MOVING STRAIGHT AURAD. ‘The regular monthly meeting of the inspectors of rifle practice was held at brigade headquar- ters last Monday evening, and proved to be one of the most interesting of the gatherings. Many subjects of interest to the departinent of rifle practice and to the brigade were discussed profitably and several valuable conclusions were Fenched. One of the most general importance ‘Was that which concerns the marking of shots | im the gallery. There has always been more or less trouble in properly scoring on the indoor range. because would splash and bullets | Would flatten out so that hits which would have missed the foar-line or buli’seye ona paper target would splash away over the line on an tron target and thus give toaman a point which be had not earned, and to which, of course, he was not entitled. To avoid any im the future, and to secure absolute uniformity, it was decided to supply the in- spectors of rifle practice with {5-caliber gauges, by menus of which, and measuring from the middle of the hit ich is very clearly appa- rent—they would give aman just what be made ino more. Of course some of the men who been in the habit of scratching in # buil’s- | Bow and then will feei « little disturbed | the affair, but it will be perfectly eqritable and did not commence until the first night of the present month, so that everybody staris out even. THOSE BUSTY RIFLES, ‘One or two of the inspectors had complaints to make about the extremely rusty and dirty ebaracter of the guns in their commands, and it Was suggested comp on duty in the gallery should bring w: m at least one | cleaning red for every two rites, so that when ft becomes absolutely necessary to put a gun in order the material will be with the company and available for immediate use. 11 was stated | Dy one insp. ¢ in a company whose rifle | Practice he had wapervised but a few days since | ‘there was not a single gun that would pass even | the most liberal sort of an inspection. The at-| fenton of this company bas frequently been | called to the condition of its arms, but no rea- | sonable amount of kindly criticism seems to be | ef any avail TRE DOOR MAY DE amet. Avotber grievance was found in the fact that several companies have reported at the gallery very much later than the hour prescribed in the general orders. This is something that | eagbt not to be and if it continues may result ime trite of friction. A tardy company cer- tainly has no right to keep the inspector in the gallery until an unreasonably late bour, and it will not be at all surprising if when some one of these very late commands arrives at the gal- lery ‘row haif an hour to three-quarters of an hour bebind time it find the lights out and the | doors locked. There is a limit to the patience even of an inspector of ritte practice. | ASSIGNMENTS OF SEPARATE comaxps, = | At the conclusion of the meeting the inspector General of rifle practice announced that for the PUrposes of ritle practice and until farther or- ders the first and second separate companies would be attached to the first regiment, while | the tiret separate battalion and engineer corps | are attached to the second regiment. it was also arranged that the inapectors of Fifle practice instead of shooting their official | ridge's subsequent career, and I need not here | scores on the same night as is to com- Pany Aof their respective battalions, will do their shooting with the general staff and the Gold aud stad of regiments, “This is but right, Because when an inspector Las worried through evening with a company of forty or forty- meu he is in no condition to do bimee!

