GERMAN WAR GAME.
Collision Between the Cavalry and
:. Artillery Divisions.

BERLIN, September 10.-The German war
game eliminated today in a collision be-
tween the cavalry and artillery divisions
of the reds and blues in which 10000 lances
and 200 quick-firing machine guns took
part.
The lines extended for Ave or six miles
over gently rolling plain. Emperor Will
liam. accompanied by his American and
other foreign guests, and attended by q
numerous staff, the whole forming a bril-
liant party of 100 horsemen, observed the
action from elevated ground. from which
almost all the surrounding country could
be swept with glasses. A lively artillery
engagement and detached charges by the
cavalry resulted in the blues driving back
the reds.
Maj. koerner, the German military at
tache at Washington was detailed by the
emperor to attend Gen. Barry and the other
visiting American officers. explain to them
fully the course of the maneuvers and to
show them the working of the field automo-
biles. the field kitchen, the signal and OBJ
servation balloons, the system of wireless
telegraphy. etc.
The emperor talked with Gen. Barry for
ten minutes on military subjects. He was
especially jolly and his remarks were in
structive.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. September TO-
Following the recent democratic primary,
at which nominees for the various state Of
fees were voted forfi the state democratic
convention met at Montgomery today to
declare formally the result.
Supporters Of B. B. Conner Of Birming-
ham, the rich cotton planter and manufac-
turer, who was nominated for governor by
20. 600 majority over Lieut.. Gov. r. n. Cum
bingham, will control the convention and
will see to 1t that platform strongly In
dorsing reduced freight rates and general
railroad and corporation regulation Ii
adopted.
It Is also expected that Bryan will be
Endorsed in general terms for the next dem
ocratic presidential nomination. but his
railroad owenrship plank will not be in
cluded in the Endorsement. as this sugges-
tion by the Nebraskan has met with siren
nous disapproval all over the south. The
railway regulation sentiment is strong in
this state and won a sweeping victory in
the nomination of Conner for governor,
since he represents that idea.
The race of Representative John r. Bank
head for the alternate senatorial nomina-
ton was the biggest surprise of the re-
cent primary, despite the fact that he was
the last of seven candidates to enter the
race. and that when he did enter 1t he did

Congress at the hands of Hobson. Col.

POOR SCORES ARE MADE
BAD LIGHT IHTERFERES WITH
THE SEA oInT MATCHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RIFLE RANGE, SEA GIRT. N. J..
September 1O.-Light conditions were very
poor when the firing ct the S00-yard Sea
Gdrt national Individual match was begun
at $50 O'Clock this morning and there were
less than 200 ridemen on the firing line.
Some of the best shots, who had made
good scores on the earlier ranges found It
difficult to see the target, and as q result
made poor scores Other men who had
come to the range with less aggregate made
some good scores, and thereby improved
their chances for getting the prize money.
Until the last shot shall have been fred at
the 1.0OO-yard range 1t will be difficult to
say who the winner will be.
Lieut.. Col. Boltus, the executive officer, Is
determined that the match shall end by
nightfall, II 1t Is possible to complete the
firing, and the present indications are that
It will be through by FIVE or SIX o'clock this
afternoon.
Statistical officer has given out the stand
ing Of the District of Columbia men for shot
in national pistol match. after careful
comparison OF the score cards was made.

The scores made at 800 yards by the

It was stated by the statistical officer at
II o'clock that no high scores at the COM
pletiOn OF the 500 yards range would be
posted until Deloach had made his second
skirmish run, as it was not known how
his score might affect his own total. as
well as the relative standing of the high
men. Deloach in his skirmish run on Sat
urday had the target next to Sergeant De
Hart Of the United States Marine Corps.
Of which he is a member, and his score
was protested because he had 03 and De
Hart had only 10.

MAY BE WORTH A FORTUNE.
Acquired by the Canal
Commission From the French.

NOQU1l6S1OA GIVm LILO E 4CAVhs
The sale Of 1900 tons Of cast iron junk
on the Isthmus Of Panama for $4,000 re-
Gently has encouraged the canal commits
sion to believe they have a small fortune
in machinery purchased from the French
Canal Company. The lot OF scrap iron sold
was assembled from a few acres of ground
which Chief Engineer Stevens found 1t
necessary to clear in order to construct
new switching yards for the Panama rail-
road.
One OF the officials Of the canal commits
sion said today that there were thirty
miles Of ground strewn with similar ma
chinery. He roughly calculated that when
this machinery Is gathered up 1t will be
worth q million dollars or more. Among
the items that will figure in this scrap
are 240 Belgian engines that are equipped
with copper boilers and bronze tubes.
While some Of these may be bought by
contractors for use in the United States.
most Of them are OF an obsolete type and
must be dismantled and sold as scrap
iron. The sales recently indicate that the
Junk market Is steadier than 1t ever has
been and is rapidly becoming an important
industry. Practically all Of the machinery
bought from the French is OF no use to
Chief Engineer Stevens. and very little Of
it Is now operated.

PARIS, September 1O.-The Matin states
that, according to the documents In the
transactions, the Jesuits are buying or
leasing houses, with the intention of trans
forming them into chapels. 1t is asserted
that they intend to organize privately In all
places were there is an income for religious
purposes, after -theeremoval of the, secular
religious leaders - *. K; = -
The Matin takes the, ground that the
pope is subservient to the influence of the
Jesuits, and provoked the rupture with
France and forbade the clergy to form as
sociations in. the interest Of the Jesuits.
The Matin adds:
Rome has joined hands with Berlin,
with the object of driving our priests from
their parishes and establishing the SUI
premacy of German Jesuistry. Conse-
auently the question is not merely reiig-
ious, but is one of patriotism"

out at times she was watched by some of
the police officers Of Alexandria, acting
under instructions from Mayor Paff The
object OF their surveillance was to ascer-
tain the names of any residents of the city
who might be seen going to the houseboat.

Is simply to report names. 1t Is under

no arrests.
The fact that occasionally a policeman
