NAVAL BATTALION.
a Question of Following the Blue o.
the Red Book.

n question OF Following the Blue or
the Red Book.
A meeting Of the commissioned officers Of
the battalion will be held this evening in the
COURTROOM of Justice of the Peace Grey TO
organize an association for the general
good.
There has been no perceptible change re-
garding the little squabble between head
quarters and the sdjutant. and the effect is
apparent in the battalion. The Squabble
may be traced to the difference Of opinion
as to the source of authority governing the
battalion, consequent in measure upon
the underlined status Of the battalion and
the peculiarly Of its organization, imper-
feet at best.
The acting battalion commander. Lieu
tenant j. j. Fitzgerald. pins his faith ab5o-
lutely Oh the blue book Of tie navy and
viii not look elsewhere, while AdJutant
Brooks governs himself by the red book OF
the y. c. c., tie organization being re-
quired under the law to conform only gen.
orally 10 the provisions Of the laws OF tile
United states and IN tie system Of CisCip-
line and exercise rs nearly as may be to
that of the navy, but otherwise controlled
by the rules and regulations in the red book
so far as the same are practicable to those
governing the navy.
The acting battalion commander has
Ignored this provision and so the friction
results. The permanent commander desIg-
mated the place where the official mail
should be received and IN changing such o.
der the acting commander has violated
paragraph % If the rules and regulations:
An officer in temporary command shall not,
except IN urgent eases, alter or Bunul the stand
Ing orders OF tie regular or permanent com
mander without authority from The next higher
commander
No urgent case has occurred to order bat
talon Headquarters changed or the official
mail delivered elsewhere; but if there has
no authority has been obtained from the
next higher commander, which is the adju-
tant-generaL Headquarters have been re-
moved TO and mail ordered sent to public
messenger delivery Office, where obviously
no records can be kept and which in no par
ucular is a proper place for headquarters
" bile thus blndly following the blue
book and ignoring the red book the acting
commander seeks no counsel with the adju-
tant, the adjutaut is without authority 10
move and thus so far no order has been
issued for the muster and inspection next
month. True, there IS nothing IN tile keep
ing Of the battalion, belonging TO the State,
which can be inspected, but the battalion
is a part Of the \. g. c. aud not of the L. ).
n, and the general order for the muster, at
least applies TO it as much as any other p0r-
ton OF tie States military and naval forces.

Actresses conceal their maternity from
the public because they fear that theater-
goeTs lose interest in woman who is the
mother Of big. fat. bouncing boy. and. iu-
deed, it does spoil the romance of love
scene to suddenly call to mind that the
soubrette, who does not look a day over
10, has half grown son or daughter at
home.
Roslna Vokes has several grown children,
but she leaves them in England and rarely
mentions their names in America. Quite

TACT that she is to bring out her eldest
daughter during the coming season in
London.

A few nights age the child stood In the
wings OF the stage watching her mother act.
Never having seen the whole Of the per-

act there is scene where Marion Miss

at the canvas and softly repeating endear-
ing epithets she had once bestowed upon
the original. The divorce came shortly after
this, and the mother parted from her boy
for the balance OF his young life, and turned
to the excitement Of the stage as means OF
support.
She is still rs proud OF her boy as ever

SHIRAS' NOMINATION.
Cameron Will Oppose Confirma.
ton at All Points.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The senate
Judiciary committee met for the first
time today since the anti-option bill was
disposed of by it, and took up the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Shiras to be associate JUS
tice of the supreme court, but after
considering it for an hour adjourned
until tomorrow. 1t was made evident
at the session of the committee that the
nomination is not to be confirmed with
out opposition. This will not probably
take the shape of dilatory tactics in coil-
mittee, intended to prevent the report
of the nomination to the senate.
Messrs. Mitchell and Plat were the
only Republican members of the conf
mittee In attendance, and, in tact, are
the only Republican members in the
city, while the four Democratic mem
berS were present. The latter could
easily break a quorum and prevent a
report. If so disposed; but it is probable
that they will content themselves with
expressing any dissatisfaction they may
feel toward the nomination by voting to
recommend its rejection.
Thus the matter will be brought be-
fore the senate, and this. after all, is
what Mr.. Shiras' friends desire (al-
though, of course, they would be bet
ter pleased with favorable reporD,
for they feel confident that the
nomination will easily command a
majority when the question is put on
confirmation. But Mr.. Cameron's in
fiuence Is said to have been put forth
with marked effect among the Demo
cratic senators, and aideG by Mr.. Butler.
he has reminded them of the assistance
rendered by him in defeating the cleo
tons bill and in passing the silver bill
as reasons why they should support
him in his opposition to the nomination,
SO the outcome is doubtful. 1t is prob
able that the judiciary committee will
act upon the nomination tomorrow and
thus transfer the subject to the senate.
The senate today confirmed the NOM
nations of Andrew d. White, of New
York, minister to Russia; a. LoudOn
Snowden, of Pennsylvania, minister to
Spain: TruXton Beale. of California,
minister to Greece, Roumania and Ser
via; John c. Hotchkiss, of Iowa, sur
