_——— THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON el. However it may be effected; but unjust prejudice often prevents peopte from trying ‘proprietary medi- cine, unti! other remedies prove unavailing. J. HL Ritchie, commission agent, Kingston, Aus- tralia, writes: “For years s confirmed sceptic as tothe merits of Proprietary medicines, I was st last converted by the Use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. For mohthss bottle of this medicine, of which I had come into possession through the kindness of s friend, remained unopened im my closet, till one night I was seized with violent told accompanied by @ racking cough. Maving none of my wauat remedies at hand, I thought of the Cherry Pectoral, and determined to give it atrial The result ‘was truly magical. Relief came almost instantly, and after repeating the dose, certainly not more than half dozen times, I found myself shoroughly cured. Sub- sequently my daughter was cured of a severe cough by the use of the Cherry Pectoral. I recommend this preparation to all sufferers from throat and lung troublea” For Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma snd Consumption the best remedy is AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL, Prepared by Dr. J.C.

Special Dispatch to Tax EvEexrxe Stan. Cuantorte, N.C., July 23,—The primary elec- tions that were held over the sixth district gres S. B. Alexander had a complete walkover. Rowland, tho present incumbent, sent a letter of withdrawal, but it reached here too late to save him from being badly beaten. Alexander is a big Alliance man--was spoken of by ®good many at the expiration of Ran- som’s last term for the United States Senate, but did not allow his name to be placed before the caucus. J. J. Vann of Union county and W. A. Hoke of Lincoln were the two candidates for judgeship. Vann is also an alliance is a great power, and a candidate that has not the support of this orgauization is cer- tainly doomed to defeat. OPPOSITION TO MR. VANCE.

Tue U.S8. Axtiance arrived at Amboy, China, today, delphia Will be Sent Back. Purmapetrmia, July 23.—The thirty-two Arabs who arrived in this city on board the steamship Pennsylvania from Liverpool will have to return. Collector of the Port Cooper this morning decided that they come under the provisions of the contract labor act and that they will have to go back on the first steamer. They were detained by United States Immigrant Inspector Stratton, who be- came suspicious when the tickets were found in the possession of Ounas Abdemn, ono of the passengers, who has a store at No. 57 Washing- ton street, New York. On being questioned Abdemn admitted that he was bringing the party to this country to peddle oriental antiq- uities, and subsequently made the following affidavit: I was al d when I received a tele- gram stating that our firm in New York city wanted me to bring as many men as Icould for the purpose of selling their goods, consisting of rugs, carpets, antiquities and other foreign goods. I went to Beirut. Damas- eus, Jerusalem and Cyprus and gathered thirty-two persons upon agreement that the advance for each individual should be seven napoleons or about €25 for their passago to America, which money they have to pay back ont of the commissions on the sale of the goods.” Commissioner Stratton subsequently made his report to tha collector, which said: “It is my opinion that this is a gross violation of the contract labor act, and would recommend that Abdemn be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the jaw.” This suggestion will be carried out, and the matter is to be called to the attention of the United States district attorney, who will insti- tute a prosecution, The Aravs will probably not start before next week and in the mean- time they will be under the care of the sur- veyor of the port, — Archbishops Assembled.

New York, July 23.—The restriction of the trading in the stock market to a few stocks was most marked this morning ang a large number of the usually active shares were not traded in atall. The leaders, however, were still sugar refineries, Lackawanna, citizen’s gas, Atchison and Rock Island, and probably seven-cighths of the business done was confined to those stocks. The openiug was firm, but everything except suzar refineries and citizen's gas was stagnant during the hour, Sugur was active nnd strong, and opening unchansed at 743/ it rose to 76%.

