carriage had her collar bone broken,
while it is feared that Mr.. Galloway
has fractured ankle. Mrs. Galloway

Detective Sergeant McNamee Of the head
quarters force was 'strolling along. Pennsyl-

afternoon, and was just In time to witness
and take decisive action in a rather excit-

with the carriage stand at 18th street ana
Pennsylvania avenue. had driven to point
directly in front Of the city post office at
the call Of lady and gentleman who are
strangers in the city. Patterson M. Thorn
as, guide appeared on the scene about
the same time. Each man. according to
eye-witnesses, expended considerable en-
eIgy In an effort to induce the strangers to
make use Of their respective services. The
strangers finally entered the carriage.
According to the driver. the guide then
produced a knife. Believing that he was
about to be assaulted. the driver grabbed
his whip. and. 1t is said. struck the guide
a blow across the head. At this point De-
tective Sergeant McNamee arrived and
made both men prisoners. At the first pre-
cinct police station the guide denied. that
he had used or intended to use a knife. A
charge of engaging In an ARRAY was en-
tered against each Of the defendants. They
win have a hearing In the Police Cour.

sent out to intercept the Bay line steamer

through the fog and arrived very nearly
on time this morning. While other shipping

MAY REQUIRE NEW TREATY.
Secretary Hay Discusses Cuban Con-
vention With Senators.

The alleged defects In the Cuban treaty
were discussed at the State Department
today by Secretary Hay and number OF
senatorial callers. including Senator Gull
lon chairman of the Senate committee on
foreign relations, and Senator Lodge, next
in rank on that committee. There was no
disposition to minimize the extent of the
complications and in fact fresh ones were
developed during the talk.
For instance. 1t was pointed out by one
senator that the provision This treaty
shall not take effect until the same shall
have been approved by the Congress re-
quired such action. not only on the part OF
our own Congress. but also by the Cuban
congress- and this 1t will be perhaps diff
cult to secure. for the opposition is much
stronger in the Cuban lower house than IN
the senate.
Then, too. some Of the senators bluntY
gave the notice that the treaty would surely
be defeated II it again came before aae
United States Congress, certainly In the
event that it would require a two-thtrds
vote, as would be necessary to secure an
amendment.
The officials Of the State Department
have not yet given up hope of being able
to straighten out the tangle, but tt appears
even more probable today that a new treaty
will be required.

THE NEW MILITIA LAW.
Exhaustive Review Of It's Provisions
by War College Board.


At the direction Of the Secretary Of War
the war college board, Of which Maj. Gen.
S. B. NJ Young is president has made a
report to the department upon the rules
and regulations for putting into operation
the new militia law. The report IL an ex<
haustive review o fthe militia act. which
Is taken up section by section and COM
mented upon by the board. The board
says:
Although five years are allowed the or
gandzed militia to attain to the standard
prescribed the law does not contemplate
that that period shall elapse before state,
territory or the District of Columbia,
which, in the meanwhile, shall have en-
joyed the benefits Of the act, shall take
the reasonable steps toward the attain
ment of the standard. The federal govern
ment has already begun to provide the
Money already appropriated is for the
purpose of enabling the organized militia
to conform to one part Of the standard set
by the regular army, !. e., its armament.
Further allotments of federal money must
be for the general purpose of completing
this armament and attaining to the other
two requisites of the federal standard, viz,
the organization and discipline of the
regular army
The board holds the view that the Secre-
tary Of War should require the proper state
authorities to specify when money is al
lotted them the objects to which the money
will be applied and that he should see that
it is so applied. Examinations for appoint
ment or promotion of officers of the militia
cannot be prescribed by the War Depart
ment,

and for any new move that might be made
by the company. They claim to be well
satisfied with the situation.
