THE LEAVE TO PRINT.
Only Thirty-Six Tariff Speeches Have
Been Printed Under Pcrmission

When the House Of Representatives re-
ceded from its disagreement to the Senate
amendments to the tariff bill, Il granted
ten days leave to print" to all its mem
bers-that is to say, members who had not
been given time to speak during the debate
were given leave to print their speeches in
the Record as though they mad been de-
livered. Only thirty-six speeches on the
tariff have been printed since the permis-
sion was given. A part of this number are
speeches that were. in fact, delivered vn the
floor, but were withheld for revision. In
several cases one man has more than one
speech inserted.
In the Senate, during the long considera-
ton of the bill, the democrats have very
generally refrained from making speeches
on account of the time IL would require
Since the bill has passed a few democratic
Senators sought TO make speeches on the
bill, but the republicans objected ID their
delivery, and there being no voting quorum
of Senators in the city they We're able TO
prevent IL.
1t Will be seen from this that the majority
of congressman of both parties do not In
tend to present tariff literature to their
constituents this fall in the contest they are
making for reelection.

THE CAIsSOE EXPLOSION.
Return of the Ordnance Expert Who
Intestigated 1t.

Captain Roger Brnie the ordnance ex-
PERT who was sent to Fort Sheridan, near
Chicago, by Gen. Fiagler, chief of ordnance
of the army, to Investigate the recent ex-
plosion Of a shrapnel SHE'LL has returned
to Washington for the purpose Of making
a report in regard to the cause OF causes
of the accident. He brought with him
about a dozen fuses taken from the lot of
shells which were defective, in order that
they may be subjected to scientific tests.
Ordnance officers are thoroughly convinced
that the recent explosions of caissons at
Chicago were due to defect in the equip
ment of the shrapnel shells. This device,
faulty in construction. and therefore more
dangerous to friend than to foe, is today
under the ban of the army. and 1t has been
ordered out of service. The shells are not
much more valuable than scrap iron, and
their retirement makes necessary the adop-
tion of some other invention of exploding
projectiles. 1t is also probable that a new
form of caisson will be adopted, the one
now In use being nearly a century behind
the times, and practically obsolete.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HERE.
They Arrive in Large Numbers and
Go Into Camp.
SCENES Al HEADQUARTERS and ELSEWHERE.
All Are Pleased With the Arrangements Made for
Their Reception and Entertainment

for all who desire to camp. We should
have at least 200 more tents Aside from
the lack of space and tents, all the arrange
ments are as complete we could wish
The sanitary arrangements are most per-
rect, ard In spite of the heavy rain of yes
terday the men passed a comfortable night
THE various brigade commanders have
not yet reported to me as to the strength of
their several commands, so am unable to
more than roughly estimate the number
Of men now In camp. A rough estimate
has placed the number who spent last
night in camp at $500 men. Commands
from all points have been coming in rapidly
all morning, and 1 think we will have at
least 1900 men in camp tonight"
Col. COEgins' Regiment.
The first regiment, Uniform Rank
knights of Pythias, Col. Harry Coggins in
command, moved In last night, headed by
the Glen Rock Brass Band. They marched
as we'll as any con mand yet seen in camp.
They were cheered and applauded as they
passed the headquarters of the Massachu-
setts brigade. and knots of Pythian officers
around Gen. Carnahan's headquarters gave
forth enthusiastic plaudits. But for the
fact that the regiment had inforrna ton be-
forehand that 1t would be impossible for
them to secure quarters in camp they
would have turned out very much stronger
than they did. They moved through the
monument lot with somewhat over two
hundred in line. and they corld very easily
have turned out with four hundred.
Col. Coggins was at headquarters this af-
ternoon and took out of camp such per-
sonal baggage as he had sent before In ex-
pectation of living In camp during the week.
The Washingtonians are much disappointed
by this turn In affairs. as they had figured

