Tactical Excellence to Count for More Than Gorgeous Uniforms-The Rifle Shooting Contest. Special to the Globe. Washington,. May 27.— The Amer ica's Cadet band, conducted by Private Colladay of the National Rifles, visited the treasury and war department to-day and serenaded Secretary Fairchild and Gen Sheridan. They afterwards called on Postmaster General Vilas who com plimented them in a neat and interest ing speech. At the request of Mr. Coll aday, the postmaster general sat down and wrote for them the following auto graph letter: MM. "Oftice or the . Postmaster General. Washington, D. C: The America's Cadet band, of Milwaukee. Wis., and Prof. Frank Ileusler: Will you please accept the thanks . of the postmaster general and officials of the ]>ostoffice department for the high compli ment and pleasure given by your call and serenade. Thanks are rendered with pecu liar pride and emotion. Wm. F. Vilas. The bright little boys played in the room of the postmaster general and again out on the street. Mr. Vilas came down outside to listen. The chief clerk of the postoffice department, Mr. Ray, then took them all to the Dairy lunch room near-by, and feasted the entire band. Then Colladay took them into the Corcoran art gallery and they played in the grand gallery. They are the pets of the camp and of the city. The rifle shooting at the 500 and (500-yard ranges began at 9 this morning. Chantler, of the First Minnesota, who is tenth on the list, made the best . score. 43, at the 000 --yard range, and would undoubtedly have held a better position but for ah unfortunate accident yesterday, when he tired at the wrong target. As a rule the scores were very good. To-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock there will be a team match at the 200 and 800-yard ranges. The teams are to be composed of officers of the regulars and militia. .Chantler will enter, as he says, merely to show them what he can do under fav orable circumstances. PRIVATE FALK WINS A PRIZE, being sixth on the list of winners. Lieut. S. S/Pague, U. S. A., called this after noon and gave Cants. Bean and Amory several copies of his book on tactics for national guardsmen. In his opinion Company 1) will win first prize because they are tactical and not fancy. Cue who is in the confidence of the judges says ("apt. Bean's men stand one hun dred to one to win. Capt, Bean person ally remarks: "We feel just as we did When we came, and our confidence is increased by seeing the others.and unless there is some unforseen accident we will win the first prize. Our uniforms are regulation and the judges will be prejudiced in our favor from the start, on that account alone. One of the reg ular army lieutenants says the marking will lie 'tactical 1 , and that is what we E "crave.-. If "* this is the case," it is certain my company will win." Col' Blakely kept time for the companies on the drill ground to day. He says: "There lias not been a single company on the ground that ex cels the average drill of Capt. Bean's boys. The Lomax rifles put up $300 in the pool room that Bean will not be as high as themselves in the marking on competition. The, money has all been covered by Minnesota men. ' The pro prietors of the pool rooms are betting on D company." One of them says: "I have nearly £10,000 deposited on 1) com pany for -first prize." C. 11. Smith. J. Lynch and W. 11. Hart have returned from New York. Lieut. Ahem com manded the individual drill this after noon. Col. Lawson, of Fort Snelling, is still here on sick leave. He wants to be retired, and probably will be soon. The •laughter of Hon. W. P. Clark, of St. Cloud, is at Mt. Vernon on a visit. GOV. MVULL AND STAFF, accompanied by Judge Crow-ell. visited Arlington Heights, the cemetery, Ft. Mye'r, Georgetown Heights and the suburbs of the city, returning through Connecticut avenue and the principal . streets, seeing the, residences of notable men and taking especial interest in the celebrated Windom mansion. In the evening all called socially upon friends and met other distinguished persons. The governor, says: "I expect Capt. Bean* to" win' first prize, and shall be -present to-morrow with the staff to witness the drill. 1 have just seen Bean, and lie is very confident. The only fear I have is "that there may be overconfidence. but. Bean is an old soldier, and will be careful. I am un able to remain until the prizes are dis tributed Monday, and must leave for home to-morrow evening.'' -Every "Mm"* nesotian in.the city will be on the drill ground to see the competition. Gen. Seely says: "Others are here on a picnic, but the Minnesota men are in camp .under military dis cipline. The others disobey orders fail to report properly for duty, and are on the streets too much, but the Minne sota men are in camp like soldiers. I have only seen two men of Company A on the street and not one of the 1) men. Col. Bobleter has issued orders for his battalion and been disobeyed by others. There seems to be no authority to compel obedience. The Minnesota men need no compulsion and are highly complimented for soldierly quali ties by all." . . ......... The Star makes the following statement: There is not much prospect that there will be a very large representation from the troops of Camp Washington in the Decora tiod Day parade Monday, although camp will not be broken until Monday. Many of the commands will leave before that day. The Virginia troops will leave for home Saturday night, and it is probable that the Kentucky troops will leave- Sunday.' The other organ izations, it is thought, will leave before Mon day or be so engaged in 'preparations to leave that it will be inconvenient for them to take part in the procession. One of the staff offi cers, speaking to a Star reporter to-day. said that most of the soldiers were men who could not spare more than a week from their employment*, and they were obliged to get back to their homes