to under the law, and sent home feeling
well satisfied. They had a pleasant inter-
view with acting Secretary Meiklejohn,

had endured. He told the soldiers that the

System of Sea Transportation for
Troops to De Perfected.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-Major General
Ludlow was in Washington to-day consult
ing with acting Secretary Meikeljohn, Gen.
Miles, General Corbin and the quartermas-
ter's department. relative to the work of
the board of which he is president. General
Ludlow, Colonel Hecker and Lieutenant
Rivers were, some time since, created a
board to inquire into and report upon
system Of sea transportation for troops. 1t
is expected that there will be added to this
board one or two civilian transportation
men. The War Department has found that
the methods for the transportation of
troops at sea are wholly inadequate to the
needs of the army. The ships are not ar
ranged so as to carry with comfort and sat-
isfaction large bodies of men. The sleeping
accommodations are not satisfactory, while
there is no provision for the cooking of
food such as soldiers should have, necessi-'
tating the issuance of travel rations which
does not meet the need of troops on long
voyages. The board, of which General Lud-
low is president, has been making a thor
ough examination of the matter and has
held several meetings in the army building
in New York and has consulted steamship
of the United States altered so as to better
accommodate troops.
The attention of the War Department
was called to the matter particularly by
report of Lieutenant Ribers of the quarter
masters department, in which he pointed
out the utter inefficiency of the present
transportation service at From the
time the government was organized until
the Spanish war there was no demand for
transportation of troops by sea except for
a small number of troops in the Mexican
war and for short distances during the
civil war. The Ludlow board will report
upon every feature of sea transportation,
including the remodeling of transports, the
status of captains and officers of transports
in the service, and especially with refer
ence to the health and comfort of the troops
in the matter of space, sleeping accommo-
dations and medical and food supplies. 1t is
expected that the army transports will be
remodeed upon plans adopted by the Lud
low board. 9atnft&f

Ordnance Department Has n Supply
for 45-CaIiber Rifles.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2O.-An order issued
by the War Department states that the
ordnance department has a sufficient sup
ply of smokeless powder cartridges for the
arms of 40 caliber. These cartridges are to
be used in actual operations only. The
black powder cartridges are to be used in
target practice. 1t is also directed that
when generals commanding troops in for
eign departments deem it advisable to ex-
change the 45-calber arms for the 30-caliber
magazine rifles, acquisitions should be for
warded to the chief of ordnance. AS all
regiments cannot have their arms ex-
changed, the department commander is d.
rected TO confne acquisitions to troops that
have had such experietfce as fit them for
taking care and making efficient use of the
magazine arm. 1t is also stated that the
black powder cartridges in action was the
principal and only material objection to the
45-caliber arm, and that, in some respects,
it is preferable especially for new troops,
and that the use of smokeless powder gen.
orally avoids the necessity for exchange

UNPAID SOLDIERS.
War Department Has Trouble in LO-
eating Sick md FurIOughed Men

-
WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.-The payment
of such soldiers as were not with their com
mands when the regiments were mustered
out is one of the problems that has been
presented to the War DEPARTMENT officials.
Some time ago orders were issued directing
regimental and other commanders to have
soldiers on sick leave or furlough furnished
with descriptive lists, so they might be
paid if they were not with their commands.
Some of the officers have neglected to do
this. Then again. cases have arisen where
soldiers have gone into hospitals and their
commands have been transferred to other
camps or home to be mustered out, and
nothing was left with the sick soldiers to
Identify them for the receipt of their pay
An instance of this was discovered by Sec
rotary Alger in hospital at Lexington He
teiegraphed Paymaster General Stanton
that there were ninety-five men in the hos
pital there who had not received their pay
for July There was nothing to identity
the men to the paymaster, as their regi-
mental and company commanders had not
furnished them with any means of identifi-
cation. General Stanton Immediately or
dered that they be paid for July and will
now undertake to trace down their records
SO as to keep his accounts straight Such
payment was irregular to some extent,
but General Stanton concluded to take
chances. believing that the records of the
men could be obtained and the amount paid
them charged to them in the future
Other instances are constantly brought to
the attention of officials of the War De-
partment To-day several members of
Roosevelts Rough Riders were at the de-
partment with a note from Colonel Roose-
welt asking that the department take some
steps looking to the payment OF the men

FOR GARRISON DUTY.
Regulars who VIII Go to Cuba, Porto
Rico and Elsewhere.

