc , It that cniibo is found not to bo the most Just and politic. State action will nlwavs bo treated with the highest deference and respect , but cannot ho allowed to control matters within federal Jurisdiction. niuotion Crooicodnest. CHICAGO , Oct. 11.
