The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1898-05-24

SAN ANroNIo, Tex, May e2. The
young bloods OF New York are making
good soldiers They are obeying
orders with rare fidelity, but struggle
as they may, it is apparent 70 the most
casual observer that those members Of
the rough riders who were recruited
from the clubs and parlors Of New
York are finding the preparations for
war suggestive OF anything but cider
down and lavender scent.
The battery Of rapid-hre guns has
been out for practice. The drilling
has been done under the command Of
Woodbury. Kane, first Lieutenant OF
Troop X OF the Third squadron. This
dignity came 10 Mr.. Kane day before
yesterday, and he is filling II with
credit. Woodbury. Kane is becoming
as proficient in directing "a battery as
he was in leading a cotillion.
This battery is conspicuous for the
aristocratic tone OF its officers Max
well Norman, of Boston, is the first
sergeant; Hamilton Fish, Jr., OF New
York, is second sergeant, and Craig
Wadsworth, OF New York is first
corporal.
q Young Ham Fish always displayed
talent for war, but not for discipline
Ever sinee he got into lsnickerbockers
he exhibited a martial spirit that
broke out ia the most uneN peeted
places. Because a his uudisciplined
temperament doubt was entertained
as TO his success in the service 81 Uncle
Sam. Even the temperature OF san
Antonio cannot repress him wholly.
The other night Fish met some Of
the local blOods. Some time after
midnight Fish suggested that instead
Of the sidewalk they take the middle

procession had not gone far when il
eollided with o buggy containing a
stout German and his three plump
daughters. The odds were against
Fish, not Only In numbers and avoirdu-
pois, but in discipline. The force Of
the collision sent him 10 earth. The
horse kicked him and the buggy ran
over both his legs, bruising his ankles.
Corporal Craig Wadsworth is attract

OF the citizens Of San Antonio never

These legs form a perfect parenthe-

THE sense of hearing is developed in the modern telegraph operator to an abnormal degree, owing to his use of the typewriter in his work. In former years when he copied his message with pen and pencil his ears were accus- toned to only the sound of his tele graph instrument. With the use of the typewriter he must distinguish be- tween the sharp clicks of the sounder and the almost similar rattle of the typewriter. An old operator says that with little practice in the use of the typewriter along with the telegraph instrument the distinction is easily made, and the operator soon ceases to notice any similarity of the sounds.

THE cOnferees who had been trying for three months to reach an agreement on the points of difference between the bankruptcy bill passed by the senate and the bankruptcy bill passed the house succeeded this week. This bill as agreed upon, which will almost cer- tainly become a law, provides for both voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy, being especially lenient towards the debtor in providing for bringing about the latter.

THOSE democrats who had party caucus of members of the House called for the purpose of making opposition to the annexation of Hawaii party ques- tion were speedily convinced that such action would not do: so they compro- missed by the adoption of a resolution declaring annexation to be dangerous and unwise by vote of 5O to l7. Had all the members of the party absent from the caucus been present and voted against the resolution it could have been defeated. The House adopted the joint resolution providing for the an- nexation of Hawaii by vote of 2lO to 92, and President Mckinley is quoted as saying that the senate must do like wise before he will give his consent to the adjournment of congress. Fifty-six senators are committed to annexation.

Elijah B. Tunnel. who was killed on
board the Winslow in Cardenas har-
Dor, was not only a good sailor. but an
important man to his people. His
widow, Eliza j. Tunnel, follows Mrs.
Hook as second on the list of appli-
cants. A little further down the list
comes Sarah Tunnel, who claims a
pension as the dependent mother of
Elijah b. In the investigation to fol-
low the claim of the widow will be first
considered. Frank Randall, the late
chief engineer of the Hugh McCulloch,
furnishes another instance of double
applications. His mother and his minor
children have applied for pensions on
account of his death
Two applications have come in from
the Richmond, Oscar L. Rose as an in
valid sailor, and Margaret Walker, the
widow of Charles w. Walker.
The tragic death on the Brooklyn, the
only death to occur in the famous de-
struction of Cervera's fleet, is already
recorded in the Pension Office It will
be remembered that George H. Ellis,
while standing within two feet of Com
1nodore Schley during the memorable
chase of the Cristobal Colon, had his
head taken off by a shell. The instance
was mentioned in Commodore Schley's
report to Admiral Sampson, except

of the Bureau of Pensions, where all
await the completion of the records
necessary to their adjudication. Up
to date about hundred applications
have come in, and for the present all
sleep together. All pension applica-
tons have to be referred to the War
Department for the record of the SOL

and the records of the soldiers are very

The Pension Office has plenty of

include applications for original pen

The creation of division to handle
this class CT pensions will not involve
any increase in the Pension Office force.
That force was fixed by the law which
went into effect on July 1. The new di-
vision will be made UP of clerks de-
tailed from old divisions.

Among the applicants for invalid

James Quincy of the Wabash.
The only high officer of the army in
whose name a pension has been asked
