Idaho and Utah Volunteers TO Como Homo Shortly

A Washington special to the Salt
Lake Tribune, dated Decom Der 10, says;
In making recommendation for the
discharge of an Idahoasoldier now ill at
Manila, Senator ShOup has been in
formed by the War department that
owing to the probability of very early
general muster out of the volunteers in
the Philippines it has been determined
by the War Department to make no
more individual discharges. 1t is the
general expectation that the Utah and
Idaho volunteers at Manila will be
ordered for muster out very soon after
the opening of the new year.

The Boise Bogus Fill Passsr Declines TO Make

John Floyd, who was arrested by
United States Marshal Ramsey on the
charge of attempting to pass raised
bills, yesterday stated to United States
Commissioner Jonas w. Brown that he
was guilty. Prisoners are not required
to plead before the committing magis-
trate but they may do so if they desire.
Floyd pleaded guilty, said he would
waive examination and refused the
tender of counsel. Commissioner
Brown, however, decided to take the
testimony of the witnesses for the gov
eminent Notwithstanding Floyd's
waiver.
The accused man refused to make
any statement excepting that he was
guilty. All efforts to obtain informa7
ton as to who were connected with
him in the business proved futile. He
is an uncouth youth of perhaps 20
years. His appearance is that Of an
unsophisticated farmer boy and one
that could easily be pumped" But
appearances proved deceitful. He
greeted all efforts to bring him out
with sphynix like silence. From all in
dicati6ns she is merely a tool in the
hands 8f clever swindlerS, who have
taught him that SILENCE is golden.
Several witnesses were examined by
the commissioner in addition to the
Chinaulan whom Floyd attempted to
swindle. The evidence was to the eff
feet that when the raised bill was pre-
scented the Chinaman scrutinized it
before reaching down for the change.
He detected the. fraud and told Floyd
the bill was bogus. FLOYD insisted
that he should have his change and an
alteration followed. Several people
who overheard the conversation corro-
borated the Chinaman's statement.
Commissioner Brown held Floyd to
the next term of the United States
court. fixing his bond at $1,000. Mar

him madden than anything else was the
fact that although almost all the passes
were bogus. it was almost impossible to tell
which we're the bad ones. Each one had
the signature of Colonel Sherman, Colonel

and the signatures were almost fae-similes.

passes The latter met him with:

The First Alabama.

The First Alabama has been landed In
Miami, the new jumping off place in Flor
ida. 1t is doubtless headed for Santiago
or San Juan, or later on, Havana. 1t is
regiment destined to a great and honorable
career. It is made up of good men-the
flower of this section of the state. But 1T
needs more men,
The war record of North Alabama has
thus far been an enviable one, and it should
be maintained. 1t can best be maintained
by sending on, while the regiment re-
mains in Miami, enough men to fill every
company to the maximum limit. Perhaps
three hundred additional men are needed
certainly two hundred. Young men who,
desire to take part in the great campaign
in Cuba under the best possible circum-
stances should join without delay the First
Alabama regiment. Colonel Higdon and his
brother officers will take good care of
them. It is no longer a raw, green regi-
ment. Tits fast nearing the efficiency and
skill of a regiment of regulars.
preference should be given the FIRST Ala
bama until its ranks are filled. The Age
Herald is now appealing to North Ala
bamians. The First Is their own regiment,
in the sense that no other regiment is.
Fill every company In 1t, for every one of
the twelve is a North Alabama company.
Patriotic men and patriotic organizations
in the entire upper half of the state should
give the subject attention. One weeks &C.
tive work will bring in enough young men
to fill this splendid regiment to replet!on.
1t surely will be done, but remember that.
the regiment is where it may be ordered
to embark in one hours time, and no time
should be lost in sending on the needed re-
cruits.

HENRY VI.
The Hawaiian Debate.

The policy of obstruction Is again In
coded that majority-a large majority
are in favor of the Hawaiian resolutions as
they came from the house. Both of Ala
bamas senators favor them, and so do
McLaurin, of South Carolina, and many
more of both parties and all sections.
Nearly two-thirds of the senate are in ia
vor of Hawaiian annexation. But vote
cannot be had.
The question is not considered on party
lines. This is plainly shown in the atti-
tude of the Vermont senators. Mr.. Nor
rill, who once opposed the annexation of
Texas. is now opposed to the annexation
of Hawaii, but Senator Proctor, his col
league and an uneompromising republican,
is an ardent annexationist. 1t is not
party question, and cannot be made one
1t comes upon Its merits.
Practically the anti-annexationists are
pleading for delay. They say the entire
matter should so over until the close of the
war permits the country to determine CO.
lonial, or rather, island questions But
the other side urge that immediate annexa-
ton is a military and diplomatic necessity
and thus the questions involved in the
subject in the past are eyaded as they
very well may be, for they have been
threshed over many times.
The truth is, there should be a vote and
action in the senate. The policy of OBJ
struction settles nothing. and long siege
III the senate in hot weather is neither
pleasant to the senator's nor profitable to
the people. Discussion VIII throw no light
upon the subject A vote must be taken
sooner or later, and the people are tired of
senatorial tactics. Let the matter come to
a vote at once. Delay will help neither
side, neither party neither the United
States nor Hawaii. A vote in June Is bet
ter than a vote in July and still better
than vote in August, and any one of them
is better than a vote next January. OBJ
sAructive tactics may have their uses and
opportunities, but in a question that is not
End cannot be made party issue, they are
out of place. There should be immed-
late vote.

