FROM THE BELKNApS.
What Our Special Reporter Says of
the Drill and Their Treat


ment,
The following newsy letter has been re-
ce.ved by the LIGHT from friend who went
10 Galveston with the Belsnap Rifles and has
kindly acted as our special CORE. pondent.
Had pleasant trip over the s. \. y. exc pit
that our reclining char car was taken II ON
US at Wallis, to accommodate the ladies. and
of course we did not object. Did not reach
camp until about 2 a. m, much :atigued with
waiting. Found our quartCrmasler ana com
missary had camp all arranged and nXed
ready for US, Thanks TO them. Camp is stu
ated, it seems, about miles iron town city
they cal il here) and they charge 20 cents
round trip: we don't go to town of, n. Uncle
Sd MS oops present fine appearance, and
We're IL not tor their rescnce the drili part OF
the ce e5raIOn wouid almost be faiu e.
The number OF militia do not near come up 10
e Spectations Of tie management Do not
like to run anythi : down, but II is an awful
ly uninterestii.s drill General Opp' n
heimers officers have treated us very nicely
indeed, but the seaiy Rifles have been very
discourteous, very different from what they
used to be. They have filed protest against
us. to try TO keep ~ from drill ing, on the
grounds that we w"re allowed to postpone
our inspection. VII IL they were not. We
treat the prof.. with contempt, and the
commanding officers assure us to have no
fears whatever, that they are running this
encampment, and not the Sealys. Many San
Antonio people have visited US, among them
MIR. H. d. Kampmann, Mr.: E. Graves. A. }. Fry,
Misses Caro- simpson, Bella Belknap and Miss
Garlick, Daisy Gibbs and Miss Dashtell. The
ladies all took supper with US last night, and
say we have the best cuisine and mess hall in
camp We received our new streamers, now
have six and keep them flying ali the time;
The Nave ricks put up very smooth drill
and l think stand very well in the
score. The Houston Light Guards drilled
Friday to large crowd. When they
came on the field we gave them
the Belk nap cheer, to which they responded.
Our boys are all here now and think we can
put up a fair drill Are all hard at work
cleaning guns and accoutrements for lnspec-
ton, which will be tomorrow, We expect to
drill in the evening tomorrow, but they now
say they intend to hold US until Tuesday, as
an extra attraction (?. This will disappoint
many of us. who expected to be home and go
to work by Tuesday, but hope the boys en-
ployers will excuse them, in the interest OF
San Antonio, whose name we shall and must
uphold against all odds. 1t is hot. hotter, hot
t. st: not tree within Ave miles. Our boys
enjoy the surf bathing very much. They go
nearly every night, but the beach is so near
that they do not wear the regulation bathing
suit. Yours, GALVESTON.

Injured In Camp.

Master Sam Maverick, son OF or
open-hearted banker, while in Gal
weston with his company, the Nav
ericks, had one of his toes broken
while skylarking in camp the other
night. 1t happened this way: Emil
Blum, not a member Of the company,
but one of it's warmest friends and
supporters, was with them in camp,
as he wore their uniform, and as the
boys wanted to get Off as much as
possible, they made him do guard du-
ty for three nights. Emil got sleepy
and went on "strike" to his tent,
where the boys reused him him by
pulling him out by the heels. Emil
chased them and in running through
camp, young Sam stumbled over q
tent-peg and broke his toe.

The House Refuses 20 Grant Money to the
Widow of Chief Justice Waite
Utah's Chances for Statehood

