Should an outbreak occur it will be promptly met by the soldiers in command in the field. “It looks as though we should have to remain on duty here several days,” said Col. Welch when seen by @ reporter, and he addcd: “It is almost impossible to tell what the outcome will be.

If the National Guard of New York could for awhile reason with itself and convince its inner consciousness that numbers and efficiency are far from synonymous it might learn a few valu- able lessons trom the brigade of which the Dis- trict of Columbia is so proud. Hear the wail that goes up from an old and thoroughly experienced officer. He says that the examin- ing board which turns out officets for the em- pire state troups is a farcical aggregation that foists incompeteut officers upon regiments. “One candidate.” said he to the New York Times, “gets a fifteen-minute examination in the school of the soldier, while another gets three hours, and is asked questions about everything, from military law and geography to how to write a letter. The indorsement of the candidate's election by the approval or dis- approval of the commanding officer of the ot ganization is something that the ‘board’ pay no attention to, and in fact the members of that august body look upon such an indorse- ment as a gratuitous insult on the part of the commanding officer. “Is there any one better able to judge of the alifications of a candidate for promotion than the commanding officer of the candidate him- self? Why, then, should not such indorsement be part of the examination? A commanding officer migut say that the comminsioning of Candidate Blank would be detrimental to his organization, but according to the way in which examinations are conducted under existing con- ditions the statement would not have the slightest effect upon the examining board. “In the United States army no man is allowed to be a candidate for a commission without the approval of his commanding officer. ‘That is somewhat too radical for the National Gnard, as the Intter is a volunteer service, but it is not | altogether impossible to improve upon the Present statue of affair. Why, for example, should not the candidates for commissions be compelled to demonstrate their efficiency in a practical manner, by drilling a company in presence of the examining board? Such a course would give a ‘line’ up in a man’s ability which would be indisputable. The examination could be conducted in an armory, and regi- mental commanders, almost without exception, would be pleased to put their companies at the disposal of the board for this pur To this practical demonstration could be added the ‘theoretical examination of the candidate, to- gether with the recommendations of his com- manding officer. “The popular supposition that promotion in the companies and the regiments of the Na- tional Guard goes by merit,” the speaker con- cluded, “is a popular failacy. Suppose private Robinson joined a regiment two years ago, during which period he bas performed but 50 percent of duty, besides being a notorious ‘malcontent,’ which he is up to the present time. Now, I will guarantee that if that man, | bad in every way as a soldier as he is, will only | spend a little time and money upon ‘his com- rades in the company he ean be elected to fill a | commission; and, further than this again, that by a little judicious poll-parrot cramming he can pass the examining board, although ab- solutely devoid of every essential requisite to making an officer. “There is not a thinking officer in the National Guard who will not admit that in respect of the | matters to which I have alluded we are con-| fronted by a condition and not a theory. Now, in order to remedy this condition, let us have a brigade school and compel all candidates for commissions to be graduates of this school and | have the indorsement of their commanding offi- cers, company and regimental, before their election. Limit the choice of the companies in the exercise of the right of the election of com- missioned oficers to the men whose qualifica- tions and ability had been certified to as aug- gested.and we would havo a National Guard un- equaled by any state in the Union.” RANGE REGULATIONS. Early next week regulations governing vol- untary practice on the rifle range will be pub- lished. Perhaps the most generally interesting rule is the one which prohibits the promiscuous mixing up of sighting shots and scores and the retiring of sceres or parts of scores. Hereafter every shot fired upon the range will be recordec. NoTES. ‘The range will be open for voluntary practice on Mondays and Saturdays. Practice opens at 1:30—at 200 yards on Monday, running down to 600 rards, and at 600 yards on Saturday. Company B, fourth battalion, goes on a2 excursion to Bay Ridge oa Monday. It prom ines to be a very pleasant affair. Quartermastor General Frank Aldrich has resigned his commission. — THE COURTS. Prozatt Cocnt—Judae Magner. Yesterday—Estate of Wm.

