HOT TIME IN THE HOUSE. Bland's. Tiew of It Kot Nearly Eo Roseato as It Has Been. THE P1SSAGE OP THE TINPLATE BILL JErrCIAI. TELEORAfBTC LETTER.' Bureau or Tnc Dispatch, I Wabhihotos. D. (X. July 8. j Tinplate reduced in duty to 1 cent a pound after October 1, 1992, and to be put on the free list after October 1, 1894; lead ore admitted free when it contains more silver in"valne than lead, and clothing of tourists admitted free only to the value of 100, Is the buncombe record of the Dem ocratic Honse on the tariff question for one day. If there were any sincerity or honesty in this rapid and destructive work it might be admirable in a way, but everybody knows, and the Democrats of the House know, that it was simply campaign buncombe. Many a Democrat voted lor the tinplate and lead ore bills to-day who would have voted otherwise were there any chance for cither measure beooming a law. As it was, they stood together simply to give the MeKinley act a blow in a general way. as it stands for tbe crest protection principle of the Re publican party. Not a Democrat of them all expects that anv of the tarifi bills passed by the Houso will ever be beard of again, but these free trade demagogues, upon the basis of to day's work, can go back to their con stituents, to whom the meaning of it all is Very vague at best, and show what a grand work they have done for the laboring men of the country. The Homestead Adair on Deck. The tinplate bill offered opportunity for the demagogues to get in again tnelr asser tion that the Homestead riots are the result of the tariff "Whiting, of Michigan, first made some slurring remarks of this char acter, and they were supplemented by the loud-mouthed McMillin, of Tennessee, who stirred up Dalzell, of Pittsburg, and for a few minutes there was the liveliest scene on the floor that has occurred for many a dav. No sooner had Dalzell flung defiance at McMillin to show in anv way that tarifi was responsible for the trouble at Homestead, than members left their seats and crowded toward the two men who were now hurling charge of denial at each other, and the contusion at once became so great that not even the stenographers could catch the words of either The seat of tbe two members are nearly 100 feet apart, and what with their shout ing at the top of their voices, the crowding and applauding of other members, and the thundering of tbe Speaker's pave!, tbe pict ure reminded one ot the earlier days ot the session, or of some ot the most exciting sceneV o the famous ltev-A Congress. Ealz-11 and McMillin rjs the Me. Of course it could only last for a few mo ments. As members begau to make their way back to their seats Dalzell was heard to shout above the confusion that he did not think the man lived who was mean enough to gloat over the dead and' dying men at Homestead, and .MeMillin to shout back that any man who acensed him of gloating over these men could truth full v be accused of falsehood, and that ended the exciting j coiiouuj-. If these Democratic demagogues do not gloat over the dead nnd dying at Home stead, some of them make a very narrow escape of gloating over the affair as a whole, which amounts to about the same thin?. It is impossible for some of them, in connect ing the occurrence with tbe tariff, to con ceal a' certain satisfaction that great use, as they think, can be made of the tragedy as" a campaign argument against the tariff In deed, some of them narrowly avoid convey ing the impression that they heartily re joice over it lor that reason. Doubtless much more of the same kind of talk as that of to-day will be heard before Congress ad journs. Prospects of tbe Free Silver Bill. The Stewart free silver bill will be re ported to the House favorably and without amendment probably to-morrow, and thus nothing will remain in th way of its speedy consideration but the issue of a special order by the Committee oh Rules that on a certain day the rules shall be sus pended and a vote taken, the rule requiring a two-thirds majority for bills passed under a suspension ot the rules being temporarily rescinded. This is the plan now in contemplation b? the Committee on Rules. It will do away with the necessity of reporting a cloture rule, so batefnl to the Democratic sense since the various detestable clotures prac ticed by Speaker Reed in tbe last Congress. xo taKe up me suver out under a suspen sion of tbe rules will almost be equivalent to the operation of the cloture, as under a sus pension of the rules only a few dilatory motions can be made, and the most persist ent filibustering can delay a vote but for a short time. Therefore, the Blabd bill, which was fili bustered out of existence a lew months ago, and which was supposed to have laid tbe free collage question to sleep in the House for at least this session, will be resurrected in the form of the Stewart bill, and forced to a direct vote. What its fate will be no one can guess at this writing. The Tactics ot the Filibugteren. "When tbe excited filibustering over the Bland bill was in progress nearly every one admitted that If a direct vote could be had on the measure it would pass The fili bustering antis showed their fear of this in the tactics they adopted. It was well known that there were a number of Demo crats who would vote to prevent considera tion on all sorts of dilatorv motions, be lieving that it would be injudicious to pass snch a bill previous to the nominating con vention, and possibly previous to the elec tion, who would not dare, on account of their constituents, to vote directly aeainst free silver. The free coinage people de clared that on a direct vote they would have a