The army and navy have appointed ar
bitrators to make the decision IN the
Joint maneuvers on the Atlantic Coast
in September.
The War Department has selec,ed
Brig. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss and Lieut..
Col John p. Story. Of the Artillery
Corps. The navy has selected Rear Ad-
miral Philip II. Cooper and Capt Will
liam Swift.
Major General Macarthur and Rear
Admiral Higginson, the two officers in
direct supervision of the maneuvers.
have been charged with the selection of
the fifth arbitrator.
Umpires will be stationed on each of
the ships and at the forts to make de-
cisions of individual work, but the board
OF arbitration named above is to be
charged with the announcement of the
final decision as to whether the army or
the navy has been victorious.
The four officers named are recognized

QUESTION AS TONEW
RECTOR OF COLLEGE
Mr.. CONNERS' FUNERAL.
Services and Interment at Arlington
National Cemetery.

Funeral services over the remains Of
Mr.. Harry A. Corners. who was drowned
off the Fern last Tuesday, were held
at Arlington yesterday afternoon with
all the impressiveness incident to a mil
itary burial.
Young Corners was classed as first
class gunner's mate, but was designated
by the Navy Department as shipkeeper
of the Fern, In which capacity he was
serving at the time of his death.
The only relative claimed by the dead
man in his enlistment papers was a
brother. whose residence was given as
Chicago Efforts were made to com
municate with the latter, but no reply
was received, and the naval reserves of
the District took charge Of the remains.
The services were conducted by the
chaplain OF the Washington Navy Yard.
Associates of the dead sailor on the
Fern contributed several large floral
pieces, and six men of the naval re-
serves bore the flag-draped casket to the
grave. When the reading of the burial
service had been concluded a volley was
fired and a single trooper sounded

to sixteen and one-half knots. and
should she fall below that figure the
Secretary of the Navy may reject the
vessel at his discretion.
Both vessels will be 600 tons larger
than the Georgia and other battleships
of that class now building. and longer
and broader by many feet than the big
gest ships of the navy. Their length
will be $50 feet on load water line, beam,
extreme. IS feet 10 inches, and q mean
draft OF "a feet inches. In the lat
ter respect the vessels will have less
draft for their displacement than any
ships designed. This is necessary in
view of the many shallow harbors along
the Atlantic coast into which warships
must enter.
Battery Unequaled in World.
In battery there are probably no war
vessels In the world with equals. and
the amount Of metal they can throw In
broadside will exceed some of the most
formidable of the British bulldogs. The
main batteries will consist Of four 12-
inch, eight Sinch, and twelve finch.
Their secondary batteries will consist
OF twenty 3-inoh rapid fire. twelve g.
Founders, six 1pounders. two l-pound-
ers. semi-automatic. and several ma
chine guns. In addition they will each
carry 200 field pieces. The protection of
these vessels will be. afforded by eleven
inches of armor. The turrets will be
twelve inches thick IN front and eight
inches In the rear, and two and one-half
inches on top. All armor for the vessels
Is to be supplied by the Government.
and Will consist of plates treated by
the new krupp process, which gives a
face-hardening superior to any armor in
the world.
The armored cruisers will be far
larger and swifter, but will have less
protection and battery power. Each bat
tleship will cost the Government nearly
s. 100000. while the armored cruisers

VACANCIES FOR CADETS.
Many Senators Have Failed to Nomi-

Three hundred principals and alter
mates will appear before the examining
boards of the Civil Service Commission
August II for cadetships at the Naval
Academy to fill vacancies created by the
provision in the navy appropriation bill
allowing Senators the privilege of ap-
pointment and those left over by the
recent graduating class and through
other causes.
This will be the largest class exam
ned in the history of the school. and If
the usual percentage of candidates pass
it will give Annapolis more cadets un-
der instruction than ever before, and
may tax the limited quarters Of the
school.
Only about half of the number of Sem
ators having appointments have nomi-
mated candidates. although repeatedly

cancies at their disposal. Among those

ARCHITECT TAYLOR 4
VERY BUSY OFFICIAL
Makes Plans for All the
Federal Buildings.
WORK IN NEARLY ALL STATES
Delaware and Idaho Alone Not Included
in Appropriations Carried by Omnibus
Public Building Bill-Care in Choos-
ing Sites.

