of the Royal Arcanum made an address TO
the officers OF all the councils of the order
in the District at the Pythian Temple last
night on the questions rising out of the
recent changes OF rates of insurance.
There were more than a hundred members
of the order present. The rate matter was
discussed at length. all being invited to
participate, and they were given oppor-
tunity to air their views. Previous to the

question. The meeting was adjourned

hear Mr.. Robinson's address.
There was not time to call meeting of
all the members of the order, and the Off
GERS only were notified Mr. Robinson
took up the rate question in detail. Accord
ing TO the speaker the rates were raised
solely in the interests of the perpetuation
or the order and not for any other our-
pose. The new rates. he said were not
compiled by an insurance actuary a
group OF them but were made up after the
supreme council had considered the matter
thoroughly. Mr. Theodore Deland. assist
Treasury Department, made clear state
ment of his position In the premises. He
said he was one of the oldest members of
the order in the District and that he was
vitality affected by the changes He had
not yet been fully able to grasp the entire
meaning of the supreme council he de-
clared, but he was willing to let them work
the scheme out themselves, as he believed
their intentions were good. He advised
the members to abide in peace with the
present state of affairs the best way
out of difficulty.
This spirit seemed to animate the discus
sions throughout, although there were sew
era1 dissenting voices. Mr.. c. J. James.
collector of Oriental Council the largest
in the District said that OF all the MEM
bers who paid their dues TO him yesterday
there were only two who made objection to
the new rates. resolution of thanks was
extended Mr.. Robinson for mis- clear state
ment of the condition of the affairs of the
order.
After the resolution had been unanimous
~ adopted Mr.. Thomas G. Hensey made
an address in which he sharply criticised
the supreme council for It's action In rails
ing the rates, and declared 1t should have
moved more slowly in such an important
matter.

Violation Of Smoke Law.

John Z. McGaw, manager of the Purity
Ice Companys plant at 9th and l. streets
northeast, was in the Police Court before
Judge kimball this morning on a charge Of
violating the smoke law.
Inspector Wollard testified that he had
the plant under observation for about an
hour, and objectionable smoke was emitted
for two and one-fourth minutes. Mr.. McGaw
stated that this was his first violation since
last December. This violation was caused,
he said because of an accident to one of
the boilers of the plant, which made 1t
necessary to crowd the other boiler. He
stated that. although 1t was not cheaper
than paying fines, he was burning more
and better coal, which did not smoke.
The fine was $40 which was paid.

DEPARTED AND RETURNED.
Artillerymen Recalled as They Were
About to Leave.

The 18th Company of Coast Artillery.
which went to Fort Washington from Key
West to take part in the recent army and
navy exercises yesterday had the expert
ence of the kings army IN the song. who
first marched up the hill and then marched
down again.
Yesterday was the day set for the SOL
ders to begin their trip back to their
home station In Florida and early yester-
day morning. with their baggage and other
impedimenta, they were loaded on the
steamer Estelle Randall and brought up to
this city. About noon they We're transfer
red to a Southern railway train in waiting
at 9th street and Maryland avenue. and
big wagons were pressed into service to
transfer the large quantity of baggage and
stores from the wharf to the train. The
train with the soldiers aboard was to leave
at 3 pm, but just few minutes before the
starting time messenger from Fort WASH
ingtOn came riding up post haste and hand
ed the commanding officer order to re-
turn with his command to Fort Washing
ton.
1t seems that after the 18th Company,
which was the last of the extra companies
to leave the fort for their regular stations,
had sailed for this city, an order was re-
main there. The army tug Gibbon was sent
with full head of steam to this city to
intercept the returning company and she
arrived here just In time to do it. The SOL
diers disembarked from the train, the wag-
ons We're again called into service and men
and baggage were transferred to the
steamer and late yesterday afternoon went
back to the fort.
1t is understood that the 18th Company
will not return to Key West, but will be-
come part of the regular garrison at Fort
Washington and this was the cause of the
change in its orders.

At the meeting of the recruiting officers
for the high school summer encampment

of the four companies at the seashore at
the next meeting of the cadets, which is to
be held at the Ebbitt House, in the red

have their names enrolled by July 5. Ca
diets from the Eastern, Western and Cen
trail High Schools are sending their names
to F. S. NARROW, 100 East Capitol street, or

The tents to be used in the camp are all
large wall tents, and as there are to be
only two boys in a tent 1t has been re-
quested that each cadet, when he enlists,
shall designate the name of the boy he
wants for terminate and his request will be
given consideration as far as possible by
the commander of the companies.
Capt c. o. Howard leaves this evening
for Ocean City, to remain over the Fourth