Widow of Chief Justice Waite
Utnh's Chances for Statehood
Quay for Projection.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-In the House
to-day the Senate amendment appropriate
ing years salary to the widow of the late
Chief Justice Waite coming up, Mr.. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, moved that the House re-
cede from its disagreement. He referred
to the fact that the late Chief
Justice had abandoned practice worth
twice his salary to accept his office and
had left only small house to his widow
and daughter. Mr.. Randall and Mr.. Can
non opposed the Senate amendment be-
cause itestablished dangerous precedent,
and would lead to like payments OF un-
earned money to the widows of all OF the
justices and the judges.
Mr.. White, of New York, said that the
American people was the most niggardly on
the face of the globe If Mr.. Waite had
presided in England he would have had a
salary of 100000. By refusing to retire
when he could he had saved the nation
S21, 900. The committee mistook the
good sense and good heart of the people.
Mr. Butterworth also thought that the late
Chief Justice, who died in harness, had
been under paid. The precedent was not
dangerous, because like circumstances
might not arise for century.
Mr.. Grosvenor pointed to the pitiful spec
tacle of widow of Chief Justice being
turned out of his home within year after
his death in order that she might use its
rent to buy bread.
Mr.. Ryan, of Kansas, opposed the amend
ment, saying that this class of legislation
was alarming, and should be checked.
The motion to recede and accept the
amendment was lost, and the bill was sent
to conference.

THRIFTY CONGRESSMEN

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The demand
for seats in the Senate chamber, and on the
platform during the Inauguration eers-
monies Monday, has been so great
that Colonel Canaday, the sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate, has been driven
almost to distraction by the incessant i'm
portunities for these desired pasteboards.
There are but ], 1,5O7 issued, including the
tickets for the press, and so great is the de-
mand that certain members of the House,
inclined to thrift, are disposing of their
tickets at the rate Of S25 EACH One gentle
man bought six at this figure from House

LONDON, March 2.-The big event on
the continent is the attack of the Govern
ment in Paris, on Deroulede and his So
called Patriotic League. It-is a pleasing
thing for those who admire France and are
glad when she shows commonsense. Derou-
lede is ridiculously vain man, gifted with
an imagination and writer's ability,
which he has devoted to the production of
stirring war songs which have been learned
by every French boy in school. Trading on
the patriotic feelings with which his name
is associated, he has been able to enroll the
quarter of a million guileless French in a
league. This league he calls patriotic,
while he has been using it to hurt the Gov
ernment and help on the dangerous adven-
turer, Boulanger. The Government, seeing
an opportunity, have started in to suppress
Deroulede and his Boulangist league, and
President Carnot and NJ. Freycinet are to
be congratulated.
twill be a great pity if Deroulede and
his unpatriotic followers are not sentenced
to a term of reflection. and confinement,
though it is hardly to be hoped for 1t is
also permissible to hope that in his little
game of turning over the Republican min
istries, Boulanger may cause some man to
rise to the top who will develop the ability
to end his career. The man who ends Bou-
langer's nonsense, if necessary by means of
shortening him by a head, will make a
great hit. Frenchmen like that kind of
thing. 1t impresses them, and they would
not make very much fuss for fear of hurting
the exhibition. There is fine opening for
a small French edition of Cromwell.

WASHINGTON, March "A large num-
Der Of Philadelphia and Eastern manu-
tacturers are here and are making their
headquarters at the Manufacturer Club,

ception is going on this evening. The

ton brought in the President of the club,
who had been kept unadvised of this par
ticular meeting. The gentleman is Edwin
Stewart, and he is Marshal of the Pennsyl-
vania brigade in the civic division of the
inaugural procession. In honor of this ap-
pointment the club presented him with an
elegant gold-mounted baton
Lewis E. Beittler made the presentation
speech in particularly happy vein, ex-
posing the popularity of the blushing
Stewart by telling the assemblage that that
gentleman had the unexampled honor in
Philadelphia of unanimous nomination to
Councils and is mentioned for the Mayor
atty of the city. Mr.. Stewart, who was
taken by surprise, made a, happy reply,
and when he pointed with pride to Quay,
Beaver and Wanamaker. whom he greatly
extolled, his remarks were heartily ap-
pfauded.
Calls for General Beaver produced a
speech from the gallant Governor of the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania that set
his hearers to putting in punctuation marks
of applause at the proper places, and when
he had finished paying compliments to the
club and its President, he led in the clubs
campaign cry which is the name of the or
ganization spelled letter by letter, winding
up with hearty "Fizz! Boom! RahI'

morning.

