Another consideration moving to the reoom- mendations is the fact, admitted by all milttary studeuts, that the organisation of the troops into small battalions for tactical purposes ts indispensable to eMotency. Of- ficers who have participated in modern battles agree, it is said, that in order to push home an attack against an enemy who wses weapons of today that kill at 2,500 yards successive lines or waves are necessary, as well as the distribution of the attacking front into groups deployed so as to take advantage of every foot of _ that offers cover or protection. ‘odern conditions increase the diMoulty of controlling the fighting force, and make Necessary @ reduction in the strength of the unit to a number which « single leader van direct. The requirements can best be mat, Secretary Lamont says, by subdivid- ing the regiments into three battalions of or 400 mun, and placing each under the peters of field officers. Formerly one colonel could keep in hand the movements of 1,000 men in close order. Now a small battalion deployed in open order covers more ground than the front of a regiment did under the old system. Importance of the Infantry. The infantry 1s regarded as the arm upon the efMictency of which depends the Anal result of a battle. The Secretary of War's proposition looks to the addition of two companies to each of the present twenty- five regiments, and requires the twelve companies to be subdivided in battalions, to be commanded by one leutenant colonel and two majors, respectively. This gives pecific employment to the lHeutenant col- onel, whose duties are not now clearly de- fine: nd adds one major to each regime! The artillery now has five regiments, e wita a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, three majors and twelve companies. ‘Iwo of these companies are organized as field ar- tillery. The remaining companies are driil- ed for service in sea coast ports and as infantry. The Secretary is unwilling at this time to recommend an increase in the number of artillery regiments, but he urges the addition of two companies to each of the present organizations. This will give twelve foot batteries, organized Into three battalions of four batteries each. The field batteries are to constitute an edditional battallo: Each battalion is to be commanded by eld officer. The cav- alry, it is said, needs no increase in num- bers, as the importance of mounted troops is gradually growing less, and the present force is adequate for the Indian frontier in times of peace. Now the cavalry regi- ments have four field officers, exclusive of the commander. This is thought to be on squadron commander more than is ri | quired, and a reduction to three is though advisable. Carrying into effect th recommendations, the army would have seventy-five battalions of infantry, fifteen of foot artillery and five of field artillery. This would piovide an army of 80,000 men, an organization which conforms to modern requirements. The increase in the number of enlisted men would be 16 1-2 per cent, that of the effective force 20 per cent and that of the cost of maintenance 6 per cent. Effect Upon Officers. The Secretary’s statement goes somewhat into detatis as to the effect of the propost- tion upon officers. No additions in the grades of colonel or Neutenant colonel in any arm will result if the measure becomes a law. Hach regiment of infantry wiil gain a major, and the promotion of twenty-five captains will be brought about. No cap- tains of artillery or cavalry will be pro- moted, Hach company of artillery which now has three lieutenants will lose one, making the total reductions in this arm ané grade sixty. It is said that this num- ber of lieutenants can well be spared, as a battery today does not need more than two lieutenants efficiently to perform the required duties. By the proposed changes in operation, sixty-nine lieutenants of in- fantry, sixty-four lieutenants of artillery | and thirty-two lieutenants of cavalry, or a will at once be- come captains, e chances of pro- motion will be much brighter. Increase of Rank and Duty. Giving the rank of captain to regimental adjutants and quartermasters is said to be feasible and advisable, and the increased cost only $5,600 a year. It is proposed that these officers shall perform the additional duty of post paymasters and commissaries, under the direction of the regimental coin- mander, It is argued that the proposed system of promotion by rank now heid by officers rather than according to length of service is more just and simpler in execu- ton. Relative to suggested changes in the number and pay of veterinary surgeons, Secretary Lamont says that under the present law an anomalous condition exists, whereby four regiments of cavalry have two such officers, while the other six regi- ments have but one, The recommendations would give each regiment one veterinary surgeon, at the equal pay of $1,200 per year. fo increase the pay of sergeant majors and quartermaster sergeants Lo $86 and $34, respectively, he says, would remove the present unjust discrimination of law, which authorizes higher pay for the juniors tn rank of these important non-commissioned officers. Relative to the question of cost of the whole scheme, Secretary Lamont says that the additional enlisted men would involve an outlay*of $1,200,000, and pro- motions and additions in the officers’ class + e+____. CLASSING OARSMEN, Definitions Adopted by the Middle States Hegatta Association. A meeting of the Middle States Regatta Association was held last night in New York for the purpose of discussing the defi- nition of the classes of oarsmen. ‘The question of a coxswain was discuss- ed at length, and it was the unanimous voice of the meeting that Classification of the coxswain be abolished. They were of the opinion that the coxswain should be considered as a part of the boat, as it was a serious matter to risk an elght-oared shell or barge in the hands of a green coxswain, Judge Tighe proposed that*‘a junior should be a man who had never won a race.” This would do away with the present difficulty of compelling a man to forfeit his right to the junior class by rowing in an intermediate race where he is defeated. The motion was carried unanimously. Then the intermediate question was taken up and it was the volce of the meeting that an “intermediate oarsman is one that has never won an intermediate or senior race.” ‘This would not debar a junior from rowing in an intermediate race, or an intermediate from rowing in @ senior race without losing his