WARFARE OF THE FUTURE.
Gen. o. O. Howard's Lecture for the

warfare OF the future was the subject
Of an exceedingly interesting discourse de-
livered last evening by Gen. o. o. Howard
at MetZerott Hail. The lecture was loF the
benefit OF the colored Y NJ. c. A OF the
District, aud was attended by fairly
large audience, the greater part OF whom
were white people Interested in the organ
iZatiou.
The lecturer was introduced by Gen. w
w. Curtis as a great military instructor,
under whose teaching many OF the l,Iers
of the late war who had won distinction
had been educated at West Point.
Warfare, Gen Howard said. began with the
early populating of the world and has con-
tiuued, at intervals, ever since The sol
fitted mentally. and bodily, as well as at
heart, for his avocatiou.
Iu this country, he said, there were three
great considerations which entered deeply
into the causes and results of all conflicts.
These are the propelling sentiments of the
nation, our system Of international la wv +,
and the armament of the country. Aside
from this, another great factor which has
much to do with the inspiring of warfare
was the war spirit of our fathers, which is
fostered by the younger generation.
But, he said in conclusion, we must listen
to the advice aud patriotic teachings of
our forefathers and Of our living veterans.
Then referring to the veterans, he said:
There are those who say we are banded
together only to gather money from the
government, but it is a lie. All we want
to do is to protect the nation, and with
health and the spirit born and fostered
within us, we win protect our he ritage of
freedom with our lives"

The Republican steering committee OF
the Senate held u meeting yesterday after
noon for the purpose OF arranging an order
of business for the remainder OF this seS-
sion OF the Senate. The measures that

for the refunding Of the debt OF the Pa

Importance
While these matters Will. by the raCit

WERNER HAS CONFESSED
Unfurnishsd Room Bunco Worker
Captured in Baltimore.
He Was Operating There Under an
Alias and Detectives Have
Identified Him.

DR.. William C. Fricberg, alias Werner,
Herman aud Weimer, the man who sue
cessfully worked the unfuruished room
game in this city, was yesterday captured
by he police OF Baltimore and held in that
city TO await the orders OF the Washington
authorities.
He was arrested on description sent
out by Inspector Horiuberger and yes
terday Detectives Carter and Gallagher
went to the Monumental City and had Il
talk with the prisoner, He made full
confession to the officers, admitting his
guilt in every case they brought up against
him. The man gave no excuse For his
conduct beyond saying he was without
funds aud sorely in need.
He took the easiest course OF making 1t,
and a smooth tongue, combined with
slight knowledge OF medicine and very
engaging manners helped him wonderfully
Despite his confession the police are in
Ciined to the belief that the man Is not
hardened criminal and has diverged from
the straight and narrow path on but this
occasion.
Frieberg, or Werner, the names which
he used most frequently while IN this city
city, employed a rather novel means or oD-
tanning money from the unsuspectmg
persons whom he YictmiZed. Being orgood
address and appearing to be man or EN-
inent respectabilty he found little diff
Guilty in passing himself as a physician.
In this lie was assisted by smattering of
medicine, which lie had acquired.
In that capacity he would engage rooms
and after having fitted them as offices
aud sleeping appa rtments he would occupy
them several days and then go To his
landlady with Il complaint of certain drafts
not coming as expected and ask for the
| loan Of a small sum. say $40, with which
to tide over the temporary difficulty.
This was seldom refused and the man
would offer receipted bill for the furn!-
ture he had purchased as security. When
he received the money he would at once
| depart for pastures new, and the confid-
| ing landlady would find herself minus
| to the tune of what had been advanced.
| As the man had purchased the furniture
ON the installment plan it could not be
| realized upon in payment of the loan, still
being the property OF The firm from which
| it was purchased.
Some Of Frieberg's dupes i'll this city
were Miss Defendorf, OF No. 1914 Fif-
| teenth street northwest. from whom he
secured $50; Mrs. W. A Rocks, No. 10C5
| o street northwest, who was taken in to
| the extent of half that amount; Mrs. Cox
No 1910 o street, and Mrs. Champion, goa
| street southeast The Doctor viii
probably be brought to this city before
the week is out. He win be tried on the
charge of obtaining money under fal
| pretenses and should he lie convicted o
each count which the detectives have pre-
pared, he win spend quite number oi

With the Surety.

Mr.. Arthur Ferguson, one OF the coun-
sci for Francis j. Kieckhoefer, telephoned
Judge Miller about 3 O'Clock yesterday

Judge Miller waited until 4:30 but 10
bondsmen were secured Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Jeffords and one of the
clerks in Mr.. Birney's office went over
to the police court and awaited develop
ments. Lawyer j. F. Riley, who is a
personal friend OF the ex-disbursing Of
ficer of the State Department, was clos
eted with Judge Miller and Mr.. Jeffortis
for quite a while. Mr.. Riley is retained
for the defense and made an effort-a
fruitless one, howeyer-to have the bail
reduced.
He told Judge Miller, it is understood
that they had three men ready to furnish
bond but one of the sureties had $6E0
mortgage on his property.
AT present l don't suppose he would
be acceptable" said Mr.. Riley, because
/ know your honor is little peculiar on
such points"
Yes, Mr.. Riley" returned Judge Miller
dryly, Il must say / am peculiar in re-
quiring clean title to property from bonds
men,"
Mr.. Riley hustled out and met a num-
ber OF ne wspaper men on the steps of the
court house. Mr.. Riley said they would
be able tn furnish bail this morning at
1890. One OF the reporters asked the
name OF the bondsmen.
"Oh, we can't tell you,' he replied.
Just about that time Mr.. Ferguson, Will
lam Hornaday John Henry Murphy, con
tractor, and Della Hudnell, equally
well known i'll sach business, were III a
restaurant across the street.
| 1t was said that Hornaday. HudneI and
Murphy are the gentlemen who will Sc
cure Kieckhpefer his liberty this morning
| by signing his bond. All three refused to

Judge Miller, in talking with Times

liarity touched on by Riley The judge
said u great many people were commenting

Judge Miller said even if Kieckhoefe
failed to furnish bail he would not neces

FAVOR AN INYESTIG ALTON.
Charges Against the brooklyn Navy
Yard VIII he Looked Into.

The subcommittee of the House Naval
Committee who have been considering
charges that mechanics employed at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard have been Improperly
discharged, agreed yesterday to report a
resolution to the full committee favoring
an investigation of the yard during the
recess of Congress.
This resolution will be considered by the
full committee at their next meeting and
If it be adopted the investigation will
probably begin at as early a day as prac-
ticable after Congress adiournS. The
basis OF the subcnmmittee's resolution is
found in two resolutions introduced re-
spectively by Mr.. Fischer, OF New York,
ana Mr.. Otey. OF Virginia.
Mr.. Fischer's resolution refers to the
reports that the mechanics employed at
the yard who obtained their places after
competitive examination were discha rged
by the constructor upon the alleged ground
of incompetency. The Otey resolution was
inspired by The International Association
OF MachinistS, which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, whose mem
bers charge that they did not receive fair
and proper treatment at the Brooklyn
yard.
one OF the members of the subcommittee
said yesterday that the testimony furnished
to the naval court of inquiry which was
recently held at the yard satisfied them
that a Congressional investigation of the
matter was demanded.