At least one firm of military outfitters is scraping the prices clear down the bone, so that aman may be thor- oughly equipped for a very moderate sum. THAT TRIP TO CHICAGO. At the present time it is extremely difficult to figure out even to within a hundred or two of the number of those proposing to visit Chi- cago during the world’s fair and to encamp by the lakeside. from the time when the project was first broached there has been wonderful enthusiasm, and it would scom settled at this period that not les than five or six hundred men will leave Washington for Chicago wear- ing the uniform of the District National Guard and glad to have the opportunity to acquire free transportation and adecided amount of valuable information in camp on strange terri- tory. AND THE RANGE WILL BE READY. As soon as the ice goes out of the river a de~ tachment of the engincer corps will be ordered to the Bellevue reservation for the purpose of making a thorough survey of the tract, this being necessary in order that a range suitabl for the use of ‘the brigade and of the marine corps be commenced us soon as possible after the opening of spring. Unless all the signs fail it is evident now that there will be estab- lished within the District the finest rifle range in the United States: one at which national competitions will probably be beld from year It is proposed to revive so much es is necessary of the old tional Ritle Association and to locate it at this point, sp that, from next season, competi- tion for the world’s championship—which is the Hilton trophy—and other prizes of like character will take place in the neighborhood of the national capital. im NEXT WEEK'S SCHEDULE. Rifle practice in the gallery during the com- ing week will be at 300 yards, and on the fol- lowing schedule: Monday—Company A, first separate bat- talion: company A, first battalion (at its own Company D, fourth battalion; company C, first batialion’ (at ,its own gallery range). Wednesday—Company B, sixth battalion. Thursday—Company A, sixth battalion. vompany B, fist separate batialion. Saturday—Second separate company. Volley firing will follow the individual prac- ice, three volleys being fired by each organiza- A proper record of the results, to be en- tered in the company target record book, wiil be certified by the inspector of rifle practice. Companies will be reported at the rffe gal- lery promptly at 8 o'clock p.m. on the date specified In undress uniform, armed and equipped. Incase of rain or snow they may be taarched to the gallery without arms. Rifles will be cleaned at the close of practice before leaving the gallery. ‘The ritle gallery will be open every day ex- cept Sunday from 3 to6 p.m. for voluntary practice. Ammunition will be furnished on the payment of I cent foreach round. Af in- spector of rifie practice will be in attendance, and on request will certify scores to the cap- tains of companies to be credited as part of the required practice. Notes. Capt. Harry B. Cilley, adjutant of the second regiment and one of the most popalar and ef- ficient of the many popular and efficient mem- | bers of the D. .G., has returned to the city | and to duty. Adjt. Gen. Porter of New York, in his annual | report to the governor for 1892, which contains much of interest to the National Guard, recom- mends arming the guard with the same rifles as are used by the U. 3. army as soon as the new arm now under construction is adopted and finally ‘ssued to the U.S. troops. It is again tirged by Gen. Porter that a full and complete supply of blankets, rubber blankets, camp and cooking utensils, tents and all necessary field equipments be issued to the troops or kept in stock. The uniforms subjected to so much wear and tear lest year while the troops were on active service Gen. Porter recommends be replaced by new issues. “Campaign hats” for service in the field are also advocated. Quartermaster Sergeant 8. D, Rotramel, fourth battalion, and Hospital Stewar®F. J. Cardozo, first separate battalion, recommended for nomination as inrpectors of rifle practice of their respective battalions, have been ordered to appear on Monday evening before the exam- ing Ceaam department of rifle practice. Capt. Harry Walsh and his men deserve a great deal of credit for the admirable scores made in the company competition last Tuesday night. The winning aggregate—528 out of @ possible 750—was remarkably good. On the evening of Tuesday, the 14th instant, battery A will give a dancing reception at the National Rifles’ Hall. eee RECKINRIDGE WEPT. WHEN JOHN C. A Striking Incident That Occurred Just Before the War. A correspondent of the Boston Transcript gives an interesting account of ascene he wit- nessed in Washington at the close of 1860 which throws light on the sentiments held by the late Vice President Breckinridge as to the Union. On Christmas eve, writes this correspondent, amerry gander party was assembled in the bachelor quarters of Maj. Wail (of Wall & Stephens) on the avenue. The major’s abun- dant means had so gencrously fortified his gar- rison that care for tomorrow was a thing of yesterday and orders were published that the calendar of that year should close with no signs of mourning. It is_no part of this his- tory to say whether the order was questioned or not It was alittle past midnight when the door | opened to admit the man whose presence was so welcome everywhere, and the eager whieper- ing of Mr. Breckinridge’s name was an evi- dence of the respectful esteem in which he was held, so marked, so personal that it moved him to the depths of his manhood. Gracioueiy re- ceived by bis host, Mr. Breckinridge came dirsctly to the pianoforte, around witich a group of us bad been singing, and after a grasp | of the hand all around and a pleasant word, he asked that the music should be resumed. After a song or two we sung “My Old Kentucky Home,” winning from him a courteous ac- knowledgment. “He then asked, “Will you not ing something patriotic?” In se we gave tho “Star Spangied Bonner.” Moet of ts fair performers, and I indulge the belief that the occasion inspired the singers with an unction that served as well as. more dis- inguished merit, As we concluded, instead ted reward of applause. the stillness of death filied the apartment. Mr. Breckinridge was sobbing like a woman, and tears were strenin- ing down his cheeks. ' As soon as he could con- trol his trembling lips he exclaimed, witu an exordinm for which these darhes may stand as boys, it makes me feel ike [ \d we repented the song at his earn- est entreaty.

