TROOPS EN- ROUTE HOME.
Sick Soldiers of the Eighth New

Buffalo. N. z, Aug. 30.-Two hundred
and sixty soldiers of the Eighth New
York Volunteers, arrived in this city at
> o'clock this morning, over the Lake
Shore road, on their way home from
Chickamauga Park.
Many of the men were too sick to
leave the cars but those who were able
to walk about and eat were served with
a lunch prepared for them by a number
of patriotic women of this city. The
women had spent the greater part of the
night at the railroad station waiting for
the train. They had coffee and sand
wiches for the soldiers
Capt. George W Lindheim, of New York

He said ten of the men were dangerously
sick. He thought most of the sick would
reach New York city all right. although
not more than fifty of the men would be
able to walk to their homes. The others
will be moved from the train in car
riages and ambuances. Many of the
men complained of their treatment in the
camp at Chckamauga. They said the
officers were ignorant and careless.

Because of their knowledge of his hostii-

to assent to this and will insist upon the
people electing new king of their selec-

The chances are that the question of

among the three protectorates are likely
to arise.
1t must be admitted that Germany has
much greater commercial interests in Sa-

Milwaukee, Aug. 30-At the Wisconsin
State Democratic convention it is proba-
BILE that the Chicago platform and Bryan

in quiet way and will not be the most

fight between the parties in the coming

The recent disclosures in the State

campaign material and will be used for
all they are worth.

BILE comparisons and this has reused
Pecks S friends into activity that they
would not have displayed under ordi-
nary circumstances. The administration
of the humorist is bright spot in the
Democratic history OF the State, and they
resent the imputations.
In yesterday primaries Ryan carried

far is in the lead throughout the State.
He is the machine man, and his cam

s. Rose, of Milwaukee, who is credited
with having his eyes on the sanatorship
in case his candidate comes out victori-
Gus.
The recent Republican State conven-
ton omitted reference to territorial ex-
pansion, but it is understood that the
Democrats will indorse the prevailing
sentiment in Wisconsin that nothing be

There is considerable opposition to the

silver, but it will not sufficiently develop

Relatives and friends began to gather
at the station as early as II = M, and
they were joined by others later ia the
day until there were at least 209o men and
women, all anxious to take home With
them some soldier who had been Ill at
camp.
While the crowds were impatiently
awaiting the arrival of the train, which
was considerably detained, many women
were thrown into tears by rumors that
several men had died on the way
No Deaths on the Trip.
There was a great sigh of relief among
the anxious throng when a soldier in the
first car. which pulled in at 1850. said that
not a man had died on the trip.
The police under Capt. Young. were un-
able to keep all of the anxious friends
back when the train of fourteen cars ar
rived. and the hospital surgeons had some
difhculty in removing the more seriously
SICK from the cars to the ambuIances
Inc majority of the men had no COM
plants to make. There were several who
ana not disguise that they thought they
had been badly treated.
One soldier in particular. who said he
was a member of Company c. declared

that he had had nothing to eat for three
days except what some women gave him.