Rico and Elsewhere.
NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: General
Miles when asked how many regiments
would be stationed with the volunteers at
the different garrisons replied: About 1900
regulars in Cuba, LOCO in Honolulu, 5000 in
the Philippines and 1900 in Porto Rico
General Miles said he expected that Cuba
would be garrisoned with about $4,000 men,
the Philippines with about $4,000, Porto Rico
about 14GO0 and Honolulu about 4O00. All
the regulars which were at Montauk, with
the exception of the Twenty-fourth In
fantry, Twenty-second Cavalry and Ninth
Cavalry, will be sent to Cuba and Porto
Rico, and the First and Fifth Cavalry were
to-day added to the Seventh and Eighth
Cavalry all of which troops will go to Cuba.
General Miles said that the decision thus
to dispose Of the troops was largely re-
suit of the conference held Saturday be-
tween the President, acting Secretary Mel
keljohn and General Miles. The Seventh
Cavalry, now stationed in Arizona and New
Mexico, and the Eighth Cavalry, now sta
toned at Fort Meade, have, however, been
ordered to Huntsville, Ala, whittier most of
the regulars for Cuba will go. The Second
and Ninth Cavalry, now at Montauk, will
kota and Colorado.
''It is not expected that the troops will be
ordered to Cuba before the 1st or middle
of October, when the details of the evacua-
ton will have taken some shape and the
dangers from fever will have become less
menacing. In addition to the Seventh Army
Corps of about thirty thousand it is planned
now that the remaining six immune regi-
ments, all now in this country, will go to
Cuba Four of the immune regiments are
now i'll Santiago, namely, the Second, Third,
Fifth and Ninth, the first three being white
and the Ninth colored. There are three
other colored immune regiments, namely, the
Seventh, Eighth and Tenth now at Lexing-
ton. The others white, namely, the
Fourth, at Jacksonville, Sixth, at Admission,
and First, at Galveston. General Miles said
there would be plenty of soldiers for the
programme, as there were left, he said, 1OO,-
600 volunteers and $1,000 regulars. Those
regulars not needed will be distributed at
army POSTS. The volunteers not needed will.

Friends of CadwaIladers in Randolph

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 2O.-Simmons,
the Indiana sheriff, was entirely successful
in his efforts to spirit his prisoner, Charles
H. Cadwallader, the alleged embezzler,
over the state line and out of the range
of California habeas corpus proceedings.
The special engine and car which had been
chartered by Simmons was stopped at a
way station between Colfax and Blue
Cannon by Simmons, who, with Cadwalla-
der, awaited the east-bound overland train,
which they quietly boarded and crossed
the state line on schedule time
1t is understood that between this city
and Colfax several attempts to flag the
train were made by officers, but as the
special had the right of way all signals were
ignored.

Certain to BE the Choice of Michigan
Renublicana for GoYernOr.


DETROIT, Mich, Sept. Ex-Governor Pin
gree's unanimous denomination tomorrow
by the Republican state convention is con-
ceded to be a certainty by the crowd of dele
gates, party leaders and candidates gathered
in the hotels. 1t is freely admitted by even
the conservatives of the party that the Gov
ernor's strength with the people compels the
support of Republicans, including those who
do not approve generally the Governors
acts To-morTow's convention will be asked
to specifically indorse the Governors ia
vorite measure, namely, the Atkinson bill,
to increase taxation of railroads and other
quasi-public corporations, which bill mar
rowly failed of passage in the State Senate
last session.
The office which caused most discussion
to-day is that of lieutenant governor. The
Pingree managers consider ii extremely inn
portant that their nominee for president of
the Senate be with them on taxation meas
ures. Last evening the Governors support
was assured to Garritt j. Diekema, speaker
of the House, who, while an old-line Re-
publican, is also considered to be a sincere
Pingree man. To-day friends of Senator
Robinson protested against what they called
unfair favortism, and it is announced that
any unqualified support of Dekema by
the Governor has been withdrawn. The
Governor has been most reticent on this
question to-day.
There is some question whether the regu-
lar Pingree adherentS will support ID. NJ.
Ferry for reelection as chairman of the
state central committee but this matter Is
held in allegiance pending selection OF MEM
bers of the state committee which will be
made by district caucuses tomorrow.

POLITICS IN MICHIGAN
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN OPENED BY
THE HON. WEBSTER DAVIS.
Reply to Criticisms of the Conduct
BE Renominated To-Day.

