HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA.
Soon to Pass from Control Of British
Military Authorities Int
Naval Station.

Halifax will soon cease to be a
military station and pass exclusively
under the control of the British adj
miralty. This statement was lately
made in official quarters, says the
Ottawa (Ont.) Citizen.
Halifax has been a military station
since 1749, and il is now proposed to
make the ely one of the greatest
naval stations in the world. In addi-
tion TO the men of the feet there
viii be a reserve consisting of about
1000 soldiers and marines, of which
600 will be marine artillerymen. This
naval reserve force viii retained here.
Information states also that royal
engineers will be retained and con-
tinue under and in charge of the
submarine department. The royal
marine artillery belonging to the re-
serve force will be required to man
the forts. and will, when necessary,
be assisted by sailors. II is the in
tention 10 station in Halifax a regi-
ment known as the royal garrison
regiment. This will be recruited
from time-expired men, who will be
required to serve four years before
going on regular service. The gar
rison will, of course, be under com
mand of the admiralty, and the Brit
ish admiral will replace the army
general, who has hitherto command
ed the station.
II is also stated that the works at
Esquimault will also be transferred
wholly TO the admiralty department.
A military officer stated in CONVEX
sation the other morning that he
would not be surprised should an
nouncement be made that the impe-
rial government had decided 10 con-
struct and operate a factory near
Halifax for the manufacture Of small
arms and ammunition.

Refreshments were served.
 1.-The funeral of Michael McNamara took place yesterday afternoon from tn family residence on Charles street, with service at St Patrick's church by the Rev Father Gleeson and intermant in the new St Joseph's cemetery.

THE ELKs' BAZAAR.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at Elks'
 Hall Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon the general committee in charge of the big Novein- Der Elks' bazaar, held its regular meeting. Chairman Thomas E. Guest presided and the meeting was attend ed not only by every appointee on the. committee, but by members of the lodge desirous to offer suggestions in response to the committees invitation.
 The meeting lasted about two hours and was full of interest. Everything continues to point to big success and a substantial addition to the lodges charity fund. Aside from many details under discussion, the committee voted as follows:
 "In the matter of canvassers it was decided to issue about forty books and thirty well known and hustling young women have already volunteered for that purpose. Guarantees for the re- mainder of the list were freely made and the committee decided to issue the canvassers' books next Thursday even- ing"
 The committee voted to engage the American band orchestra for the prom enade and dance music throughout the bazaar and also secured the services of the popular and well-liked prompt CT, Frank Mccormack, for the entire bazaar.
 In conclusion. the committee decid- ed to announce that one of the special souvenir features of the bazaar will. be march composed by Bandmaster Fulton of the American band and ded- icated to the lodge. Mir Fulton has composed several pieces of merit and this is promised to achieve much pop ularity. local and otherwise. It is full of bright, feet-moving measures and the score will be enclosed in an at tractive and Elk-like cover. It will be sold throughout the bazaar at q price for which anybody can buy 1t and will be prominent in the orchestral selections of each evening.
 Some 1.5OO combination books have already been distributed by the ticket committee and many important towns of the state have yet to be supplied. The committee adjourned to next Thursday evening when the canvas sers books will be distributed.

 ssIt is a long lane that has no turn :" This well known saying may be aptly applied to the Brooklyn A. c. After being in the lead for the entire sea- son they now follow in the trail of the Washington Hill A. Q. as result of being defeated by the St Josephs at Riverside park yesterday afternoon by the score of 7-5. That the import ance of the game was realized may be judged from the fact that over two thousand people witnessed the game. They were strung all along the first and third base lines, extend ed deep into the field and united in the rear of center field. The grounds were roped off and the players were given clear field
 Among the star players of the Brooklyn A. o. were Lachance, Der win, Scanlon and Hoffman, while Joe" Connor of the Cleveland Ameri- can league team, Fitzpatrick, local state league team. Tuckey, Derby state league Graham and Sullivan of Portland. The game was beautifully played and there were many pretty plays which elicited unstinted ap- plause from the large audience. Grand fielding by DerWin and Kane, the

catching and throwing to bases of Connor, the batting of Scanlon and Tuckey, were features of a game which was characterized by general good work on the part of both teams. It was hard luck for the B. A. Q. to lose, but they were outplayed. They were weak at the bat. Several times they had one or two men on bases with one out, but they were unable to score.
 Kelly started to pitch for the Brook lyn 4. c. but only lasted four innings, during which time the St Josephs scored six runs. They were blanked in the first two innings, but scored twice in the third on huff of Cav anaugh's grounder by Moriarty, a clean hit by Tuckey, a neat sacrifice by Fitzpatrick and a base hit by Con- nor. The crowd was in great glee when Joe was caught mapping on first base as Umpire Kiely declared, though many did not agree with his decision. Kelly was batted rather hard in the fourth. Sullivan, the first man up, banged out a two base hit, while Ma loney and Graham followed with sim gles. After an out by Byrnes, hits were made by Cavanaugh and Tuck ey. In the fifth inning Hoffman was substituted for Kelly and it was a wise move. The final score might have been different if the Torrington crack had pitched the entire game Only one hit was made off his deliv- cry and only one run was scored While he was in the box. The winners made their final run in the sixth on a hit by Maloney, two outs and an error by Moriarty.
 The E. A. c. started like winners. scoring two runs in the first inning. A base on balls to Maloney, base hit Dy Derwin, poor return of the ball by Maloney to the plate, and an error by Byrnes did the work. Tuckey then settled down and not until the sixth did the B. A. 0. score again. Tn this inning they made two runs on an error
 by Byrnes,. a scratch hit by Cronan, two outs and single by Scanlon. In the eighth they scored another on a three bagger by Scanlon and a single Dy Lachance. In the last inning the
 B. A. c. made noble attempt to tie the score. With one out, Edmonds drew a base on balls, Derwin flew out, Cronan banged long fly which
 Cavanaugh did not get owing to a fall. With men on second and third the score would have been tied with
 hit, but Kane went out from Sulli- van to Byrnes. The tabulated score
 Of the game is as follows

CANNOT TRUST FILIPINos.
Massacre of Company 0 Considered a
 Lesson to American Troops.

Lesson to American Troops.
 Manila, Oct 7.--Major Morris Q. Foote of the Ninth United States in- fantry, who has returned here from the island of Samar, was in Balangiga the day before the disaster to Company Q. He says that Captain Connell has been warned fully and had taken what he (NIajor Foote) considered every ne- cessary precaution. Information that a plot was brewing among the Filipin- os came to Major Foote from priest, who said that it was in the plans of the populace in both Balangiga and Basey to attack the garrisons and that the Basey garrison was to be attacked from cockpit in the rear of the barr racks.
 Orders immediately were sent out to dernolish the cockpit and extra guards were stationed.
 Feeling particularly is intense In mill itary circles because the authors of the massacre were pacificos, most of whom had taken the oath of allegiance, and many of whom including the presi- dente of Balangiga, actually wera holding office.
 The officers and troops in all the garrisons throughout the archipelago feel that the disaster conveys q lesson to themselves of the necessity for ln~ creased vigilance.
