The Rain Interfered.
Affairs at Camp Ordway were decidedly
uncertain yesterday so far as the weather
conditions were concerned. During the early
afternoon showers began, but not much at
tention was paid to the slight rainfall. Later
on, with the sun shining brightly, visitors
began to enter the camp grounds in con-
tnuous stream. Dark clouds were next
noted however, and in a few moments
after first call for dress parade had been
sounded rain fell in earnest. The wind blew
strongly and as the moments passed the
downpour increased in intensity. Recall
was thereupon sounded, and, much to the
disappointment of the visitors, many of
whom had driven miles to reach the camp,
the evening ceremony was omitted. Within
an hour the fall of the rain sackened and
later ceased for the time being. Those who
braved the elements and remained enjoyed
the evening concert given by the National
Guard Brigade Band. The program was
we'll selected and the numbers were artis-
tically rendered.
The rain continued to fall at intervals
throughout the evening. Chief interest CEN

way to the guard tent the prisoner uttered
threats against Captain Moore.
In behalf of Norbeck. Captain Hodges re-
quested General Harries to appear as a wit
ness. The general informed the court that
he had known Norbeck for a number of
years when the latter was in the regular
service, and that he had served as the
mounted orderly of the witness in Cuba
during the Santiago campaign. General
Harries added that the man had always
been thoroughly efficient. careful and active
and was one of the best soldiers he had
ever known.
The court adjourned at late hour until
s O'Clock this morning, when Captain
Hodges will submit an argument in behalf
of the accused. Although Norbeck pleaded
guilty to the charges and the specifications
he insisted that he was i'll at the time the
order was given. He called the attention of
the court to his previous good record.
At the Rifle Range
The 4th and the 9Th Battalions are at the
rifle range today firing the prescribed
scores. For the natives of Montgomery
county the work before the targets seems
to possess a marked fascination 1t is all
new to them. They assemble each day in
large numbers along the firing line and sit
on the nearby fences and really gap with
wonder.
An inspection and muster of the entire
command is scheduled to take place to-
morrow under the direction of Major Chas.
I'll. Ourand, inspector general of the mill
tia. 1t is to occur at $50 o'clock in the
morning. Organization commanders are
unusually busy today preparing muster
rolls.
The commanding general sprung a sur
prise on the brigade this morning. Ac-
ccmpanied by his mounted orderly he was
astir and moving through the camp as
early as 4:5O o'clock, and at reveile seem
ed to be everywhere at the same time He
probably picked out every man in every
company who was late in falling in for
roll call, and who was not properly dressed
and equipped. One battalion was found
lacking-very much so. IN fact-but the
remainder of the command made salts

the use of the field telegraph testing ap-

o'clock this morning communication was
re-established from that point on. There
was great deal of delay in locating the

CAMP ORDWAY, GAITHERSBURG,
Md, July 4.-One of the most interesting
events Of today at Camp Ordway was a
surgical operation performed on one of the
horses in use by the ambulance corps. The
animal had been so unfortunate as to come
in contact with a barbed wire fence A
large artery in one of the legs severed,
and the horse was slowly bleeding to death
when its condition was discovered. Maj.
Henderson and his assistants held a con-
sultation and decided on the operation. The
horse was chloroformed and the severed
artery brought to light and repaired in
thoroughly scientific manner. The patient
was standing under a tree this afternoon
apparently as unconcerned as though moth
ing out of this ordinary had occurred.
Visitors Expected.
Aside from the foregoing the regular
routine of camp duties occupied the day.
By reason of the storm yesterday and the
pleasant temperature now prevailing an I'M
usually large number of visitors are eX-
pected in camp this afternoon in time to
witness dress parade.

telligent citizen In the District could take
a day to study ii at Gaithersburg. Such
visit would dispel any idea that the Ma
tional Guard is made up of play soldiers
and that its annual enca mpment is a picnic.
If there ever was such a state of affairs
here, there certainly was in a number OF
states before the Spanish war, there is ab-
solutely no warrant for believing that it
still exists. In the careful inspection which
/ made on Saturday, accompanied by a reg
ular army officer, First Lieut. Love, now
acting as adjutant general of our National
Guard. / saw that, he said. the encamD-
ment was strictly military and thoroughly
busineSslille. And as l reviewed the guard
after dress parade and the beautiful cere-
mony of trooping the colors l saw real SOL
ders passing. ready for real war tomorrow.
Every one of the twelve or thirteen hundred
men who have taken so much Of their sum-
mer vacation for this strictly public serv-
ice. from the commanding general down to
the last recruit, is there for business and
shows il all the time. Colonel Love, VINO
has seen number of militia encampments,
told me that he never saw a better one.
and that, indeed, Ii compared favorably
with camp of regulars, which is the high
est praise. Officers and men work hard at
the rifle ranges, in the drills and maneuvers
and parades, and in all the incessant rou-
tine business of the camp. They made the
camp themselves. with nothing but the
bare fields waiting for them, and il is a
credit to them in its fine appearance. In
the newspaper reports of such an encamp-
ment the social and anecdotal features are
naturally most conspicuous, SO that you
have to for yourself to realize how
hard and how efficiently officers and men
work and how much they accomplish.
Il have no difficulty in accepting the
statements of regular army officers that our
District National Guard is now better than
ii ever before, thanks largely to its
experience in the Spanish war and to the
high standards of character and discipline
which have been 50 steadfastly maintained.
l am told that hundreds OF applicants are
rejected every year now. because they are
required to come up to the high require
ment of the United States service. Member

ice of which any man may well be proud"

liberty faced a new generation bear
ing in their hands the faded flag of Il
generation that has passed into his
tory. Senator lIawley, of Connecti-
