The boys had worked so hard and were so ecrfident of victory that the ultimatum of the judges was little short of a thunder- bolt. A rumor that the Governor's Guard was the winner reached the Mortcns about an hour prior to the official announcement, and althovch from an_authentic source, the majority of the Washington party could not believe it.

In the matter of drill itself the Governor's Guard are palpably inferior, and they were never for a moment considered in the prize list. Lieut.

Had it devoted months to preparation, the Washington company could not have made a superior showing in inspection than that last Thurs- day morning. Such being assured, the company must have been scored because four cadets were prostrated by the terrific heat and fell unconscious to the ground. Interpretation of the Program. In regard to the interpretation of the Jenkins, adjutant of the 5th United States Cavalry, who pre- pared the drill program, and who observed from the grand stand the exhibition of the Mortons, said to me in all sincerity that Captain Shilling read the paper correctly 4] and precisely as it was intended. The fact that such experienced drill masters as 5| Captain Shilling, Captain Foye of the Thurstons, Captain Boyd of the Sealys, 4| Captain Bean of Minnesota and Captain McAdoo of the Belknaps read the program differently -from Captain Roberdeau of the 4] Governor's Guard, and were all declared at +) rault, strengthens the belief that the board of judges who offictated at San Antonio differ visibly in their construction of tac- tical points from the boards that did the marking at Omaha, Little Rock, Memphis, and, in fact, every interstate drill since the 3 | adoption of the 1891 regulations. 5] Lieut. Grote remarked that Capt. Shilling, 4 | all In all, was unquestionably the mos: able 4] captain to appear in the field. It may be announced from an unbiased standpoint that the Mortons lost the championship through an accident. The accident consist- ed in the judges differing In their views from the recognized experts in things tac- tical. The Mortons followed the interpre- tations that won the cup at Omaha, Little Rock and Savannah and three prizes at Memphis. The Governor's Guards have won it here, putting up e drill that did not compare in any way with that of the Mor- tens or Sealys. Competitive Drill a Lottery. It all goes to show that interstate com: petitive drilling is a lottery, pure and sim- ple. The Morton Cadets last Thursday gave the finest exhibition of drilling ever seen in any drill ffeld. At Memphis they excelled all competitors in drill, but failed to take the cup because of inspection. Al- though Capt. Shilling and every cadet is almost heartbroken, because they confident- ly expected first prize, it must not be over- looked that the winning of second prize in this drill means practically as much as first victory in any preceding contest. The Mortons finished ahead of such famous teams as the Sealys, Company D of Min- nesota, the Thurstons and the Belknans, all of whom drilled in unprecedented form. ‘| Defeat at the hands of any of those men- 4| tioned was to be expected other than from 4} the Governor's Guard. 4 The famous Thurston Rifles, champions of the Memphis drill, who threatened to make the Mortons eat crow here; Company 4 7 3 4 Patrick Cannon ef No. 1004 Pennsylvania | D of Minnesota, second prize winner of the avenue notthwest states that nobody of the E.

