Chase's-poIite Vaudeville.

Chase's bill next week will embrace
many new features. as will be seen from
the names Of Wilfred Clarke and COM
pany, AL Leech and the Three Rosebuds,
keith's improved sensational cycle whirl,
Ed Latoll, James J. Morton, the Seven
Reed Birds. Satsuma. and Ida Russell.
Wilfred Clarke, the son of John Sleeper
Clarke, and brother of Creston Clarke,
well known as a former comedian OF
Augustin Daly's stock company, has
turned for time from the classic roles
OF the legitimate drama in which he es-
tablished his name, and will take the part
OF DR.. Felix Mole in "In the Biograph."
successful one-act farce. said to be
full OF clever situations. The acting of
Mr.. Clarke, as well as the four other
experienced players, is one of the treats
IN vaudeville. Keith's cycle wllirl will
return with four new trick riders and an
incline of 80 degrees. In this way the
act is made more sensational than ever,
and other improvements have warranted
Mr.. Chase in re-engaging it as an extra

G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
Department of the Potomac Making
Arranacments for the Meeting.

Depnrfment of the Potomac Making
Arrangements for the Meeting.
The Department Of the Potomac, Grand
Army Of the Republic. will hold its an
nual encamprent in this city February
IS and 19. Complete arrangements for
the meeting have not as yet been ar
ranged, but a large attendance is antici-
pated, and there will undoubtedly be some
very important matters to be considered.
Ell Torrance, commander in-chief of
the Grand Army, has accepted an invita-
ton to be present at the encampment.
and banquet will be rendered him on
the aight of the 18th.
The most important business item to
be called before the enc2mpment will be
the election of officers. There seems to
be most harmonious feeling among the
veterans. and many say that the feeling
of harmony has never been stronger
within the past fifteen years.
The men who are most prominently
mentioned as officers for the coming year
ste: Senior Vice Commander B. f.
Bingham for department commander;
Judge l. G. Kimball for senior vice COM
rnander; Capt. Abram Hart, for junior
vice commander.
Another important matter to be acted
upon Will he the election of four dele
gates TO represent the department at the
national encampment, to be held in this
city some time in the fall, probably the
first week in October.

The Bijou-Ln Belle Tortnjadn.

La Belle Tortajada, that beautiful and
clever Spanish singer and dancer who
delighted crowded houses at the Bijou
two months ago, will play retlrn en-
gagement at this theatre next week, and
will head a bill of more than ordinary
excellence. Tortajada is without any ex-
ception one of the most finished and al
together charming artistes that has ever
been seen on a Washington stage. She
will have an entirely new repertoire of
songs, and should prove a strong attrac-
tion. The Friday matinee arranged es-
pecially for the ladies' will afford the
women Of the Capital City a splendid
chance to view the admirable art of La
Belle Tortajada
The other acts of the olio will include
the Six Take2awa Jap5. Rae and Brosche,
the Great Heliman, and the Fantas. The
Bijou stock burlesque. with its compile
ment of pretty girls and clever comedians,

MILITARY MANEUVRES
FOR ARMY AND NAVY.
Government to Form Plans
for Gothan's Defence.
WARFARE ON A BIG SCALE.

The Secretary Of the Navy has formal
ly accepted the invitation of the army
and navy to join in the military maneu-
vres TO be held next August to demon
strate the practicabIlity of plans formed
by the artillery for the defence of the
Long Island approach to New York Har-
Dor.
The matter has been referred by Sec
retary Long to the general policy board
of the navy with instructions to plan out
a scheme of attack. General Randolph,
Chief of the Artillery Corps, has been
assigned to arrange the details of the de-
fence to be made by the army.
According to army and navy officers
the maneuvres will be by far the most ex-
tensive ever conducted in this country.
The entire matter is to be carried out on
war basis. 1t has been definitely de-
cided that the army shall have no knowl-
edge of the navys plans and that the navy
is to remain ignorant of the defence
planned by General Randolph.
The highest ranking officers OF both
services will be on the scene and may
take an active part in the maneuvres.
AS arranged by the artillery, one regi-
ment of militia artillery from New York
and one from Massachusetts will be re-
quested to take part in the defence of the
forts, and large bodies of regular troops
will be ordered to the scene of operations
so that large shift may be on duty both
night ard day.
From all points of view the maneuvres
will be extremely interesting. Guns
loaded with blank shells will be fired, and
every modern instrument of warfare
will be tested by the play combatants. 1t
is expected that the maneuvres will have
a far-reaching effect upon the plans for
the defence of New York in case of actual
war,

The SOusa Concert.

