AWAITING CONFERENCE WITH GENERAL >_—— The Volunteers Being Examined for the Muster-In. THE SURGICAL sarees STAFF Notwithstanding a recent positive state- ment that official ord2rs would this morn- ing be issued to govern the muster in of t District's quota of volunteers, the War De- partment announced today that the orders would not be promuigated before Monda: Th reason for this additional delay, it is explained, is due to the fact that the major general, whoever he may be, who is to ccmmand the volunteer troops directed to camp in this locality has not yet reached Washington. The War Department officials prefer not to act in connection with the District’s quota prior to consultation with talion should remain in Washington, so as to be available for any emergency work. Later he reached the conclusion that it would be no more than fair to afford the battalion an opportunity to go into the ser- vice, and therefore communicated to Major Ross that a company from the Ist Battalion would be accepted. As not more than one company, it seemed, could be made up from the strength of the battalion the offer was contined to one eompany. Maj. Ross” Response. The reply to General Harries received at headquarters today was as follows: “At a full meeting of the officers of the 1st Battalion, held tonight, the unani- mous sentiment expressed was that inas- much as you had deemed best to have the 1st Battalton remain in Washington, so as to be available for any emergency work, they accept that designation, preferring to keep companies and battalion intact. “With thanks for the personal compli- ment, “I am, very truly, yours, . | “B.

General Harries, commanding the District of Columbia militia, when visited this after- roon by a Star reporter, declined to discuss the situation to any extent. “I have abso- lut2ly nothing tangible to say,” he remark- ed, “until I receive orders from the proper authorities. We have been ready all along to obey orders. When I am officially in- structed by the War Departm2nt to pro- ceed I shall issue, without delay, the neces- sary orders for the organization of the Dis- trict’s quota of volunteers and for placing them in camp. I have good reason to be- lisve that the orders will reach me Mon- da Naturaliy, the postponement of the is- svance of orders occasioned some disap- pointment among the hundreds of guards- men who have been waiting for weeks to take the fleld. The fact that the physical examination of the volunteers is actively in progress today, -however, gave the men ground io hope for a realization of their desires in the near future. Board of Surgeons. The examihation of the men began late yesterday afternoon in presence of Col. Heyl, the official mustering officer, the beard of examining surgeons consisting of Col. Forwood, U. 8. army; Capt. R. A, Pyles, 2d Regiment, D. C. N. G., and Capt. Clarence A. Weaver, Ist Regiment, D. C. N. G. The first company to report was that organized by Major Otto G. Simonson. During the afternocn the surgeons rejected seventeen of those who wanted to take the field against the Spanish forces. The ex- amination of Major Simonson’s men was continued this morning. The next com- pany to report for examination was that organized by Capt. William T. H. King. ‘The remaining companies will be examined by the surgeons just as quickly as pos- sible, the work being proceeded with to- morrow and Monday. Ne company will go into camp until it has been examined and mustered into the service at the armory. Each man will be provided with a complete equipment before he is required to go into the field. So far as could be learned today, there has been no change in the assurance that the District's quota will be a regiment of the minimum strength. The site of the camp wijl, in all probability, be in Virginia, near Fort Myer or Falls Church. No doubt remains that a number of sweeping changes are to be made in the roster of officers heretofore published in connection with the organization of the District's volunteer regiment. Two or three vacancies have occurred in the list of captains, and these will unquestionably be filled by the promotion of first Heutenants. This move will occasion a number of va- cancies among the first and second lieu- tenants, thus providing for the appointment of quite a number of officers of the guard not previously provided for in organizing the regiment. Capt. R. A. Pyles, surgeon of the 2d Regiment, will be the regimental surgeon, with Capt. Clarence A. Weaver, surgeon of the Ist Regiment, as his first assistant. It will be necessary to go out- side the guard for the other assistant sur- geon, as the remaining National Guard sur- geons ptefer not to leave.their private prac- tice to go into the service. General Harries will not make known the list of officers se- lected until his complete instructions are issued, following the receipt of orders from the War Department. The First Battalion. ‘The definite conclusion was reached today that the ist Battalion will not be represent- ea in the make up of the volunteer regi- ment. In view of the fact that the strength | readiness to of the battalion is something less than 200 officers and men, and that fully fifty of these men, who are employed at the navy However, there is / iment as medicai officers.. Only one> more appointment is to bé made. Honorably Discharged. The following men, found physically dis- | qualified for active field service, have been henorably discharged: Sergt. Maj. Wm. E. Colladay, N.C.S., 4th Battalion; Corp. Dan- fel P. Devine, Company B, 5th Battalion, and Coro. Samuel J. Scott, Company aA, 6th Battalion. The following have been honorably dis- charged on their own applications: First Sergt. Edward C. Finney, Battery A, Light Artillery; Qmr. Sergt. Patrick J. Byrne, N.C.S., 4th Battalion; Privates Nicholas Fitzgerald, Company A, 4th BattaMon; Jno. Just, brigade band, and H. M. Norris, Bat- tery A, Light Artillery. Tent Stakes for District Guards. The quartermaster general entered into a contract Wednesday with Dyer & Belt which required them to furnish 10,000 oak stakes to be used in holding down the tents of the regiment of District troops when they shall be called into camp. There Was some spirited bidding for the contract, which was a hurry one. The price paid is between two and three cents per stake, the length averaging from ten to four- teen inches. The stakes were furnished yesterday at noon. The probability is that the District regi- meut of volunteers will be ordared to eamp at Munson’s Hill, in Fairfax county, al- though that matter has not yet been set- tled. ——— TO TAX LEGACIES, - Proposed Amendment to the War Revenue Bill. The Senate committee on finance con- tinued its efforts to improve the stamp tax schedule in the war revenue bill, giving esp2cial attention to an amendment provid- ing a tax on bills of lading. When the com- mittee took a recess at noon the amend- ment had not been acted upon, but the indi- cations were strong that it would be adopted. Mr. Wolcott also gave notice of an amendment placing a tax on legacies, and the probabilities are that it will be incor- porated in the bill as all the democratic members favor it. - ——————E HONOR TO DEWEY.

