SIEBGERT’S ANGOSTURA BITTERS, THE most efficacious stimulant to excite the appetite, keeps the digestive organs in ia GREATER FENCIBLES A Battalion to be Formed from the Present Company. PROPOSED UNIQUE FORMATION Each Company Will Be Com- manded by a Lieutenant. APPROVED BY GEN. ORDWAY It 1s to be the Greater -Fencibles. Wash- ington’s representative military company, the Natioral Fencibles, or as it is officially designated as a National Guard organiza- tion, company C, second battalion, will soon be a battalion of four companies. The Fencjbles are known throughout the United States gererally, and as the cham- pion military company of America are re- garded with envy by the crack infantry drillers everywhere. The Galveston semi- centennial championship cup, twice won on fields of friendly strife against the world, graces the armory, and the company occupics a position at the top of the lad- der, so far as the citizen soldiery is con- cerned. Therefore the announcement that the organization is to increase to four times its present numerical strength and merge into a battalion is of more than passing interest. The scheme for enlargement originated with Capt. Charles S. Domer about three months ago. The commanding officer of the Feneibles since then has been thinking deeply of the idea all to himself, disclos- ing {t to no one. In company with Lieut. Mortimer, Capt. Domer called at brigade headquarters the other day and indulged in a lengthy conference with Brigudier Gencral Albert Ordway, commanding the District of Columbia militia, and as a re- sult a special meeting of the Fencibles was ordered for last evening. In the order it was stated that the commanding officer would submit a vital proposition to the company, and that occasioned an unusually large attendance, every Fencible, with but one or two exceptions, answering to the 11 call just after the meeting was called {8 order. Plan Outlined. Without preliminaries of any nature Capt. Domer outlined his proposition in de- tail. It is, as has been stated, to enlarge the present company to a battalion of four companies. This arrangement,it is thought, will make the organization a greater factor in National Guard affairs generally, will give it a much higher standing in the com- munity and supply the District National Guard with a representative battalion of equally as high standing in drill and dis- cipline as the Fencibles are now as a com- pany. A novel feature of the scheme, how- ever, is the fact that there is to be no major. Capt. Domer will retain his present rank as captain of company C, second bat- talion, and as senior officer of the new bat- talion, will be in command thereof. Neither are there to be any captains besides Capt. Domer. Each of the four companies will be in commend of a first lieutenant, with a second lieutenant under him. When an additional officer is necessary, as in execut- ing movements by platccns, the first ser- geant, who under the new drill regulations is practically a supernumerary, will be pressed into service. Additional Reasons. Another reason for the enlargement, as stated by Capt. Domer, is to provide for a number of well-deserved promotions. The Fencibles. were organized in 1887, and since that time changes among the officers have been remarkably few in number. At least half of the membership of the organiza- tion is made up of charter members, who are, and have been for eight years,privates. These men are fully competent to act as company commanders, and a3 there is no indication that the present officers will re- sign, opportunities for prcmotion under the existing state of affairs are decidedly slim. The new battalion formation will provide for an adjutant, a quartermaster and an inspector of rifle practice and a surgeon, each with the rank of first lieutenant. Six more Leutenants will be required and also a full complement of warrant officers. With such additions, Capt. Domer will be reliev- ed of many arduous duties, and the heavy responsibilities devolving upon the captain of such an organization will be distributed. According to the proposition as submit- ted, the organization is to participate in in- terstate and other competitions in the future, as in the past, as company C, sec- ond battalion. Instead of sixty men, Capt. Domer will hereafter have a body of 200 well-drilled soldiers from which to select his drill teams. Holding a commission as captain of company C, second battalion, D. Cc. N. G., no dispute can be made by rival organizaticns at interstate drills as to the right of Capt. Domer to command the Fencibles’ drill team. In such events the men to be promoted on the formation of the battalion will be expected to resume their places in the ranks of the drill team if necessary. Control of Mess. The annual encampment of the brigade, {t was stated at the meeting last evening, will probably seriously interfere with the plans of a company desiring to participate in interstate drills, for the reason that the commanding general Is not inclined to ex- cuse any company of the brigade from par- ticipation in the camp. The Fencibles, as a battalion, could easily be represented in camp with four good-sized companies, and also send a team to competitive drills. An- other point set forth was that at the bri- gade encampments the various battalions are to organize their own messes. In the present formation, the Fencibles must com- bine with three outside companies, so far as commissary arrangements are concerned, which they do not look on with favor, while as a battalion they would be able to have entire control of their mess. The four companies of the new battalion will assemble for drill on the same evening each week, and will maneuver as the com- manding officer may elect. They may drill as companies, as a battalion or be consoli- dated into one big company. An organiza- ticn similar to the one proposed is the State Fencibles of Philadelphia, who have a national reputation. Applications for membership in the organization must be made to the battalion. Assignments to com- paries will be made later: Gen. Ordway Agrees. Gen. Ordway heartily concurred in the scheme as proposed and promised his es- sistance. The new battalion will probably be assigned as the second battalion, a vacancy being made by the transfer of the Corcoran Cadet Corps, now designated as company A,“second battalion. Companies B and C were transferred to the third bat- talion on the Ist instant. The Fencibles will be given the quarters in the new armory building which were originally in- tended for the second battalion. These comprise six large rooms on the L street front of the fourth floor of the structure. ‘A large space on the floor above adjoining the pistol gallery will be set aside as a locker room. The rooms on the fourth ficor will be handsomely furnished, and will comprise a_ reception room, an’ officers’ rcom, an office for the commanding officer, a library, a writing room and a billiard rcom. At the meeting last evening, after free discussion, the company unanimously in- dorsed the proposition as submitted. Ac- tive steps toward recruiting will be made inimediately, and a report as to progress meade submitted at the business meeting of the cOmpany in February. Final action and plans for the new battalion will then be completed. The utmost care, as hereto- fore, will be observed in admitting new members, only applications from the most desirable class of men being considered. By March 1 next it is intended that the National Fencibles will consist of over 200 members and will be a representative bat- talion in every sense of the word. The Fencibles, The National Fencibles were organized in 1887 by Capt. Domer and a number of young men, who had previously been the originators of the National Rifles’ Cadets and later members of the National Rifles. Upon the formation of the National Guard in this city the Fencibles were among the first to enter. In 1890 the company par- ticipated in its first interstate drill, return- ing home from Kansas City with the second prize in the maiden drill and third in the interstate class- In 1891 Capt.

