Her Naval Battalion Begins Tour Of
Duty-Colors Presented-Camp Ground
ON the Old Wabash.
BOSTON, Aug. 2O-Our naval battalion
has begun its first "cruise." which is
equivalent to the annual encampments of
the militia In response to general orders,
the members of the command assembled
at the Irvington street armory. The APP
pointed hour for starting for the Charles
town navy yard was $50 o'clock, but ow-
ing to delay in the delivery of the rifles,
caused by the New York Central railroad
strike, the men were unable to get ready
at the stated time The formation at the
armory. however, made with as much
celebrity as possible.
When the battalion was drawn up in
line, Lieutenant Commander Solely at the
head, 100 men strong, Adj. Gen. Dalton
appeared on the scene. Behind him stood
two officers, with the national and state
colors, which Gen. Dalton, in behalf of the
state, presented to the battalion.
1t may be said that it was the verdict of
those who saw the parade that the new
nave battalion is a credit to the common
wealth.
D.tlng the weeks cruise visitors will
be admitted to the Wabash by card. The
governor will visit the command on Fri
day
The tour of duty will end on Saturday.
Col. w. L. Chase will act as inspecting
officer during the week,

there were placed over a hundred loaded

The vessel was ready on the 9TH Of
September, and Lieut.. Somers' orders
were to steer straight for the anchorage

he was to light his fuses and heading the
craft into the midst of the enemy abandon
her to her course, bringing of his men in
two swift boats carried on the Intrepid.
The gallant captain added to the pro
gramme that in case Of the boarding of the
Intrepid by Tripolitians, before he had full
filed his mission, he would blow her up
with all on board His threat was after
ward remembered with anxiety on the
American decks.

The scabbard with its handsome seven

WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-The Republi-

mittee have been at work for some time
endeavoring to agree upon a reciprocity
proposition to be embodied in the tariff
bill in accordance with the suggestion Of
the president and Secretary Blaine. The
Edmunds scheme, remarked a leading men,
Der of the committee, is too broad in
its scope, and gives the president extraor-
binary power, which the senate would not
be willing to confer. 1t is not proposed to
give the president the right to fix the duty.
The plan proposed by Senator Aldrich,
to be reported from the finance committee,
provides that the duty on sugar shall be-
reimposed on Jan l., 1892, OH all sugar
