REPORT ON BEL AIR ENCAMPMENT

Major John F. Guilfoyle, ofthe Twelfth
Cavalry, and Captain Horace NJ. Reeves,
third infantry, the two officers of the
United States Army, who were detailed
to attend the camp of the Maryland
National Guard, which recently took place
in Bel Air have made report giving a re-
sumo of the military law of Maryland
and other matters pertaining to the de-
tail of a plan ofcloser connection between
the Federal authorities and the State
Militia as contemplated by the recently
passed militia bill. The report is upon
the whole very commendatory of the
work done at the encampment, and of
the qualifications of the leading officers
of the State Guard.
1t is recommended in the report that a
regular army officer be detailed for duty
with the State Guard, and that means
be taken for the regular instruction of
the officers of the guard on military sub
jects. 1t is further stated that quite a
large per cent. of the enlisted men of the
militia do not measure up to the standard
of entrance to the United States Army,
and that it would cripple the guard too
much to make such test. 1t is stated
in the report, however. that at least 80
per cent. of the guard would be willing
to enter the service of the United States
for period of 60 days, as required by
the Dick Bill.
In regard to the work of the recent
camp, the report says there was no
brawling, the men worked hard, were
willing to learn and policed their camp
excellently. The report paid a very high
compliment to the efficient work done for
the Maryland National Guard by Adju-
tant General Saunders, and was particul,
arly strong in it's recommendation of the
work done by Brigadier General Lawra-
son Riggs rs active commander. 1t was
impossible, the report says, for the i'll.
specting officers to form an accurate esti,
in addition to General Saunders and
Riggs, the following were noticed on ac'
count of especially good services and
capabilities: Col. Charles A. Little
commanding officer of the First Regiment
Col. Charles D. Gather, acting adjutant
general, First Brigade; Col. Charles d
Macklin, inspector general; Major S. S
Ulrich, chief surgeon, Fourth Regiment
Major Samuel ]. Fort, brigade ordnance
officer; Major {. Y. Starkloff, brigade
paymaster; Major Frank w. Coale
brigade commissary, and Lieuts. f. l.
Woodside and w. B. Cockey aids on th'
brigade staff.

To the People of Hartford County

In 1893 called public attention to the cor
ruption then existing in your public offices.
The result was that the Clerks charges
against the county fell from So, 10000 the
next year to ) ,t59.OO after the claim that
no OvcrcharEcS were made. The charges i'll
the Orphans Court were greatly reduced.
The independent and excellent Board of Com
missioncrs then elected brought the affairs Of
that office to honesty and order. The charges
i'll the Clerks Office still far more than the
law allows.
In defiance of the Constitution of the st ate,
which requires that all cases submitted for
decision 10 the Judges shall he decided within
two months after their submission, eases now
on the docket stand undecided after submis-
years ago, thus dcpriving the people of their
rights.
1t is disgracefiil to free people to submit
to such outragcS.
Relying upon the honesty and the patriotism
of the people (who then thrust some of the
wrongdocrs out of office such people as the

My Lord has need of these nowcrcts gay
The Reaper said, and smiled;
Dear tokens OF the earth they
When He was once n child.
O, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took our darling away.
Now that you are dead Mae,
Amid sweet flowers laid,
Out in the quiet cemetery,
Out in the quiet shade,
Our feet will oft times wander
Out to that sacred grave,
Where sleeps the one we loved so well,
The one we could not save.

ENGLISH SYNDICATE
AFTER ILLINOIS COAL
Seeking to Acquire Lands in the
DanViIle Sec
ton.

Chicago. March ga New York dis
patchs says: "A syndicate of.English cap
italists is seeking to acquire coal fields
in the Danville section of Illinois with
the idea of shipping much of the coal
to England. One possible result of the
purchase, if effected. will be the con-
struction of another railroad from DAN
vile to Chicago, a distance of 130
miles, shortening the route fifty miles
compared with that of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois railroad. This branch
would connect with the Big -Four sys-
tenn at Chicago and give that company
through line from that city to Cairo
and from there to the gulf.
John Il. Andrews. the representa-
tive of the syndicate, before going on
board the Celtic, admitted that he had
the options, but declined to go into
details. The options obtained by An
drews are said to cover the property
of the Westville Coal company; the
Kellyville Coal company, one other
corporation, and number of individ-
ual holdings. These comprise 26,9S0
acres"

PLOT AGAINST THE
WISCONSIN WARDEN
Attempt of Fishermen to Do Away
With Officer They DO
Not Love.

Lacrosse, Wis, March 6.-Deputy
State Game Warden Henry c. Schultz
was ensnared by a number of fisher
men whose houses he was burning
along the banks of Black river to a
point on the ice which, it is alleged,
had been prepared for his arrival. The
ice broke and was so rotten that
Schultz struggled in the icy water for
over an hour unable to gain hold of
solid ice.
The fishermen left the game warden
where they supposed he would drown
within a short time. He was rescued
by farmer when almost unconscious.
Schultz has carried on an active cam
paign here against illegal fishing, and
has bitter enemies among the fisher
men, He is now in precarious con-

be settled by the body itself in ac-
cordance with its own best judgment"
He declared that if the deficiency bill
had failed it would not have been
Que to the rules of the senate, but
to the situation which was presented
in the bouse.
Therefore. whatever of dictation,
whatever there was as respects this
item, it was because the house, for
reasons of its own, could not take
the orderly and usual proceeding
and method by taking these
items into the house and into
the senate and having the Judgment

house conferfces had sought to put the
blame on the senate rules. which had
existed for a hundred years; land if
any changes are made in those rules, +"

Cannon's remarks were ''inapprOpri-
ate and out of place"
