FOREIGNERS SURPRISED.
They Marvel at the Absence of Militia
~ Display.

WASHINGTON. March 2i-Spccial.-
Foreigners who visit this country are sur
prised to find so little evidence Of outward
military life They pass through the
streets of New York and Boston and
PHILADELPHIA and rarely see a man in
uniform. When they visit the National
Capital they see a few soldiers belonging
the barracks. on the streets but they re-
mark the absence OF the militarism so
familiar 10 Europeans. Here in Washing
ton they look I'm vain for soldiers about
the public buildings. They are surprised
10 find that no sentinels wearing the uni
form Of the United states army are found
I'm the White House grounds. The Presi-
dent has two or three officers Of the army
detailed for duty AT the Executive Man
sion but only on the occasion OF state
functions are they seen I'm uniform. More
eurnrising still is the fact that no uniform
f. seen i'm the army and navy building.
There are many army and navy ofilcers-
al least thirty i'm all--on special duty IN
tho building. but they wear citizens
dress. Mator-Coneral Miles the COM
handing officer of The United States army
occupies a suite OF rooms I'm the army
and navy building. over his door Is
sign-board reading: "Thc Generals Oi-
flee" In the ante-rOom captain - III
charge. But he is attired always in civil
ian dress. This gentleman. by the way
is a counterpart Of Captain Frank w.
polite. obliging, and styl-
ish. General Miles wears natty gray
suit with no suggestion Of military rank.
No orderly. as i'm war times of thirty-odd
years ago. Is on duty at the Generals
Headquarters. The one messenger ana the
one doorkeeper employed are civilians,
who have passed the civil service eXami-
nation. All this makes an impression on
the minds of foreigners. They find that
we have a republic characterized by sim
plicity indeed.

ALEXANDRIA. Va. November i5 1898.
The career of a bicycle thief in the region
of Fairfax county. adjacent to this city,
has been brought to an end by the police
and a strange story brought to light The
police department here had been asked to
look out for stolen bicycles. Accordingly,
Lieutenant Smith searched the rural dis
trict of Fairfax county near the town of
Franconia and succeeded in securing six
machines. which he brought to this city
Yesterday another was recovered and this
morning another. Detective Gallaher of
Washington has identified the wheels.
A resident near Franconia this morning
stated that at intervals of two or three
weeks during the past three years, col
ored man had been appearing in the neigh
borhood and diSpoSing of very good wheels
"a low price. He came alone and brought
only one wheel at a time. There had been
nothing in mis- actions to arouse suspicion
and his visits came to be expected by those
wanting bicycles. He had given his name
to some persons as Jim Smith and to others
as Billy Williams. Ii stated that the
country in this vicinity has been well
stocked with wheels by this man. No ar
rest has been made far, but the officers
are working up the case.
