"Bay.footi foot .,

Many boys ana girls may have heard
these words applied in q derisive way to
raw recruits who were making begin
ming in their military education by
learning to march; but very few young
people-or old ones, either-know how
the terms originated.
During the war of 1912, there was
great deal of drilling and training
among the militia-men all over the
country, especially in the larger cities
and towns, where the principal recruit
ing stations were situated. In New
York City, much of the drilling of new
Iy enlisted men was done in what is now
City Hall Park, in front of tavern
which stood where the San newspaper
building is located. Many of these
would-6e soldiers were from the coun-
try, and these, of course, knew nothing
at all about marching in military fash
ion. They could walk far enough, some
of them, and work as hard and bear as
much fatigue as any soldier in regular
army; but they walked as they pleased,
and had no ideas about such things as
"keeping step." 1t is even said that
there were fellows among them who did
not know their right foot from their left,
anu WuO WcIc tuCiclOiC CoheihuaiAy SOs
ting themselves and their companions
into disorder by mixing up their legs
that is, moving out their right leg when
the officer who was drilling them called
out &" Left, :" and the other leg when he
called out I" Right" If they could have
put both legs forward at once, it is prob
able that they would sometimes have
done so.
To make these men understand ex-
actly which leg was meant when the Of
ficer gave his orders, q curious plan was
devised. Around the right leg of each
man, Just below the knee, was tied a
wisp of hay. while wisp of straw was
tied around his left leg. Now, these
country fellows knew very we'll the diff
ference between hay and straw, and so,
when they were ranged in line and the
officer gave the word to march, and
called out, Hay-foot! straw-foot! hay
foot! straw-foot," each one of them un-
derstood exactly which was the foot he
must put forward.
1t sometimes happened, however, that
a man would be so busy observing his
companions-and perhaps making fun,
at the same time, of their attempts to
walk like soldiers-that he would forget
his own business, and put forward his
ss straw-foot," when "hay-foot" was
called for.

A Bad Man Turned Loose.

A Virginia gentleman, just up from
San Francisco, confided some his ex-
periences to a Chronicle reporter yester-
DAY. While at the Bay he stopped at
the Palace Hotel and made q practice
of dropping into the bar-room of that
establishment of an evening, it being q
retired and rather high-toned place,
On Wednesday evening last the Com.
stocker lounged into the bar-room and
was pleased to behold there as the only
occupants Senator Sharon, Seth Cook,
Tom Sunderland and few other his
toric capitalists, sitting at large round
table, in the center of which stood sundry
bottles bearing the mystical word
Roederer." Presently a middle-aged
man, soberly dressed in black broad
cloth, and wearing plug hat, stagger'
ed in from the hallway, and lurchine
up to the bar, yelled for every body to
come up and have something to drink

Weston the Winner.

The dark cloud that has so long hung
over the professional career of Edward
Payson Weston, the pedestrian, has at
last rolled away, and once more he
stands under the bright sunlight of pub
lie appreciation. Thirteen years ago,
when he undertook the task of walking
from Portland, Me-, to Chicago, and
accomplished the feat, he was the hero
of the times. Since then he has engag-
ed in many pedestrian contests, and
gradually fallen behind the newer can
didates for public favor in this particu-
lar line of sports, until, finally, his name
was by-word with sporting men, and
he himself the laughing stock of Ameri-
ca. Whether in Chicago, New York,
London, or other great cities where
Weston has entered in walking matches
during the past few years, he has suf-
fered defeat, and when it was made
public that he was to contest, with sew
eral noted pedestrians, the match which
ended in London yesterday, there was a
great deal of amusement manifested
amongst sporting men, and the general
belief as to his chances of success was
manifested in the tremendous odds Of
fered against him, which very few were
courageous enough to accept. But
Weston has redeemed himself, his
record, and the pedestrian interests of
his country. He has accomplished an
unprecedented task, and to-day stands
on the very pinnacle of pedestrian fame.
Covering a distance of $50 miles in six
days, he has beaten the former record
of Brown, the only competitor who held
out against him to the end in the con-
test, and accomplished what no other
pedestrian has, and demonstrated more
fully and forcibly than heretofore the
remarkable ''staying" qualities which
he was known to possess. The United
States have won glory enough in the
sporting world for one season. With
the unparalleled performances of Parole
on the turf, and The wonderful achieve
ment of Weston, the Englishmen have
beyond doubt lost enough prestige and
money to satisfy their ambitions in these
directions, and, more than all, con
vinced themselves that there is no use
contesting against American bipeds or
quadrupeds. Chicago Tribune.

