Some of the officers h not done enough for their commands, while others have not only done too much themselves, but have also demanded more from their men than was reasonable or proper. Those who are in the first mentioned class are worse than use- | less; those who compose the second are really | dangerous to the peace and welfare of the com- mand; they cannot leave well enough alone. All the available time should be devoted to making practical soldiers out of those who have any aptitude for military labor; to push them toward marvelous precision of movement is to waste valuable hours and needed energy. On this linea few words from such « cistin- guished veteran as Col. Emmons Clark, who for #o long commanded the New York seventh, Said that thorvugh may be worth reading. soldier: ¢ is no royal rond to fame and fortune for @ regiment in the National Guard, und whatever is accomplished must be by intelli- gent, patient and continuous Iabor. In this the officer must iead and inspire his men to follow and participate. Experience has de- termined the average amount of time young mtn can and will devote to military duty; to exact more is worse than useless, and, although the highest honors are won by those who serve the most iorally and devotedly, the faithful performance of the military duty required by [nw chould aiwaya bo kindly and’ consideratcly recognized. ‘To attempt too much in the N: tional Guard isa fatal mistake. All that can possibly be accomplished is a fair proficiency In the schools of the soldier, the comp: the battalion und in rifle practice, and the ob- servant and experienced National Guardsman smiles at the attempts of novices to master in a the whole art of war, while are deficient in that which is sery, important and valuable to the citizen solder. War with a foreign nation isimprobable, almost impossible, and there would be time for preparation, but of local disorder there is often apprehension, and the instruction of the citizen soldier should be di- rected to the elementary drill and discipline which will insure his obedience to orders and enable him to stand steadfastly in the reuks | and use his weapon effectively in the defense of law and order and in the protection of life and property. Competitive drills are to be avoided for many reasons and are generally fatal to the permanent prosperity of a volun- teer military organization, and competi- tion between compamies in riife practice or im any other particular ix hazardous if it unduly | taxes the time and means of any particular | part of the officers and members.

