Fifteenth Anniversary Of Company
Association.


Last night at the Armory Z
Company Guard Of the Commonwealth
Association celebrated the fifteenth an
niyersary Of the organization OF the
company. A business meeting was
first held at the rooms of c Company.
at which Colonel John b. Purcell pre-
sided. The business was mostly Of a
routine nature, but during the evening
letter was read from Mr.. Lacy,
now Of Kansas City, addressed to
Mr.. William NJ. Hill, saying
that if be Hill was the old sergeant Of
Company he wanted to be remember
ed by his old comrades. Mr.. Hill was
the first orderly sergeant Of c Company.
and this letter led to a motion, which
was carried, that each captain of the
company be requested to write out the
history Of the company under his cap
taincy, these records to be bound in a
volume, with photographs of such
members of the company as could be
obtained.
On motion a committee was appoint
ed to effect more complete organlza-
ton Of the Association and to draft a
constitution and bylaws.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year President, Gene
raj Charles T. Anderson, second cap
tain Of the company Nice-Presldent,
William NJ. Hill, first orderly sergeant
of the company; Secretary and Urea
surer. II. Percy Gray.
After the business meeting the COM
pany adjourned to banquet, and a
most enjoyable evening was spent.
The Association celebrates the an
niyersary Of the organization of the
company regularly, either by ban
quet or target-practice; and though
last nights celebration was the fifteenth
anniversary, there are facts connected
with the history of the organization
that may not be known to many of its
members. The record of the company
goes back nearly quarter Of a GEN.
tury. and to the days of the Junior
volunteers. i IOln budN NJlitp pau - VI wy D

Company q, a company of boys OF
Henley's battalion, who saw cOnsldera-
bic service in the trenches around Rich
mond. and were more than once under
tire and acquitted themselves well.
As the boys. one after another,
reached the military age, and
even before some of them reached
that age. the company acted as feeder
to Richmond organizations IN the regu'
lar army. The original members OF the
war company of boys are scattered
from New York to Texas. There Is
one officer in New York, one in 1t
Louis, and one in Atlanta, Ca, anC
it is rather singular that all three
should be in the insurance bust

Mr.. Morrison insisted that the pro-
test should be presented through the
petition-box.
Mr.. Morrison from the Committee
on Rules reported resolution fo- the
appointment Of select committee oil
seven members, TO be appointed by the
Speaker, TO investigate the causes and
the extent Of the disturbed conditions
now existing in the relations between
railroad corporations engaged in inter-
State commerce and their employees In
the States Of Illinois, Missouri, Kansas,
Arkansas, and Texas. The committee
shall have power to send for persons
papers. TO sit during the sessions OF
the House, and to visit such
places in those States as may be ne
cessaIy in order to facilitate investiga-
lion. 1t shall report during the pre-
sent session with such recommenda-
tons as II may deem proper to make.
Mr.. Morrison stated that the bill which
/ had recently passed the House known
as the arbitration bill was inadequate
in its provisions. The object Of the
pending resolution was to enable Con-
gress TO learn the facts Of the case
so that it might perfect its legislation.
Mr.. Reagan contended that Con-
gTeSs had no more power to
regulate question arising be-
tween commentaries and their hired
lAbOrers than question arising
between common-carriers and their
butchers OF grocers. These were local
questions. and the fact that one Of the
parties might be engaged in interstate
commerce did not give Congress Juris.
diciion over the other. The question
was whether the Democratic House OF
Representatives would deny and re-
pudlaie local self-gOyernment or
whether it would assume that the
States were no longer able to execute
their functions. The resolution was
adopted without division.
Under the call Of States number Of
bills and resolutions were introduced
and referred; among them a resolu-
ton by Mr.. BRADY. Of Virginia, au-
thorizing the President to appoint a
board Of commissioners to investigate
to what extent the United States may
be legally or equitably liable for the
debt due by the State Of Virginia be-
cause Of the partition Of the State with
out its consent during the late war. and
the extent Of the equitable liability Of
the United States to the bondholders OF
other States Of the Mon and foreign
bondholdeTs on account of the action
Of the State authorities Of Virginia null
lfyiDg the decisions Of the Supreme
Court of the United States as to the
debt Of Virginia.
The District Of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was next passed without dis
cuesion or substantial amendment.
The House then, at $50, adjourned.
\ Republican caucus was announced
to take place at +, o'clock this evening.
