To Make COnsuls Amenab1e to Law.
The House passed a measure amending
the existing laws to make consuls
and vice consuls amenable to criminal pros
ecuticn and requiring the bondsmen of such
officials to be American citizens. This leg
isation was suggested, 1T was stated by
Francis Hinton in Paris and the alleged
embeZZlement by Vice Consul Shropshire
of Paris Of money and valuables left by
Hinton. The case is well known, and when
prosecution of Shropshire was contemplated
it developed that existing law failed to pro-
vide for it, and his securities being aliens,
no recovery from them could be made

JOKE ON SURGEON PYLES

Special From a Star Correspondent.
TAMPA, Fla, June 22.-From the ap-
pearance of the clouds at this time 1t is
more than probable that the District troops
will not go on their semi weekly practice
march this afternoon. The I'd New York
Regiment, which is attached to the same
brigade, came in this morning, and 1t is
the turn of the District men today. Though
1t will probably rain in very short while
the ground is so sandy that 1t very soon
becomes dry. Colonel Harries has issued
no orders on the subject this morning and
unless he receives orders to that effect he
will not take the regiment out. Sunday
afternoon, however, the order to march
was not received until late, and the boys
had to get ready in double-quick time.
They are getting used to rapid work.
Should orders come as late as 4 o'clock
they would be ready to move on time.
The District regiment does more hard
work than any regiment in the brigade.
They drill four hours in the early morn
ing while on their practice marches. and
they drill hard. The work. however, ap-
pears to agree with them and gives them
an appetite for the army rations.
Revenue From Canteens.
The companies are able to add greatly to
their mess by the proceeds from miniature
canteens, in which lemonade and soft
drinks are sold. Colonel Harries allows no
intoxicating liquors within the lines of the
camp, and the nearest saloon is three
fourths of mile off. In the matter of
granting passes to go into town, a very
strict rule has been laid down, and it is
lived up to rigidly. and only three men
from company under a non-commissioned
officer are allowed to go into town at one
time.
When the District troops leave Tampa for
the front they will be found to be we'll
seasoned body of men, who had careful
training in military affairs. Several hours
each day are devoted to the loading and
firing movements and in the extended order
drills The boys learning to drill by
the whistle and bugle signals and are rap
idly becoming efficient in this respect
They are bright lot and catch on quickly.
New instruments expected for the
band, and they are surely needed. The in
struments brought with the band are sor-
ry lot. but are better than none at all. If
some friend of the regiment could influence
the War Department to hurry up the in
struments it would be greatly appreciated
and would fill a much-needed want. Sew
eral members of the I'd New York Regi-
ment, who are accomplished musicians,
have applied for transfer to the District
regiment, so as to get in the band.
Lieut.. ]. II. Griffith today took formal
charge of the commissary department and
Quartermaster Sergeant Meigs, who was
recently promoted from private, but who
has been acting commissary sergeant, re-
turned to his company today. Sergeant
Meigs has made a highly satisfactory and
efficient commissary sergeant and his many
friends in the regiment are glad of his pro-
motion.
