The Western Limit OF The louisiana
Purchase.

Chicago Tribune
Az. the result of an exhaustive in
es,;estion made by Binger Hermann,
commissioper of the general land Office
at Washington, Secretary Bliss has
ordered the rectifying of an old error
in the official maps of the United
States. 10 many of the schools of the
country the pupils are being taught
that the region Including Ore
Idaho aud Wyoming Was secured
through the Louisiana purchase in
1903. Such teaching is based on the
official msps of the government, but it
is clearly erroneous. The vast tract
which we bought from Napoleon was
extremely indefinite in its bounda-
ries but il would be nonsense to accept
the Freneh claim that it extendedclear
to the Pacific. The natural boundary
of the region opened up by tho Jesuit
missionsries' explorations in the Missis-
sippi valley is the Rocky mountains.
and it b there that the western limit
forth be placed on the official maps.
II any European nation had right
to claim the region now
known as Oregon and Wash
ington it was the English, because of
Captain Cook discovery of the coast
in the sixteenth century. But we had
a still better claim, based on the fact
that in 1892 Captain Gray, of Boston,
sailed up the great Western river in
his vessel, the Columbia, and named
the stream in honor of his ship. We
were on the point of letting that rich
region slip from our grasp to the En-
lish in 1856, when DR.. Marcus Whit
nan made his famous ride across the
Rockies and saved Oregon by getting
it colonized with Americans. On the
new government maps the tract beyond
the Rockies will be shown to have been
acquired by Gray's discovery in 1892,
by Lewis and Clsrk's explorations in
1906, by John Jacob Astor's settlement
at, Astoria in 1911, and by the Florida
treaty in 1919. 1t would be interesting
to know how the error regarding the
Loui .siana cession ever came to have
officisN sanction.

Soldiers Disgrace Their Uniforms

Several soldiers from the fort came
to town yesterday afternoon and few
of them became Deastly drunk and for
time presented very disgraceful
scene on San Antonio street. The few
who remained reasonably sober tried
| to induce their companions to mount
their horses and return to the post, but
their pleadings fell upon very deaf
ears.
The officers were watching the &C.
lions of the soldiers who were disre-
garding for law and order, and when 1t
came TO a point where the officers
could no longer stand such actions the
soldiers were ordered to keep quiet.
One of them became very impudent
and Officer Taylor locked him up. AS
soon as this officer left one of the SOL
diers commenced to condemn HE action
in very profane terms. Officer Dwyer
approached the obscene tslker and
told him he would have to keep quiet.
The drunks were finally landed on
their horses and headed for the fort,
but some of them could not stand the
solitude of the barracks so they return
ed to the city aud put in the night in
very exciting sports.
One swore out q complaint against
Alice Couley this morning charging
her with stealing money to the amount
os S1I from him. He has a witness
who will swear that he saw her put her
hand under the complainant's coat
while IL was on his back.
Another of the soldier boys was ar
rested with two revolvers buckled to
him, and is charged with discharRinR
one of them.
Some of the soldiers went so far "a
to say that they were going to come in
-ome day and capture the town. How
-ver the police cannot be made to be-
lieve that they meant exactly what
tn ey said in this respect.
Several men in the crowd should re-
ceive credit for the effort which they
made TO get their comrades to return
peaceably to the post and remsip
there. They went to the police officers
when they. found their comrades were
becoming unmanaeable and requested
the officers not to arrest them, but to
tell them to go home and be quiet
The officers complied with the re-
quest and tried TO persuade the erring
ones to return to the post, but all to no
avail. IL seems as il they came to town
TO ~ axe asses out of themselves and
they succeeded admirably.

the treasury today received from the sec
rotary of war estimates of deficiency in
appropriations for the use of the war de-
partment for the remaining two months Of
the present fiscal year aggregating $34,-

that the acts of congress approved April
p and g. 1898 authorizing the enrolment
of volunteer army and placing the reg
ular army on a war footing viii necessi-
tate this increased appropriation for the
organization. support and maintenance of
the new forces. The several items in the
deficiency appropriation asked for are as
follows cents omitted:

that up TO July l next 1.-TWO months) the
