Prize Drilling Today In the Camp at Kansas
City.
KANSAS CITY. NO., Aug. 25.-From the noise
on the streets last night it would be supposed
that the Pythian knights would not be in good
condition to go through the exercises Of the
day with any pleasure to themselves, but at
Camp Shaw this morning everything was early
astir and the campers were ready for the prize
drilling. which began promptly at 9 o'clock
The first drill was q battalion drill and
this was followed by regimental and de
vision drills in the order of seniority
on entry. The drilling today will continue un-
til late in the afternoon, and tonight there will
be grand military display at the park, in
which the third regiment, N. G. NJ, and Pythi-
ans will participate. At O'Clock the Supreme
Lodge of Pythians went in session at their hall
and the Pythian Sisters started on an excursion
to Leavenworth, where they will be entertained
by the local lodges today, returning this even
ing. The session Of the Supreme Lodge will be
devoted to a further discussion Of the ritual
The supreme meetings of the Pythian Sister,
hood were resumed ut the Y. NJ. @. A. rooms
yesterday. There is full representation Of
this branch present. The sisterhood il COM
posed of ladies who are the wives, moth
ers and sisters of knights OF Pythias
The order was founded in Concord, N. H., Feb
ruary %. 1888, by Mrs. A. A. Young. Its OBJ
jects are the same as the Pythian Sisters, but
knights are not admitted to membership. The
order also assists its members financially and
does charitable work not attempted by the sis
tiers. Already signs Of breaking camp are to be
seen, and last night the outgoing trains carried
numbers of stragglers. Tonight the Wabash
will send out special to st. Louis loaded with
knights. and this same road will take the Ca
madam contingent to Chicago. The Memphis
also has several special cars ordered in for to-
night and the Missouri Pacific will possibly be

GETTING BACK TO WORK.
The Cabinet Officers Are Returning to Their
Posts of DUTY.

week ago there was but one cabinet officer
in the city, Secretary Foster of the State De
partment, who was busily engaged preparing
the Boring sea case now completed and ready
for submission. The absent cabinet officials
are slowly returning to their posts of duty,
Secretary Foster of the Treasury Department
and Attorney General Miller being the advance
guard. Secretary Elkins got back today
from his vacation at his home at Elkins.

return from a trip across the country.

or at least in time to review the parade of the

The President on his return will have two i'm
portant offices 10 fill because of the resignation
OF Land Commissioner Carter and First Assistant
Postmaster General Whitfield. Mr.. Whit
field will retire September l. and will probably
be granted one months leave of absence from
that date, so that his successor will not enter
upon his duties till October l.
The land Office officials and employees appear
to be taking little interest in the possibilities
of new chief, there being an opinion
that the Office will be lett open until
after the election. when Commissioner Carter

What Mr.. james L. Norris Is Telling the
Managers in New York.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Hard work and little
talk seemed the rule at both political headquar-
tiers today. There were two or three callers
from the extreme northwest at republican
headquarters. The announcement was made
that Gov. Mckinley will speak in Connecticut
September and 60 thence to woodsdale, Ohio,
whore he will address the republican
league on September 10. Col. Fassett leaves
Tor Maine at once and will remain actively in
the campaign there until election: The fact that
Eassett is going actively into the campaign is
received with much satisfaction by republicans
here.
James L. Norris Of Washington was at demo-
cratic headquarters this morning. He gave
some very satisfactory information, and in talk
ing to newspaper man he said: Prom

paign indications are excellent. ! have I'M

have been principally in Clark and JET

there excellent. In both states the force bill
issue has powerful effect in keeping old DEM
ocrats in line and bringing many recruits to the
party, besides depicting therepublicans through
the third party ranks. The prospect of a re-
turn to central domination and the re-
striction of local control Of elections
Is appalling to people Of this state. As far as
my information by correspondence goes

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
Conservatives Issue Address Against
the Tillmanites.


