turn home from Detroit and Lake
Geneva. The ceremonies were partici-
pated in not alone by the members of
the organization and their immediate
friends. but by the patriotic and the
public-spifited citizens. the national
guard and by the national governments,
inasmuch as the United States army
band stationed at Fort Smelling fur
nished the music. The day will go
down in the annals Of the city as one
unparalleled in it's especial province.
Never before did st. Paul rejoice with
such tervor and enthusiasm over the re-
turn home of aquatic athletes from ma
tlonal and international courses.
The winners of fifteen elegant and
costly trophies, wrested from the great
est rowing clubs of the nation and the
the CanadaS, the Minnesota boys well
deserved the demonstration. Nothing
SO sweeping was ever before achieved
by any organization. With one eXcep-
tion these emblems of superior prowess
were brought to st. Paul by the wonder
full work of seven men. This exception
was the trophy won by the eight-oar
crew at GENEVA lake.
For days the members of the club
who had not attended the regattas at
Detroit and at Lake Geneva, had been
all hustle and business arranging for
the ovation. They were aided by citl-
Zens in general. and no one shlrked any
duty or work that might be placed upon
them. The boat club house at Rasp-
berry island was beautifully decorated
from the roof to the water line with the
brilliant colorS eff the club. Naturally
picturesque and pretty. tins bright garb
gave the romantic spot charm that it
never felt or expressed before.
Brilliant Achievements,
Preliminary to the narration of the
reception in all Its splendor, it is ap-
propriate that recital of the achieve
mentS of the club this season be given.
First came the Mime sofa and Winni-
peg regatta at Minnetonka, in which the
club won every event it started in, save
the junior singles. and in this it should
be related. Leslie Wann was defeated
largely owing to sprained wrist. The
seniors and the juniors carried off their
prizes with amazing regularity in the
singles, doubles and four-oared races.
As result of these races. fourteen
gold metals out of the fifteen awarded,
and two cups were brought to st. Paul.
The Macdonald cup is valued at $1,000,

rency is said to be opposed to free coin
age II to g.
The removal of Holman from the head
of the approximations committee Is in
terpreted by some to mean that the
speaker favors more liberal appropria
tions in the Fifty-third congress. The
friends of the Indiana economist are
displeased, and assert that they will
take stand with Holman in forcing
the Democratic party 70 live up to its
platform of economy in the approprta-
tiOns."
The removal of Springer from the
ways and meaus committee gives this
important chairmanship of the house to
the South. HOlman's successor is also
Southern man; but, aside from this.
the makeup of the committee on ways
and means does not indicate any essen
tial change from the policy of last con-
gress. Every other Democratic mem
Der of this committee who is in this
congress is retained, the new Cnes being
Breckenridge, of Arkansas; Bynum, of
Indiana, and Tarsney. of Missouri. The
only new Republican member is Gear,
of Iowa, one of the staunchest support
erS of the Mckinley policy and the Nc
* inley bill in the fifty-frst congress.

THE VICTORIOUS CREW.

as the crews stepped out toward their
enthusiastic friends and admirers made
the welkin ring. The boom Of the
cannon had ceased, bnt the echoes o e
the cries and cheers of the multitude
was scarcely less in volume.
Lieut.. Sturgis, of the United States
army, had been chosen as the chief,
marshal of the day, and it Daffied hist
efforts to maintain a military front"
during this trying scene. The excite-
ment was intensified, and the cry of the
club was followed by personal exclama4
tions, and then wild rush ensued. The
more enthusiastic embraced the heroesI
of the hour, and others pressed forwards
despite the efforts of the lieutenant to
maintain discipline. Pandemonium
reigned unrestralned for few minutes
only, however. Open order was taken,
and as the broom brigade, with their
gaily decked ''clean sweepers,' waved
them on, the Minnesota Boat club oars
men epassed through the line. First,
came the our-oared shell and the eight
cared boat; this vas followed by thei
tankards. plates. cups and medals thati

oarsmen, in the order in which they

10 o'clock there was a commotion at the
armorv, denoting to the passer-by that
something unusual had been planned.
The four companies of the national
guards were bivouacked there, ready for
action. Citizens not aware of the occa-
sion wondered. The armory was soon
surrounded by people waiting the first
movement of the troops. At 1880 the
order was given by Maj. Pierce, and the
boys in blue fell in with celebrity, and
all was in readiness for the next CON-
mand. 1t came without delay. and the
march was taken up for the union
depot. Their arrival there had been
anticipated by goodly thrOng. The
galleries of the depot had been re-
served by the thoughtful president of
the boat club, E. A. Jaggard, for
the use of the ladies. And the far
ones, admirers of the beau ideals. the
handsome youths whose wiIlowy.
frames, fnesse and herculean strength
was the object of the demonstration,
had come out IN large numbers. They
wore the cherry and white of the club,
and there was confusing flutter of ex-
element already noticeable among the
bellies of the city, for they were mani
festly impatient for the entry of the
Achillean heroes.
The officers and members of the boat
club, past and present, had drawn up
in line on the platform. The colors of

