finding them useless, have had them per-

Another thing about the building is the
condition of the interior of the roof The
big iron rafters have remained implanted
since the building was turned over to the
department. and its dirty red appearance
is in disagreeahle contrast to the big white
walls. This also will have to be painted

ORDERED TO FORT RILEY.
Siege Battery o, 7th Artillery, Going
Away,


In accordance with the recommendation
oil Maj Cen Miles change has been or
dered In the garrison at Washington bar
racks. Siege Battery o, 7th Artillery,
which has been stationed at that post ever
since Its organization. has been ordered to
Fort Riley Kan. The change is made in
order to increase the efficiency of the siege
battery. which ia new feature in the mil
tary organization of the United States
ihefe are but two such batteries in the
army. The other one is at Fort Hamilton
\. Y There are much superior facilities
TOT ornl and target practice at Fort Riley
than are possible within the limited boun-
CARES or the Washington barracks The
transfer of Battery Q will take place as
soon as the necessary transportation ar
engagements can be made. The movement
Oh the huge siege guns and platforms by
ran Is somewhat formidable undertaking.
II Is said at the War Department that
tnere Is no present intention Of sending
l1gbt Battery NJ, Tth Artillery, away from
W asninston barracks, but 1t is admitted
that one of the infantry regiments in the
Philippines may eventually be assigned to
tnat post. That, however Is a contingency
OF the somewhat remote future For sew
erau years past Gen. Miles has favored the
conversion of Washington barracks into an
infantry station in order that the artillery
troops there might be utilized in the Goa at
defenses. Action to this end will nrohshIv
be taken when the regular troops return
from the Service in Cuba, and the PhiIin-
pines.
