"a KANSANS SICK.
Col Funston Commends the Work of
the Volunteer Surgeons.

San Francisco, Sept. characterization
and inquiries made yesterday at the
division hospital show that that institu-
ton contains ninety-t5yO sick soldiers
from the Seventh California. ninety
from the Fifty-first Iowa, and only
twenty-four from the Twentieth Kan
sas- While the regimental hospitals of
LneSe regiments are crowded to the ut
most, the Kansas hospital contained
yesterday but lone patient and he
was cOnValeScent. And while the daily
average of men confined to their quar-
tiers from these commands is from IS
to 200 each, yet yesterdays sick report
reveals that but twenty eight are con-
fined likewise in the Kansas camp. IN
fortunately, these other regiments have
suffered nearly score of deaths each,
but the mortality list of this command
is but nine.
This showing is naturally gratifying
to those in charge. and as Colonel
Funston remarked last evening: we
may justly feel proud Of the excellent
showing made by our regiment in the
mum Der of sick, and it speaks volumes
for the men. as well as for the slxillful
and able manner in which Drs. Rafter.
Huffman and Smith have combated so
many disease breeding elements and
unavOidab bic conditions"
Parents and friends of the men can
rest assured that should their sons and
acquaintance fall i'll they will receive
the best of skillful attendance and ten
der care.

been granted, extending from thirty to
sixty days, transportation being fur
niShed the men to and from their homes.
This is done in order that convalescent
patients may be given the advantages
of their homes where they will improve
more rapidly than is possible in camp
and in camp life.
After weeks of weary waiting and
prolonged restitution of coin the pay
master will show his almost forgotten
countenance (for it has been since June
II when he last appeared) today or to-
morrow, unlock his little gold-laden
chest and proceed to make himself pop
ular with the men. Upon his appear
ance the band will strike up, Behold
the Conquering Hero COmes!'' and then
Colonel Funston will advance and well
come his $500, and later on the happy
private viii pocket his S21.20, in return
for which he has devoted himself to the
hardships of a soldiers life for sixty
days Something like $4,000 will be
most heartily welcomed by the Kan
sans, and that there will be a hot time
in camp that night goes without say
ing.

NhlCa2O, sept. 10.
WHEAT-Before the opening here to-
day LiverPool prices showed an advance
of 11sd. That in addition to the bullish
feeling carried over from yesterday was
sufficient to start wheat prices at a sharp
advance. The bulls derived encoura gee
ment from all quarters and the market
was gradually forced upward. The cash
article everywhere showed improve
ment at good premiums over. nearby Ifu-
lures Exporters took $4,000 bushels and
continental cables advanced their bids Sd
to cd for September holdings. Northwest
ern markets were strong in spite OF large
receipts there, /. 745 cars, against !, 691 cars
last year, Chicago received 357 cars, Of
which only passed inspection con-
tract. The contract stock here now shows
an increase for the week of only 27,000
bushels. When that fact became known
those who are short on September became
nervous and in the endeavor to cover
up prices continued to climb. About the

ANNA ROSE WILL BE CROWNED
IN TOPEKA, KANSAS.

By the last mail from the coast a Spe-
ciaI committee wrote to parties in Hon
olulu stating that it had been decided
to offer the prominent position of carni-
val queen to a native lady. The lady to
act in this capacity was left to the peo-
pie here. The committee state that the
carnival promoters will pay all expen-
ses of their hoped for queen. special
committee will meet her in San Fran
cisco and escort her to Topeka, where
she will be the guest of honor of the
city throughout the carnival
This offer of the Topeka people is no
small tribute to the Hawaiian ladies,
as the problem of "who shall be queen"
is one that is usually a matter which
stirs up the highest social circles of the
cities in which the carnivals of the
middle west are held. 1t is the highest
social position that can be held, and no
amount of money and social pull is ex-
pended in securing the coveted prize.
In Honolulu the ladies available to
ofTiciate as queen found it impossible to
go so far away from home The com
mittee there decided to call on Hilo and
on motion Messrs. Wakefield. Wilder,
Little and Andrews were requested to
act as a committee and search Tor some
one suitable to fill the important posi-
ton Miss Anna Rose was called upon
and after consulting with her family
decided to accept. She will leave on the
next Kinau.

