CITY AND_DISTRICT. $2" No city in the world is so thoroughly covered by the circulation of a single news- paper as is the city of Washington by that of ‘Tux Evexixo Stan, It reaches all readers in the city and vicinity. It swears to its circula- tion, No other Washington paper has yet done this. £HE NATIONAL GUARD. Gen. Ordway’s Circular Relating to the Encampment. REGULATY THAT WILL BE CARRIED OUT—THE CHARACTER OF INSTRUCTION TO BE GIVEN—THE RIFLE PRACTICE AT THE EARRACKS—AN ORDER FROM INSPECTOR POLLARD. There have been a great many contributions ‘to the ure of the District National Guard, but none more interesting than the following cireular, which has just been issued from head- quarters and from which brief extracts were given in Saturday's Star. It deals with mat- ters that are of current interest to every man in the brigade and should be read carefully. Regulations as to who shall be permitted to go into camp, suggestions as to preparatory drill, intimations as to “rapid assembly,” which will be called for next month (as in case of a riot), criticisms as to carelessness in the instruction of recruits and a reprimand for file-closers and guides are worthy of more than a passing glance. The circular, which is numbered 2, is as follows: ‘The annual encampment will be held from July 21 to July 25, The time in camp will be wholly devoted to instruction that cannot be given in the armories or streets, such as guard duty, skirmish drill, school of battation, evolu- tions of a regiment. and possibly of a brigade. ualified membe' of matter by notifying respective commands the home club, 7 to 5.

A great many men seem to be anxious to have a chance at the targets on the range, and there will be lots of sharp com- petition before the team for Creedmoor is made | up. There are but twelve laces on the team, | with three extras forresery? men, Maj. Pol- | lard says the selection will be entirely om merit, | ‘fhe amount of promising material in the guard here is very large, and some of the more en- | thusiastic already see themselves returning in | triumph from the New York range, bearing | with them the interstate and Hilton trophies, to say nothing of numerous individual badges and cups. These great prizes may be eom- peted for by teams of twelve from states and territories or from divisions of the regular army. Regular competitors at Creedmoor are the engineer corps and Massachusetts teams, | and it is of interest to remember that Maj. Pol- | lard, who will have charge of the local marks- | men, once coached the Massachusetts team | when it defeated the engineers. . Sea Girt is rir ng Creedmoor to a consider- able extent, and Gen. Ordway thinks some of [ the home talent should capture at least two or three of the handsome prizes which are annu- ally put up by Jersey everal informal challenges have been re- ceived from outside commands of the National Guard, but none of them will be accepted until | there has been a little range practice. PRIZES GALORE. There is quite a glittering array of promis- sory prizes dazzling the optics of ambitious ritlemen. Each company has a badge in view; each battalion proposes to offer some induce- ments to its best shots, each regiment will have a big trophy and there will be a number of | medals given by individuals, ‘Tite Evextno Stax badge is regarded as one of the most desirable and there will be lots of competition for it. There may not be many crack shots here now, but they will be plenti- ful before the brigade begins shooting “for In this view it would be a useless expense to take into camp men who have not been thoroughly instructed in the school of the soltier and the school of the company, and therefore commanding officers of companies will be protubited from allowing any man to go to camp who 1s not enlisted before June 1, or, if enlisted after that date, shall be a thoroughly drilled soldier at the time of eulistment. It will be equally useless to take into camp Men whose terms of service will expire during camp, or om thereafter, unless such men intend to pain in the National Guard, Com- manding officers of companies will. therefore, be prohibited from allowing any man to go into camp whose term of service expires before August 1, 1590, unless such man shall, before going, declare his intention to re-enlist on the expiration of hie existing enlistment. F Commanding ofticers of companies who issue clothing. arms and equipments to any man not regularly enlisted into the National Guard and permit him to go into camp will subject them- Selves to trial by court-martial. THE RIGHT KIND OF PRELIMINARY WORK. “Prior to the nent every company commander should practice his company in the ceremony of guard mounting and thoroughly instruct his men in the duties of sentinels. All rs should carefully nd prepare themselves to instruct their commands practi- cally in skirmish drill. encan A ritle range will be constructed on the camp ground, and reg stice will be or- dered in fu! a for rifle prac- tiee ‘or the to this time the inspectors acted as instructors rather ent time has elapsed stituted for off ‘3 to » be instructors, and, therefore, be rmitted to shoot on the n thoroughly instructed sition and aiming drill. As jon would lower the tigure of merit pany for the year it is expected th: Otticers will devote themselves to giving their en the necessary preliminary instruction to qualify them to shoot the prescribed scores on this range.

