This weapon la believed to be superior to any In use In foreign armies at this time. Forty thousand of the rifles have already been completed. None will es-be Issued to the troops of the regular A Washington tablishment, however, until 100,000 the number required to supply the maximum strength of the army on a war footing have been completed. At the present rate of progress this will probably be about December 1st. The old rifle, which has been In use since just before the Spanish war, will be returned to the arsenals and later reissued to the various militia organisations now armed with the ancient Springfield rifle. It Is Interesting to note that the Spanish war, if It did nothing else, awoke the army authorities to the necessity of keeping abreast of times in ordnance construction. The United States magazine rifle, which was Introduced Just before the war began, was considered a good weapon, but a great advance has been made In the last few years in the construction of small arms. The most noticeable difference between the old and the new arm is the fact that the barrel of the latter is entirely covered with wood. This innovation was the result of suggestions made to the ordnance officers by enlisted men. In the campaign in Cuba and the Philippines it was found that after a period of rapid discharges the rifle barrels became so hot that It was sometimes necessary to cease firing for a time to permit them to cooL In man cases men in the heat of battle had the akin burned from their hands by the hot barrels The wood covered barrel is the result of these experiences, the steel being entirely covered to within two Inches of the mussle of the gun. In almost every other particular, from stock to forward sight, there is an important difference between the old and the new guns. The bore of the new rifle Is smaller, the calibre being ( about .10 Inch, while the initial velopower are both city and penetrating greater. The new gun is also several inches shorter than the old arm about the length, in fact, of the old Springfield carbine with which the United States cavalry were armed after the civil war. The "U. 8. Magazine Rifle, Model of 1903," as the new arm Is technically known, will. It Is believed, prove exceptionally popular with the enlisted force. The magazine has a capacity of five cartridges and can be fired with ease and quickness. Fully assembled, the rifle weighs a trifle more than eight pounds. Some Ideas of its efficiency can be gained when It is known that twenty-thre- e alined shots have been fired in one minute with the rifle used ns a shots In single loader, and twenty-liv- e the same time, using magazine fire. Firing from the hip without aim, twenty-seve- n shots have been fired In one minute, using tne rifle as a shots In single loader, and thirty-fiv- e one minute from the magazine. With an ordinary charge the powder pressure In the rifle chamber la about 49,000 pounds to the square inch, and the maximum effective lighting range 4.781 yards. The exceptional penetrating powers of the rifle were Illustrated In a test held some time ago. with full service charge, the rifle, fired at a distance of fifty feet, drove Its steel missile 54.5 Inches into white pine butts, and penetrated a steel plate nearly one-ha- lf Inch thick. The bullet which will be used In the arm has a core of lead and tin composition In a Jacket of cupro-nlck- el and when fired with a service charge has a muzzle velocity of 2,300 feet a second. It Is hoped by the ordnance experts ' THE ONLY PEBBLE PROSPECTS NEW YORK ARE BRIGHT. DEMOCRATIC State Thera Are Only Fifty Debatable Districts Safe Oner Are Evenly Balanced. 15. RepreWASHINGTON, Sept. sentative William S. Cowherd of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic congress campaign committee, has returned to Washington from New York, where he has been in consultation al with Chairman Taggart of the committee and other campaign managers in regard to the congress canvass and the proposal to remove the congress committee's headquarters from Washington to New York. Our prospects In New York, from what I beard while at headquarters, are extremely bright," sal Mr. Cowherd. "Our people are very confident The organization Is getting Into shape and there seems to be an agreement among all factions to work together for the Parker ticket The Democrats are going to select a good man to nominate for the governorship of New York and the state will be found to be perfectly safe for the Democratic state ticket." Mr. Cowherd said he agreed partly with Chairman Babcock of the Republican congress committee about the closeness of the campaign for members of the house, but differed from him with regard to the number of debatable districts. "He thinks there are said Mr. Cowherd, about seventy," but I have made a reasonable estimate that there are not more than fifty debatable districts. The other districts are divided about evenly between the two parties.- - I think that neither party ha any advantage over the other In safe districts, and the control of the house ' will go to the party that can carry a majority of half a hundred doubtful districts." the DemoJohn Sharp Williams, cratic leader in the house, Is also here from his home in Yazoo, Miss. Asked his opinion of the outlook for the success of the Democratic party, Mr. Williams said: "I consider that there is the most substantial basis for anticipation of coming victory. The way the Republicans are crowing over Vermont is not of the slightest Importance in the way of political straw, for its hidebound citizens have merely repeated their usual Republican performance, a little more emphatically this time because extraordinary efforts were made to get out the majority vote. In other states the trend is all towards Parker and hla chances are growing brighter every day. New York is hardly In the doubtful column according to the best information, and as goes New York so are New Jersey and Connecticut almost sure of going, "I am more confident than ever that Parker Is going to be the choice of the American people and that the lower branch of the next congress will be controlled by the Democrats. na-ton- TEA It is easy to brew a good pot of tea.

