VOLUNTEERS AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Some st. Louis Privates Come With
Wallets.


Wallets.
Chattanooga Letter to New York Mail and
Express.
1t must be conceded, therefore, that the
volunteer army now in process of mobili-
cation at Chickamauga needs at least a
month of preparation before it can be
ready to sail for Havana or Porto Rico or
Cadiz. AS for the discipline and respect
for authority of some of these loyal and
fervent citizen soldiers, stories might be
told that would surpass belief 1 OBJ
served for time the disembarka ton Of a
Missouri regiment at Lytles station, at
the edge of Chickamauga park. Out the
men tumbled, grim and worn by their
journey. Some of the st. Louis privates
had Wallets, who groomed and brushed
them on the station platform. Excellent
IDEA! 1t reminded me of the duke of
Alvas march to the Netherlands, when
each of his 1000 soldiers was accompanied
by a servant to carry his arms Motley
does not record whether the 1000 SER
wants We're hired to do the fighting for
the 900 Spanish soldiers But there can
be no doubt about these lusty st. Louis
volunteers They'll do their own fight
ing and carry their own arms-as soon
as they are taught how.
The bearing of a corporal of this Mis-
souri, regiment was most impressive He
stood upon the step of car and shouted
to his captain
See here, Cap, when in blank will you
send me those extra men to carry the ex-
ira baggage out this car? There are ~
dpess-suit cases in here yet"
They always call them dress suits" In
ST Louis and Chicago, you know, and they
save time in those cities by changing
clothes in cabs while driving from office
to dinner
The st. Louis captain looked worried
over this crisis of the war. Keep your
collar COOL" he shounted to the corporal
"IH send the men as soon as l can"
Probably the corporal had the advantage
of his captain In st. Louis society. He did
shouted back: well. blankety blank, 1
want those men blankety quick" And he
got the men in a hurry.
Now looking at this conversation Sc
riously. one can see that the corporal was
trying zealously and honestly, to serve
his country by saving those precious dress
suit cases before the empty train was
sidetracked The captain was imbued with
equal patriotism and moved by democratic
sympathy. But no prophecy is needed to
predict that this coloquy will not occur
a month hence.
All this is written in no spirit of de-
probation of the volunteers. The large
percentage of their mass that has been
recruited from the state militia makes
many of them familiar with at least the
form and the spirit of military snbordina-
ton and obedience They can be MADE
into the best, the most efficient military
force in the world. But that must take
time. The incident I have just quoted,
moreover, must not be accepted as typical.
1t was extreme, abnormal exceptional. Its
humor was wholly unconscious, and it is
cited here as much to indicate the sincere
earnestness of the volunteers, rank and
file. as their undrilled harshness.

has arrived at the conclusion that there is

to a fuss long before the improved hand
ling of the old discovery had got beyond
the laboratory stages Big brains are now
working upon it,, and, "a due course. a
practical method of utilizing the discovery
will probably be forthcoming. Prof. Oliver
Lodge, for instance, says he has an entire

depend upon waves, but upon magnetism
which is independent of obstacles; and he
believes it will be applicable to signaling

SERIOUS HOTEL FIRE.
New York Hotel Burned, with Probably
Fatal Results.

Gloversville, Feb. 3.-The Alvord
house, a fve-story brick building. was
destroyed by fire between Z and s
O'Clock this morning. Six persons
perished in the flames, and dozen
others were more or less injured in
making their escape. The dead are:

DYING BY HUNDREDS.
A Narrowing Tale Comes From the
Newfoundland Coast.

New York, Feb. 2.-The Red Cross
line steamship Portia arrived today
four days overdue from st. Johns, N.

hundreds more threatened with like

Portia.
The Portia was penned in by huge
Arctic foes in plain sight of ST. Johns
unable to move. She managed to es-
cape by the merest accident.
Many other craft, several of them

government to succOr destitute fisher
men, had to abandon their errands of
mercy and return to st. Johns, where
they were still in the ice when the Por-
tia struggled into clear water.
Among the detained fleet at ST..
Johns were a dozen or more sailing
vessels loaded with Goldfish for England
and Brazil.

Sale of KIondike Claims.

One of the biggest deals on record in
Klondike mining properties was con-
summated in Seattle last week. Six
claims, located on Bonanza, Sulphur,
Dominion, All-Gold creeks and French
gulch changed hands. The total
amount involved in the transaction
was between $4,000 and 5000, 900.
No definite terms have been made pub
lie, both parties to the deal withhold
ing this information.
The purchasers are Il. j. McCune, of
Salt Lake, Utah, and Eugene ]. Short,
of Spokane. They are acting for them
selves and for Spoakne and New York
parties. Mr.. McCune is brother of
A. w. McCune, the millionaire Mon
tana and British Columbia mining
man, owner of the Payne silver mine,
in British Columbia. He is also asso-
ciated in number of mining properties
with Marcus DAILY and w. L. Hoge,
well known in mining circles in Butte
and Anaconda.
Chris Neebur and Carl Hunt are the
sellers. Neebur is an Iowa boy, and
Hunt mined for several years in the
Kootenay and Oregon before going to
Alaska. Neebur was four years in the
Yukon country, and Hunt spent three
years there. Both were in the Klon-
dixie early in the spring of 1897, before
the stampede from the states. They
secured number of valuable claims on
the principal gold-bearing streams in
the camp. After taking out a large
quantity of gold from No. 8, above dis
covery on Bonanza, they sold a half
interest in the claim for $50, 900.

