AL GUARD RESULT OF CHISHOLM COURT-MARTIAL Preparations in Progress for En-} campment Next July. + — WORK WITHTHE PISTOL —————— ‘The absence of the adjutant general from the city during the greater portion of the week has naturally resulted in a diminu- tion in the amount of official business trans- acted at militia dquarters. The orders in the case of Capt. D. V. Chisholm, Com- pany B, 2d Battalion, District of Columbia National Guard, however, were {ssued. They recite the details of the convening of the court, the nature of the charges and ecifications, the pleas entered, the find- and the remarks of the commanding . disapproving the findings and ac- quittal. The trial and the surrounding circum- stances continue topics of chief interest in local military circles. Rumor has it ¢ pt. Chisholm means to tender his res nation, in view of the fact that the review ing authority has announced that the ac- cused officer was admittedly guilty of ne- ig- glect of duty, notwithstanding the findings >= 13 tions provide for sjx. shets in twenty sec- onds at 20 yards, military revolvers being used; 25 yards with target'revolvers, and 15 yards with pocMet*rtvolvers. The prize will be presentedsto the winner at the close of the contest, thig,evening. - The deliberate aira contest will continue through six meetitigs, the Creedmoor tar- get being used. There wili be ten consec- utive shots, handleap distances. The con- testant making. the. highest score will re- ceive first prize, the others in rotation, un- til all prizes are disposed of. Many of the members are practftingdaily under the in- struction of the shooting master in prepa- ration for the contest. fer places on the in- ternational revolver team that is to com- pete with a team of Frenchmen during the first week of next May." National Revolver Organization. The organization pf the United States Re- volver Association is_announced. It is the wish of the association that it be national in name and character. Its stated object is to systematize the sport of revolver shoot- ing, adopting uniform targets and pre- scribed distances, defining clearly what constitutes the different types of arm, reg- ulating the trigger pulls of the different types of revolvers, and formulating rules and regulations for conducting revolver shooting. This organization will own no range. It is not,to represent one portion of the coun- try more than another, but the United States at large. Revolver shooting, under the auspices of the association, it is be- lieved, will become a popular sport, the idea being to conduct it in such a manner that the exact value of a person's shooting will be known to all familiar with the sport, whether the shooting 18 done in one part of the country or ahother. There has been a great deal of fine re- volver shooting done in this country during the past few years, It is pointed out, but the conditions have been so varied and the targets so many that comparisons of scores has been almost impossible. Besides the work mentioned, the United States Revolver Assoclation announces that it will arrange matches between individu- als, interstate competitions and international matches. Already there has been one in- ternational match proposed, and the hope of those Interested is that it will be the be- ginning of a number of such contest: which will arouse interest in the sport an bring to it many converts. Rifle Shooting Abroad. The National Ritle Association of Great Britain recently issued a circular of inquiry as to the best means of encouraging and extending rifle practice in Great Britain, which has been widely distributed. Based upon the returns received the committee has arrived at the conclusion that an in- uperable difficulty in the way of making rifle shooting a general practice among the nation at large would be occastoned by the expense of rifles and ammunition, and of the gun license which under existing law would have to be taken out by every per- on not a member of her majesty’s for or of the police, who desires to practice. It thinks it will be necessary, before any ef- fective progress can be made, to endeavor to secure the co-operation of the govern- ment with a view to the removal of these sources of expense, and possibly with a view to some provision out of imperial funds toward general expenses, or at least facilities for raising loans. The committee further thinks that some provision will be of not guilty of the charges and specifica- tions. “This onably had {ts origin in an eva: tary duty sald the commanding general, in disapproving the findings and thai the accu: pany, had engaged to participate m an c. hibition drill, for which no proper permit: sion was either asked or granted. To cover that offense the plea of non-receipt of or- ders seemed necessary.” Will Be Called to Account. In view of the foregoing, there is very good reason to believe that Capt. Chisholm will be called on by headquarters tp ex= plain his engaging to participate In an ex- hibition drill for which no proper permis ion was either asked or granted. This ac- tion is characterized in the statement of the reviewing authority as an “offense."’ It being an offense, action in connection there- with is considered imperative. What the omteome of this latest phase of the situa- tion will be is a matter of conjecture. Within a very few days the resignations acquittal. ‘Testimony shows . with a portion of his con of certain officers of high rank are expected to reach headquarters. The resignations will, in all likelfhood, be voluntary. It is among the possibilities, ‘however, that their tender may have to be suggested, and per- haps urged. Should this course not, be fol- lowed by the desired results it may ‘be nee- essary to appoint a board to pass upon the fiiness of the office! their commissions. It is the general under} standing that their testimony before. the Chisholm court demonstrated unfitness to a marked degree. Inquiry has been made regarding what is supposed to be delay In the organization of the new 3d Battalion, The major and his staff have been commissioned, but the com- panies have, thus far, failed to materializ it is explained that there are now at le: five desirable organizations anxious to be- come affiliated with the guard. and willing to be assigned to the 3d or any other bat- talion. Absclute lack of quarters and ab- sence of funds with which to rent the same, however, renders the muster-in of even one of these companies out of the quesdon at this time. Preparations for Camp. The details of the encampment of the troops of the National Guard, to be held next July, are receiving constant and earn- est attention at headquarters and by the several staff departments. The selection of a proper camp ground {s very near a head, and the subjects of transportation, the crec tion of a rifle range and other ‘essentials were discussed very fully at a im ing of the general staff last Monday evening.

