GENESIS OF
 A WAR SONG

M. L. Rayne in the Chicago Times-Hera!d.
 Two distinguished men have been hob nobbing in a popular Washington restau- rant within the week and calling up remi- niscences of their earlier days, when one was the head of a brilliant minstrel troupe and the other a star performer. They were Neill Bryant and Col. John Kilkenny of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. And this is one of the themes which the two friends discussed over their wine and ter rapin:

of the bodies were buried at sea in the usual
manner, and all the effects, such as they
were, were brought ashore. There was
hardly anything about the female bodies to
aid identification. Only one or two were
those of first-class passengers. On Wednes-

POLITICS And BASEBALL
HOW A DISPUTE OVER A GAME LED
TO A FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
Boone County Incident That Has End
other Glass Trust Proposed.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

LEBANON, Ind, Aug. THE threatened
fractional fight among Republicans which
was anticipated by Democrats over the Sc
lection of chairman of the county CEN
trail committee failed to materialze. Only
one name was presented to the committee,
that of William Hostetter, and his selection
was made without dissenting vote. There
are no differences among Boone county Re
publicans this year. They have not been
solidly united for long time. One of the
features of Saturdays county convention
was the manner in which Sugar Creek and
Eagle townships buried the Ratchet" For
several years past these townships have
been at outs, and the origin of the trouble
arose over a ball game between louisville
and Thorntown. A number of years ago
Thorntown crossed bats with louisville at
the latter place. Previously the two teams
had played a game at Thorntown, lions
vile winning. The result of the game at
townsville was another victory for the team
of that town. This latter game was bitter
ly contested and considerable money was
wagered upon the outcome Thorntown
charged that her team had been cheated out
of the game, and charge and counter charge
flew thick and fast. The controversy de-
veloped into a bitter quarrel, which was
vention. Democratic and Republican alike.
Each township took great pleasure in
knitting each others candidates. Two
years ago it is said Sugar Creek township
defeated Eagle townships candidate in the
Republican convention. This year George
Stultz, OF louisville, was before the Demo-
cratic county convention as a candidate for
the nomination of treasurer. He was de-
feated and the responsibility for it was
charged to Sugar Creek At yesterdays Re
publican convention Samuel Hayworth, of
Sugar Creek, made speech in which he
appealed to the delegates TO put behind them
all past differences and factional fights and
present an unbroken front to the enemy.
When the time came to nominate a candi-
date for auditor the Sugar Creek delega-
ton voted almost solidly for j. M. Harmon,
of louisville, and he was nominated. Mr..
Harmon is the first candidate that town
ship has had for many years. Samuel Hay
worth, of Thorntown, who made the speech
counseling union of all factions, was nomi-
mated for representative. Now the two
townships are pulling together for the whole
ticket, and a friendly contest has been
inaugurated to see which can roll up the
largest Republican gain this fall.

He Did Not Advise or Order a Retreat
from Santiago.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE Heraid's San
tiago de Cuba correspondent says that Gen.
Shafter said to him last Thursday night:
The statement that I ordered or recon-
mended the withdrawal of the army from
Santiago is absolutely untrue. At the council
the general situation was discussed, among
other courses talked of being that to be
adopted if found necessary to withdraw. 1t

Kent and Bates-and ten staff officers. Those

found necessary, to withdraw the army from
in front of Santiago. This was brought up
incidentally. The conversation as to what
might be found necessary was not proposed
by Shafter, nor did he urge it. The principal
topic was the lack of food in the army and
the refusal of the navy to enter the har-
Dor until Skaters troops commanded the
lower bay. Shafter did not exclude Kent
and Sumner in his general reports. Kent
was included and recommended 10 be major
general. Sumner was not included, and he
was not present al the council He did not,
therefore, oppose Skaters views.

In MEMORY OF BISMARCK.
Impressive Ceremonies in the Royal
Opera House at Berlin.

BERLIN, Aug. IA Bismarck memorial
service, organized by the Berlin Bismarck
committee, was held at noon to-day in the
Royal Opera House. There was a large at
tendance. The ceremony was impressive
and worthy of the occasion. The walls and
balconies of the auditorium were draped
with black. After funeral march had been
performed, curtains were drawned aside
disclosing a laurel-surrounded bust of Prince
Bismarck. In front of the pedestal on
which stood the burst was a golden wreath
trimmed with mourning ribbons. Ernest

Councillor Kahl, an old friend of the dead
statesman, then delivered an Grafton in
which he referred to Prince Bismarck as
the conscience OF the German people, a
heritage ever defended with our blood" At
the conclusion of the Grafton the assembly
arose and sang Arendt's hymn "Geht Nun

were concluded by the rendering of a furter-

your sympathy upon the occasion of the
death of the great chancellor fills my af-
ficted heart with peculiar thankfulness. At

with especial keenness the significance Of
the passing of our great national hero. May
the powerful emotion which his death has
caused among all Germans throughout the
world testify to the firm determination of
the German people to preserve and honor
in gratitude the memory of that immortal
statesman by an utter devotion to the
national idea, to the Emperor and the en-

1t is now said that Bismarck's memoirs
have been deposited in London, where they
will be printed, and from which point they
will be distributed in order to prevent any
action by the German court TO suppress
them.
Prince Herbert was not present at the
opera house service. He declined also TO
attend the service at Hamburg. All the
rooms of the late prince will be kept as
before his death. 1t is now noticed that
all the semi-official papers have ceased to
publish anything about Bismarck except
Sem1-of1cial communications.

doctors orders. gave him a large glass of
champagne and mineral water. The prince

EVIDENCE OF A DISASTER.
Wreckage Has FlOated Ashore from
the Strait of Belle Isle.

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Aug. 7.-Captain
Major, of the mail steamer Virginia Lake,
from Labrador, which arrived to-day, ex-
presses the belief that some ship certainly
has been sunk in the Strait of Belle Isle.
Reports to that effect, he says, are current
along the whole northern coast of the ISL
and. beside which a quantity of deals,
cheese boxes and other wreckage have
drifted ashore at Flowers cove, near the
scene of the reported disaster. Captain
Major is surprised that more wrecks are
not reported, because the fog in that region
has been the heaviest known in thirty
years, continuing fourteen days, during
which time not a sight of the sun has been
obtained. On Saturday. July 80, a large
Allan line steamer, with 500 passengers
aboard, was almost ashore at Battle Har-
Dor, and on Tuesday last two other liners
were in great danger off Chateau. The
steamer Ipsden is a total wreck at Point
Amour, owing to the same cause. Captain
Major expects further news regarding the
reported disaster when the steamer Loop
ard, from North Labrador, due on Tues
day shall arrive.

Immune Regiments to Leave Savan-
nah for Santiago de Cuba.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Aug. THE Third
and Fifth regiments of United States vol
unteers arrived here to-day and are in camp
awaiting transports to take them to San
tiago. The Third Regiment arrived this
morning from Macon and the Fifth tonight
from Columbus, Miss. The transport Rio
Grande arrived to-day and is loading the
baggage of the Fifth Regiment, two battal-
ions of which will go on board tomorrow,
and will sail at noon. The Leona is eX-
pected in the morning. The Minnewaska is
delayed through an accident to her ma
chinery and is not expected before Tues
day. She will carry the Third Regiment,
commanded by COL Patrick Ray.
All of the officers and men are anxious to
get away. There is no lack of enthusiasm
among them, and the appeals that have
been made TO the War Department TO save
them from Santiago. the men of both regi-
ments say, are without authority and mis-
represent them by discrediting their valor.
