east coast of Florida. 1t is contem-
plated to establish the headquarters OF
the corps at Jacksonville, where the
main body of troop, will be located,
hut regiments will be placed also at st.
Augustine, Miami and probably other
points. Lakeland as rendezvous
point probably will be abandoned for
the present. The four regiments at
thst point, all of which are embraced IN
the Fifth Army Corps, General Skaters
command, will be removed to Tampa.
The railroad tracks are almost BLOCK.
AIDED with cars and in consequence OF
the difficulty of switching many cars OF
commissary supplies are said to be spoil
ing on the tracks. Fifteen cars of ba-
con have already spoiled, it fs said.
The matter has become so serious that
the army surgeons have issued peremp-
tory orders to have the stuff removed
at once. Several tons of spoiled meat
have been pitched into the bay. Ma:
ior General Lea and his entire staff will
leave for Jacksonville tomorrow morn
ing.

A REPUBLICAN member of Congress
from Northern State, in an interview
last week, said: There was not claim
made by the republican managers in
1896, but that mas been fulfilled. The
SUCCESS of the republican admlnistrs-
lion has increased the confidence of the
republican party" Though these be
the days of barefaced effrontery, such
assurance as is possessed by the man
referred to, is monumental, and entities
him to e position on the top rung of his
party's political ladder.

REVIEW AT CAMP ALGER.

One of the most brilliant military pa
geants enacted since the grand muster
ing-out parade of the federal troops at
the close OF the civil war, occurred at
Camp Alger Saturday afternoon, when
President Mckinley reviewed the
troops now quartered there.
1t was the first time in over thirty
years that an army of volunteers, rem.
dezvoused in time of war, has passed in
review before the President, and the
demonstration attracted many thous.
ands from Washington and the sur
rounding country to the camp grounds
near Falls Church.
There were $4,000 troops in line. Be.
sides the President and Mrs. Mckinley
the reviewing party comprised Vice
President and Mrs. Hobart, Secretary
of War and Mrs. Alger, Secretary of
the Navy aud Mrs. Long, Gen. Miles
and staff, Congressman Swanson, of
Virginia; Col. Bingham, United States
army; Secretary and Mrs. Porter and
others.
Immediately on tbs arrival of the
Presidential party the line, $1,000
strong, began moving. The review
lasted more than two hours. The men
passed the presidential stand in COM
psny front, with arms at port. The
appearance of each regiment was fol-
lowed by yocifercus shouting. Through
out the review the President sat on a
platform in front of the stand. With a
few exceptions the volunteers made an
imposing appearance, and the review
ing party were highly pleased with the
result,

IT Is NOW proposed to double the
pay Of American soldiers who may be
sent to Cuba or the Philippine Islands.
Well may Senator Cullom say the taxes
m lde necessary by the present war will
be oppressive to even the great grand
children of the present generation; but
what good either this or succeeding
generations can possibly derive from
the war, neither the Senator referred
to, nor any body else can tell.

MONDAY EVENING, MAY 80, 1898.

Mr.. BoNAPARTE, famous mug
wump, of Baltimore, says: "The next
generation of Americans will be more
worthy of their freedom if their fathers
are men who answered their country s
call, and not men who found excuses
for leaving this call UNDECIDED" AS
Mr.. Bonaparte, though comparatively q
young man and fit for military service,
and, if privates' duty be disagreeable
to him, has money enough to procure q
commission, has not answered MS
country's call, he evidently doesn't
want his descendants to be more
worthy of their freedom.

A PEACE.MAKING GUN.-Mr. James
Rogers, citizen and gunsmith Of Gov.
ingtoD, Va, has invented and will soon
have completed what he calls a peact-
making gun. This gun, when COM
pleted, will, he claims, shoot three
thousand balls per minute; will be OPP
Grated by one man, and will shoot six
miles. The gunner will be protected
from the enemy's balls by armor.plate.
Mr.. Rogers claims this gun can be
shot with great accuracy, and that
me gun, operated by one man, will be
more than equal to one thousand SOL
ders. 1t can be used either as infantry
or cavalry gun, and will be splendid
for cleaning up field artillery. Mr..
Rogers expects to manufacture and sell
the gun to any one wishing to buy.
