pointed in the departure of the regi-
ment for home. Late tonight (Thurs-
day. Colonel Dougherty was notified
that the Pullman company could not
furnish sleepers for the officers and
sick men before Saturday night, and
possibly would be able to load men on
Sunday. The arrangements have been
completed to go over the Chesapeake

Pennsylvania via Harrisburg to
Wilkes-Barre. Everything was in read
mess to move tomorrow and it was
expected the regiment would reach
home on Sunday but will now be de-
layed a day or two.
Secretary Alger will not arrive until

Ninth will act as his escort on account
of going home.

Weight of Projestile Obs.

Some of the 6-inch, and all of lesser
calibres, are rapid-fire guns.
The powder charges are rousbIv
about one-half the weight of the pro
jectle.
The smaller guns composing the sec-
ondary batteries are one, three, six.
and twelve Founders, mostly of the
Hotchkiss and briggs Schroeder pat
terms. The machine-guns are of sew
eral patterns, including the Calling.
Colt, Fotchkiss, Maxim, and Maxim
Nordenfeldt.
The small-arms consist OF the modi-
held Lee magazine rifle, calibre .236,and
the Colt revolver calibre 3S.
The projectiles used are shells and
hhrapnel' the former being of two
varieties, common and armor- piercing.
common shells are of cast steel, and
are percussion fuses. Armor- piercing
shells are Of highly tempered steel,
win specially hardened heads, to pre-
vent them from breaking up on con-
tact with armor A small nose-cap is
commonly put on the tip, to preserve
the latter until 1t has entered the
armor. Armor- piercing shells have no
fuses, and are exploded by the heat en-
gendered by the friction of piercing.
Nickel-sheathed bullets are used in
the small-arm rifle, and ordinary lead
bullets in the revolver.
Nearly all the torpedoes are of the
Whitehead type, carrying $50 pounds
Of guncotton, and propelled by a gas
engine within. n.although there are a few
Howell torpedoes, which are driven
through the water by a fiy-wheeI rap
idly revolving. Torpedoes are launched
through the tubes on board ship by
means of exploding a small charge of
powder.
Sword bayonets are provided for the
rifles, and cutlasses are still in use.

LONG, WEARY MARCH.

Then begins long, weary march of
about five miles. The packs and guns
weigh heavy and it is terrible work
making the camp, especially as the
men have had no walking or other eX-
ercise for nearly nine days.
In an orchard of trees which we call
String beans" the men unstrap packs,
lay down guns, haversacks, and can
teens and themselves lie down.
Six o'clock at night. The tents, food
supplies and other baggage have not
arrived. A pale, tropical moon is shin
ing when a rumpus is heard on the
road below. The shouts of drivers, the
cracks of whips. become distinct. 1t is
Company HIS baggage. 1t turns into
the orchard. A steady hill confronts
the mules and they can't bulge the
load. II men arrive on the scene and
putting their shoulders to the wheels
the load finally reaches it's destination.
The other baggage arrives shortly.
BY the feeble light of the moon some
of the tents are pitched. There isn't
room for all. Captain Hitchcock, Lieu
tenants Worthing and Hinman, and
some of the enlisted men sleep out. The
former on cots, the latter on boxes or
the ground. Everybody sleeps the sleep
of the just. Several showers blow up
through the night, but the water dis

CLIMATE AND PEOPLE.


Much has been written about Homo
lulu, its climate and people. The first
walk through its residential streets
gives one an idea of what a paradise
might be. The natives or Kanaks are
good looking, we'll built members Of
the human race who are descended
from Polynesian stock. They are in
telligent and mild hammered. When
the islands were first discovered, it
was estimated that there were 100000
Kanaks. Now there are not over 40,-
900 left. Two or three generations
and they will probably have disap-
peared entirely. The poor Kanak was
quicker to adopt the civilized mans
vices than his virtues.
At about o'clock this morning near
ly a score of Company Fl men started
to ascend the peak Diamond Head,
which is Immediately back of our
camp. Diamond Head is the rim OF
an extinct volcano. Its highest point
where an American flag was placed
by some First regiment boys is over
1900 feet above the sea. For some dis
tance from the base the flow of lava
made a very steep incline. The last
thirty feet to the rim, or summit are
sheer The men climbed to where the
precipice began. There some dozen
lost courage on viewing the dizzy
heights they had already achieved.
Below stretched the sea, the harbor
of Honolulu, the city itself. Green rice
fields. groves of bananas, pineapples
or cocoanuts varied the almost sub
timely beautiful panorama. Here in
patches the sun lighted the landscape.
Other patches repose in cool shadow
afar off on the right the Punch Bowl,
in deep shadow reared itself purple
silhouette against distant haze. The

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 25.-W.
F. Davis, who is understood to be
the head of the Davis Coal & Coke
company, one of the largest con-
Germs of West Virginia, has been
astonishing Galveston with his
rapid living. He came here last
month accompanied by a valet,
and by Miss E. Brainbridge Smith
of the Richard Mansfield company.
Thursday night. just for the ed
ification of Miss Smith, two well
known pugilists fought to a finish
in the rooms of the Galveston Ath-
letic club. Jim Hall of Australia
acted as referee. The fight was one
of the hottest ever seen here.
Besides Miss Smith only half a
dozen other. persons saw the scrap.
Mr.. Davis paid the freight"
A week ago Mr.. Davis ran short
of ready cash, the expenses of a
yacht and other things having used
up the money he brought here.
After making several drafts on a
Baltimore bank a local banking
concern telegraphed, at Mr.. Davis
asking what credit to ex-
tend to him. The reply was: We
will honor his drafts to the extent
of 81, 900, ,OOO."
Mr.. Davis and Miss Smith left
to-day on the San Marcos for Key

Royalties Are an Outrage.

The following from Congressman
John S. Little is in response to
letters addressed to him on the
question of royalties in the Indian
Territory: I have believed for
some years that the royalties on
merchants, as well as the permits
required of non-citizens, is an out
rage and unjustifable, and / caus-
ed provision to be inserted in the
Curtis bill which l hoped would
have the effect to abolish them;
but it seems that, under the rules
of the department, such is not the
case. / shall be glad to do what
can in the coming congress to abol-
ish these royalties. l think the
time for them has long since
passed, and shall commend any
efforts upon the part of the people
of that country looking to that
end"
