Trouble seems TO be ahead for some OF the
guardsmen, officers as well as men. 1t all
comes from privates and non commissioned
officers wearing their uniforms on the street.
On election night one company appeared in
body onthe streets in uniform and spent the
evening running up and down Pennsylvania
avenue. Last week another company put in
several hours on the streets in uniform, and
their actions were so boisterous as to attract
general attention. Speaking on this subject,
Gen. Ordway said:
The uniforms of the National Guard be-
long TO the United States. The law prohibits
their use except for duty. 4 man must take
of his uniform after drill and put il in his
locker. That is what the lockers are for.
Ny attention has been called TO this matter in
an unofficial way, and il / hear anything
more ABOUT it, an order will be issued from
headquarters. Captains are responsible for
these uniforms and will have them explain
why they are worn on the street. l have such
case on hand just now. 1t was reported to
me that a certain private took his uniform
with him when he went home on his vacation
and his captain has been ordered TO report to
me why this was done. l will be after some
one hard, if this is not stopped.
great many rumors have been rife lately
concerning the security of the new Armory
building. Gen. Ordway said to THE TIMES
representative: "All such talk is bosh. The
building is not pretty, hut it is strong. While
it was being erected | went to the late build

has at times cverstepped his authority es-

compel the enlisted men to attend church

and sadder. Guard duty is to blame for this.
The first night enough volunteers came for
ward to guard an army corps. but one night
was enough. Discipline is the only thing
that can get one out now In 1890 the troop
distinguished itself at the brigade camp by a
charge made on a floating saloon. Fifteen
demijohns and numerous beer bottles we're
destroyed, and for the remainder of the week
the troop guarded the river front, keeping of
all sellers Of liquors. 1t was hard work. but
the boys were thanked from Headquarters.
The great event of its history, though, was
the famous march TO Winchester, by way OF
Harper's Ferry, and return The march
created great interest among guardsmen all
over the country, and two officers and four
teen troopers from Troop A, of the New York
National Guard accompanied them. Skir-
mishes were fought. rivers forded and peace
full hamlets ruthlessly invaded. No causual-
ties were reported. however and the troop
reached Washington in frst-iate shape. In
