TeIegraphins on Moving Trains.

Experiments with wireless telegra-

ORDERS TO Be ISSUED IN A FEW DAYS
WORK OF THE TROOPS WILL BE
CONFINED TO PRACTICAL
OPERATIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
A general order will be issued from
the war department in a few days.
giving instructions in regard to the
exercises of the mobilization of troops
in the summer at Mount Gretna and
the other six camps of concentration. 1t
has been decided to hold no sham bat
ties, and to indulge in nothing of
spectacular nature. The work of the
troops. both regular and militia. will
be confined to practical operations and
exercises which tend to harden SOL
diers to out of door life and train them
for the hardships and exposures or
field work.
There will be abundant field marches
and night bivouacs away from the
regular camps. There may be at each
of the camps final review, which will
be attended as far as possible. by
distinguished officers. 1t is possible
that General Bell, chief of staff will
visit all of the camps some time in
their existence, provided he can leave
his work in Washington. This may
not be possible for any length of time,
since his assistant, General T. H. Bar
ry, WILL a part of the time, be absent
in Europe, where he goes with other
officers, including General P. w. Du-
vail. to witness the German army ma
nueveres. Arrangements have also
been made for a new representative OF
the general staff at each of the camps
for the purpose of technical observa-
ton of the work of the troops. The Of
ficers who have charge of the camps,
such as General Grant at Mount Gret-
ma. where the New York militia will
be sent. are enjOined to see to it that
there is the least possible amount of a
soldiers show. and that everything be
done to give the camp a serious and
businesslike aspect

LIVERPOOL, June 27.-Stanley

remanded to the workhouse and will
probably be turned over to some re-

The last charge against him was hav-
ing slowed himself away on the liner
Victorian, from New York to Liver
pool. Condor's adventures in free
travelling all over the country are well
known and would fill a good sized
book. Something over a month ago,
after having lived quietly at his par
ents' home for some time, the ire
sistible desire to see the world again
seized him. He slowed away on yes
sci bound for Halifax. On arriving
there he evaded the authorities and
made his way to the railroad station,
where he secreted himself on a west
bound railway train. Eventually the
boy reached Winnipeg. He stayed
there one day and then set out for
New York, tramping part of the way
and stealing free railway rides when
ever he got a chance. At New York
he boarded the Victorian and was not
discovered until after she had sailed.
He was arrested upon the arrival of
the ship in this port and remanded to
the workhouse, but managed to es-
cape For several days his place OF
hiding could not be discovered. but
finally a constable found him near the
docks and the boy was again imprison-
ed Candor was accompanied by two
other boys when he was found, and it
seems that the trio intended to start
on another stOwaway adventure.
