Harries’ Men to Receive Roy- al, Hearty Welcome. COMMISSIONER ROS: CALL | white the time of the return to Wash- ington of the 1st District of Columbia Reg- iment, United States Volunteers, is at pres- ent a matter of conjecture, arrangements are already in progress to carry out the general desire of all the citizens of the na- tional capital to give the brave troops a royal reception, and in compliance with this community sentiment, District Com- wissioner Ross has issued a call for a mass meeting, to be held next Wednesday evening, August 24, at the New National Theater. Two battalions of the regiment are now on the ocean, en route to the United States, while the remaining battal- ion and the regimental! headquarters are still at Santiago, but it is expected that the entire regiment will be ordered to Wash- ington by the latter part of next month or early in October. When the soldiers do return they will re- a ing commens te with the triotism have so Reziment. Ever since the regimenc entered service It has heen one of the model organizations of the entire army, includiag both regulars and volunteers. It has praised every- where for its superb discipline and its su- perior personnel. While it is currently said that its men did not see actual it is nevertheless a fact that it did see ¢ of the most trying kind. Its men established themselves on the line sur- rounding Santiago, completing the cordon that effectually prevented escape of the Spaniards, had such beeh attempted, after a foreed march of many miles, and threw up int hments under a storm of Spanish bullets, which they were compelled to sub- mit to without reply. So it will be seen that the District troops had service—real service—that their friends can well be proud of Then, again, the regiment represents the section of the United States that gave the largest quota of its population to the work of planting Old Giory on Cuban soil, and this is a matter for additional local pride, which will find enthusiastic expression when “Johnnie comes marching home.” Preliminary Pianning. At the mass meeting @Vednesday night Commissicner Ross will preside. There will be a few brief speeches by well-known men and committees will be selected to arrange the preliminaries for the reception. Mar- ager Rapley has tendered the free use of his theater, M. G. Copeland & Co. will decorate the house with flags and bunting and J. H. Small & Sons will make the floral display one to be remembered. Lieut. George W. Evans of the National Rifles has tendered the use of the National Rifles’ | Armory for a meeting of the varicus local military organizations, to be held tomor- row night, for the purpose of selecting del- egates to the mass meeting Wednesday, and the Grand Army posts and all patriotic and civic organizations will also send rep- resentatives That the District regiment will receive an ation on its return such as simi ganizations have seldom, if ever, ¢€ oye may be regarded as a foregone conclusion, when such ample time is available to the citizens to prepare themselves for an active Participation in the welcome. pee eee EMERY GROVE CAMP.

Isaiah Redden, a colored expressman, was before Judge Mills today for assault and for secreting the five-year-old child of John A. Bell, also colored. The evidence showed that the mother of the child has been dead several years. Before her death she placed the baby in charge of one Mrs. Mack. Later Bell went to Redden’s house to board, taking the child with him. A few days ago Bell conciuded to make another change and did so, and with the child moved to No. 920 Liberty street. Two or three days since Redden went out to look for tMfe little one and noticed him sitting on the steps of the Liberty street house. Without further ado Redden picked him up and drove off. ‘As soon as Bell learned what fad trans- pired he made an effort to get Redden to return the child to him, but he refused either to do that or to tell him what he had done with it. Bell then had Redden arrested. Redden admitted the charge, but claimed’ that he was justified in his course because he liked the child and the latter liked him. Judge Mills said it was clear Redden was guilty of a technical assault, and fined the accused $20, with the alternative of sixty days in jail, but finally decided to take Redden’s personal bonds to give possession of the child to Bell. oo Fire Does $300,000 Damage.

The pidly occurring events of the campaign of the last five cr six Weeks have bzen of a charact that will ever bring together the hearts of those who have participated. This army by its endurance and courage has already won the admiraticn of the civ- ilized worla, and it is most natural and ap- propriate that men who have stood shoul- der to shoulder ‘n such a struggle, crowned as it has been with glorious victory, should desire to cherish and perpetuate its mem- ory.” General Wheeler adverted to the historic character and value of similar societies which have be2n organized at the close of the various wars in which our country has been engaged, enumerating the Order of the Cincinnati, organized by Washington’s | fptember tt, = officers at the close of the American revo- | Herbert; will dated July lution; the Society of the War of 1812, the | Aztec Society and the various other socie- ties that grew out of the war from 1861 to 1865. “The campaign,” said General Wheeler, in which we have been engag2d, though brief, has probably been more fruitful in results than thcse of any of the wars I have mentioned, and will ¢ertainly be class- ed as one of the most remarkable in mili- tary history. I repeat, in clesing, that it has made this army famous throughout thé world.” For a Constitation.