Prepared After Consultation With the Board of Trade Com- mittee. The Senate District committee, as printed some days ago in The Star, decided -to re- port favorabiy to the Senate th> amen- datory of the highway act, which was pre- pared and indorsed by the board of trade and the District Commissioners. This bill, in addition to radically amending the hig’ way act, proposes a bond issue of four mill- ions for the rectification of misfit subdiv sions, to b2 borne equally by the United States and the District of Columbia. The Senate committee has become doubt- ful whether Congress, in its present frame of mind, would approve such a bond issue, and has, therefore, asked the Commission- ers and the board of trade committee to frame an alternative amendatory bill which shall involve no appropriation or bond is- sue, but which shall preserve the highway extension maps so far as the unsubdivided lands in the county are concerned. In con- formity with this request, the Commission- ers, after consultation with the board of trade committee, submitted the following bill: A bill to amend an act of Congress ap- proved March 2, 1893, entitled “An act to provide 2 permanent system of highways in that part of the District of Columbia lying outside of cities,” and the amend- ments thereto. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives cf the United States of America, in Congress assemble That sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the act of Congress approved March 2, 1803, entitled “An act to provide a permanent system of high- ways in that part of the District of Co- lumbia lying outside of citie: be and the same are hereby repealed. 2. That the map known as “Section One, filed in the office of the surveyor of the Di trict of Celumbia on the 31st day of August, 1895, under the provisions of said act of Ccngress, be and the same is hereby an- nulled, and the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia are hereby authorized and directed to forthwith withdraw the same from the office of the said surveyor, and to discontinue all pending condemnation pro- ceedings relating to subdivisions includ2d within said«map. 3. In order to provide grounds for educa- tional, religious or similar institutions or for large estates, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia be, and they are here- by, authorized to abandon or readjust str2ets or proposed streets affecting local- ities that may be or have been purchased for such purposes: Provided, That under the authority hereby conferred no changes shall be made in existing subdivisions, or in avenues, or in important lines cf travel. The plat of such readjustment, after be- ing duly certified by said Commissioners, shall be forwarded to the commission, con- sisting of the Secretary of War, the Secre- tary of the Interior and the chief of en- gineers of the United States army, and when approved by said commission or a ma- jerity thereof, the change shall be recorded in the office of the surveyor of the District of Columbia and b2come a part of the per- manent system of highways and take the place of any part inconsistent therewith. 4. No map hereafter prepared and filed in the office of the sald surveyor under the provisions of sections 1 and 2 of said act, 11 cluding any map: or maps of the territory included in the map of said section 1, shall contain any highway or reservation, or part thereof, upon any land lying within recorded subdivisions existing at the time such map shall be filed, whether such sub- division shall have bean made under the act of Congress approved August 27, 1888, entitled “An act to regulate the subdivision of land within the District of Columbia” or not. 5. The owner or owners of land over or upon which any highway or reservation shall be projected upon any map filed undar said act of Congress shall have the free right to the use and enjoyment of the same for building or any other lawful purpose, and the free rignt to transfer the title thereof, until proceedings looking to the condemnation of such land shall have been authorized and actually begun. And as to eny highway or part of highway which by any such map is to be abandoned, neither the right of those occupying or owning land abutting thereen or adjacent thereto, nor the right of the public to use such highway or part of highway, shall be affected by the filing of such map until condemnation pro- and actually begun; nor shall th of the municipal authorities to keep be affected until a are by sioners of the District of Columbia.

In the will of the lete Thomas W. Rickie, which was probated in the Orphans’ Court of the District of Cclumbia in 1854, there appears a clause which is very patriotic in spirit, and apropos of the present war sit- vation. Mr. Ritchie was a prominent law- yer and newspaper man residing in Rich- mond, Va. He afterward came to Wash- ington, where he died. After making the bequests, Mr. Richie adds: “I cannot repeat the advice which the il- s (of ious and patriotic George Mason ribed upon his will. njoins it upon his so: lives to the publie Watch over the inter which he is a member, d such a free and is!

We are destined to be greater still, but let us not be too am- bitious of inordinate acquisitions or too rapid in our advances. Let us fill up the | immense territory which we own. Let us not be too anxious to step one foot from the main land to the islands unless, indeed, as in the case of Cuba, we are threatened by the barbarization” of that beautiful Island and its conversion into a black and hostile neighborhood. Let us not deny to the inhabitants of other lands a free asy- lum within cur owr shores, but let us con- fine ourselves to the operation of national | causes. In this way we may best acclimate the immigrent to our free insiitutions Preserve both the rights of the states an the union of the states. These are the two illars of American prosperity and glory This will was witnessed by the late W. W. Corcoran. ee PERMANENT DISPLAY ABROAD. Proposed Exhibition . Products. Mr. M. Gallia, who has been in America for several months, engaged in promoting the establishment of a permanent exhibi- tion in Paris and London of American pro- ducts and manufactures, expresses satis- faction with the result of his efforts. it is proposed to establish the permanent ex- hibition prior to the international exposi- tion of 1900. The American exhibition will be opened September 1, 1895. A central and convenient location will be obtained. The expenses will be met by the rentals for space of the exhibitors and a percent- age on sales. Mr. Gallia has found general approval of his undertaking.