standing, unless he proved a winner. In regard to the request from the natio: association to send a suggestion as to what their program of events should consist of it was suggested that all the events should be nothing but senior champlonship con- tests. ‘The following resolution was unanimous- ly adopted: “Resolved, That It ts the sense of this organization that as the regatta of che Nae tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen is supposed to be for the championship of America that it should consist of the senior class only of all styles of racing boats.” ———+e+___ Death of Miss Wheatly. Miss Catherine de Boyer Wheatly died suddenly in France near the city of Rouen on the 16th instant with fever contracted while traveling in the Holy Land. She was only twenty years of age, of brilliant attainments, studying for the opera and A BOUT GEORGETOWN A Young (irl Attempts Sxotdeby Leaping From the 4 queduct Bridge. She is Rescued and Taken to the Emergeney Hospital—Cause of Her Rash Act—Other Items. ‘When last night’s storm was near its height ® young girl, seareely more than seventeen, jumped from the Aqueduct bridge to the river below, & distance of nearly sixty feet. The act was committed with suicidal intent. The girl was Flora Smith, a native of Lombardy, Ontario, who fy nurse in the family of Capt. Foote of the ninth infantry, who 1s stopping at an uptown hotel. She climbed over the ratl- ing of the bridge near the third plier from the Virginia end, hung by her hands for a moment and then, with a scream, let go. Just at that moment the little passenger boat Bartholdi, which runs between George- town and the gambling places above the ‘Three Bist: shot under the brid Her pt the scream and looked out. @ saw the woman fall and the next mo- ment heard the splash as she struck the water. = understood the situation at a orgs and set about to effect a rescue, ‘he night was intensely disa; ble and the work was unusually hard, but finally @qomplished. The Gripping woman ¥as hauled on board throug’ assistance cf Robt. Cumberland and carried to the boat house at the foot of 82d street. There she was given whisky to warm hi , and dry clothes were furnished by a resident of the vicinity, ‘The Cause of Her Rash Act. In snatches, and after considerable ques- tioning, the caui for the rash act was given out. It proved to have been insti- gated through the apparent indifference of @ man she loved—W. F. Daugherty, a mem- ber of the band at Fort Myer, whom she had met in New York at one of the military stations there. Last night, as stormy as it was, she consented to take a drive with him, it being not convenient and in some manner embarrassing to have him at the hotel. Daugherty took her away in a closed carriage. He drove to Georgetown and over the Aqueduct to Rosslyn. There he iisduced her to go into a restaurant and in- sisted upon her drinking. She refused ab- solutely, she claims. Daugherty drank considerably, became disagreeable and quarreled with her. It was the outcome of S continued indifference, and it aff 1d She cried and wept convulsively. Pauper in the meantime had taken 6 much that he fell into a drunken sleep. Then the girl left him, requesting a woman who was in the room to tell him upon awakening that she had gone forever. She assed through the greater part of the Sarl miserable gambling town to and on the ridge, stopping over the third pier. She did not notice the Barthold! coming when she let go of the bridge floor, She screamed, she says, not to attract utten- tion. It was only at the horrible thought of what was coming. She Wanted to D She was not pleased with her rescue. She wanted to die, and cried piteously all the way to the boat house, where she w landed. There Officer Lyddane did much for her comfort and séent‘her to the Emer- gency Hospital. Her employer, Capt. Foote, Was summoned to the girl's bedeide. His presence very perceptibly confused her. She emed then to have been’ ashamed of what she had done, and burst out crying again. ‘The girl, to the captain's knowledge, had never drank anything. He blames Daugh- erty severely and will look to his punish- ment. Goodman Sent to the Penitentiary. The assailant of Geo. H. Lawrence (the keeper of the High View: Hotel, at the end of the Chain bridge), THtos. A. Goodman, was yesterday tried at Alexandria and sen- tenced to two years in the penitentiary. He was convicted of assault and battery with intent to kill, Several residents cf Geo. ctown testified as to the assault. It will be remembered that on March man, while violently intoxicated, force way into the sleeping apartment of Law- rence and slashed him terribly across the face, neck and br peculiarly shaped kitchen knife. jumped up anf grappled with his a and at the first opportunity fled. Goodman pursued him to the kitchen, and there in- flicted more wounds with the knife. Final- ly he got from the grasp of the slasher, and for weeks lay on the verge of death. In the meantime Goodman came toGeorgetown and was arrested. The Alexandria county authorities came over and made arrange- ments to get him within their jurisdiction. While in the Georgetown cell Goodman act- ed violently. He butted his head against the fron door, inflicting upon himself wounds, and at night attempted to cut his throat with his tin prison drinking which he twisted and broke so as to exvose the edges. Neither attempt was effective. He has been out of prison since the first day or two succeeding the assault on $300 ball. Mr. Mitchell Returns Home.

Dainger- field, ‘The hall was decorated profusely with palms, evergreens and cut flowers, and the general effect was the prettiest seen in this city for many years. Promptly at 10 o'clock the cotillion, led by Ensign James H. Reid, U. 8. N.,with Miss Dainger- fleld, was begun, and from then until an early hour this morning the dancing was kept up, with the exception of the time taken for the supper. The figures of the german were both intricate and graceful, and were led with perfect case, Mr. Held seeming to have excellent control over the many participants. The favors were numerous and very pretty. The music, by Donch’s Orchestra, was, as usual, good, and it-was with a sigh of re- ret that the strains of “Home, Sweet ome," were wafted over the hall. Mr. and Mrs. Daingerfield were assisted in re- ceiving by Miss Sallie V. Gg atom with Ensign James H. Reid, U. 8. N., Miss Sallie Smith of New York with Mr. Powell Min- nigerode, Miss Stokes of Baltimore with Mr. Hobson, U. 8. N., Miss Lucy Minni- gerode with Mr. C. W.