The company expects to defend the cup during the coming summer at either Memphis or Indianapolis. TO MAKE BIG GUNS. Krupp to Have an American Rival in Carnegie. The Carnegie Steel Company is about to branch out in the manufacture of military armament. The company is getting facts and figures preparatory to going into the manufacture of heavy guns, and Home- stead is a step nearer to becoming another Essen. An inquiry of Mr. Lovejoy brought the following statement from that gentleman: “Yes, it Is true thai we are looking into the matter of making guns. We ere gath- ering facts concerning such a departure, and the making of guns is now among tke possibilities. Much of our machinery at Homestead could be used for gun making. It has not been decided upon -lefinitely, but the company is looking into the mat- ter.” Further Mr. Lovejoy refused to be quoted, but it is as good as an official state- ment to say that the company looks for- ward to making cannon ai Homestead. The project is connected with the fact that the cempany’s armor plate contracts are expiring and will be finished in a few months. The company does not wish to leave any part of its big mills, represent- ing an investment of $4,000,000, to lie idle, and it is confidently asserted that guns may be made at Homestead just as cheap- ly as is armor plate in comparison_v-ith the cost of such manufactures at Essen, Germany. The Carnegie Company, with its tremen- dous resources, would be a powerful com- petitor of Krupp and,of the Bethlehem Steel Company, which has been making guns for the government several years. It is said that the company would expect orders from France and Russia and China. The fact that the Bethlehem Company is making guns is an additional incentive to the Carnegie Company, as the two con- cerns are rivals in several ways. The Carnegie Company will be the second in the United States to go into gun making, and its step will be a distinct advance in Amer- ican manufacture. The Carnegie Company will make guns of the heaviest pattern. Great presses, drills and shaping tools of many kinds are among the outfit of the Homestead armor mills. It is estimated that an expenditure of $500,000 would be amply sufficient to cover the cest of improvements needed, and this sum would be a mere bagatelle to the Car- negie Company. THEY WANT GOLD BONDS. Advice of New York Business Men to the Administration. One hundred members of the New York chamber of commerce met yesterday and passed a resolution adopting the report of its committee on finance and currency, ap- pointed to consider the financial needs of the country. The resolution was put by Chairman Orr, and there was but one dis- senting vote—that of William P. St. John. The resolution ordered that copies of the report be sent to President Cleveland, Sec- retary of the Treasury Carlisle and to the finance committees of both houses in Washington immediately. The copies were mailed within an hour. After suggesting that no feasible cur- rency plan can be adopted until confidence in the stability of the national currency and the ability of the governmeat to re- deem its obligations in gold is manifested, both here and abroad, the committee in its report says: “To this end, in the judgment of your committee, there should be no further de- lay on the part of Congress in authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds bearing a rate of interest not exceed- ing 3 per cent, such bonds payable explicit- ly, principal and interest, in gold coin of the weight and fineness now fixed by law; to be used not only in maintaining the gold reserve, which is being depleted both through distrust and deficiency in treasury receipts under necessary expenditures, but also for the gradual withdrawal and can- cellation of legal tenders and treasury, notes now in circulation.” THE PITTSBURG PLAN. Another Scheme Devised to Settle the Currency Questicn. The “Pittsburg plan” concerning the currency question was unanimously adopt- ed yesterday by the Clearing House Asso- ciation at its annual meeting, and a com- mittee of three appointed to submit the scheme to Senators Camden and Quay and Congressmen Dalzell and Stone to urge its adoption by Congress. The proposition was made by J. H. Willock, president of the Second National Bank, and met the unani- mous approval of the association after a lengthy disctssion .of its merits. The essential provisions of the plan are the following amendments to the national banking act: 1. Permit national banks to issue notes to an amount uot exceeding their paid-up capital stock, but require each bank before recelving notes to deposit with the United States treasurer United States bonds of any issue, upon which they may receive notes up to the par value of said bonds. 2. Impose a tax of 1-4 of 1 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, upon the average amount of notes in circulation to defray the expenses of printing notes, ofti- cial supervision and other expenses of ihe controller's office. 8. Repeal ths provisions of the reorgati- zation and extension act of July 12, 1882, imposing limitations upon the reduction and increase of national banks’ circula- tion. 4, Authorizs the Secretary of the Treas- ury to offer for sale, from time to time, at not less than par, 2 1-2 per cent 5-20 year bonds (redeemable in five years and pzy- able in twenty years), in denominations from $50 to $10,000, to be paid for in gold, legal tenders or United States treasury notes, to an amount which, with the gold in the treasury, will be sufficient to retire all outstanding legal tenders and treasury notes, such notes to be canceled as fast as new circulation is issued to the banks. 5. Permit national banks to count na- tional bank notes as part of their legal re- serve. The other provisicns of the present na- tional bank act to rcmain unchanged. —_——__+ e+ —___- Pensions Granted.
