AT CAMP LONG.
Routine of the Naval Militia Interfered
 With by Rain.

Camp Long, Fishers Island, July 22. Though to-days rain interfered con- siderably With the regular routine or duty, the day was spent most protita- ply by the naval militia, who seemed determined to make the most Of the time intervening until Saturday, when they break camp and return to New Haven.
 Most of to-day's work on the Maine was with the siX-inch guns, as the weather conditions were not favorable for the secondary battery drill. Alter inspection about one hundred and twen- ty-five members of the battalion went out to the Maine and then put in con- siderable practice In boat drills. This was followed by lectures, followed by work on the guns.
 To-morrow the Maine will go outside of Block Island for target practice. The ball game which was to have been played to-day between teams from the militia and the Maine will be played tomorrow, if the cruiser returns in time.
 A contest In signalling was held to- day between the first and second divi- sions, which was won by the corps from the second division, and they were presented with a handsome loving cup by Commander Buckland. In the con- test accuracy was considered of chief importance and speed secondary. The first division corps won on speed by four words, while the second division won on accuracy by one word. The first division claim that owing to the number of men that crowded around them they were hampered in their work and it Is among the probabilities that another contest will be arranged be- tween the two corps for prize.
 The battalion drill which was to have been held tonight in front of the Mun- natawket hotel was postponed owing to the weather
 The ball held at the hotel tonight, to which the officers of the Maine and the naval militia were invited, proved a great social success.

remain vacant now, in view of the lack of funds. as we'll as might the vacant lot on which 1t was built. He said that the fire department was to have put in a chemical engine at the new house, but instead of doing this a new steam engine was bought at much greater cost than that for which a chemical engine could have been ob- tained. He said that a chemical en- zine could get around the streets in that section of the city much better than heavy steam engine.
 Mayor Farnsworth explained that a new steamer had been greatly needed by the city. He said that $12,000 was appropriated for the new engine house and its equipment About 7,500 of this amount was spent for the house, and the rest was used to buy a new steam er,, which would be left In the new house until a chemical engine could be purchased, and would then be trans ferred down town.
 MT. Mansfield thought that since the new engine house had been built it should be equipped He said that al- though he lived on Humphrey street, he thought that 8 new engine house and equipment were more needed than the hardening of that street or any other.
 Further consideration of the matter was deferred until the meeting to be held this afternoon.
 An attempt was then made to dis pose of the police matter, and MT. For syth moved that s100 be transferred to the police department for reporting
 station, as. he said, he thought that was 'an honest expense" The motion
 was not seconded, however, and the | matter was dropped until this after l noon.
 This matter having been laid aside, 1 Controller Brown asked what was to l be done with the big advertising bills. | The bills referred to were those for the advertising of the street sprinkling as-
 easements. It was decided to defer con-
 sideration of them until the common
 council shall have disposed of them.
 After deciding to cut the amount for
 hiring inspectors of street sprinkling
 from s1,200 to $500 and to endeavor to have the police report when sprinkling
 was not properly done, the board ad- | journed until 1 o'clock this afternoon.

REEDER Is FIRED.
Governor Hastings Renews His Determine
tion to Figure as Boss.

The political sensation is the enforced
resignation of Gen. Frank Reeder, Secre-
tary Of the Commonwealth Governor
Hastings friends say that he asked for the
resignation as result ST signing the in
Identifying bond for $4,000 deposited
with State Treasurer Haywood to cover
salary advanced 10 extra employees OF the
late Legislature, but this is well under
stood to be a pretext and not the true
reason. The first breach between the
Governor and Reeier occurred when the
latter went TO Europe in the Chairman
ship fight rather than oppose Senator
Quay. Daring the Becker bill episode
the Secretary took a stand with Quay
and Penrose. The next straw which is
said to have displeased the Governor was
a resolution introduced in the North
ampton County Convention recently con-
demning Senator Heller for putting in
an expense bill, which was vetoed. Reed
er was delegate in the Convention and
had the resolution squelched, but at the
same time had adopted resolution en-
dorsing the state administration

Reeder, which annoyed the Executive.
WAS at the State Convention. Reeder
wrote the platform which endorsed the
State Administration in a few words
The Generals friends insist that he wrote
much stronger plank in favor of the
Governor. but he was overruled by the
convention. They think Reeder is being
punished without canse, aud if Hastings
knew all the facts, they believe the Sec
re-ary would not have been asked to re-
sign.

THE meeting in convention of Repub-
lican clubs in WilliamspOrt on Tuesday
and "Wednesday of last week was one Of
the greatest conclaves in the history OF
the organization. Not since the form
alton of the League in 1857, has there
been a more enthusiastic gathering of
young Republicans, and the common
enemy will find that they are very
much in earnest when il comes to fight
ing this fall. The Republican party Is
always in good trim when il comes to
fighting the Popocratic hosts, and its
best fighters are the young men who
compose the Republican clubs. This
meeting showed that the spirit which
has won great victories in the past few
the young men, and that they will
come TO the front again this year and
do their share towards another victory
such an organization is of inestimable
value to a party. Ii not only assists
the borough, city and county party or
CARNATIONS, but it greatly aids the State
organization. When Senator Quay was
chairman of the Republican State Com
mittee he continually counseled organ
izatiOn Of this kind, and it was through
his efforts that the State institution
was brought into being at Lancaster.
That it has been a great help will be ac-
knowledged 10y every State chairman
in the past ten years, and ii is destined
to do much good in the future.