majority of from 15 to 20l The direct vote never came, and the question with them is whether on a direct vote, at this time, they can muster that majority, or any majority at all. The timid silver plank in the Chicago platform, and the nomination of a pro nounced anti-free coinage candidate for President, have changed the situation materially, and Mr. Bland admitted to me to-dav that he knew of two or three Demo crats who on a direct vote would have sup ported bis bill, but will now vote against the Stewart bill. Bland's Pessimistic View of tire. As neither the silver plank of the Chicago ilatform, nor tbe nomination of Cleveland fleeted unfavorably tbe free silver vote, it ; not easy to see why it should do so in the louse. After his former defeat, however, jr. Bland has taken life in a very subdued anner, as though he bad little hope of ivthinesood occurring more in this world. Mr. Pierce, of Tennessee, Bland's right wer, is more sanguine, tie processes to ve no doubt of the outcome, and that it II be a "victory for the Stewart MIL He Dalzell and MoHUlln. Blake It Pretty Lively fnraConp'e of Sllnntes Bis Majority for the Tin "Plate Iilll Other Bills Passed. "VVAsnnfOTOX, July a The filibuster ing of the Republicans In the House to-day a?ainst suspension day was not very vigor ous and was not pressed. The tin plate bill, the lead ore bill and the bill to limit the amount of wearing apparel which trav elers may bring into this country free of duty were passed under suspension day, the Democrats having a larger number of mem bers present tbau they have had for months. The vote on the tin plate bill was: Yeas, 207; nays, CG. A bill was passed amending the land forfeiture bill of 1890. There were lowering clouds over the bill providing a local government for Utah, but, although there wore some flashes of lightning, it was finally passed without injury, as was also the bill regulating car coupling. Lacking a quorum on the California debris bill the House adjourned. During the debate on the tin plate bill Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee, referred to the occurrences at Homestead. Tbese occur rences, he said, showed that the present tarifi, instead of increasing the wages of labor, as had been claimed by the Repub licans, had decreased them. Did any man deny it? Da'zell Denies the Accusation. Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, most em phatically denied it. Mr. McMillin again declared that the wages of labor bad decreased, and again Mr. Dalzell entered a denial, supplementing it with a declaration that the gentleman did not know what he was talking about Mr. McMillin referred the gentleman to the statement made bv Mr. IVick to sub- stan iate his statement, and added that it was the gentleman himself who did not know what he was talking about. Mr. Dalzell responded that he undertook to satisfy any fair and intelligent man in the House that the unfortunate affair at Homestead had nothing to do with the tariff question. Mr. McMillin retorted that the Republi cans had promised that wages would be in creased. That this promise had not been fulfilled had been shown, and the Republi cans were eensithe when the failure was commented upon. If the gentleman from Pennsylvania desired to maintain that the promise had been fulfilled, why had he not got up and done so when he had an oppor tunity to talk? Gloating Over th" Ylctiim Corpses. Mr. Dalzell replied tbat he had not done so, because he had believed that there was not a man so mean as to gloat over the dy ing men at Homestead. Mr. McMillin retorted that any man who accused another of gloating over the affair nt Homestead could be truthfully accused of falsehood. This dialogue did notlast over half a min ute, but it was a half minute of a good deal of excitement and threw the House Into much confusion. The lead ore bill provides that ores con taining silver and lead, in which the valne of the silver contents shall be greater than the value of the lead content', according to sample nnd assay at the port of entry, shall be exempt from -duty. The land forfeiture bill extends the for feiture to the portions of the roads, which are uncompleted when the time expired within which the roads were required to be completed. free silver bill There are 13 voting mem ber of the committee, but only 11 were present to-day. Six of those present were tree silver men and the remaining five anti free silver men the free silver men, al though In a majority on the committee, lacking one of a quorum by themselves. -"When a -vote was taken on a motion to lay the biU on the table a motion calculated to bring out the strength ot the respective sides the anti-free silver men declined to vote, and thns thwarted any attempt to reacn a anai vote on toe bill at tbe meeting. Mr, a W. Stone moved the bill be re ported to the House with a recommenda tion that it be laid on the table. A vote was taken on this motion and resulted nothing to 6, the anti-free silver hieu de clining to vote. As this vote showed one less tban a quorum, and as the hour for the meeting of the House had almost arrived, the free silver men came to the conclusion, in view of their Inability to secure a quo rum, that it would be useless to try to force action, and so an adjournment was taken until 6:30 o'clock. The House was still in sesslou at 0:30, and as the committee has no authority to sit during the cessions of tbe House, the meeting was vacated. Chair man Bland has called another meeting for 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. HOME RULE IS DEAD So Far as the New Parliament Now Being Elected Is Concerned. LIBERAL MAJORITY TOO SMALL.