CAUSED BY BRUTALITY
Sailor Taken OF the stetson n Dav,r.
Maniac.

Portland, Or, Feb. Aft the story
OF John Burke, who came around the
morn on the American ship Geo. Stet-
son IN the capacity of sailor, can be
Oei.leved, the officers of this shin are
eulity OF the most barbaric cruelties
'hat nave been reported at this port in
many a day. The Stetson arrived ut
Astoria with cargo of coal Thursday
Deihg "a days out from Baltimore
where she took on cargo. Cantnin
murphy is in command, and George
Harvey is first officer.
The victim of the brutahty of the
oihcers, and especially that of First
Mate Harvey, is seaman named Amos
stone, son of wealthy iewelry mer-
cnant OF Boston. Stone is said to have
been taken off the Stetson at Astoria A
ravlng maniac, having arrived at this
condition as result of the treatment
he received on the voyage.
Stone was singled out as the special
OBJECT OF Harvey's brutality soon after
we left Baltimore" said Burke in
narratlng his story. Harvey, for
some reason, Knocked him insensible
with an iron top maui, and as the rest
OF us feared we would be treated like
wise we were at the point OF turning
back four hours after we left port. As
soon as we saw what had happened,
we scampered up the masts to turn to.
The mate, however, Informed the can
tain, who bullied us into remaining
with the ship.
Stone, as result of the injury he re.
celved, was laid up for some davs. dur
ing which time he was given but little
to eat. As soon as he had recovered
sufficiently to venture out and report
for duty, Harvey kicked him off the
forecastle. From that time on Stone
was unable to leave his cabin. He
was starved and beaten almost daily
and by the time we reached Astoria he
was skin and bones and raving man
lac. As we We're rounding the Horn.
where the seas were very bad, Harvey
would open the door of stones cabin
so as to let the water in to soak his
clothes and bedding. | have also seen
Harvey open the door to stones cabin
and with heavy leather strap beat
him until big welts stood out on his
legs and back. Stone, who was al
ready losing his reason, would not
vince under this scourging and stood
like statue, without saying word in
remonstrance. An effort was made to
obliterate the marks on stones body
before the ship reached Astoria, but
without success, and he will carry the
marks with him to the grave. During
much of the time that Stone was
cooped up in his cabin he had nothing
but refuse to eat and the place was the
most foul smelling l was ever in. He
was abused like dog even during the
time he was in irons. 1t made me sick
to look at him, even as accustomed as
l am to see displays of brutality on the
high seas"
Burke's story is corroborated in ev-
cry detail by Ernest Weyl, Ira Dierks
and Charles Russell, three others of
the crew.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER,
Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.

VI tue w Oflus
Last week was very important one
in the Chicago wheat market. May
wheat advanced 6 cents per bushel and
January 3 cents. Statistics were all
in favor of high prices, but the main
feature is the Letter corner. He
claims to be able to put May wheat to
Sl.2a. The exports from both coasts
to Europe were very large-5, 110, ,624
bushels, and the visible supply showed
u Very good decrease. The foreign
news situation is as bewildering as it
usually is on wheat. Spectators have
their eyes on Argentine, not because it
contributes so much, but because it
sells so furiously the 25,00o,O 900 BUSH
els it has to contribute. The English
men at Liverpool learned something
during the week to make them nervous
about the South American supplies,
yet direct Rosario cables reported moth
ing more serious than a cessation of de-
liveries because of rains, and the Ar
gentne shipments for the week were
32S, 900 bushels, a big start SO soon
after harvesting. The -four people
talked dolorously of the demand and of
the demoralizing effect of the corn
adulteration going on; and then, to
make this as puzzling as every other
feature, Minneapolis reported 200,0
barrels of flour sold in two days. The
winter wheat condition so far is high,
and recent heavy SHOWS have minim-
lied the danger for the present. Ex-
ports keep large, and new purchases for
foreign account small. The movement
from first hands is away over any ex-
pectation, but the supplies of contract
wheat everywhere are in such few
hands as to be unavailable and in most
markets at startling premiums. Janu-
ary wheat at New York for few min
utes was 10 cents cash at Chicago and
II cents over the May price at New
York. All of which should be new
proof that no one can tell very much
with any certainty about subject
which involves the supplies and needs
of the whole world.
