81 suppose the next great war will be the
most costly Of the wars of history Senator"
said 1
Yes was the reply. "a number Of our
battleships have cost between three and four
millions of dollars. We appropriated SIS, O00 600
for two such ships last year. 1t costs an
enormous amount to run these ships in time
of peace, and a half-hour's naval action
will eat UP fortune The cost of the wars
of the past have been enormous. According
to an estimate of the French and German
statisticians, which I have lately seen, the
wars of the last thirty years have cost the
world more than $13, 0000, 600, 900 in money and
the lives nf 900 men. France paid more
than three and half billions for her war with
Prussia. and it is estimated that that war
cost the Germans 5000 100000 more than the
indemnity which they received The Crimean
war cost about 81, 900 900, 0OO and the war be-
tween Prussia and Austria of 1866 cost over
$500, 600, 600. The war between Russia and Tur-
key is estimated to have cost $125, 600 900. I
believe that a war between England and the
United States, if it should ever occur, would
result in greater loss of money and life
than any of the wars OF the past, and sin
cerely hope that such an event will never
take place. I believe, however, that it is our
duty to be prepared for such an event so
that when the fight does come we will be
able to defend our honor and ourselves

Unfortunately. however, for the friends

view those gentlemen aS 10 the prospects
of getting unanimDuS consent TO have the
measure brought up before the House dur

endeavor 10 procure the introduction and
passage of the hill.

AMONG THE LOCALS.

Carpenters Assembly, No. l74S K. of L.,
met i'll regular session on last Monday even
ing in Society Temple, Fifth and q streets.
Master Workman William F. Moran occu-
pied the chair, supported by full line OF
officers, and large percentage of the mem-
bership was present.
Reports were had from the District As
Spmbly, Federation of Labor. Building
Trades Council and the citation committee.
a communication was received from the
Building Trades Council asking the assembly
if il did not think it was time To decide to
live un to the constitution and rules OF the
council, as the aid and protection of the
council was requested by the assembly. IN
ans wer 10 the communication, the secretary
was directed to request the councilto speci-
fy what laws or rules the assembly had
violated.
The delegates from the agitation com
mittee requested the members who were
called on TO sign liquor saloon licenses TO
furnish their names to the committee. In
response 10 the request quite a number of
the members furnished their names and also
those of others who would withhold their
signatures from the petitions OF the saloon
keepers if requested by organized labor.
Several members called attention to the
charges that had been made against certain
individual members OF the Bricklayers'
Union that they maliciOusly tried to injurC
the reputation OF members of the Assem-
bly,.
Brother W. z. Carr stated that the master
workman and himself had waited on the
BricklayerS at their last meeting in refer
ence TO the charges, and had been cOurie
ously received and given fair hearing. al
though after being admitted they had told
the BrickayerS they were there as indi-
vidualS and not as d committee repre-
senting the Assembly. The action of the
master workman and Brother Carr was, On
notion unanimously indorsed. II was
then announced that from published ac-
counts of the proceedings of the Brcklay
ers' Union no formal action had been ta ken
by that body, because the committee had
not been authorized by the Assembly. i.
The members present were very positive
that + Il regular committee was appointed
the Brjcklayers would do justice to the mat
ter, therefore on motion a Committee was
appointed to wait onthe Brckla yers at their
next meeting.
Owing TO the large number Of letters re-
ceived during the past few weeks from
former members who have been suspended
for noii- payment of dues, requesting to be
informed ON what terms they could be re-
instated, it was decided that some liberal
terms should he offered. The opinion of the
members was that very large proportion
of the applicants for reinstatement had not
become suspended through any willful in
teution to violate any of the principles Of
unioniSm, hut it was through their inability
to keepup their dues, caused 10y the unprece-
deuted business depression of the past three
wears 1t was therefore determined TO Of
fer a general amnesty for the next six
months TO al applying former members.

usually too tired to spend their evenings
in this way. He also told the stay-at-hOmes
how the Georgia marksmen explained the
skirmish range and posted their visiting
rivals on distances.
Lieut.. Young read a lengthy report on
the doings of the team. He also had
watched most closely the Georgia methods
of conducting the association shoots. He
found some valuable infor nation and
gave it to the men. He told the members
of the corps that the Georgia people were
better individual marksmep than anything
else. They rather lacked in team work.
He warned the marksmeD that the Georgia
people expected to have a tip-top team

The Ambulance Corps is pu.illig riEnJ up
these days. At the inspection there were
but three men out OF a membership OF
twenty-scven absent These men were
unavoidably detained. After inspection the
corps proceeded to Chevy Chase on their
first road march OF the season. The next
day was spent in drilling both with and
without iittcrs. thus familariZing the men,
bers with the actual duties they will have
to perform at camp this summer. Mr..
Winemuilcr. the genial host OF the Trestle
Club, permitted the use of his fine drill
ground and ball field and prepared the
excellent meals for the corps. A visit
was made TO the Jones mansion in the
afternoon. At this historic old mansion
Gen. Washington stopped over night on
his return from Fort Duquesne in 1855.
Many relics are preserved of that time and
occasion. which Mr.. Jones takes pleasure
in displa ying to those who call. Another
road march is contemplated soon. The
corps will be in such good condition soon
that it VIII be an absolute pleasure to fall
out of the ranks at camp this summer.
The first day OF the National Rifle AS
socation for the season was great sue

custom of the Georgia marksmen, and at it
they went Col. Clay commanded one and
Capt. Bell the other. Col. Clay's men won
easily, though Capt. Bell made the best
score at the range. The following is the
score:
Col. Clay's team-Col Clay, 51 Lieut.
Tiutterly, 80: Mr.. Wilcox, 55; Mr.. Colloday,

Hereafter all the shoots of the association

that they will be more largely attended