knights are glad that they have come in

Committeeman George w. Heisley limped
In camp today, from the result Of an in
jury received last night at the Pennsylva-
MIA station. His division, Columbia, No. 3,
Was on escort duty. and because Of the &C.
centric management Of a baggage truck
Mr.. Heisley was thrown violently to the
ground and sustained a severe injury to the
right knee. 1t Is probable that he is Sc
verely hurt, but. under the excitement of
the time. he has braced up and is on duty.
Provost Division Experts.
Joseph A. Reed. captain Of Provost Di-
vision. No. 1. first regiment, Missouri bri-
gade. was in headquarters today. His d.
vision is scheduled for participation in the
competitive drill, which is to begin on
Wednesday at the 7th street base ball park.
He will carry fifty men into the fray, and
is here to win. He started out this morn
ing with the purpose Of looking over the
ground and taking a survey Of the field on
which they will drill. He seems to consider
this of very great Importance.
Provost Division has been at work IN the

monument lot today, and If there is any
other division In camp which can beat 1t,
that division knows how to drill. The Pre-
vost people took first prize in the maiden
drill at Kansas City two years ago, and
won the first prize in the Missouri state
drill last year at st. Louis. A large per-
centage of the comrades In this division
are members of the Missouri National
Guard. and have had vast experience. both
in the armory and tine drill field. Expert
ence in this lire counts for a great deal.
Companies that do beautiful work in pri-
vate or simply in the presence of frier1s
don't do 1t always when they face the
judges. Stage fright holds good in COM
petitive drills just as much SO as In anna
teur theatricals.
Trouble occurred this afternoon in that
part of Camp George Washington occupied
by the Ohio brigade. The special officers
who have been employed by the camp au-
thorities have not, as yet, been provided
with badges, and two specials went into the
brigade street for the purpose of clearing 1t
of people who had no lawful business there.
The buckeyes disputed the authority Of the
unbadged specials. and for little time war

During his trip Professor Harrington made
number of interesting observations. The
temperature of the water of Lake Superior
was found to be very low, going below 40
degrees In the summer months of July and
August.

on guard mounts and dress parades during
the entire term Of their encampment. The
tnsufficiency OF accommodations In camp
deprtves them of the pleasure and exper-
fence which they might have otherwise OBJ
tanned.
They Are Piled with Questions.
The committee on information looks very
sleepy today. 1t was on duty all night, and
dealt out tons Of what its name indicates
1t can do. Messrs. Medford, Carter, Could
Baumann and Thompson stood their ground
Ike knights, and answered quite number
of questions. 1t is really surprising how
much strangers do not know about the
city. Gentlemen from Texas, South Dakota,
Maine. and other districts not directly ad-
jacent to Washington, have propouhded in
terrogatories which man from Anacostia
could not think to ask. But everybody
nation all the information he has
wanted.
Mr.. Boyd, Of directory fame. has aided IN
the efficiency of the work by contributing
six copies Of his valuable publication. They
are besieged today with inquiries as to the
location OF divisions. but these are questions
which cannot be answered by any one.
The location of brigades Is known at head
quarters. and the only way to find a d.
vision Is to hunt up the brigade headquar-
ters and there unearth the spot occupied by
the division. Divisions, unless they come
into camp as such. do not report to Maj.
and brigades, and no list of the divisions in
camp can be obtained at headquarters.
The overflow of Camp George Washington
has begun with a vim. The order has gone
forth from George E. Emmons that the Vir-
Ginia knights shall be quartered in the
Aston building, on 11th and c., and the
New York lily soldiers have been assigned
to the Barber & Ross building Some COM
motion Is being occasioned by the unsus-
pected numbers in which the uniformed
Knights are coming in, but the committees
are doing heroic work in the matter Other
buildings, are being cast around for by the
committee in which to house the coming
men, George E. Emmons, Geo. W. Heisley
and other members of the citizens commit
tee are on the ground, and things are
aking up.
Quarters VIII BE Provided.
General Carnahan has been assured that
quarters will be provided for all the Uni
form knights of Pythias who may come,
and the citizens of Washington are pre-
pairing to make good this pledge. Quarters
IN camp have been provided for ten thou
sand men, but II seems now that the num-
Der of knights will be swelled to thirteen
thousand. The reason of this is that at
the last moment some of the western roads
cut rates on their own responsibility with
out authority, it Is said, from the Trunk
Line Associations, which have all along re-
fused to encourage the encampment The
cut has come too late to make the en-
campment as big as 1t would have been
had the railroads acted differently In this
important matter.
The Pythians are much incensed at their

The State Department was today informs

object of this notification to the Secretary
OF State was for the purpose OF insurfng
