GEN. BARKLEY REFLECTED.
An Illinois Brigadier Now in VOlun-
teer Army.

The officers of the Illinois brigade held a
brigade meeting last night to elect a bri-
gade commander. General James H. Bark
ley, of Springfield. was reelected, not with
out some opposition. Brigadier General
Carnahan presided over the meeting by in
vitation. When General barkley's name was
presented the statement was made that he
could not be with the brigade, as he is in
the army, having been made brigadier
general by President Mckinley at the be-
ginning Of the late unpleasatness with
Spain. There was a motion to make the
election by reclamation. General Carnahan
explained that the rules require a vote by
ballot. You might instruct the adjutant to
cast the entire vote for General Barley"
He. was interrupted by loud cries of mo-
no. from several.
The name of ]. d. Ellis was then pre-
scented. While the ballot was being taken
officers of the two Chicago regiments were
outside the assembly tent rather excitedly
talking over the situat ton and exhibiting a
good deal of bitterness. They declared that
Chicago had not received the attention that
it ought to and that dissensions had grown
up. Their efforts were unavailing, as Gen.
Barley was elected almost unanimously.
After the election General Carnahan spoke
briefly and the officers transacted other rou-
tine business.

AT THE REVIEWING STAND.
Supreme ChancellOr's View of Parade
--Jam on Washington Street.

The large reviewing stand, constructed by
the managers of the encampment, in front
of the courthouse, filled slowly, and those
who first arrived enjoyed watching the diff
ferent phases of the gathering crowd. Not
only could they study the people who filed
into the large stand. but on the opposite
side of the street the maneuvers of the surg
Ing mass offered an equally interesting field.
Large hands and small hands, white hands
and hands Drowned with labor grasped the
rope which served to hold back the people
for hundreds of feet up and down Wash
ington street. The south side of the street
during the early part of the afternoon was
shady, and those who habitually go to large
demonstrations early, that they may obtain
the choice locations, soon lined up on the
curb with a large crowd banking to the
walls of the buildings. Behind this black
mass could be seen pedestrians slowly and
painfully making their way in either direc-
ti6n.
But the early corners were outgeneraled
by wiser class, who realized that the pa
rade would be late in making its appearance
at this point. and stayed in shady places
out of the crowd until almost time for the
show. They then lined up on the sunny

stration would be half over they would be
In the shade. And while they were still in
the sun they lived in anticipation of the re-
lief that was sure to come while those
across the street cast anxious eyes upon
the rapidly-approaching shadow Then a
parasol would show itself at some point in
the crowd only to be called down by those
whose view it obstructed. In spite of this.

ORDERED 18TH HOME
ADJ. GEN. CORBIN WILL SEND 1T
HERE FROM FERNANDINA, FLA.
Col. Gunder and Lieut.. Col. Thayer
Reply for the 16Oth and 15Sth
Regiments.

The War Department in accordance with
the Presidents policy of reducing the vol
unteer army rapidly as possible. has
called on Governor Mount to designate what
| Indiana regiments are to be mustered out.
Immediately the Governor sent kilograms of
| inquiry to the colonies of the four regi-
ments that first went into service, inquir-
| ing as to the sentiment of officers and men
on the subject of being ordered home for
honorable discharge. A telegram was re-
ceived from Colonel Studebaker, of the One
-and-ffty-seventh Regiment now at
Fernandina, Fla, yesterday, which indi-
Gates that most of the enlisted men want
to be mustered out as soon as possible. 1t
said: I'm reply to your message, officers
are willing to await orders, but enlisted
men are almost unanimous in desire to be
mustered out. l think it due the men to
take them home.'' II
Immediately on receipt of the. telegram
from the colonel, the Governor designated
the One hundred-a nd-fifty-seventh Regi-
ment as the first to be sent home for mus
ter out and communicated this fact to the
War Department
Later in the evening the Governor received
the following telegram from Adjutant
General Corbin:
Agreeable to your request of yesterday,
the One-hundred-an d-fifty-seventh Indiana
has been ordered home for mastering out"
The understanding is that the One
hundred-and -fifty-seventh will 60 Into camp
at Camp n cunt. There will be a good deal
of formality in mastering out the men, as it
is understood the government will subject
them all to searching physical examinations
similar to those made at the time of en-
listment. In the future, when pension claims
are made, access to the double examination
papers will be had in. order to show wheth-
pension was contracted in service.
Colonel Gunder, of the Northumberland
sixtieth Indiana. evidently is of the mind
that the steps taken here to have his regi-
ment mustered out may be little prema-
ture, for he wired the Governor as follows
Indianapolis would be the proper place
to muster out when the government has no
further use for me, but not until then.
Lieut.. Col. Thayer, of the One-hundred-
and-fifty-eighth sent this telegram:
Telegram to Colonel Smith received. Re-
ports show seventy cases of sickness in the
regiment, Twenty-Five from fever and some
typhoid. We stand ready and willing to
obey all orders. Colonel Smith writes you
fully"
Governor Mount also received commune
cation yesterday from the Twenty eighth
Battery, signed by a committee or two
asking TO be mustered out at once, If pos
Sible. In the same hour a telegram was re-
ceived from Captain Rancke asking that
no attention be paid to the letter of the
men and requesting that the battery be
kept in service as long as possible He
| added that they were on ten days march.

Effects of Dead Soldiers.

A communication to the Journal dated
Waynetown. touches on army rules, as fol-
lows: IAN official at the government hos
pital at Old Point Comfort, Va, refuses to
return the effects of dead soldier to his
nearest relatives on the ground that the
effects must be sold at auction and the pro-
ceeds sent to the relatives in question. Is
that the law?"
Major NJ r. Peterson said in discussing
the matter last night that there is a fixed
rule in the regular army covering this point.
1t is that on the death of a soldier the
commanding ofncer in the presence of other
officers must make a complete inventory of
all the personal property of the dead sol
der filing a copy OF it with the adjutant
general at Washington. If after reason
able length of time has elapsed there is no
claimant for the property it is sold at public
auction and the proceeds kept as trust
fund for any relatives who may afterwards
appear. In Major Peterson's opinion, when
there is relative known to be living it is
not possible, according to law, to sell the
effects of any dead soldier.

At the Camp Last Night.

Camp Colgrove was point of general in
terest last night and the capacity of the
street-car service was taxed to carry all
who wished to visit the city of tents. The
camp, while of a military character in some
respects, was not under that restraint COM
mon to warfare, but was, on the contrary,
informal altogether. last night, although
there were certain lines within which Wis
itors were not permitted. The Knights were
all having a good time. At many of the
state headquarters there was singing and
story telling. The crowds passed through
the camp streets, finding many things to
interest them.
