CHICKAMAUGA, Chattanooga National
Military Park. Ga, June 5-This has been
the quietest day since the volunteer army
arrived here. 1t was probably one of the
most delightful, too, so far as weather was
concerned, the soldiers have had since they
went into camp. A pleasant breeze blew
throughout the park the entire day. There
were no drills and parades of any kind, and
large attachments of men were given short
leaves of absence to visit Lookout mountain
and other points of interest near the park.
Religious services were held in those regi-
mental camps having chaplains, and it was,
in a word, typical Sunday with all of its
observances. 1t was stated on pretty good
authority to-day. though no official con-
firmatiOn could be secured, that the govern
ment would at once erect a permanent build
ing at Lytle. the park postoffice, to be used
for offices for heads Of departments and for
a pOStoffice. The mail matter being handled
is enormous. Eighty thousand letters were
handled each way from Lyle Saturday, and
125 paper pouches were received and the
contents distributed. At present this mail is
handled from postal cars, the present post

point. Two troops of the First kentucky
Cavalry arrived this morning and went i'm

regiment has been raised since the call for
volunteers. and the men have so far had no
experience in the service.
There are now in the hospitals of the four
divisions $50 men on the sick list. very few

confined almost entirely to the Illinois regi-

now nothing more serious, aside from the

than measles and few cases of malaria

OF the camp as exceedingly gratifying.

For over the wooded horizon rim
From the city's highest spire
There floats the striped and star-fecked flag
That sets mems souls on fire.
Il robs the boy of the landscape fair;
1t robs him of sky and stream;
And his breath comes quick as in fancy fray
He lives through a mad-day dream.
The brook to him is an ocean wide;
The land is his ship OF war;
The trees are the clouds of battle smoke
While the fiagships seen afar-
many a spaniard gasps and sinks
In that brfneless ocean stream,
And the ships Of the boy aye victors ara
At the end Of each battle dream.

FASHOOA CONTROVERSY
MARCHAND WILL ASK PERMISSION
TO RETIRE.
France viii Yield the Essential
Point English Protectorate .
Ridiculous Rumor.

London. Oct. 2o.-The morning newspa-
per editorials regard Major Marchand's 8
movements from Fashoda to Khartoum as
Indicative Of yielding on the specific
question in controversy. although the po-
sition Is officially unaltered. IL is as
sumed that he will push on to Cairo in
order to be in direct communication with
the French government. and that on
reaching there he will represent to Paris
the impossibility of remaining at Fashoda
under existing conditions and will ask
authority to withdraw his entire force.
The Times says: "The desire ascribed TO
France to raise a general discussion ought
to be in itself sufficient answer to the RI
diculous rumor circulated In Ll-informed
quarters yesterday CFriday) that we In
tended to play into her hands by declar-
ing a protectorate over Egypt. Nothing
could be more unlikely at the present mo-
ment."
The Daily News takes Il for granted
that Major Marchand will come to Paris.

lcly since the cabinet council on Thurs
day Is Lord Balfour of Burleigh. secretary

Thomas Sanderson. permanent under sec
retary OF state for foreign affairs. and
there is no doubt that important matters
were under discussion.
The rumor was circulated on the Paris
boulevards yesterday that Major March
and would be recalled from Fashoda, but
on neither side OF the channel-certainly
not on this side-is any serious attention
paid to the rumor that England will de-
clare a protectorate over Egypt.
The Paris correspondent of the Standard
says: II have excellent authority for the
assertion that Major Marchand left FASH
oda on his own initiative. but that he will
demand permission to withdraw the mis-
sion. since his men are dying of hunger
and disease"
The special correspondent Of the Daily
News at Omdurman telegraphs: 81 have
reason to believe that Major Marchand is
waiting for instructions to withdraw the
French mission from Fashoda."

Issue Worn Out.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Bozeman. Oct. Ex-senator Carter gave
two addresses I'm Gallatin county to-day.
one in Belgrade in the afternoon, and the
other in the opera house this evening.
The attendance at the Belgrade meeting
was good, as was that of the evening. Mr..
Carters speech was substantially the
same as that delivered at Fort Benton a
few days since. About two-thirds OF
II was devoted TO disparaging the
democratic party and eulogizing the re-
publican party. He said the democratic
party hated the supreme court of the
United States; did not believe or uphold
the constitution, and were a dirty, dis
honest. dishonorable outfit. and never had
an issue before the people but one that
had been discarded and worn out by the
republicans and no good. like the present
financial question OF the democrats.
He touched silver several times and
jumped the track and left II as often
without much argument The substance of
his speech was that the republican party
never did. could not and would not ever
commit a mistake or wrong.