Practice for the month of January will be at 200 and 30 yards; each man will fire one score at each distance and his scores will be re- corded. Companies will be reported at the rifle gal- lery promptly at 8 o'clock p. m. on the dates specified, in undress uniform, armed and equipped. Incase of rain or snow they may be marched to the gallery without arms. A CHANCE FOR BIG RECORDS. Section 5 of the rifie practice order ought to interest every man in the brigade. It “The rifle gallery will be open every day, ex- cept Sunday, from 3 to 5 o'clock p.m. for vol- untary practice. Ammunition will be fur- nished on the payment of 1 cent for each round. An inspector of rifle practice will be in attendance, and, on request, will certify scores to the captains of companies, to be credited as part of the required practice.” This means that every man will have ample opportunity not only to make a complete record, but also a good record. Half the men in the brigade should qualify in the gallery as sharpshooters. Most of them would neces- sarily fail to make a8 good records on the | range as they would in the gallery because the | number of their chances must be fewer on the | range, but they would have todo some mis- erable work to prevent themselves from earn- ing atleast a pair of marksman’s buttons. Now is the time to start right in for a big record. €REEDMOOR 18 “NOT IN 11.” General Orders No. 16 is rather a significant document: not so much for what it says as for what it does not say. After presenting the January riffe-practice schedule cognizance is taken of some of the matches in which the bri- jade was represented during the past year. It is noticeable that no mention is made of any of the prize-winning done at Creedmoor. Mem- bers of the team carried away from the Long Island range a very fair proportion of the in- | dividual prizes, but the word Creedmoor does | not oceur in any place. Sea Girt matches are all recorded, and so are the local competitions, but so faras the official record is concerned Creedmoor did not exist during the year 1891. Gen. Ordway has not been questioned as to | why this i #0, nor has any inquiry been made | of Maj. Pollard, but it is safe to'say that the line was drawn properly. The Creedmoor matches, both for individuals and teams, were not military competitions. So far as the Dis- trict competitors were concerned every contest was purely and strictly in accord with reguia- tions, but the men they shot against in almost every instance either evaded Blunt or sneaked into the bull's-eye behind the cover of some of those extraordinary and elastic rules framed in behalf of New York sharpshooter by that gar- rulous and provincial corporation which calls itself the National Rifle Association. ‘There will be no adverse criticism from any soldier on the action of Gen. Ordway in ignoring the decidedly odorous Creedmoor. ‘THE FIRST BICYCLE COMPANY IN AMERICA. Nearly three years ago Gen. Ordway en deavored to bring about the organization of a bicycle company for the District National Guard, and for awhile it seemed as though he would then succeed. That he did not was due tothe fact that but comparatively few local riders ssed the only variety of wheel available for military service—the “safety.” Now the safety wheel is tremendously in the majority, eo it is an easy matter to find s sumh- cient number of riders who have military in- clinations. As a result of the changed condi- tions » bicycle company has been formed—the first in military history of the western hemisphere. In a great many ways the Dis- trict National Guard has taken the lead and the formation of the eycle company is the latest The new company will meet every Saturday evening in the brigade headquarters building. A MUESING “COLONEL.” Inquiries have been received from several guardsmen as to the identity of « ‘Col. Hartman, who lays claim to the title, pion driller of the world.” No one seems to care very much whether the “colonol” is or is not the champion drill expert, but a few loeal military men are a triffe interested in him, be- cause ke, in ® newspaper article published some time ago, made the following statement. “After the ‘muster out of the West Point Company I was commissioned colonel of the Washington Military Company and ordered to Washington on January 1, 1890. ‘This is acom- pany of seventy-two men, composed of officers of the regular army and candidates for West Point who have been debarred by reason of | some physical defect. It is the body guard to | the President, taking the place of the old cav- alry guard which attended him at the centen- nial celebration in New York city. This com- pany is ordered out for service drill and in- spection four times @ year, at the pleasure of the President.” | ‘The curious ones want to know about this company. No one has ever even heard of itin Washington. ‘The only troop that has an; local claim to the honor of being the President's body guard is troop A—designated the Presi- dent's troop—and that has been commanded continuously by Capt. H.S. Barbour. If Pre dent Harrison has any euch protectors “Colonei” Hartman refers to he can surprise @ good many people by ordering them out for drill and inspection. Several tactical entbusi- | asts are particularly anxious to see the “colonel.” He is tho author of a method by which the Chilean and Italian armies can be pulverized without trouble, and although the | Outlines of this surprising seties of movements | were published some months ago the army | tactical board failed to incorporate the ideas in | the new drill regulations. ‘Ihe ‘colonel | makes modest reference to his wonderful plan as follows: | Ye may not be improper for me to obser | (and it is needless to suy that I take consider- |abie pride in the matter), I have planned a | | movement so that in a battle, having 20,000 men on each side, with acommand under my charge, I can gain a victory within two hours by blowing the bugle, so 4s to represent four positions, thus surrounding the enemy and | making it impossible for them to escape or to win a victory. . This special drill has never yet been published in any of the military manuals,” If Chile should ‘chance to secure the “colonel’s” services the results might be too awful to contemplate. Maj. E. KR. Campbell, fourth battalion, has been detailed as president of the brigade board of examination. —_- ANACOSTIA, HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENTS. On Thursday night the infant class of the M.E.

Property has greatly increased this past year in value and one seeking a pleas- ant home will find it here. Christmas was well celebrated. ‘Ihe services at the different churches were excellent. At the Congrega- tional an operetta, under the management of the ‘Misses Taylor and Mason, was a great success, and the destiny party at Mr. I Braedy’s caused quite a stir. ‘Ihe Grecian myth of the three tutes, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, was very beautifully rendered by Miss Blanche McCook, daughter of Gen, McCook of the noted McCook family, and the Misses Braedy and Buell, and as they spun the web of life which was held by the old distaff they made a striking scene. Herndon has good schools and we think its future is certain, and its rapid improvement RALPH WARREN 1URNS UP. He Surprises His Family by Walking Into Their New York Home. ‘The mystery surrounding the disappearance from this city of Ralph H. Warren, the well- known Princeton College junior and foot ball player, bas been settled. The young man walked into his residence in New York city at 6:30 o'clock last evening. He was met by his mother, whom he greeted affectionately, and apparently was httle disturbed by the sensation his disappearance had caused. Warren was tired and no one was allowed to see him last night. His uncle, Frederick Crosby, said they hoped with rest and quiet he would come round again all right. “Ralph,” said Mr. Crosby, “has made several voluntary id that he remembers leaving fie Fraser's to go fora abort walk.

