BLUES MARCH ON BROWNS IN DARKNESS Bad Weather Interferes with Plan, but Attacking Foree is Not Dis covered Rofore It In Ready for Battle. FORT RILBY, Kan., Oct. 30.—The serles of mancuvers at Fort Riley ended in a problem unique in @= character, producing a surprise in more senses than one. The problem, as originally given, seemed to be a mere prosalc exercise in the formation of an outpost. A Biue force, under Colonel Augur of the Tenth cavalry, consisting of two regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry and two batteries of artillery, was ordered at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon to take a position on Republican flat as though it had just crossed the river, its outposts being immediately established, acing north. An equal force of Browns, under Second infantry, was similarly posted at the milk ranch at the 'north end of the reservation, having, according to military fiction used in the maneuvers, just reached that point, marching from the The umpires were sent out to ob- serve and report upon the establishment of the outpost and the changes in its po- sition at dusk and at dawn. This apparently constituted the entire problem and many of the military ob- servers, thinking that the last exercise was to be a mere drlll, departed from Fort Riley during the day. At 10 o'clock at night, a messenger was dis- patched by the chief umplire to Colonel Augur with information supposed to have been recelved from a spy relative to-the situation of the Brown force, and with orders for him to make a night march and be in position to attack the Browns at th The Blue commander at once summoned his subordinate com- manders and announced to them his plans. At 2 o'clock in the muorning General Bates and staff left headquarters and rode out to the Blue camp. At 4 a. m. the Blue forces started out in two columns, one moving by way of Governor Harvey road and the other in the direction of Morris Hill. The march was conducted in the greatest silence, all smoking was prohibited and the command marched forward steadily to take up a position for attack. A storm suddenly arlsing and the clouds obscuring the stars, the deployment of the line was effected much more slowly than expected, und day had fully dawned be- fore the Blue forces were deployed for action. Brown Force Surprised. Although the Brown forces had no notifi. cation or expectation of impending attack they were well on the alert, in accordance with the general Instructions for outposts, and after the first gun was fired from the Blue position scarcely a minute elapsed be- fore it was answered by the Brown artil- lery. A heavy attack was made on the Brown right by the Eighth cavalry, the Twenty- first infantry, supported by the fire of the Sixth battery of fleld artillery, and the Blue line was extended further to the right by the battallon of engineers and the Tenth cavalry, supported by the fire of the Twen- tieth field artillery. An attack was made with energy in the midst of the two batteries of the Nine- teenth and Twenty-ninth batteries fleld ar- tillery by the Sixth and Twelfth infantry, which were promptly reinforced by the Twenty-fitth infantry. Shortly after 7 o'clock, the forces having approached within close proximity of each other, the engagement was terminated by the chief umplire. Owing to the delay in the deployment of the Blue line the plan of the Blue com- mander to assault at the first gray of morn- ing had falled. The command marched back to camp, where it arrived thoroughly drenched. The maneuver was probably at- tended with more physical discomfort than any other one of the entire serles, The general opinion among' all the- officers, however, was that it was one of the most instructive and valuable military exercises glven during the entire encampment. The maneuvers are now at an end, the commands are preparing to depart to their respective stations, and most of the um- pires left today to rejoin their commands. The general opinion is that the maneuvers at West Point, Ky., and at Fort Riley this year have been of unusual benefit, and they mark a step in the direction of advanced military instruction in the United States.

Beavers, the former head of the salary and allow- ances department of the postal depart ment. Miss Wren is the officlal stenographer of United States District Attorney Youngs of Brooklyn, and as such took the minutes of the federal grand jury in Brooklyn last July, which returned the indictment against Beavers, Congressman Driggs and T. Miller, the local manager of the Brandt- Dent company, charging conspiracy to de- fraud the government Miss Wren said she had been present in the grand jury room when the Beavers' in- dletment was found, but the court refused to allow her to divulge what transpired in the jury room United States District Attorney Youngs, the next witness, was asked if he would produce the records of the grand jury but was excused, as it was shown that the records were the property of the govern- ment, and that Colonel Youngs could not produce them. Inspector Little, who signed plaint against Beavers, was then called. Mr. Steuer, counsel for Beavers, questioned him at great length to show that his aver ments in the complaint were based on hea and that he had no personal knowledge of the nctual facts, out result. The question the witness if he had any personal knowl- edge of Congressman Driggs' connection with the Edward J.
