GEN. BELLS PLANS KNOWN.
That Officer at Disadvantage in Fort
Riley Maneuvers.

FORT RILEY, Kan. October 23.-The
members of Gen. Barrys command. COM
prising the I'd, 18th and Dist Regular In
fantry the LIST and Sd Kansas Infantry and
the 10th and Sth Cavalry, had a sharp taste
of the pleasures of actual campaigning last
night. They bivouacked in the open. and
while there wind the temperature
was low. and everything this morning was
covered with a heavy frost 1t took the
men fully an hour to get the numbness out
of their bodies after rolling out of their
blankets.
The exercises today were the most ambi-
tious of the entire series, and in respect 10
the distance involved it was fully un to
any usual days work in time of actual war
fare. Gen. Barrys force was supposed to
be advancing from the south, and Gen.
Bell army, much smaller in numbers, was
OUT 10 make reconnaissance in force.
Gen Barry, learning of this, promptly
advanced to attack Gen. Bell and the re-
suit was what the military critics term "a
contact of all opposi ng forms of all arms
Gen. Bell in the action labored under the
olSadVahtage OF having all his plans known
TO the opposing commander. Two DAYS ago
both Gen. Bell and Gen. Barry supposed
that they would be on the same side of the
problem, and Gen. Bell, in making an m
specton of the ground over which he was
to operate, took Gen. Barry with him and
discussed his plans, fully explaining what
he intended to do to the enemy When the
two generals returned to their quarters they
FOUND surprise in the shape of an order
directing Gen. Barry to command apainSt
Gen. Bell.
Col. Hutchins, of the Texas regiment has
asked for an inquiry into the trouble, claim
ing that three of his men were ''beaten.
there has been no more trouble and none
IS hkeiy' as the officers of both regiments
are doing everything possible to avoid fric-
ton.

THE HOWE CONTROVERSY.
Report of the Moore Board to Be Pub

Judge Advocate General Davis has re-

tween Major Robert l.. Howe, Porto Rico
provisional regiment of infantry, and Major
George X. Hunter. 18th Cavalry, growing
out of the alleged cruel treatment of FIJI pi-
no prisoners by Major Howe during the
Philippine Instruction.
The nature of the report is withheld for
the present but will be made public in
few days probably Monday or Tuesday
next This is one of the most troublesome
cases of the kind that the War Department
has had to deal with. 1t has already been
the subject of several Investigations. each
resulting in the practical vindication of
Major Howe. but none of the previous in
vest cations proved entirely satisfactory to
the persons responsible for the serious accu-
sations against the officer. Major Hunter.
who made the original investigation, was
charged with having adopted irregular
methods to procure evidence aga INST the ac-
cused officer. and the Moore board was
charged with the investigation of that as

HITCHCoCK's ESTIMATES.
Asks for His Department 5000, 900
Lest Than Current Appropriation.

In his estimates for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 1903. the Secretary of the In
terror has asked for s156oo0,Ooo. s30OoOOO
less than the current appropriation for the
department. The estimates are among the
most conservative that have ever been
made for the Interior Department In COM
piling the list the Secretary has kept before
him the bill making appropriations for the
year ending June 30 1904 and has stuck
closely to the text of the bill, making no
increases in any of the bureaus or offices.
The reductions that have been made have
come through reductions in the work of the
offices or in pensions
The major portion of the 100000 of the
reduction has resulted from the falling off
of the pension list 100000 during the last
fiscal year The other reductions are al
most entirely in the Indian general service
and amount to 81 800 900
The estimates have been in preparation
for several weeks past and have been very
closely scanned by the Secretary. Mr.. Geo.
w. Evans. chief of the division of finance
and disbursing officer. worked with the Sec
rotary over the estimates, and 1t is prob
ably due TO his efforts that the book was
finished up SO soon.

MATTER OF INFERENCE.
Letter From Hospital Trustees Regard
ing Order for Water Meters.

The Commissioners have received q
communication from the trustees OF the
Washington City Orphan Asylum stating
that they have been notified to put In wa
ter meters at the institution. The au-
thorities of the asylum question whether
recurring the institution to put in
water meter would not be imposing
charge contrary to the provisions OF the
act providing for the furnishing of water
to charitable institutions without cost.
Water Registrar Green, in a report on the
matter, states that change from auto
matte to regular fixtures In this institution,
as contended by the trustees. would bring
the consumption of water within the allow
ance granted by the Commissioners, IS
only a matter of inference. He does not
believe the requirement of setting water
meter at the expense of the institution Is
contrary to the provisions of the act OF
June 80, 1898. The only law upon the SUD
ject of water meters provides that they
shall be erected and maintained at the
expense of the consumer.
The trustees suggested that instead or a
meter the District should make temporary
measurements from time to time. Mr..
Green says that to abrOgate or even modify
the law. and for the department to make
measurements as suggested, would be con-
trary to the provisions of the law. The
writer's will be SO advised.

ments were completed today for the big
game of foot ball to be played on Lafayette

from Georgetown University at Washing
ton. and the University Of North Carolina
of Chapel Hill, N. c. The North Carolina

versity. Nearly all the betting here today
is on the Georgetown, with terms 2 to 8
that North Carolina will not score.
Georgetown's victory here last year over

great prestige in Virginia. The prevailing
betting odds to 5 and to that
Georgetown will win out.

excellent condition today The crowd at
tomorrow's game promises to be immense
and the Washington boys are likely to

Strike of the Marble Workers.

The strike among the marble workers In
the District was made complete yesterday
afternoon, when six marble settlers. en-
ployed by ]. F. Manning & Co. at the Colo
RADIO building, at 14th and G streets, laid
down their tools and left the structure The
strike in this city. like that in nearly every
city in the eastern section of the United
States, is against the members Of the Ma
tional Dealers Association.
In the opinion of many labor leaders the
present difficulty in the marble trade Is d.
rectly due to President Roosevelts "open
shop" decision. Following the promulga-
ton of that decision. 1t Is charged the
members of the employers association
closed down their establishments and at
the same time issued a notice to the effect
that the plants would again open in few
days. when all the employees would be taken
back as individuals but not as union
workmen." The marble workers refused to
listen to any such proposition and subse-
quently turned the lockout into q general
strike.