Nothing elected more surprise and
praise in the playing of Sousa's Band in
England than the delicate accompaniment
that this famous organization gave to
the vocal and violin solos that diversified
Mr.. Sousa's concert programmes. Moth
ing of the kind had ever been heard In
England before, and the English critics
were astonished at the stimulation of
string effects, particularly from the enor-
nous brass basses played by the Ameri-
can musicians.
An opportunity will be offered to judge
of this praise of the Sousa Bands work
when the March King" brings his or
ganization here for a single popular con-
cert at the Columbia on Sunday evening.
February 2. His soloists this year are
Maud Reese-Davies. soprano; Dorothy
Hoyle. violin: Arthur Pryor trombone,
and Walter b. Rogers, cornet.

ON ANXIOUS BENCH.
Federal Appointments for Louisiana
May Show Some Changes.

Certain Louisiana Federal oficeholders
are on the anxious seat just at present

the field, and it is expected that ceveral
official decapitations will result. The
head which it Is predicted will fall first
is that of A. E. Wimberly. collector Of
customs at New Orleans. Mr.. Henry Me
Call, wealthy planter, is a candidate
for Wimberly's place. and is said to have
strong backing.
Another place over which there is a
contest is that of naval officer of the
port of New Orleans, recently made
vacant by the death Of Mr.. Weber, col
ored. The President is said to have de-
cided to appoint a colored man to the
place, but the announcement has not yet
been made. Among the candidates for
the position are DR.. A. Z. p. Albert.

AUTOMOBILE MAIL CARRIERS.
More Extended Use of the Pneumatic
Tube System; Demanded.


Tube System; Demanded.
Speaking of transportation of the mails
from the railroad stations to the post
Office high official Of the Postoffice De-
partment said yesterday afternoon:
1T is one Of the problems which we are
trying to solve to the satisfaction of ev-
erybody. AS it Is now, it takes entirely
too long for the transmission of the mails
to the postoflice after they have left the
railroad mail ear. think the automobile
will come into use. and there will be
more extended employment of the pneu-
change in the same direction which must
produce good results. 1t is nothing more
nor less than to have the mail in large
cities fully sorted out on the train, so
that by the time the destination is
reached each bag can be sent directly TO
the proper section Of the city, instead of
unloading the whole mass in the general
postofice.
'The other reform is in an almost op-
posite direction. 1t is the extension of
the rural free delivery. Most trials that
nave Deeu Iuaue WIN tnlS nave given
good results. 1t involved. first, the abo-
lition of sundry crossroads postofices,
with the result that the postmaster, with
his friends at the crossroads. decidedly
objected. and some of the farmers de-
clared that they did not want to surren-
der the pleasure Of going to the post
Office for the mail.
''It seems inexplicable, but in one case
the sentiment was SO strong that it al
most upset the departments plans. New
rural delivery routes are being estab-
lished in all parts of the country every
day. Thus the department is striving
to please both the country and the city,
and its efforts ought to have excellent
results in the way of better streets for
the city and good roads in the country.
1T seems to me-" concluded the official.
that the main objection to a rural free
delivery is that the cost exceeds the rev.
enues and until the country is more thick
ly settled it cannot be made universal, as
it is in the tight little island of England"

The Acndcmy-"Are You n Buffalo, !,

Next week the patrons of the Academy
OF Music will be offered novelty in the
musical farce, Are You Buffalo" which
Is, said to be one of the successes Of the
present season. ~
: Those who attend the Stair house con-
unualiy have long been accustomed to
melodramas. farce comedies, and pastoral
plays, but it is seldom that a musical
comedy is presented on the Academy
stage. and the local engagement of Are
You Buffalo should, therefore, prove an
interesting one. The book is said to be
unusually witty, having been pl epared by
Harry B. Marshall. Frank Dumont, and
John Fowler. The music is of the catchy
variety, and promises to become popular
with the Academy clientele.
The company includes Ada Deaves, Ethel
