territory according to the strength
existing at the date of the passage of
the act-110,921 rifles and 5,623 car
bines, a total of 1854 having been
issued to date-and amounts aggre-
eating 1886, $3.50, representing the
value of the arms which had been
charged to various states and terri
tories, have been placed to the credit
of their respective allotments from
the militia appropriation. In addition
thereto a gratuitous issue of ammu-
milton, caliber 80, has been made in
exchange, round for round, for COR
responding ammunition suitable to the
obsolete arms replaced under the pro-
visions of the act
Under the appropriations which
have so far been made for the manu-
facture of the new 3-inch field gun, 1t
is proposed to furnish twenty-Six COM
plete batteries for the militia. The
manufacture of the 3-inch field artil-
lery material has progressed satisfac-
torily during the past year. Batteries
for the militia will probably be
ready for issue in the fall of 1905.
Improvement of the Militia.
THE Military Secretary reports that
during the year the organization and
personnel of the militia force have been
greatly improved, and that individual
members Of the National Guard have
manifested an increased interest in its
advancement. Discipline has been
more rigidly insisted, upon, and the
more uniform enforcement of local
laws requiring examinations as to
physical and mental fitness for war
rant or commission has resulted in the
elimination of the undesirable and in
competent and the substitution in
their stead os officers and men whose
fitness and enthusiasm have had a
good effect on the organization.

The Manassas Maneuvers.
OF the Manassas maneuvers, Secre-
tary Taft saws:
The maneuvers consisted of two
problems, involving movements on a
large scale. two days being devoted to
each problem. Under the arrange
ments made situations were presented
not unlike those that confronted the
two contending forces on practically
the same ground in 1862, during our
Civil War: and the problems were so
prepared as to include in their solution
outpost, reconnaissance. advance. and
rear guard duty, marches (both by day
and night, deployment for battle, and
the various formations for attack and
defense.
The solution of these military prob
lens was highly satisfactory, not only
in the ability and skill displayed by
the division and brigade commanders,
but in the zeal and intelligent interest
manifested by the officers and men OF
the entire command. The conditions
appropriated as closely to those of
actual war as 1t is possible to make
them in time of peace, and the maneu-
vers were highly successful.
These maneuvers can not fail to be
of great value in the practical train
ing OF our military forces, both reg
uar and militia, for they accustom Of
ficers Of the higher grades to the COM
mand OF troops under campaign con-
ditions; they familiarize officers of all
grades with the handling of their or

THE CAPTAINS STORY.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. 29.-Captain
Cousins, Of the steamer Queen, gave
the following account of the disaster:
AT $3.50 o'clock Saturday morning,
when we were 80 miles to the west
ward of Tillamook Light on the coast
of Oregon on our way to this port, Sec
ond Officer Reese reported to me that
the ship was on fire. I FASTENED from
my staterOom and rang the fire alarm
Getting all hands on deck we started
to fight the fire which was located in
the after saloon. When came on deck
the flames We're shooting 80 feet high
out of the saloon skylight. We COM
menced pouring water on the fire but it
continued to gain Roadway until the
whole after part of the ship was in
flames. When it looked impossible to
keep the fire under control 1 gave or
ders to clear away the boats, filling
these on the starboard side with wo-
men and children. At this time it
looked impossible to save the ship.
Finally. the starboard boats were
lowered into the water. One of them,
in charge of Second Steward Savage,
got under the guard and was stove in
and later upset, the other boats going
to the rescue.
Il do not know just how many peo-
pie there were in the various boats
lo%ered, though possibly so. The boats
We're out in the open until we had the
fire under control, 1 blew the whistles

IA W 20 all those lost
were on board aagin.
1.-The men when called with the dis
covery of the fire came up through
flames and binding smoke. Three of
them lost their way and rushed into
the cock pit where they were suffocated
or burned to death.
cat the time the fire was discovered
the wind was blowing from the south
west probably Is miles an hour. There
was nasty choppy sea running.
Il have no idea as to the cause or
origin of the fire. 1t appears to have
burst forth very suddenly and but for
the heroic work of the crew and pas
sengers in fighting it the ship and all
aboard would have been burned

BRINGS IN A WELL.
Southwestern Oil and Gas Company
Touches Wildcat Territory.

Chanute. Kan. Feb. 29.-The South
western Oil & Gas company brought in
and shot their No. 1 on the Rettig land
Saturday. This land is located about
two miles east of Austin and is nearly
that distance from any well. There were
10 feet of oil sand at a depth Of 1888 feet
and the well made a good showing after
being shot with rs quarts of rack-a-rock
by w. S. Winchester. At a depth of $40
feet the drill encountered forty feet of
gas sand. This is something unusual,
so the manager states, and the quantity
of gas will suffice to run all the ma
chfnery for the company on this tract.
Mr.. Crawford, in speaking of this well,
said it was very gratifying for the COM
pany to make this good strike in what is
practically wild cat stuff. The well is
in a line with the Bonnie wells on the
west and the Shaw wells three miles to
the east

About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morning,
while off the mouth of the Columbia
river, the Queen caught fire in her after
saloon in some unexplained way. With
1HdeScflDADle SWlttneSS the ire gained
Roadway and threatened soon to en-.
velop the whole ship. To add to the
horror the heavy seas running meant
death to any sent away in the life boats.
The flames became more and more
threatening until, when it seemed a
choice of deaths, Captain Cousins or
dered the life boats launched. They were
manned by the crew and ordered to re
main close to the ship. Into these the
women and children were placed. Hard
ly, however, had the boats been cast
loose when, unable to weather the fierce
waves, two of them were capsized
The passengers and those of the crew
who remained on board continued their
fight against the flames with increasing
success until $40 a. m, the fire was
brought under control.
When it was thought the danger from
fire was past, Captain Cousins recalled
the lifeboats and the occupants were
taken aboard. The Queen was headed
for the mouth of the Columbia river an6
about o'clock the steamer Santa Mon
lea was sighted. The Queen signalec