THE POLICY OF PROTECTION Defended Against Voorbees' Attack by Mr. Galllncrr The Homestead Difficulty .Again Brought TJp in the Senate Quay Gets Frick's Interview TrlnteH. Washington, July 9. The Senate did not make much progress to-day on the sun dry civil appropriation bill, although it spent four hours in consideration. The regular annual discussion on the subject of geological survey was Indulged in, and the Chief of Geological Survey, Major Oowell, came in for more tban his ordinary share of criticism for his methods of seconding an annual appropriation of about 51,000,000. Finally science carried the day by a vote of 31 to 21. The resolntions as to the Homestead con flict were not reported back from the Com mittee on Contingent Expenses, but Mr, Gallinger, who offered the first of them, ob tained the floor and made a speech in de fense of tbe policy of protection. The Associated Press interview with Mr. Frick was presented by Mr. Quay, and read so as to secure its publication in the Jiecord. Mr. Hill made a speech, practically his first eflort in the Senate, in explanation of a bill introduced by him changing the date of the dedication of the World's Fair 1ml 1 cl ings at Chicago from the 12th to the 21st of October, and the Senate paid him lhe com pliment of immediately passing the bill without the formality of referring it to a committee. Mr. Gallinger, referring to the resolution which he offered Wednesday as to the Homestead conflict, said he had hoped it would have been agreed to without a par tisian discussion, but in that he had been disappointed, inasmuch as the Senator from Indiana had seen fit to arraign the Repub lican party and hold it and the tariff re sponsible for the unfortunate outbreak and bloodxhed in Pennsylvania. He expressed his belief that the system under which Pinkerton detectives were employed was a vicious one, anu nc trusted mat tbe com mittee would investigate that phase of the questioned give to the country reliable information about it. As to the merits of tbe contest, his impression was that an investigation would show that both sides were in a measure right Capital was often selfish, arrogant and despotic: yet capital had rights as well as labor, ana employes as well as employers sometimes did wrong He sympathized with the labor ing man, but it would be remembered that in the Homestead case the scale of prices submitted by the company did not very materially affect wages, and that if the Question had been submitted to arbitration as it should have been done) trouble would have doubtless been averted. He believed the remedy for labor troubles in the United States would be found in the reduction of undesirable immigration. He tnanked God that he belonged to the political party which had done so much for the laborinir people of the country, for without American industry American labor would go unem ployed. The sundry civil bill was then taken up and the paragraph for surveys and resurveys of public lands was amended by increasing the appropriation to $450,000. Alter dis posing ot 20 pages of the bill it was laid aside. The House bill to rednce the duty on tin plate was laid before the Senate and referred. Adjourned. . Arguments To-Day in the Philadelphia Company' Snlt Over Tearing Vp Fifth Avenue The City and Contractors Ac cane the Company ot Disregarding the taw. The city and Booth & Flinn will this morning file an answer in court to the bill in equity filed on the 1st insfant by the Phila delphia Company, by which the city was re strained from interference with the com pany in digging up Fifth avenue from Wilkins avenue eastwardly. The answer will be filed and the case argued this morning. Considerable is involved for tbe company. Under their ordinance they have the right to dig up the streets for repairs to their pipe lines, and this is what they were doing when the city Interfered. But the city is having that part of Fifth avenue repaved, and tbs company's men are going along just ahead of the city's contractors digging up the street, and, it isalieged, not filling up xne aiicn properly, so mat tne worK ot re paying cannot be done as it should. At a meeting In the City Attorney's office yesterday afternoon the line of de fense was decided upon. No denial ot the Gas Company's right to dig up the streets will be offered, but it will be shown that a year ago the city decided to pave that por- uuu ui in hi avenue, auu nonnea roe com pany to make whatever repairs in their lines they desired, so that the ground would be thoroughly settled before the contractors would begin. Instead of obeying this order, the company waited until last week, when the contractors started work. Their object was to save money, as by preceding the contractors they did not need to repair the street where they dug it up. But their ordinance requires that they shall refill and repair where they dig up, replacing the street in as good condition as they found it. Atten tion will be called to this, and it will be claimed that this feature of the ordinance was disobeyed and neglected, and that In consequence the contractors cannot lay the pavement according to the city specifica tions, the ground being so soft and yielding that whereas a ten-ton roller is required to pass over it, the ground will not Support a nve-ion roner, ana tne paving will not be accepted bv the city. It the suit is decided in the city's favor, it be a great advantage hereafter in street improvements.