EVIDENCE GIVEN BY THE MEX WHO WORKED ON THE UNDERPINNING OF THE PIERS—THE SU- PERINTENDENT OF THE BUILDING DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROPER PERFORM- ANCE OF THE WoRK. Yesterday afternoon after Tae Stan's report of the coroner's inquest was concluded Mr. Sasse, the engineer of the wrecked building, continued his testimony and told in detail what his customary work at the building was up to the time of the disaster. He said he was a Ger- man by birth, but a naturalized citizen since 1868. JAMES M’PHERSON, James McPherson was next called to the stand. He said he was a bricklayer by profes- sion and was employed on the repairs at Ford's Theater on the morning of the disaster. He said he was working with @ man named Scott under Mr. Dant. He had underpinned build- ings before, but not such large buildings as the one that had fallen down. Mr. Dant had told him that they were to do whatever Mr. Sase or Mr. Covert told them; that whatever pleased thom would be satisfac- tory to him. McPherson went on to tell_how they did the work on each pier, and identified by means of tho photographs ‘the place where he was at wor! Mr. Thomas asked the witness if he would ever undertake such another job again, and the young man stated most emphatically that he never would. He had been too much fright- ened. He was just under twenty-neven years of age, he testifted, and he did not know why Mr. Dant did not have some older man to super- intend the work. Mr. Dant did not give them any directions, but told them to do whatever ‘Mr. Sass or Mr. Covert told them to do. ‘THE NonTH PIER FELL. It was the north pier that fell. All the others had been underpinned and Scott was at work on this one when the crash came. The work on this one was being done just as the others had been, He considered the joints properly made, though he admitted that he had never before been intrusted with the task of underpinning that supported a big building. ‘This time used, nor were there dny needles used in the wall. He did not know anything about the weight that was above him, and did not consider that thero was any danger con- nected with this work. Mr. Hunvey, the contractor member of the jury, took the’ witness in hand and by cross- examination endeavored to get him to admit that he hnd not dono his work well. He ad: mitted that he might have done some things a little better. If he had known that the piers supported a weight of fifty tons he never would have gone under them at all, Mr. Warner got the witness to admit that in the light of recent events the work was not properly done. and that his life, ax the lives of others, was put in peril by che repairs being made when the floors wero not shored up. witness denied that there was any in- stance where in underpinning he had gone around the pier and ieft a core of earth in the center. At Mr. Warner's reqneat Bricklayer Scott was recalied and asked about the matter of danger in his work. He said that in view of what has happened he never world again undertake to underpin a building unless it was shored up. CALEB 1. say! Caleb L. Sayre, a houseraiser and mover, was, called and testified that in his opinion no man in his right mind would try to underpin such a building without shoring up. Furthermore, he did not think that such young men as McPher- son and Scott should have been intrusted with such an important piece of work without con- stant supervision by some one older and more experienced. SUPERINTENDENT COVERT. Mr. Wm. E. Covert, the superintendent of the building at the time it fell, was next called upen to testify. He was asked by Mr. Thomas if he had any statement to make to the jury be- fore proceeding to testify, but aaid that he had none. ‘Mr. Covert was asked if he had had anything todo with the repairs to the building, and frequently, but only from curiosity. He had no authority over the contractor and exercixed none. He did not know anything about build- ing himself. He was told not to give Dant any instructions, but Col. Ainsworth told him that it anything was done to endanger the safety of the building to telephone him at once. He no- ticed that there was no shoring beg dono, but did not know enough ebout building matters to know that shoring was necessary to the safety of the building. So far as he know there was no one whose duty it was to superintend the work. They took it for granted that the con- tractor knew his business, although he did think now that McPherson and Scott were rather young to have undertaken such a del portant job. rt said that he was not_an expert in matters connected with bricks and mortar, and did not know that Ainsworth knew any- thing more about them than he did. AINSWORTH IN CHARGE OF THE BUILDING. There was no one who could have told | whether the specifications were not carried out. Col. Ainsworth was in building and the next wa chief clerk. Mr. Hanvey asked Mr. Covert if he remem- bered saying to him: “This is an unfortunate occurrence, but every appliance known to science and all possible skii! had been used to avert it.” Mr. Covert suid that he did not re- member muking the remark, and furthermore the naid it was not true, Several of the members of the jury then asked Mr. Covert if he did not remember kay- ing to them, when they were all in the building together, that the old brickwork there was the finest work he had ever seen. Mr. Covert could not remember having said anything of the sort, although the members of the jury tried in various