A special trip is to be made this after- noon to Galveston, and, notwithstanding the delay, the boys will arrive at Washing- ten Wednesday night. GQ Foc. A ROUSI RECEPTION, The Morton Cadets Will Get 2 Warm Welcome When They Return. The announcement made here last even- ing, through The Star's bulletin, that the Morton Cadets had been awarded second place occasioned as great surprise as it id disappointment, for the belief was gen- eral that the boys would take the first prize by a comfortable margin. This sur- prise of the stay-at-home members and the District National Guard in general was heightened when it was learned that the Mortons had been beaten by the Governor's Guards of Austin, Tex., a company which had been regarded as a rank outsider. The disappointment was intensified when it was reported that but for a technical mis- take th> boys would have landed in first place. The ex-champions will reach home Wed- nesday night, and despite the fact that they will not bring back the cup, they will be received in such a manner as will con- vince them that they are first at least in the hearis and esteem of their own peopie. ‘The stay-at-home Mortons are preparing a rousing reception for their comrades when they get home. A committee of ten, of which Messrs. C. R. Yeatman, T. J. Poweil and A. Gilman are the moving spirits, has taken the matter in charge. Invitations have been extended to all the battalions of the National Guard to participate in the escort, and the majors of the battalions have been requested to invite each com- pany. An endeavor will be made to have Gen. Ordway order the entire National Guard of the District to participate. Subscriptions will be asked from the busi- ness men and citizens generally to defray the expenses of a banquet to be given to the drill company on the night of its re- turn, and the few already requested to sub- seribe have generously responded. There will be about thirty-five invited guests at the entertainment, and with the Mortons themselves and their stay-at-home com- rades about 100 persons will be present. —.-——_ CALLED FOR HIS MONEY. Martin Shoemaker Makes Demand at the Post Office for $100,000. If Martin Shoemaker had heard of the Alaska gold find instead of imagining Uncle Sam owed him a million dollars, he would probably be on his way to the gold fields instead of occupying a prison cell in this city. Laboring under this belief, the supposed insane man called at the city post office this morning and wanted $100,000 of the amount. Instead of getting the money he got arrested by Policeman Brennan, and now he may have to go to the asylum. ‘The man has a naturally loud and harsh voice, and when he called at the post office and made the demand for part of the money he claimed, he succeeded in attract- ing the attention of the people who were there attending to business. According to the man’s statement he has been in this country only a short time, coming here from Holland. From New York he says he went across the river to Brooklyn, and there he worked at his trade. Now he seems to imagine that the government owes him a million dollars for property, one hundred thousand of the amount to be paid down. ‘When he reached the city post office he called on Mr. Bergman, who was in charge of the bureau of information, and stated his case. The money owed him he said had been made payable at the post office, and he became rather indignant when told ‘that there was no money in the post office to his credit. Mr. Bergman soon realized that the’man was either a crank or crazy, and, to satisfy him, told him he would have the check for him in ten minutes. Before leaving, however, Shoemaker gave the information that if he did not get the money he would appeal to President Mc- Kinley, for he said they were personal friends. And, he added, he had an engage- ment with the Fecstient ot 1 o'clock, inde- pendent of this transaction. “I'll be back,” he said, as he left the building. But he did not go far, for he re- mained on the curbstone, evidently intend- ing to return at the expiration of the ten NOT THE COLD BUT GOLD Local Weather Conditions Not Such as to Drive Men to Alaska. Prevailing Temperatnre Moderate and Humanity Not Soffering— Gen. Humidity is Resting. If a man states that it is not the gold but the cold which is’ in@ucing him to leave Washington for Alaska it is simply a subterfuge. While it ij considerably warmer ‘here now than-it has been for several doys, the weather is not in the least unbearable. Gen.“ Humidity has not yet been able to join his forges with those of Gen. Debility, Col. “High” and Major “Low’ to rack sufferimg Rumanity, and life here is not such as to discourage any one from remaining. The fact of the matter is, there is so much talk at present of Alaska, tempera- tures of fifty and sixty degrees below zero, Prof. Andree and his trip’ to the north pole that it is useless for any exceedingly warm wave to hght in the vicinity of Washington, “Acquaintanceship makes things closer,” the weather man said today, nd if all this arctic region talk continues we will be sending; out minimum temperatures al- together instead of combining the grades. It may revolutionize things so that we will hav a water in December and sealskins in September. Showers Tonight. The weather indications for the District of Columbia are for local showers tonight and Tu easterly winds. The tempera- ture At 4 o'clock this morning the temperature was 71 degrees, and the mercury had climbed up six notches by § o'clock, which was only one degree higher than it was at midnight. At noon today the old reliable thermometer at the weather bureau regis- tered only 50 degrees. The thermometer registered only 8S de- grees in Washington yesterdey, which, with a breeze continuing steadily the greater part of the day, made the conditions much better than they would have been other- wise. Out of the sun, where the air could get a fair sweep, near a fountain, was a first-class imiiation of a yachting trip along the Atlantic shores. The mercury took century runs yesterday in both Abilene, Tex., a Little Rock, Ark. Other warm places were Palestine, Tex., where the thermometer registered 98 degrees, and Montgomery, Ala.; Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., respectively, where it reached 94 degrecs. Onc Prostration. At the Emergency Hospital yesterday there was one case of exhaustion produced by the heat. Katie Tibbs, colored, a laun- dress, whe resides at No, 1017 9th street northwest, was overcome shortly before noon near her home. She was taken to the hospital in the patrol wagon of the first precinct, where she was attended by Dr. Jueneman and soon recovered. ———— HEALTH OFFICE CHIEF.

