introduced to Police.

William West and Joseph Toby made
their acquaintance with the Washington
police today. They are newcomers in the
city but it may be that they will stay here
g month or so in enforced retirement. They
have been spending the two or three nights
since their arrival in the municipal lodging
house, but if they remain here any length
OF time they will probably be CHARTERED in
a more commodious building and have a
greater number of companions than here
tofore. About noon today Wandering Will
lie and Jogging Joseph were acting in a
suspicious manner at Cobbs Hotel. They
were found inspecting several Of the rooms
and the fact that an overcoat or hat is not
missing is probably due TO the promptness
OF the police IN escortng them to the first
precinct station mouse. There they were
searched, and large part of the stock in
trade of a scent variety store found in
their possession. They offered to leave town
If they were not locked up. but Lieut.
Amiss thought it better to have their cases
passed upon by Judge I<imball and they
will be sent 10 the Police Court for trial.

ONLY ONE BID.
Very Little Demand for the Naval
Observatory Lands.

Very Little Demand for the Naval
Observatory Lands.
There appears to be very little demand
for the naval observatory lands to be sold
under the provisions Of the joint resolution
of August 1, 1894, establishing the observa-
tory circle. The government property. not
needed for the circle, was recently apprais-
ed. surveyed and subdivided into eleven
plats. Bids for the purchase of these lands
were invited by public advertisement, dated
February II, and were to have been OPEN
ed and considered at the Navy Department
at noon today. Chief Clerk Micou and Act
ing Judge Advocate Laucheimer constitute
did not have much trouble about 1t, as only
James R. Ellison. and was for a portion of
plat L, at 35 cents per square foot Cthe ap-
praised value). This tract Is triangular
lot containing 1918 acres fronting upon
Massachusetts avenue extended on the
north abutting directly upon Observatory
Circle or the west. This tract, which has
not been subdivided, is appraised at $1S-
$50 So. Mr.. Ellison proposed to take the
northern corner of the tract, comprising
about one-third its total area, and to pay
at the rate of 35 cents a foot. or $3.50 in ali.
The section that he excluded from his bid
includes strip about 100 feet wide, border
the circle and included in the line of the
proposed boulevard around the circle.
The action of the Navy Department on
this matter is not settled, but it Is probable
that fresh proposals will be invited.

PREPARING FOR NEW LONDON.
Work Being Done by the Yale an
Harvard Crews.

Work Being Done by the Yale and
Harvard Crews.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March. 1s.-Har-
vdrd's crew has now been on the river
several days, most of the time in pair-oared
working boats, and the new men are begin
ming to get. accustomed to the feeling of a
real oar. The fact that no training was
done the first days of last week has given
rise to the report that the men were over
trained.
For the last four weeks, on the days on
which the men rowed, their labor has been
something like the following: A twenty
minute stretch Of rowing, which Is almost
the length Of time 1t takes for a four-mile
race, at least a half-hours work on the
chest weights and a generous run.
The stroke set is not at all slow, liberal
number of pounds Is used on the weights.
and besides this work. which takes couple
Of hours in the afternoon, the men are ex-
pected to take additional exercise in their.
rooms with apparatus which has been fur
nished them.
The college has the greatest faith in
Coach Watson, and he is being supported
as no other coach has ever been before.
He Is working hard to turn out a winning
crew, and has undoubtedly had experience
enough to know how to keep men from
getting down too fine"
NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, March 1s-The
presence Of the old coachers last week had
u good effect on the Yale crew, and 1t is
now in better form. The faculty has for
hidden Bailey, the varioloid victim, to re-
turn till March %. This probably places
Miller at stroke. Bailey was being tried
at stroke when taken sick.
Last weeks snow seriously hindered the
nine. and the field will not be fit for use
again before the last of this week. Parker
has proven himself capable coacher. and
Is. developing some speedy new pitchers,
there places
men to fill the prospects for a good nine
are bright.

A PRACTICE MARCH.
Presidents Troop md the Contem-
plated Summer Outing.

Presidents Troop and the COntem-
plated Summer Outing.
The members of Presidents troop A, or,
as the organization is officially designated
in National Guard circles, the first separate
company, are considerably wrought up over
a proposed practice march in July next in
conjunction with the famous troop A of
New York city. The local cavalrymen are
booming, just at present, the membership
of the troop now numbering sixty. which
is high water mark. Troop A of New York
city is known throughout the land and
generally conceded to be the finest troop of
cavalry outside of the regular army. 1t is
composed of young men of high social po-
sition, and until recently young George
Gould was an active and enthusiastic MEM
Der. The troop owns handsome armory
building in New York city and is COM
manded by Capt. Roe, who as a regular
army officer, gained all the experience
needed to place his present command sec
ond to none in the National Guard.

repeal the act of 1888.
