and taking a tighter grip on the cable.
The woman was standing up and looking
back at him. She was smiling-smiling
audibly.
Never mind" she said with peal Of
silvery laughter.
The car sped on, but she put her hand
to her mouth like trumpet and

the way, have any of you seen any Of
the rank and file this morning?
Major-Colonel, l regret to inform
you that the grenadiers have held a
mass-meeting, at which it was unani-
mously resolved not to parade to-day.
Colonel regret very much that
was not consulted.
Captain-I don't think ever saw them
in such bad humor.
Colonel-And yet usually they are so
polite.
Lieutenant-They are a lot of vaga-
bonds; that's what they are.
Colonel-Young man, don't make the
situation any worse than it is by such
improper remarks. Such remarks re-
garding her Majesty's grenadiers are al
together out of place. Instead of exas-
perating the men beyond endurance, let
us try and find out what is the real cause
of their complaint. | wonder why they
did not come to me about it.
Captain-Private Tommy Atkins, who
is on guard at st. James palace, COM
plains that his wife is dissatisfied be-
cause he is not able to spend more time
in her society.
Colonel-That is a sentiment that does
him credit. The English army owes its
strength principally to the family in
stinct of her soldiers.
Captain-Grenadier Jones complains
that he can not find time to take his
little daughter to school, and Grenadier
Robinson had an appointment to meet a
lady. and owing TO roll-call he was too
late. OF course, he is in q towering
rage.
Colonel i don't blame him. That's
the way l would feel al out it myself.
taking the Captain aside the Colonel
inquiries in whisper if the lady is of
very high rank, to which the Captain
mods his head, winl1s, and says: "Jack
Robinson is an awful lady killer. He is
the pride of the regiment. By the way,
bugler, would you be so kind as to blow
the assembly once more.w
Bugler-I would like to accommodate
you, Colonel, but as all the other SOL
diers have refused to obey your orders l
can't bugle unless have their permis-
sion. Personally am your friend, but
| can not violate the traditions of the
army.
Colonel-Bravo! You have got tho
stuff in you out of which heroes are
made. Go to your comrades and tell
them that / am anxious to have con-
ference with them. / expect they OBJ
iect to having to drill. l don't blame
them, for that's the way feel about it
myself.
Buglcr (who has returned)-Colonel
the men positively refuse to come; but
they say that if you have any PROPOSE
tion to make to them, and will come
to their mess-room, they will listen to
you.
Colonel Ito oflicers)-That's just what
expected. | knew that this little off,
spell of bad humor would not last If
remained firm. Gentlemen, let us meet
this encouraging proposition in the same
spirit in which it is rendered. Lit:le
differences like this occur in tho best
disciplined regiments in the world. Let
us go to the mess-room. Forward
march!
They enter the mess-room, whereupon
the grenadiers sing in chorus
For he is q jolly good Yellow.
For he is jolly good fellow,
Which nobody can deny.

if they are in tho neighborhood.
Adjutant-I can't imagine why they
do not fall in, unless they have forgot
ten that you were to hold inspection

The Recent Excitement Caused by an
Unusual Gathering of Red Skins.

The Secretary OF War has received a tele-
gram from Brig. Gen. Ruger, dated st. Paul,
MIMI, June II: In reply to telegram this date
the facts reported by Capt Wells, eighth cav
airy, who is at Oelrichs station, are that some
600 or 700 Indians after ration day on the 10th
instant gathered on White river for dancing.
Some settlers in vicinity of reservation On
White river and the Black Tail and Beaver
creeks, west and east tributaries of same, be-
came alarmed and left homes. Capt Wells in
report dated yesterday says that three promi-
nent Sioux had just come to see him to find
out what the matter was and who had started
rumors of their outbreak, that they had in
tended to continue their dancing and horse
racing for three or four days longer When
they had heard that settlers had left homes
and gone into town they, the Indians. at once
broke up and all went home. Capt. Wells
had telegram dated 18th from Agent Gallager
at Pine Ridge words following: Every
thing here is all quiet and right. These Indians
know nothing of the excitement outside" 1t
does not appear any troops are needed 1t
would be best to make detachment if needed
from Fort Robinson, Beaver creek settlers
are In that department and almost as near as
the command of Capt. Wells at Oelrchs, who
has the special duty to watch whole country
to west of Pine Ridge reservation and prevent
any Indians, Cheyennes in particular, from
going to Tongue River reservation in Mon
tana
The Secretary also received telegram from
Brig. Gen. Brooke. dated Omaha, June 1S,
stating that he believed that there was no
foundation for the excitement

AN "AWFUL STENCIL
Petitions for Removal of the Garbage
Wharf From Foot of G. Street.

A number of citizens headed by President
Maddox of the Analostan Boat Club and John
Cumberland called upon the Commissioners
this morning and presented long petition
praying that the location of the garbage wharf
at the foot Of q street be changed. as the awful
stencil arising therefrom is not only a
nuisance, but a menace to the public health.
The place complained of is where all the gar
bage wagons deposit their loads on scows to
be conveyed across the river In conversation
with STAR reporter one of the petitioners
said:
This place is an outrageous nuisance and
should be moved at once. The odors arising
from the decaying garbage as it hes there on
the scows ready to be towed away is unbearable
and liable to cause an epidemic at any time

COULDN'T VIOLATE THE TREATY.
Why the Contract for the Practice Yes
sci Was Given to the Highest Bidder.

There is growing belief among naval Of
fcers that the Secretary in awarding The con-
tract for the practice vessel reflected the policy
of the administration as regards the attitude of
this government toward England. The con-
tract was given to the highest bidder, the
Moores of Elizabethport, NJ, the lowest esti-
mate being submitted by Representative
Wheeler, who owns a ship yard at Bay City,
Mich. The Secretary decided that to give the
contract to Wheeler would be a violation of the
treaty CT 1917, which stipulates there shall be
no war vessels built on the Great Lakes There
is a consideration. however, in this stipulation
to the effect that it can be terminated by the
giving of six months notice by either side.
GREAT BRITAIN HAS THE BEST OF IT.
Such notice will not be given just now in the
present condition of the fisheries question. 1t
is the general opinion that the government
will await the conclusion of that difficulty
before taking any steps to build men of war on
this exposed frontier. AS it is the British pos
sessing the Welland canal. has far the best of
the bargain. for they can send fleet into the
lake at short notice.
