Tho National Drill.

Commissioner Wheatley was authorized
by meeting Of citizens held on the 18th Of
August at Wizards Hotel to appoint a
committee Of representative citizens to ar
range for q national drill at the national
capital In the month Of May Of next year.
In compliance with these resolutions the
committee has been appointed, and held
It's first meeting at Willard's Hotel last
evening. Mr.. Wheatley, as chairman Of
the committee, made brief, clear, and
convincing statement regarding the feaslbll-
ity of, and the advantages which Washington
presented for a national drill. Every men,
ber of the committee present expressed the
opinion that the projected national drill
would prove grand success.
1t is estimated that during the ten days
from the Goth Of May to the 30th-Decora-
ton Day-not less than 100000 persons
will visit Washington.
In addition to the 100000 OF cash prizes
to be offered by the citizens Of Washington,
It was suggested that Congress be asked to
pass joint resolution authorizing the mint
to strike off medals OF gold, silver, and
bronze to be presented by the President OF
the United States to the successful regl-
ments, battalions, and companies Of the
National Guard. This military force will
ever constitute the main reliance Of the re.
public in time of war, and for such drill
purposes no spot Of the public grounds IL
too sacred.
1t is believed that the representative mill.
tary men Of the world will be present tt
witness the contest
Our citizens will without doubt cheer
fully and promptly sustain the movement
thus auspiciously inaugurated under tn,
advice OF Mr.. T. c. De Leon, who will b,
called to take charge OF Its general manage
ment. lie is au authority In such matters

The worst feature Of Gen. Bragg's case
