POSSIBLE CHANGE DISCUSSING A What is Talked About in the Vari- ous Company Quarters. | | ee NOTES OF INTEREST ——S The presé during th ins, ence at the District building past week of Mr. son Hutch- ee Hutchins and Mr. David Tow- ers, senting the interests of the Na- tional Guard Armory and Convention Hall, | it also Gen. William Birney of the Center Market serts of Company, has given rise to all rumors, not the least interesfing being the possibility that the brigade, or the greater portion of ft, may vacate the quarters at 446 L street and return to its old love, the rooms above the Center mar- ket The drill hall question, which has beer in such a vacillating state for a year past, again becomes the center of interest be- cause of the rapid approach of the date when it is desired to reopen the ice skat- ing rink in Convention Hall. Since October 1 the Guard has had the use of Convention Hiall on the evenings specified in the con- tract—Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturda: Now, it is understood, the management of valace desires that the rink, at the .

In support of that course, it may be repeated that but a small percentage of the men will report for the drills that are held on the ice. Not only do they object to the cold and condition of dampness under fcot, but to the alleged dangerous pneu- monia-charged atmesphere, which, they is due to the presence of the ice, Above , the state of affairs affords the men an excuse to absent themselves from drills, which they would not otherwise have. Again, it is stated as a fact that the hall is never opened to the Guard on the nights assigned to it until 8 o'clock, although the centract specifies 6 o'clock as the hour. Tuesday last the doors were not unlocked until 8: o'clock. The quality and quan- tity of the light and heat both in the hall and armory is of such a limited character, is so generally known, and has been so of- ten spoken of as to make further comment at this time unnecessary. “Here's a howdy-do,” may very properly be sung, in case the centract is abrogated. If it is done, the question, and an import- ant one it is, to be answered, is: “How shail the lack of facilities for drilling be met?" It is entirely Gut of the question to consider for a moment a proposition that has been submitted to transport the troops of the National Guard to a hall remote frcm the L street armory fer drill. The time lost and the inconvenience occasioned Must necessarily prove fatal to the success- ful operation of such a plan. When the L street armory was erected for the Guard, the use of Convention Hall for dri!l pur- poses was a most important factor. Should the drill hall be given up, the armory might be truthfully likened to a wagon without a horse. Center Market Hall. An offer has been made which, in view of the expected situation on L street, gives stme foundation for the rumor that a re- turn of the brigade to the Center market qvarters is among the possibilities. Gen. William Birney, authentic report has it, was granted a hearing by the Commission- ers immediately after the departure Wed- vesday last of the Convention Hall man- agers from the District building. Birney, it is caid, cffered the Center : quarters, with the sole use of the Central Hali, over the Sth street wing of the m: r- ket, to the guard at the figure formerly paid, believed to be about 36,0 per an- num. This includes light and heat, and the promise was made that the rooms 1 be placed in excell that any request wit, be asked would be ¢ nt condition and hin reason that might ebeerfully granted. It significant faet that mission 30 :t is said, remarked Gen. Birney, in replying to the cffer “Had Mr. Hutchins stated definitely he would consent to an abrogation of contract, we might give consideration your proposition,” or words is pointed out as a Commissioner Ros: to that mediately to to that effect. Cony reom s of the os ‘ation at random in the company ows pretty conclusively that most men would welcome an order to re- to the Center Market Armory. The f objection all along to the I. street rmory kas been that it is not central and venient of access, while the Center et quariers are down town, convenient to the theaters and gatisfactory io every one. Company commanders, as a rule, have also complained that the transfer of the armory to the present location was fol. lowed by a noticeable and serious faliing ft in the membership of their commands yom which they have never recovered, Members of certain organizations that have recently expended large of money in beautifying the wall, their rooms at the armory state that they would Hingly and gladly stand the loss an as- signment to other quarters would entail’ Ic is argued further that the troops now housed in the L street structure could he comfortably accommodated at the Center market. with the possible exception of the Light Battery