The next thing he remembers was bis intention to start for Har- per's Ferr: story is somewhat incoherent, and ‘we could get nothing more from him ‘except that be went to Baltimore, where he stayed at a hotel two days. He then decided to come home. Just beiore he took the ferry boat from Jersey City on nis way to New York he read the ac- count of his disappearance ina morning paper.” This ie all the voluntary statement young Warren had made up to a late hour last night, and his relatives, acting on the advice of the family physician, did not attempt to urge him togive any further particulars until he had rested and recuperated. here was nothing in Warrén’s appearance, so far as his clothing went, to show that he had passed through any rough experience during the time he left Washington and when he en- tered the elevator at the Cordova, where he re- Year.

According to the information received yes- terday there is no doubt that the young man strolled out in the country in the direction of the zoo, and one man was positive that be saw him standing on one of the high bridges look- ing down into the water. Another person was e he had seen him in Garrett Park, and still another had seen him this side of Garrett Park ata later hour. . Inspector Swindells placed no reliance in these reports, as he was of the opinion that the missing man, who had €20 and a railroad ticket in his pocket, had left town. Mr. W. A. Torrey, the young man’s: uncle, who came here to assist in tho investigation, received a dispatch from Warren's father say- ing that Ralph had returned home, well, safe and sound. eS THE DAY AFTER. Morning.” There was not much drunkenness yesterday, so the police say, and there was not an unusual number of arrests made. There wus not a seri- ous assault committed yesterday, 80 far as the police know, and the officers had a very quiet day. Anumber of the persons arrested were those who spend most of their time on the farm and who drink to excess every time they getan opportunity. This morning there were twenty- five prisoners in the Police Court, and Bailiff Kendig had charge of the first procession that “After saying this,” nid Mr. Crosby, “Ralph's | GOV. HILL AND SILVER.

THREE WOMEN HEARD. The first casos heard were those of three women, Mary Nichols, Elien Smith and Ida Wells. The first two are regular visitors, but Ida had never been in court before. She had evidently received caliers yesterday, for she wore an evening dress of green and pink silk, a light coat anda green hat trimmed with flow: crs, feathers and other light material. Ida said guilty to a charge of vagraney, it being alleged that she was found drunk ‘and misbehaving herself on Maryland avenue yesterday. Mary was arrested for being intoxicated and singing to a smail audience on a street corner. ‘T had pains in my head,” she said, ‘‘and w: going to 4 drug store to get some medicine. “Judge, your honor,” pleaded Mary day was New Year and you might let me off.” “But you come here too often,” said the judge. “-ihat’s because the police all know me,” con tinued M nd if they don’t arrest me they will get off the force.” Both women were sent down for sixty days. ‘The charge against Ellen was simply diso derly conduct and she suid guilty. Five doilars or fifteen days. A SOLDIER'S CELEBRATION. James Moore, a member of the third artillery, drank some of the tire water such as is sold in South Washington, and this morning his recol- lection was defective. Judge Kimball sid he would hike to know where these soldiers get the liquor, as no per- sons were ever prosecuted for selling to them. Moore had nothing to say and « fine of €5 was imposed. Herbert Seroggins, a small colored boy, was arraigned on two charges. He was in Govern- ment alley, where sowe other boys were fight- ing, and when piaced under arrest a knife, most as long as the boy's arm, dropped from under hivecat. ‘The boy's explanation of his possession of the knife’ was that he found it about « week ago and he took it out last night to play drama. Judge Kimball said he did not know exactly what he had best do with the boy. Mr. Dumont suggested that the sending of him to the work Louse would only teach Lim what he wanted to learn and would develop his unlawful tendencies. ‘The judge was of the same opinion, and he sent the buy to the reform school. ‘THE SAME OLD 8TOR} “It’s a repetition of the same old story,” said Branch Wright's aged father when the son ap- peared to answer a charge of being an habitual drunkerd.

