NEW RIFLE TESTED.
tn Rapid Firing It Is Not as Successful as
the Old Springfield Rifle.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-—-Tlie first of a. series\
if tests of the utility of the Krag-Jorgcn-
zen rifle was made at Fort Sheridan.
lIany officers believe its use will be aban-
loned. The latest complaint is that the,
iew gun is not as rapid firing as the old
Springfield rifle. To determine this point'
the war department has directed the com- ,
handing officer at Fort Sheridan to make '
1 series of tests. Colonel Crofton has de- l
iailed from each company ten of the best/
ind most rapid marksmen, who will con-l.
lost the tests in accordance with the rules ,1
laid down for skirmish firing. ;'
In the first of these tests the sharpshoot-l
irs used the new rifle as a single fire
weapon. A second test was made, the
magazine being used. It was clearly dem-
)nstrated that more shots chuld be fired
.n a specified time by using the rifle as a
Iingle firearm than by using the maga-
zine, as the time lost in refilling the mag-
izine could not be made up.
From 40 to 90 seconds were required to
lre ten shots, the rifiemen working as
fast as their arms would permit.
The men say that the weapon is cum-
bersome and not as easy to load when
men are acting as skirinishers as the old
rifle was.
BURNED ON THEIR SHIP.
An Engineer and Backhand of the Maca-
tawa Per-lulled In the Flames.
CHICAGO, Sept. 27.—The excursion
steamer Macatawa was burned to the wa-
ier’s edge today and two members of the
:rew are supposed to have perished in the
domes. They are Barney McGonigle, en-
gineer, and an unknown man, deckhand.
The fire broke out in the lumber yard
which is on the north side of Slip E,
South pier. The flames, fanned by a. live-
ly breeze from the lake, swept- across the
slip, and in a few minutes the Macatawa
was in flames. Captain Napier and his
men were sleeping when the boat took
fire. Napier was in his cabin and was
awakened by the smoke, which poured
into his quarters, almost, suffocating him.
He tried to get below to warn his crew,
but the flames drove him back, and he
had to jump to the dock to save his life.
cCuptuin Napier says he does not think
it possible that the engineer and deck
band could have saved themselves, and
the fact that they are not to be found is
regarded as conclusive evidence that they
are dead.

General Denial That the State Administra-
tion Has Been Corrupt—President
Cleveland Indorsed and 3. Mon-
ey Plank Adopted.
TRENTON, Sept. 27.—-The following is
the platform of the Democratic state con-
vention, adopted today :‘
We reaffirm the national DemOcratic.
platform adopted at Chicago in 1892 and
cordially indorsc the administrat‘ion’bf
President Cleveland, with Whose deter-
mination to protect the people of this
country from the evils ever attendant upon
the debasement of the national currency
ulcers in most earnest sympathy. We
congratulate the people upon the revival
of prosperity, everywhere evident in our .
land, and, we assert that the industrial
depression with which ~» we have been af-
flicted during the past three years is
chargeable to national legislation enacted
by the Republican party. The purchase
of silver, to be stored in the treasury, and
the enactment of unjust tariff laws to en-
rich a. few favorites by the Oppression Of
millions of consumers were the main
causes of the paralysis of our markets.
That paralysis, with an empty natiOnal .
treasury, were the legacies received from
Republican administration. The battle
against a system formed in violation of
self evident laws of political economy has
been won. ~
We denounce as maliciously false the
statements of the Republican state plat-
form that the government of New J erscy
has been conducted by the Democratic
party in a dishonest or extravagant man-
ner. Tho senate committee, after an in-
vestigation costing thousands of dollars

condemnation of these wrongs every good
citizen joins, but the attempt to charge
the misdoings of a. few individuals upon
the Democratic party or Democratic ad-
ministrations of this state is not warrant-
ed by the evidence and is in violation'of
the rules which common decency requires
to control the political discussion between
citizens of the state.
Against All Gambling.
We favor the adoption of the constitu-
tional amendment that will render impos-
sible any law for the legalization of gam-
bling innny forin. .
We ch'arge that the course of the Repub-
lican party in this and other states in
dealing with the question'of tho legaliza-
tion of betting-upon horse races has been
characterized by trickery and deceit. As
evidence Of this, we call attention to the
course of tlic Republican legislature of
New York whose action in attomptin to
override the recently adopted constitu-
tion of the state and permit gambling on
horse races was this year approved by a
Republican governor and further to the
fact that every bet made upon a horse race
within N ew. J ersey'during the past 14
years has been made under the protection
of chapter 147 of the laws of 1880, enacted
by a Republican senate and house.
We demand that the tax laws Of the
state be amended to provide for the equal
taxation of property not used for religious,
charitable or educational purposes.
We pledge the Democratic party to the
enactment of laws that will secure to the
people of New Jersey the control of the
pure waters of the state. The recent at-
tempt of the city of Jersey City to secure
a supply of wholesome water, absolutely
necessary to the continuance of municipal
existence, has disclosed the dangers that
threaten the people of the state. Today
the municipalities of New Jersey are at
the mercy of a few corporations who have
acquired control of nearly all the sources
of water supply within the state and who
are in a position to demand what they
will for allowing our cities to obtain this .
necessity of life.
Corporate interests.=,and. legislative neg-
lect have successfully united to prevent
the provision of a statutory remedy and
self preservation demands that those who
seek our sufl'rages should pledge them-
selves to undo the wrong and do right.
The imminence of the danger is shown
by the fact that the management of the
Republican party of this state is today
committed to the hands of those whose
fortunes are invested in water, which thfi
hope to sell to our municipalities at a
profit of unlimited millions.
Credit of controlling and directing the
Republican gubernatorial cODVention has
been properly given to a gentleman who is
the leading spirit of the water companies
of New J cr’sey and the nominee of the corn
vention last winter appeared before the
legislature as r-r msel for the “water syn-
dicate” and s. sfully Opposed all legis-
lation providi. . .or the relief of the peo-
ple from the grasp of his clients.
We condemn the action of the late Re-
publican legislature which ridiculed every
request made for legislation in the inter-
est- of organized labor and repealed acts
passed by Democratic legislatures for the
protection of the wageworkers of New
Jersey and we pledge ourselves to give
proper consideration to the views adopted
by councils of organized labor.

