:-THE EVENING STAR, THE NATIONAL GUARD No Appointments Yet of Major of Second and Fourth Battalions. PETITIONS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY Brigade Band to Be a Model Mili- tary Organization. COMPANY MATCH es SCORES The chief matters of interest at present, so far as concerns the District of Columbia National Guard, are in connection with the vacancies of major of the 2d and 4th Bat- talions. ‘These matters are of more than passing interest, for they not only involve the position named in each battalion, but the entire battalion staff as well. As soon as an appointment is made, the members of he staff will tender their resignations, as staff positions are purely personal appoint- ments. The new battalion commander may -pt or retugn the resignations of any or all, as he may see fit. Among those who have been suggested to succeed to the majority of the 2d Bat- talion Is Maj. Charles H.*Ourand, inspector general of the District militia. Maj. Ourand had long experience as a company com- mander in the Ist Battalion and was an aid-de-camp on the general staff before ad- vancing to his present position. No better ofiicer could be suggested, perhaps, for the vacancy, and. furthermore, his appoint- ment is urged by a majority of the com- pany commanders of the 2d Battalion. It may be stated authoritatively, however, that Maj. Ourand will remain right where he is on the general staff. He is needed there and has no inclination to assume command of a battalion. Quite a number of other possibilities have been named, in- cluding officers and ex-officers of the guard and civilians. Certain officers of the 24 Regiment have circulated as fact during the week that Captain F. S, Hodgson, at present one of the supernumerary officers, had been se- leeted to succeed Major E. R. Campbell to the command of the 4th Battalion. The Statement was made without foundation, for it is understood Colonel Ureli desires Captain Hodgson to be quartermaster of the 2d Regiment, when Captain Parmenter is commissioned as major and quartermaster neral of the District militia, as it is practically certain will be the case not later than next February. The truth of the matter is no steps of @ definite nature have been taken in regard to filling these battalion vacancies. As heretofore stated the company com- manders are to be consulted, and when the proper time arrives the best men availale are to be nominated. Petitions Arc Unnecessary. It i that some enthusiastic fvardsmen circulating petitions and securing signatures thereto, urging the ap- by the brigadier general com- manding of certain individuals whose qual- et forth in glowing terms it may be wholly unneces act providing for the or- the District National Guard ments and by the com- understood Zers will be relied upon, that an agreement can- ppointments will be made best interests of the bat- > brigade.

Gen. Harries bas sent the following nomi- vations Emmet Urell ment; Maj to the President: Lieut. Col. M. to be colonel of the 2d Regi Richard A. O'Brien, to be lieu- nel of the 2d Regiment; Capt. James E. Bell, to be major and inspector general of riffe practice, District of Colum- bia militia; Capt. Arthur Brooks, to be ma- jor of the Separate Battalion; C. Fred Cook to be captain and aid-de-camp, Dis- columbia militia, and First Lieut. Shaw, to be cap in and inspec- of rifle practice of the 2d Regiment. A large number of nominations forwarded by Col, Clay shortly before he tendered his resignation, by the direction of the Seer y of War, were referred to Gen.

National Guard Brigade Bana. One of the best known organizations of the District National Guard is the brigade bend, which was reorganized last spring, just prior to the annual encampment, and at once established its popularity among the officers and men of the guard and the Nisitors who attended its concerts at Camp Washington. Its work was one of the feat- ures cf the outing of the National Guard, and in spite of the short time allotted to such an important undertaking as the or- ganization and training of a complete mili- tary band, 2 most pronounced success was 201 achieved. ‘Tre work ‘Of ‘organizing, drilling and training the jd was intrusted to First Licut. Donala MacLeccd, who was at that time a company officer in the 2d Regi- ment, and had also served of ‘the regimen- tal staff. He also organized and directed the 2d Regiment Band unttfl it was discon- tinued and merged into the brigade band. Lieut. MacLeod has had a wide experience in orchestral and band work, both as di- rector and composer, and his compositions have been frequently performed by promi- nent musical organizations. When Brigadier General Harries assumed command of the brigade it was determined to increase the number of: players and or- ganize a first-class military and concert band and orchestra, complete in every de- tail, ranking with the most_ successful bands elsewhere. It was also decided that Lieut. McLeod should forego other military duties, and confine his attention to the es- tablishment of the band upon an enduring basis, in which effort he has the cordial co- operation and support of the entire Na- tional Guard. Loca! civilian bands have from time to time come into existence, with varying suc- First Lieut. D. B. MacLeod. cess, the financial feature being the bond of union, but in the brigade band the pe- cuniary considerations are to be subordi- nated to the artistic. The band occupies commodious quarters in the National Guard Armory, where regu- lar weekly rehearsals are held, and where friends are always welcome to see and hear for themselves what is being done. Instru- ments, music and a complete outfit of new and idsome uniforms for all occasions have been furnished by the general gov- ernment, but no expenditure of money is made directly for the band, except on oc- casions of parade with the brigade or dur- ing the summer encampment. It is proposed during February next to give the first of a series of concerts, when the band will make its bow to the public as a full military and concert organization. One or two standard classic numbers will be rendered, but the program will be se- lected largely from the lighter and more popular music of the day. The concert will take place at one of the principal theaters, and the entire National Guard will be invi ed to attend. An intere: z the brigade band’s work is the string or- chestra, which has lately been forni and which has a present membership of twenty- five players. Ail enlistments now being made are of performers who play two or more instruments, and who are conseque ly available for both band and orche: work. poten. First Lieut. Donald B.

