Playing the War Game.

The officers school, which was held
about 3 p. NJ. in one of the store
house tents, took up the so-called War
game, and under the instruction of
Lieut.. Butcher developed into one OF
the most interesting schools of the en-
tire camp. The war game supposes
some knowledge of topography and
mapmaking on the part of those par
ticipating and is worked out in as
much detail as a game of chess, pins
and other devices are used to repre-
sent the opposing forces and they are
moved upon a map made upon scale
of IL inches to mile, while both the
time and distance of all the move
ments are accurately kept.
The problem worked out, Friday aft
ernoon, was one of patrol. The Reds
under command of Lieut.. Christie of
leo. f and Lieut.. Alden of Co. c, rep
resented a patrol of a lieutenant and
IL men sent out from garrison, when
had taken possession of Fort LeaVeh-
worth. while the Blue forces in COM
mand of Lieut.. Harvey of co. U ana
Lieut.. Hanson, adiutant of the Sd Bat
talon, represented another patrol sent
out from a camp established by a
force, which had been driven out OF
Fort Leavenworth by the garrison now
in possession.
The Red patrol was sent out Tor the
sole purpose of recommending. Whlie
the Blue patrol had orders to reach a
certain farm between the blue camp
and Fort Leavenworth and drive the
cattle there into camp before they

Have Charge Of Measure.
conferees Are Now at Work on II e
Farmers Free List Bill.

Washington. Aug. 11.--Dotfing their
coats and for the first time in history
inviting the press to be present the
conferees Of the two houses of Con-
gress on the wool tariff revision and
farmers free list bills sat down today
to compose their differences. Finally
at z. NJ, they effected a complete
agreement on wool and began consid-
GRAFTON of the free list The confer
ence began at 10 o'clock this morning.
The wool bill, as agreed upon, will
be reported to the Senate tomorrow by
Senator La Toilette and to the House
by Rep Underwood. They will direct
the course of the bill in those two
bodies AS the House has the papers
bearing upon the bill, that body will
have to act first.
The bill was so amended as to re-
quire that the proposed law shall take
effect Oct. 1 instead of Jan. !, was
provided in the Senate and House
measures. The conferees hope to have
the report adopted in both Houses to-
morrow and the bill quickly started
on its course to the White House,
where the President is expected to
veto it.
The free list bill was under consid-
GRAFTON about 10 minutes, but the con-
flict between the representatives of the
two Houses was so pronounced that 1t
became necessary to postpone action
until tomorrow afternoon.
After fixing % per cent. ad valorem
as the duty on raw wool and chang-
ing the whole classification so as to
conform to the language of the House
bill, the agreement on other features
became a matter of detail. At times,
there were sharp differences OF opln-
ion, but at no time was disagreement
on that measure threatened.
The change in classification has the
effect of fixing a fiat duty on all
woods and while it reduces the rates
on ordinary woods from IS per cent,
as provided in the Senate bill and in
creas SEES the rates on carpet woods from
10 per cent, as provided in the Senate
I bill to the 80 per cent. fixed by the
conferees.
