CANTEEN SYSTEM.
The Benefits Derived by the Soldiers
Under the New Order

The Benefits Derived by the Soldiers
Under the New Order.
WASHINGTON, January 9th. - Adiutant.
General Kelton gives the following expla.
nation OF what the canteen system is, be-
cause of the fight that will be made before
Congress for its abolishment by post.
traders:
Our canteen system is modelled on those
of foreign countries, which is the CO.
operative store of the regiment. There is
wet canteen' and dry canteen.' The
former is practically a club room, and is
fitted up with library and reading-room
and room for games and others for re.
freshments, for all of which privileges the
soldiers pay monthly subscription of two
pence.
THE bill of fare has large variety and
the charges are exceedingly low. The dry
canteen is the same as the post-trader's
store in our service but where all articles
of general merchandise are sold at rates
slightly exceeding cost. These are man.
aged by committee of officers and non
commissioned officers, under the super.
vision of the commandant. There is q
Treasurer, Accountant and Steward. Every
thing is sold for cash and the money is
lodged daily il bank.
The amount of profits averages some
$1,000 year to each regiment. OF these
profits every penny goes for the benefit OF
the soldier in supplying extra dinners, pa
pers and games for the club-room, prizes
for regimental sports and dishes for the
messes.
I'm short the canteen is among the most
important features of garrison life in Eu-
rope. In the French and German armies
the system is not so thorough as in Eng
land but in all the cooperative feature is
prominent and all are under military su-
pervision. Practically, this is the system
which is now being introduced IN our army
and which may ultimately supersede the
post-trader system-not because the latter
is a special mark of disapproval, but be-
cause the canteen is for the greater benefit
of the soldiers, and because the two sys-
TENS are irreconcilable.

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Scores of Veterans Anxious for Fight
With Colombia,


NEW YORK, January 5th.-The Office of
L. Schepp, who is the principal trader on
the San Bias coast, was thronged yesterday
by people who wanted to ship on lis mer-
chant vessel to fight the Colombians. Il
had many who were formerly in the Ger
man army" said Schepp, SCARED veterans
some of them of the Franco German war,
who only begged chance to ship on one of
my ships and fight the Colombian vessels.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
convinced them that / was not waging war
on the Colombian Government and that
my vessel is not armed to fight against
men-o of war of the United States of Colon
bia, but to resist any unlawful attempt to
capture her on the part of pirates, who, by
sailing under the flag ofColombia, infringe
her laws"
The acting Colombian Consul said "As
vet l have received no advices from my
Government with regard to the seizure Of
American vessels. All ! can say is that
vessels trading on the San Bias coast should
clear from the Colombian Consulate in
New York"
In reply to this argument the traders of
the San Bias coast say: IF we clear ves-
sci from here bound for Nicaragua with a
cargo and she discharges at Greytown, then
getting a clearance for Colon, at which port
she takes out her trading license for the
San Bias coast, what have We to do with
the Colombian Consulate in this city? The
famous triangular commerce which is car
ried on between England, Brazil and this
country would cease if such rules were en-
forced. The Colon bian gunboat La Papa
is commanded by aa Englishman named
Baxter. His crew is said to consist ol
twenty drunken natives. There are two
ships waiting to sail for the San Bias coast
now, one lying at wharf in the Eas
river and one in the North river. They are
loaded with goods for the people of the Sar
Bias coast, VITO have been accustomed tC

AN ADMIRABLE SQUADRON,
Why the Cruiser Yorktown was Late
Reaching Lisbon.