the Tillmanites.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., Aug. 25.-The political
situation here is very close. The primary cleo
ton which takes place next Tuesday is to settle
q fight within democratic ranks. The conven-
ton which is to nominate state ticket will
consist Of 800 delegates. At the last election
Tillman and his faction had nearly 800 of these.
The campaign which closed on the Goth inst,
however, has developed unusual strength on
the part OF the conservative democracy and
the executive committee of that wing
ls out In an address today In which
they claim that the opponents Of Gov. Tillman
will surely elect $50 and possibly 1856 delegates
The address says: 1--WE are happy to state that
this political hypocrisy will meet its merited
fate and the quiet, determined democracy Of
our state, who have nothing at heart but the
good OF the party and the prosperity of South
Carolina, will administer to these undemocratic
alliances and their selfish promoters fitting
rebuke on Tuesday next. The issues are plain
The republican party boldly announces to
the American people as its leading principles
the protective tariff and the force bill The
democratic party appeals to the American
people in behalf OF q reduction OF tariff bur-
dens to the needs Of the government for reye-
nue. and demands that the people shall vote
without the interference of the federal govern
ment and the United States marshals."
The Tlllmanites profess to be equally sure Of
the election. The vote will be very close All
the congressional nominations are to be made
at the primary on Tuesday.

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 25.-Everything is quiet
with the Georgia military and there is no dan
ger of a call to arms. From the latest informa-
ton received from the coal mines in Dade
county it appears that the excitement
about the Tennessee miners attack
Ing the stockades and liberating
the convicts originated in discussion in Ten
nessee as to the possibility Of such course
being taken by Tennessee miners. Reports
received from Tennessee indicate that the
miners had no such intention, and
that the move was never seriously considered.
Principal keeper of the Georgia penitentiary
Jones, however, as a matter of precau-
ton has gone to the Dade county mines and is
there today. The governor ordered the mill
tary in the counties adjoining Dade to be in
readiness on receiving the first intimation of q
probable attack, but reports from his Office to-
day say that everything is serene and that there
is no possibility Of any attack or of any trouble
Of any character.

A Curious Incident of the Cottonwood In
dian Fight.


Lew wilmot in Forest and Stream
II might be of some interest to yorr readers
to learn of the freaks of two bullets tina: came
under my observation in 1877, during the Nez
Perez Indian war. in The Cottonwood fight.
F. A. Fem had bullet cut four holes in his
pantaloons without drawing blood. and one
burned both lips and loosened front tooth
This was kissing bullet in reality
About one week later was running a race
with some fifteen or twenty Indians. The goal
was a small mound. Whoever reached the
mound first could hold it, We had some
friends coming on the trail, which passed lust
at the foot of the mound. The horse was
riding was quite fast. I had got a hundred
yards or soahead OF my companion, and stopped
TO take shot at an Indian. After 1 shot
jumped on my horse just a young fellow
came up. We were on the move. when he said
''Lew, I'm shot" asked him il he was hurt
badly. He said: ''No, 1 have caught the bull
let" GAN right" said l, put it in your
pocket
let my horse run and soon left him. for
had the trail and the Indians had the grass
reached the foot of the mound when the nearest
Indian was about $50 yards from the foo. on
his side. The mound was tolernbly steep and
about $50 feet high. / let my horse climb as
fast as he could. When reached the ton
jumped off and the Indians were on the run
10 get out Of the reach of my long range Rem
ington. Iopened fire and kept il up US long
as they were in sight. When the excitement
was over the young fellow showed me where
he had been shot. The ball had just grazed
his arm, making a blue streak about five
inches long, and had struck his gun barrel
(where it screws into the france and had
raised dent on the inside Of the barrel as
large as pea; it then glanced and fell into his
left hand The gun was ruined. but it saved
his life.
The shot had been fed at me. as the
young fellow had not been in sight for al
instant
tell you those bullets that are out Of those
government guns. with seventy grains Of pow
der aud forty five grains Of lead. are dangerous
things 70 be kissing and catching. No, thank
you, don't want to be around when there are
any more flying.

Boarding q Steamer From Antwerp,

Boarding q Steamer From Antwerp.
New YORK, Aug. 25.-News was received this
morning at the health station at quarantine Of
the appearance Of cholera at Antwerp
simultaneously with the arrival here
of the Red Star line passenger
steamer Noordland from that port. DR.. Jenkins,
the chief Of the Quarantine station, and DR..
Skinner, his chief deputy, were on duty at
the time, and they went aboard the
her passengers. The Noordland sailed from
Antwerp on August Is, eleven days prior
to the discovery of the disease at Antwerp.
There seemed little chance for that vessel being
at all affected by the disease, and though the
examination Of her was pretty thorough, it was
not as rigid as may be expected when the other
vessels from Antwerp arrived later
