the approval of both branches of the
legislature.l This afternoon things
moved with comparative smoothness
IN The conference room Upon the
appropriation bill itself both sides
haVet shown disposition to give and
take. The machine representatives
have recedcd from their position on
several of their more radical appro-
priauons, while the council has shown
disposition also to compromise upon
certain items in its bill. II the work
of The conference committee is con-
iined To the appropriation bill proper
ana no attempt Is made to attach
riders to it, there Is a strong proba-
hility that a satisfactory bill will be
framed which can pass both houses
tomorrow The danger lies In the
persistence of the machine I'm behalf
Of its campaign Of personal legisa-
ton which may lead It To demand the
retention of some of the objection

Any effort OF this kind will un-
doubtedly result in the failure OF an

HOTEL GUESTS ROBBED.
New Workers Lose Overcoats and
Four Razors

The rooms of three New Yorkers-George
Rathseber, who lives at $50 West sd
street, and Howard Wolf and William Stod-
dard. who live at the Lincoln Hotel-gllests
at the National Hotel in this city were
robbed Saturday night. The three men
came here 10 attend the dinner of the Thir-
teen Club. and ii was while they were
enjoying themselves in the banquet hall
that intruders took their overcoats. Mr.
Stoddard also lost a case containing four
raZors.
Before Mr.. Stoddard had discovered his
loss his raZors were offered al a pawnshop,
but the pawnbroker became suspicious and
questioned the man who wanted to nego-
tate loan. The latter became uneasy and
hurried from the place of business, leaving
the raZOrs on the counter
In one of the rooms the sneak thief pour
ed a pitcher of water upon the bed after
he had committed the theft. Inspector
Boardman had anticipated trouble with
crooks during the occasion of the big gath
ering at the hotel and three detectives were
assigned there for duty. Despite the vigi-
lance Of the police, however, the thieves
succeeded in getting away with the three

NO IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Selection of a Site Near Here for
Target Range

1t is stated at the War Department that
in view of the fact that there are no funds
available no immediate action will be taken
In regard to the selection of site in this
vicinity for use as target range for small
arms. Several weeks ago an army board
was appointed to visit the various sites sug-
gested with the view to selection of the one
best adapted to the purpose. That board
composed Of Col. H. O. s. Heistand,
adjutant general; Maj. J. D. Glennan, med
zeal department: Maj. E. E. Winslow, Corps
of Engineers; Capt B. B. Hyer. 18th Cav
airy. and Capt. T. NJ. Horn, Artillery
Corps.
The board inspected several suggested
sites including one near Knoxville, Md,
about fifty miles west of Baltimore another
near Falls Church, Va. and a third on the
Potomac river about twenty miles south of
Washington, and fourth near Manassas,
Va. One of the problems before the board
is to find a place sufficiently extensive to
afford ample protection to the people in the
vicinity. With the old-time weapons,
half-mile beyond the back-stop would be
sufficient, but with the present improved
rife provision must be made for bullets
travelling at least two miles beyond the
back-stop. 1t is therefore calculated that
the target range should be at least five
miles long and a mile or more In width.
These requirements add to the difficulties of
the situation. But, already stated, there
is no occasion for haste in the matter 1t
is intended that the range shall be model
of its kind and available for National
Guardsmen and civilian marksmen as we'll
as for members of the regular army.

STUDY OF GAELIC.
Chairs Established and to Be Founded
at Catholic University

There is much interest at the Catholic
University and among Irish-Amercans
throughout the country regarding the es-
Enlistment of Gaelic scholarships there
The Ancient Order of Hibernians in the
United States have taken this department
of the university under it's especial pa
tronage. and thus for the most gratifying
results have been reported.
Each state in the Union is to be repre-
scented at the university by a scholarship
and up TO date ten have been established.
The founding of many others is expected
TO be reported to National President Mat
thew Cummings of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians within the next month. The
chair of Gaelic is occupied by DR.. Joseph
Dunn and has been endowed to the extent
of $4,000.
The establishment of these ten scholar
ships marks, 1t is declared, as great a
stride as has ever been made at one time
in the United States In the study of this
language. Harvard and the Catholic Uni
versity are the two institutions which have
paid most attention to the subject The
movement for the study of the Irish
language received great impetus recently
President Roosevelt in which he recon-
mended that other universities throughout
the country establish chairs of Gaelic
DIR. Dunn is declared to be specialist in
the various Gaelic dialects and the stu
dents who receive the new scholarships will
pursue the study of Gaelic on a scientific
basis. Before coming to Washington DR..
Dunn was member of the faculty of
Harvard University.

Prof. Ewing began by explaining the ma
ture and origin of chivalry and it's knights.
From this he developed the knights of to-
day and their similarity to those chivalrous
organizations of old. He spoke of the neces-
sity for organization where any great good
was to be accomplished, and ended by men
tioning much of the good that is being done
by the knights of Columbus.
Following him. Father Brosnan. speaking
as a clergyman, said that the opposition
