to enjoy It more or enter more heartily
into the spirit OF it than did the Gov

That Governor Montague would leave
his pressing work within few hours OF
the close of an important session OF the

the Endeavorers. When he ascended the
rostrum he was given a hearty Chautau-
qua salute, and when he took his seat
the applause was prolonged and entna-
siastic. At the cloce of the service the
delegates crowded around Mr.. Montague
to grasp his hand and profuse were

II. The following was issued last night
from the adquarterS OF the First reg
iment circular: .a
Replying to the question Of one OF the
majors OF this regiment, the colonel
commanding has the honor to say that
in his opinion it is not only the priv.
lege and prerogative OF the ma1or OF
the several batta1ions Of this regiment.
but it Is plainly their duty whenever
possible to attend the drills OF the sew
eral companies comprising their battal-
ion, and to correct all errors in matters
of drill and discipline that they may
note by written orders suitable to the
case, copy Of which should be sent
to these headquarters in the event such
orders are not promptly and properly
observed. The company commanders at
fault should be reported In writing to
the colonel commanding. Should the
summary court officer in any com
pany be unfit or incapable. or fail to
discharge the duties of his Office, that
fact should be certified to the colonel
commanding by either the captain or
major, or both. Upon a proper showing
the officer constituting such court would
be himself brought to trial by the colonel
for incompetence in failure to perform
his duties.
Majors who observe marked difficulty
in any company in their respective bat
talions are fully authorized to order IN
all matters relating to the detail of drill
in harmony with orders from regimenta1
headquarters. In ali matters relating to
discipline they are fully authorized, being
careful, however, not to supplant the cap
tain commanding, to instruct and direct
him, and should he fail to observe their
directions the facts in the case should
be Immediately brought to the knowledge
of the colonel commanding. In either
case honest difference of opinion should
be clearly and promptly submitted to
headquarters for decision. OF course.
majors must carefully refrain from Civ
ing any orders relating to the admins
tration for general policy of the regl-.
ment, or that in any way conflict with or
dcrs from regimental headquarters or
with the proper prerogative of the colo:
mel commanding It must always be
borne in mind that the regiment has
only one head, and that head is the
colonel
It is hoped the court-martial bill now
pending in the General Assembly will GER
tainly become a law, and If. so. full power
within reasonable 1imitsswill be in the
hands Of each commander to enforce at
tendance upon drills and discipline.

one of the oldest and one Of the most
strikingly unique water supply pipes Rich

This wooden pipe line was laid in 1870,

the wood has decayed somewhat, but In

however, saturated with water and Sex-

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE.
Want Open Door In China, but Would Not
Oppose Russia.
(By Associated P.ess.)

BERLIN, March 27.-The Associated
Press has high authority for saying
that the Government of the United
States has been sounding Germany as
to how far the latter country would go
toward maintaining the open door in
China.
This inquiry. which was initiated prior
to the trip Of Admiral Prince Henry Of
Prussia to the United States was not
made with the object of eliciting we'll
phrased writings on the subject, nor gem
eneral assurances, nor even so-called
guarantees. as the administration at
Washington, according to information
here, thinks there has been quite enough
Of such diplomatic interchange. But the
purpose Of this inquiry was to learn, for
the guidance Of Washin gton, whether
Germany, in any event, would take a
resolute stand for equal trade oppor-
tunities. This inquiry resulted in obtains
ing from the very head of the German
empire the impression that Germany,
while willing to take an identical attt-
tude with the other powers for the open
door" would not in final instance OPP
pose something that Russia really de-
sired.
This is the first principle of Germany's
exterior policy and it applies fully to the
East Asian question.
