nllli Discussion nf Pom iter
Vlve.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. The annual re
port of Admiral O'Neill contains an Interest
ing summary of the Important developments
of the year in the matter of naval ordnance
and armor and powder. The estimates
for the next year, which aggregato J7, 107,835
lucludo a slnglo Item of $4,000,000 under tho
head of an Increase of tho navy, anno.
and armamtnt. Tho admiral makes no
recommendations on the armor question.
There cro also tho Items of t300,0OO for
a new mat-r.zlno ut Boston; , $500,000 for
rcforvo ammunition: $500,000 for smoke
less powder aud, $923,819 for tho Washing
ton navy yard nnd proving grounds and
a now battery for tho Baltimore. For re
servo guns for tho auxtlllary cruisers to
bo kept In readiness for Instant service
thcro Is an Item of $250,000.
Tho chief of ordnance says that such
progress has been iuado In bis work that
all of tho guns will bo ready for tho ships
now. building when they nro complete. An
Increased supply of all kinds of ammuni
tion has been accumulated, and large
quantities sent to tho Asiatic station. Next
year will show nn unusually larg.0 number
it finished guns turned out. Promising
results havo been attained with an eight
Inch gun, In which tho breech plug Is coni
cal, surrounded by a' continuous screw
thread, which locks perfectly wlthono pull
of ti lever. This 'gun has beeti ''fired six
shots por minute1, on, extraordinary ac
complishment for a gun of this heavy char
acter. It- 's recommended -that the' Balti
more's battery bo modernized while she Is
being overhauled, so as t'o give her twelve
six-Inch naval rifles, and a good, secondary
batter)'. Large quantities of cxcollent smoke
less powder were piqeured during the year
from private manufactories, and tho now
battleships, as well as tho Atlantic', have
beon supplied with It, 'wMlo r7 'stock' has
been accumulated for general use,
Double Turrets a Success.
Admiral O'Neill praises the double turret
system, which ho Bays Is an unqualified
success, so that many officers originally op
posed to the superimposed turrets havo
changed their views.
Tho armor question is treated histor
ically In tho report and only the most
concise statement respecting the opera
tions of tho yenr Is made, unaccompanied
by any recommendation for tho future. It
Is said that tho armor companies dollverod
during tho year 4,869 tons of nrraor, leav
ing only 1,437 tons In manufacture, which
will bo completed within six-months.
There remains to be contracted for 36,
810 tons.
Experiments having shown that tho su
periority of the Krupp armor Is limited
to that abovo live inches In thickness,
the bureau divided tho armor to bo con
tracted for into two classes with a view
to reducing the cost by allowing tho
thinner, armor to be treated under tho or
dinary processes. Of tho submarlno boat
Holland, Admiral O'Notll says that whllo
tho trial runs, probably made under un
favorable conditions, havo created a fa
vorablo Impression, it (s too early as yet
to say much In regard to the utility for
war purposes of tho boats of this type.
Undoubtedly tho moral effect of their
known or suspected proximity will .bo con
siderable, but that intimate knowledge of
their qualities will be necessary bofore a
correct estimate of their military value
can be itnade.
Smokeless ami other Povrder.
One of the appendixes to tho report Is
that inado by Lieutenant Strauss, In com
mand at the proving ground nt inUn
Hea), where an explosion occurred Iar-
night. His remarks on the question of
tho stability of smokeless powder nre
timely In view of one theory that tho ex
plosion resulted from spontaneous rnm
bustlon of such powder. Ho says In his
report: "In a new explosive tho quostlon
of stability Is one that occuplos tho first
place. A sample of five-Inch powder that
had been in a magazine of the Marblehead
for two yejrs was recently tested at the
proving grounds. It does not show the
least deterioration in ballastlc qualities.
nor does It give any evidence of having
altered chemically. Another sample kept
in a magaxine nere for one year shows
equally good results."

material being in largest demand, whllo
pig Iron lu some selling centers has boon
moro actlvo thau In recent weeks. Tho
placing of contracts with tho proviso that
they may bo cancelled In raso tho oloctlan
result Is unfavorable to business, or, more
specltlcally, Is against tho administration,
has been a fcaturo ot the week's business.
Mcny buyers, alio, satisfied of the election
outcome, aro evidently placing their orders
In the belief that demand will lucres. o
promptly on tho announcement of the re
sult and that the rrsult on some materials,
at least, will worH higher prices.
Plates havo been advanced $10 to $13 a

sales of the last few laonths, and steel
bars aro firmer, one producer being tor the