Church, spoke upon the subject, “Are There Modern Miracles?” the thought of the sermon Leing that miracles were only performed to attest the authority of mes- sengers from God. “Backward Glances at Toronto,” a review of the recent Epworth League convention, was the subject of Frank E. Woodward at the Epworth M. E. Church last night. Rev. Dr. Clark preached an interesting sermon at Foundry M. E. Church yesier- day mcrning, his subject being “The Salt of the Earth.” President McKinley listened to an inter- esting sermon by Rev. George B.

Lutheran Ministers Invite the Mary- land Synod to Meet in Washington. A special meeting of the Lutheran Min- isterlal Association was held this morning in the lecture room of St. Paul’s English Lutheran Church, corner of llth and H streets northwest, to consider the question of whether or not the annual meeting of the Maryland synod of the Lutheran Church shal be held in this city. Favor- able action was taken in the matter, and if nothing happens between now and then the synod will convene in this city Tuesday, October 12. A previous meeting of the Min- isterial Association had been held last Mon- day at the same place, and this and the meeting this morning developed the fact that there will be some interesting ques- tions which will come up for discussion at the gathering of the synod. It seems that at a meeting of the eastern conference held at Catonsvilie, Md., about six weeks ago a resolution was offered by Rev. Dr. Parson of this city and carried by the conference, the sense of which was that if by the Ist of September the president of the confe>- ence could not find a city or church will- ing to entertain the delegates to the synod, then the synod meeting should be held in a designated place and the delegates pay their own expenses. The middle and west- ern conferences of the synod took the oppo- site view of the matter and put themselves on record against any proposition which would have the effect of making the dele- gates pay for their own entertainment. This being the case, the ministevs of this city have thought it unwise to carry out the idea which they voted favorably upon just now, and consequently ihe synod is to gather here. This is not likely to end the matter, though, and it is expected that the discas- sion on this subject, which has been going on for several months, will result in a proposition being made to divide the synod into two synods. It has been suggested that the two cities of Washington and Bal- tumore form one synod, with probably Bal- timore county and one or two others, and the rest of Maryland and the one or two churches in Pennsylvania the other. .There are about one hundred and ten churches in the synod, and consequently the cost of entertaining the delegates is somewhat of a burden, so much so, in fact, that outside of the two large cities the synod has very scldom met elsewhere. The country churches may be expected to oppose any such proposition embracing the two cities in one synod, and consequently an interest- ing discussion may be looked forward to on the subject of entertaining the synod. The president, Rev. C. S. Trump of Martins- burg, has been indefatigable in his efforts to find a place for the synod to meet, but has been unsuccessful. The other question that may be expected to provoke discussion is the report of the committee appointed to investigate the matter of the removal of Rev. Dr. H. L. Baugher from his position as professor of Greek at the Gettysburg Seminary. The committee is composed of Rev. Drs. W. E. Parson and Samuel Domer of this city and O. L. Roth of Baltimore, allefriends of Dr. Baugher, and they have finished their in- vestigations, and the report is practically completed. The committee were present at two meetings of the board of directors of Gettysburg—one held the first of the year and the other in June—and from what they were able to learn then and from cise- where. they have gathered materials for the report. Though the report will not be made public until at the meetirg of the synod, still it will undoubtedly be favorable to the doctor: Nothing can be done to re- instate Dr. Baugher in his old position, and he would probably not take it if he could get it; therefore, the committee have lim- ited themselves to statifig what they find to be the facts in the case, and concluding with their opinion of the matter. a ‘Transfers of Real Estate.
