Wichita Eagle: In the war of the
Rebellion Kansas furnished more vol
unteers than her quota, about double
her proportion. Her inhabitants were
of the war stamp. They were in the
fight for principle. They had come to
the territory as much or more for the
purpose of fighting than anything else.
Home getting was but an incident. The
result was that in sixty three and four
in some Kansas counties there were
but women and children to be found
The men and boys were all in the
army. Usage, a central county in the
fall of "a cast but 125 votes. Just be-
fore the close of the war, however, when
Pap Price attempted his invasion, Kan
sas mustered some II regiments and
battalions and sent them to the front.
This last effort denuded the state of it's
male inhabitants. At the seat of the
county named but three men were left,
one of these was a wooden-legged Grip
pie, one a paralytic preacher and the
other an aged postmaster who was too
old to carry gun After the war was

homes. The result is that even today
Kansas has a greater per cent of old
soldiers than any other state, and but
one other state, we believe, has a great
er number of pensioners. The question
is, what will be the soldier record of
Kansas in the event of a war with
Spain. A large per cent of those who
served out their time in the war of the
Rebellion Te-enlisted Admitting that

DAMROSCH TO REST.
Symphony Conductor to Take Years
Vacation.

New York, April 11.-Wa1ter Dam
rosch will probably not be heard as a
conductor in New York for some time
to come, unless his present plans are
materially changed. He is to conduct
at the Symphony society tomorrow
night, and during the memorial celebra-
lions of the OratOriO society. But he
will withdraw from both organizations
next year, and their continuance seems
at this time a matter of some uncer-
tainty.
Next season Mr.. DamrOsch will con-
duct for the ten weeks of the Ellis COM
pany's tour through the cities outside
of New York. but he will no longer be
a partner in the enterprise. Most of his
time next year will be passed in New
York, and will be devoted to compost
ton. The tour of the DamrOsch-E Ellis
company this year has proved highly
profitable, and it may be due to this
fact that Mr.. DamrOsch now finds it
convenient to crafty his desire to de-
vote himself to composition.

CROW DOGS RATCHET
Has Been Dug Up and He is Ready
to Put on War Paint

ST. Paul. Mimi, April 11.-Indian In
spector Mclaughlin has written a
friend in this city that Grow Dog, the
famous old chief of the Sioux Indians
at the Rosebud agency, has offered to
raise regiment of young bucks for
service in event of war.
Major Mclaughlin, speaking of the
proposition, says:
"One could get together from their
number as fine a body of irregular
troops as there is in the world. They
are fine riders, expert with the rifle,
have lots of endurance, are thoroughly
at home in any weather and for scout
ing work and irregular duty and even
fighting in extended order, they would
be the equals of any troops in the coun-
try.
The Sioux are thoroughly loyal and
could be relied upon to do their whole
duty in any place they were put. If
the government desires their aid, can
assure it not less than 1000 fine fellows
from the Sioux agencies"

SCOTT APOLOGIES
For His AspersioDs on the Character
of Stage Women.

London, April 1.-THE controversy
between Clement Scott, the dramatic
critic, and the theatrical people of this
part of the world. arising from Scott s
reflections upon the virtue of actresses,
in an interview in December last, has
been settled by an abject apology upon
the part of Scott.
The dramatic critic stirred up the
storm referred to in an interview pre-
pared for a publication, entitled Great
Thoughts"
Among the remarks attributed to
Scott was that it was nearly impoSSf-
BILE for a woman who adopts the stage
as professional, to remain pure. He
is said to have added that 1.-The freedom
of life, speech and gesture behind the
curtain renders it almost impossible for
a woman to preserve that simplicity of
manner which is her greatest charm"
In his apology Scott says:
4 suggest that the words published
and which have evidently given such
offenSe, We're spoken at a moment of
great mental strain when my surround
ings were such as to prevent me from
clearly approaching the distress they
were likely to cause"
1t is believed Sir Henry Irving will
accept the apology ana that the matter
will be allowed to drop. The controver-
Sy has grown in bitterness. the mana
gers combining to keep Scott out of
their theaters, while dozens of appeal
ing and threatening letters were sent to
the Daily Telegraph, by which paper
Scott is employed, asking for his dis
charge.

capacity, and was to be debated at a
special meeting on April 10, Scott In