next Monday. Gen. Ord way said to-day: "We do not order tne troops to parade that day. They are simply invited. You see they have been worked hard while here, and it is very doubtful whether very many of them would feel like going out on parade, but the Minnesota troops will parade and assist in decorating.'' The camps of the Rhode Island, Irish-Amer ican battalion and of the Virginia bri gade are separated only by a roadway. last night there came near being A RESUMPTION' OF 'HOSTILITIES between the North and South. A mem be. of the Rhode Island battalion at tempted to cross the Virginia line and got into an altercation with a guard and was quite badly handled. Subsequently some of the Rhode Islanders, intent ap parent on avenging the wrongs of their comrade, made a demonstration on the Virginia camp, but were repulsed with out loss on either side. There was a lively time along the line until early in the morning, but no casualties were re ported. About a score of Minnesota men acted as peacemakers and separated tin? hot bloods, thus pre venting the only possible dis graceful scene of tlie camp thus far. The Minnesota boys have been in camp for a week and have won daily encomi ums from fellow-soldiers, officers of other commands and visitors generally. They have presented a most soldierly appearance, and their conduct outside, as well as inside camp has been in every sense praiseworthy. Every man in ' the ranks lias echoed the sentiment of Lieut. Ames, namely. that the. honor and credit of the state, as well as the reputation of the cities, must be upheld by the citizen soldiery. Besides, as (.'apt. Amory says: "Our cities have been kind and consid erate in all matters which interest the companies, and so long as we deserve their respect we will, have their support and encouragement.'" Remarking upon the same subject Capt. Bean said: "You must have noticed that our boys are v niVAi.s, niyr. friends. f: :-»: ;,'.' They always remember that they are in cam}) under military orders. Not one of the men of either' Minnesota com panies ever passes an officer, no matter, what his rank, nor what command -he belongs to, without giving him a mill-, tary salute. This afternoon, one of the' privates of Company A passed a colored officer of a Virginia, company* and j saluted him promptly and in soldier-like I manner. You may have seen some of , the men down town on leave, too. but I you have never seen one of them with his coat unbuttoned; no matter how hot j the weather. Of course \1 \ wouldn't \ speak invidiously of any particular company or individual, ■■ but 1 will say that the members of these two compan- I ies are the only soldiers in this camp who always remember the little civili ties and courtesies mentioned." Inquiry I of Lieuts. Metz and Taylor elicited the. ■ fact that not one of the' Minnesota men j has been in the guard house for. any, j offense whatever. Others . ■ have. . been less fortunate. The boys from i other | places have dallied with the wine when.' j it was red in the cup, and it bit them i and out-witted them, and tangled their | legs and tongues, while it. rattled their ; brains. The cities as well as the entire ! state will be proud of the boys, as well I about these little things as about. their drill standing. The boys have stamped themselves gentlemen and are bearing and wearing the title nobly and truly; Re ferring to the published "statement that his company was too far away from 'the grand stand to be seen and applauded capt. amohy SAYS: "My company came here to win a prize if possible, and not to win ap plause. when we want to hear cheer ing and clapping of hands, we do not need to travel so far to receive that meed. The people at home most gen erously applaud all of. our efforts. So, when 1 took my company' into tlie drill ground for competitive - ; drill. ; I. did it with the intention of .. showing the judges our best efforts. I put my men through the manual and the necessary manoeuvres on the best ground in the enclosure. 1 considered the credit of my company and the home- people rather than the evanescent crowd on the stand which might .as likely deride an error, and -, discour age as applaud ii ' successful ef fort. In fact, the crowd was not con sidered at all. The judges were non committal, of course, but I saw plainly' that they were pleased with us. The only thing that was not satisfactory either to myself or to my men was the firing by volleys with blank cartridges. That is something we : are s not accus tomed to do. We have usually gone through the drill without: cartridges. That, I believe, lias usually been cus tomary at competitive drills. . When we were ordered to fire volleys with ..blank cartridges it annoyed me a little, butT knew that the men would do it credit ably, and they did. ."But, inasmuch as we had never practiced that way, we did not of course do as well as other companies have done, who have been trained to that duty: ' Ido not ex pect, and did not expect when \ I -came,' that our boys would take the first prize. But I did expect and I now . expect that: we will not be left entirely. . We; are simply determined to make a good record for ourselves in the field and in the city, and our people will be satisfied with us if we do our best. We are com peting with crack companies, old prize winners, and do not expect to do. the. greatest things on the ground ; hence we nave been modest in our claims t and ex pectations. But I want 'it. thoroughly understood that in choosing the ground whicli I did for our competitive drill I made no mistake. The people on the grand stand may have been disap pointed, but we are not here so much to please them as to please our home folks by doing our best in camp."... . ',; .* ..-.;■. ;•- Between half past 2 and 4 o'clock a :: COMPETITIVE 11ATTALION DRlLL''' '*"•' took place, in which the Rhode? Island, the Louisville legion and the Washing- > ton light infantry, ninety-six men each," participated. The practice throughout; was pronounced good by .