A Gun FOR MAJOR SYLVESTER.
The Volunteer Reception Committee
Presents !, Rc,ynr rd for ZenI.


Major Richard Sylvester chief of police,
received a genuine surprise last night
which was as pleasant as it was unex-
pected. The major was summoned to the
Ebbitt House by several of his friends and
upon his arrival there found assembled in
one Of the parlors about forty members OF
the citizens committee which had charge
OF the reception of the District Volunteer
Regiment upon its return from Montauk,
after service in the trenches before San
tiago.
Upon the arrival of Major Sylvester the
meeting was called TO order by l.. ID. Wine,
chairman, who informed the major that he
had been summoned to receive from the
committee a slight testimonial of their
great regard for him, and for his untiring
and unselfsh efforts as chairman of the
general committee, which arranged for the
reception of the volunteers.
Capt. George Evans, disbursing officer of
the Interior Department, then presented
to Major Sylvester, on behalf of the COM
mittees, set OF handsomely engrossed res
olutions. These tell of the majors zeal
and earnest efforts, 10 which the success of
the reception was so largely due, and eX-
tend to him the thanks and well wishes of
Z his fellow-citizens for the patriotic duty he
so well performed. They were presented
as Il deserved tribute
After Major Sylvester had responded
feelingly to the action of the committee
men, the tall form of Major William Dick
son appeared at the fore. He carried Il
suspicious looking package which upon
being uncovered proved TO be a magnificent
gold and silver mounted double barreled
shotgun OF the latest pattern. Major Dick
son said they were aware that the popular
chief of police was a great gunner and
! fisherman, and they had therefore decided
10 give him something as a pleasant re-
minder that would speak louder than
words" After a pleasant exchange of cour-
tesies the meeting was adjourned

From nm AIcxandrin Grocer

One Of the wholesale grocers of Alex
andria has written 10 the District Com

TIE GERMAN NAVAL BILL.

Berlin. Dee. 2.-After fortnight Of

ing of the budget, which always leads
to serious and heated Debates the inn
portant part OF which will he the al
vance fight for and against tho new naval
bhl The whole energy Of the Emperor
and the Government will be used toward
making the bill law. and thls sccllr-
ing for Germany the second place IN lie
world as naval power. After survey
inc the parliamentary field, it seems
pretty probable that the bill will pass.
No doubt German public opinion ovfr-
nAeEmlngly favors the bill as the peo-
ne believe. with the Emperor. thnt II IS
absolutely necessary for Germanys coll
tinued prestige as world power and
for the extension Of German trade. Be
side the conviction is now held generally
here that France need no longer be
feared az a serious military competitor,
she having reached her ultimate limit in
increasing her army, adld being unable
70 compete with Germany's additional
fifteen millions Of inhabitants Thus. it
may be said that Germany now has her
hands free for naval expansion.
The Governments purpose to trans
form Enpden, hitherto small North Sea
harbor. into first class naval poet, has
become palmer every day. The first IN
stallment of 9,500,000 marks for this
improvement will reach the Pruss;an
Diet after it's reconyening. The Govern
ment Will also erect big naval ship yards
and dry docks Mt Einden. The dry
docks viii be pushed so that number of
the vessels demanded by the new naval
bill can be built 1T Emden.
The desirability of The United States
having suitable permanent emHassirs
abroad is again unpleasantly illustrated
by the humiliating experience Of Am
bassador White, as cabled to The Asso-
ciated Press Wednesday, and by the
fact just revealed, that Minister Harris,
at Vienna, is undergoing 4 worse expert
ence. Mr.. Whites trouble is hSe.y TO
be tided over. as ii is understood that
the little Government of Baden has
offered to allow the American Ambassa-
dor to continue to occupy the top flat
Of the building it purchased, until the
end Of President McKinley's term
Since Mr.. Harris arrived in Vienna he
has been vainly searching for a suitable
house The difficulty is the unwilling
ness of Austrian landlords to rent 10
Americans.
Mr.. Harris predecessor Bartlett
Tripp. had dispute with his landlord,
and the latter sued Mr.. Tripp success
fully. He pleaded eJ,territorial terri
tory hut without effect Even the
Vienna tradesmen are disinclined to sup
nv any one connected with the Legation,
unless paid in advance. Both these III
cidents are causing much astonisned
talk in diplomatic circles at Vienna and
Berlin, and many disparigilg remarks
have been made against the Jnitec
States policy in this respect.

At quarantine today it was said that
the first lighter load of coffee from the

was concerned, to pass on up to the city
at noon. 1t was the intention Of the
police to not permit any lighter from
the Taylor to pass up North River
although definite orders to that effect
had not been received, and the agents
for the cargo had not been informed
whether they would be allowed to send
the coffee up to Poughkeepsie, and there
discharge it.
