The Exercises at Base Ball Park, In- ter fed Last Evening, Will Be Resumed Today. An exaggerated outburst of enthusiasm and the initial outdoor company competi- tive drill of the colored High School Ca- dets were simultaneously and perempio- rily checked at National Base Ball Park yesterday afternoon by the heavy storm that passed over Washington. Company B, the second organization to take the Capt. Burgess. field, had almost completed the drill pro- gram when the downpour forced every- body to seck shelter. As there was no prospect of the rain ceasing, it was an- nounced that the competition would be concluded this afternoon, when Company B is to take up the movements not ex- ecuted yesterday, and Company C will ap- pear before the spectators. At the con- clusion of the drill of the latter company the award by the judges will be in order. A truly inspiring sight met the eye at the park yesterday afternoon, and not even at the most exciting of base bali games has a gathering displayed more anima’ Probably eight thousand persons had a sembled to see the ng Soldiers strive for plaudits and prizes. All the girls of the High School were there, of course, as well as their friends. The parents of the young soldiers, as might be expected, were also present. In fact, it seemed as though the entire colored population of the city had found its way to the inclosure, and it made itself heard. Girls in Spring Costames. The zirls were dressed in their best— bright spring costumes predominating— and everybody carried the colors of his or her favorite company. Ribbons were wayed from canes and parasols, while at intervals immense streamers and fia t. Ray. breeze. The bugle and tin horn, to say nothing of the “yell” of the High School boy, were very much in evidence. Superintendent Powell, Superintendent Cook, Trustee Shadd and several other prominent school officials. were notived among the spectators, while the majori of the prominent colored citizens of the Di trict were interested onlookers. Quite a number of the cadets of the white High Schoois were present, as were many offi- cers of the District National Guard. The Drill Opens. After several selections by the Capital City Band, the judges of the drill, Maj. Charles H. Ourand, inspector general, Dis- trict of Columbia militia; Capt. William Edward Horton, aid-de-camp, District of Columbia militia, and Capt. Eugene C. Ed- wards, Company A, 2d Battalion, District -National Guard, appeared on the field, fol- lowed a moment later by Company A, Capt. Frank H. Burgess. The dark red and blue waved supreme, the rooters for the company shouting themselves hoarse. Halting in the center of the base bail dia- mond, Company A presented arms and re- Capt. White. ported to Maj. Ourand, the chairman of the board of judges. Moving back fifty feet, the company was put through the setting-up exercises. The manual of arms followed, and next in order were the foot movements. Company A displayed really creditable efficiency,and was rewarded with a storm of applause as Capt. Burgess marched his command to the grand stand and again presented arms to the judges. The company left the field to the strains of an inspiring march. At the same time Company B, under Capt. A. M. Ray, ap- peared. A Signal for Yells. Company B seemed to be even a greater favorite than its predecessor, and its every movement was the signal for Indian yells and other forms of extreme enthusiasm on the part of its friends. The firings with blank cartridges by this company were par- ticularly well executed, and Capt. Ray see to have everything his own way when ominous black clouds darkened the sky. Then ‘there was a hurrying and scurrying on the part of the prettily attired ones in the stand, and a general exodus was in progress when the clouds suddenly opened. Company B was forced to retreat, and the exercises were at an end for the day, it being some time before the rain diminished to a degree that would admit of the Eber’ tators leaving the shelter of the Proficiency attained by ti “company of the battalion, Company piel oe Sliema Doge te sim eg After the announcement by the —— the pre: JUS?

Three metallurgical experts, selected by the Secre of the Treasury for the pur- pose, have just conciuded an exhaustive ries of experiments with a process in- vented by a man named £. C. Brice, which, he claims, will produce or create silver and gold from the baser metals, including chemically pure antimony. Mr. Brice ap- plied for a patent on his invention, and application was held up pending an invest gation as to the merits of his alleged di cove The experiments were conducted in the laboratory attached to the Treasury Department by a committee, consisting of Andrew Mason, superintefident of the New York assay office, D. K. Tuttle, melter and refiner at the Philadelphia mint, and Ca- bell Whitehead, assayer at the Washington mint pureau. They had great difficulty in securing antimony and lead which did not le quantities of gold and contain appreck silver. The experiments were conducted strictly according to Mr. Brice’s directions and w der his persona 1 supervision, notwithstan: to the report of the sative resuits were ob- The report gives a detailed account of the operations to test the process, and sums up the results as follows: “During these experiments, which hi now extended over some three weeks, an have involved an amount of painstakir labor which we hope has not been entireiy wasted, we have seen not the slightest evidence of any creation or transmutation. On the contrary, the claimant failed in every instance to recover the entire amount of silver and gold known to be present in the materials. The claimant seems to have devised a variety of irrational and wasteful methods for recovering a portion of the silver and gold known to metatlurgists as being present in many commercial metals, such as antimony and lead.” What Mr. Brice Says. Mr. E. C. Brice, in conversation with a Star reporter today, said: “At the request of the commixsioner of patents the Secre- tary of the Treasury directed a commis- sion of his subordinates to test a process for creating gold and silver from base metals, an application for patent for which Was filed in the patent office by me. “The first day’s tests were made by mo under two of my processes with positive and favorable results. The commission alone tried the process and failed. They insisted upon using tartar emetic, a salt of antimony, which they were pos'tively teld-not-to use, and-which they were toll = - to the process. They wer to use a special apparatus, wh meen] -yield best results, but refused for fear of explosion, though they were sured that such had been in successful for some time. The commission did not at any time either complete the process nor proceed under it according to my in- structions. When they persisted in using tartar emetic, and I protested against its use, they refused to proceed further. “These tests were not sought by :ne, government for another on account of bet. ter facilities, and I am neither for the miscarriage of the tests nor for | the abortive attempts made by a commis- sion refusing to carry out my process. 4 .
