PLANS FOR A BATTLE
GEM. HARRIES OUT LOOKING THE
FIELD OVER.
District Guardsmen Garry Out Field
Maneuvefs as if Real War
Was On.

Special from a STAFF Correspondent.
CAMP ORDWAY, LEESBURG. Va, July
22.-The weather today has been cool and
pleasant and Just right for drilling and out
door work. The I'd Regiment during the
afternoon developed a line of trenches
along the edge of the camp ground oppo-
site headquarters, while the list Separate
Battalion put in two hours in constructing
rifle pits and kneeling and standing
trenches.
| Gen Harries, accompanied by Capt Brett
of the I'd Cavalry and several of the off,,
GERS, rode out of camp this morning The
party was gone nearly three hours. 1t is
understood that they viewed the ground
that is to be covered during the field ma
neuvers.
The latter will take place over practically
the same territory that was covered last
year Although nobody in a position to
know will discuss the program the chances
are that the troops will march out of camp
late Thursday afternoon and that the at
tack will be made at daylight or soOn
thereafter as may be practicable Friday
morning. The men will carry blank ammu-
milton, field rations and shelter tents.
The District National Guard does not in
dulge in sham battles. Such. generally
speaking, are exhibitions arranged and car
ried out for the entertainment of spectators.
The result is, in most cases, foregone con-
clusion; that is. 1t is decided beforehand
which side shall be the winner The field
maneuvers of the District National Guard
involve the solving of tactical problems.
Conditions are prescribed and the several
organization commanders are put upon
their mettle. The maneuVers constitute, in
fact. mammoth game of military chess
Cmpires are provided and the contest is US
ually decided before the competing forces
are aware that all is over.
The brigade will return to Washington
next Saturday afternoon. All tents will be
dropped promptly at noon and soon there
after column will be formed and the troops
marched to and through Leesburg to the
railroad station. The first section of the
special train will leave at 2:30 o'clock,
the other two sections following at inter-
walls Of ten minutes
The I'd United States Cavalry will de-
part from Camp Ordway Saturday after
noon and march to Dranesville, fourteen
miles distant After a rest there of several
hours the cavarymen will take advantage
of the moonlight. If the weather Is favor
able, and resuming the march, proceed di-
rect to Fort Myer during the night.
Upon reaching Washington, shortly after
4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon. the National
Guard will move to the White Lot and there
give either a brigade parade or a review be-
fore being finally dismissed.
Lieut.. w. T. Place Company G, 4th Bat
talon, was today sent home by train. He de-
Veloped a severe attack of indigestion yes

wise to have the lieutenant returned to his

fractional Fight in Prospect.

To revise or not to revise, to change
existing schedules or to stand pat,
that's the question. The elections ap.
pear not to have convinced either OF
the opposing factions that 1t has had
enough of the conflict. Instead of q
lull in the storm it increases. 1t will
not down at the behest of such po-
tential leaders as Senators Hanna and
Aldrich and Representative Dalzell.
The fact that the House of Represen-
tatives was saved from Democratic
control by a promise of revision in
Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin and
in many districts in other states is
ignored by the stand-patters, but the
men who made that promise and
saved their official heads thereby will
not forget 1t. The instinct Of self.
preservation will supplement their
sense of duty, and unless all signs
fail the organization of the Fifty
eighth Congress will usher in a more
exciting fractional fight than has ever
ragged in the Republican party.

The object of the tariff is to tax
everybody's pocketbook for the en-
richment of the favored gentlemen
who own the trusts. The trusts are
enabled to charge two prices for
things because the tariff shuts out
competition. In word, the detest.
able tariff makes n dollar go a very
short way in woman's pocketbook.
And since she is The domestic treas.
