N sW HOME READY NEARLY - "The troops of the District of Columbia National Guard will go into camp at Sea Girt, N. J.. about ‘he middle of next Au- * gust. Ali doubt on this point, so far as is now known, has been removed. As here- tofore stated, the question of the cost of transportation was the only point that some time ago prevented the decision being Ta: in favor of Sea Girt. Satisfactory urrangemenis have been consummated with the railroad offictals, and the way is now clear for the brigade to camp on the Jer- sey shore. Ji is impossible at this time to fix the exact date of the camp. The time will depend very largely on the dates that may be arranged for the annual encampment of the New Jersey troops. Local guardsmen, however, may make their plans for the second or third week in August. The en- campment will be of ten days’ duration. The troops will be transported by means of two trains of twelve cars each. The start for Sea Girt will be made late at night, the brigaie reaching camp ground early the following morning. In this con- ion it may be 1 to state men en- after June 30 next will not be per- mitted to go to camp. Any guardsman who does not accompany the brigade, but who desires to jog his command in camp at some later tine, will be allowed to do 80 only at his own expense. so far as cost of transportation fs concerned. No asse: ment will be levied in order to take the troops to Sea Girt, the guard paying all expe ineludirg cost of transportation. ‘The impression prevails that nothing in the way of rifle practice will be attempted curing the encampment. The desire is not to force a man to fire his scores, as could be done, while the troops are under orders in ciose proximity to the Jersey range. While speaking of rifle practice it may be in order to say that the understanding Is that a good excuse must be forthcoming to keep any man in the guard hereafter who does not fire the required scores dur- ing the year. It is among the possibilities t the annual inspections of the several batialions may be held at Ordway next fail on the dates set apart for the ordered Tifle practice ef the respective commands at the rarge. Assignment of Armory Rooms. The commanding general has prepared the assignment of troops to quarters at the Center Market armory. The rooms facing the lower balcony have been num- bered from 1 to 13, beginning at the east- ern ¢ that is the room formerly by Company A, 4th Battalion. Under the new assignment it will here- after he the home of Company A, 2d Bat- talion. Reom No. 2 is allotted Com- pany B. 2d Battalion, and room No. 3 to Company D, 2d Battalion. Room No. 4 goes to the Ambulance Corps, and No. 5 will be the headquarters of the 2d Bat- talio The battery will hold sway in rooiais Nos. 6 and 7, while the ist Regiment aiquarters will be in room No. Maj. Holsson and staff will be at home in room No. “ while the remaining four rooms, Nos. 10. il, 12 and 13, have been assigned, respectively, to Companies D, C, B and A, 4th Battalion. On the floor above the rooms fronting on the upper balcony have been numbered 14 to No. 14 is directly above No. 1. Rooms 14, 15, 16 and 17 have been assigned -parate Battalion, the four com- Mander may designate. The headquarters of the battalion will be in room 18 Room 19 is allotted to the general non-commis- sfoned staff, while the band will be lo- cated next door, in room 20. The head- quarters of the 2d Regiment will be in Foom 21. with the headquarters of the 5th Battalion in room 22. The four companies of the Sth Battalion will be assigned to rooms 23, 24, 25 and 26, as the battalion commander may designate. On the third floor of the arcade building the three rooms have been numbered 27. 28 and 29. Room 27 will contain the lock- ers of the members of the band. The Corps of Field Music will! be at home in Room 28, with room 29 for its lockers. The band will never practice in its room, its rehearsals taking place in the drill hall. After this week no more meetings will be held in the rooms at the Center Market building until the alterations are com- pleted. This action is necessary in order that the interior work may not mect with interference. Annual Matches at Sea Girt. In view of the probability that the bri- gade will be represented at the next an- nual meeting of the New Jersey Rifle Asso- ciation by a team, an announcement by the executive committee of the New Jersey State Rifle Association is of interest. The meeting will be held at Sea Girt the week of August 29 to September 3, inclusive. ‘The targets used in all matches will be those prescribed in Blunt's Manual for Small Arms: 200 and 300 yards, target A, bull’s-eye 8x10 inches; 500 and 600 yards, target B, bull's-eye 18x24 inches; 1,000 yards. target C, bull's-eye 32x45 inches. in all team matches the following arms Must be used by the several branches of the service: The National Guard or state militia, Springfield rifle and carbine, .43 caliber (3 groove), without any alteration; the army, Springfield rifle and carbine, model 1892, .30 caliber (Krag Jorge’ the navy, Lee riffe, .236 caliber; the Reserve, Lee rifle, 45 caliber, and .236 cali- ber, if officially issued. In individual matches in which “any military” rifle is allowed, any military rifle with plain open sights and not less than six-pound trigger pull may be used. The fixed ammunition as issued by government will be exclusively used, the Same to be delivered at the range in un- broken original packages, direct from_the fovernment or state arsenal. An officer letailed for that purpose will inspect all ammunition at the firing point. Ammunition may be purchased at the range in original packages. in all indi- vidual matches any ammunition may be used unless otherwise specifled. Armory Nearing Completion. factory progress Is being made in ection of remodeling the Center building for the use of the troops District of Columbia National Since the arrival of the necessary iron work more rapid steps have been pos- prior thereto. The upper balcony along th> front of the bulld- ing is compleied, all the doorways have been cut and brickwork of tye locker the Guard. rooms is in position. The finishing of the interior is the principal task that now confronts the workmen. The alterations to the 7 street wing are also nearing eomple iio! it is expected that the quar- ters will be in readiness for occupancy in @bout three weeks. Monthly Meeting of Officers. ‘The majority of the officers of the bri- de assembled at headquarters last Mon- day evenirg in monthly meeting. Gen. Harries at the outset desired to be in- formed of any objection, if such exists, to Sea Girt as the site for the brigade camp next August. No objection was heard, but, on the contrary, those present expressed themselves as heartily Ia favor of the prop- @sition. It was suggested by certain officers of the Gepartment of rifle practice that in the event the brigede does go into camp at Sea Girt proper time be devoted to rifle practice. It was explained that the sev- eral commands would be more fully repre- sented at Sea Girt than they probably woul! be if ordered out for rifle practice et Ordway later in the season. It was also intimated that company commanders are not doing their full duty as regards rifle practice. In this connection other officers urged that more attention be paid and more money be expended in the direc- tion of improving the mffe practice of re- ctuits and less be paid for increasing the efficiency of those guardsmen who are now experts with the rifle. Another suggesticn Offered was that an effort be made to enact laws providing for , paying the men of the District National Guard when ordered out for duty. A Splendid Organization. In speaking of his foot battery, which Was mustered into the National Guard last Monday evening, Lieut. J. H. Griffiths said to a Star reporte: “Th> material already mustered in is above the average as to intelligence and general make-up, and I really feel that we have the making of a splendid organization —one in which any person should f2el proud of being a member. Without exception all the men have had military training hereto- fore, either in the army or some portion of the National Guard. “Until further notic? meetings will be held every Wednesday evening at the Cen- ter Market armory. The second room from the 7th street wing, on the first floor of the Arcade building, is being used for these meetings until permanent quarters ure as- Signed.” vn pany A, Second Battalion. When the troops of the National Guard take possession of the new armory it is the intention of Company A, 2d Battalion, in addition to regular meetings and ‘riils, to 2stablish a school of instruction for officers and non-commissioned officers, and to ar- range for the delivery of lectures once each month by officers of the army and National Guard on military subjects. Sergt. F. M. Collins has just completed a roster of the honorary memb2rs of tlie company. The roster is a very skillfuily executed piece of work with pen and ink. Blevated Rw ng Track. The annual meeting of the Athlztic As- seelation of the District National Guard and the election of officers have been post- poned until the completion of the new gym- nesium at the Center Market building. Capt. Edwards, president of the associa- tion, has prepared plans for the placing cf the apparatus in the new gymnasium and is 2xerting himself to have in elevated running track constructed therein. Milian Twenty Years Ago. In view of the war talk that has been prevalent of late, it is interesting to recall that twenty years ago last July was a memorable one all over this country, for in many states the militia was called to arms to prevent bloodshed and destruction of property incident to the great labor strike of July, 1877. The National Guard then received a crucial test, and, with very ew exceptions, it was found wanting. his was