ways to jog his memory. ‘Mr. Thomas asked him if ho remembered having told Mr. Roche,a reporter from the Po. that Col. Ainsworth assumed all the respon bility for the disaster. Mr. Covert denied thi also, though he raid that he had seen so many reporters that he could not remember Mr. Roche. Asa final question Mr. Thomas asked Mr. Covert if everybody in the office, from the highest to the lowest, had left all the reaponsi- bility for the security of the building with the contractor. “With Mr. George W. Dant, the man who had the contract for ‘making the re- _— Mr. Covert said that it never had occurred io him that it was dangerous to keep the clerks in the building during the repairs. He had feit no fear and did not think there was any danger. Neither Col. Ainsworth nor Capt. Thorpe bad ever expressed any apprehonsion as to the safety of the building. The roping off of a part of the floor was done by himself at Mr. Dant’s request. As to the war.ing of the clerks not to be ran- ning up and down the stairs Mr. Covert said that this was done at Mr. Brown's direction, as it was not considered proper that the clerks shonld leave the building in such an undig- nitied manner. It had nothing to do with the safety of the building. although the order was not issued until after the repairs were begun, ‘Mr. Covert said that his salary as a clork was $1,600, in addition to which he received #250 ax superintendent of the building occupic the pension and record bureau. Mr. Covert answered a question from Juror Hanvey by stating that the excavation was made for the purpove of putting in an electric light plant, ut this improvement was not being made in | order that they might be able to have the clerks work overtime. JAMES H. M’GILL, James H. McGill, who said that he was an architect by profession and dealer in fireproof material, told of a conversation he had bad the lay before the accident with Contractor Dant. latter was making inquiries about tho price of fourteen-foot iron beams.

Republican Primaries to Be Held in Au- gust—Other New: Correspondence of The Evening Star. Rockvitte, June 16, 1898. The commencement exercises of Rockville Academy, W. Pinkney Mason, principal, were held at the Opera House last night and were witnessed bya very large audience. The decia- mations by a number of the pupils were of @ ANACOSTIA. The Anacostia Citizens’ Association met last night at the substation. President W. Marden King was in the chair and Citizen R. B. Buck- ley verved as secretary pro tem. The principal reason of the meeting was to device ways and means for the beautification of Central Park. At the last meeting of the association a com- mittee was appointed to wait upon Col. Wilson | and request the gift of shrubs and flowers. | This committee reported last night. Secretary | Buckley read a letter from Mr. E. M. Byrnes, | head gardener of the propagating gardens, | | stating that the planting of public | parks had been completed and that | there was on hand a surplus of several thousand flowering and folinge bedding plants, which the | citizens of Anacostia might bave if they would remove them promptly and pay the cartage. It was determined to accept the offer and to ask for four thousand plants. ‘Those who owned | carts were requested to lond a hand and a cart. Some of the bo ue florists have been asked to lay out the park in artistic designe, and on Monday the work of beautifying Central Park will be begun. Under the call of regular business there was some of the usual sewer talk, but no unusual information. Qn the subject of the free de- livery of mail Postmaster Pyles asked that a Petition be put in circulation praring for tha mn, He also asked that should a fourth-clasa Postmaster be appointed the association should endeavor to have the office centrally located. ‘The association determined to have Anacostia represented in the September celebration, and with that idea in mind Messrs. J. E. Minnix, Geo. F. Pyles, R. B. Buckley and W. Marden King were chosen as a committee to confer with the general committee. POLICE COURT MATTERS. Anacostia was represented in the Police Court today by two citizens, one white and the other colored. Lawyer Moss, who lives in Hillsdale, was counsel in both cases, Thomas Hogan, the colored man, was first called, and counsel said that his wife, who had him arrested, had forgiven him and he hoped the court would do likewise. | “What did your husband do to you?” asked the jadge of Mra. Hogan. “He struck me,” was her reply. “For what?” “He was mad, I guess.’ “Then he can’ pav €5 for his madness.” Lawyer Moss then plead for the ma release on credit, eaying he was a hard-work- ing man and he knew that Policeman Anderson would say a good word for him. “He works at the dead horse factory down the river,” said the policeman, “and I think he | will pay the fine if your honor will give him | time. ‘Thomas was trusted until next week. John Littleford was the other citizen of Ana- coxtia who was called for trial, Counsel gave hima name far better than he did his other client and said he was guilty of the simplest kind of an aseault. The assault was committed on Mr. Ballenger. Both men are employed in the navy yard and when they were out drinking together Little- ford struck Ballenger. The latter could not tell who struck him, nor did the defendant have any recollection of the occurrence. A fine of 810 was imposed in this case, but | the court would not put Mr. Littleford’s name on the credit list. NOTES.

