BIG VOID IN THE TOWN
Missoula Misses Troop F More
Than Tongue Can Tell.
HOW THE BOYS GOT OFF
There's a Movement on Foot to Organ.
ize Another Volunteer Company of
Infantry in Case OF a Second
Call From Washington.

Missoula, May 24.-The departure OF
Troop + for the front has left the city
quiet and with a feeling that there is
a big void in the town that cannot well
be filled. The boys have been SO much
in evidence here I'm town for a couple
OF weeks that their going away makes
the place seem lonesome. That the
city is much interested i'm the troop
was amply evidenced by the demon
stration that was made In its honor
last night. Ii was the greatest turnout
that Missoula eve saw. Just how
near the crowd came 10 being disap-
pointed in Witnessing the departure OF
the troop last night was known to onIy
a few. but II was a close call. just the
same. superintendent Russell re-
turned from Helena on No. 3. the linn
tied, at $3.50 o'clock and found that the
people were assembling to witness the
going away OF the boys and that the
boys themselves We're getting ready To
GO. He found. however. that there had
been no order issued for the Transport
tation or the troop and he at once made
inquiry of the transportation Depart
ment as to what was to he done. He
asked shall we move them or not ?'
and the answer was shortly received.
Move them" That left but little time
for the starting of the train and the
consequent delay was due solely to the
neglect of the quartermaster's depart
ment TO order the transportation.
When the boys reached the station
there were so many good-byes To be
said and so many who wanted to see
the boys that some of them got mixed
up in the crowd and had IL not been
for the energetic efforts of Lieutenant
Hall some of the boys would have been
left. Everything was finally settled all
right. however, and the boys started
out attached to the tail end of "A 40-car
freight train. with the prospect of an
arrival i'm Butte at breakfast time this
morning.
Now that the regulars nave left the
city and the volunteers have followed.
there Is a movement o N foot for the or
ganization Of another company of vol
unteers. This will be an infantry
company and will be a sort of a home
guard unless there Is a second call for
troops. i'm which case this
viii be ready to go To the front. &. T..
Woodwork. ]. NJ. Evans. j. l.. Sloane
N others are the prime movers i'm
the matter. and they will have more
men han they need as soon as the
organization takes more definite form.
Missoula has had soldiers here so long
that IL will not seem like home unless
there Is a company. at least. here. The
prospective removal of the small de-
tail of regulars that is now at the fort
makes IL imperative that some sort or
a company he organized at once.

THE INSANE PATIENTS.
Proceedings Necessary in Matter O
Erroneous COMMITMENTS.

Commissioner Wight Saturday afternoon
had conference with DIR. Goddirg super
intendent of st. EliZabeths Insane Asylum,
and the attorney for the District, for the
purpose of determining in just what man
rer the patients in the asylum who were
committed under section 1851 of the Re
v.sed Statutes shall be surrendered to the
custody Of the District Commissioners in
order to secure their recommitment to the
asylum. These patients, about thirty six
in number. we've sent to the asylum with
out a hearing before jury, and such COM
nitments having been declared Illegal, the
Secretary of the Interior, as stated in The
Star, directed DR.. Godding to surrender
them to the custody of the Commissioners.
1t is understood that the patients will be
brought to the Office of the marshal OF the
District. few at a time, and there de-
livered over into the custody of some rep
resentative OF the Commissioners, where
iron an inquiry by a marshars Jury into
their rental condition will be at once
granted by the Equity Court, and the hear
iEg Immediately held. Such a course will,
1t Is believed, meet the requirements of the
situation, and their immediate recommit-
ment to the asylum will be secured. To do
this will require, 1t Is understood, an ex-
renditrre by the District of about 500, to
cover which amount deficiency appro-
priation will be necessary.

NATIVITY IN THE REBELLION.
Where Most of Our Troops Came
From.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the population statistics in the elev-
enth census may be found tables of the
nativity and ages of 1.03i 900 Union and
+:;2,G0G confederate soldiers and in addi-
ton of over 100000 northern and southern
WIDOWS. 1t is a matter of regret that these
tables were not completed to cover
the military history of all the survivors of
the late civil war living in 1890. 1t is of
record that the tabulation vas never COM
pleteo; but for ascertaining nativities and
ages. reports of over a million of men,
given by states. are nearly as valuable as
if double that number had been recorded.
In 1860 the native born of the loyal
states formed $40 per cent of the -popula-
ton, and the foreign-born 1870 per cent.
The late war was really a civil war, a
war of Americans with Americans. OF the
Cpion soldiers, over So in every 100 We're
American-born. and of those So, 10 were
not only born in this country, but born of
American parents. Men of foreign birth
(Many Of them brought here in in
fancy or YOUTH furnished only 16 2-3
per cent of our military strength. OF
the confederate soldiers, 96 Ito per cent
were to the manner born. Approximately
the same conditions were found among
the surviving widows of veterans as above
Indicated for surviving veterans them
selves, both Union and confederate.
Our pension list may be burdensomey
large, but five out of every six certificates
of pensions are bestowed upon the sons
and daughters of our native SOIL To her
own children our mother is indebted for
her preservation with all the widening

full meaning OF which will not be under

lington will then be a tenderer place. a
heller remembrance than now. Over its
arches the children of a generation of
wider possibilities bought for them by us
will read our only needed eulogy-"They
kept the Union whole''-and will wonder
that any of the generation that produced

The adjutant generals reports of but

AS they have never been tabulated, l am
not able TO use them for this article. The
following tables. showing the percentage of
citizens of foreign birth in the loyal states
in 1850 and 1880 may interest your readers
OK statistical turn of mind:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-03-28

IN The terrltories IN $50 the citizens of
foreign birth numbered but 35. i7G; in 1890
the same sections furnished IDS, Gil citizens
of alien nativity. Taking the country as a
whole, in 1860 the foreign-born citizens
formed 1920 per cent of the population;
in 1890. 14.U per cent.
The last six years of stringent times have
led many foreigners to return to their
former homes and reduced immigration
fully one-half; so that it is not improbable
that the census of l900 will show the ratio
of our foreign-born citizens to be lower
tkan that of 1S60 We have digested large
ly assimilated. Europe and slice of Asia
and the isles of the sea, and still remain
essentially an Anglo-Saxon nation. Future
decades will make more and more a
