"Nothing that I know of--why?"

up over something Look here-do you
suppose-did you ever hear about GER

II heard-yes. Why?" And the look
of disappointment which had appeared
in the grave face of the colonel gave
way to one of alert interest.
"Just read that" said the staff Of
fetal, holding forth letter. 'Begin

And Armstrong read, his forehead

From Canker's own admission learned
that he accused Gray of having knowl-
edge of the whereabouts of that packet
of letters stolen from Gen. Drayton's
tent, and the youngsters reply was
furious. Canker had to place him in
arrest and prefer charges. When
asked if he were sure of his ground in
making so serious an accusation, he de-
clared he had proof positive, at least
he would have the instant they reached
Manila, and his intention was to take
the boy along with him to be tried there
by court-martial, where mo meddling

sidered himself out of my jurisdiction,

LAW REGARDING FIREARMS.
An Amendment to the Police Resu-
Iafions Submitted Yesterday.

Article TX, section 5, Of the police reg
ulations OF the District of Columbia, rela-
tive TO the discharging Of firearms and
fireworks. has been recently considered by
the Commissioners. At different times the
matter has been under discussion by the
District Attorney and by the Chief of Po-
lice.
Yesterday the Commissioners referred
to Attorney Duvail an amendment which
is the outgrowth of the several sugges-
lions offered by those who have given the
subject attention. The proposed amend
ment to the rules is as follows:
Sec 8. No gun, air gun, rife, revolver,
pistol, or other firearm, cannon, torpedo,
firecracker, squib or other fireworks shall

ent of Police nor within 100 yards of any
schoolhouse, building or buildings, play
ground enclosure for stock, or railroad
track in the District of Columbia, without
the written consent of the owners or oc-
cupants OF SUCH and special permit from
the Major and Superintendent of Police.
Provided. that this section shall not APP
ply TO licensed shooting galleries, TO the
discharging of firearms or explosives in q
performance conducted in or at a regularly
licensed theatre or show, and that the Ma
jor and Superintendent may suspend the
operations of this regulation or any part
thereof on occasions of public celebration
or on holidays"
