PRACTICE BATTERY PROSPECTS BRIGHT As was to be expected, because of lack of quarters, the work of the District of Co- lumbia National Guard is at a standstill, and a majority of the troops are without a home, so to speak. The property of the several companies, is stored in the hall over -the 9th street wing of the Center market, and everybody is now awaiting the fitting up of the quarters and the com- pletion of the alterations to be made at Center Market building. Workmen are engaged at present in plac- ing in position the pillars and girders to support the balcony fronting the upper story of the building. A meeting of the directors of the Market Company was held Saturday,when steps were taken to com- plete the improvements at the earliest pos- sible date. Headquarters have been furnish- ed, and everything now is comfortable and homelike in the rooms of the adjutant gen- eral and the general staff, at 1410-12 G street. At a meeting of the officers of the guard at headquarters last Monday evening Gen. Harries stated in a general way the pro- gram to be followed hereafter. He made particular mention of the fact that gen- eral all-around work will be encouraged, to the exclusion of specialties, and announced that practice marches will be in order with the advent of pleasant weather. It was further suggested that the brigade will probably be ordered out for review several times during the summer. The President, the Secretary of War and the general com- manding the army will be invited to re- view the brigade on separate occasions. An Out-Door Drill Ground. The commanding general during the meet- ing invited suggestions from the officers present for the betterment of the guard. Lieut. Col. O’Brien of the 2d Regiment stated that he thought it would be a good idea to establish a sufficient number of electric lights on a portion of the monu- ment grounds, in order that the space could be used for drill purposes. The drill hall, Col. O'Brien explained, is not of sufficient size in which to maneuver a regiment or a battalion. The monument grounds are not far distant from the armory, he added, and would be convenient for all the troops, not only those quartered in Center market, but the Ist Battalion as well. The sug- gestion was taken under consideration. It was aiso suggested that while the al- terations are in progress that a room or rooms be set aside at the Center market, Wherein meetings may be held. The com- manding general has directed that this step be taken by the superintendent of the armory. Major Gilbert Thompson, commanding the Engineer Battalion, thought it would be a good idea to establish at the armory a room for use permanently as a meeting place for all the officers of the guard: a sort of clearing house according to Major Thompson, where the officers could be- come acquainted with one another and ex- change view At the conclusion of the meeting, the re- mainder of the evening was devoted to discussing a collation spread in the quar- ters of the general staff and prepared under the direction of Major E. H. Neumeyer, commissary general. Tne mectings of of- ficers are to be held regularly the last Monday evening ot each month. The gen- eral staff meets every Monday evening, at which time, however, all officers of the guard will be welcomed at headquarters. Appropriation for the Guard. The allotment for the militia of the Dis- trict of Columbia in the District ap- propriation bill that has passed the House of Representatives allows over $4,000 more than ever before in any one year for the support of the local brigade. The itemized appropriation for the militia is as follows: For rent, fuel, light, care and repair of armories and telephone service, $14,125: Provided, That in the disbursement of this appropriation part thereof may be ap- plied to leasing premises for armory pur- poses at a reasonable annual rental, to be paid quarterly, for a term not exceeding three years. For lockers, furniture and gymnastic ap- paratus for armories, $800. For printing and stationery, $300. For cleaning and repairing uniforms, arms and equipments, and contingent ex- es, $500. For custodian in charge of United States property and storerooms, $900. For expenses of drills and pa For expenses of rifle practice matches, $3,600. : For expenses $10,000. For general incidental expenses of the service, $300, Friendly Visit of Jerseymen. With the coming of spring there will probably arrive at the national capital a delegation of riflemen from New Jersey for the purpose of engaging in a contest with the local sharpshoot:rs. An invita- tion is to be extended to the New Jersey- men to come down and try conclusions in a friendly sort of way at the Ordway range. The time select>d will probably be Curing the month of M In order that all conditions may be as nearly equal as is possible, a box of new regulation rifles wiil be opened, and the m:?mbers of both teams will make their se- lections therefrom. Regulation ammunt- ticn will also be used. Attorney General Griggs, formerly governor of New Jersey, and, by the way, an expert with the rifle will probably be a member of the New Jer- sey team. That Fifth Battalion Incident. First Lieut. F. Carroll Mattingly, Com- pany D, 5th Battalion, who was recently relieved from duty by Maj. Simonson as a s2quel to his declination to tender his res- ignation when requested to do so by the battalion commander, has, it is understood, made appiication for’ the appointment of a court of inquiry. Lieut. Mattingly, it seems, desires that the circumstances in connection with th: incident be investi- gated, for he thinks he is the aggrieved party. of camp of instruction, ar as can be learned, a court of in- quiry will not be appointed in this case, for those who claim to be well up in mili- tary procedure tak> the stand that Lieut. Mattingly has