mainly due to the lack of proper organization, discipline and supplies. The notable exceptions to that portion of the National Guard found to be generally use- less when called into active service were the troops from New York and New J2r- sey, but even in New York there were scrry exampies of worthlessness. The most notorious example of uselessness was the Pennsylvania National Guard, which Was then organized into twenty-one divis- ions, with numerous top-heavy staffs, and which could hardly be mobilized in’ two weeks’ time; almost the entire stat> force Proved useless against the mobs of law- breakers, and it was only when troops of the regular army came on the scene that order could be restored. This was not ac- complished, however, before miliions and miilions’ of dollars’ worth of property was destroyed and many lives lost, although the regulars restored law and order without firing a stot. While the labor disturbances in New York were of the most serious nature, they did not result in the fearful scenes enacted in Pennsylvania. This, however, was due more to good luck and the discipline dis- played by some of the troops on duty than to the praparation of the militia for the emergenc The men had no overcoats or tentage, and were without any field equip- ment or medical supplies whatsoever. At Hornlisville, the 54th Regiment and 110th Battalien, with Battery A, from Elmira, were first on duty, but their ability to pre- serve order can be judged from the fact that the first attempt to runa train guarded by men from their commands resulted in tha tracks being soaped. A mob, boarding the cars, cowing the National Guardsmen, armed with rifles and ball ammunition, compelled the train to return to Hornells- ville, where the engine was destroyed, with th> guardsmen looking on and not firing a shot. The 23d and 74th Regiments were then ordered to the scene. The 234 was only provided with one day’s rations, and before arriving at its destination its train came to a Standstill, the 2=ngine which drew it was boarded by rioters, the fireman was taken off and beaten, and all this while the regiment was on the train. The offi- cers of th> regiment, however, finally awoke to their duty, and, the engineer bravely sticking to his post, the lawbreak- ers Were eventually routed. Demoralization of New Yorkers. At Buffalo the demoralization of some of the state troops on duty was of the worst description. Quite a number had their guns taken away from them by rioters, and one colonel was clubbed severely in the presence of his men and knocked down repeatedly, and finally had to take refuge in a paint shop. The 8th Regiment of New York city was ordered to the scene, and order was restored. Of the regiments sent out of New York city the 9th, which was then in command of Colonel Hitch- cock, made a fine record. It not only had the hardest and most trying work of any to perform, but proved itself to be thor- oughly disciplined, and was handled in a masterly manner. The regiment reported for duty on short notice, with 650 officers and men, and was ordered to Albany to put down the disturbances there. Before Spuyten Duyvil was reached each member of the regiment was served with twenty rounds of ball ammunition, guards were placed ready for emergency at the en- trance of each car, while other guards were posted ready to prevent assaults or inter- ferenee with the engineer or fireman. Be- fore the regiment reached Albany it was learned that a mob which had possession of a bridge intended trouble, and it was feared might tamper with the bridge, and perhaps cause the destruction of the train. One company was disembarked and sent ahead of the regiment to the bridge, which is successfully cleared, and the regiment reached Albany without further impedi- ment. Here, by the cool judgment of the regiment's commander, and the discipline displayed throughout, the command soon had complete control, and order was thor- oughly preserved. The deplorable condi- tion of affairs, so far as supplies to the treops were concerned at the time, can best be judged by the earnest appeal of Major General Shaler, then in command, who, on July 24, 1877, reported to General Wylie, the chief of ordnance, that not a single organization was supplied with nec- essary equipment for field service, and all were without even hospital supplies, and he made an earnest requisition for them. No reply was ever received to General Shaler’s communication, and of course the troops got nothing. = Later the chief of ordnance stated ver- bally that he “had no means for supplying the necessary equpment for the troops.” After the trouble had subsided the ser- vices of the troops were recognized by a complimentary order from the governor, while the department of public works mag- nanimously tendered the guardsmen of New York city the. exclusive use of the free baths for one day. These were old times, howeves, and happily since then the National