A stimulus will be | given to practice games by the announcement | of the District tournament, which will be held on the 2istof May. Tue date was arranged so as to allow a sufficient interval before the Southern Association tournament, which will | be held in Baltimore early in June. Players of | experience recognize the importance of tour- naments in perfecting the style of playing. and it is hoped that the cntries for the Dis- | trict tournament will be fully representative of the players of the District. Asa further in- ducement handsome prizes will be offered and tothe winner of the first prize in the | singles the Granbury plaqne will be | awarded without a special contest. This is | due to the fact that Mr, Osear Menocal, who now holds this championship trophy of singles rict, is aw: Under the rules gov- erning the holding of this trophy the winner is obliged to play the winner of the singles in the Districttournament. ‘The prize this year will go to the winner of the singles by default, The Granbury plaque was | wou year before inst by Mr. Pope and last year | by Mr. Menocal, PRIZES FOR FAIR PLAYERS. There will also be prizes offered for ladies, both in singles aud in doubles, and itis the | desire t! alarge namber of ladies should | enter their names and take part in the contest. The ladies have not taken the active interest in tennis which it was expected they would when the game became thoroughly established here They show their interest in the game by join- ing clubs and playing in an amateurish fashion and also by their presence at tourna- ments, But they have never taken hold of the game in earnest. There are a number ot ladies who would gnake pital players if articles necessary to completely arm and equip their respective commands for field service, fncluding in such requisitions manuals of guard duty for each enlisted man and whistle signals for skirmish drill for each commis- sioned officer and sergeant.” “GET THERE IN A HURRY “During the month of June the brigade will be exercised in rapid assembly by being called out for duty by verbal orders and by a pro- scribed sigual on the fire alarm bells, In prep- aration for this commanding officers should Bee that the regulations prescribed by general orders No. 9. series of 1887, are immediately Carried into effect. SOME ARE GOOD, SOME ARE BAD. “Very satisfactory progress has been made in the command, but there are faults existing that require earnest and prompt attention on the part of commanding officers. The per- Sonnelof the guard has greatly changed dur- ing the past year, and the namber nas been very largely increased, It is apparent, how- ever, that neither sutticient time nor attention has been given by company commanders to the instruction of recruits. Men are evidently allowed to drill in the school of the company before they have become proficient in the se ting-up drill and foot movements and while almost entirely ignorant of the school of the soldier, Company commanders should realiz that the standing of their companies mainly depends on the care and time given to the in- struction of recruits. Another very serious fault requiring correction 1s the apparent ig- norance of sergeants respecting their duties guides and file closers, File closers ARE NOT ORNAMENTAL APPENDAGES, but are charged with important dutie on Which the discipline and military appearance of the company largely depends, They should be particular to keep their own alignment dress accurately and preserve their proper di tance. It is their duty to rectify mistakes and to insure steadiness and promptness. Silence in the ranks should be preserved at all times on duty, and unnecessary raising of hands or Gazing about not permitted. Instruction im- parted cannot be promptly received if men are Inattentive. It is the duty of file closers to Promptly report such cases to their company commanders, Careful attention to these essen- tial points will greatiy add to the e aud appearance of the entire brig: INSPECTION, Those officers aud eulsted men of the national guard who think the inspection which is to take place this month will be a mere formal affair had better disabuse themselves of that idea as rapidly and as thoroughly as possi- Ble. A good deal of attention will be paid to arms and accoutrements, but full much time will be spent in a thorough inspection of clothing. To the most casual observer it is evident that mutual exchanges of garments, éven within the narrow limits of a company. would conduce to # better appearance.

The managers of the Ditrict tour- nament are determined to offer in- dueements to ladies to become expert players, and it is their earnest desire that as Many as possible avail themselves of this opportunity. | THE BACHELOR CLUB's GROUNDS. The grounds of the Bachelor Club, where the District tournament is to be held, are cen- trally located and well adapted for such a purpose. There are five ellent courts and plenty of room for spectators, Every afternoon when the weather is favorable the courts of the club are, occupied by players, A number of well- contested games have already been played. Messrs. MeCawley and Woodward and Messrs, Davidson and Borden have played a series of games which have excited a good deal of inter- est. The former have thus tar won a majority of the games. IMPROVEMENT IN PLAY. In watching the different players it is grati- | fying to note evidences of improvement in the style of playing as compared with last This is true both of the men who were regarded as strong players last year us well as of those who have just begun to win their spurs. As one of the wding players remarked the other day toa Stak man, “Lt takes exp nd thought to be a good playe: He went on to man must strive not only to improv in his own play, but he must perceive t points in the play of his adversary and | how to profit from them. The best pla: he said, adapted their style of pla soas tomake it strong when the opponent's game was weak. Some men play a strong game tennis explain v at the net, others from the back of the court, some handled lobed balls with’ ease, others were placed ata disadvantage by such strokes, The same principle, he said, runs through the entire game, and a succes tes closely the playing of his opponent. THE SLoceM CLUB. | The Slocum Tennis Club has entered upon its second season in a very prosperous condi- tion. The courts, which are well situated on 16th street near T, have recently been resur- taced and inclosed by # wire fence. There are number of excellent players connected with | this club who have by d improved their playing very mutertll otticers of the club are: W. H. Wahly residen Rh Conner, vice president: E. A. Pittis, se and C. A. Appel. treasurer. Among th bers are Messrs. Cathn, Hinman, King MeNew. Shelton and Starkweather. The club colors are black and white. THE PROSPECT CLUB, The Prospect Tennis Club, whose fine courts are situated on Fayette street in Georgetown, have reorganized for the coming season and have resumed play. Though this is one of the | youngest clubs in the District. yet its members | have attained a proficiency in the handling of | the racquet that will rival even the senior , vs. Among the members whose names are enrolled are the toilowiug ladies and gentle- | men: Misses Kensin Palizzi, Cox, Graves. | funk and Lowe; Messrs.

