Experiments Made to Ascertain the Best

Inspector-General of the Army Breck
inridge nas submitted to tbe War De
partment a report of the operations of
bis department. He dwells at length
upon tne activity or the army in the
past year. At one time, the report as
serts, tbe country seemed on the verge
of war. which served to show the eager
ness witn wnicn an Americans are ready
to resent indignities. When war seemed
inevitable, the response of the people to
a can, not yet maae out anticipated, tor
men was sometning tboroughly gratify
ing. These tenders of regiments of men
came spontaneously from all sections of
the country, Texas being perhaps the
first to offer her services in rallying
around the flag in defense of national
dignity. In the North and South alike
tbe spirit of patriotism was equally en
thusiastic.
A reply to the English counter case in
the Bearing sea negotiations is approach
ing completion at ine state Department
ana win soon roe ready lor the united
States counsel to lay before the arbitra
tors. The work of preparing the reply
has been going on for some weeks at the
State Department under tbe direct
charge of Secretary John W. Foster,
The lawyers and clerks who are engaged
in the work have been shut up in a large
room, and no one from the outer world
has been allowed to enter the room.
Ex-Minister Phelps and Justice Harlan
have not personally been at the State
Department during tbe preparation of
the case, in which they are counsel, but
they have been in correspondence witb
their younger representatives, and every
point made has been carefully gone over
by Secretary Foster. The purpose of
the officials is to weigh carefully every
point made on behalf of the United
States, so as to put it in the clearest
language and study its relations with
every other point, in order to avoid con
flict or compromising admissions. The
case of the United States will be as ex
actly logical and as forcible as ths com
bined skill of several able lawyers can
make it. Representatives of the United
States before the high court of arbitra
tion will leave this country in a few
weeks for Paris, where the court will
sit. The original cae of the United
States and the British counter case are
already in print, and have been sub
mitted to counsel on both sides. It is
not intended, however, to make any ol
the arguments public until the award is
made and accepted by the two countries.
The entire case will probably be sent to
Congress by tbe President and printed
in the English blue books.
During the past week Washington Citv
has been treated to a series of ' booms."
They have generally occurred in the
evening, and have had sufficient force to
set the crockery vibrating on all the ce
ramic shelves throughout the city. These
heavy detonations nave proceeded from
a rain-making experiment of the De
partment of Agriculture, whch has been
encamped at Fort Meyer, Va., just up
the Potomac river from Washington, en
deavoring to ascertain an economical
method of explosives by testing various
compositions of gases. Tbey have not
been trying to make rain there, but to
ascertain the cheapest and best explosive
compound with which to carry on their
experiments elsewhere.' They have as
certained this fact, and the explosive
which will be need next will be a chlo
rate powder devised for the purpose and
gases composed of three parte hydrogen
and one part oxygen, which ia a cheap
and simple method. There will also be
need ordinary illuminating gas and oxy
gen in the proportion of two parts of the
Former and one of the latter. The con
cussion produced from it does not cost
more than one-twentieth as much as a
corresponding explosion of dynamite or
one-tenth as much as an explosion of
" rosellite," and has the same effect. A
Srevailing impression was that the in
intion of the party was to produce rain,
but such was not the case. From 20,000
to 53,000 feet of gas is generally used in
experiments for that purpose, but at
Fort Meyer only several hundred feet
were consumed. Arrangements are now
being made to ship the entire apparatus,
composing over 350.000 pounds of freight,
to Texas and New Mexico the latter part
of the week to try and make rain in real
earnest, but the locations for the opera
tions have not yet been definitely decid
ed npon. .
