Very High Average.
Calumet Light Guard
Makes a Good
Showing.
Percentage of 50 Given Them
BY the Inspector General I'm His He
port or the Military EvOlutions
Here some Time Ago.

The report OF the insp ctor general
the Michigan National Guard on the con
dit,on in which he found the Caiume
Light Guard or Co. d. Fifth Infantry a
the last inspection, has just been ISSUED
and an extract from the report was re
ceived lately by Captain Fleige and read
TO the members OF the company at the
drill last Thurday evening.
Although the last inspection, in which
Captain Gardiner of the regular army,
assisted the inspector general, was re-
garded by men and officers as the most
rigid the local company had ever been
subjected to and the boys had little hope
OF receiving anything bit fairly good
report from the inspector, the extract
read that evening gives the compsny
great credit and the general average OF
the organization is placed considerably
above that OF most OF the other COM
panies. The general average vas placed
by the inspector at 80 per cent, which is
the highest the company has been given
for many years and one which the officers
and membres OF the company feel justly
proud Of.
Ia private letter to the captain the
inspt ctor general stated that Company
DIS condition was far above the aver
age and the company was one OF the best
in the state. The extract goes on to
give the different averages, the percent
age Of attendance was 80, there being CD
members of the company at the time, OF
which number 90 we're in attendance at
drill and IA absent. The condition OF
the arm and accoutrements we're placed |
at % each, The condition OF clothing,
condition OF the arnory, the military ap-
pearance and bearing, the discipline. ex'
ecutive ability OF the officers, and the Of
ticer's knowe ge Of drill we're all placed
at an average OF 80 per cent. The non
commissioned officers knowledge OF
drill and the private knowledge OF drill
were each placed at 50 per cent. The
knowledge OF guard duty of the officers,
non.commissioned officers and priyates
was each rated at 90, as was also con.
dtion OF records and oil orders.
The company have commenced the
work OF studying the new tactics
Tn new tactics changes the manual OF
arms in many respects and is designed
for the use OF the new rife which is being
used ia the regular army, and which it is
hoped the national guard will some day |
De fitted out with. The company will
work hard on the new manual OF srms,
which il somewhat difficult TO manage,
as there are many changes from the old |
manual.
The members OF the Light Guard are |
not n little interested in the fight which !
~ going on at Detroit over the regi- |
mental election. The officers balloted all !
hight Tuesday and did not adjourn until
6 o'clock in the morr " when one of the
factions held meeting in snowstorm
ia front OF their armory and elected
ticket which is not likely to stand. The
officers are evenly divided in their choice
OF regimental officers and the matter will
probably wind up in the courts.

MATTER OF THE CHINESE LOAN.
All SIN Makes an Offer to the British Gov

Berlin, Jan. 5.-The Cologne Gazette,
on authority from the best informed
quarters in Paris. announces that since
Thursday last Important negotiations
have been proceeding in London for a
Chinese loan. the attempts made in
Paris and St. Petersburg to arrange
a loan having failed. China
thereupon offered to contract for
G16.ooo,0oo in London, at the
same time asking .. the good offices
OF the British government. China, it
appears. contemplates offering as Sc
ourity the land tax, under the control
of Englishmen, and that, Furthermore
an Englishman shall succeed SIR Rob-
ert Hart as director Of the Chinese i'm
perial maritime customs.
In addition. Great Britain will insist
upon a concession of territory, relative
to which secrecy. according to the in
formant of the Cologne Gazette. must
be temporarily observed. The Cologne
Gazette adds that il is understood
Russia has renewed her offer to China
TO conclude loan in Germany on more
favorable terms than obtainable in
Paris or London.
London, Jan. 5.-The Times comment
ing editorially this morning upon the
statement of the Cologne Gazette denies
that England has any intention to de-
nand territory or to take the lead in
the partition of China 1t says: Eng
lands policy, on the contrary. aims at
maintaining the Chinese empire as a
growing concern and a vast field for
the extension Of trade. In pursuing this
policy we are glad to note that England
enjoys the powerful support of the
