Police Boat Still Out of Service.

The harbor police boat Vigilant has been
out Of service for ten days or more having
her boiler retubed and other repair work
done to put her in good order for service
on the river this fan and winter Before
the boat can go into commission again she
will be hauled out on a marine railway to
have the metal on her hull renewed. This
metal was removed early last spring when
the Vigilant was hauled out to have her
hull rebuilt and was not replaced at the
time. AS she would be of no service what
ever in ice without the metal sheathing on
the hull to prevent the Ice cutting the
wood. Sergt. Bean of the harbor precinct,
the 5ilot Of the police boat, in the absence
OF Lieut.. Sutton. is preparing specifications

ENFORCING REGULATIONS.
Masters Of Sailing Vessels Caught Dis
obeying Instructions, Incur Penalties.

The marine regulations governing sailing
vessels require that each vessel shall have
her name in large letters on certain parts
of the boat where 1t can be readily seen;
that the name of the vessels master shall
appear on her papers; that her tonnage
shall be cut on the forward hatch BEAM
and there are other regulations equally
strict. There has been disposition on the
part Of certain vessel masters and owners
whose craft are in service on Chesapeake
Bay, to disregard these regulations. and as
a consequence several of them are now out
of pocket considerable sums of money and
are much wiser than they were a week ago.
The collector of customs at Baltimore a
few days ago sent customs house In
spector out on a quiet trip among the bay
craft lying at the Baltimore wharves. and
that official rounded up a half dozen vessels
on which the regulations mentioned were
being violated. The masters of the vessels
were summoned before Collector Stone, at
Baltimore, and the schooner M A Col
burne was assessed $40; the schooner Anna
Francis, $50; schooner May Flower of Cris-
field. SO; schooner Brothers. $40; schooner
Clarence and Eva, $40; schooner Mary A.
Kirwan. $50.
Il l. stated that the same action Is to be
taken by the collector Of customs here to
being violated on the Potomac.

ARMY AND NAVY NEWS

The general staff OF the army has ar
ranged with the officials of the mint at
Philadelphia for the production of new
series of military service medals designed
by F. D. Millet Of New York city In col
liberation with others. The name Of the
recipient of medal will be stamped on the
edge, a portion of the milling being cut
away for that purpose. This departure from
the previous custom of placing the name
of the recipient on the face Of medal Is
made because the artist holds that such In
scription mars the artistic appearance Of
the decoration. Distinct medals are pro-
vided for the Spanish war, the Philippine
insurrection, the China relief expedition, the
Indian wars and for meritorious service at
other times. The Philippine medal on the
diverse face shows a palm tree, balance
scales and an ancient lamp, surrounded by
the words. philippine instruction, $780,

face Spanish castle surrounded by leaf
scrolls and the words, Spanish war, 1893 -

In addition Arkansas. Colorado. Illinois,

Utah will send special representative as
an observer with a view to sending team

To the experience gained in actual shoot
Ing the tournament Is also expected to be
of great value In enabling the team CAP
tains and others to observe how the
matches are conducted, and the fitting up
and handling of large ranges. Half mil
lion dollars annually henceforth will be
available for rifle practice in the National
Guard and for no other purpose. AS it may
be devoted to acquiring ranges and shoot
ing galleries 1t is expected that within a
very few years each state will have one or
more large well equipped ranges. Ohio is
already an active contestant for the ma
tional matches next year. The observations
at the matches this year, 1t is thought, will
be quite as valuable as the actual expert
ence in shooting.
