that Christ was the foundation of the
Church and just before the close of the
meeting the Rev. DR.. Pierson. in short
address, which was enthusiastically
cheered. declared that the bishops words
were susceptible of two constructions. He
declared further that the conference must

! The present and final trouble caused by
! General Harries is the result Of the testi-
mony given by Colonel May in the CHS
! holm court martial in which the latter
! was bold enough to speak the truth. even
/ though this did not please General Harries.
| The general could not have an official in
! his command who would dare rebuke the
| hero Of Camp Ordway. so it was a small
matter TO charge Colonel May with certain
| things and have him hauled up before a
| board Of ambitious young friends and petty
! officers, and a finding of incOmpetency
brought in as result. It is not expected
that this case will be handled as easily
as was those against Lieutenant Colonel
O'Brien and Captain Chisholm as the mil
itary officials have tired of the Harries
feuds and the humOrs connected there
with. The petty meannesses wrought upon
Colonel Urell and others have not been
entirely forgotten, and it has been con-
cluded to bring the matter to a close by
making it so hot for Harries that he will
be pleased to see the organization dis
banded and glad to get a chance to send
in his resignation.
The remnants OF the rapidly disorganizing
body are hanging together by threads and
in more ways than one the entire organ
izatiou has become a farce under the
vacillating policy Of its commander The
sentiment in this case is all with Colonel
May and against the cause of disruption
and the feeling is unanimous that Harries
must go. even though the Guard goes with
him as the existing portion of the body
founded by General Ordway would hardly
do credit to anything, save General Har-
ries. who regards it as a monument to his
colossal efforts at suspension for such Of
fences as those pertaining to sartOrial com
petition with the commanding general. As
a result designations and discharges have
been so frequent that the clerks have tired
Of keeping a record and have let the men
come and go. As to the status Of the
present case it IS claimed that it is being
treated as a huge joke or a tasty bit from
a comic opera. by all except Harries him
self. who believes implicitly in his power
to run the Guard alone,

1t was stated by the friends of Colonel
May that this order Of Suspension oDer-
ates for ten days only. during which time
charges must be brought against Colonel
May. unless he is discharged meanwhile