The commanding general has decided to allow hereafter to each organization, regi- ment, battalion and company a certain amount of stationery to be used for official purposes only and to be obtained semi-an- nually from the quartermaster general. The latter has been directed to prepare an esti- mate of the amount and kind of stationery to be given each organization.

The home minstrel troupe of St. Eliza- beth’s Asylum, composed of employes of the institution, who: entertainments are made features of the amusement season at the hospital each year, gave {ts second minstrel performance before a large audi- ence last evening in the amusement hall of the asylum. Mr. Charles J. Simpson acted as general menuger, assisted by Messrs. William Smith and George W. Hume. The music was by the St. Elizabeth Orchestra, and after a plantation melody had been rendered the gathering of the minstrels at the Darktown club house was_ pfesented, when the latest darkey songs, jokes, dances and whistling solos were introduced. Those taking part were Messrs. Charles J. Simp- William Smith, George W. Hume, clarence Dorman, ‘Patrick Shannahan, Harry Kelly, Harry Conrad, George Dixon, Clarence Skinner, B. Lipscomb and George Dwyer. A sketch entitled “Over the River, Charles,” was presented by Messrs. Chas. J. Simpson, William Smith and George W Hume, which was followed by “Pete's Ghost.” by the same trio. The drill of the Darktown Regulars concluded the perform- ance. The entertainment was interspersed with selections by the orchestra, and was pronounced. to be enjoyable by those pres- ent. A number of the new cars which are to be used on the Anacostia and Potomac River railway, a branch of the Washington Trac- tion and Electric Company, are arriving in the city. They are of much the same pat- tern as those now in operation on the An- acostia line, and efforts are being made to place them in use-in as short a time as pos- sible over the entire route.of the Anacostia branch. a a FO D> POHOD PCH HDI HDHD People hesitate at the statement that the fa- mous food Grape-Nats yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats.

VOTE, 35 YEAS TO 15 NAYS a After a very lively debate yesterday after- noon the Senate adopted the conference report on the Porto Rican relief bill by a vote of 35 to.15, practically a strict party expression. No democrat voted for the report, but Mr. Stewart (Nev.) voted with the republicans. The time of discussion was consumed principally by Mr. Tillman (S. C.), who made a fierce attack upon the measure as agreed upon in conference, and accused the republican senators and the republican party of indirection, hypocrisy and “dirty work.” Mr. Gallinger (N. H.) followed with a temperate statement of those who not only favor the report, but the passage of a Porto Rican tariff bill. Mr. Spooner (Wis.) closed the debate with a forceful statement in opposition to Mr. Tillman's speech, in the course of which the took occasion sharply to criticise the South Carolina senator for dragging the Measure into politics. His colloquial tilts with Mr. Tillman were immensely enjoyed by the auditors. Continuing his remarks after The Star's report of the proceedings was closed, Mr. Tillman sal believe that Mr. McKinley is one of the most lovable men in public life, but the trouble with him is that sometimes he hasn't the backbone to stand up against his party friends. What he ought to have done was to stand by his message and let you go ahead and fight this question out among yaurselves.” The President's Opinion. Disclaiming any authority to speak for the President, Mr. Perkins of California, said that the belief that the sugar trust had acquired the greater part of the sugar product of Porto Rico and his desire to build up the beet sugar industry in_ the United States had induced the President, he (Perkins) believed, to favor a tariff, if it were true that he did favor it. Mr. Perkins thought Mr. Tillman ought to join the rest of the American people in rejoicing over the prosperity which had come as a result of President McKinley's beneficent administration. Mr. Tillman declared that Mr. McKin- ley and republican policies had nothing to do with the prosperity the country was enjoying. It had begun ten years ago, and it was in consonance With the methods of the republican party to claim the credit for it. Mr. Gallinger'’s Defense. Mr. Gallinger (N. H.), who is a member of the committee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico, said the committee had devoted three weeks to listening to testimony bear- ing upon the needs of Porto Rico. In that committee there had been but one thought, and that was to provide that which would be best for the interests of the island and its inhabitant: “Destitute and suffering as those people are, id Mr. Gallinger, “‘we ought to pass this