The association adopted resolutions re-
citing that it had witnessed with no little
pride the work performed by those of its
members who participated in the Spanish
American war and resolving that the aSso-
citation unites with the soldiers of the army
and citizens of the United States generally
in expressing our admiration for Maj. Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, commander of the United
States army, in his conduct of the war and
especially of the campaign in Porto Rico
brought to a successful termination under
his personal supervision. His work was in
accord with Gen. Hancocks estimate of
him: Had we all such men in command
of our troops we could never suffer disas-
ter He is one Of that class of command
ers who seeks the enemy and fights him
never hides his troops when the cannon
sounds in his ear"
The resolutions further congratulate his
command and his many friends everywhere
on the high character of the services per-
formed during the active campaign against
the Spanish by Maj. Gen. John r. Brooke
and that we appreciate the confidence re-
posed in him by the President of the United
States, the Secretary of War and general
commanding the army, in appointing him
military governor of the Island of Cuba.
Lastly, the resolutions recite that the
association unites with the friends and SOL
dicrs of the District Guard, known as the
1st Regiment of the District of Columbia
in commencing the zeal and efficiency dis
played in that organization by Maj. NJ.
Emmett Irell.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
For Removal of Weeds

The District Commissioners have for
warded 70 the chair-nen of the two District
committees in Congress copies of a bill
drafted 10y their direction to provide for the
removal of weeds from vacant lots. The
bill has been heretofore published in The
Star. and in urging its enactment the Com
missioners say:
The conditions. the abatement Of which
is sought by this bill. are the cause of a
great deal Of complaint by persons residing
near vacant lots. on which the class of veg
citation in question is permitted to grow
without restraint. Some kinds of weeds
are deemed menace to public health be-
cause q certain inherent properties which
they possess. while others contribute to the
same result through their luxuriance and
size, as convenient places for the clandes-
tine deposit Of putrescible and other often
slVe or deleteriOus matters. and are a
further menace to the public comfort and
safety, and conducive to immortality by af-
fordinE resorts for idlers and others, and
thus facilitating depredations on contigu-
Gus property, and other reprehensible acts -