Guard has improved each year, until at the present time its disci- pline and efficiency can hardly be improy- ed upon. This applies to the National Guard generally. Notes. Mr. Patrick J. Haltigan, formerly of Company C, ist Battalion, has been nomi- nated by Major Hodgson for commission as quartermaster of the 4th Battalion, with the rank of first Meutenant. The dishonorable discharge of Private E. P. Snyder, 1st Separate Company, and that of Private Clarence A. man, Company B, 2d Battalion, have been re- voked and honorable discharges granted in their stead. On their own applications Private Philo L. Bush, Company A, 2d Battalion, and Pri- vate Asa D. Roberds, Company C, ist Bat- talion, have been honorably discharged. At a special meeting of the members of Company D, 4th Battalion, even- ing last, Second Lieut. McClure was elect- ed first lieutenant, and Sergt. Wheaton second Heutenant. Both officers are pop- ular, and it is anticipated that their pro- motion will increase to a marked the ‘efficiency of the company. Lieut. Wheaton for some time past has acted as ees, zereeune a it is Soret some difficulty experienced finding a satisfactory successor. —— The Tramp—“Can -you tell me how can get some work, sir?” wey Citizen (crustily).—"Yes; © ‘cycle, and try to keep it cycle, Tit-Bits, IOWANS AS HOSTS Senators Gear and Allison as Guests of Honor.

He spoke of the need for energetic action next fall, when the congressional elections are to take place, and called on every voter present to use his influence to.the utmost in having the entire state delegation to the House re- turned solidly republican. “Only in that way,” he said, “ean we be assured of an- other republican President in 1900.” Senator Gear said every heart in this great country beats in unison for the ma- jesty of the flag, and that if it were to be insulted or had been the nation would rise as one man in its defense.

Sometimes there are successive usvees: of different colors, which give the whole an appearance of being agate. The most beautiful, however, are those which are brilliant red and covered with a peachy bloom. : The pipe stem forms are usually translu- cent throughout. In some cases the geodes, although hermetically sealed by nature, contain water, and from this circumstance are known by the people of Tampa as “‘wa- ter stones.” These forms containing water, which may be seen through the translu- cent chalcedony, are somewhat rare, and the curio dealers in the south ask extor- tionate prices for good-specimens.

John Bull Seems to Forget What Uncle Sam Once Did. The British government is showing itself unwilling to allow the United States troop= who will escort the War Department relief expedition to the Klondike, to pass through the northwest territory, because the fifty- five enlisted men, composing the escort, will be armed. This action of the British government is in marked contrast to the courtesies it received from the United States in January, 1862, when Secretary Seward hospitably invited the British au- thorities who were sending troops to Que- bec, Canada, in midwinter, by the wilder- ness route via Halifax, to iand them and their munitions of war at Portland, Me., and pass thence by railroad through Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont to Quebec. Mr. Seward was influenced in granting this permission to the British troops to land at Portland, Me., by the consideration that much suffering and risk, through the snow and ice of a northerly Canadian overland voyage, might be spared the troops,if they were allowed to pass througn the territory of the United States by the Grand Trunk railroad, which British enter- prise had extended to Portland. The prin- ciple upon which this concession was made to Great Britain was, that, ‘‘when human- ity or even convenience renders it desira- ble for one nation to have a passage of its troops and munitions through the territory of another, it is a customary aci of comity to grant it, if it can be done consistently with its own safety and welfare.” The dispute between England and the United States growing out of the seizure of Mason and Slidell, the confederate com- missioners, on board the British steamer Trent, caused Great Britain, in 1861-62, to place Canada in a condition of complete Ce- fense. Beside the large number of troops raised in Canada to protect that country against invasion, more than 13,000 were sent over from England in 1502, for the same .purpose. As the St. Lawrence was fast ice-locked, or was expected to be, be- fore the British troops arrived in Quebec, there was no way for the troops to rearh their destination excepting through Maine, or else on snowshoes or sledges across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—a perfect wilderness—to Quebec. This process was adopted in the winter of 1839, when the 434 ‘Webster Law building, 505 eho. HOTELS. ‘This Last Appears Every Saturday. HOTEL INFORMATION FREE.