The Pertlous Descent of a Parachute Wo- man Near San Francisco. From the San Francisco Call. “Good heavens! She will be impaled on the mast of that ship! ‘The situation was a thrilling one. Up in the air 3,000 feet above that arm of the bay lying between Sausalito and Angel Island an im- mense bag of hot air was visibly collapsing. Immedintely below it two specks—one larger than the other—were falling, falling to what seemed a cruel death. Two lives hung on the direction and force of a fickle current of air—one of those lives that of a nervy, careless woman whom many of the broathless specta- tors had admired and criticised at close range but afew moments before. The other speck was an innocent little monkey. Handbills had been got out to the effect that on Sunday, the 4th of June. the celebrated, world-famous “aerealiste,” Elizabeth Keyes, would make a stupendous parachute descent at Sausalito, and that Jennie Jan-Jun, the clever monkey, would do ditto. ‘They were about 3,000 feet from the earth's Surface and still going eastward when the daug- ling specks beneath the inflated ball were seen to become detached. Then it was that a gen- eral ery of horror arose. Directly beneath the spot where the two breathing specks must fall lay a big chip, the W. T. Walker, with her naked masts upturned with tapering suggestive- ness. Down, down came the parachutes with cruel swiftness. The moments seemed like hours. Another tragedy, such as has been so common in aeronautics of late, seemed inevitable, “She has struck!” “No she basn’t!” “Yes, she has!” were the whispered exclamations of the pectators, and the parachute was among the jalker’s rigging. The woman just escaped the mainmast, and then the big umbrella to which she clung caught on # yard, bringing up Miss Keyes with ® fearful jerk aud awreuch. She hung sus- pended helplessly between sky and bay, afraid to stir lest the parachute should be dragged over the yard and she be precipitated to the deck below. ‘Speedily the seamen on board ran up the rig- ging and secured the parachute, when the dar- ing woman was reached and assisted to the deck. Hence she soon came ashore m a launch and walked to her every-day clothes, protesting in jf dazed, nervous way that she was “ail right.” And the monk? Why, he fell clear off the ship into the bay, clung to his parachute lik Gritty little simian until picked up, and will probably be forced to repeat this (to him) senseless flying act next Sunday. THE DUKE OF VERAGUA. He Will Remain This Country Until duly ‘The Duke of Veragua has decided to remain this country until July, notwithstanding the fact that he is no longer the guest of the na- tion, He will remain in New York city during the time Princess Eulalie is there and will take part in whatever demonstration may be made in her honor. The duke's secretary, Marquis de Villalobas, said yesterday that the princess would sail on June 24, and, on reaching Spain, go at once to the country residence of the queen regent on the Mediterranean. “The Duke of Veragua,” said Marquis de Vil- Inlobas, “‘is « cousin of the Empress Eugenie— a fact which has not been mentioned during the duke’s stay here. The empress has invited him to visit her at her residence in England before THE GERMAN ELECTIONS. It is Believed That the Government Has Net Lost by Dissolution.

