Tho Texas will be the first steel armored
battle. ship ever put into the water for the
United States. While not equal in size
armor and guns % the three battle. ships build
ing at Philadelphia and San Francisco. the
Texas ought TO have nearly knot the ad-
vantage of them in speed. In displacement
she is about equal to the monitor Puritan,
but has much heavier battery Moreover.
as her guns are mounted at greater height
above the normal fotauon line than are those
OF the Puritan, they can be fought in a
seaway which would silence the Puritan's
battery altogether.

ASHBY LIGHT HORSE
Mustered Into Service. But Their Uniforms
DO Not Fit.


The Ashby Light Horse were mustered at
the regimentsl armory last evening, and the
troopers presented very pleasing appearance
in their new full-dress uniforms This com
pany, it will be remembered was organized
some few months ago. and has gained in
popularity and members ever since. Ii IL de-
cidedly swell" and bad the weather been
different last evening many of the iair women
of Richmond's fashionable world would have
been present aud waved encouragement with
dainty handkerchlets and created gallantry by
their most bewitching smiles.
1t was somewhat fortunate, however, that
they were not present. for nearly every man
in the troop could have posed with success as
an advertisement for misfit clothing house.
All Of their measures were taken for the uni
forms, but all Of them are excessively too
large. and many of them would suit
regiment composed Of Mountcas-
Ties or Wits. The Psttibone Manufac-
turing Company, OF Cincinnati. are
responsible for the deplorable state
Of affairs. and any member of that establish
ment at the armory last evening would have
wished heartily for peace instead Of discord.

MORE BRITISH MUTINY.
Life-Guards Revolt" Com
pliance No Longer Obtainable."

(By Angio-American cable TO the Dispatch.l
LONDON. September 29.-The Yorkshire
Post says that as result or the recent out
break In G squadron of the First Regiment
of Life Guards at Windsor the War Office
has decided that the Guards shall hence
forth be treated just like other soldiers
and shall take foreign service Just as other
regiments do. The War Office, the Post
adds, believes that the Guards have beer
demoralized by the greater leniency shown
them and the privileges granted them.
Lord Methuen, commander of the Home
Military District, inspected the Life
Guards at Windsor to-day. He made an
address to the men, in which no said that
up TO Saturday last the regiment bore an
exceptionally good character. He added
that if the man who had caused the dis
turbance would step forward he would
look upon the disturbance as an act of in
subordination only and the prestige of the
regiment would be saved. II the author
of the trouble did not step forward he
would regard the affair as mutiny. Lord
Methuen gave them five minutes to con-
slider the matter. When be had finished
speaking there was painful pause. The
men stood erect and soldlerly, but not one
of them spoke a word, nor did any one
stem ont of the ranks. At the expiration
of FIVE minutes the regiment was ais
missed
The case will be formally submitted to
the Duke of Cambridge, the commander
in-chief of the army.
The trouble in the regiment is said 10 be
due to excessive drills to which the men
are subjected.
The situation may be summed up in the
statement made by a prominent military
officer some time ago, who, in discussing
the mutiny Of tho Coldstream Guards,
said: Uureasoning compliance with or
ders IS no longer obtainable from men who
are permeated with quasi education"