James K. Taylor. Supervising Archi-
tect of the Treasury. is about the bus
lest man in the employ Of the United
States Government these days. 1t falls
to his lot TO make the plans for all the
Federal buildings and improvements for
which appropriations were made at the
last session of Congress. and as there
TO be built or enlarged 1t can be seen
that his task is no slight one.
He has at his disposal for this pur-
pose over 100000. and the expendi-
ture of this amount is source OF no
little anxiety. OF course, the Secretary
responsible for the use to which this
enormous sum is put. but he depends
largely upon the Supervising Architect
for advice in this regard.
Every State Has Work for Him.
Some idea OF the character Of the
work with which Mr.. Taylor is con-
fronted can be had when It is known
that every State in the Union. with two
Uncle Sans generosity by the provis-
ions OF the omnibus public buildings
and grounds Dill.
Probably never before has such a
large amount OF money or SO many diff
ferent improvements been voted by a
Congress.
The two States not included in the act
are Delaware and Idaho. The only
reason they were left out was that no
money for this purpose was asked for
by their representatives. for the law
makers were In particularly unselish
mood in regard to Federal structures
during the session recently closed.
Care in Choosing Sites.
Just now Architect Taylor is receiv-
ing bids for sites upon which buildings
are to be erected. These bids are quite
numerous, for the reason that It is the
general impression that the Government
will pay almost any figure, no matter
is altogether a mistake, as the bidders
will learn to their sorrow.
Before any bid is accepted an agent OF
the Treasury Department Is sent out TO
make an investigation. and he is en-
to receive other bids without
regard to those already on file In an
swer to the Governments advertise
ment. II he thinks it desirable to do so.
II all the bids are unsatisfactory,
the Government may select a piece OF
ground and begin condemnation proceed
lngs for its, requirement, in which case
the owner may rest assured he will not
receive price far in advance OF the
actual worth Of his property.

SERVICES IN TENT.
Rev. ]. S. Washburn breaches on In.
fallibility.

Rev. J. s. Washburn preached last
night at the Seventh Day Adventist tent,
corner OF Maryland Avenue and Thir-
teenth Street northwest. on the subject
OF "Infallibility." A number Of texts
were read to show that Christ was the
only infallible example for the Christian
to follow. He was described az the only
man who ever attained a sinless life.
and hence the onlv safe guide and leader
of the church. No man.. Mr.. Washburn
declared. could assume that place. Not
even the apostles Of Christ could be
followed, he said, as infallible leaders,
most Of all Peter.
An argument was drawn from the ex-
ample OF Jesus In favor Of keeping the
seventh day as the Sabbath.
Mr.. Washburn announced that he
would, during the week, preach upon the
Immortality OF the soul; would answer
the question 'Is there a hel1?" and
would explain wha. becomes of the man
after death.

Signal Corps Work.

Although few in numbers. the Signal
Corps. under Lieut.. William NeUmeyer
was probably the hardest worked or
ganization in camp. They went to Camp
Ordway a DAY or two before the arrival
OF the troops, and it was not long be-
fore camp was established that they had
a perfect system of telephone and tele-
graphic communication. a small switch
board at the signal tent brought to-
gether the wires which brought the
hcadqua rters of the commanding general
and the adjutant generals office into
touch with the various departments.
The Signal Corps cut in on the wire
OF the Southern Railroad Company. and
II was possible to send kilograms to
Washington direct from the camp with
cut going into Leesburg, a mile away.
A wire from the tent was also run into
the central office of the telephone com
pany at Leesburg, which brought the
camp into communication with Lees
burg and other points, and by relay at
Herndon, Va. with the National Cap
ital. Miss Evelyn Underwood had charge
of the Leesburg office, and was very ac-
commodating to Lieutenant Neumeyer
and the Signal Corps in all messages
sent through the Leesburg office.