CIVILIZING THE INDIAN.
Interesting Facts In the Annual Report
of Commissioner Browning.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—Commissioncr
of ‘Indian Affairs Browning, in his annual
report, just issued, says the placing of In-
dians in the state public schools has not
been encouraging, owing to prejudice
against the mingling of the races on the
part of the whites and Indians. He urges
liberal appropriations for educational pur-
poses.
, In-regard to the irrigation of reserva-
‘ tions it is stated that several hundred
thousands dollars have been expended
for this purpose, and this will enable the
Indians to become self sustaining. The
commissioner believes that the Navajo
Indians have a splendid future before
them. They have good lands and are
shrewd and quick to grasp the ideas of
civilization. .In the matter of Indian
lands set apart for missionary societies
. the commissioner says that every encour-
agement is given the societies.
jAn investigation has been made of the
condition of the New York Seneca Indians,
resulting in negOtiations to pay a certain
amount to clear the Indians’ titles to
their lands.
The commissioner again recommends
that thewhites be prevented from usurp-
ing the rights of the Indians along the
Columbia river, in Oregon and Washing-
ton, und, regarding the recent Jackson
Hole troubles, says that the Indians were
not guilty of wantonly slaughtering game,
and in no instance have they been ag-
gressors against the whites of that coun-'
try. They now want the guilty whites

Westralln—The Valkyrie Will
Winter Near New York.
LONDON, Sept. 27. —The Yachting World,
in an article on the yachting situation,
says: i
“The fiasco at New York seems to have
whetted cupidlty for possession of the cup
to an extraordinary degree. Lord Dun-
raven’s yacht has not won started home-
ward before another challenge is issued
and accepted.
”This is certainly a. matter for congrat-
ulation and stultifles in a practical man-
ner the absurd comments upon' the im-
pression said to be produced upon British
yachtsmen over the last contest. Matches
between English and American clubs
should be greatly encouraged as such, but
imbuing them with international impor-
tance is just as absurd as to seek for politi-
cal motives in the lord mayor’s visit to
Paris.”
The Yachting World also prints the fol-
lowing notc from Herbert Moir, a well
known colonial yachtsman:
“I know that I am expressing the feel-
ings of many thousands of Englishmen at
home and abroad when I say that the
America’s cup should be brought back to
the Old country. I am prepared to form
a syndicate to build a yacht to be called
Westralia to bring the cup back to Old
England and to subscribe £500,” _
The Yachting World, commenting on
this note, says:
“Mr. Moir, who is' very much in ear-
nest,'has been simply astounded at the re‘
sponses to his letter. He has been inun-
dated witli offers to subscribe sums rang‘
ing from £50 to £1,000, until at the pres-
ent moment he has been promised over
£30,000 for the purpose of challenging for
the cup.
“Mr. Moir’s idea is to build a boat on
lines similar to those of the Britannia,
but with a larger sail spread. It is prob-
able that Mr. Moir will shortly interview
Mr. Watson, in which case it will be safe
to assume that the order for the boat will
go to a Clyde firm.” .
Valkyrie Will Winter Here.
Much surprise was occasioned among
yachtsmen when the news came out that
Captain Cranfield had received orders to
put Lord Dunraven’s yacht, the Valkyrie,
in a winter berth on this side.
The only reason that local yachtsmen
could imagine for the change in Lord
Dunraven’s plans was that he may have
decided to race his yacht next season in
American waters. The Valkyrie was
ketch rigged and all ready for her return
trip to Scotland. It was not thought like-
ly that the dangers of the trip ,had any-
thing to do with the decision, as all weath-
er indications pointcd to a smooth and
pleasant trip.
It was thought that perhaps the change
in sentiment among English yachtsmen
with regard to Dunraven’s action in with-
drawing from the races for the America’s
cup had something to do with the decision.
“Recent utterances by the press on the
other side, ” said oprominent yachtsman,
“and the fact that a fresh challenge for
the cup, unaccompanied by any conditiOns
such as Lord Dunraven fought for, has
been received by the New York Yacht
club before the Valkyrie had sailed make
it very plain that Dunraven’s course has
not beeuapproved by his countrymen. It
is likely that the Valkyrie’s owner recog-
nizes that fact and means to try to regain
his lost laurels by a. series of races with
the Defender next season.
“I am sure that American yachtsmen
will be glad of the prospect of such a series
of matclici
”I think that Dunraven’s decision tr.-
withdraw from the last race was taken on
a. mistaken impulse and against his best
instincts as a sportsman. "
The work of unloading Valkyrie was
begun, and a suitpble winter berth will be
selected for her at once.
Captains Cranfield and Sycamore and
the greater part of the crew of the Val-
kyrie will sail for England on the White
Star liner Teutonic on Wednesday next. .