of workmen, but every night small meet
ings are held throughout Berlin, at which
views on the labor question are excitedlv
exchanged. The North German Gazette
says the Government will not interfere in
the struggle between labor and capital as
long as the Socialists do not attempt to
assume the direction of the labor move
ment.
The supplementary estimates about to be
submitted to the Reichstag provide for an
outlay Of p ,8S2, $40 marks, a large portion
of which goes to strengthen the artillery,
Of this total 9, 390, ,266 marks will be raised
by matricular assessments and 1925, ,O54
marks by an imperial loan. Each corps OF
field artillery will henceforth consist in
time of peace of seven detachments, each
with six fully horsed guns, and portion
also equipped with ammunition wagons
with teams.
MONEY ASKED FOR.
A central board to be, created for the
navy is to have control of the vessels and
men, while the administration of the naval
will be under the imperial chancellor. The
other estimates include p, 900 marks for the
Emperor's palace at Strasburg, 100000
marks for the carrying out of measures
against the slave trade, and 100000 marks
for the erection of a monument to the late
Emperor William.
The Government has resolved not to alter
the system under which banks issue private
notes, the banks throughout Germany re-
tanning the right to issue such notes. Sew
eral banks have united to increase their
capital in order to establish better proper
tion between their capital and note circula-
tion.

All of the Institutions There Seem to Be
Managed Very Loosely.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.1
INDIANAPOLIS, March 2.-The Legisla-
tive Committee engaged in investigating
the management of the Indiana Insane Hos
pital to-day discovered three checks
bearing the date of March 8, 1888,
and all numbered 129, which show
how $500 of the States money
was stolen. They are each made payable
to W. G. Wasson, one for the sum of
$500 and another for S3.40O, max
ing $500, and another for $500.
The checks bore the cancellation stamp of
the Merchants National Bank. The
cashier of the bank, A. f. Kopp, declared
the cancellation of the check for So, 900 was
fraudulent
1t was also shown by the books of the
State Auditor and the bank that P. M.
Gapen, the Treasurer of the Hospital
Board, had drawn from the State during
the same month $4,000 more than he had
deposited in bank. The discoveries were
reported to the Attorney General, and he
was directed to at once prepare papers for
the arrest of Gapen on the charge of forgery,
but it is reported that warrant will not be
served on him before Monday.
A few days ago Gapen admitted on the
witness stand that John E. Sullivan, the
absconding County Clerk, had been loaned
$4,000 of the hospital funds, and did not
pay the money back. Gapen was employed
by Sullivan as confidential clerk.

Loss of Property in Collision on the Bal

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WHEELING, March 2.-Last nights col
lision on the Baltimore and Ohio, at the
Moundsville Narrows, was one of the most
disastrous wrecks occurring near this city.
The loss to the company will not fall short
of $4,000, and will likely considerably ex-
ceed that figure. The passenger train, No.
4, eastbound from this city, fortunately had
few passengers, else the loss of life would
have been heavy The half dozen people
in the cars were tossed violently from their
seats, and three passenger coaches were
splintered and broken.
The westbound freight, seems, however,
to have suffered much more severely. A
dozen cars were totally wrecked, and two of
them hurled over the steep bluff, almost per-
pendicular in its nature, down upon the
track of the Ohio River road, 80 feet below.
Both engines were totally wrecked, being
reared up on end and firmly interlocked.
The engineers and iremen only saved their
lives by jumping. 1t is a miracle that the
passenger coaches did not go over the bluff
to the Ohio River track. The road was not
clear until late to-day.

Interstate Commerce.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, said that the
country had received no benefit from the
Interstate commerce law. He made the
broad charge that no step had been taken
under the law which had resulted in break
ing down of discrimination by the railroad
corporations, and that there existed to-day
a system of discrimination more fragrant,
more glaring, more outrageous than any
discrimination which had been made or at
tempted to be made by any corporation prior
to the enactment of the law.
He characterized the Commission as full
minating machine, and said thatits assump-
tion of authority had opesated to exclude
the Jurisdiction of StatS Legislatures, and
left the shippers absolutely at the mercy Of
the common carriers. He denounced as an
outrageous betrayal of the confidence of the
people the rejection of the amendment regu-
lating the transportation of oil in barrels
and in tank cars
