HEARTY GREETING T0 THE GUARDSMEN Morton Cadets and the Team in Camp. Ritle WHO WILL COMPETE a o> Special From a Staff Correspondent. SAVANNAH, Ga., May 11.—To the tune | of Dixie the Morton Cadets end the rifle teams of the District of Columbia National Guard, to say nothing of Brig. Gen. Bird W. Spencer and nine stanch Jersey rifle- men, all intimately known to the District seldiery, late yesterday afternoon came marching through Georgia. The welcome that awaited the weary, travel-stained guards’ the Washington contingent is happy in every sense of the word. Memphis last Year was hospitable, as was Little Rock in 1s#, but the folks here in Savannah, per- haps the fairest city of the south, are ex- travagantly surpessing all records as re- gards the entertainment of the Washington military. All Savannah, and Savanrah numbers some 55,000 generous souls, was much astir when the Washington train rolled into the depot at 6 o'clock last evening a little more than an hour behind the schedule figures. At that time the visitors were as- stred a welcome. The promise was pr tically demonstrated soon thereafter, and today the city ard all within it are truth- fully in the possession of the representa- tives of the District. A horoscope cast to- day would unquestionably indicate a bDril- liantly hued triumphant return home to Washington, which will probably be at 9 o'clock rext Saturday evening. z The railroad journey to Savannah was hot, distressingly dusty and seemingly ng. As Was to be expected, the ortons gave no thought to sleep ‘until about 3 a.m., although the engineers, with- out Celay after the start, successfully sought slumber. As a result of the Mor- tons’ efforts to remain awake, the Jers ment, or at least several of them, tossed ily in their berths, and Gen. Spencer is quoied as referring to the cadets as “blasted hy "although he indignantly the accusation now. In fact, a ndsaip as warm as the prevailing tem- perature has sprung up between Capt. Shil- lin command and the noted officers from mosquiteland, and now h of the latter is wearing the Morton Cadets’ colors and all are vigorous rooters for the youngsters. Arrival at Savanpah, When the train rolled into Savannah cheers arose from the squad of Mortons which had preceded the Mortons to Georgia. A few words of welcome were extended by Lieut. Cann and Secretary Harmon, and then line wes formed, “he Jerseymen to tt left of the cadets, while the engineers were loaded into "buses and driven directly to camp. The little procession, headed by a color guard bearing the Mortons’ stand of colors, passed from the station to the street and into the midst of a cheering multitude, for rea ie entire population was out, including pretty girls—and there are appar- ently none other in Savannah. The crack drill company of the to: Savannah Cadet apt. E by the way, is ci “dof judges of drill, was drawn up at present arms, and after the compliment was r turned by the visitors, the line of marc was followed over homelike asphalt street. Without a break, the sidewalks were lined With spectators, and although the appear- ance of the company was that of veterans returning from a campaign, the hand-clap- ping was constant. On reaching the Hotel De Soto, the smail Pageant stopped to permit the withdrawal of the Jerseymen, and then continued, pas: ing through the drill grounds to “Camp Gordon,” where all was-in readiness for the weary wanderers, thanks to the Cfforts of the advance squad and the drill assoc tion. vn, the who, In Camp. The engineers are encamped with the Mortens. Very thoughtfully a number of shower baths have been provided in the camp, and the luxury was gratefully and immediately induiged in. In half an hour the appearance of the Washington con- tingent had been improved as much as a thousand per cent. Next, an appetiz! supper was served in the mess hall of the camp, less than a stone’s throw from the tents of the District lads, and it is proper to note that the meal was at the expense of the association. It also invited the vis- itors to breakfast this morning. Further, the advance squad was taken completely in charge on arrival Saturday and not per- mitted to make a solitary expenditure, which inclales hauling baggage and even car fare. Savannah Is the idealization of hospitality. The camp was crowded with visitors earl In the evening. The engineers retired early, but the Mortons began preparation: to attend an informal reception tendered by their sporsor, Miss Sarah Mills, at her residence. But Capt. illing ordered ev memtLer of the ccmpany to bed at on in ccnnection therewith expressing himself Piainly to the effect that strict discipline would be maintained while in Savannah. Capt. Shilling, accompanied by Lieut. Tralles and Lieut. Robinson, called on the sponsor, were presented to her chaperon, Mrs. Julia Gibbs, and the maids of honor, Elize Rauers, Elise Hugher, Emma Hopkins, Nan Dubignon and Sallie Ha: kell, as well as the sponsors of the othe attending organizations and several local military officers. Later, under the guidance of Capt. W. Williamson and Private E. C. Mercer, both at Sea Girt last September, the Mortons’ officers were shown through the marniticent armory of the, Savannah Volunteer Guard, an edifice that caused the struct on L street, Washington, us: for si ar purposes, to fade into remote insignificance. Arrival of the Mount Plensant Boys. Sayannah’s May week really began this morning. At 5:30 Capt Shilling had the Morton Cadets astir, and soon thereafter the drill team was hard at work on the Held where the interstate contest will o: cur, and it may be timely to add that such interpretation of the drill regulations ha: never before been equaled in this vicinity, so the inhabitants say. Shortly after 9 o'clock the Mount Pleas- ant Field Band—the boys all in good shape after the long ride—and a section of the famous Indianapolis Artillery, under Capt. Curtis, were landed within a few rods of camp. The Mortons were on hand and re- turned the compliment of Saturday even- ing last by escort duty.