The stable of Jacob Schwartz, on the New Brighton road near Grant street, Alle gheny, wss destroyed by fire last night, en tailing a loss of probably 51,000. Three horses were liberated and considerable harness was saved. The fire was discovered shortly before 9 o'clock, and someone turned in an alarm from station 321. The person then ran toward tbe stable and left the box open. Some boys gathered around add one of them turned in two additional alarms calling out two more districts. The rapidity with which the alarms sounded created great excitement about City Hall, and large numbers of people went down to the place. In anticipation of a large fire patrol wagon No. 2 was sent to the scene. The firemen on their arrival easily protected the adjoining property from danger, al though the rear of Mr. Schwartz's house was slightly burned. The origin of the fire is not known.

C Crawford. corraiQirrl892BY jr. T. associated r-nKss.1 London, July 8. Out of the 24 county comtituenoes contested yesterday the Lib erals lost two and won two. These results dispose of the last possibility that Mr. Gladstone will obtain a reliable working majority. "Though disappointed in the boroughs," said the Liberal chiefs, ''when the counties wheel into line we will sweep the country." As the elections held yester day are fairly representative no great Lib eral triumph can be expected from the county votes when completed. The Liberal Executive relied upon cap turing ten counties in the voting yesterday. They admitted that tbeir calculations must be realized in order to fulfil their expecta tion that the agricultural labor vote was theirs. With their prediction falsified, the last hope fades that the Gladstone Govern ment will be buttressed by a strong coherent party. On the contrary, the Liberal ma jority must now depend on the Irish party. Even with the- support of both the Irish sections, it is improbable that Mr. Glad stone will have more than a majority of CO. The Conservative Estimate Loner. At the Conservative headquarters a ma jority of more than 20 is held to be improb able. Captain Middleton, who occupies in the Conservative party a position similar to that held by Mr. Schnadhorst in the Lib eral party, can point to his estimate made prior to the elections 'as now being verified. The Conservatives regard with malicious equanimity the prospect of Mr. Gladstone in power with tho sole prop of the Irish vote between him and collapse. .among tne certainties ot the tuture nothing is so certain as that a long period of political turmoil is before the country. A Conservative Government with a small majority readily controlled and accustomed to obey, would be comparatively secure. Mr. Gladstone, with a small majority com posed of motley groups -of Liberals, Rad icals, Laborists, McCarthyites and Parnell ites will be unable to effect any serious leg islation. This self-evident fact has given rise to a rumor that he will decline to form a Minis try, and that he will recommend the Queen to send for Earl Spencer tor that purpose. The Liberals rightly ridicule the rumor. They know that their chief, even with a nominal majority of 20, is ready to'take office and produce his home rule bill. They are, also, beginning to admit that the chances of home rule passing the House of Commons are becoming remote. The Peers Have a Free Hand Now. If ever it does pass, no strain will be put upon the House of Lords in rejecting it. The peril to the House of Lords lay in vetoing home rule as backed bv the de clared will of tile country. All danger of that is now past. They can reject it with a light heart. Among other difficulties awaiting a Lib eral uovernment, is tne lormation ot a labor party not caring a rap for home rule, and ready to coalesce with any side. Al ready Burns and Hardie, the strongest per sonal forces among the Laborists, declare their intention to organize a party in Par liament