Tennessee's Standing Army of 108 Men May Get Into Trouble. The standing army of Tennessee, composed of 108 men, three months’ supplies, Gatling guns and regulation outfit, left for the mines Thursday night on a special train, under com- mand of Brigadier General Carnes and Adjutant Gencral Norman. The battalion will be swelled by numbers until possibly 250 men are enlisted when they reach the scene of the recent troubles. Three hundred convicts were on the train and will be put to work in the mines again. The stockades have been rebuilt and en- larged and the miners will have serious opposi- tion in reaching them if hostilities are re- newed. Generals Carnes and Norman are em- powered to make a draft on the state for volunteers in case serious trouble is expected. ‘The opinion over the state is that when the miners find what has been done they will arm themselves and sweep the handful of soldiers off the earth. Of the 600 convicts who were relensed in the uprising at Briceville, Oliver Springs and Coal Creek over 250 are still at large. Special correspondents accompanied the troops in anticipation of trouble. ly by. the bor Everybody bas been surprised lu charge that Assistant.

American The principal dispute has been over the character of the wound received by iteggins, one of the victims, DEATH OF SAILOR REGOINS. The Americans have claimed that he was shot and killed bya policeman, and the testimony ofa comrade named Johnson, who was with Reggius at the time, shows that a policeman ad- vanced upon the men with a rifle in his hand and fired at them twice. Reggins was then insensible from a knife wound, and Johnson was carrying him to drug store. Que bail from the policeman's rifle passed through the collar of Johnson's shirt and entered Reggins’ neck, killing him instantiy. The shot was fired ateuch close range that Johnson's shirt was vowder-burned. “The Chilean oficiales have claimed that the appearance of Johnson's clothing indicated that the shot had been fited from a revolver, while the police were armed only with rifles and bayonet swords, Dr. Stitt of the Baltimore made some experi- meuts by firmg at a picce of cloth at close Tange witha rifteand a revolver. ‘The result of this experiment was laid before the court yes- terday and the appearance of the cloth winch had been fired at witha rifle corresponded ex- actly with the appearance of Johnsons cloth- ing. Both Dr. White and Dr. Stitt of the Balti- more have deseribed before the court the char- acter of the wounds received by the men aud have shown that a number of the wounds were made by the bayonets carried by the police,and the testimony of the men themselves shows that the police did use that weapon on them. AFFAIRS AT SANTIAGO. ‘There has been nothing of special importance at Santiago for several wecks past Affairs at the American legation there are practically in the same condition as they have been since the close of the war in August last. The Chilean government has given no intimation that it in- tends to release the refugees or grant them safe conduct. An incident occurred a few days ago which shows with what zeal the refugees are being watched. One of the men who Lad been living in asylum at the American legation for several months left there last weck and went to his home, which is only two doors from the lega- tion. ' The spies round the legation discovered thisand while they made no immediate at- tempt to arrest him they blockaded his house to prevent his escape. A few evenings ago he received a friendly call from a member of the chamber of deputies, who is, of course, a suy- porter of the present government. the byaspy infront of the door. ‘The man in- formed him that he was a spy and that he had orders to make the rrrest. All the members of cougress in Chile are ex- empt from arrest and the deputy immediately retaliated by arresting ihe spy. A half dozen | other spies came to his assistance and quite a disturbuuce arose, but the deputy establish: his identity, and gave his prisoner in charge of 4 policeman, who took bim to the station, where the disposition that was made ot him is not known. A few hours later the man who had left his asylum at the legation requested Min- | ister Egan to escort him back. But Minister Egan notified him that he had lert the legation voluntarily and he was unable to escort him back to it, as the right of asylum did not ex- tend that far. THANKSGIVING ABOARD THE RALTINORE. ‘Thanksgiving day was observed by the Amer- ican sailors in Valparaiso bay by a number of boat races and a dinner given aboard the Balti- more to the competiug crews of the French men-of-war. ‘the Baltimore and three French vessels were the only men-of-war in port at the time and invitations were not extended to the Chilean ships to take partin the races, butat the | invitation of Capt, Schiey the commanders of | the Cochrane and the E+imeralda and several other Chilean naval officers went aboard the Baltimore and witnessed the races. ‘The Americans won three races und the Frenchmen one. ‘There were also a number of games aboard the Baltimore, and afterward about 500 American and French saiiors had a ‘Thanksgiving dinner in the mess room. Capt. Dickinson and twenty-six men, com- prising the crew of the American ship Rappaban- nock, arrived here on the 26th ultimo. from Juan Fernandez Island. The ship was bound from Liverpool to San Francisco, laden with $5,000 tous of coal, After passing ‘Cape Horn the cargo was discovered to be on fire, presum- ably from spontaneous combustion. The ship was headed at once for Juan Fernandez and arrived there two days later, where it was found necessary to scuttle her in order to ex- tinguish the flames. ‘Ihe versel and cargo are practically a total loss, but they will be sold at auction here. sesh SSA AR Accounts of Rough Weather.