A THRILLING NIGHT ALARM. The Presidents Visit Today—Advent> ures of the Guardsmen—Recreations of Camp—The Dress Parade Much Ad- mired—The Day’s Doings, ———_— VERY ONE usually considers break- fast as a very welcome meal where- =, ever they may happen to be, and at Camp Washington this morning the soldicr boys had a more than usually good ontfit. It is con- siderable of a task to drill and get in order the number of raw waiters and cooks needed to supply the appetites of Gen. Onflway’s com- mand, Getting really worked in to the run of the thing was there- fore with however much prelimin- ary arrangements, a matter of some little time. This morning, however, the wheels seemed to have been greased sufficiently and moved with a lack of friction that was really remarkable. ‘There seemed to be an improvement all along the line. ‘The beef- steak, which was served as the stand-by of the meai, was tender and cooked in first rate style. ‘The coffee also, which hitherto had showed the poorest average in the race to- ward perfection, showed a marked and, no doubt to the boys, decidedly weleome im- provement, The mess tables during a meal are a very lively place, waiters are flying in every direction, tin cups clattering, men shouting and files of ‘G, men marching in and out. LSS DRILLING BEFORE BREAKFAST. Before breakfast this morning the cavalry had their usual bareback drill, which Capt. Barbour calls the troops’ morning tome, All the troops at the camp really go through a before-breakfast drill withont arms, and it 1s rumored that the commissary department have applied to Gen. Ordway to have this drill ex- cused, as its continuation, it is feared, would bring on « famine in camp. CLEANING UP, In view of the big crowd expected down by the afternoon and evening boats some especial pains were taken this morning to clean up the tents and equipments thoroughly. Everything had been so clean before that it is rather a difficult task to find any point where improve- ment was needed. SKIRMISH DRILLS. Skirmish drills have been going on all the morning, and the cavalry went through a skirmish drill with blank cartridges. In a cavalry skirmish drill the men are dis- mounted, and, leaving a detail to watch the horses, advance and let her go at the imaginary enemy biding in the bushes which line their parade grounds, Many of the horses are not aware of the sense or beauty of @ carbine shot. In fact they have decided ovjections to staying anywhere in the neigh- borhood, and today when the rattling volleys were fired the way a number of those horses filed themselves together was a caution. The animals were soon quited, however, and will soon become used to the firing, During this drill the ambulance wagon stood conveniently near. while a detail from the corps hungrily watched the mounted men, asif sizing up which one would be their victim and just what bones would be broken. RIFLE PRACTICE, Rifle practice has been going on all the morn- ing in the third and fourth battalions of the first regiment trying their hands at tho targets. Some good scores have been made today and tlso som? mighty poor ones. Buils eyes were made when least expected aud the target was cleanly missed when a centes shot was looked for. Taking it all in all itis thought that the shooting is satisfactory. READY TO SEIZE ILLICIT DEALERA There was another anti-whisky expedition this morning. Gen, Ordway is determined to break up the illicit traffic in such vile stuff as the law-breakers were selling, Capt. Aldrich, one of the general’s aides, was in- structed to proceed in 7 the matter. and it did not take the captain ie long to get in his work, He called upon Lieut. Geo. H. Harries and secured his co-opera— tion, Then Privates Cross and J, T. Rob- CAPT, ALDRICH. erts wero detailed from guard duty and put at the captain's disposal, They took u rowboat and, with a robust colored man es the motive power, went for the rotten craft, then an- chored near the reservation opposite River View. Every boat was searched and in all of them there was ample testimony of guilt, Then each proprietor was warned that he would be immediately arrested if he put foot ashore, Some of the rum sellers were very impudent and one of them, when a couple of hundred yards away, sighted an_ electroplated popgun over his left arm in the direction of vapt. Aldrich’s boat, He didn't scare anybody, for the captain's force could have cleared the river peat teaecbe yards in any direction, There will be no playing with the liquor retailers in this matter—the health of the men and the dis- cipline of the camp are too deeply involved, MAINTAINING GOOD DISCIPLINE. It may be said also in this connection that Gen. Ordway is determined to enforée good discipline while the brigade isincamp. This does not mean that the discipline has been lax at all hitherto, because it has not, and for the nutnber of men collected together who natu- rally expect to mix a good deal of fun with their military work the order kept has been quite remarkabie. There have been cases, however, where men have mixed a good deal of insubor- dination with their fn,and it must be said that on account of disgraceful actions in camp two members of the militia have been dishonorably dismissed from the service, their buttons cut off and the men ordered out of camp. A cer- tain amount of discipline is necessary, not only for the welfare of the militia, but for the com- munity, and Gen. Ordway is earnest about en- foreing it. MARCHING TO DINNER. By 12 o'clock in the day there were a consid- erable number of visitors in camp and when the boys marched down to dinner with Pha! tin eu jingling, hey were reviewed @con- same pc Pei of strangers, "Dinner off in good style today as usual. ‘THE HOSPITAL.

