The outlook for an ea-ly fall boom In
Georgetown property is predicted as. fiat

sales Of West End property that pleases
the Georgetowners to an unusual degree Is
that most of the purchasers have been

experience In investing money. 1t indicates
that the faith in Georgetown property is no
longer local, but Is taking hold Of shrewd

Police Superintendent Bull Of Buffalo has
received word from the chief 81 the Detroit
police that General" Jeffries and his 3GO
hoboes have left that city on the schooner
Grampian, en- route to Buffalo. If they do
not stop at Toledo they are expected 10
arrive in Buffalo today. The city officials

right lively reception. The health depart
ment will prevent their landing by irsti-
tuting quarantine against them. The POOR
department will give no assistance IL they
succeed in landing, and the police arc in
structed to 'vag'' them as fast as they
show foot or earth. Superintendent Bull

Treasury officials have, so far, heard moth
ing from Assistant Secretary Hamlin in re-
gard to his purpose. as telagraphed from
Tacoma today. Of recommending the pur-
chase Of four fast steam launches for duty
In Puget sound and Columbia river with a
view to suppressing opium smuggling. The
scheme, however, has been often recon-
mended by customs officials, and 1t is now
thought that Mr.. Hamlins personal knowl-
edge of the situation will result in its being
carried into effect. Hitherto smugglers
have met with no serious obstacles in their
operations. owing principally to the fact
that their crafts always have been much
faster than the boats used by the officials,
and except they were cOrnered they have
had no difficulty in escaping arrest. The
value of opium annually struggled into this
country across the northwestern frontier is
believed to be very large, and 1t has been
maintained, for several years past, that the
expenditure Of 10 per cent of the amount
lost would equip the service so 1t could
practically put an end to smuggling opera
lions in that section.

The Naval Militia Learn Somethfu
of Light Sixnalfnr,

A"S N"SaA MILITIA Learn Something
Of Light Signaling.
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Greensport, r. l., dated yesterday states
that some Of the most Interesting work of
the naval militia embarked aboard the
cruisers San Francisco and New York Is
the signaling. Some Of the militia signal
men are equal in rapidity and accuracy
to the best regular service men, and they
rarely miss any opportunity fer practice
Besides exchanging many messages with
the Ardois system of signals Monday night
the San Francisco turned on her search
lights. Immediately the New York fol-
lowed suit and the militia men were prac-
ticed in throwing beams of light from the
great refiectors all around each ship, as If
to detect any torpedo boat or other hostile
craft that might try to approach the
cruisers under cover of darkness. When
the New York's four powerful projectors
were focused on the San Francisco the
latter stood out against the black distance
so radiantly lighted as to resemble a fairy
ship suspended on the horizon.
The amount of surface lighted up by the
beams was not wholly satisfactory, owing
to the height of the lights above the water.
The danger zone" so to speak, was linn
tied. owing to the great angle at which the
beams struck the surface.
While the men were at dinner the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin came and
anchored between the two cruisers. Ad-
miral Stanton, accompanied by Flag Lieu
tenant r. G. Smith, paid a visit to the as
sistant secretary of the navy aboard the
Dolphin. followed shortly after by Captain
Philip and Commander Miller from the
New York. Secretary McAdoo, accompan-
led by his naval aid. Lieut., w. H. Schuetze.

chusetts naval militia In the, Atlanta.

Distinctly Seen.

The feasibility of signaling from the men
of-war to distant stations on land and from

was successfully established by the naval
militia on board the cruiser New York and

division of the New York battalion from the

ing.
The distance between the ship and the
station was at least eighteen miles. yet the
search light thrown to the right or left, as
fag would be in the "wigwas' code, could
be distinctly seen with the naked eye and a
message thus transmitted from the New
York to the effect that the Newark had re-
ported at Gray Head was easily read.
