Too Many Rifles.

The War Department is OVERSIZE cked
with rifles, and would like to gec rid
of them, so as not to have to use val
uable room to store them Many thou
sands have been sold, but there still
remain some $4,000 Remingtons and
Springftelds which were discarded
shortly after the Spanish War.
In the last year or so the Army has
been equipped with the modern 1906
rifle, and there are 100000 Krag-Jor-
gensens which would be available in
case of necessity.
Army officers are disposed to hold
on to the Krag-Jorgensens, but officers
of the Spanish War eVterans and other
semi-rliltary bodies are applying for
arms with which to drill and have tar
get practice.
President Roosevelt and Senator
Warren, Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs have been
in consultation as to the best method
Of disposing of the surplus of>oId arms.
Both President Roosevelt and Senator
Warren believe that by The jndicious
use of the a rms not In service the Reg
ular Army may be supplemented by
patriotic reserves, willing to respond
promptly in the event OF war. The
Spanish War eVterans, it is pointed out
have about $50 Camps thruout the
country, and the large majority or the
members are still within ;he military
limit for service. If afforded the use
of the Krag-Jorgensens, the officers oi
the Camps would train their comrades
in target work and in other ways thai
would keep them in trim for active
duty should necessity arise.
The National tribune., 1909-01-14

The other members will rise and stand
at attention when the Inspecting Officer
approaches within two beds of them,
and be seated when he passes This
method will be observed as far as prac-
ticable in all wards in company quar-
ters. Members who are feeble need
not be required to stand, but may sit
at attention, their chairs being careful
iy aligned at the foot of the beds.
The members who are detailed to
handle the apparatus for protection
against fire will take position beside
the pieces assigned them and stand at
attention thruout the inspection of the
ward.
Card passes will be exposed on the
beds at such places as may be desfg-
mated, and the method for exposing
uniform clothing for inspection will ba
indicated by a printed diagram posted
in each ward.
All members will be required to re-
main quietly by their beds until the in
spection OF the barracks is completed.

high credit for the promptness with
which the orders were issued and the
quickness with which the vessels were
upon the scene of distress. Mr.. New
berry, who comes from an old family
in Detroit, is man on the sunny side
of his half century, having been born
Nov 5, 1864, and has shown himself a
capable executive He is a graduate
of the Sheffield Scientific School of
Yale, is a manufacturer, and has al
ways taken deep interest in naval
affairs. At the beginning of the Span
ISL War he was in command of the
Naval Reserve of Michigan, which
promptly offered its services and be-
came part of the Navy He and his
command were on the Yosemite, which
did such splendid service on the coast
Of Cuba in capturing blockade runners
and participating in the various actions
with the land batteries and Spanish
ships up until the crowning victory at
Santiago. He was appointed Assistant

With the dismissal of the Grand Mo-

be, there comes a sudden end TO the
visit of the Chinese gang that came
here to thank President Roosevelt for
the Chinese rebate" on the Boxer riots
fund. The Chinese party. headed by

hike right straight back home, and
perhaps pay for the hike both ways
He called on the President the other
day to present his letter of recall. Mr.
Tang called on Secretary Root at his
residence also, and had a conference
to arrange the details of his presenta-

Mr.. Tang will probably leave Wash.

