Assistant Secyetary Soley Shows Why the State Should Have # Coast Guard. Bartione. June 19.—The answer of Gov. Jackson to Hon. John Russell Soley, assistant secretary of the navy, with regard to naval militia in Maryland has started an interest in the subject in Baltimore. “It is very desir- able that Maryland should have a naval militia,” said Assistant Secretary Soley. “Your state has a seacoast and nlso the great Chesapeake bay. ‘The main object of a naval militia isto have a trained body of men for coast defense. You have splendid material for such an organization in the thousands of men who man your bay and river craft. Being sailors they are just the clues of men the navy desires to have trained in the drills of the naval brigades. “New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Istand and California are the only states, so far as we know, which have laws fostering 8 naval militi Those states have taken great interest in the In view of the importance which these states attach to the project Secretary Tracy has determined to render them whut aid is in his power. “He has ordered the squadron of evolution to Boston early in July, where about ten days will be devoted to fleet exercises. The naval militia will co-operate with the squadron and will be given facilities for gun drill with modern guns; also be instructed in the routine duties of a war ship. When the work is concluded at Boston the squadron will then go to New York, where the naval militia of that state willbe’ given a similar practical struction. If Maryland hada naval militia the same favor would be shown that state. The Chesapeake bay is weli adapted fur such exorcises. ‘The Secretary of the Navy is now taking steps to ascertain what states have organix naval militia by writing to the governors of the states. It was with this object in view that the inquiry was made of Gov. Jackson. We have not considered the state fishery force a ‘the last Congress appropriated ,000 for the purpose of aiding naval militin by supplying arms. This amount is to be bursed under the regulations proscribed by the Secretary of the Navy and it will be avail- able atter Juily 1. “To make « naval militia useful and capable of being an influential co-operating force to the navy in time of war,tbe drills should be practi- cul ‘and frequent in the school of the naval brigade. ‘Thisembraces in its scope light artil- y, infantry and boat drills, The instruc- tions should take place weekly, as is done in Boston and New York. ‘Then it is important that the men should know how to use gunsat sca. ‘The exercises neces- sary to familiarize men with the requirements of a man-of-war's man would make an efficie! coast defender. The defense of a country’s coast in time of war is the most important problem in the art of modern warfare.” Assistant Secretary Soley thought the Naval Academy at Annapolis ought to have a stimu- lating influence ona naval militia for this state. —_. CONGRESS OF HOMEOPATHISTS. Papers Read at This Morning’s Session at Atlantic City. Arzastic Crrx, N. J., June 19.—The morning session of the international congress of homeo- pathic physicans convened at 10 o'clock this morning. A number of additional delegates arrived in town last night and there are now fully six hundred physicians here. An address by I. T. Taibott, M.D., of Bos- president of the congress, ‘having for his subject “Ihe Duties aud Responsibilities of Homeoyathic Colleges as Leaders in Medical Progress,” was the first business of the morn- ing. Dr. Talbott was very eloquent and dem- that with colleges Iny the enture re- of the homeopathic of the future. His address was well received. ‘The remainder of the session was spent in the reading of papers and discussion on the sub- ject gynaecology. The first was written by Dr. R. Ludlam of Chicago on “The Proper Limita- tion of Gynoecological Surgery,” 1ollowed by “The Aid to Gyneacology, ical or Surgi- cal,” by Dr, L. A. Phillips of Boston, - The next was entitled “The Scopes of Homeo- pathic Therapeutics in Gynaecological Prac- tice,” by Dr. B. Frank Betts of Philadelphia, followed by Dr. H. 1. Astrom of New York on “Damaged ‘ieterine Appendage and Their Re- moval.” Dr. J. M. Lee of Rochester read a paper with the subject “Forty-seven Laporotomies in Two Weeks, ‘and the last paper of the morning was “Gynaecological Surgery,” by Dr. Chester G. Higbee of 5 , Alinn. The congress will hold a session this afternoon. Pasi Os ANOTHER CAVALRY COMPANY, Troop, of the Fighth Cavalry Ordered to Fort Myer. Washington is to have another cavalry troop of the army stationed here asa return for the gallant part the trvop took in the recent In- dian dificulties. Troop H of the eighth cav- alry, now at Fort Keogh, has been ordered to leave that station by the 30th of June and to proceed directly to Fort Myer. This will make the third troop of cavalry stationed here. The intention is to have four at Fort Myer eventually and the probability ia that the remainingsnomination will be made some time within the year. Troop H will be obliged to camp out most of tho summer, owing to the fact that the build- ings necessary for their accommodation have not yet been completed. ‘This paucity of accommodations here is the sub- ject of considerable talk among army people, who are of the opinion that seven com altogether is a ridiculonsl small detachment to have stationed in the vi- cinity of the nation’s capital, and it is not at all improbable that the result will be the plac- ing of a much largor number of men at the barracks and at Fort Myer. j AT CAPE MAY POINT. ‘The President’s Summer House and Its Present Surroundings.