The disparity of prices between mils ana

LOSS BY EXPLOSION SLIGHT
Magazine at Indian Hend Proving Ground
is Destroyed.
NO INJURY TO BIG POWDER FACTORY
Authorities Itelleved When It Vn
Wertnlnnl There llnd Been
o l.ttnn of I, lie or liven
Perniiiinl Injury.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25,-At 8 o'clock this
morning Admiral O'Neill, thief of ordnance,
Navy department, received a telephonic
mes.ago from the proving ground at Indian
Head, reporting that about 10 o'clock last
ulght u fire aud several explosions occurred
hi one of the filing house, and magazlues.
The cause ot tho exploilcu Is unknown ut
present, but u Investigation lg now lu
progress. No other damage was duno and no
one was Injured.
This mcBsago was received by Admlrul
O'Neill from Lieutenant Fulleuw elder,
who Is second tii command nt Indian Head.
At tho time he scut It Lieutenant Strauss,
tho commanding officer at the proving
ground, was on his way to Washington on
the proving ground dispatch boat Santa
Barbara, to make his report of the
occurrence directly to headquarters here.
As booh ns tt became known officially that
no one had been Injured great relief was
expressed at tho Navy department.
Tho building where the explosion occurred
Is technically knowu ns "Cartridges," be
ing a place whero tho brass shells which
aru utcd In tbo small calibre rapid-fire guns
nro filled with owdtr. It Is distant about
half a mile from the wharf where the boatB
land nnd from the polut whero the armor
plate test occurs. Within 100 feet on ono
side and about 300 feet on the other nre
two other buildings, one designated on the
official map "Magazine," uud the other
nuirked "Dark," These buildings nro used
for powder storuge, and It Is not yot
positively known whether they havo nil
been destroyed or not. If they have, the
loss, as far as buildings Is concerned, Is
slight. Thoy wero constructed lightly, with
a view to avoiding contlnumcnt of the
powder contents, In case of fire. Within
tho three buildings wero stored about fifteen
tons of brown powder and ten tons of
smokeless powder. Tho latter, when not
closely confined under pressure, Is not ex
plosive, but creates a vast flame, and Ad
miral O'Neill thinks it was tho flro blazo
from tho burning Binokclcss powder which
gave rlso to tho belief that a great uccldcut
hod occurred
I-'uotory In .No IlniiKcr.
Tho big powder factory, representing a
large c:.pendlturo of government money,
wns never lu danger frpm the fire and ex
plosions. It Is between one and three miles
distant In n Btralght lino from tho accne
of tho disaster with hills lylug between.
Admiral O'Neill wbb about to order an
Investigation when he ascertained this hod
already begun at Indian Head. It Is always
difficult to fix the responsibility In such
cases. Tho admiral thought that some
workmen In tho vicinity ycHterday may have
ueen careless and left a burning cigarette
or match, which started a lire that
smouldered until nightfall, .when It com
rounlcntcd with somo powder. On the other
hand thero always Is a possibility, which
naval officers do not Ilko to recognize, of
somo chculcal change having taken
placo In tho powder, which resulted
In spontaneous combustion. Thn loss
In money represented by the powder Is
comparatively small, for If all tho powder
contained In tho, buildings was lost the cost
would not bo abovo $23,000, whllo tho build
ings, ns already' sti-ted, wero of the
flimsiest character'
As soon as tbo fact of thu explosion bo
camo known there was a rush ot'rcportcrs
and others toward tho proving grr 1. This
is a point very difficult of access, being
about thirty miles down thu river from
Washington nnd off tho lino of direct. com
munication. To add 'to tho difficulties of tho
nows-ga'thcrcrs thoy wero excluded from
the proving grounds proper by tho rigid
rules of tho Navy department. Admiral
O Nelll refused to suspend tho rulo In this
case, on tho ground that the safety ot thn
vlsltorB, as well ' as tho government
proporty, and the Interest of government
work required tho exclusion of outsiders
from tho grounds. lie volunteered, howover,
to ascertain nil tho facts In tbo case that
could bo of Interest to tho public and to
freely glvo them out, which ho did.
The last accident of this kind at Indian
Head occurred about six months ago. when
Lieutenant Strauss, tho commandant, wns
Injured. Flro was discovered in the shell
houso and tbe officer ventured Into It and
endeavored to prevent an explosion. Some
of tbo shells, however, exploded and ho was
slightly hurt. Tho loss on that occasion
was trifling.
Tho loss la estimated by Admiral O'Neill
at between $25,000 and $30,000 on powder
nnd ammunition. The loss to tho buildings
la considered trifling.