why the Cruiser Yorktown was Late in
Reaching Lisbon.
New YORK, January 5th.-The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent on board the
United States steamship Atlanta in q letter
from Lisbon describes the experience of
the squadron in the tempest ON the Atlantic.
Referring to the keeping behind of the
Yorktown, he says: At Z P. NJ. on the
18th, in the hight OF a furious south
westerly gale and a tremendous sea, the
commander of the Yorktown made Signals
to the flagship, requesting permission to
hesve to, which was granted.
From that time the Yorktown dropped
astern. The action OF her Commander is no
more than could have been expected. The
Yorktown is comparatively light ship,
carrying a very heavy battery. Thus is
would have been the hight of folly to have
kept the vessel running before such a
heavy sea.
Had one OF the moDstrous combs, which
from time 10 time rolled over the Atlanta 8
and Boston's sterns, ever plunged on the
Yorktown's main deck, it would have
gutted her fore and aft.
During the night and all of next day the
sea ran mountains high," but the Atlanta,
IN spite of her low fore and after parts, rode
it like duck, as did also her sister ship
tne boston. NOlulDS could more tOrclbly
convey to the mind the fury of the Atlantic
than the sight of these huge cruisers tossed
like playthings by the sea, scudding along
under reefed fore and main-topsails and
fofesail, ard burying the muzzles of the
guns under the water at every roll, it
seemed incredible that their canvas would
stand or that they could long continue to
run before such sea.
No thought of Lying to-" however, sug-
gested itself to the mind OF Admiral
Walker.
The Chicago rolled on and on and the
two gallant brigs followed, even if they did
occasionally hid their entire fore and after
parts under the green seas.
On the morning of the 14th the wind
lulled considerably, but before night fell it
came to blow with renewed violence.
AT P. NJ. on the 10Th the Boston made
signals that her boilers needed repairs and
the Chicago aud Atlanta slowed down until
the repairs were completed.
Fog, heavy rain and a misty chop sea
were the principal features of the re-
mainder Of the voyage.
A set of more seaworthy vessels never
pat 10 sea. During the entire run and in
face of the exceptionally bad weather, they
maintained at the half hour an average
speed OF over nine knots an hour, re-
markable performance, and, it is safe to
say, one that has never been equaled by
any squadron.

Married to a Baron.

BALTIMORE, January 5th.-Baron d'Este
and Countess de Noue, of France, were
married yesterday by Archbishop Ryan, of
Philadelphia, and are spending few days
in this city. The bride was, before her
marriage, Miss Elizabeth Brown Harney
daughter of the late General Harney, Of
the U. S. A. She has two sons officers in
ihe French army and one daughter who
accompanied her to this country.
She met Baron d'Este at the Paris Exhi-
bition last summer, and an attach
ment was formed, which resulted in
the marriage. The reason for their coming
TO this country was that the Countess
wished to be married at the home of her
lifelong friend, Mrs. Povhsttan Clarke of
this city. They were compelled, however,
to go TO Philadelphia TO meet the Arch
bishop, who is also an old friend OF the
brides family, and whom she wished e
perform the ceremony.

HORRIBLE TREATMENT.
Two Insane Women in an Asylum
Treated Most InhumanIy.

Two Insane Women in an Asylum
Treated Most Inhumanly.
CHICAGO, January 5th-The reports of
the horrible treatment of insane women in
the Dupage County Almshouse are declared
in the official statement to Governor FIfer
tonight to be well founded.
The statement is signed by DR.. T. H.
Wines and Rev. G. g. True6sen, both
members of the State Board of Charities.
The women were covered with ilth were
naked and ate off a reeking floor When
bathed at all it was by male attendants,
and at night the women's cells were left
unlocked, exposing them TO criminal as
sault from men about the place.
The two thus treated were incorrigible,
and to this fact and the ignorance and
carelessness of the keeper their report at
tributes the disgrace. Both women have
been removed to the State Asylum, and
the report recommends legislators to give
the State Board of Charities jurisdiction
over country authorities in such cases.
One of the women was insane when a
dozen years ago she arrived from Ger
many. A law is recommended to the
Legislature giving the State Board power
to return such patients to the place from
whence they come.

the opening of the services, and for a few
minutes held possession of the church.
Immediately after the minister closed his
prayer the doors of the place of worship
were thrown open and three masked men
walked down the aisle to the pulpit and
tackled large placard to the wall bearing
the inscription

The regulators used the butt ends of re-

without saying word. While the three
men were engaged in this work four others,
with revolvers in their hands, stood guard
at the door. The seven then proceeded to
the public road, where about thirty COM
panions awaited them on horseback. They
mounted their horses and rode of. There
are many in the neighborhood who think
that the visit of the masked men will be

end to the frequent disturbance caused by
young men and boys who congregate
around the churches.
