WAR DEPARTMENT Mors Effectively Managed Than It Baa Bean for Thirty Tear*. . B| THE MOST MODERN FACILITIES. For Making Cannon Practically Created by President Harrison's Administration?Tho Army Used lo Improve tbo Militia?A Splendid Record. IVAsmxoTOir, D. C., Juno 0.?President Harrison Is to be congratulated upon tho administration of tho afiairs of tho war department, which is perhaps ono of the most important under the covernment, asit involves tho expenditure of upwards of. S50,000,000 annually, tho superintendence of rivOr and harbor improvements and various public works throughout the country, and necessitates an evor watchful eyo on tho tree nna unoDsirucwu cvuimurca Along tho seaboard and through navigable) waterways. It requires tho most encrgotic action rospoctiug dofejices, andordnanco in connection therewith, and, in addition to the various incidental matter pertaining to preserving and perfecting tho records of the war of tho rebellion and pensioners, a catiiful management of tho entiro military system, not only with rospect to tne' United States army, but tho relation; which it bears to the etato military organizations throughout tho country, the improvement and encouragement of which depend largely upon tho interest, ;fclt regarding them by tfao President and secretary of war. In all these rcspccts tho administration of the war departmont for over three years has been more succccasful, and marked by groatar activity, than in any previous poriod for thirty years. Nearly two hundred millions of dollars have been managed and expended without tho loss through defalcation, or official mishap, of a single dollar to the government. Hiver and harbor improvements have steadily advanced, without prejudice to tho rights of individuals or corporation^ and joinlting in unioia puouc uduvuu uua?i m? improved law of 1800, authority was givon to put certain public works under continuing contract*, that la contracts made for tho entire work, to be paid for as appropriations might from tlmtttotimo be made. In the instance-! wherein such contract^ have been entered into a caving lias been eflected of from ten to thirty-throe per centum of tho optima t cd cost and average prices paid for like work in the preceding ten years. Under that law greater earn is also taken to prevent the obstruction or impairment of navigation. All la all, it may be stated that, under the nresont methods of conducting river and harbor improvements, the boat rosults are obtained at a less cost and with greater satisfaction than over before in tha history of tho country. In the matter of sea coast defenses Btoadv progress has been mndi. Despite the repeated reports of ths chief of engineers of the army year afur year, lotting forth tho deplorable condition of our national defensoi, the same Inefficient condition that had existed since tho cloio of the war waa illowed to continue until August, 1800, when a Republican Congress began tho creation of a system of proposed dofonses, and appropriate^ nearly a million and n quarter for tbo construction of gun aud mortar batteries at Boston, New York and Ban Francisco?the three great national gateways to the American con tinbnt. This appropriation was of vital importance to the country. It gave life to tho system which had been prepared by tho engineer officers of the government, and urged by Republican adminiiiratlons for years before. The system embraced: First?The armament of tho heaviest rifle guns mounted on disappearing carriages, which, while widely dispersed, can concentrate thelrfire on the enemy's vessols, and which in rango and, ponotration of projectiles will equal, il not exceed, the heaviest fire that can be brought against them by the most powerful fleot, thus keeping thft latter at a safe distance, or destroying it while attempting to past the mined areas. Second?A well-developed system of submarine mines planted in tne channels and roadways, for the purpose of holding the vessels of the enemy under tho fire of our guns, and preventing their running the batteries and reachins: the harbors and cities. Third?The protection of these mined areas from counter-mining and removal, by batteries of rapiil-liring guns of small calibre and wide field of fire. Cased upon this system, detailed projocts under the direction bF'Trosidcnt Harrison for tho defence of our principal seaboard cities and roadsteads liavo been or are being prepared. Such projects for tho defence of Charleston and Savannah are now under consideration. Last yoar an additional turn of ?750,000 was appropriated to continue the work of construction of seacoast defonces, and its application exteuded to include the defence of Hampton Roads and Washington. In addition to this n Republican Congress, upon tho recommendation of I'rosidcnt Harrison's adraini?tration, took into consideration the necessity for removing tho extorlor line of defences to a grentor distance from the object which it was intended to cover; in ether words, tho keeping of tlie enemy's licet at a point beyond bombarding distanco. The incrcaso in heavy raiisu or modern heavy rifled guns'over tlmio of formor years was found to bo 10 great as to make eight and ten miles not an unreasonable distance from a city for its outer lino of defences. Hence aroiothe necessity of acquiring-sltee, which in former years wero not deemed either necessary or favorable, anil a Republican Congress appropriated one .1 .. .... tlm .... VI UUIIUIB IV VAtl/ wuv MIO ernl (ilau, us proposed by tho war department. The point has now been roached when, by tho continuance of appropriations for const defences, the pruposod work can be carried ou systematically and judiciously, and, if continued, will ensuro greater protection than was ever dreamed of in former years. With rogard to heavy ordnanco it may be stated that, whereas a fow years a?o the United Statei in time of emergency would have been at tho inorcy of any sovcrnmont that might havo made war against it: indood, whereas, until within tho past