A SENSATION, He Charges the Administration With a fering in the Ohio Senatorial Contest. Ex-Gov. Foraker created a sensation in Co- lumbus, Ohio, last night by making a speech criticising the administration for interference | in the senatorial contest going on in that state. | The speech referred to is as follows: “Some body said about three months ago thathe would not scramble for re-clection. It is my impres- tion that he has changed his mind about it, at least that is indicated by the presence in this city tonight, not only of all the representatives by appointment, that hold office within the borders of our state, but all who can be com- manded from all the confines of the United States, We have in this fight to contend upon our side against everything, as once said before, from grandfather's hat to Baby McKee, but against all we shall win the fight. I know whereof I speak, and I hesitate not to make the prediction #ithoutany jualification whatsoever. We did not scek thia ight, but when it was thrust upon us we did not hesitate to accept the challenge. I do not know who the next standard bearer may be. Our present President has given us a administration, but if the people of Ohio ake a’ notion that James G. Blaine should be the nominee we will try and accept that too, and if Blaine should be named we will iy elect bim, and when he shall ted we will have in the White House the greatest of all living Atgericans.” ‘The ex-governor’s speech was frequently in- terrupted by cheers. COMING CON the Sepatorship. The legislative caucus for the nomination of officers of the Ohio house of representatives will be held this afternoon. The fight on the speakership is very close, the candidates being Lewis C. Laylin of Cuyahoga and Jobn F. Me- Grew of Clarke. The probabilities are in favor of Mr. Laylin, but this, it is now con- ceded, will not beasure index on the sena- torial question. Several members who will positively vote for Foraker have been for months pledged to Mr. Laylin and they will vote for him and against Sherman. Yet no attempt ismade to deny the fact that Laylin is the recognized “Sherman candidate” and there ix no doubt his election will be heralded a5 u great preliminary by the Senator's follow- ere. The United States senatoric! caucus will not st will be practically settled re thatand thi the cw will be but a mere formai affair. It is generally conceded that Hon. James E.

The general post office of London has issued a cireulur to the effect that on and after the Ist of January, 1892, a reduced uniform postal tariff applicable to all foreign countries and colonies will be adopted for newspapers, books, printed papers, commercial papers, patterns aud samples posted in the United Kingdom tor places abroad. The distinction between news- papery end other printed papers sent abroad will disappear, and the rate of postage charge- able on correspondence of all theclasses named above will be 5g penny per two ounces with the existing proviso that no packet of samples will be chargeable with a less postage than i penny, and no packet of commercial papers with less than 234 pence. cance teen eee Nee Archbishop Keprick’s Illness, ‘The continued illness of Archbishop Kenrick of St. Louis is creating much uneasiness amoag the clergy and laity of his diocese. Theanxiety is doubled by the fact that he still presists in his refusal to consider the appointment of #co- adjutor. The priests have taken the matter up and will, it is said, attempt to enforce a decree of the last council at Baltimore, giving the irre- movable priests the right to vote for the eleo- tion of abishopor coadjutor. Rev. D.8. Phelan, in the Western Watchman, enters a protest against the delay, and virtually confirms the statements that the priests of the will insist on their right toa voice in theappointment of an ecclesiastical superior. This is strength- ‘ened by the conclusion of his article, which isa rotest against the old method of appointment y the bishops, andan intimation that the will brook no abridgmentof their rights.
