THE FIGHTING R
And How he wns Tanned by His Conn

49,
Chicago Record: Major Leigh F.
French passed through Chicago last
week on his way to Sioux Falls, S. D.,
to assume command OF the First bat
TALON OF the Third regIment,of United
States volunteers. known as the cow
boy regiment.
This branch Of the cavalry service Is
being recruited under a special act Of
Congress. The men will have a style
OF Uniform entirely different from TINT
OF any other American troops. 1t will be
made OF yellowish-brown duck, with
short Jacket, riding brooches and leg
Gings. Each man will carry for side
arms a long-barrel thirty-eight-calIber
revolver and n short sword. Most OF
the fighting will be done with Winches-
ter carbines. The men are daring rid
ers and expert marksmen, and Major
French considers them the finest body
OF men he ever sow assembled for SER
vice.
The story comes back to Chicago that
on the morning after the major arrived
at Sioux Falls he arose about G o'clock
and walked over to where troop B OF his
command was in camp. 1t maybe re-
marked that the major Is six feet three
Inches tall and a fine athlete. There he
found tho captain OF the troop lecturlng
two Deadwood men who had quarreled
and started In toh"mix up" In u fight.
The major made q few inquiries as to
the facts In the case, and then he called
up the entire troop and gave them n
ten-minutc talk on the necessity OF
preserving strict discipline. He told
them that II every man guarded his
conduct carefully the regiment would be
more effective and 1t would have q bet
ter reputation.
The boys listened respectfully, but

speech n OF. the fighters. q strnpping,

could just have'tha "a n scrap out"
The boys who were standing around
had 10 restrain their laughter, and the
commanding officer had n suspicion
that his talk had been In vain. He call
led the fighting man over to him and
nsked: "Will you behave like a nan
and a soldier nftorwnrd. II I give you q
chance to have this scrap that you're
spelling for7"
That's what T will"
The soldiers g~rinned and crowded for
ward expecting to SEQ the two Dead
wood men turned loose at each other.
The second fighter edged up. anxious
to resume hostilitics, but the major snid
10 him. Stay where you are" and then
to tho other fighter he sn!d: "Don't you
want To- talse OF your at?". And SO

saying he threwloff his coat and rolled
up his sleeves.
The Deadwood man was almost too
surprised to speak when he saw the
major making these preparations. As
ever, he gamely pulled his coat and then
said, with a quiet grin: I'D sort o. hate
to hit you, MAZE; you look 20 purity. Be-

lick you, nobody will object, and II you
lick me, I'll recommend you for my
place."
They squared of, and the Deadwood
man, hardly knowing whether the ma
jor was in fun or earnest, made a half
hearted swing. His antagonist warded
of the blow md caught him with a
stralght-arm punch squarely In the
mouth, cutting his lips against his
teeth and covering his chin with blood.
He jumped back and stood perfectly
still for a moment. Then he put his
hand up to his mouth and felt the blood
and said, well. I'll be -" and sew
eral other things.
Then he made q wild rush at the ma
tor. In q rouSh-and-tumble fight he
would haveNwon, but he had never ia
ken lessons in sparring. The major
stood his ground until the other man
was almost on top OF him, and then he
side-stepped quickly and shot In his
right, catching the big fellow on the
point Of the Jaw.
The man tumbled over. completely

a rag. Nobody said a word. In a few
seconds he slowly pulled himself to-

The major helped him UP and said:
"Now go and wash your face. and
when you can't hold in any longer send
for me-"
The major had started back to his
headquarters, when the Deadwood man
started after him. pushing the crowd
right and left. He held out his hand,
and he was crying:
That's all right, maje," he said. "You
done 1t fair. and you can bet your last
dollar I'll do just what I promised"
The boys gave a yell, and the ..maje"
was properly introduced to his COM
mand, with q very sore hand to remind
him OF the experience. X.

The only criticism IN connection with
the stringent orders OF the navy depart
ment prohibiting the giving out OF any
news TO the preas regarding existing or
intended movements OF naval vessels
and fleets Is that II was not made weeks

right In taking this step TO prevent, 80
far as lies IN their power. the continued
unpatrotio conduct OF certain aensa-
ttonal papers in printing the plans OF

naval chips. The inoonsiderate enter
prise OF these journals has been embar-
raising to the war board more than once.

Our Trade with Sp,;n.

Oh the section OF foreign markets. United
states department OF agriculture, is in
teresuns Just at this time. when all cfm-
mercial as well as diplomatic relations
Win chat erete monarchy are suspend
ed completely. The trade has not been
very large, though 1t has been OF some
Importance. The report for the year
1897 shows that our dealings with Spain
during the fiscal year amounted to 314,-
o. us, exhibiting a decline Of but 81, 00o,-
goo from 1885, which may be regarded as
a remarkably small shrinkage in view
that during 1897 our political relations
with that country were already becom-
ms strained. Spain. however, was the
~ n Of II nations Of Europe, with
which U commercial transactions did
not show an increase.
Another fact of importance In this
connection is, that the report shows that
ourtrade with Spain has been gradually
falling off for the past fifteen years,
having attained Its maximum develop
ment In 1883, when the exports and i'm
ports between the two countries was
324.725,6s2. or more than $4,000 900 In ex-
cess OF what It was last ear. The
showing last year was, according to the
published statistics. the lowest IN TWEEN

The trade with Spain has at all times
been largely in favor of the United

THE INTELLlGENCE:IR.
"The Grand Old Man"

It seems fitting that with the expiring
nineteenth century there should pass
away also one whose career has been
so closely identified with the political
history which has been connected with
the Anglo-Saxon advancement and civ
iization which have had so important a
bearing upon the destiny Of the race,
and marked the period as the one OF
greatest progress in modern history.
William E. Gladstone, whose death
has been expected for many days, did
not come upon the scene at the begin
ming OF the century. but he has assisted
In making some OF Its most important
history. To write the story OF England
and Of the government OF Great Brit
ain and Ireland. for the last half Of this
closing century. without Gladstone,
would be like rendering the play OF
Hamlet with the character OF Hamlet
left out.
Whatever factions and parties there
have been in England during the period
In which Mr.. GLADSTONE has been one Of
the chief factors. and however any OF
his countrymen have differed from him
on questions of policy, as he passes
away from the scene OF his triumphs,
Of the honors he has won and enjoyed,
OF life Of activity, both public and
private. well spent, and followed by a
peaceful old age, they will all OF them
pay tribute to a career which has left
its impress behind as can only the high
est type OF British craftsmanship.
The memory Of Gladstone, the de-
parted, will be revered, as Gladstone,
the living, has been honored and re-
spected Of all men. No higher trib-
ute could be paid the dying states
man than to say tuat he dies as he has
lived, Engtand's Grand Old Man." and
honored in the estimation OF the people
OF two continents.
