REPUBLICAN MARCHING CLUB.
Efforts to Revive It for the Present
CAMPAIGN.

Steps are being taken, it is said, to re-
organize the Interstate Republican March
ing Club of this city, and Messrs. William
A. Hickey and John w. Richardson are
engaged in preparing a roll of all the for
n:er members of the organization. In the
political campaign four years ago the club
had a large membership, comprising a
number of prominent republicans and
voters in the several states. 1t is stated
that the club did effective work in the dis
tricts of Representative Mudd and Pearre
In MARYLAND, and at the close of the cam
paign of 1900 the District marchers were
present at the big republican rally in Bal
timore after marching in torchlight pro-
cession through the streets of that city.
They were afterward handsomely entertain
ed by the republican organizations in Balti-
more.
The program for the present campaign
proposes similar work in Mary Ind, and
perhaps in other nearby states Those in
terested in the reorganization of the In
terstate Republican Marching Club say
thew expect to have still larger member
ship this year. the members to wear dis
tinctive and attractive uniform and carry
torches.
The club in 1eOO was commanded by Col.
/ A. Straight of Oregon, who is now said
to be in communication with Chairman
Cortelyou of the republican national COM
mittee in reference to the proposed reor-
ganizatiOn.

The officers and crew of the L. S. coast
survey schooner Matchless, the vessel
which has been lying at anchor off Mar
shall Hall for several weeks past have
completed the surveys of the Potomac at
that point and yesterday sailed, 1t is
stated, for Baltimore. The Matchless,
under the command of Capt Vinal, began
work on gathering data of the Potomac
early in the spring. when she anchored
off Alexandria. While lying there the
coast survey engineers aboard made a
survey of the river from the entrance of
the harbor here to River View, boats
crews being out every day making sound
ings from one bank of the river to the
other.
About two months ago the Matchless
left her anchorage off Alexandria and
went down the river to Marshall Hall
From that point surveys of the river were
made from River View to Glymont and
even further down. The data gathered by
the Matchless and the surveys made of
the lower part of the river by the steamer
Endeavor during the summers of 1902
and 1903 will, it is stated, be embraced in
new charts of the Potomac, which are to
be issued by the coast and geodetic sur
Vey. The charts now in use were prepared
over a quarter of a century ago.

MADE qHE1R ESCAPE.
Two Soldiers Gave Eommodore Sutton
Run Over the Piers.

There were exciting times about the head
quarters of the harbor police on the river
front yesterday, when two intoxicated SOL
diers made an attempt to steal away In
one OF the batteals used by the harbor Of
ficers In dragging for drowned persons and
for other work. The BEATS were moored at a
dock adjoining Commodore Sutton's head
quarters, one end Of the line holding them
being made fastit the harbor Office pier
and the other to the wharf adjoining. The
soldiers wanted to take boat ride, and
without asking Permission they started to
take one of the boats. Before they could
cast the lines on however. they were dis
severed and then began chase after them.
me soldiers were expert climbers, and the
way they made their way by broken piles
ana unstable planks from wharf to wharf
made the heads Of their pursuers swim,
though commodore Sutton kept close at
their heels.
by climbing from the morgue wharf to
the ferry wharf and outathe gate of the
ferry house the soldiers eluded their pur-
suers, and the last seen Of them they were
nylng up 7th street toward Pennsylvania
avenue.