bearing the heroes, their shells and the
trophies that bear eloquent testimony to
the struggle and skill of the owners,
came steaming up under the glass roof
of the depot.
Meanwhile the broom brigade had Or
ganized. and it was drawn UP on either
side of the platform, reaching from the
point where the boys were to alight
down through the corridor of the depot
and out into the street. Each bore a
new broom gaily and artistically deco
rated with the historic cherry and red.
1t was vista of joyous animation, and
a scene that spectator will never for
get. The melodious tones of the loco
motive bell, the putting of the engine,
and the surroundings all contributed to
the effect ard accentuated the peculiar

felicity and the expectancy pictured in
the faces of the throng awaiting the two
gallant crews.
A Ringing Greeting.
"There they are!' shouted President
Jaggard. George Nettleton was discoy-
cred on the platform of one of the
coaches.
"M-i-n-n-e-s-o-t-a! Minnesotaw rang
out the war cry of the club from the
hundreds of enthusiastic throats assem-.
bled. 1t was the first time in the his
tory of the organization that anything
like it was ever heard, and it is matter
of surprise that when the cannon pealed
the echo, as it were, George Nettleton
bashfully retreated into the car again.
Battery A, of the national guard, had
left the infantry companies opposite
the depot and had drawn their cannon
down to the waters edge. The cry of
the club was the signal, and the instant
it had died away the command to fire
followed. A salute of fourteen shots
was fired. and this was followed by a
double In honor of the four-oared race
victory. To particularize, the club had
won fifteen trophies. and one of them
was the eightoar that has spread the

four oars.
Then the crews went to Detroit, and
thence to Lake Geneva. and yester-
day they returned home with fifteen
trophies.

the fourteen victories and then double
salute was given in honor of the eight

1t was exactly 1905 when the train
drew into the station, but it was fully
ten minutes later before the crews were
ready for the reception. The shells

COMMITTEE CHANGE.
Springer and Holman Set Back,
But Good Men in Their Places.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The interest
in the financial discussion in the
house was dwarfed today in the greater
interest that every one felt in the
announcement of the standing
committees by Speaker Crisp. The
speaker had kept his intentions so Sc
cret that surprises were anticipated, but
no one was prepared for the radical
changes made in the personnel of some
of the important committees.
Springer, of Illinois. gives way to
Wilson, of West Virginia, as chairman
of the ways and means committee, and
the lllinoisan is given the craftsmanship
of the committee on banking and cur
rency.
Holman, of Indiana, the venerable
swatch dog of the treasury" is deposed
from the committee on appropriations
in favor of SayTes. of Texas land is given
the head of the committee on Indian
affairs Bland, of Missouri, is retained
at the head of the committee on coinage,
bat the free coinage people are disap-
pointed in the committee being so
changed as to leave much doubt whether
the free coinage people are not in a
minority and whether the financial pol
Icy of the administration may not liud u
majority in the committee.
CongressmaH Tracey, of New York,
who is an administration man and sec
ond on the committee, claims that the
speaker has deferred to the repeating
element to such an extent as to make
the committee mildly free coinage"
instead of radically free coinage" and
insists that counting Kilgore, of Texas,
with the free coinage men, the commit
tee will only stand to S for free coin
age. Chairman Bland, when asked to-
night for an opinion as to how his COM
mittee stands, very Enthusiastically
replied, 81 don't know. You cannot
tell how a fellow stands nowadays.
According to the way they used to
stand We would have a majority Of Gle

through the line.
1t was An inspiring scene in the ex-
treme. The cry of the club rent tha
air repeatedly, and when all was tempo-
rarily hushed, the crew gave back tha
cry in eXultant tones.
And the Ladies. Too.
They marched into the depot, ana
here an ovation awaited them that had
only half been anticipated. President
Jaggard and his confreres had been
too busy attending to other details to
pay especial attention to the ladies, and
all this may have been the very happL.