DETROIT, Sept. 20.-Webster Davis, as
sistant secretary of the interior, addressed
the first meeting of the political campaign
in Michigan tonight The meeting was ar
ranged by the officers of the State League
of Republican Clubs. The audience was
singularly small for the occasion, the chief
interest tonight centering about the hotel
Hobbies, where states for the minor state
offices were being made and broken and
political views exchanged among state con-
vention delegates and candidates. Less than
! five hundred people heard and applauded
Mr.. Davis's eloquent address. He was in
troduced by Grant Fellows, president of the
state league, who characterized the gather
ing as handful of the faithful
Mr.. Davis said that there was really no
need for Republican speakers from abroad
to address Michigan audiences, as there was
no question about Michigan's Republican,
ism. What is the use,' queried the speak
er, for any Michigander to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket? What is the use of going
back to those Democratic hard times?" MIR.
Davis pictured the Coxey army scenes and
the present changed conditions "all in a
year and half of Republican administra-
tion.''
Dr. Davis insisted in answer to Demo-
cratic criticisms OF the war bond issue that
1t was made necessary because the Demo-
Gratis left so depleted treasury upon retlr-
ing from power. In regard TO CRITICISMS of
the conduct OF the war he pointed to the
fact that in the unparalleled period of 1lS
days an army of quarter of million was
raised and victory achieved and that less
than 1900 men out of 26S,00O troops lost their
lives, mo more said he, than would have
died had they remained at home, judged ac-
cording to the mortuary statistics of the
most healthy cities" Said he: The Presi-
dent has ordered a thorough investigation of
the War Department but it is hardy MAX
ing political capital to seek to besmirch the
character of the greatest secretary of war
since the time of Stanton. loud applause }
The party that does this will certainly go
down in defeat"
In conclusion Mr.. Davis eulogized Lincoln
and Mckinley for leading the Nation to
peace and prosperity out of the gloom of
the civil and Spanish wars, respectively.
The record of the Mckinley administration
alone was enough, he said, to make men
vote the Republican ticket. The President
as shown by his army appointments had
risen above craftsmanship and the Nation
would advance best in its now widening
sphere under Republican leadership and
guidance.
Judge c. A. Bowersox, of Bryan, O., also
made spirited address.

CLEVER sHERIFF SIMMONS.

Catching the Criminal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Sept. 20.-Great interest
is manifested in this city over the special
from Stockton. Cal in to-day's Journal.
giving an account of the clever manner in
which young Sheriff Simmons, of this coun-
ty, outwitted Charles Cadwallader's attor-
ney and save the California writ of habeas
corpus the slip. Sheriff Simmons has been
untiring in his efforts to locate Cadwallader
and has spent considerable money in fol-
lowing up different false clues, but his per-
severance was finally rewarded, when on
Friday, Sept. Q, he received a telegram
from the sheriff of San Joaquin county adj
vising him of the arrest of man there an
swering to the description of Cadwallader.
On the following evening young Simmons
left for Stockton, accompanied by Col.
James Patched. of Union City, who was
sent by the depositors of the defunct Citi-
zeEs Bank to Identify Cadwallader. Cad
wallader had been located in California
since last summer sometime, perhaps
longer, where he worked for the California
Navigation and Improvement Company, of
Stockton, as one of it's bookkeepers, under
the assumed name of Z. H.. WILDER. Had
Simmons been a few days later he would
have missed his man as Cadwallader had
planned to leave for Honolulu on the next
steamer due to leave for that place in a
few days.
Just how Sheriff Simmons finally sue
ceeCed in putting the California authorities
on to his man (for he it was who did thiS)
will not be known until he chooses to make
known the fact himself. He has an older
brother who had been in California for some
time up to a month or two since, when he
came here and has since been serving as a
riding bailiff for the sheriff. Before coming
here he was located at or near Stockton, and
it is said he knew Cadwallader while there,
and, it is believed by many, betrayed his
presence. This Mr.. Simmons stoutly denies,
and says that at the proper time he will ex-
plain.
The charge confronting young Cadwall-
ader is that of embezZlement. Eighteen in
dictmentS were returned against him in diff
ferent cases. This money taken by
him while serving in the capacity of cashier
of the late Citizens Bank, of Union City.
Charles Cadwalader's connection with the
bank an alleged criminal would, most
probably, never have come out but for the
fact that Ed Reeves, q teller in the bank,
under promise of immunity from the
prosecution, turned States evidence against
him. This evidence first came out in a suit
brought by the receiver of the bank against
the stockholders. In this case Reeves took
the stand and recounted from beginning to
end the various acts of crookedness per-
petrated by himself and Cadwallader.
Among other things he told about Cad
wallader raising 50 draft to $1,000. Reeves
is now resident of Union City, and will be
one of the principal witnesses against his
old associate.