Unpleasantness to Which the Infante Has Been Subjected. Commander Davis had a lively time of it yee- terday morning with the correspondents at Niagara. An article reflecting on the Princess Eulalie appeared in the Buffalo Express yester- day which called out burst of indigpation the doctor had started for Rome and that he was expected to arrive there Inst Saturday. It was said that he had sailed on one of thes Ger- man steamers by way of the Mediterranean or ‘on one. of the boats of the Red Star line. Coupled with this information came the state- ment that the doctor was obeying the orders of Mgr. Satolli. A friend of the deposed priest said: “It is the opinion of all of the old members of St. Stephen's that Dr. McGlynn will come back fully vindicated in the stand he took on the land question and on politics.” Before he sailed Dr. McGlynn is reported to have said: “Igo to Rome asa priest and child of the church. I also go as an American citizen. My stay will not be a long one.” ‘One of the Paulist fathers, who requested that bis name should not be ured. said ‘Thure- day that he saw no reason to doubt the state- ments that Dr. McGiynn bad been received cordially by the holy father, and that the doctor's complete restoration would follow soon, He added: You must bear in mind that he has not yet been completely restored. He has simply been released from excommunication, but as yet has been assigned to no parish, and so far as I know he bas not said mass anywhere except ina private chapel in Brooklyn. He has authority to say mass, but he lacksa church. The Rev. Father Ducey, who always has in- sisted on the right of individual opinion, is re- reported as much pleased with the situation. He is certam that the Vatican will it in future no coercion of individuals in the Catho- supporters of Hberal thought and teaching. wall supporters of liberal thought beupheld by the pope. Although loath to say much about Dr. Mc- Glynn's visit to Rome, Father Ducey expressed hope thac the good news of a complete recon- ciliation between the pope and Dr. McGlynn would be confirmed soon. Dr. Henry Carey, who is a member of St. Stephen's Church ‘and 1s one of the stanchest supporters of Dr. McGlynn, said he was over- joyed with the news, but was not greatly sur- ised, because he had known all along that the loctor had gone to receive the blessing of the pope. “Tam taking part in a movement,” continued | Dr. Carey, ‘to give the doctor a graad recep- tion when’ he returns home. Ali of us of Ft. Stephen's parish hope to have the doctor for our partor again. It ix not unlikely that a pe- tition will be prepared and sent to Mgr. Satolli asking for his restoration to his old church.” Father Lavelle said that no official news of the visit of Dr. McGlynn to the pope bad been received at the cathedral. “Ido not know whether the pope sent for him,” he added, “although I understand that one of the conditions of the doctor's bein restored was that he should see the pope. don't know when Dr. McGlynn went, how he went or anything else about it, and the arch- Dishop is as totally in the dark concerning it as my 4 The govsip stirred up by the reported recon- ciliation between the pope and Dr. McGlynn has been sxtended by a rumor that the Rev. Dr. Burtsell is to be made a bishop and that a like honor may be conferred upon Dr. Mc- Glynn. {t is said that Dr. Burtsell is to be given charge of a diocese to be made up of ister, Sullivan and Greene counties, and that maybe Bishop Wigger, who has bad trouble th some of the priests of the Newark diocese, will be transferred and his place filled by Dr. McGlynn. As though to give color to these rumors and to show that Archbishop Corrigan is ill at ease, Dr. Ferranti, who has been acting as private secretary to the archbishop, is going to Home. It is reported that he will propare for a visit of the archbishop to the pope. Father Lavelle said that there was no truth in this report. | “Dr. Ferranti is an Italian,” he said, “and | during his two years’ stay in’ America he has longed contmually to go home to see his | mother.

Away back in the early '60s Mr. Ferguson was defending a man accused of beating his wife. ‘The case was on trial before a justice of the peace, probably the same justice who decided that stealing @ sack of potatoes out of a canoe in the river was “piracy on the high seas.” The accused was convicted, and the justice promptly sentenced him to be hanged. $ you can't bang @ man for beating his ife,” expostulated Ferguson. “The devil I can’t,” said the justice, bridling up. “Ain't he guilty?
