CAMP ORDWAY. LEESBURG, Va. July
31.-The troops of the National Guard of
the District of Columbia have been under
going the most strenuous experience in
the history of the brigade. The elaborate
field maneuvers which began yesterday
morning and are scheduled to close at 4
o'clock this afternoon have caused the citi-
zen soldery of the national capital to en-
counter field conditions of most realistic
type The operations yesterday afternoon
were for the most part carried on during
the progress of "A terrific rain storm. The
regulars and the guardsmen were soaked to
the skin and in that condition they made
camp for the night Fires Were built. how
ever, and nearly everybody was dry and
comfortable prior to retiring. Incidentally,
the storm was of the kind that habitually
each year visits the camp of the District
National Guard Not only did the elements
cause havoc to the men on campaign. but
also wrought considerable damage in the
camp. A number of tents were leveled,
tent poles snapped in twain and canvas
torn.
Hard to Tell Who Won.
It is impossible at this time to make an
accurate statement In regard to the status
of the maneuvers, but according to ru
mors and reports the attacking force. to
all intents and purposes, seems to be de-
feated. 1t Is declared by some that. in
theory, the 4th Battalion Is the only organ
ization of the attacking force that has not
been annihilated also in theory. by the de-
fense Camp followers say that Troop f,
I'd United States Cavalry. the battery of
field artillery and Col. UrelI of the I'd Reg
iment were captured early in the game. and
ton Of the 4th Battalion, We're also dis
posed of quickly. 1t Is impossible to OBJ
tain the exact status of affairs for the
reason that the defense consists for the
most part Of an imaginary command, and
only the umpires intrenched in Fort Evans
are aware of just what commands have
been eliminated from the Interesting prob
lem.
Capt. Wade's troop OF cavalry was dis
posed of late yesterday afternoon. The
troop had been instructed to proceed TO
Farmweu station, several miles east of
Leesburg, and there to take a train load of
provisions intended for the defense. and
also to disable the railroad. AS a result Of
meeting a brand-new barbed wire fence
Capt. Wade was forced to expose himself
for a moment. Fe was seen from the fort
he viewer. and. theoretically 100 infantry
men put him out Of action in short order.
1t is presumed that the defense then Sc
cured its train load OF provisions. and that
would seem to turn the tide In Its favor.
All the troops made the start yesterday
from Whites Ferry, four miles distant
the 9th Battalion were directed to shut off
the defense from securing water from
Goose creek. The remainder Of the COM
mand spent the night near Edwards Ferry

between the lines.

MAY ABANDON SAN
Frisco Trying to Cut Away from Its
Burton Trackage Deal

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 17.-There are
still many rumors to the effect that the
Frisco train service will be extended to
Hutchinson and that this road will not
longer do the business with the Santa
Fe at Burton which it has done ever
since the construction of the Frisco. Al
ready the Rock Island and Frisco time
tables have recognized Medora as
connecting point between the two lines
and this was never done until the re-
cent consolidation Of the two systems
Some tickets have already been sold via
this connection but the trains do not
meet there and the connections are very
poor; the stations of the two roads be-
ing more than mile apart, without any
transfer service. If these roads are to
do business in transfer between the
roads at Medora there will have to be
some changes in the stations there and
the new station will have to be at the
intersection Of the two lines. 1t is said
that the steel gang have orders ahead
which will take them to Medora before
the work on this division is completed
and that connecting switches will be put
in there which will make it possible to
other and in both directions. This is
not the case now, the one switch at that
point being a short and small affair, not
long enough to handle trains at all. Be
fore there is anything doing in the way
of trains into Hutchinson over the
Frisco lines there will have to be some
thing done at Medora to improve the
transfer arrangements at that point.
