TO LEAVE MONDAY.
The TWenty-SecOnd Regiment
Not Liable to Get Away
AS Soon As Expected.

The Twenty-second Kansas regiment
will not leave this city for Washington
this afternoon as expected. 1t will
move not later than Monday, and there
is a probability that the start will be
ordered tomorrow
General Passenger Agent Black of the
Santa Fe, who went to ST. Louis to
look after the contract for the trans
portation of the troops, wired last night
that the regiment would probably move
within "a hours after the bids were
opened by the quartermaster there,
which would be some time today. In
this event the regiment will leave this
city tomorrow afternoon.
Col H. c. Lindsey, in command of the
regiment, has expressed himself, how

ever, as preferring that the troops start
on Monday rather than Sunday, and it
may be that the regiment will not leave
here until Monday morning.
All arrangements for departure have
been made, and the troops can be in
readiness to march to the train in a
short time after an order is received.
1t is understood that the travel rations
for the regiment will arrive here this
afternoon.
The companies composing the Twen-
ty-second regiment, with the captains
commanding them, are as follows:
Company A, Parsons, Captain Haz-
zard.
Company B, Beloit, Captain Charles
worth.
Company c, Norton, Captain Parker.
Company D, Columbus, Captain Far
ell.

LOST UNIFORMS.
The State is Shy About 100 Suits Of
Soldier Clothes.

There are about 100 state militia uni
forms that will have to be paid for by
the captains of the respective Kansas
National Guard companies to whom
the uniforms belonged. They were worn
home by members of the guard who
failed to pass the examination before
being mustered into the service of the
United States, and are now lost to the
state.
Many of the volunteers who were
members of the Kansas National guard
came to this city with no other clothes
but their militia uniforms, and many
who brought other clothes here sold
them soon after they went into camp,
expecting to have no further use for
them When the medical examination
of recruits under the direction of the
United States mastering officer COM
menced, there were no instructions is
sued in regard to the return of uni
forms by the men rejected for service,
wore uniforms when rejected wore
them to their homes. There is now a
difference of about 100 suits between
the number OF uniforms receipted for
by the captains of the different compa-
mics and the number accounted for in
the statement of equipment of the vol
unteer companies.
When the call for volunteers was is
sued by Governor Leedy an order was
sent out by Adjutant General Allen
calling in all militia uniforms and sup
plies. This caused such general dis
satisfaction over the state that Cover
nor Leedy countermanded that portion
referring to uniforms, and the men were
allowed to keep their military clothes.
This has resulted in the loss Of the uni
forms.
Every militia uniform is valued at Sc,
and some of the former guard captains,
who are now officers in the volunteer
regiments, will eventually nave large
slice taken out of their salary from I'm
Gle Sam to pay for the lost soldier
clothes.

COWBOYS AT CHICAGO
Col Grigsby's Troopers Receive
Warm Reception.

Chicago, May 21-Col. Grigsby's cow
boy regiment arrived in Chicago from
Sioux Falls today. Large crowds greet
ed the train, and the locomotive slow
ed up to allow the crowds to exchange
compliments with the soldiers, who,
leaning far out of the windows, cheered
and waved flags and in other ways
demonstrated their appreciation of the
reception.
The train consisted of five passenger
coaches and eight stock cars. There
were two companies, containing alto
gether 1856 men. All were dressed in
regulation cowboy custom, broad SOM
breros, etc, with long lassoes strapped
to their sides. The train proceeded to
the stock yards to unload the cars and
give the tired men and their hardly less
wearied bronchos a chance to stretch
their limbs.
The troopers left this afternoon over
the Pennsylvania railroad for Chicka-
manga. They were only the advance
guard of Col. Grigsby's regiment. Three
other companies of the regiment, under
Lieut.. Col. Charles Lloyd, are now on
the way from Fort Meade, S D., to
Chickamauga, where they will join Col.
Grigsby. The remaining five troops will
follow in a few days, four of them COM
ing from Montana and one from Fargo,

volunteers arrived this morning from
eastern states. All night long trains
bearing troops were rushed into Oak
land, the last section arriving at about
o'clock this morning. Most of the
men spent the night in their berths, but
others spent the night walking around
the big pier, glad to stretch their limbs
after the journey across the continent
The troops from Kansas numbered
964 men and 43 officers, while Minnesota
sent a regiment of 982 men and 80 OIL
GERS. Colorado was represented by 9S6
stalwart warriors and AZ officers. One
section of the Utah special arrived,
bearing about 800 men. The remainder
of the troops from the Mormon state
will get in tomorrow.
When the men arrived on this slde
of the bay they were taken in charge by
the ladies of the Red Cross society,who
had been up all night preparing re
freshments for them. Each man was
served with sandwiches and coffee and
presented with a California rose. The
men were overwhelmed with kindness
and gave cheer upon cheer for the So
ciety of the Red Cross.
AS they marched up Market street on
their way to the old race track, now
known as Camp Richmond, they were
given a great reception by the people
who lined the sidewalks. AS they pass
ed the street corners the soldiers were
showered with flowers.
1t will take II hours of the hardest
kind of work to get the camp into mill

that everything will be arranged before

100000 FIRE.
Tenement Disaster fatally Injuries
Brooklyn Firemen.

New York, May 2.-There were two ser
ious CONGREGATIONS in Brooklyn early to-
day and at each one of them one fireman
sustained injuries that are likely to prove
fatal and several others were badly hurt.
One of the fires was in big frame tene-
ment row in Calyer street, which threat
ened the lives of many people asleep.
The monetary loss at this fire is esti-
mated at 800, 600.
In fire which broke out a little later
in a concert hall and saloon in Green
Point avenue, John Carter, a fireman,
came in contact with live wire, which
shocked him so badly that the surgeons
say he can scarcely recover. Fireman
Peter Hunts rubber boots were melted
where he stood in them, and one of his
legs was badly injured.

NO COAL FOR SPAIN.
French Islands Neutral Under
Utrecht Treaty.

Washington, May 21.-Omcials here
dismiss as pure invention the story
coming from Montreal that former
Minister Polo has succeeded in securing
for Spain a coaling station on one of
the French islands off st. Pierre and
Miquelon, off the Newfoundland coast.
The French embassy say the report
Is treated with indignant contempt, as
the French decree of neutrality is bind
ing on the French governor of these
islands and effectually prevents the
granting of such exceptional privileges
as coaling stations.
1t is not generally known that France
possesses these small islands in the
North Atlantic.
When the French gave up Canada
and Newfoundland to the British, it
was provided in the treaty of Utrecht
that France should retain the two is
lands of ST. Pierre and Miquelon, which
have since been utilized in cOaling sta
lions for French steamers.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 21.-All the
regiments in camp in Chickamauga
nave settled down to hard work and
are undergoing practical training in the
art of war. The businessIike methods

received. Indications now are that the
entire army will be equipped during the
next two weeks.