OF MEXICO, Sept 15. President Dias aptered upon his seventy-fifth year today. During the day he received numerous congratulations from army officers, civilian officials and members of the diplomatic corps. The celebration of the president's birthday will be continued tomorrow, which Is Mexico's Independence day. Congress will assemble tomorrow. sPorflorlo Dias has led a strenuous life, and it Is only natural that he should begin to feel tbe weight of advancing years It is known that he has not been a well man for some time, and It has been reported time and again that he contemplated reHe tiring from the presidency. would undoubtedly take this step were he sure all would go welL He might possibly retire from the active ad- -, ministration of the office In favor of or Senor Coral, the some one else who could he counted He upon to carry out his policies. would always be within call, however, and ready to respond, as was the case once before. That Is perhaps the only political change which may, he anticiCITY vice-preside- pated in the near future. The removal of President Dias from the service of hla country la not a the people of Mexico care to contemplate. Asaaaalna surrounded the president's chair when Dias came Into power. If liberal Mexico trusted him, conservative and clerical Mexico hated him. Lawlessness prevailed in all sections of the republic. Title to property was Insecure. The currency was debased. Foreign capital would not Invest. Pauperism was at every twist of the posal-blll- ty road. Dias, the son of a poor of Oaxaca, must have possessed Napoleonic qualities to have brought about a state df affairs the reverse of that existing when he was made president. Under Santa Ana he demonstrated hla bravery. He fought the French at Pueblo with famed bravery. He besieged Marques In the City of Mexico and hastened the downfall of Maximilian, and when war was at an end he proved himself a master In Inn-kee- statecraft Rubio was one of his early opponents. Dias raised an army against him, defeated him and his chief. Lento, snd then married Rubio's daughter. The marriage was one of love and made second In the rule of Mexico a woman noted for her loveliness of disposition and her charities.. To a resident of the national capital an end seems to have come to all partisan activity. The city has no caucuses, no conventions, no partisan harangues, no beseechmenta to rally and register no partisan newspapers, and no patriotism, for the few clerks who have retained the privilege of voting in the states they came from are cautiously waiting to see which side wins before announcing their al legiance. The work of the congressional committee goes swiftly and silently on; some scores of girls are busily addressing documents and mule teams are every day dragging to the postoffice four or five tons of franked stuff Information, allegations, and protestations. Congressman Cowherd la back from New York. This remark can be made of him three or four times a week. Your correspondent asked him yesterday what specific fact he was now endeavoring to impress upon the American people. "This week, he answered, "the fact that the Democratic party is the party of thrift and economy. For Instance, when President Authur went out of office, March 4, 1885, he left for Cleveland a surplus of barely $68,462,770. When Cleveland went out In March, 1889, he left for Harrison the magnificent surplus of When Harrison in turn $280,348,916. surrendered the presidency to Cleveland In 1893, he left behind him the pittance of 162,450,575. Under Harrison began the hard times, which continued during Cleveland's second term, but so frugal and thrifty was Cleveland's administration that it turped over to McKinley the great surplus of $157,213,632. that record Doesn't, sound very much as If the Democratic party was the party of prosperity?" Of course your correspondent scorned to answer such a question and here leaves It to your readers. General William Blmey remarked to your correspondent the other day, The most distinguished Republicans of the past generation have repudiated the principles and party of McKinley and Roosevelt. Besides John Sher man, who opposed the war on the and was therefore prosecuted on his dying bed, and Tom Reed, who resigned the eecond office in the gift of the American people because of hie disgust with his party comrades, there remain Boutwell, Carl Schurz, and Teller, wheelhorses of the Republican party through two generations and all of them in the cabinet, and Edmunds of Vermont, whom Mr. Roosevelt nominated for the presi- 1884, and who has ed the Parker club In New Just JoinYork city and win vote the Democratic ticket! tru"f and imperialism. 5nhe,JMU strange that these Illustrious men should abandon their g associations unless they had the best of reasons?