Refuse to Suspend Sealing and Sug- seat a Joint Commission, The correspondence which has passed be- tween Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier, and Mr. Foster, the American ne- gotiator, touching the seal negitiations since the Washington conference last month, has just been made public. It con- sists of two letters. In the first, dated Ottawa, November 24, Sir Wilfrid Laurier passes upon the propo- sition from our government which was taken back to Canada by him at the con- clusion of the conference. He says he is willing to enter at once upon a review of the whole seal question, though the Paris award was made revisable only at the end of five years, provided the other questions of importance to the two countries—immi- gration, reciprocity, fish protection, et be considered at the same time. He de- clines, however, to suspend sealing meat time, on the ground that the fléet would be dissipated entirely; that the owners of vessels would be entitled to compensation beyend the disposition of parliament to vote, and, finally, that, as shown by the experts’ report, there is now a tendency toward equilibrium in the maintenance of the seal herd. He suggests that if a joint commission to consider all questions at is- sue, including this, be at once appointed it would be possible to secure the necessary legislation from parliament at the Febru- ary session and from Congress during the present session to insure ghe execution of any recommendation with regard to Bering sea next season. The second letter is from Mr. Foster to Sir Wilirid, dated Washington, December aM ‘oster s that Sir Wilfrid’s is a declination of his proposition, and a re- newal of the Caradian proposition made at the conference, and the President de- clines to reverse his position on that point. Should the herd reach the equilibrium pointed out by Sir Wilfrid it will have passed the period when negotiations will be of any avail, besides, as the United States will be put to the expense of $15,000 to maintain the patrol next year, pelagic ealing ought to be voluntarily given up, because it is unneighborly and inhumane. Mr. Foster expresses regret that Sir Wilfrid's visit to Washington gives so little promise of satisfactory results, but entertains the hope that it may yet bear good fruits. It has developed that the bill relating to pelagic sealing, which has just passed both branches of Congress and is before the President, contains a provision of far- reaching importance, which has thus far escaped attention. This places an absolute prohibiticn on the further bringing of sealskins into the United States from any source whatever. As the United States iz the largest market in the world for seal- skins, this complete stoppage of the trade im this country will be a severe measure against the British and Canadian indus- tries, which take and cure the skins and then dispose of them largely in the United States. —_—_—-e.