tivo years, this government, in tiino of war, would have been shutin without heavy modern ordnanco of any kind, and without eithor tho material or plants to construct it, a very different condition of things now prevails, as a result of Frcsidant Harrison's known views in this regard. If n war should occur from this timi on, the United States would not only find itself in possession of the guns which {'resident Harrison's administration has provided it with, but would be In position tn doclaro to the world that by reason of interior resources the iongor i?i j = the war lasted the stronger would become the defences ol tho country. In othor words, up to acomparutiroly recent period, there were no steel guns of modern construction In existence in tho United Stale;, nor wore there facilities for obtaining stool, or of manufacturing them if the steal, had bocn obtained. Somo fow yoar.i ago, tho United States undertook, under tho direction of a Republican administration, to build guns of modern construction: but in order to do so, it bad to send abroad to get the forcings for inns as small as eight-inch calibre. Although there bad boen considerable experience in the manufacture of such material abroad, that obtained in this country was not satisfactory. Under tho encouragement of the war department the Midvalo Steel Works in this country first undertook to fnrnish stoel forgingi for tho small-calibre guns, and were ?o successful that almost tho first output was found to bo superior to the steel obtained from Whltwortb, ono of the moit noted of all foreign manufacturers. The forcings for tho tubes and jackets of the first oifcbt-lncb, teninch and twelve-inch guns, had to bo obtained from foreign sources; but under tho encouragement of President Harrison's war office, forgings for all of those calibre guns are now obtained in this country, and, although tho industry is comparatively a newone, the material wo obtain at homo is eqnal, if not suporior, to Mint wo can obtain from the best foreign sources. As soon as it was discovered that we had tho capacity to build and construct our own ordnance, Congress vory wisoly, under the advice of President Harrison's administration, appropriated within the last four years funds sufficient to build gun factories for both the army and navy. The naval appropriation wm made some three years in advance of the irmy appropriation, ntid their shops nro all well equipped and now machinery of American manufacture for tho heavier guns is now being rapidly put into position. The army gun factory at Watervlict arsenal is now about complete; tho plant for tho north wing is almost already-in place, aud tho machinery for tho south wing is going in rapidly. Ail the machinery for both factories has been designed and mado in tho United Statos, and tho material used in both factories is fabricated In this country. In fact, under the nnllfln nHHtiail H\? flin /lunilirii-ont /Itir. jiuiBugu w; low xu^ui fcixvitv vu?ng tho administration of President Harrison, a gigantic now industry has sprung into existence, and tho product surpasses that obtained abroad in those factories which, after many yours of experience, cost millions,, whereas, in this country, with our limited oxporiubce, *e spend only thousands of dollars. Bo that now, as n result of the firesont administration in this regard at east, the Unitod States is woll able to take caro of itsolf and maintain its rights nnder any circumstances, without such fears as were necesrarily experienced before the present administration began. It was doubtless knowledge of these facts that gave to tho administration that assurance of self-dependence and self-protection which seemed to actuate the President in the strong stand ho has felt sevornl times calloa upon to maintain in international rulations. With rospect to tho immediato management of the affuirs of tho army it is safe to say that moro good results have been obtained within tho last four years than over boforo in tho history of l<? rtAi*Awrtmnnf Xfnnir r\t tlin innnvn. tions and reforms which had boon contemplated in years provious, and which had been moro or leas constantly under consideration, were pat into practioe. For example, it was conceived that the efficiency of the army depended largely upon the personnel of .its officers, and .oflbrts were made to lift thoir ofilciency to the highest standard. To that entl the department inaugurated a system of efficiency reports which-consisted of a personal report of each officer of the army as to what matters he had given special attention to during tho year in the line of the military profession, his knowledge' of foreign languages, and whatever special course of reading, study or investigation he may have been engaged upon, together with general romarks as to his ambition, purposes, etc. Accompanying this was an efficiency report in the case of oach officer rendered by the commanding officer of regimenta, setting forth the official and norsonal status of tho officer as to conduct, habits, condition of men under hii control, capacity, for command. scientific attainments, prominont talents and populiar fitness for military duties. The rostilts In this regard have Uaam moat antlafaAfnctf onil frwilnv fhft department ia enabled in the seloction of officers for any spocihl duty to proceed more Intelligently than ever before, which retails ir. securing for the government the best talent that may be required in any given diroction. Aside from this, the system has worked well by stimulating the officer! to more studious habits, and securing perhaps even better condition of morals than before oxtstod. Then the changed and improved, law governing promotions, whereby the rule of seniority, which had previously prevailed In regard to certain corps only, was made to npply to all ofllcors Of whatovor grade, with one single exception, and this, although working to the disadvantage of a few individuals, was generally productive of satisfactory result 8. lime Unll Voitordny.