and make terms for their support. When a majority is doubtful, even ten Laborists following Burns might decide the fate of the Government. Besides, along with tbe pure Laborists,the new London members will form a Munici pal Socialist group, equally regardless of home rule, and determined not to allow Irish questions to block the progress ot so cial reforms. With these and other factors operating against him, Mr. Gladstone's cherished scheme to give Ireland a separate Legislature seems a hopeless achievement. Anticipating a new Cabinet, the perma nent neaas 01 departments nave, as cus tomary, sought to learn what new Ministers they are likely to be required to serve. The Heavy Work Mot for Gladstone. A leading Treasury official told the repre sentative ot the Associated Press he had ob tained an unexpected intimation that Henry Fowler would be Chancellor of the Ex chequer; Sir William Vernon Harcourt First Lord of the Treasury and Government leader in the House ot Commons. This arrangement contains a startling implica tion that Mr. Gladstone will either retire to the House of Lords, or that he will take the lightest part in the Government the Vice Presidency of the Council. Not the slight est inkling ofhisintentionhasasyetreached the chiefs of departments. The Gladstone entourage ridicule the no tion of his accepting a peerage. They, be lieve tbat, despite his growing infirmities of seeing and hearing, he will remain in the House of Commons and fight home rule through before he withdraws from public life. Concerning home rule. Mr. Gladstone, in a recent declaration, said the bill would follow the general lines of the measures of 1883, with some changes that have already been annonced in these dispatches, includ ing the retention of the Irish members in the Imperial Parliament, the employment of the police and military to enforce the payment of all taxes leviable by the Irish Parliament, restricting the powers of the Irish Legislature to interfere with the en dowment of religion or to impose disability or confer privilege on account of religious belief, ana giving further guarantees re garding denominational education. Ireland's Share of the Taxation. The Associated Press has authority to state that he alluded to a revision ot the proposals relating to the arrangements between the Imperial and Irish exchequers and the pro portion of the national debt to be assigned to Ireland. In 1886 this was , calculated as one-fifteenth for Ireland, based upon esti mates of taxation, rateable values, etc. This has been found to be a cross over-estimate. entailing over-taxation of the Irish people. The financial inquiry long engaged Mr. Gladstone's attention, and in it ne was assisted by Mr. Goschen. This Inquiry tends to show that Ireland can only be justi fiably apportioned about one-twenty-second part ot the aeDt, malting a very great differ ence in adjusting the burdens under the new bill. The strain of the Midlothian campaign does not affect the vigor of the Grand Old Man. He has been devoting his leisure time to researches for'the coming Oxford lecture on "Medieval Universities," and has been gleaning much knowledge from Lord Roseberry 's great library at Dalmeny. After the elections Mr. Gladstone will go to Paris for a few days to find rest in searching for materials concerning French medieval universities. If Mr.. John Moriey becomes a Minister he will have to be re-elected. His oppo nents in Newcastle mean to nominate Joseph Cowan to oppose him should he stand. Mr. Cowan is immensely popular, and the Con servatives believe he would be likely to oust Mr. Morley. Judgment without notice to the nartlea in. terested.

Another correspondent says the two En glish girls would not have been maltreated iff they had retained their foreign dress, but they put on Chinese costumes in order to attract less attention, and in this garb the mob had no respect for them.