not indicated anything that cught to be investigated. However, time alone will show the outcome of the matter. Battery Prospects Are Brighte The prospects for the organization of a successful feot battery are very gratifying. At a meeting held Wednesday evening last marked enthusiasm was displayed. Lieut. Griffiths, who has been authorized by the commanding general to organize the bat- tery, states that he is very much encour- aged because of the interest displayed. He says there are now promised nearly as many men as are needed to man the battery. All of them have had experience heretofore in military work. The next meeting will be held this even- ing at 8 o'clock in room 6, Ames building, 1410-12 G street. Ambulance Corps at Work. Notwithstanding the handicaps imposed by the transfer of quarters, the Ambulance Corps has decided that it will not indulge in a vacation just at this time. The or- ganization has rented attractive rooms on h street and regular meetings are held. Lieut. Fales is at present conducting a course of instruction in first aid to tue In- jured and bandaging. Great interest is dis- played by the members, who claim that the Ambulance Corps of the District of Colmbia National Guard compares favorably with any in the United States. Lieut. Jacobson Has Resigned. First Lieut. Samuel H. Jacobson, quarter- master of the 4th Battalion, has tendered his resignation and the paper has passed through military channels and reached headquarters. By the resignation of Lieut. Jacobson the National Guard loses one of its most efficient, enthusiastic, painstaking and hard-working officers; one who has been a member of the brigade from its earliest days, and who has at all times de- voted his energies in the direction of pro- moting its welfare. Notes. Musician Ruloff R. Stratton has been ap- peinted sergeant of the brigade band, to rank as such from December 1 last. Edgar A. Shilling has announced that be- cause of business reasons he will be unable to accept the captaincy of Company B, 2d Battalion, to which he was recently elected. Second Lieutenant A. O. Hutterly of Company A and Sergeant Major Charles L. Lanham have been elected first and sec- ond Heutenants, respectively, of Company A, Engineer, Battalion. They have been directed to report for examination the 16th instant. The special order announcing the dis- charge in the interest of the service of Private Reginald A. Murray, Company B, 4th Battalion, has been amended so as to read that the discharge was granted on his cwn application. On their own applicatigns, the following have been discharged: Privates Howard G. Brown and James T. McClenahan, bota of Company C, 2d Battalion; Sergeant Fred C. Trembley, Company A, 5th Battalion, and Privates Avon M. Nevius and Richard MG Thomas, both of Company B, 2d Bat- talion. Major James E. Bell, inspector general of rifle practice, announces that the last call has been sounded for the reports of rifle practice for the past season. Until these reports are received, it will be im- possible for the inspector general of rifle practice to forward his requisition for rifle practice decorations. Arrangements are progressing satisfac- terily for the first concert by the National Guard Band, to be held Sunday evening, February 13. The commanding general and staff will occupy several of the boxes, while, it is expected, a majority of the members of the National Guard will be in attendance. From a musical standpoin the concert, it is stated, cannot be other than a complete success. oe APPEAL "TO ARBITRATION Claim of Dr. Cheek’s Estate Against the Sia- mese Government. Remarkable Case Which Has Gone Through Diplomatic Channels—To Be Heard at Shanghai. A case of considerable magnitud2 and in- terest is the claim of the estate of the late Dr. Marion A. Cheek, an American citizen, egainst the Siamese government, which is now being presented to the arbitrator se- lected by the two governments, Sir Nich- olas J. Hannen, H. B. M. chief justice and consul gen2ral at Shanghai. The facts in this remarkable case, which bids fair to become a cause celebre, are as follows: Dr. Cheek was an American medi- cal missionary, sent to Siam in 1874 by the Presbyt»rian board of foreign missions. He located in Ch®angmal, the capital of north- ern Slam, and the center of the extensive teak forests of Siam. In the course of his work he acquired an intimate knowlzdge of the Siamese language and customs, and also became acquainted with the minute details of the teak trade. With the true commercial instinct of th> Yarkee, Dr. Cheek saw that here was an excellent opportunity to make a fortune. | His skill as a physician and surgeon had brcught him into intimate relations with persons of rank and influenc>. By this means he obtained leases of large teak for- ests, and entered upon the business of working teak wood and rafting it several hurdred miles down to Bangkok, where it was marketed. It is impossible to success- fully carry on the working of teak wood without elephants. These intelligent ani- mals are trained to pick up and carry large teak logs from the forests where they are cut to the streams on ich they are floated to market. The elephants also a: ist in “‘ownging” or working the rafts for- rd down the streams, which are filled = with obstructions. Dr. Cheek d2voted the profits of his work to the purchase of elephants, and acquired a large herd, numbering seventy-six. He also purchased a large outfit of tools neces- sary to carry on the work. He cam> to be regarded as the most successful teak trad- er in Siam, and was known as the “timber king.” = His Formidable Rivals. He had, however, two formidable rivals, it is said, In the Borneo Company and the Bembay Burmah Trading Corporation. In 1889 or 1500, realizing the nzed of greater capital to successfully carry on the busi- ness in