< competent judges and opinions are about equally divided as to the respective , merits of the three organizations. ' Following the drill of the Louisville .v men t. their i drum corps performed an i interlude ■ of a novel character— a oi silent drill. By far the - most • ' enter taining feature of the day's pa geantry was the individual competitive .drill— conducted on the country spelling match principle— which came, next after the battalion competition. : The sixty competitors were selected, men, .two from each company. At the very outset the line was broken by the judges who retired eight men for a failure to place their pieces against their toes, at "order arms."' The drill was exceedingly se vere. Four keen-eyed army officers were on the look out " for errors. Traps, and pit falls were set for the unwary, and orders came thicker and more' ab ruptly as the work went' on. The ex citement rose to fever -heat when only four men were left standing, to three of whom the prizes must fall. A Belknap riflemen was the first of these to go down, and the final struggle then lay: between a San Antonio rifleman, ■ a Washington Light infantryman. and. a sergeant of the Louisville legion.. Tlie eyes of the judges detected petty mis takes on the part of the two latter, anil they directed the handsome, well-built Texan to step forward as the - .. .li/; WINNER OF THE FIRST PRIZE. The contest between the remaining two resulted in giving the "second prize to the Washingtonian and. the third to the Louisville man. The victors are; Private 11. G. Staacks, San. Antonio rifles; Charles T. Conrad, Company 8., . Washington Light infantry, and Sergt. J. R. Waggner, Company A., Louis ville legion. The Milwaukee Light battery ■ rgave a fine exhibition. The Virginia brigade followed with a gorgeous dress parade. ~ The " Lomax rifles and the Toledo cadets successively gave exhibition drills. The ; Lomax rifles were command during a portion of their work by Miss Mary C. Vass, of Mobile, the company's sponser, a young lady of .queenly form, with a face of the noblest type of Southern beauty. The conductor theVicksburg Southerners and the Memphis Zouaves in dropping out of the procession on Wednesday- is a frequent subject of discussion at Camp Washington, and to-day the. "i Chicago Zouaves and the Keck Zouaves • joined in a protest to the judges.of the drill against the consideration of the drill of THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY IVfIORNING, MAY 28, 1887.— TWELVE PAGES. the Memphis men because of their ac tion in that affair. The protest has been referred to the captain of ' the Memphis company for an explanation. THE DAY'S PROGRAMME: Washington, May 87. The weather was fair and cool, a westerly breeze prevailing, and the turf of the drill ground was in the best possible condi tion. An ominous bank of clouds upon the western horizon threatened possible, disaster later in the day, and this fact: served to limit the gathering of specta tors to smaller numbers than yesterday. The following were the Infantry corps assigned to competive drill to-day: In dianapolis Light infantry, Alexandria (Va.) Light infantry, Jackson Rifles, Jackson, Mich. Molineaux rifles, Com pany Thirty-second, New York: Bel knap Rifles, San Antonio, Tex.; San Antonio (Tex.) Rifles, Lomax Rifles, Mobile, Ala.; Sheridan Guards* Man chester, N. 11. The Eldora (Io.) band furnished the music. The In dianapolis company came to the front <■ at the stroke of 10 o'clock. Their march ing and work in the manual were very good. One or two blunders on the part of individual members were noted, and one of their volleys was decidedly rat tling, but the popular verdict upon their performance was. "decidedly above the average." The Alexandria boys exhibited abundant zeal and occa sionally merited the plaudits of their friends in the stand. Their volley firing was exceedingly good. The Jackson Rifles came to the front at 11 o'clock TIIEIK HEST WOKK Mas in the manual at arms. Their movements in company front were quite defective. One or two unfortunates in the ranks made conspicuous blunders and have probably impaired a record ; which might otherwise have been some what above the average. The Molin eaux rifles were business looking fel lows. It is difficult to specify either the -excellences or the defects of their per formance. As a whole it was not above the average. The performance of the Belknap rifles was excellent, and their work in the manual of arms superb. Their volley firing was superior to any thing yet seen. During the drill the exercise of the gatling gun squad was in progress and inspection and drill , were going on in a distant part of the ground. Though public attention was chiefly absorbed by the competing com panies in the front the evolutions of the others added to the interest, the whole making a ; charming military picture. The San Antonio rifles acquitted them selves with credit. The Lomax rifles of Mobile came with a record of many victories in the field of competi tion, and much was expected of them. The public were not disappointed, and the popular verdict accords them a place beside the foremost of their predeces sors. The Manchester company was the last on the list for to-day's competi tion. It made a good general result without conspicuous excellence or merits. The competitive RIFLE PRACTICE was completed this morning with firing at the 500 and 000 yard ranges. There were original entries from twenty two states, thirty-eight competi tors qualified at the snort ranges and thirty completed full scores. The prizes are a gold medal and WOO to the first, silver medal and ?75 each to the three next best, and bronze medals and 950 each to the four next best. The highest possible total score was 200 and the highest possible score at each range fifty.

