In 1895 the .30 U.S.Gov't was the .30-40 Krag, which later became .30 Army when the .30-06 came out and was given the .30 Gov't moniker. I don't see how they could've shoehorned a Krag cartridge into the Savage.

I'll bet if some weisenheimer dangled enough money in front of the Savage folks in 1895-1898 they would've done one up in the then new .30WCF (.30-30).
