The Army and the Police.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
As it appears that I have offended some Of
the majors. generals and privates who con-
stitute that glorious training school Of morality
and gentlemanly courtesy 0the United States
army, in which so many brutal and drunken
District Of Columbia police officers have re-
ceived their training, and to whom my remarks
In a late issue Of your paper were directed,
allow me to say few words in support Of my
assertion.
/ would like to refer major and private
70 the charges of murder. attempted muir
der and assaults pending against Police
Officers Burns, Murphy and others, Who
are products of the United States army.
Our police trial board brings TO light the
true character Of the men appointed from
the United States army. Our Police Court, too,
is frequently called upon to look after this
style Of gentlemanly courtesy practice by men
who wear the blue. This style of gentlemanly
courtesy may suit the army, but not the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia
Our experience as citizens has been quits
varied and at all times disagreeable, both with
privates and majors from the United States
army. We have not yet forgotten that true
type of gentlemanly courtesy, our late Dis
trict engineer, Maj. Lydecker. But we have
about concluded that We have had enough Of
military courtesy in connection with our CITY
government and insist that this gentlemanly
courtesy produced in the United States army
DO confined to where il properly belones.

NEXT OF THE WAR SHIPS,
The Cruiser Raleigh to BE Launched at the
Norfolk Navy Yard.

Norfolk Navy Yard.
The next of our new war ships to be launched
is the steel cruiser Raleigh, now awaiting that
ceremony at the Norfolk navy yard.
The Raleigh is a twin screw. protected steel
cruiser, having length on load limo of 800 feet,
an extreme breadth Of AZ feet and a mean
dfaught Of is feet, says the New York SUM-
Her displacement is 8. ls3 tons. The aggregate
indicated horse power of her engines is to be
10000, and this is to give her a speed of 10
knots, while it is possible it may be nearer 20.
The engines are triple expansion, vertical, in
verted and direct acting, with a high-pressure
cylinder Sc inches, an intermediate So inches
and two low pressure 81 inches In diameter. the
stroke being 80 inches. The collective horse
power of these and the smaller engines
is 10000 at 164 revolutions. The con-
densers have each 1000 feet OF cooling
surface. There are four double-ended
end two single-ended boilers in water-tight
compartments. Two of the main boilers are
Is feet 4 inches in diameter and 20 feet So
inches long, and the other two are IA feet 6JS
inches by 20 feet 81 inches long. The two
auxiliary boilers are IL feet inches in diam
eter by 8 feet inch in length. The work.
ing pressure is l6O pounds. The total heating
surface is Is, 3S2 square feet and the crate sur
face 597 square feet.
Turning now to her armament the main
battery of the Raleigh will consist Of one 6-inch
rifle and ten finch or else 5-inch rapid-fre
guns. originally the latter were to be 4-inch
guns weighing about IL tons each, and
the substitution OF 5-inch guns, which has
since been reported, would require a reduc-
ton of about fifteen tons in the weights else
where in the ship. The 6-inch gun is
mounted on the forecastle, and the
illustration, all being on center-piyot
mounts, protected by steel shields. The sec
ondary battery will consist Of eight 6-pounder
and four l-pounder rapid-fre guns aud two
Gatl'ngs. There are also SIX torpedo tubes,
about four feet above the water, one fixed in
the bow, one in the stern and the other four,
which are training tubes, are ON each broad
side.

Why Not Have All the Encampments Here?
From the Boston Grand Army Record.
There are very many and strong reasons why
Washington should be selected as the place for
all national encampments hereafter. 1t would
be especially desirable for New England that
this should be done. Then all could do as Post
10 OF FItchburg proposes to do this year,
namely. to purchase their own beds, bring
them home and return them the next year. So
OF other necessities. This would be following
New hampshire in the excellent example set of
having all state reunions at the Weirs. where
such excellent accommodations have been pro-
vided. Maine is following New Hampshire in
this matter OF state reunions; Massachusetts
must soon fall in" Now is the time to be
thinking about fixing upon Washington for all
national encampments hereafter. So many
railroads and water conveyances also CENTER
ing at Washington plainly show that for less
money than elsewhere New England can go to
washington every year. And the interest will
always be far greater there than it is possible
to be in any other part of the United States.
