I was present a few months before his death when he witnessed the execution of a will made by a friend; we were together over an hour, and the talk was on matters of that kind, and I found that while he agreed with his friend that arrangements of that kind ought to be made he was very reluctant to think about the matter, and lett the impression on my mind positively that he had as yet made no will. And trom the statement. of his lawyer in last evening's Stax he certainly made no Wiil after his conversation with me.

They are all distinct and sepa- Tate from each other; the commanding officers, ‘with perhaps one or two exceptions, do not hold commissions, and the men are not regularly en- Usted. Under the rules and regulations for the national drill none of the local companies could enter Into corapetition. If by sufferance of other organizations they should be allowed to compete, they could not be entitled to _ receive a prize, although they might be the acknowlddged superiors of all other competitors. With this view of the case, a strong effort is being made to have all the local militia reorganized pn a sound military basis before the opening of the na- Uonal drill, in order that all possible objections to their organization may be removed. ‘The matter has been brought to the attention of the War De- partment, and’ 1s’ now in the hands of Adjutant General Drum, who is giving it his personal atten- ton. As soon as the best method has been decided upon it will be submitted to the President tor action, ‘THE PROPOSED PLAN 4s to secure an organization under the old law of 1803, which empowered the President to commis- ston officers for the District militia, Although many of the provisions of the law referred to are obsolete and ridiculous in the light of the advance- inent in military organizations of the present, hat power Is, 1¢ 1s sald, Still operative, and if exercised ‘Will settle the whole question. While the general pian has ‘been practically: de- termined, there are details to be adjusted which. will require careful consideration, ‘The first step 1s to have the President commission somebody a brigadier-general of militia, who shall be in com- mand of all the different local organizattons. Its, understood that a private citizen’ will_be_recom- mended for the office, and not one of the District Commissioners, as was recommended by the chict of ordnance, NO CHANGE OF THE PRESENT ORGANIZATIONS. It 4s not intended to change in any way the Present organization of the different companies, for fear of arousing feelings of discontent and Jealousy. With a brigadier general in command, it ts proposed to secure through him commissions for the officers of the different organizations, and then to regularly enlist the men belonging to them. The enlistment may be only temporary, and after the drill privates Who wish can be hon- orably discharged, with credit for past services If, a year from now, they wish to re-enlist. they will have their honorabie-discharge papers to show. If no unexpected obstacle 15 encountered, itis thought that the above simple plan will solve | the problem of the status of the District militia and will enable any of the organizations to ent the drill competitions on equal footing with the national guard of the States. THE NATIONAL GUARD OUR ARMY IN CASE OF WAR. “By the Way,” said an army officer to a STAR re- Porter this morning, “the national guard will be our army in case of war, and all that we can do to Ln- prove it should be done gladly and tmraediately. n the event of war the regular army will probab be practically dissolved in the militia, and_ if 1t is not it should be. A regular army of 23,000 men for 60,000,000 people will amount to nothing in Ume of war. ‘The army should be regarded as a traluing school simply for the benent of the national guard in ume of war. Placing the regular army officers at the disposal of the gov- ernors of the States, to organize and assume com land of the volunteer troops, would, I think, be ene best disposition of our army officers in war ieee see.

Sedgwick fell, inaugurated by the surviving members of the Sixth Army Corps, received an impetus last night, when the Sedgwick Memorial Association met at Grand Army Hall. Gen. Horatio G. Wright, who Succeeded Gen. Sedgwick in command of the corps, was made chairman, and Col. F. G. Butterfield secretary. Among others present were Gen. Brown, Capt. E. R. Campbell, Capt. Partridge, Geo. W. Johnson, of Philadelpiila, chairman of the ‘ecutive committee of the association; Jas, Mc- and David Ginther, treasurer. son and Mr. Ginther addressed the meeting, ving an outline of the objects and efforts of the association, and the program for the dedication of the monument to be erected at Dee on the spot where Gen. Sedgwick ell, Mr. Hatton was appointed a committee to solicit ‘subscriptions, Capt. Partridge, Mr. Hatton, and Col. Butter- field Were appoliited a committee to make: arrange- ments for the proposed excursion, A nunber of Sixth Corps soldiers from Phiiadel- phia, on a recent visit jo the Virginia battie-fieids, Were astonished to find that ihere was no stone or tablet to mark the spot where Gen. Sedgwick ffeil Keturning to Phiiadeiphia they calied a number of their old comrades Uogether, atid it was then determined that some proper and iuexpen- sive memorial stone should be erected. This led to the:formation of the Sedgwick Memorial As- soclation, A circular issued trom the headquarters, of the association says: “It is not intended to con- struct-an expensive monumental memorial; that the Sixth Corps longsince did and the handsome bronze statue of sed ‘kK, On the West Point parade ground, attests Wie generous remembrances of the followers -of that famous general. It is de- Signed Lo purchase from the Alsop farm a littie less than an acre of ground, to erect a neat and a) ate stone tablet, some 8 teet high and5 feet square at the base, properly inscribed, and to enclose It with a sultable guard or railing. ‘This, it is ascertained, can be accomplished for the sum. of about $2,000. It 1s proposed to have the stone in piace, ready for dedication, on the twenty-third anniversary Of Gen. Sedgewick’s death, the 9th of May next.” The design for the memorial stone selected proposes a monument of Quincy granite, 9 feet high, 5 feet 5 inches at base, with sultable inscriptions on each of the four sides, and inclosed. by a 15-feet_ square galvanized iron’ railing, with granite posts. The work is now in the hands of Une contractor and will be compled before May 1, 1887. ‘The association has purchased the acre of land from the Alsop estate, which tncludesthe spot Where the general fell, and on which the tablet will be erected.