Barbour of the cavalry a he should cail on him for a detail for thi be necessary for this guard to seize some of the illicit whisky sellers and their wares the duty might involve considerable danger, and ph aes Barbour thought it best to call for vol- unteers, At the afternoon cavalry drill, there- fore, he informed his compuny that he wished volunteers for service which possibly might prove dangerous. This was like flying red flag in a bull's face and the entire troop, with the exception of three men, rode forward just aching to volunteer. The captain had to select the detail after all, which consisted of Sergeants Pillsbury and Sheppard, Corporal Lilhey and Privates McEthone and Moser. The orders at first were to look out for liquor and acize any brought to shore and to allow no soldier to push off without a flask. Later, just purpose. As it possibly would 4 RECREATIONS IN CAMP. Nota few of the amused themselves by playing cards in « comparatively quiet and harmless manner, andso far no one seems to have lost any considerable amount of money.

The order, therefore, entailed a considerable additional row and walk on the returning merry-makers, aud they did not seem to appreciate it. In fact it is reported that some of them really got mad and indulged in words seldom heard in « parior, and in fact it is said that Sergeant Pillsbury became 80 shocked at somo of the language used that he said “darn” himself three times in succession and threat- ened to smoke a strong cigar when he got back in camp. He was naturally reprimanded by ae Barbour, who was in command of the de- tail, The order from Gen. Ordway being per- emptory no boats landed at their usual stopping pojnt and the many disappointed and dispirited guardsmen were obliged to pull up to the fort, where their passes entitled them to ac- mission, Patrolling a beach where it was nec- essary to wade at times almost up to the horses belly is described by the cavalry guard as be ing fer from funny. Wet boots are hos pleasant atany time, but where the consciousness is added that you are making fellow guardsmen exert themselves ina mauner they are far from used to, the result is no doubt much worse, The guard on the river remained until 11:30, when the post was left vacant. The guard on the shore, it is undcratood, will be kept up during and in one place especially the conyprsation was so loud and the candles were so” burned that the general had to call the attention of the guard on duty in that vicinity to the fact that “taps” had been blown, THE DRESS PARADE, The dress parade last night wasa thorough success in every particular, and a number of old soldiers who witnessed it say that it could not be beaten by any brigade of the regular army. Every movement was executed as romptly as the most critical could desire. Every man was as neat asthe proverbial new pin. A large crowd of visitors witnessed the maneuvers and in a general way their remarks were highly eulogistic. Especially pleased were they with the innovation suggested by Col. Long. It was mentioned in yesterday's Stan. It consists in bringing to the front and center the colors and color guards of the vari- ous regiments and battalions aud then having the entire command march past and salute the colors instead of salui the general in com- mand. It was one of the prettiest effects ever seen on any parade ground. Col. Long bronght it with him from the weet, where it was tem- seeped in practice atone of th ts where je was stationed, The movements in it, how- the week and ail boats will be compelled to land at the wharf. ‘TROOP A'S CAMP, While a portion of the cavalry troop were do- ing guard duty on the river a little excitement broke out in this camp by an incipient fire starting near’ the straw in the rear of the stables, The fire was seen immediately by the guard and was out ina moment. Everything is as dry as timder around the entire camp and a fire around the artillery or cavalry camp would be, on account of the straw and hay, rather a serious mutter. The cavalry boys think also that it is a curious fact that two fires on two successive nights should start at about the same place, just outside the guard line and near the straw rick. Also there are appearances that a train of hay stretched from the starting of last night's fire clear up to the stack, It ig hard to suppose that there is any one. in camp mean enough to try to burn any property. but the cavalry have taken every precaution and the line near the stabies and hay will be strongly guarded in the future, and a light has also been placed so that the guard can see clear down into the woods. Any prowler around that portion of the cavalry lines is liable to get into some pretty considerable trouble. A NOCTURNAL DISTUBBANCE. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! It was late last night when five sharp reports rang out from the neighborhood of the artillery camp. This in camp ought to mean a big fire or some very serious. danger. In a mo-| ment everything was excitement — in| the neighborhood, The cavalry troop turned | out tom man with every variety of dishabille. The troop guard was turned out in a second, } Officers ca chasing from every direction. i who had been makin; rounds of the sentries, arrived at the artillery camp in a breathless condition. It was soon found that there was really nothing the matter to cause any alarm, One of the artil- lery sergeants had merely given way to the excitement of the moment and had fired five | shots from his revolver, Tho trouble was caused by = number of the artillery company who were out of their camp on passes, They were accompanied by a couple of civilians and the sergeant of the guard for the night thinks they were insulting to him in their language. He ordered them in and wher they started to