time of peace as well as to those
for whose benefit it was originally
intended. As was said by the
District supreme court, ut Is not
likely that Congress intended to
discriminate between the citizen

establishment"
The opinion, says the court, is
not unmiudful of the Iule that
repeals by implication are not
favored, but another rule or con.
struction tq1ally sOuGd aud well
settled is applicable to the Case,
and that Is that the later act mast

former act, especially where it
covers the whole Case and en-
braces new provisions.
Tue court disagTees with the
condition that Congress, in the act
Of 1883 regulating the detective
force, recognizing the Army and
Navy clause as still subsisting,
but says that even if Congress
supposed it still in existence,
when, as matter OF fact, it had
b. en- repealed, it would make no
difference.
TIE question is: Was 1t repealed? ?
and that Is judicial question.

sees nothing running counter t.

KANSAS Cry, No., August 21.-camp
George B. Shaw. where the uniform
rank K. Of F. go into encampment, was
transformed to-day from silent city Of
tenantless tents into scenes of bustling
activity. Companies, regiments and
brigades were arriving in the camp
throughout all day, settling down in
the quarters and accommodating them
selves to the necessities OF camp life.
The various regiments Of Missouri brig
ade have been assigned to reception and
escort duty and the day was q busy one
for them. Thirty-eight hundred men
went into camp to-day.
Two hundred and four trains were re-
ceived at Union depot. 1t is estimated
that their passengers aggregated 1900,
including $500 members Of the uniform
rank, who arrived to-day. Despite the
fact that this was the Sabbath, tho dec
oration OF the streets on the line Of
march to be included in the big pa
rade OF Tuesday afternoon was contin-
ued. The decorations are not nearly
completed, but already the streets pre-
sent gay scene with their tluttering
blue, yellow and red flags and bunting.
AT Camp George B. Shaw the decora-
tion of the tents was begun, and the
glaring white OF the tents is being re-

coIuMBus, O., August 21.-A saloon
operated by S. G. Carson at Galloway,
eight miles west of this city, was
blown up by dynamite Saturday morn.
ing. 1t is little prohibition town OF
15o inhabitants. and war on the one
saloon Of the place has been in pro.
gress for some time. Carson lived
with his family, consisting OF wife
and four children, in q large eleven:
room brick honse on the same side OF
tho street as the saloon and about
twenty-five feet fromit.
This morning about 4 O'Clock he
heard loud report, Immediately fol-
lowed by a crash and trembling OF the
structure in which no was sleeping. In
vestigation showed that the saloon
building was in ruins. Part OF the roof
and the ceiling had been lifted skyward,
the floor had tried an excursion in the
same direction, while the front was
blown out. Glassware was wrecked and
the hoops blown of the whisky barrels.
Investigation as to tho manner in
which the dynamite had been placed
in position disclosed that tho man or
men who did the work were in the
alley and had inserted the dynamite
under tho building by tearing of a
piece OF siding, attaching the explosive
to q board about nine feet long and
showing the board and explosive under
the structure. The board shows where
the fuse burned. A mistake made by
the perpetrators was when they placed
the dynamite under the center OF the
floor, for there tho heaviest weight was.
by reason Of the whisky barrels. a
little further over the resistance would
have been less and the result would
probably have been complete demol1-
ton OF the building.
The people of the hamlet tried to
vote the saloon out by the local option
law, but the farmers and others de-
feated them. They tried to have the
place Incorporated, expecting when
they got village council they could
abate the nuisance, but owners Of farm
land nearby fought them before the
county commissioners and beat them
there. A new proposition TO- incor-
porate was then presented to the COM
missioners. tits pending now.
A wholesale liquor firm in Columbus
owns the building, and they announce
they will rebuild and rent for the same
purpose. They closed out one w. w.
NetI, who had the saloon rented some
time ago. The detectives are working
on the theory that the latter knows
something about the destructive work.

Tho Ohielals Say the Presence Of the
Militia Is Necessary.
BuFyA1o, N. Y, August 21.-The chief
military officials now located here are
tonight satisfied that the calling to
Buffalo of over half OF the national
guard Of the state was q wise and neces-
sary move. Adjutant General Porter
with General Doyle and other officers
made q tour OF all the military camps
to-day, and their observations resulted
in the conclusion that the force here,
considering the great amount Of terri
tory to be covered and the vast amount
Of property that has to be guarded,
was not excessive.
General Porter stated to an Associat-
ed Press correspondent that he was de-
cidedly OF the opinion that there was
need for all the troops that had been
called upon. He said that IL these
great railroad properties are to be
gnarded, II the men at work are to be
protected from assault and IT the roads
are to be opened for regular traffic,
there certainly are not too many men
on the ground.
General Porter shook his head when
asked how long the troops would re-
main here.
General Doyle, when asked If he
thought there were enough troops
here, said the fact that he had to-day
ordered an extra company OF militia
from Hornellsville, was sufficient evil
dence that he did not think SO.
