1t will be seen from the above that
the school is already full almost to
overlooking, Notwithstanding the fact
that number have been refused adj
mission from the outlying districts.
1t was expected that this year our
school would be able to accommodate
all who desired to attend whether
residents or non-residents, but the
increased attendance has been so
great that it now looks as though
considerable trouble will be exper-
fenced in finding room for the resi-
dent pupils, and the board are already
confronted with the problem how to
supply additional seating capacity
for the present, and next year will be
called upon to provide additional
room. If we may judge by the
growth of the public school surely
Weiser is entering upon an era of
prosperity.

visit us, and we think it is their
duty to do so. j. I. WOLFE,

Not only had they not moved, but there

before that time.
The two companies from Richmond with
about 100 men reached Alexandria at IL 81
last night, and went to the armory of the
Alexandria Light Infantry. Seventy-five
members of the latter organization re-
sponded to the call, and the entire party
left Alexandria about midnight TO make the
march, nearly nine miles, over the dusty

The march was made without stop and

THE COMMISSIONERS ACTION

The Industrial army. known as Frye's
army. that has been campcd at Rosslyn. at
the Virginia end Of the Aqueduct bridge.
was expelled from Virginia early this morn
ing. the orders of the governor to that effect
being carried out by Adjutant General An
derson, with a force of state militia. The
'industrials'' went upon the AQueduct
bridge, and there they remained all the
morning, uncertain as to the reception
they would receive from the police on the
District side, but very certain that the SOL
diery line of pickets on the Virginia side
would not permit them to re-enter the Old
Dominion. A little after noon, however,
they crowded into the District and camped
on the towpath near the bridge.
The District Commisso ners have been
seeking today some solution of the problem
thus presented to them, and succeeded
in arranging this afternoon to have the
army camp temporarily I'm the old naval
observatory grounds until the uninvited
visitors can be sent in some way from the
District

other day that the "commonwealers must

Pass the Free Library BnI-Other
Important Measures.

Next Monday will be District day in the
House, and the District committee is MAX
ing preparations for a field day 1t is con-
sidered very probable that this will be the
last District day of this session of Con-
gress, in view of the probability of an ad-
journment of Congress within two weeks,
or, at least the, near approach of adjourn
ment, with a consequent pressure Of ap-
preparation bills and other business likely
to crowd out the District The friends of
the District are, therefore, lining up for a
busy day on Monday, and are entreating
their colleagues to be present and help
maintain quorum.
What Chairman Heard Says.
Il shall make a determined effort to get
the day." said Chairman Heard, land / see
no reason why we should not succeed.
There are several very important measures
which should be taken up and acted upon,
and which 1 shall push to the front
The first bill which shall call up will be
the public library bill, and shall give it the
nrst opportunity of passage"
Other Bills of Importance.
The other bills of Importance on the House
calendar are as follows: The bill to author
ize an Issue of bonds for sewer and street
improvements; bill for the sale of burial
relative to per cent greenback bonds OF
the District; a bill to promote anatomical
science, together with a number of private
measures.

The Charges Agninst the Afro-Amer-
lean Bureau of Organization.
The civil service commission still has un-
der investigation the charges against the
Afro-American bureau of organization. The
charges are these of soliciting contribu-
tons from government employees for al
legged campaign purposes. The charges
implicate Robert Still, chief of the Sc
called bureau, and c. H. ]. Taylor, recorder
OF deeds for the District of Columbia Let
ters were sent, II is known, to a number of
colored employees, and II is thought were
sent to all in the executive departments
Letters bearing the signature of Mr. Taylor
have been sent to the same employees di-
1ecting them to call upon him at their ear
Hest convenience If they would consult
their interest. 1t is also charged that let
ters OF solicitation have been sent by Sem
ator Charles p Faulkner, urging contrihu-
tons for the fall campaign Just what evi-
dence the civil service commission has in
support of these charges cannot be stated
with an assurance of accuracy, though the
matter Will be published by the commits
sion in report form In due time. The only
reason the commission objects to giving
cut the information at this time is that
such a course might impede the investiga-
tion, which the commission desires shall
be thorough. 1t is understood that the
civil service commissioners believe that
they have strong case against the impli-
Gated persons.

tired soldiers broke ranks and established
a camp in opposition to that Of the COM
monweal only short distance away.
Adjutant General Anderson did not expect
any trouble but he did not intend to get
caught mapping. He had a duty to per-
form and ne intended to perform II to the
best of his ability. The crowd of OBJ
jectionable half-starved men had to leave
the state, no matter whether the Washing
ton authorities refused to allow them to
cross the line or not. All the general had
to do was to get them out of the state.
He expected that the Washington police or
militia would be over at this end of the
bridge. but one of the Alexandria soldiers
said: "Our $50 men can keep them out of
the state"
The Advance Movement.
1t was precisely 6 O'Clock when the militia
moved forward to carry out the orders of
the governor of Virginia. The morning gun
at Fort Myer belched forth a roar, as IL

strides of the soldiers were taken in time to
the clear, sweet tones of the Georgetown
College bells, as they pealed forth a sum-
mons to the faithful for prayer. There was
absolute silence in the ranks, except so far
as occasional jingling of accouterments oc-