AGASSIZ PARK, A Suburban Settlement Projected by a Syndicate of Clerks. ‘The project of forming a suburb, to be known as Agassiz Park, on the eastern side of the Eastern Branch, 1s now being pushed forward rapidly. The Park, as laid out, consists of a block of about 400 acres, picturesquely located. It 1s over a mile long and about a half amile in width, The line of Pennsylvania avenue extended crosses the south- ern borders, and Massachusetts avenue extended will extend east through the northern portion of the tract. A few yards trom where this avenue will intersect the Baltimore and Potomac allroad 14s proposed to locate the Agassiz Park station. The park has a frontage of about 100 rods on the Eastern Branch, and at the station ts 20 feet above tidewater. Froin there, in gentle undulation, it rises to over 200 feet along the Marlboro’ road. ’It embraces about fifteen pleces of land, ranging from one to one hundred acres each, tor which the lowest price paid was $100 and tle highest $600 an acre. Some owners, while declining to sell, have entered into the proposed scheme. It is an nounced that several houses will be commenced this spring as soon as the grounds are surveyed and laid out by the landscape gardener. ‘The per- sons interested in the project are, for the most art, clerks in the several sclentiile bureaus of the “The projectors think that a happler day h e projectors think that a happter day has dawned for the portion of the District which, since the destruction of the old Eastern Branch bridge, When the British soldiers sacked the city, In 1814, has been somewhat neglected, ‘The. new bridge, Ww be completed in a few months, will make the ark casily accessible. ‘Those interested are en- lusiastic over the natural advantages of scenery and altitude. It ts pro) to make Massachu- setts andPennsyivania avenues extended the prin- ¢lpal thoroughfares of the park, and, so far as the topography will permit, the subdivision will be made to conform with’ the general plan of the city. A site tor a church has been selected on the heights on the county road just beyond the limits of the park. ‘The work of clearing up the grounds has been commenced. ‘The names ior streets and avenues have not yet been decided on by the cler- ical Syndicate, but it 1s stated that such names a8 Smithson, Baird, Dana, and Argyle will be chosen. Jnana ern THE DISTRICT REPUBLICAN CON- VENTION, Gowsip Already Started and Candidates ‘Talked of The District Republican nominating convention ‘to meet next spring, to choose two delegates to represent the District at the Republican Presiden- tial convention, has cast its shadow a long way ENDICOTT AND SHERIDAN. ‘The Secretary and the Licutenant-Gen- Conflicts of authority between the Secretary of War and the Lteutenant-General are becoming of frequent occurrence. General Sheridan was op- Posed to the order limiting the term of service of Staff officers to four years, holcing that the gene- Tal officers should have the right of keeping officers with them as long as they wished. No exceptions Were made in enforcing the order, for the Sec- retary was determined to break up the custom of allowing certain oftivers to retain com- fortable berths year after year. AS a natural consequence of this determination an order was issued a couple of months ago lmiting the terms Of adjutants of regiments and regimental quarter- masters to four years also, ‘There WaS MO eX- Pressed opposition to this order. While the Secretary of War was away a short ‘Ume ago, several adjutant appointments were made by colonels, with the approval of Gen. Sherl- dan, of Heutenants serving with light batterles. These appointments did not, meet with the ap- Proval of the Secrecary, who held, hat tn justice to he officers of the fegiments, the gdjutants should be selected. from among the lleuten- ants doing actual service with their re- giments. An order was therefore issued Testricting the appointment to such officers, and the objectionable appointments were revoked. Gen. Sheridan was out West ai the time. No cor- respondence has taken place between the two offl- cials, and probably none will. It all goes to show, however, as has frequently been stated, that thé Secretary of War and the Lieatenant General do not always work well together in administering the affairs of the Army. & ‘soo ____ AN ALL-DAY PRAYER MEETING. ‘The Ladies of the W. C. T. U. Praying for the Success of the Prohibition Movement in Michigan, In response to the request of Miss Frances E.Wil- lard, the president of the National Woman's Chris- Uan Temperance Union, an all-day prayer meeting ‘Was held to-day in the lecture-room of the Metro- politan M. E. church, 43 and C streets, beginnin, at 10 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. The special object of the meeting, asset forth in the request of Miss Willard, was the success of the prohibition