McCalla was the last wit- ness for the defense betore the court-martial Saturday, He was first questioned concerning kill Seaman’s Apprentice Louis Meyer at Mozambique. “Meyer was reported to me,” said Capt. Me la, “because he had refused to go intoa coal bunker to help shovel ont the coal after the fire, and for his disrespectful language to the officer at the time. I began to tell Meyer that he had committed a serious offense, when he began to smile at me. I told him not to be disrespectful to me, and I told him he lied when he denied it, Then he began to smile ut a group of sailors who stood by. ‘Then I sent | for my sword and ssid to the man: Damn you, I'll kill you and make an exam- ple of you.’ his was said.” continued the captain, calmly, “not because I intended to kill him, but for the benefit of the men who were stand~ ing by. “Concerning the articles of war, I never heard them ali read. I know of no purpose on ding the rules once a month, Isimpiy forgot it. Coming to the Walker incident next, Capt McCalla said that he noticed a spirit of discon- tent and unwillingness to obey orders quickly for some time before the vessel arrived at Christiana, ‘ow, state all that occur of July 10, 1888,” said Mr, Menzies to his client. “Thad been away all that day from the ship on a visit, and in the early evening { brought aboard the American consul at the port. with @ party of friends. to inspect the Enterprise. ‘They were all out of the ship by 10 o'clock, and soon after I turned in. Shortly after 11 o'clock I was awakened by hearing the noise of shout- ing. I went to the door of my cabin in my p jamas and ordered the noise to be stopped d_on the evening As it still continued I went on deck and found Walker in irons in the hands of the master-at- arms, near the smoke stack. I stepped up to Walker and said quietly. ‘Stop this noise.’ He wanted to explain, but I told him it wasn’t the time. A number of the sailors stood near aud lordered them to turn into their hammocks, They did so reluctantly, and then Walker be- gan his cursing and swearing. No Yankeo—— ——can make me stop,’yelled Walker. ‘I have never reconstructed. aid 'm arebel at heart. My brother fell on the right side, and I am all for the south.” HEROIC TREATMENT. “Then I returned to the room for my sword, as [was impressed by the actions of the men, and felt that some extraordinary action waa necessary. Walker didu’t stop his shouting, and I ordered him gagged with a bayon ‘This had no effect upon him, azd then I ord a bucket of water to be brought. I threw it over him myself, as I wanted to take the entire responsibility. He kept saying: ‘Do it again, you - 11 told him in the same voice \that I am using now that I would cut him down, He cried out that I hadn't the courage ‘Then I struck him a wrist blow re- luctantly, I had no resentment against Walker, but [felt it was necessary, not so much on ac- count of Walker himself, but for its effect on the men forward who were watching. Walker was partially stunned, and it was my purpose to stun him. J ordered the master-at-arms to put dry clothes ou him, and he became pro- fane again. But the rest of the crew were all below now, and I thought nothing more was ary than to have 4 wooden gag put into his mouth, One was made at my orders and taken out afew hours later when he promised to be auie Capt. Me alla said he w impressed at one forward would attempt to make a forced rescue of Walker and he feit that » occasion was one beyond the control of the officer of the deck and that the commander's presence was necessary. “I had no teeling against Walker when I struck him, but I wanted to subdue him and show the crew that a man could not success- fully defy me. I thought it ail over in the few uly thing I could do, I knew the use of the gag was going beyond the regulations, but I thought that ex- traordiuary means were absolutely necessary. Walker was in a straightjacket for a number of nights after he left the sick bay, but it was for the purpose of keeping liquor from him aud to protecthim trom himself, If these unusual means had not been taken it might have meant the loss of life later,” “Did you govern the ship in accordance with the regulations: ked Mr. Menzies, eI did,” eaid the captain, though I resorted to extraordinary mi t Christiana, and I did fail to read the articles of war once a month.” “I want to state,” said the witness, in con- clading, “that it was my fault that no entry was made inthe log of the Walker affair. ‘I should have had the whole incident carefully recorded in detail in the log. and the careless oniission of the full circumstances has reacted on me since,” While he was testifying Capt. MeCalla sat with folded arms and rarely raised his eyes from the table before hi ‘Lhe twelve officers of the court watched the captain narrowly, and none of them missed « singie word of his testi- mony. vee To Revive the Panama Canal Scheme.
