Springfield vs- Mauser. Washisgtom, July 12—The ord nance officers of the army are indig nant at the statements that have ap peared io the preas, some of them at tributable to high army officers, quee tioning the merits of the Springfield rifle, with which a large proportipn of the United States army ia armed. These statements, they say, are cal culated to do infinite barm among tbe volunteer forcea, though the reg lars know and like tbe old Srlngfield too well to distrust it dow Tbe principal argument againat its employment by the critics is that its abort range enables the Spanish, armed with Mausers, to pick off our men long before they get within range of tbe Spiingfieldls. This is said to be based upon record. Tbe Springfield baa a range of 3,400 yards, which ia only a few hundred yards short of the Mauser, and the former's grain bullet is said to bavegre&Hr killing power at tbe long ranges. Tbe opinion of some good practica ble soldiers as to tbe respective merits of the Springfield and tbe modern small bore, ia shown by the fact that such able soldiers as Col. Ray and Col. Schuyler of New York, who are organ ising independent regiments, have specially requested tbe war depart ment to supply them tbe former. A good deal has been said also, as to the great superiority of smokeless powder used in tbe small-bore over tbe black powder of tbe Springfield, but one of the best ordinance officers in tbe war department has declaied that there are merits in both powders.

In the President’s Hands. The conduct of tbe war is now left with the president, and, judging from tbe past, it can be safely intrusted to his discretion. Tbe president can make a treaty of peace with Spain, but it must be rati fied by tbe senate, so it ia possible that an extra session of the senate may be called before the regular session in December if Spain concludes to make peace. In tbe absence of peace negotiations, however, President McKinley can car* ry on the war without assistance from Congress. In fact, it is doubtful whether ite presence would be deairs* ble.—Baltimore Bun. Catarrh Cannot be Cured By LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.