run he gave way to his feelin, and fired his revolver. One of the civil- jams was arrested, but having a pass from Gen. Ordway he was re- leased. Cadet Hines examined _ into the affair and thought the blame lay with one or two members of the artillery whom he had met several times during his night's rounds, Tho sergeant, ho said, should not have had cartridges in his revolver, as none been issued to him and he, of course, had made a breach of disci- line, This matter, however, he left to Capt. ‘ates of the artillery. As to the men out pn | 4, he thought the passes should eo called in at once, Capt. Yates “naturally feels sore. about ~ the 2, but considers that in view of the fire at the cavalry camp and the amonnt of flammable material around, the guard should have power to enforce his orders, ‘The matter will probably be dropped. CORPORAL VILENHEIMER’S CAPTURE. One of the other sentry lines in camp had a little difficulty to contend with. Corporal Vilenheimer of company D, fourth battalion, was the corpor: of his yuard = last night and on one of his rounds he saw a big body loom up in front of him. With his usual promptness and bravery the corporal challenged the object. Receiving fo answer he went forward and found that he was the proud guard to rake in the first stray mule in camp thiv year. ‘Taking the mule by he wae’ challenged by the seutry: “Wis goes was challe: y seutry: “Who there? Halt!” The corporal replied in dulcet tones: “Cor- Poral of the guard bringing in a muie.” The stern answer came floating back, “Let one of them advance.” ever, are not strictly tactical, so it was never gencrally adopted by the army and, in fact, it was only used at the post in question for a lit- tle while. When the next tactical board of the regular army meets the probabilitics are that this extremely beautiful and impressive cere- mony will be formally and officially adopted aud placed with others of its kind in the book of tactics. After the colors had gone to the front the brigade moved to the right, whecled in ver ad front and marched past the assem- bled flaga. And the band played “Annie Rooney.” That is, it played it until it got to the colors and then, conscience stricken, it changed the air to something more suitable and probubly more patriotic. The still far from level; in fact, it has a good many eccentricities in its surface, but the men marched all over it last night like veterans, THE RACE OF THE ADJUTANTS. ‘That pernicious and widespread habit of bet- ting money on games of chance will be the ruin of somebody in camp yet. Yesterday evening some enterprising visitors sold pools on the adjutants. In order that the general public may understand what this means it may be well to explain that at a certain period he dress parade the command is given ““Adjutants to the front and center. Doubie time, march.” The adjutants then start from their respective posi- tions for the center of the brigade line and then march forward to within a reasonable and tac- tical distance of the general. They do it ata double time because they have a jong distance to cover and it would consume too many min- utes to have them walk. In spite of the mili- tary surroundings. however, the thing looked somewhat like a foot race and yesterday even- ing when the adjutants started out bets were treely offered as to who would reach the center first. Ofcourse the adjutant of the second regiment was not taken into consideration tor he had but little more to do but just to leave his place and go forward. With the others it was different, From the extreme right Adju- tant Barksdale had to run probably a quarter of a mile, while the distance from the extreme left was no less, ‘Lhis was the exciting pert of the air, Adjutant Barksdale came along in fine style and as he passed the first battalion there was strong hope of his proving to be at lew second ix: the gontest. Lut it soon became dent that these hopes would not be fulfilled, so anumber of persons bet on him for place. He was, however, distanced, two dark borses, so to speak, from the extreme left getting in ahead of him, much to the disgust of those who had put their money on the first regiment, Adjutany Barksdale is now taking lessons in sprinting from Staff Oficer Eugene Cour- vaizier. Sergeant Courvaizier has a record, so Sergeant Neumeyer says, of 100 yards in 103¢ seconds, It was noticed that more than one adjutant came to the front and returned to his post with his sword at a carry instead of at a guard. The five-hundred yards dash will be repeated today for the benefit of the President and the invited guests, SERGEANT JOYCE'S ADVICE. Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Joyce, who is in charge of the post, was in the tent of one of the officers of the first regiment engaged in sampling something that was labeled “Microbe Killer.” The officer was talking. “I don’t have any rugs or fancy fittings about my tent,” eaid he to Joyce, “I like the look of this; it is more soldierly.” Joyce assented to this and then the officer went on: I could get along first-class if you would only leave me that rubber blanket (pointing to it) and that demijohn.” Joyce's eyes twinkle d and there was a depth of earnestness in his voice as he said: “Yes, captain, and if you ever get ina tight place hang on to the deimijohn.” A DANCE IN CauP. There was a dance in camp last night. The band was stationed on its platform in front of hexdquarters building and it was playing waltz music. The sweetstrains were too much for some of those present and in a few minutes Lieut. Col. Walton of the first reg: t, with his wife, Lieut, Hopkius and Miss ina Par- menter had cleared the adjutant general's of- fice of its furniture and for nearly an hour they danced there while the band continued some of Strauss’ selections.
