THURSDAY EVENING. JULY 30. 1903.

The Alexandria military company
and other state troops are now in camp
at Chickamaugs learning the slt OF war
without being shot at. however. The
militia and the reguls RS are thrown to-
geiher in the same camp in order that
the former may be taught real soldiery.
The citizen soldery is very different
thing from what it was twenty-five years
ego. Then belonging to a militia COM
pany was little more than belonging to
a club. The principal function was to
appear occasionally in uniform that
would scare horses and to parade the
town behind brass band, TO the infinite
delight of all the small boys. The an
nual encampment was a vacation picnic.
There was drill in the manual of arms,
all of which can be learned in few
DAYS. There was marching and coun-
ter-msrching by companies, and &C.
cssionally there were battalion eVolulions'
Il was a lark, and it wasn't much else.
1t is a good deal more than lark now.
The fancy uniforms have net entirely
disappeared, but they don't 50 to the
encsmpmants. Not single regiment,
but a brigade or division is assembled
in camp. There sre regular troops. The
militia pitch their tents. In many cases
they reach the camps by marches OF con-
siderable length aud no military exercise
is mora important than the ability 10
march. They dig trenches and throw
up breastworks. They do picket duty
and night marching. They ford rivers,
or build bridges over them. They scout.
They 20 through all the motions OF al
lacking the enemy or of onthanking him
or carrying rife pits. They have real
field maneuvers, as nearly as possible
such as they would have it called into
active service. If there should be war
this country would have to depend
mainly upon the citizen soldiery and the
militia of most of the states is now get
ting practical instruction in the belliger-
ent arts. If it should have to 20 into
service it would not be thoroughly
trained, but it would be very consider
ably trained and would be ready imme-
diatsly to garrison the Notifications, and
it would need but little training to make
it as effective as the regular force. Or
fcers and men would be prepared to be
Immediately useful.

Married Long Ago.

Berlin, July 80. The kaiser has been
thwslted in his attempt to prevent the
marriage OF Prince joachim Albrecht,

The Baron, an Austrian, was paid
SO, 500 at the time of his marriage and
was to receive the remainder upon the
granting of the divorce. Through fail
ure to pay one of the installmeols the
baron held up the divorce proceedings.
When the princess mad infatustion for
a woman of such low rank became the
talk Of GERMANY, the Kaiser bsnisht d
MIN to Africa, thinking thst he would
come to his senses in a short time. The
baroness was also ordered to lrave Berlin
by the police. She took up her resi-
deuce in Paris.
The moment the bsr1uess matrimonial
tangle was Strengthened out, the Prince

A Mothers Threat

! New York, July S0.-"I will kill
| that man so surely as am alive" That
threat shouted by the aged mother Of
Barbara Reig 10 the court room when q
coroner's jury branded the girl who was
shot dead in Irving Square PARK sui
eide aud exonerated Policeman David
Shellard has resulted In double police
gusrd being placed over the woman
today. Shellard, who had admitted
being with the girl at her death, WAS 10
one corner of the court room surrounded
by score of police who have strained
every nerve to protect him and in
another corner were the mother and
sister of the dead girl and her 6snce,
ArIhu. Hack.
When the jury announced the verdict,
the policemen crowded about Shellsrd
huggiDg aud cougrstulsting him. For
moment the other group seemed
stunned, then Mrs. Thompson, sister of
the Reig girl, lesped to her feet scream
ing as she pointed at Sheilsrd, "You
murderer, you murderer % The mother
also started toward the policeman and
then raising her hand above her head
shrieked:
81 will kill that man SO surely as 1
am alive"
Such excitement ensued that Coroner
Brewer feared a riot and ordered the
court room cleared.
The verdict of the cor>ner's jury was
given despite the testimony Of a woman
who declared Barbara Reig had told her
that Shellsrd had thrsstened murder and
of DR.. Samuel Hubbard, who declared
it impossible that the girl, as the police
contend, bad fred the shot that slew her
with Shellard's revolver.

Solicitor General Hoyt returned to
Washington today from Lenox, Mass,
where he attended the conference, called
by Attorney General Bonapalts to de-
termine upon the governments course in
further prosecution of the Standard Oil
Company for accepting rebates. Ac-
cording to the plans agreed upon by the
legal lights, the government will nile
motion for a reargument before the
Circuit Court of Appeals, in Chicago, OF
the $29, OOO,00 fine case. The apph-
cation for the resrgumeDt must be pre-
sented to the Circuit Court before August
20 and the government will probably re-
quire all that time to prepare the docu-
ment. Ait'r the governments appl'cs-
ton for reargument is filed, the Stand
ard Oil representatives will be given
twenty days in which to reply. Should
the application for resrgument be de-
MED, the government plans to ask the
Supreme Court of the United States to
order the Oircuit Court to send the rec
ord no for review. This action could
be taken within year, but it is believed
thst the government would present such
a request to the Supreme Court when 1t
conveues October II.

IT HAS again become evident that
Uspsukiug" Castro is an operation much
easier to talk about than to accomplish.
Holland may now have to sit down to
think over a way to correct or punish
the peppery little Venezuelan president,
thereby putting herself in the class with
the United States and France. The dis
patch of the Gelderlaud, it is announced,
does not mean bOmbsrdment but merely
"proteclion of Dutch interests" Vene-
zuean ports may not be attacked because
Great Britain, Germany and Italy have
q mortgage on the revenues, which
blockade or bOmbaIdment would shut
of. Diplomalically speaking, the stu
alton is delicate, but not grave. The
United States, by its objections to hav-
ing Great Britain, Germany and Italy
seize customs houses and hold them for
the collection of their debts by force, was
forced to provide some other means of
collecting them, the result being the
treaties which now make it impossible
for either Holland, France or herself to
take Castro in hand. Castro may or may
not be "pestiferous" and Unreasonable, Z"
but that he is contending for principles
which he believes to be right is inquest
ioned, and for this quality he should
be commended rather than condemned.

SAVED FROM A
SINKING BOAT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SEATTLE WASH. Sept. 17.-seventy-
five passengers were rescued from the
steamer Sentinel after it had collided with
the steamer Chippewa in a dense fog in
Puget Sound to-day. A wild panic fol-
lowed the collision. The Sentinel was bad
ly damaged. Distress signals were sound
ed and the crew Of the Chippewa manned
their life boats and went to. the rescue.
Men and women were running about the
Z cks Of the. Sentinel in wild confusion and
= any were about to leap into the water
v hen forcibly detained by the chippewa's
officers. AS soon as the sentinel's pas
sengers had been taken of the crew Of
the damaged steamer beached here near
ssattle. The water coming in through the
h,le in her side had just extinguished. the