bill promptly and not deal in such po- litical diatribes as we have been treated to here.” Mr. Gallinger pointed out that four-fifths of the products exported from Porto Rico consisted of coffee. Upon this the United States had placed no tariff, while Spain for- merly levied a duty upon coffee as w as upon some other Porto Rican products. “We are proposing to treat Porto Rico better than we treat any territory of the United States. We collect internal revenue taxes in Oklahoma, Indian territory and Arizona, and every dollar of it goes into the United States treasury. We shall col- lect internal revenue taxes in Porto Rico, too, but every dollar so collected will be returned to the Porto Ricans and be used for their benefit. “Reference has been made here to cer- tain political exigencies which are said to control the action of the republican party. No political exigencies have had the slight- est effect upon me. I have acted through- out for the best interests of those people. The senator from South Carolina facetiou: ly refers to the troub’es which will over- whelm us next November. That has a fa- miliar sound. ‘The democrats in my state always curry the fall election in March, but never in November. So itis with the senator.” Mr. Gallinger declared that the legisla- tion pending in the interest of the Porto Ricans was right and just and generous, and he was satisfied that on sober second thought the people who were now opposing it would heartily approve of it. The Trusts. He sald it was also a familiar cry that the trusts were controlling the republican administration. “We heard that when Hawali was an- nexed and free entry to our ports was given Hawaiian sugar. Now it is raised again when we propo: to place a_small duty upon the products of Porto Rico for the benefit of the Porto Ricans themselves. “The trust which is suffering.” continued Mr. Gallinger. “the trust which we are ex- pressing by this legislation is composed of some gentleman at the Arlington Hotel in this city, a trust headed by the Britisé vice consul at San Juan. That trust ‘s suffering considerably. Those gentlemen bought up the sugar under the full Ding- ley rates, and if they can get it into this country free of duty they will make the full hundred per cent of the tariff; but if we succeed in putting a tariff duty of 15, per cent of the Dingley rate on that sugar the trust's profits will be cut down by that much, and the people of Porto Rico will benefit to that extent.” In the course of the debate Mr. Tillman said: “We had some dares here yester- day, but the bob-tailed flush of my friend from Ohio (Foraker) did not go through. (Laughter). Mr. Gallinger—“Now, I admit the Sena- tor has the advantage of me. He is talk- ing about things I do not know anything about.” (Laughter.) Race Troubles Brought In. Mr. Spooner protested against the mak- ing of political speeches on a measure like that now pending. Having referred to the manner in which Mr. Tillman had char- acterized the work of the republican sena- ters, he and Mr. Tillman became involved in a controversy over the terms used by the South Carolina senator, which devel- oped considerable heat. The discussion finally developed some remarks that Mr. Titman had made a few weeks ago, in which he justified ballot-box stuffing ani the employment of the shot gun policy against the negroes in the south. “We did all these things,” declared Mr. Tillman, “‘and I have no apology to make for it here or anywhere else.” In reply Mr. Spooner said he had never yet been able to find justification for the murder of negroes in the south or the trampling upon their rights as American citizens. ‘In view of these statements of the sena- tor,” Mr. Spooner declared; “I am tired of hearing all this prattle from senators on the other side of the chamber about the rights of the Porto Ricans and the Fiti- pinos. It ought to be understood that the senators on this side of the chamber are as anxious to do the right and just thing as are those on the other side.” After presenting a brief but cogent argu- ment in support of the conference report, Mr. Spooner said that the 15 per cent was not intended as a protective duty. It had nothing to do with trusts. The only prop- osition, he said, which had in any way favored the trusts, was the amendment of- fered by Mr. Jones of Arkansas to return the duties to those who had paid them. ‘The Report Adopted. An aye and noe yote on the conference report was then taken, and it was adopted by a vote of 35 to 15, the vote being structly a party one, with the exception of Mr. Stewart (Nev.), who voted with the republicans. After the passage of a number of private nsion bills and a measure to prevent Sangecs to nay tion from rafts on the Pacific ocean, the Senate, at 4:25, went into executive session, and at 4:30 p.m. adjourned.