LONDON, June 70.--An official ac-
count says: The Prince, with Lieut.. Carey
of the Ninety eighth Regiment, six men and
one friendly Zulu, left the camp at Kelitze
Mountain, seven miles beyond Blood River,
on the st inst, for q reconnaissance. The
party halted and unsaddled when 10 miles
from the camp. just as the Prince gave the
order to remount u volley was fired from the
ambush in the long grass. Lieut.. Carey
and four of the troopers returned to the
camp and reported that the Prince and two
troopers were missing. From their state
ments there could be no doubt the Prince
was killed. At daybreak cavalry patrol
under General Marshall left to search
for the p-irce sd .-ent 70 the krsals

covered among the long grass 800 yards
from Jhe kraai. There was no bullet wound,

taken, but round his neck was 4 chain with

1t is said that the suite of the Ger
man Empress (who is no friend of Bis
marck) during their recent stay in Eng
land made unpleasant remarks about the
great Chancellor. They described him
as declining in reputation and rapidly
decaying in physique. Corpulence is
rendering his huge form more unwieldy
than ever; puffy and unhealthy us the
look of his flesh; no Kissingeu can avail
against that enormous appetite, which
consumes largely of every thing, but
especially of bread, and cheese, and
beer.

PARIS, June 20.-Intelligence of the
death of the Prince Imperial was read here
with general incredulity, and some of the
early editions of the papers published the
rumor with scofiing illusions as to its i'm
probability. Subsequent dispatches ds-
PEELED the delusiOn. The effect produced by
the news was deep and widespread. Even
radical republir ans expressed sorrow at the
death of the Prince. The agitation of the
Imperialists and Bonapartists was intense.
The question as to the succession to the
claims possessed by the young Prince is now
generally discussed: II the provisions
serted by Napoleon Ill. for the transmission
of the hereditary right to the imperial crown
are preserved, the succession will fall on
Prince jerome, second cousin of the Prince,
but it is impossible, in the opinion of the
Imperial party, to unite that body in iiny
movement in favor of Prince jerome.

1t is reported that Price & Co., the con-
tractors for the Mississippi River fast-mai
service, having been unable to secure ths
necessary subscriptions to build the boat'
required, have notified the Department Of
their intention to abandon the project.
Senator Bayard, Chairman of the Finance
Committee, rendered his resignation Of the
craftsmanship on account of the friends Of
the Warner Silver bill having endeavored tc
take the bill out of the hands OF the Com
mittee, which refused to report it, and
place it before the Senate for passage. A
number of caucuses were held for the pur-
pose of bringing about a reconciliation, but
Mr.. Bayard. stood firm and the Silver men
stood equally firm, Senators Garland, Coke
and othersi insisting that Mr.. Bayard's
resignation should be accepted and the bill
brought before the Senate. Finally,
through the efforts principally Of Senators
Thurman and Gordon, it was tacitly agreed
to drop the matter for the sake Of harmony
in the party, and the bill will therefore rest
with the Finance Committee until next
winter, when it is understood the commit
tee will be so remodeled as to give the Sill
yer men a majority.
1t is understood that the Senate Judiciary
Committee, will not report at present in IA
vor OF the confirmation Of Mr.. McCrary as

until September, and Mr.. McCrary not bav-
ing resigned his place in the Cabinet.

making appointments in advance of q, tual
vacancy in office, the President has with.
drawn the nomination of Mr.. McCrary for
Judge Of the Eighth Judicial District.
The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections have asked and received authori-
ty for subcommittee to visit Kansas dur
ing the recess to investigate the charges

ton, finally assented to this course, on &C.
count of the circulation by the opponents OF
Mr.. ingalls, Of statements that they were in
fiuenced by improper motives in sustaining
him.
A caucus of Democratic Senators was
held on the evening OF the 23d, to decide
upon line of policy regarding the Presi-

agreed upon, but majority of the Senator:

further effort to provide the necessary ap-
preparations by amending the vetoed bill
The Democrats in the House, on the contra.
ry, favored the passage of the identical bill
vetoed and then adjourning sine die.
The President has approved the Army