and offices of the general staff, and no trouble would be experienced these organi- in finding suitable shelter for zations A rifle gallery, say could be arranged in a jiffy over the 7th street wing of the market. Then, it is ex- plained, a mobilization of the troops, tu in clude the Ist Battalion and Companies [ and 1 Battalion, could be more expe- ditiously and simply effected at the Center twarket than at the L street building. Fur thermore, the rental of the latter and Con- vention Hal’ is believed to be about 311,000 per annum, while that of the former would be about $6,000. the knowing ones, Brigade Team at Sea Girt. The exclusive siatement in The Star last Saturday to the effect that the annual visits of a brigade team to Sea Girt would probably be discontinued cau: not a lit- Ue discussion in National Guard circles, and, in some instances, expression of doubt. very highest authority. The the yearly jaunts to Sea doi be an extremely bitter eral guardsmen to swallow and readiness not to 2c statements to that effect. The publication in The Star wus based on a conversation last week be- tween r Geo. H. Harries,in tor gen- ractice, and the brigade team tin,and Col. Theodore Mosher, adjutant The publication was based on the abolition of t weulc ro for sev- hence their general, in the presence of a Star reporter. Major Harries at the time siated that he was seriously considering the advisability of deing away with the brigade team, and that such would probably be the action taken. So far as is known no change in the situation has occurred, and therefore it may be reiterated that there is every rea- son to believe that upon the return to the city ef the commanding general, the in- spector genera! of rifle practice will recom- mend that the annual visits of a brigade team, repre % ihe District National Guard, to Sea Girt be discontiaued. Presentation of Decorations. ‘The rifle practice decorations for 1st an 1805 will be formaily presented to tho members of the 24 Regiment entitled to bars, crosses and buttons at an essembiy of the regiment in Convention Ha!l Tues- day evening next. Lieut. Col. M. Urell has ordered the regiment to Vie at S:15 o'clock in line of ma ses, facing eart. The presentation is to occur z o'clock, and will be made by Col. C Clay, wko is in command of the brigade during the absence of Gen. Ordway. The Second Regiment Band is to be in attend- arce, and the affair will undoubtedly prove of more than passing interest, and attract a large concourse of spectators. ‘To Discass Efficiency Prien. A meeting of the commissioned officers of the guard has been called for Wetinesday evening, Novemter 18, at 8 o'clock in tae lecture room of the armory to consider and perfect a plan for increasing the efficiency of the guard. All officers are earnestly re- quested by those interested in the move- ment to be present. It is cxnected that the board of officers to judge and determine the winners of the prizes for general-efficiency in the proposed competition wiil consist of Maj. Winthrop Alexander, inspector general; Capts. Wil- Mam Edward Horton and Charles H. Our- and of the generat staff, and all the quar- termasters and adjutants of the brigade. The meeting on the 18th instant will be calle? to order by First Lieutenant J. Bruce Webb. quartermaster 2d Battalion, who is the eriginator of and prime mover in the proposed competition. He will ex- plain brietly his ideas and then suggest the election of a temporary chairman. A general discussion of the sabject wil! next be in order.

Drill With Thoroughness. General orders No. 9, just issued from the headquarters of the District of Columbia militia, lead off with the following perti- nent paragraph: “Personal observation has shown the colonel commanding that drills have not heen taken up by the majority of the or- ganizations in the Guard with such prompt- uess and thoroughness as should character- ize the opening of the season for indoor work. Commanding officers are directed to use every effort to properly carry out the system of indoor drill and exercise neces- sary to keep the Guard upon the proper footing. The drill hall has been open for work since October 1, and there is no ex- cuse for non-attendance on drill.” Organtzation of Riflemen. ‘Those riflemen who expect to visit Chica- go next June for the purpose of particlpat- ing in the big schuetzen matches, to be held in ihe windy city, have effected an or- ganization, with Dr. 8. I. Scott as tempo- rary chairman; F. L. Graham, temporary secretary; Messrs. Farrow, Holt and Gra- ham # committee on consiltution and by- laws, and Capt. J. E.

According to ad- vices received by friends in this city, he is improving steadily, but not with suffi- cient rapidity to satisfy himself. ‘The prob- abilities are that he will not return to Washington by the 15th or 20th instant, as was his original intention.