ALBERT CARRY'S RESIDENCE. REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. | The Lull That is Believed to Precede | an Active Season, THE CLEVELAND BOOM. The Demand for High-Class Houses One of the Features of the Market—Senator Quay’s Large Purchase—A Good Season Predicted—Various Improvements, R ATHER QUIET DE- cribes in general the condition of real estate just now. There is, however, a prevail- ing feeling of hopeful- ness, The feeling may | correctly be described | as something stronger than mere hope. It amounts to an abiding confidence that the coming season is to be one of great activity, not only in the demand for property, but in | the progress made in those substantial improve- ments which indicate general prosperity and | growth in population. It is expreted that after | | things settle down under the new administra- | tion that people will find time to turn their at- tention to investments in real estate. The arctic weather of the past month or #0 has not beon favorable to realty transactions, but now that real estate is no longer covered with snow it is receiving some of the attention which the dealers, at any rate, believe its importance | demands The building activity, it is thought, will be as great as it was last year, and when it is considered that Insé year more ‘money was spent in stone and brick in this city than in any previous year in its history it will bo a | great record to maintain the pace which was | then set. There is reason to believe that there | will be s good deal of ‘attention paid to sub- urban interesta this year. Already in a quiet | way a good deal is being done iu this direction | and large tract# of land are being syndicated | with a view of taking advantage of the demand when it does come. STILL A REAL ESTATE poom. ‘Mr. Cleveland, as a real estate boom, is still in active circulation, and if he occupies one- tenth of the places that have been confidently mentioned as having been selected as his coun- tryhome he and the rest of the Cleveland | family will be on the move for the greater | part of ‘the time of the coming four years. | Fate, as indicated by the prevailing rumora in real estate circles, locates him on the 7th strect road more frequently than anywhere else. Other localities come boldly up to the -cratch and manage to get in their innings, but it is only for a short time, when: the 7th strect ro disagain to the front. This enterprising | ‘ae ivity has ted to a pleasing interest in prop- y in that locality, and some surprising schemes are discussed.', There is not exactly a mad rush for property in that section, but it is almost equivalent to it, and it will not be re- markable if the bulk of transactions in suburban roperty during the next month or so is in this locality. However, population is going out thers any way, and the Cleveland boom is only giving a little impetus | to the movement. As faras known Mr. Cleve- land has not digested the buiky correspondence | he has from real estate dealers and owners of | proverty mufficiently to enable him to make up jis mind in what section of the suburbs he intends to repeat the experimentof baying land | for $700 per ucre and selling it for €5,000. It | may also be added that there is no unanimity | of seutiment on that point in real estate circles. Some are confident that he would be. able to achieve that end by investing in property on | the other side of the Potomac. Then there are those who favor the vicinity of Anacostia, others speak a good word for Bladensburg, and, in fact, there 1sno locality that has not its | advocates. Mr. Cleveland is not in all cases advised to buy property. Some are of the opinion that he should lewse a desirable country place. ‘There are enough who take this view of Mr. Cleveland's duty | toward the real estate interesta\ of the city to give him the pick of the finest country piaces in the vicinity of this city, The rentals asked are extremely moderate, which induces the be- lief that Mr. Cleveland's occupancy of a place merely as a tenant is looked upon as of value. It is evident that Mr. Cleveland is gradually collecting material which would furnish a first- | class history of real estate in this city for the yenr 1892-8, and perhaps when he retires from | public life he may set about the task of writing | such a history. It is not believed that he will | make any other use of the information with which he has been so bountifully supplied, as there is a growing belief that the home of Gray Gables will answer all the needs which the President-elect and his family will have for # place in the country for the next four Years. THE