Lord Fairfax,

Can one serve two masters? The
question is as old as the nativity, and
has always been answered in the mega
tive. Lord" Fairfax was born under
the American flag. in the English
named town of Northampton, Prince
George County, Va. He lived there
till he was IS. and then took up his
residence in New York City He has
always had q hankering for that title
Lord Fairfax. He inherited it from
his father, DR.. John Contee Fairfax, of
CalJert County, Nd, who, like his
American ancestors, declined to accept
his rightful title, and always remained
plain DIR. Fairfax. The family has been
prominent in the South, especially in
Virginia, for more than two centuries.
His son seems not to have the same
red blood In his veins, however, and
has been Fostering the House of Lords
for years to fix up his title for him.
Now it is fixed. The House of Lords
Committee on Privileges has declared
the right of Albert Kirby Fairfax, who
is a native of Virginia, and who has
been described as the only American
bearing an English title, to the rank
and title of Lord Fairfax of Cameron
in the Scottish peerage.
The committee heard evidence on
the matter for two hours. J. A. Bar
rett, Lord Fairfax's attorney, presented
the Fairfax family Bible and much
documentary evidence to prove his
clients descent The Attorney General
for the Government and the Lord Ad-
rvocate of Scotland declared Themselves
as satisfied regarding the validity of
the claim, and Lord Alverstone, Lord
Chief Justice. pronounced the decision
of the committee. This does not give
to Lord Fairfax seat in the House
of Lords, as only limited number of
Scottish Peers. elected by the Lords,
sit in the House.
Lord Fairfax is one of six children.
His only brother, who is the heir pre-
sumptive. is Hon. Charles Edmund
Fairfax. and lives in New York. as does
also his sister, Hon. Mary Cecilia Fair
fax. Another sister, Hon Mrs. e.
Lawndes. Rbett, lives in Brooklyn The
other two sisters, Hon. Mrs. Tunstall
Smith and Hon. Caroline Snowden
Fairfax, live in Baltimore.
Lord Fairfax says:
81 am often asked if 1t is possible to
be loyal to America and at the same
time be q member of the British peter
age, and each time / answer that it is.

hood is just as strong to-day as ever II

Anniversary of Ransom Post.

On the evening of Dec. 10 Ransom
Post held a most successful Campfire.
which was the 25th anniversary of its
organization. About 900 comrades, their
wives and friends sat down to tables
that were ladened with the rich edibles
of the season fit for King. Command
er Denham, of the Post; Department
Commander Martin and Past Conn
mander-in-Chief Rassieur. with other
dignitaries. sat at the chief table. After
willing discussion of the rich menu
a very full and interesting historical
sketch of the organization of Ransom
Post was given by Judge Comrade Muir
ply by whom, in connection with
Uncle Billy" Gen. Sherman, the Post
was organized. Then followed a most
admirable address by Hon. John
son, son of veteran, who exhibited
great oratorical powers, as well as a
noble spirit of patriotism, as was shown
by his father before him. Past Com
mander-in-Chief Rassieur then enter
tanned the company in his well-known
interesting style. Ransom Post has had
on its muster roll over 1000 names,
many of whom have dropped out, some
for the great camping ground on the
other side,' some for other parts of our
country, some IN retirement, Dut some
300 are still in active membership, and
manfully hold up the good name of
Ransom Post, which is known all over
our broad country. Commander-in-
Chief H. M. Nevius, of New Jersey. and
part of his staff visited our city on Dec.
81, and were given Campfire" by the
Posts of the city, Past COMMANDMENT
Chief Rassieur presiding. The largest
hall of the city was crowded by the old
boys to greet the Commander on his
first visit West. Right nobly did he
address the boys, who greeted him with
a soldiers welcome. Chaplain Hagerty,
Past Chaplain-in-Chief, gave the Com
mander-in-Chief a gavel made from
wood from Wilson's Creek battle-ground
and Gen. Grants log cabin, which the
Commander-in-Chie said he would use
in opening the National Encampment
next May. The Commander-in-Chi
made fine impression on the minds
and hearts of the comrades of the West
Commander Martin gave him a warm
welcome to the Department of Missouri.
Missouri has taken her position among
the States of the Nation, and expects to
make a growing record for herself in
the future.-T. H. Hagerty, Past Chap
lain-in-Chief.

MIR. Chung Mun-Yew, First Secretary
of the Special Mission.
Tsai Flu, an Imperial Prince, who ac-
companied Mr.. Tang, will probably re-
turn to China by way of San Francis
co, accompanied by several Secretaries
and Attaches of the Mission. Mr.. Yum
kwai, Secretary. will probably re-
main in Washington for the present.
The recall l-of Mr. Tang is an echo of
the downfall of Yuan Shi Kai, the
Grand Councillor of the Chinese En-
pire, who was recently dismissed from
Office in disgrace. Mr. Tang was sent
TO the United States several months
ago by the late Empress Dowager, and
was a protege of Yuan Shi Kai. The
Empress died while the party was on
the ocean coming over.