Costly Armored Cruisers.

Within a few days another circular
will be issued. asking for bids upon the
two great armored cruisers of 14,500
tons displacement. and costing more
completed and in service than the bat
tleshtps. These vessels are to be built
by private contract and will open up a
lively competition among the shipyards
to secure one of the vessels. II is pro-
vided that both must be completed In
less than three years. while the limit
of time allowed for the battleships is
forty-two months.
Already orders have gone forth to the

undertaken there. and. II possible. it is
proposed to complete her within the

CAVALRY TROOPS RETURN
FROM CAMP AT LEESBURG

Everyone is delighted with the suc
cess of the camp. and 1t is the genera
belief that il was the most successful
encampmcnt in the history Of the Ma
tional Guard.
officers of the guard are much inter-
ested in the militia bill introduced by
Gen. Charles Dick, of Ohio, which pass
ed the House of Representatives during
the last session OF Congress.
Mai Walter d. Davidge, judge advo-
cate general of the Guard. is making an
examination OF the measure in order TO
ascertain its effect on the status of the
National Guard OF the District. 1t is
possible that instead of brigade OF
900 troops, as at present, only a
regiment will be provided for. In any
event, the last encampment. 1t is be-
lieved. will be the last brigade encamp-
ment of the District National Guard. In
future years it is believed Congress will
make provision for joint encampments
between the National Guards of several
States.
In the encanpment Just closed, 1t is
believed. there were fewer changes
among the personnel OF the Guard than
at any time since It's organization.
Among the officers and in the ranks
seen service in the volunteer army, al
though the Spanish and Philippine wars
caused many changes. Many OF those
who attended the encampment had eth
er had experience in the volunteer army
or been at previous encampmepts Of the
National Guard. This aided generally in
the instruction OF the men and greater
progress was made toward teaching
them the duties OF soldier than at any
previous encampmenT
Much credit for the success of the en-
campment is due Major E. II. Neumeyer.
commissary general and acting quar-
termaster general of the militia. HIS
duties were multitudinous, but he per-
formed them well and there was not a
hitch In the workings of either of these
departments during the whole period.
Major Neumeyer exercised general tur.s-
diction over both departments. while
Lieut.. p. W. Smith was in direct charge
of the quartermaster's end, and Lieut..
E. II. Neumeyer had the job OF seeing
that the troops received provisions.
Quartermaster Sergeant Chase and
Commissary Sergeant Bliss also assist
ed greatly.
Capt 4. p. Robbins made an efficient
adjutant general in the place of Lieut.
Col Theodore Mosher. who, on account
of his health. was prevented from at
tending the encampment The regular
officers spoke of the excellent manner
in which the office was conducted Cap
tain Robbins served as adjutant general
at Leesburg three years ago, was assist
ant adjutant general at Gaithersburg In
1900, and acting adjutant general at
Leesburg last year. He has also filled
the position in Washington on numer-
Gus occasions.

Objected to NeMlands.

Elk Supreme Judge Bonnifeld, who
was nominated for State senator in
Humboldtcounty, on the Fusion legis-
lative ticket, has dealt Mr. Newlands
a hard blow by refusing to run. He
was expected to subscribe to the fol
lowing plank in the fusion platform Ct
that county:
"We pledge our nominee for State
Senator to enter the anti Republican
caucus of the legislature, assembling
in January, 1908, and to vote for the
nominee of such caucus.
To which Judge Bonnifeld set forth
strong exceptions and declined to ac-
cept the nomination. 1t is said that
the reason Newlands has oeen having
that pledge inserted in the county
platforms is that he realizes that
there is little likihood that he can
win the United States senatorship
this fall, and the object of that plank
is to bind them to him two years
from now Newlands' tactics are

ters of Nevada will have neither.