competition with these powerful British companies Dr. Cheek induced Prince Warawan Nakorn, Siamese minister of finance, repr2senting the Siamese gov- ernment, to loan him a half million dollars, and entered into a kind of partnership ar- rangement with the government in the teuk business. As security for the loan Dr. Che2k executed a “bill of sale mort- gage” in favor of Prince Warawan on his seventy-six elephants and tools and on all teak wood which he then had cut in the forests. Dr, Cheek was to pay interest at the rate of 7% per cent per annum. By the terms of the agreement which was to operate for ten years, Dr. Cheek was to manage the working of the forests and th2 transportation of the wood to Bangkok, where it was to be sold and the profits divided—one-third to the govern- ment and two-thirds to Dr. Cheek. The latter proceeded tn the business under this agreement. The first year was a favorable one, a considerable quantity of wood was worked down to Bangkok, and at the end of the year accounts were balanced and the profits divided, the doctor paying the interest on the loan. The s2cond and third years being dry and no water in the streams, It was impossible to work the teak down, and the doctor was unable to make his interest payments. According to his contention, th> stipula- tion to pay interest at the rate of 71 per cent per annum did not necessarily con- template the payment of interest each year. He maintained that according to the well-known custom of the teak trade, interest payable when there had been a good year, enabling the dealer to get his timber to market and make sales. At this time he hed in the forests and in the streams at various points between Cheang- mai and Bangkok about a million dollars’ worth of teak wood, *nough to pay the Ioan made him, principal and interest, and’ leave a handsome surplus. The Siamese government insisted that the interest was payable each year, and after endeavoring to secure payment, in the sum- mer of 1892, forcibly took possession of all the wood which the doctor had gotten out, sold the same at auction, and appropriated the proceeds to its own use. Treaty Not Invoked. Although there was a treaty in force be- tween the United States and Siam, provid- ing for the determination of disputes be- tween Americans and Siamese by the United States consul general, in conjunc- tion w..u the proper Stamese officers, this treaty provision was not invoked. Nor did the Siamese government institute any pro- ceedings in its own judicial tribunals to de- termine whether Dr. Cheek had violated the agreement. That government was not content with its forcible seizure of the wood, it is said, but it went further, and issued a royal proclamation directing all persons who owed Dr. Cheek to appear be- fore a certain Siamese official, and stating that he would accept payment thereof on most favorable terms to the debtor. The proceeding of the government destroyed Dr. Cheek’s credit, rendered it impossible for him to continue his operations, and, in fact, compassed his financial ruin. He was left, not with “an elephant on his hands.” but with seventy-six, none of which he could sell or lease, as no one cared to in- cur the enmity of the Slamese government. The government would have taken pos- session of these elephants but for the prompt intervention of the United States minister at Bangkok. Dr. Cheek brought the matfer to the attention of the State Department at Washington and preferred a claim against the Siamese government for damages suffered through the acts of that government. But the mental strain and anxiety which he had undergone caused his death in July, 1895, before the claim had been presented to the Siamese government. The claim was pressed by his estate, and in August, 1895, Secretary Olney directed the United States minister at Bangkok to This is what a prominent physician says: “I have given my own children the benefit of very careful study in the matter of absolute cleanli- ness in bottle feeding. I have studied the so-called easily-. cleaned nursing bottles, and I long ago came to the conclusion that a little Pearline would ren- der ordinary nursing bottles the safest utensils of them all. firmly believe that children properly fed and cleanly fed will avoid the majority of the difficulties which they encounter during the first two years of life. I believe that if every feeding bottle was washed with. Pearline, many innocent lives would be saved.” Surely, this is a matter to interest every mother. Nothing so thoroughly cleanses as Pearline. present the claim to Siam. The Siamese government in due time replied, denying lability, and presenting a counter claim against Dr. Cheek’s estate for the money advanced him, with interest thereon. After some further negotiations, an agreement was entered into providing for the refer- ence of the two claims to arbitration, it be- ing stipulated that if an award is ma@e in favor of the Siamese government, it shall be against the Cheek estate and not against the United States. Sir Nicholas Hannen was selected as the arbitrator, and has en- tered upon his labors at Bangkok the pres- ent week. Eminent Counsel Employed. Eminent counsel haye been retained by { |»both parties. Among others, M. F. Lowder, @ prominent Englfsh lawyer of Yokohama, will appear for the Cheek estate, and the Siamese government will be represented by Sir Rolin Jacquemeyns, the learned Belgian jurist and international lawyer. Warner P. Sutton of Washington is attorney for the estate in the United States. Dr. Cheek left a widow and several chil- dren in this country. The case is attracting extraordinary at- tention in Slam, both because of the magni- tude of the pecuniary interests involved and the probable effect of the decision of the arbitrator on the future prospects of foreign traders in Siam.
