OUR BOYS IN CAMP.
Co. f, 10Th Regiment, Fort
Washington, Md.
SEPT. 5, 1898.


The 18th Regiment expects to receive
it's August pay Tuesday, and to start
for Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa,
Thursday. Our good things seem to be
coming all in a bunch. Maj. Crawford
announced at dress parade Friday even
ing that we would move in few days,
and then later in the evening orders
came to move Thursday. Rumors are
. called bags" here and the --latest bag
is that we will march from camp to
Washington in.heavy marching order in
stead of goirrfon the boat This brings
the prosnet of blisters and sore should
ers. -<4nother bag is that we will be
mustered out at Middletown and that
recruiting officers will be there to en-
list those who wish to continue in the
service into the regular army. This
strikes us as being good arrangement.
It will give those warlike spirits who
are no anxious to 60 to Cuba after Spain
has surrendered chance to get there.
Then they can drill and do guard duty
and the mean little police and fatigue
jobs for three long happy years. They
can fill some little gods" water bar
rels, cut his grass. clean his walks. and
chop lis kindling wood to their hearts
content. Strenge it is that some who
expressed the greatest dislike for the
allowed named chores very loudly ex-
pressed themselves in favor of doing
garrison duty for the full term of our
enlistments. How do they make two
such expressions agree?
The court martial proceedings for
writing letters for publication were
not pushed in either case. Nc charges
were preferred within ten days after
arrest and the cases thus went by de-
fault. OF course the writers are deeply
penitent for partly expressing them
selves openly about their superiorsl
There are several names on Co. Els
sick roll at present, most Of them for
malaria, but none of the cases are at all
serious. Walter Mccormick, who has
been sick, will start for Butler within
the next few days. Will Sutton and
Fred Roessing went Saturday. Rob
Adams and Ed Livingstone went last
Thursday.
Privates Green, Ritter, Watson, Beat
ty and c. E. Smith have returned from
their visits home. Howard Marshall of
Butler, came in. with Smith yesterday
and experienced camp Sunday.
Armstrong, of Pittsburg, and June
Sutton spent few days with ms last
week. They found it very pleasant to
stretch out on our downy pine boards and
be lulled 10 sleep by our mosquito at
tendants. Those who return from visits
home say they sleep more soundly on
the tent floors than in the soft beds they
used long time ago.
Sunday morning Mr.. Howe conduct
ed church services in the glove. In the
afternoon the Battery boys, assisted by
Kid Williams of Buffers 81 club, play

The meeting of Friday afternoon was
presided over by State Senator Z. Z.
Kaufman of Columbia, who introduced
john Wanamaker as the first speaker
The ex-postmasteT general confined
himself mainly to pointing ott the
evils of the Quay machine,
setting forth in detail its allies as being
the corporations and national and state
office holders. E9 believes the only
way to bring about smaller taA63 on
farms and the building of better roads
was tho destruction of the machine,
which lac declared to be opposed to inn
proyements that would tighten tha
burden of taxation.
Under twenty distinct captions the
speaker enumerated what he called the
machine allies. Until within four or
five years ago he would not have be

gathered the facts for presentation III

the machine; told his hearers
the power 70 destroy lay
within their power; adyanc-
ed arguments showing the machine to
be inirnical to the interests of good gov
ernment, and said that in period OF
twenty years $5,OO0,0Q0 Of the state ;
money had been squandered; money
that would have relieved the common
people of part of their burden OF tax.

the building of the best kind of roads.

John J.. Flkin. Briefly summarized,

evaded the real questions at issue. He
said that personal abuse would not af-

In Switzerland they have commenced
making photographic clocks and
watches which, it appears. leave any
thing heretofore accomplished far IN
the shade. By merely pressing the but
ton of the new timepiece, it pronounces
the hour distinctly The alarms call to
the sleeper: Its SIX o'clock; get mp.
There are some which even add the
words: Now don't go to sleep again
The form can be changed to suit the
buyer and make the warning more or
less emphatic. This application OF the
photographic principle is due to a
French watch maker settled in Geneva.
He introduces into clocks and watches
little slabs of valcanized rubber, on
which the desired words are traced in
grooves corresponding to the hours and
fractions of hours.

The bill OF fret Importance in the
present session OF the fifty. first congress,
even taking precedence OF the infamous
McCleary bill, will be the Morgan bill
for the construction Of the Nicaragua
canal by the government. 1t is gener-
ally we'll known that a franchise was
granted by the countries Of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica some six years or mere
ago to a syndicate called the Maritime
company TO construct this work, that
the company has spent about tour mil
lions and a half dollars in actual effort
without accomplishing much and that
it's franchise expires next year unless it
goes on with the work which it cannot
do. The last war showed the necessity
Of this canal for maritime and govern.
mental purposes and the more important
fact OF the governments controlling the
canal. To secure this ownership and
control, and construct this canal the
Morgan bill has been introduced. 1t
provides for the construction Of the
canal by the government under the di.
rectlon OF engineer corps OF the army at
a cost not to exceed fll5,OO0,OOO, within
the next six years, aud devotes the mon.
ey received ia settlement OF the claims
OF the government against the Union
and Central Pacific railroads to this
purpose. 10 order to avoid any contro-
versy al to the right OF the government
to do this work under the present con-.
cession the existing Maritime company
is used as a dummy, but the bill stipu.
lates that all OF the officers and directors
shall resign forthwith and be succeeded
by a board Of elaven members, nine OF
whom shall be appointed by the presi-
dent OF the United States and one each
by the presidents OF Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. 1t is proposed to make the
capital stock OF the canal company
5loO,OOO,OOO. OF this s7O,OOO,OOO is to be
conveyed to the government OF the
United States, and the balance, 100000.
600, with s4,5OO,OOO 3 per cent bonds is
TO be issued to the stockholders and
creditors OF the present company and to
the governments Of Nicaragua and Costa
R,ca upon the understanding that they
surrender and redeem all stock and
bonds now outstanding and clean up all
liabilities, 60 that there shall be no
claims whatever against the government
or the recognized company.
1t Is provided that the net earnings
shall be used first to pay the interest on
the bonds at the rate of 3 per cent, and
second a dividend OF not to exceed 5 per
cent. upon the stock. The balance, il
any, is to be used as a sinking fund for
the redemption OF the bonds, which are
to be Cancelled as rapidly as possible. In
other words, the government Of the
United States Is to own 20 per cent. OF
the canal. Costa RIGA % per cent, and
the present stockholders 7 per cent.

old parties is necessitated by the fact
that If they should all lapse the govern.