SHORT STORIES
OF THE DAY

why:Representaiive Mcclellan Did Not Speak
Representative George B. Mcclellan of
New York and ex-Secretary of the Navy
Hilary A. Herbert were the orators at the
commencement of the graduating class of
the Virginia Military Institute at Lexlng-
ton last week. The exercises were held the
day before the house voted on the New
lands resolution providing for the annexa-
tian of Hawaii, and as Mr.. Mcclellan was
booked for a twenty-minute speech against
the measure they left the institution at the
close. of the affair for a night drive to
Buena Vista, The nearest railroad station
at which they could catch the train that
night for Washington, rela,es the New orr
Sun All went well until the party reached
a point which the dafkey driver said was
two miles from Buena Vista. Here the
nigh horse of the team baked, proha-
bly, being an eight-hour animal and con-
stitutionally opposed to working overtime.
However that might be. balk he did. and
suasion, moral and physical, failed to move
him.
There was nothing for it, if they did not
want to spend the night in the Virginia
woods, but to tramp, and after receiving
specific directions from the driver they
started. Then a new difficulty presented
itself. Mr.. Herbert has a weak heart, and
the unwonted exercise and the strange
ness of the situation SO wrought upon him
that the gentlemen were unable to pro-
coed more than a quarter of a mile with
out stopping to rest. The hour of mid
night came and went, and still no town ap-
-
they had taken the wrong road somewhere,
and Enthusiastically were lost. Efforts to
arouse the inmates of two or three farm
houses they passed were unavailing, and
they were in the depths of despair. Sud
denly their hopes were aroused by the s5und
of wheels. They proved to be those of a
buggy containing single occupant. He
was accosted and appealed to TO give the
weary wanderers a lift.
1 "Who are your he inquired suspiciously.
81 am ex-Secretary Herbert the good
man from Alabama said, land this is the
Hon. George B. Mcclellan, representative
from the state of New York"
That might have been convincing in the
immediate suburbs of Washington, but the
honest Virginia yeoman, failed to be i'm
pressed.
1.-The dickens you arel" he responded,
and, whipping up his horse, drove on
In the meantime the recalcitrant animal
in the Lexington team came to his senses
and permitted himself to be driven into
Beuna Vista. Finding that his passengers
had not put in an appearance, the co4ored
Jehu organized a relief expedition and
started back In search of them. Good for
tune directed him to the whereabouts of
the beated travellers, and just as the first
CLINT of the dawn peered over the hills they
were made glad by the coming of the team
and the ending of their strange experience
That is the reason why Mr.. Mcclellan
didn't make his anti-anneXaton speech
and why Mr.. Richardson was called upon
to explain that if he had been there he
would have voted against the resolution.
But the general leave to print preserved
to literature and posterity that twenty
minute speech.

MIR. CLEyELAND'S IDEAS

From the New York Sun.
The ideas of the Hon. Grover Cleveland
on war national expansion, annexation,
and the duties of American citizenship gen
orally, are purely photographer. They
are conceived in the past tense; and not in
the present or the future. They come from
the mouth of an historical object, and an
historical object only. They are merely a
record preserved on the cylinder of pho
nograph, and they have no relation to the
stirring events of contmporaneous Ameri-
can life and activity, or to the glorious OPP
portunities now opening to American
craftsmanship. 1t is a speaking death
mask that is all. What a curious cir
cumstance that Mr.. Lawrence Hutton s
gift to Princeton of his celebrated collec-
ton of death-masks and the Hon. Grover
Cleyeland's bequest of himself to the same
university should have occurred almost

AIabama RepubIicans Fall Out

From the Gadsden Times News.
A fourteen-page pamphlet, signed by
'W. L. Taylor" on "Official Corruption
in Alabama" is being circulated in con-
gress. 1t severely roasts the judicial and
other officials of the middle Alabama dis
trict, critieizes the proceedings of the late

crimes against Marshals Bryan and Sim
mons and Auditor Youngblood, and makes
some lively exhibits. Alabama republicans
are very angry over it. Alabama demo-

The Seize of SANTIAGO.

General Skaters rn,y has been SUCCESS
fully landed at Daiquiri, a port seventeen
miles from MORO castle, and about half of
that distance from a railroad leading to
wharves near Moro in one direction, and
to iron-ore mines in the other. He is thus
near the scene of operations, and supplies
can be readily moved to the front. The
landing of field and siege guns and of sup
plies and ammunition will now go on
steadily and rapidly.
In the meanwhile the troops, carrying
| three days rations, and having the aid and
cooperation In every way of the insur-
gents, will proceed to find the line of de-
fense The landing is an encouragement;
the task is well begun, but opposition of
the sternest nature will surely be en-
countered when the troops approach the
inc CT defense, wherever whatever it
may be. To find it and test it is the next
| task in hand
If General Pando, who was in command
of the Spanish forces at Hoguin, a point
about one hundred miles distant, has sue
ceedcd in reaching the lines of General
Linares at Santiago the latter has at least
1000 men in his command; and a slow
siege, looking to capitulation on account
of starvation, may be the wiser course. If
the soldiers in Santiago are to be starved
into submission, tho more there are in the
city the quicker the desired result will be
reached.
All theories of the siege are, however,
purely speculative, and days events may
unset the best OF them. General Shafter,
aided by the insurgents, will soon know
what the situation is, and the wary Indian
fighter can be trusted to do what is best
under circumstances as he finds them. He
has fully-equpped army of invasion at
his back; the cable in Guantanamo bay is
in good working order, and he can order on
whatever be lacks now may lack at any
time in the future All anxiety as to his
safety, or to the outcome of his efforts,
may as well be dismissed He wiH do the
work he was sent TO do, and he will do it
in fine style without needless sacrifice OF
valuable lives. The Gordon of investment
will soon be drawn about Santiago, and the
strength of the defense will then, perhaps,
be ascertained.
