STATE TROOPS WOULD BENEFIT
FROM THE EXPERIENCE.
Circular Letter Sent by Adjutant Gen
eIal Corbin to All the
Governors.

AdR. Gen. Corbin today addressed the
following self-explanatory circular letter to
the governors OF all the states in the
Union:
The department contemplates having
autUm maneuyers on the government reser-
walton at Fort Riley. Kan. about the end
of September. 1t Is intended to bring to-
Fether if possible. not less than division
OF nine regiments OF infantry and mary
more as can be induced to participate. from
the various states. The cavalry and ar
tillery coHtingents will be furnished by the
regular army ana not less than three reSi-
mtnts Of infantry
The Secretary of War regrets that the
legislation known as the Dick militia bill
did not reach the Senate in time for
ton before adjournment of the last scs
sion, ard the department will not be able
this year TO give that assistance to the
militia regiments participating in the
mancuvcrs which he mad hoped TO extend
to them, however. it is thought that the
great good to come from such joint maneu-
NerS may prove sufficient inducement to
the states. particularly those in the i'm
mediate vicinity or within easy cOmmuni-
cation of Fort Riley Kan. to have a por-
ton Of their organized militia mobilize at
that point instead of in their usual en-
CSmPGIentS.
The Secretary Of War desires TO extend
of your troops as can he arranged for with
the understanding that the United States
cannot. at the present time. pay any of the
expenses Of the movement but that the
quartermaster's. subs Silence, medical and
other staff departments will be directed to
furnish at the regulation price any sub
sistence or other articles which may be
required for use of these organizations dur
ing the mdneuverS In case no organized
bodies can be des gnated to participate in
the maneuvers. the SeCre tary would be
pleased to have an officer detailed to attend
the proposed exercises. in the hope that
his observation may lead to increased in
terest hereafter
You are requested to notify the adjutant
general of the army whether or not this
invitation is accepted by you. and If so
what contingent of your organized militia
will participate in the maneuvers, so that
detailed information may be given as to
what equipments. staff officers. etc will be
required 1t is intended that these man

THOMAS R. BRIGHTWELL DEAD.
Had Lived in the District Since the
Year 1885.

Thomas r. Brghtwell died at his country
home near Deanwood yesterday in the
ninety-first year of his age. He had lived
where he died since 1886. He had seen the
city of Washington in it's infancy and
often boosted that he had hunted birds IN
the marsh where the Washington Center
market now stands
Mr.. Brightwen was a messenger to a COM
mittee of Congress when that body met in
the old Capitol building on LIST street east.
He was congenial and social, kindly Gis-
posed toward all men and very hospitaple
in his own home. Nothing delighted him
more than to get a party of hts old friends
together and entertain them with reminis-
cences Of his early life In the city of Wash
ington. He never turned a deaf ear to
appeals for aid from the poor or from
friends in distress. He died possessed of a
vast estate in the District of Columbia.

The Situation at Des Moines
is Alarming.
RIVER STILL RISING
MEN STRIVING EARNESTLY TO
SAVE THEIR HOMES.
Breach in Levee Caused 400 People to
Flee From Their
Houses.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, July 10.-The flood
situation reached it's most alarming stage
early today. The Des Moines river was
t"enty-one feet above low-water mark at
O'Clock, having risen three feet In less
than ten hours. 1t is still rising at rapid
rate. The Raccoon river, which emptIes

feet between and 7:30 o'clock this morn

The Hood is at the highest point since
1901, when the river was six feet deep over
what Is now occupied by thousands Of resi-
dences, business houses and factories At
that time the river was but one foot higher
than at present, and it is believed the old
record will soon be broken. Nothing but
leVees protect all this district, and in two
score places they have either broken or
given away.
Hundreds of men are working desnerat oly
along the levees to save their homes and
property, but the water is slowly driving
them from their positions. Residents of
SCUM Des MONIES Kept an anxious vigil all
night and at o'clock. owing to the break
ing OF large section of the levee, were
forced to flee.
Many Thrilling Rescues.
Many thrilling rescues by boats are ra-
ported. Thousands of dollars worth of
property was destroyed in thirty minutes in
South Des Moines and it is now practically
cut off from the rest of the city.
Four feet of water is rushing through a
district of twenty blocks occupied by resi-
dences. In North Des Moines a wide brea oh

POOR YACHTING WEATHER.
Members Of New York Yacht Club a
Newport

NEWPORT, R. T., July 10.-After long
period of sharp. breezy weather. it was
rather disappointing to the New York
Yacht Club members, who have come here

was lifeless, but the regatta committee.

preparations for the days sport and tugs
were ordered to lay out the course.
When the entries closed this morning it
was found that the seventyfooter Yankee,

pete being still with the Atlantic feet at
Shelter Island. This left the Belmont sew
enty.footer Mineola without a competitor.
But with the schooners Elmina, Muriel

and Aflsa, the sixties Weetamo and Nicola,
the ffties Humma and Effort and the feet
OF little thirty-feoters, there seemed craft
enough left to insure some good sport.