'.Maj. Runltle Wins in the Supreme i '•'.; : Court. ,( ; Washington, May 27.— the su preme court the following decision was .'entered to-day : . "N os. 259 and 269, Benjamin Ruiikle against the United States and the United States against li tinkle. Appeals from the court of claims. The controversy in the case relates to the pay of Maj.'P. B. Runkle, a retired army officer, who was tried by a court martial .June 25, 1870, found guilty and dismissed from the service for violation of the act of congress of March 2, 1863, and for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, but who was after ward, by order of President Hayes, dated Aug. 4, 1878, restored to the ser vice. The court of claims found as con clusions of law on the facts of the case that the claimant was not entitled to longevity p.?y and that the United States is not entitled under the claim to re cover the pay received by the claimant as a retired major, which accrued after Aug. 4, 1878, amounting to 11,439. . From the judgment in accordance with these conclusions both parties appealed. As the sentence of the court martial in volved the dismissal of Runkle from the army, it could not have become opera tive until approved by the president after the whole proceedings of the court martial had been laid before him. The most important question in the case, therefore, is whether that approval lias been positively shown. If tlie sentence in dismissing Runkle from the serv ice was not approved by President Grant, and if, as it positively appears, it was afterward disapproved by Presi dent Hayes. Runkle was never legally but of tlie service. This court holds, in a long opinion by Chief Justice Watte reviewing all the papers and proceed ings in the case, that it does not posi tively and distinctly appear that the proceedings of the court martial have ever, -in fact, been approved -or con firmed by the president of the United States, as the . articles of war requite, before the sentence could be carried into execution, and that consequently Maj. Rankle was never legally cash iered or dismissed from the army and is entitled to his longevity pay as" well as that which he has already received for his regular pay. A MAIDEN FOULLY SLAIN.

The opinion consist ed simply in a statement of facts which, upon all material points, were admitted both parties. The facts thus set forth were that; Pierce 'n seized the car load of beer Feb. 17 upon. the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific railway .track, and while it was in the custody,. of the officials of that road: that he' seized the beer with out a warrant, and it was not until about a half hour afterwards that he did* obtain a warrant. On that point Judge Love held, Judge Shiras concurring in,' the opinion, that lie acted without au thority, and in seizing the goods from a railway custody of the United States ' court committed an act of contempt. An order was entered directing Pierce to be incarcerated in jail until the. beer is re turned. The attorneys for Frank Pierce claim that he cannot"" turn the goodp over, as they are in, ; the custody of the state district court, and that an injunc tion will -be issued to restrain the opera tion of the federal court decree.

Mankato, Minn., May 27.— the Krolik case the entire forenpon was de voted to the cross-examination of Krolik. He went through it in good shape, creat ing a decided feeling in his favor by his straightforward and positive testimony. A number of other witnesses were ex amined, and several depositions read this afternoon, lt appears from the depositions of John Daggett (one of the first men on the scene), that the gas fix tures were in -their proper position when the fire.. was -discovered. • This knocks out about the only point left the prosecution. From the testimony of Mr. Holbrook it seems that even before an entrance into the . store had been effected a man on the street . cried out that the Jew had set his store on fire to get the insurance. This was taken up by the crowd, and Mr. Krolik was at once arrested. The- report has. un doubtedly, worked him a great injust ice, as his stock and fixtures were proven. to have been worth nearly twice the amount of the insurance. To-mor row morning the lawyers will plead, W. W.
