ISDIASAPoLIs, Ind, Sept. b--Colonel
Studebak RS ''Tigcrs." the One Hun
dred and Fifty-scventh Indiana volun
tncrs. reached here from the South
yesterday morning.
There are 1870 hospital patients, and
two were unable to march-two dead
bodies were brought home. They were
those OF Clifton Lowell OF Fort Wayne
and william Snyder Of Maysville.
Robert Darling Of Elkhart died as the
train pulled into the station. All
were privatcs.
Colonel S~tudebaacr said: This is
not the same regiment l took away
from Indianapolis last May. The per-
sonality l., the same, but it is made up
% a different lot of men. They nave
fever in their very bones; they are
hungry aud their strength Is wasted.
1t is all due to the c~esspools in which
we lived in the South. When the men
left indianapolis they were strong and
showed their hardness. They were
all right when we left C~hickamauga
park.
Port Tampa there Is the most
God-forsakcn. Notwithstanding spot

tion Of my men to 1t and to the condi-
tions surrounding it. For weeks we
were in camp there. exposed to the
fevers and the %uurclcnting sun Of
Florida. We have not been in the
shade Of n tree since last June. 1t
was Il happy day for US when we re,
ceivcd orders to leave there. But
when we moved we did not better our
condition much. The fevers followed
US, and, day by day, the regiment be
came weaker. At I~crnandina we had
the same difficulty to obtain proper
food. The United States authorities
seemed willing enough to provide US
with what we needed, but Fernandina
Is such an out-of-the-way place that
it is difficult to reach IL. One railroad
runs to the town.
"Whcn men who have been investi

camps say we have not been in aetna

they do not know what they are
talking about. My men cannot march

The officers of Colonel Studebakcr'

A MILLION IN PRIZES
VICTORIES NET FORTUNES
TO


WAsuISoroS, Sept. at least one
million dollars in prize money will be
distributed among American sailors as
a result OF the war with Spain. More
than onc-half OF this sun will be paid
in accordance with that section OF law
providing for the payment VI a bounty
for persons on board vessels Of war
sunk in action. The rest will be turned
into tho treasury for distribution by
the courts which shall pass upon YES
sells Of the enemy captured by Ameri-
can m~en-of-war.
From the official report OF Admiral
Montojo, commanding the Spanish
feet sunk at Manila, there were 1875
persons on board the ships under his
command. The Spanish fleet was of
inferior force to the American squad
ron, and Rear Admiral Dewey's men
will, therefore, only get 500 for each
person.
II is estimated that the aggregate
amount due the Asiatic fleet as u re.
suit OF the destruction OF the Spanish
forces amounts to Sis7, 500, which Con-
grcss will be asked to appropriate dur.
ing the coming session. One TWEEN
tieth Of this sum belongs to Rear Ad-
miral Dewey, as commandcr-in-chicf.
and he will, therefore, b, 1878 richer
than he was before the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized
n snug little fortune as n result of the
$500. -nh;af - a.
North Atlantic fleet ho will get one
twentieth Of every prize taken in
North Atlantic waters and one-twen-
ticth OF the head money allowed for
the vessels destroyed off Santiago ana
in Cuban ports. II is estimated that
he will finally receive about sio,O 900 us
his share OF the priz. money.
In determining the AMOUNT of head
money due officers and men IL will be
necessary for the department to de-
eide whether a vessel destroyed was
inferior or superior to her antagonist.
IL the latter the American ship will
be entitled to 5000 for each person on
board the enemy's vessel. OF course
this will swell the amount Of money
due the rear admiral.
IL Is estimated that, including the
Mercedes, sunk by the Massachusetts,
mt the mouth Of the harbor at Santi-
ago, there were 2,+93 persons on board
the Spanish fleet destroyed by Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS command, which
was superior to the enemy and the
amount of hcan money due the fleet
will consequently aggregate s249, 200.
Besides these ships Spanish men-of-
war were sunk ct Manzanillo, Nipe
and other points along the Cuban
coast, the destruction OF each OF which
means prize money for tho officers and
men participating in the work.
Legal officials of the department
will be required to determine whether
merchant vessels carrying guns in
their hold, like Santo Domingo, which
was sunk by the Eagle, come within
the meaning of the section providing
for the payment Of bounties for per
sons on board. The result of these
questions will be to delay the adjudi
cation Of the amounts due to officers
and men Interested,

 TIMELY CHAT @p a6 BOOKS AND AUTHORS 


 It is understood that MT. Gladstone has chosen John Morley as his biog- rapher and literary executor, and that many of his leterS and private papers , have recently been sent to MT. Morley. It would be impossible to conceive of a man better qualified in every way to undertake the important and delicate task. of writing the life and editing the literary reviews of the distinguished statesman.
 The lot of the average minor poet is assuredly not happy one. Editors, as a rule, will have none of his effusions; but, all the same he produces volume Cat his own expense) to let the world judge of his muse. Then h, usually presents copies of the book to all and sundry. But how are these gifts re- cefved by those 'in the profession?' In a recent issue of Longman's Magazine :: Mir. Andrew Lang tells us how he deals with the great mass of the works of this class received by him. He places them carefully away in his wi~stepaper basket, and he mentions that it was Matthew Arnold's practice to present such offerings to the hall porter of his club! This recalls the anecdote of t, gentleman who, being asked if he was acquainted with Barry Cornwall's' poems, claimed that he was. having shaved right through them"
 
 ': The current number of the Atlantic Monthly contains an interesting article dealing with the question Can cler- gyman be a good fellow?' The arti- cle, though short, is well worth reading. The writer says, that from all those :. clerics: whom he has met he gets an : >ifrpression that can only be described ,~ as slightly pathetic,' and that the clergyman by a common and wholly amiabe. impulse is generally patron ized. That may be the case in Boston, but hardly think these statements are applicable to .clergymen resident in the Western States of this continent. As matter of fact, it may be suggested /. that men: in holy orders should not place themselves in positions where their profession is regarded in. pa tronizing way. Their presence in cer- :. tain. places acts as a brake upon ot 1ere : assembled, and '-- ny are the stories told of the contretemps which have ; arisen by reason of this. Truly, there is much room for speculation as to what the complex result may be when a clergyman is characterized by his fellow men as a 'good fellow