move- ment in Michigan, where, on the 4th of April, “the case of the home agalust the saloon” would be de- termined by the vote of the people. One of the Members of the District Union, under the auspices of which these meetings were held, stated that the contest in Michigan was a very exciting on ‘Miss Willard and a number of the prominent work- ers in the temperance cause were taking an active part in the canvass, and they looked lorward to {he success of the movement In the coming elec ion. ‘The meetings began at 10 o'clock this morning, and the special objéct for Which the meetings were held was indicated by an inscription suspended above the platform and across the folds of an American fag, which read “THE HOME OR THE SALOON.” From the reading desk was suspended a silk banner with the inscription “District of Columbia W.C.T.U. The Lord of Hosts is with us.” Upon atable wasa large cluster of pure white lilies, ‘There was a large number of ladies present. when Mrs. Dr. Newman, who was designated to conduct the services for the first haif hour, stepped in front. of the platform and said that the services would begin by singing | “There is a Fountain.” ‘The ladies joined heartily in the song, and upon its conclusion all ladies knelt and engaged in stient prayer, which was closed by their repeating to- ‘ther the Lord’s Prayer. While sl upon thelr knees the ladies sang a verse of tue hymn, “Nearer my God to Thee.” Mrs. Newman then gave a short Bible reading and expressed the hope that dur the day the central thought of the remarks ant prayers would be the success of the movement in lichigan aginst the terrible crime of the traffic in strong drink. THE YASTOR OF THR CHRISTIAN CHURCH. In carrying out the program,which was arranged so that foreach half hour the exercises would be conducted by @ different person, a number of the ministers of the city joining with the ladies, ‘Rev. Dr. Newman promptiy at halt paat ten introduced Rey. Df. Power, the pastor of the Christian Church, who spoke Of THE Importance of prayer and its great power in shaplag human affairs. He thought (hat in prayer was found the most effective ‘Weapon against the liquor trafic, the evil ot which Was so far-reaching and so fatal'to human happt- ness and progress. After he had concluded his re- marks, he that prayers be offered for the success of the movement in Michigan. Several {adios made fervent prayers asking Divine ald and assistance in the efforts being made to check the evils Of intemperance. Special petitions were of- fered for Miss Willard and the other ladies of the National Unton who were e1 in the cam- Paigm in Michigan. Reference was made to the yolime of prayers which was golng up to-day from all parts of the countzy ior this one ob- ject. At 11 o'clock Mrs. La Fetra, the president of the W. C. T. Unton of the District, and Mrs. Geo. L. Clark, the superintendent of the’ evangelistic de- paruslent, took seuts upon the platform. | Mrs. La tra invited Mrs. Clara Roach, who was in the audience, to come to the platform, and the invita~ Uon was aceepted. PRAYING FOR THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. Rev. Dr. J.A. Price then took charge of the meet- ing, and in th course of his prayer he asked God that the Commissioners of the District should have respect for their oaths and should not mock and laugh when appeals were made them in behalf of sons and daughters who were belug ruined by the liquor traffic. in his remarks he said that the people in Michi- in Would not hear their prayers, but tt was a essed thought that God would. He spoke of the importance Of fervent, united” prayer, made in faith, for in proportion to the faith and belter, With’ due regard to the will of God, answers tO prayer might be expected. He thought that it was in accordance with the will of God to pray against the liquor trafic. He did not suppose that any one thought it was wrong for them to pray for the Success of proibition In Michigan. But nO one expected the liquor-sellers to. meet and pray for the success of their business, “They could hot do it. Their tramMlc was opposed to everything that was good in men, and they coul@ not expect the blessing of God. JOSHUA'S VICTORY. Rey. Dr. H.R. Naylor took charge of the ser- Vices at half-past 11, and read the incident in the Old Testament of the victory under Joshua while the hands of Moses were held up. He thought that in the same way the victory would come to the crusaders against the power of rum. They might be weak and unknown, but they had the power and strength that comes from falth in God and prayer. He believed that ube prayers would be answered, and that there would be a grand vic tory in Michigan, Rev. Dr. Shippen led in prayer upon the conclusion of Dr. Naylor's remarks, ‘The other leaders of the meeting during the day Were Mrs. M. E. Cohen, Mrs. R. B. Catten, Rev. Dr. J, McK. Reiley, Rev. S.