DEMAND FoR FINE HOUSES. However, whether Mr. Cleveland buys prop- erty here or not the prospority of the city will | continue. There has perhaps never been » | time when there bas been a groater demand for | fine houses than just now. Dealers who have | property of this class will tell you that they | Eire commissions froen ‘wealthy ison $0 secuse suitable residences in this city. Some of them, | itis thought, will be connected with the now administration in one way or another. Others j are coming here to make their winter home, just as people of this class have been in the habit of doing in constantly increasing num- bers for several years pnat. A significant fact | in this connection is the decision of Vice Presi- dent Morton not to sell his home on Scott cir- cle. ‘This means that at the close of his official term, instead of going to New York to spend his winters, he will probably live here. BIG PRICES FOR BUILDING SITES. Over $50.00 for a single building site is rather a round sum to expend for such a pur- pose. That is what Senator Quay paid for « lot on K street between 16th and 17th streots the other day, as stated in Tux Stan. It ex- | cited no particular comment, as such transac- | | tions are by no means unusual. Mr. Leiter | | paid more than twice tha! «um for the ground | on which his house is located and there are quite a number of building lots now adorned by | handsome residences which represent to their | owners amounts in five figures.

C., yesterday. The vessel did not move down to the lower harbor, because it was desired to test certain important observations made from data required by a comparison of the result of preliminary prac- tice with the results obtained during present ex- periments. In the preliminary practice range- curves had been calculated from valve settings. In the test shots were plotted not only from the setting, but by the loss of pressure in the firing reservoir. When viewed so sep- arately either of these gave a complete system of range curves, but when the two were placed side by side they seemed to indicate that under different conditions different range curves were obtained from the same valve | setting. It was to obtain further data on this | point which determined the board to continue stationary practice at the naval yard before be- inning the more difficult test in the lower bar- or. Beginning shortly before noon seven shots were fired with even more satisfactory results than any yet obtained. ‘I'wo shots fired from the same gun consecutively were absolutely accurate. Had the tests been made or. the snore the shell would have fellen in the same | hole. The first shot fired for # range of 2,000 yards fell directly on the line.

He must have | started off at once on his own eceount; that is, | | on the supposition that there is any such per- | son, The most curious thing about it all is that | he tells such a straight story. That is to say, he puts the claims of tho ‘princess in just the | way one would expect of her uncle, He says that the people of Hawaii would not be willing to see Liliuokaluni back on the throne. He is perfectly right in that, but he might have gone a step farther and said that we would be no Detter satisfied with Kaiulani, “The iruih of the matter is,” continued Mr. ‘Thurston, “that things had come to such a pass in Hawaii that eomething hnd to be done and that right away. ‘The lottery business and the rts of the queen to oust the members of her cabinet brought matters to a head, and almost before we realized it the whole thing was over with. You can hardly call ita revolution. It was simply an uprising, simulianeous and un- expected, and we were almost as much sur- prised over it all as was the queen herself.” Then the conversation took a more general turn, for the commissioners were ail anxious to know what attitude the press and the people of Waehington were taking on the matter.

It acted as a paralyzer on all tendencies toward lawlessness and riot on the part of the people.

Now that it is all over they are per- fectly satisfied with things as they are and I have no idea that there has been any sort of trouble on the island since we came away. To show you how sudden the whole thing was I can tell you that the Boston only came into the har- bor of Honolulu on the morning before the rev- olution. “She had been there some time before, but she had gono off among the isiands to engage in a ittle target practice, I suppose, and Minister Stevens had gone with her, so you ace that mo one can say that the revolution was started or in any way encouraged by the representatives of the United States.