They have fitted up. at conslderaDlb expense, a Very neat headquarters room in Central armoryi established an officers' school and are taking more Interest tban formerly in their organization. There is stilt room for further improvement. The armories of companies C, at Oakdale, and F, at Eliza beth, are In very poor condition and en tirely unfit for the purpose, and should bo condemned. All the field and staff, with but few exceptions, attended one or more inspections. Of the inspection of Battery B, Major Patterson says: Tbe inspection of this command has always been a pleasure to mo. but never more so than this year. The ''school of the soldier," "school of the company" and con dition of State property were as good as they could well be. Captain Hunt is a live, ener getic officer, and his able lieutenants are soldiers in every sense of the word. They are full of enthusiasm and Interest. I regret very mncA tbat the State cannot furnish this admirable organization with an entire new outfit. The gun carriages and caissons are railing to pieces ana are en tirely nnflt for service. The harness is worn out and unsafe. Tbe whole outfit should be condemned and turned over to the State. I would respectfully recommend that the State furnish, as soon as possible, new can teens. The old ones are rusty and worn out. The troops cannot possibly H9e them longer; also new haversaoks and knapsacks. Many of thosonow In service will hardly hold together longer. The great coats are badly worn and sbonld be replaced with new ones. THE 40,000 IDLE IRON AND STEEL WORKERS. HSr'-' Johnson home ' ihim. CLEVELAND'S HEW 8ECEETABT. A. Young Man Who Beoently Graduated at Dartmouth With Honors. Boston, July 8. Special Robert Lin coln O'Brien, of the Trantcript, has just been appointed private secretary to ex President Cleveland, and will enter at once upon his new position at Gray Gables, Bus zard's Bay. Mr. O'Brien la a native of Ab ington, Mass., and is one of the best-Uked of the younger men in the profession. Ha is about 27 years of age. Alter attending tbe schools in his native town he entered Dartmouth College, Where he remained but a year, preferring -to com plete his education at Harvard. He was graduated at the University in 1891, his name appearing in tbe list of honorable mentions, political economy and history be ing the studies in which he excelled.. THE BE0THEB OVEBCOME. James Itellly Satisfied, bnt Unable to Loose at the Body of tho Suicide. The brother of James Reilly, the prisoner who'commltted suicide in the jail last Sun day, came to the city last night from Brook lyn to take eharge of the body, which had been kept at the morgue. 'The brother was too much overcome to look at it, however, but is satisfied of the Identity. An inquiry came from Chicago yesterday from a woman who thought the dead man might be her husband, but he belongs to Brooklyn. ' Their Youth Saved Them. Samuel Haines, Edward Kehr, Johh Gaggins, Joseph Fanning and Joseph Saoofsky were given a hearing before Alderman Warner last evening ou charges oi malicious mischief and trespass, pre ferred by B. F. May, special othcer for the Pennsylvania Railroad. May alleged that the boys stole coal out of the freight carl. picked old iron and couplings up on the tracks, ransaoked any caboose that they happened to find open, and broke target lamps. The boys pleaded guilty, and on ac count of their youth they were discharged upon paying f3 and costs each. The Comfort or the Soldiers Considered. 1 would also suggest that company com manders be required to see that their men are furnished with good, comfortable woolen and rubber blahkets. Many of the blankets have been in service for the past ten years, and should the Guard be called Into active service during the winter season thev would greatly suffer. Major George O. ltickarrls, of the Six teenth regiment, inspected the Sixteenth of Company E. He says: This Is the nucleus of the best company in the regiment. Personnel and physique superior, but needs training. Captain Boch ert is in no way competent to command, not il having as much as a lair knowledge oftac Ltics. The first lieutenant Is Inefficient. Tho teecond lieutenant with little experience rnaymaaeagoou onicer, tnougn ne ttnuuiu Study. The following is said of Company I: Captain Coon should give tbe company more attention and look more closely to his owi duties. The first lieutenant Is an earnest ottifer, but should familiarize blmseir with his duties, use his own Judgment Instead of relying upon others. Tbe second lieutenant was aSsent, I understand, through intimida tion, 1e having been notified by an officer of his company that his appearance at the armory meaht personal violenoe to him. xnis company neeus instruction, ino eaulpments were very good, but the arms were In a deplorable condition. Too Moch Purely Fancy Drilling; The following are some of the general matters contained in the report: Too much time is wasted in fancy drilling. If more attention were given to the ecliools of tbe soldier I and comnanV (especially in the latter, tactical loading and firing), sklr mlsh drill and sentinel duty, it would add greatly to tbe efficiency of tbe brigade. Tbe elotbing of the several commands is kept in good condition, being renewed by the com pany commanders from time to time as re quited. I would again call attention to the laok of uniformity In the neckwear. Were the State to adopt either a regulation collar or woollen shirt the military appearance of many of the commands would be very mnch improved. Uniformity is the only guaran tee of neatness in thin particular.! Since my last report the numberof strained bayonets has incrpanod owing to stacks falling on slippery floors. The evil, how ever, will be done awujr with in the future, as the new drill regulations require the staobing habitually with the swivel. As the new drill regulations liavo been adopted and Instruction has been begun, I do not think it necessary to report upon the tactial errors observed in tbe inspection.