Two Washington young men started westward yesterday to grow up-with the country, as members of a co-operative colony with socialistic tendencies, which has been established in the southwestern part of Colorado. The young men re- ferred to are William Kent, son of Rev. Alexander Kent, and Carl E. Julihn, son of Dr. Julihn, a local physician. Neither is yet twenty-one years of age, and both graduated from the local Central High School last June. Both have been ardent students of political economy during their school life, and since completing their Studies in theory, have been longing to put their ideas of advanced government into actual operation. The most promising field was found with the colony mentioned, and they resolved to become full fledged members of the community. They will ar- rive there next week, and will at once enter upon the new relation as citizens of a community where ail work for all, and none for self. This colony is located in the southwest part of Montrose county, fifty miles south of the town of Montrose. The town al- ready established by the colony has been named: Pinon. A tract of government land has been acquired by the colony, which is known as the Colorado Co-operative Company, and each person becoming a member of thé community is entitled to take up land under the homestead grant act, by paying the nominal purchase price to the government. It is the intention of Messrs. Julihn and Kent to take up land as soon as each becomes of age, each cul- culating to acquire forty acres, and in time transform it into a paying ranch. Inducements Presented. The inducements held out to persons to become members of this community are the acquisition of land and the working of it to the advantage of all concerned. The location made by the company is an {deal one, and the soil is as rich as any in Colorado, but in order to improve it, the company is building an immense ditch, fifteen miles long, for irrigation purposes. When this water is available, the land of the community is expected to be worth five or six times what it is now. Each member of the community working on the ditch receives, in return, the water right to his forty acres, and, in addition, the number of days each mem- ber works is placed to his credit, so that if he wishes a greater water right, he has only to exert himself more. The land is well adapted for the raising of fruit and grain. The fruit of Montrose county, it is said, compares favorably with that of California, and the climate ts very much the same as California. One part of the plan of the colony ts that all officers, who are chosen by the mem- bers, have to do as much work as the rank and file, and receive only the same credits for their work as any other laborer. The town is as yet small, and no difficult problems of local self-government have presented themselves. Yet the scheme is such that no matter how many men en- roll themselves as seekers after homes in the community, there will be perfect © tem in the allottment of lands and in the administration of affairs. The members of the community, however, are very careful not to admit persons of doubtful charac- ter, or the idle and vicious, to membezship. They emphasize the fact that there is no use for the adventurer, the anarchist, the lazy or those seeking something for noth- ing. All on a Level. All men have to work alike, and if each lives up to the conditions demanded of him he stands in to make a good, comfortable home in a fertile country, which gives promise of rapid development in the near future, As yet the country is not opened to railroad traffic, the nearest town being Montrose, reached by the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, and from which teams freight to Pinon once a week. Messrs. Kent and Julihn will reach Montrose in all probability in time to catch the freight Wagons to Pinon next week. They expect y or so in Chicago, in order to me necessary materials for their out- efore plunging into the deeper and woolier west. This altruistic colony, ft is understood, manages its affairs for the good of all. There are no private enterprises. Each member, upon entering, states his particu- lar preference in the matter of occupation, and he is then put to work at the trade for which he is most suited. There are no definite or binding terms entered upon by the novitiate desiring entrance into the community. He can leave it when he pleases, and he always retains the right to jands acquired. In case any member desires to transfer his lands to others, he will find himself somewhat hampered by certain restrictions of the company, but, in general, the administration of affairs is such that after he once joins there are few reasons for severing connection with the community. The Founders. The original members of the colony, num- bering about twenty, founded a similar col- ony in Mexico about five years ago, but on account of the laws of that country, and the superior advantages offered by resi- dence in the United States, they removed to Colorado, and settled on this tract of land, which had been a government reservation for the Ute Indians prior to their removal to Utah. Among the original organizers was Miles D. Bowen, a well-known free thinker of this city, who formed the colony in connection with’ Judge P. A. Simmons, E. L. Gallatin, J. H. Gabriel of Denver, Mrs. Annie L. Diggs of Kansas and Prof. KE. G. Brown of Philadelphia. Women are by no means ruled out in this colony. They are entitled to hold land in their own name, and take as important a part in the administration of affairs as the men, People. who are up on economical probiems of the day believe chat tu.s co- operative plan of work and self-govern- ment, set apart from disturbing influences of thriving centers of population, is des- tined to work out some interesting results in political economy. That it will prove profitable to students of political economy can hardly be doubted, so that even if Messrs. Julihn and Kent do not decide to settle down and become rancheros and cow punchers of the far west, they will have in- creased their fund of learning on the social- istic problems of the da: ——— MONETARY COMMISSION ADJOURNS. Secretaries Now Engaged in Draft- : ing the Report. - Chairman Edmunds has declared the monetery commission adjourned without day, the commission having concluded its deliberations. The closing proceedings were interesting. The work of going over the report in detail was prolonged late into the night of Thurs- day, and was not quite completed when the commission met next morning. Such chahges as were approved were finally con- sidered and referred to the executive com- mittee anu tne secretaries for incorpuration in tae final draft. The motion that the re- port be adopted as a whole was made by Mr. C. Stuart Patterson of Philadelphia, who presided over the Indianapolis 2onven- tion. There was some question up to the last moment whether the members would waive all their individual preferences in re- gard to minor details of the report and sign it unanimously. Practical rnanimity was finally due as much to the earnest ap- peais of Senator Edmunds as to any other influence. One member thought it necessary to make more emphatic his conviction as to the one feature of the report and Mr. Gar- nett, who had returned to his home in Cali- fornia and was not able to take part in the final deliberations, differed siigatly trom bis associates in regard to the treatment of the existing sitver coins and silver certiticates. The signatures of all the members will be attached to the report with the limited reservations of these two. Mr. H. H.