A Statement to the First Flag on the
Enemy's Works on Nov. "a, 1863.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t was my
privilege to be at the 9th National Encamp-
ment at indianapolis III September last and
witness the parade, which was all very fine,
and went 10 show that the interest and
enthusiasm of our grand Order was still
marching onward and taking high rank
among the first of the Nationa! grand bodies
/ saw in that parade Post bearing the
flag of the 9Th XIV. with this inscription
This is the first flag planted on Lookout
Mountain Nov 25, 1868"
Now, this was all right, and was no doubt
true; but it is misleading. The battle of
Lookout Mountain was fought on the oath
of November, 1863. The Third Brigade,
under command Of Col. Ireland formerly
Green's Brigade), of the Second Division
(Gen. Geary), Twelfth Corps; the regiments
composing Ireland's Brigade were the Goth,
18th, 1920, 18th, and 149th n Y, and were
in advance. After crossing Lookout Creek
they descended the western slope of the
mountain, and after reaching the top moved
by the left flank toward the point and the
rebel works, which were constructed to de-
fend attack from the front OH toward the
river
Our troops after exchanging shots with
the rebel pickets and driving them in, add
vanced on the double-quick over powders
and fallen trees, and made for the rebel fort
amid the most terrific musketry-fire.

first planted on The rebel works during this
memorable engagement. ] had the honor
of carrying the National flag, and Serg't
Jesse Brink carried the State colors. Com
rade Brink fell mortally wounded at my
side, and the State cOlors fell into the hands
of Corp'l Perkins, one of the guard Per-
kins and myself planted them on the rebel
works. One of my color guard was also
wounded. The rebels in the fort were sent
to the rear.
We were ordered to halt, and we camped
on the mountain that night. The rebels re-
treated during the night. We had accom-
plished all that was required. The Third
Brigade was supported by the First and
Second Brigades of Geary's Division.
The next day Whiiaker's Brigade led the
advance, and ii was then, | suppose, that
the S;h Ky. placed their flag on the palisades
overlooking Chattanooga after the mountain
had been entirely freed from rebels by the
boys of Geary's White Star Division.-JoHN

MINTY SPEAKS,
Apropos the Story of Being Left skir
nlish Line.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l was
very much interested in Serg't LawsOn's ac-
count of how he was Left on Skirmish-
line at Chickamauga."
Sept 20 the Saber Brigade was On the ex-
IRENE left Of the army a strong scout
on patrol crossed the Chickamauga, and
passed through Graysville, and Chicka-
manga Station, and on its return the Attn Z.
S. Cav. was posted at Mission Mills to guard
the ford at that point.
The nearest infantry to MS was Gordon
Changers Reserve Corps at McAfee's Church,
on the Rossville and Ringgold road, in
which Col. Dan McCOok commanded the
Second Brigade of the Second Division.
The nearest rebel infantry was some miles
farther to our right. lam therefore at loss
TO know what infantry Serg't Larsons %
men made connection with.
You will recollect that when Granger
moved 10 his right to support Thomas, /
moved to my right and occupied Changers
old position at McAfee's Church. 1t was
undoubtedly at this time that the 4th Regu-
lars moved without recalling this picket on
skirmish-line "; and / cannot but express
my surprise that such splendid soldier as
was the commander of that regiment, Capt.
James B. Mcintyre, should have been guilty
of such neglect.
After taking position at McAfee's Church
! found that SCOTS Brigade Of rebel cavalry
was west OF the Chickamauga, and at once
moved forward and drove them across Red
House Bridge.
This must have been the, fight Comrade
Larson refers to.
This is the first have heard of any por-
tion of the 4th Cav. having been left at or
near Mission Mills, but Comrade Larson
tells the incident so clearly and so intelli-
gently that there can be no doubt of its cor
RICHNESS.
write this for the purpose of confirming
his dates and localities, and / heartily con-
graduate him on the cool, soldier-lke cour-
age which enabled him to extricate his
command from its perilous position.
If bad known of the occurrence at the
time it would not have been my FAINT if
Serg't Larson had not received his promo
ton.
If other members of the old Saber Bri-
gade will follow the good example Of Comrade
Larson, and give incidents which / have
passed over, either from neglect or on &C
count of having no knowledge Of them, we
will, by the time tell of the capture of JEFF
Davis and of our muster-ont, have very
complete and interesting history of the bri-
gade 10 read to our children.
But, comrades allow me to say to one and
all of you who respond to this invitation,
and write to our good and true friend, THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, do not indulge in
fiction; recollect that you are adding your
mite TO history, and adhere TO good, solid,
stubborn facts.-R. III. G.. MINTY, Brevet
