worked on the lanyard at intervals Of
eighteen inches. When not in use the
lanyard is bighted up and hooked to the
left sling of the knapsack by means OF a
small eye worked on the lanyard"
To those unfamiliar with naval terms
some of the expressions used in the regu-
lations may seem extremely technical,
but little explanation makes all simple
enough. A petty officer is any officer be-
low the rank of ensign, such as the boats
vain, the master, the masters mate. etc.
To blight up a rope means to arrange it
in close form some thing like coil. The
left sling of knapsack is the left fasten-
ing. A stopper knot is one which pre-
vents a rope slipping past a designated
poitn. A Matthew Walker knot is one
that is tied about the rope so that the
hands Of a person holding on thereby
Will be checked should they slip. An
eye is a ring of rope through which 1t is
intended another rope shall pass.
This is the prescribed method of seal
ing the wall: AT the first command the
subdivision company or battalion that
is to mount first will be formed in line
of squads along the wall at such inter-
walls that the rear rank = zach squad
may form on the right of lis front rank
AT the second command, given when the
rear ranks are so formed, all the num-
bers except number four of each rank,
rest their pieces against the wall. Num-
bers one and two then approach the
wall, face each other, advance their
right and left feet, respectively, near the
base Of the wall. place their right and
left hands, respectively, against the
wall, brace themselves, and then inter-
lock the fingers of their free hands,
palms up thumbs pointing to the rear.

sary for either officers or men at such
times as the reguat tions are intended to

One of the most interesting features of
the regulations is that referring to wall
scaling. AS the author of this feature Of
the regulations, Lieut. William ]. Max
well, of the navy, states the maneuver
consists of a simple adaptation of hu-
man pyramids to military purposes.
Says the regulation: "As a maneuver
the practical limit of height is fifteen
feet. but greater heights may be sealed
by extending the principle when cir-
cumstances are favorable. This exer-
else Nill be Of great practical value when
men are compelled to advance in the rear
of houses where walls and fences are
encountered. The unit adopted is the
number four. (That is, four men will
j form the pyramid, and all movements
will be by fours.)
THE first petty officer mounts with the
rear rank of the right four, the second
petty officer with the front rank of the
left four, the third petty officer with the
rear Of the right center four and the
fourth petty officer with front rank of
the left center four. The chiefs of sec
ton will mount with the front rank of
the center four of their respective sec.
tions. The company commander noun IS
as circumstances may require. The
front and rear ranks of each four mount
independently, the rear rank mounting
to the right of its own front rank. For
heights of ten feet or less no special
equipment is required. For greater
heights lanyard is provided. The
lanyard consists of a piece of twelve
thread manila six feet long with an eye

wAsH1NcroN, Sept. 1.-(special

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) The
men of Uncle Sans navy are to taught
how to handle mobs Whether this de-
cision has been brought about by the
frequent eruptions among the labor ele-
ment in the last few years or just on
general principles the naval authorities
refuse to say. Certain it is that the
drills are to be generally introduced anG
the results are expected to be highly
beneficial to good order.
1t so happens that vessel of the navy
IL frequently in a port far from de-
tachment of the army. 1t might also be
the case that some thing would happen at
or within a hundred miles of the place
which would seem to require the pres
ence of United States troops to quell. In
euch emergencies, if the sailors were
properly drilled, great loss of both life
and property might be avoided by tenn
porarily detailing them from the snip
and hurrying them to the scene OF
trouble to remain until quiet was per-
manently restored or troops arrived to
relieve them.
Such is really the object and intention
of the drills instituted, and so sincere
an interest Is being taken in the matter
by both officers and men that there Is
scarcely any doubt that very excellent
degree of proficiency will be reached.
As everyone knows there are a certain
number of soldiers aboard every ship OF
the navy, who are called marines, but
their numbers are never sufficient to per-
NIT them to cope with anything like a
riot. They are the police of the ships OF
the navy, and although sometimes land
ed at foreign ports when display of
force is considered necessary, they al
ways find it necessary to act with the
sailors If any land movement of conse-
quence is intended.
The naval officers who have compiled
the new regulations have introduced
therein a vast deal more of common
sense than is ordinarily found in docu-
ments of this sort. There is no sign OF
martinetism about them, and there are
no long drawn out, tedious and unneces-
sary movements The first of these drill
regulations applying to the formation
Of bodies of sailors detailed to qnell street
riots gives an excellent idea of the whole.
Here it is:
"If practicable, each commander of
brigade, battalion or company should
have map showing all the principal
streets, squares, parks and open places
where force might be rallied. When
practicable it is recommended to utilize
the services of civilian scouts or men

to keep the commanding officer informe

Chinatown when 1 gifts back" said
Chuck Connors as he sang the verse
and executed a double shuttle on the
saloon deck of the steamer Seminole
bound for Charleston, S. c., yesterday
afternoon.
1t was the beginning of Chuck's sec
ond season in the theat trical business
and never before was the star started out
under such peculiar conditions. Chucks
season on the stage last year was de-
voted to doing a terpstchorean turn
known on the East Side as a spiel with
Annie Wilson, the belle of the Chinatown
twirlers. A firm of theatrical managers
who thought they saw good material in
Chuck for an actor engaged him to take
the part of Steve Brodie, B. j., in Bow
cry play. Their reason for dropping
Brodie was expressed by one of the man
ayers yesterday when he said that Bro
die tried to act" Chuck says he will
not attempt to do this. He said that
nobody could bring that charge against
him after seeing him last season, as all
he did was to spiel with his girl. A few
weeks after he began to dance on the
roof garden last year somebody asked
him how long he was going to last on the
roof garden. Chuck. who could not un
derstand at that time how a manager
could be so foolish as to pay him just for
oancing, replied.
ooh, jes till de guy wakes up
Chuch was most gorgeously attired
for his tour of the southern theatrical
circuit. He wore a deafening suit of
blanket plaid. with vanderbilt checks, "
a brown, square topped derby, which he
called bonnet" a pair of patent leath-
err shoes described as kicks" red-hot
negligee shirt which he said ''wrinkled
his heart" and a red plaid tie. He car
ried a heavy walking stick, a heavy
black bottle, and box of Barney Flynn's
fumers. The Chinatown delegation
turned out in full strength to bid hin,
goodby Chuck was afraid he wouldn t
reach the steamer in time if he walked
down the Bowery, and he sent over to
Dinny tn Rat. a Chatham Square night
hawk, for cab. The cab ratified over ia
the Doyer street tenement where Chuck
lived and he bundled in. He chained his
trunk and valise on the top of the cab.
and it started off with several of Chuck s
crories hopping aboard as it Travelled
down the Bowery. Finally the pier under
the big bridge was reached, and Chuck
bounded out with his baggage and made
for the treasurer of the company.
'Hully gee; what dye tink Dinny tn
Rat charged me for tn cab?" he asked
The treasurer looked inquiringly al
Chuck.
"Doller'n' a half" said Chuck, IAN
there was only six of us in it,"