COMMISSION ARRIVES.
Royal Representatives Reach st
Johns, N. F., on Important
Mission

St. Johns. N F., Sept. 13.-sir John
Bramston and Admiral Sir James
Erskines, the royal commission to in
quire into the French shore question.
arrived today accompanied by the Earl
of Westmeath, secretary of the COM
mission. They will consult with the
colonial ministry tomorrow regarding
the scope and conduct of the inquiry.
Beside their credentials as commits
sioners they bring dispatches from the
British colonial office in reply to petit
lions praying for the retention of Sir
Herbert Murray as governor of the
colony and for the disallowance of the
Reid railway contract.
The dispatches pointed out that it
was impossible to concede the request
for the retention of Sir Herbert Muir
ray, owing to his successor having been
appointed in the person of Sir Hector
McCallum. former governor of Lagos
With regard to the railway contract,
the colonial office replies that this is
purely a matter within the province
of the Newfoundland legislature and
therefore the imperial authorities see
no reason to disaIlow it.

WAS READY TO DIE.
Empress of Austria Had No Wish to
Avoid Death.

Vienna Sept 13--The empress did not
permit herself to be guarded by detect
ives. AS soon as she noticed them she
avoided them. Seven Austrian detectives
followed her to Switzerland. but they were
ordered to remain at Glion while she went
to Geneva. Her majesty often complain
ed of the watchfulness imposed by the
Swiss government for her safety When
leaving the hotel and perceiving detectives
outside she left by side door to escape
them.
No recent photograph or statue of this
charming woman exists For thirty years
no photograph has been taken, for as she
grew older she objected to being pictured.
She loved the Greek classics, and at Corfu
erected a beautiful castle full of master
pieces of Greek sculpture at a cost of
nearly 100000 forms. To her Greek
reader. DR.. CristOmanOs, she often init
mated that she knew death to be threat
ened: To him she said:
when ones wish to live departs one IS
actually outside of life When or where
/ die is to me a secondary consideration.
There is a given time in mans life when
he really dies. It need not be the time of
his positive decease- I expect death at
moment"

GEORGE GOULD RETURNING
To Participate in the Era of Unprece-
denied Prosperity.

London. Sept 18.-Mr. George J..
Gould of New York who sails for home
tomorrow on board the White Star
liner Teutonic, in an interview today
said:
"An I have heard from home since
we have been abroad has convinced me
that we are on the eve of an era of
prosperity perhaps unprecedented in
our history. The business outlook could
not be better, and with the splendid
harvest they will have to move, rail
road securities ought to boom. This
naturally will have a beneficial effect
on all sound stocks"
Touching on politics, Mr.. Gould said:
Il believe the Philippine question will
be peacefully settled to the satisfaction
of the American people; but I have
given it little or no thought
Referring to the challenge of Sir
Thomas Upton, Mr. Gould remarked:
Il have not formed any plans in connec-
ton with the Americas cup challenge.
I know nothing more about the matter
than I have read in the newspapers.
But I may say as a yachtsman, that I
am pleased that another challenge has
been received for the cup. I hope
nothing will prevent a race and trust
the best boat will win"

was received by General Lawton last
night that General Maxine Gomez, the
insurgent COMMUNICATIVE has ten
dered his resignation of the command
of the Cuban army to the Cuban gov

ing against the Cuban governments
yielding the control of the affairs of
the island to the Americans and the
explanation for resigning was his dis
approval of passive submission to con-
ditions tending to the practical retire
rnent Of the Cuban republic as such and