There will be about one hundred cadets in each party, and they are to compete in baitalion drill. The Brunswick Naval Reserves will also reach the city tomorrow. Engineers at the Range. Bright and early were the engineers astir this morning. They lost no time in get- ting to the Avondale range, two miles out vf town. Duriig the day only individual matches were shot, tomorrow the Le Renne trophy match will be fired, and as soon as it is completed the company team match will occur. Wednesday the inter- state and De Soto trophy matches will oc- cupy attention, to be followed by the inter- state regimental team match, which per- haps will be the most interesting feature of the week in point of enthusiasm. The con- solation match is set for Fri ye All during the week when the team matches are not in progress the individual matches, known as the Avondale match, all comers’ military match, Scheutzen match, Theus medal match, Bartow me- morial match, Gordon match, revolver match, pistol match and others will be open for contestants. The Jersey party includes, in addition to Gen, Spencer, Lieut. Col. Brientnall of the first regiment, Maj. D. A. Currie of the second regiment, Capt. D. L. G. Walker of the sixth regiment, Capt. T. D. Landon of the sixth regiment, Capt. J. F. Cline of the sixth regiment, Maj. R. I. Hopper, staff first brigade; Capt. W. V. Clark, I. R. P. second regiment; Lieut. A. S. Jones, sec ond regiment, and Sergt. Charles Chinn, second regiment. Gen. Spencer assures me that his men will enter only the Individual matches. Capt. Williamson hopes, however, that with the loan of two men from the District con- tingent, Jersey will enter the interstate match and that the District wiil follow suit, having sixteen men here to pick a team of twelve from. Though with little hope of wonderful achievements, Capt. Shilling has practically ided to enter a team from the Morion Cadets in_the company and consolation matches. The team will include Capt. Shil- ling, Corp. Steward, Corp. Lacey, Private Lyman and Sergt. Taylor. The Engineers’ Team. So far as is now known, the personnel of the engineers’ teams will be: Regimental match—Graham, Hutterly,Ap- pleby, Carleton, Cook and Cookson.

The Initial exercises of the week began this afternoon at the park extension, with thousands in attendance. The day, al- though very warm, was perfect. No formal exercises or ceremony of presenting spon- sors to the companies was attempted. The first feature was a sham battle or bat- tle exercise, which was thoroughly scientific from a military standpoint and unusually interesting for the ordinary spectators. Ex- hibition drills by the Indianapolis artillery and the zouave companies followed, and the afternoon proceeding wiii be brought to a close with a big dress parade, in which the Mount Pleasant Field Band, of which the people here expect much, will make its first public appearance in Savannah. As regards the rifle matches, Capt. W!l- liamson states that all the regulations will be carried out in a manner calculated to put Sea Girt to deep, rosy blushes. Visitors are steadily coming in today, and tomorrow it is expected the city will be alive with them. They are coming with their brothers, and their sisters, and their aunts, and the railroad people say they are going to put on extra trains to ac- commodate the crowds. With all classes of military entertainments by day, excit- ing rifie contests and pistol matches every day of the week, fireworks and vaudeville entertainments at night, and plenty of other interesting attractions which a visiting crowd always finds, there will be no trou- ble about all enjoying themselves, and many of them will, no doubt, go home « ni INDEX TO ADVERTISEM AMUSEMENTS CITY PPEMS.

The entire town, except a few scat- tered houses, was destroyed. Fifty fam- ilies, numbering about 300 persons, are homeless. The loss is roughly estimated at from $500,000 to $750,000. The homeless people are living in sheds hastily erected or have found réfuge at Baraga, across the bay. Saloons are in operation in the open air, dry goods boxes being used as bars.

Yesterday afternoon Policeman Fugett of the fourth precinct arrested Michael Thomas, one of the men who broke out of the Alexandria jail several days ago, and locked him up.

On the morning of February 27 last Mi- chael Thomas went to his home on South Lee street in Alexandria and there made a brutal assault upon his wife Mar: t will be remembered that he shot her three times and then struck her on the head with an ax twice, and then made his escape and ran across Hunting creek.

The Methodist Ep'scopal preachers of Washington at their meeting today in Foundry Church decided that they could not take any action toward securing the employment of members of organized la- bor on the new buildings of the propuscd American University. As was stated in The Star of Mon @ committee was appointed to consider a communication from Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legislative committee of the local Federation of Labor, requesting the ministers to use their influence with the building committee to attain the object stated. The most important part of the commit- tee's report was as foliows: “We have the utmost confidence in the representatives cf the American University appointed to ar- range such matters as are referred te in Mr. Blake’s communication. We are sure that, like ourselves, they have a genuine sympathy with all just demands of labor within the District or elsewhere. Not hav- ing, however, any information that would justify us in interfering with the affairs of the university, we deem it best not to do so.”” Rev. Dr. George V. Leech read a paper entitled ‘What Should Be the Attitude of the Church on the Great Question Before the General Conference at the Present Time?” Dr. Leech reviewed the action of the general conference on the woman qu tion and said that it was certain now that woman would come into the highest body legally, but he severely criticised the ac- tion of the ladies who presumed to take their seats in the present conference at Cleveland, when they were aware they had not been legally elected. The paper was discussed by Revs. Drs. Ames, Stiit, O. A. Brown, Hobbs, Walsh and Chapman, and, pending the remarks of the latter, the hour of adjournment arrived, and Dr.’Chapman suspended his remarks until the next meet- ing. At today’s session Dr. Stitt presided, and in the absence of Secretary Bielaski, Mr. Van Arsdale was elected acting secre- tary. y last, es Didn't Agree With ‘’Rastus.
