Cumbs to Pneumonia.
NEWPORT r. l., Sept. 9.-Janles B.
Eustis, ambassador to France during the
second Cleveland administration and for
merly a senator from Louisiana, died at
his summer home in this city at o'clock
tonight, of pneumonia.
Mr.. Eustis was taken i'll on Wednesday,
but the local physician, after an examin-
alton, thought the trouble to be heart
failure. The patient grew worse on
Thursday, developing symptoms of pneu-
monia, and on Friday there was a consul
tation of physicians who stated that
there was scarcely any hope of recovery
The end came tonight very peacefully
Mr.. Eustis' son, James B. Eustis Jr., and
his daughter, Miss Celeste Eustis, were
at the bedside.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral but it is thought the body
will be taken to Louisiana. 80
Mr., Eust1s came to his Summer home
on Charming avenue, as was his CUSTOM
early in July, intending to remain until
autumn. All the early part Of the sum-
mer he was in excellent health, devoting
many hours to a critical review Of the
Dreyfus case, in which was to be en-
bodied much valuable material gathered
during his official residence in France.
The extreme heat Frustrated Mr.. Eustis,
and at the time it was attributed in part
to overwork. AS he had not been troub-
led with his heart, no special anxiety
was felt at the prostration Of Mr.. Eustis.
and later he seemingly recovered his

airy horses including those of the Third
cavalry, and an equally large number Of
mules. Many of these animals are being
transported by way of San Frncisco and
the remainder are on their way to Ma
Mia by the Aleutian route from Seattle
to Japan. The last named method of
animal transportation is somewhat of an
experiment, and the result is being
watched with considerable interest. The
department contemplate sending the en-
tire Third cavalry to the Philippines over
this North Pacific route, and the regi-
ment and horses are now under way.
The men are on the steamer ST. Paul and
the horses on the steamers Garonne,
Athenian and Victoria. The Garonne was
the first to start from Seattle, and, ac
cording to advices received at the war
department today, arrived safely at
Dutch Harbor. one Of the westernmost

MARCHED IN TRIUMPH.

The progress of the Minnesota and
South Dakota regiments through the
streets of San Francisco today was a splen-
did ovation. The veterans coming home
from the Philippines were accorded such
a greeting as has been given to no ( her
returning volunteers save those of the
State of California. There were cheers
and flowers, and, above all, honest sim
cerity in the warmth of welcome that
touched the hearts of the men in faded
uniforms, who swung along with the
steady stride Of veterans All jealousies
for the moment were laid aside, and the
soldiers Joined with the hospitable people
to make the day a gala occasion to be
remembered.
At an early hour this morning the Sher-
idan lifted her anchor and moved up to
Pier IL. Reveille was sounded at o'clock
but the men were all awake and had been
for hours In fact, 1t is doubtful If any
one slept much on board the big trans
port last night. Breakfast was partaken
of at the usual hour and then the men
busted themselves with preparations for
quitting the boat All the accoutrements
except the blanket rolls, haversacks and
guns were piled on the wharf, to be
brought out to camp later by govern
ment wagons, thus relieving the men OF
heavy burdens and at the same time
giving to the uninitiated the appearance
of being in heavy marching order.
At 9 o'clock, the hour set for disembark-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-(Special.)-
Tonight the Thirteenth Minnesota and
the First South Dakota regiments, after
a triumphal march through the streets
of San Francisco, which from dock to
court house was one continuous ovation,
are settled at the Presidio, and Col. Ames
is in command of the Minnesota men.
The anti-Ames following which existed
in the regiment on its arrival has given
place to a strong current in favor of
the colonel, and the indications are that
the regiment will go home with Ames in
command.
Col. Ames received instructions today
from Gen. Shafter to assume command Of
the regiment, and shortly before noon he
called on Lieut. Col. Frederichs and simp-
ly said: II am in command of the regt-
ment and will take charge" Frederichs
said nothing, and the news of Ames be-
ing in command quickly spread through
the regiment. At once hundreds of the
enlisted men called at Col. Ames' tent
and shook him by the hand, cheering for
him, and some officers also called on
him. The large crowds of visitors real
ized that the sentiment was In favor of
Col. Ames and congratulated him on

Bean left camp this afternoon and went
down town to a hotel with his wife, hav-
ing leave for twenty-four hours.
ENLISTED MEN PLEASED.
The enlisted men seem pleased at the
turn affairs have taken and all say that
Col Ames is all right.
If Col. Ames resigns the enlisted men
say they will go back under Frederichs,
Masterson or Bean, who all want the
colonelcy Of the regiment. The officers OF
the regiment are all divided on whom to
choose. In this condition the officers and
men realize that for the honor Of the
regiment and the state they must go home
IN a body with Ames as colonel. They say
that this is for the best and the anti
feeling is dying fast. No one accuses
Ames of cowardice The most that can
be alleged against him is that he made
mistakes From what one can hear and
see, Frederichs is not popular with the
men, and all laugh at the idea Of Fred
erchs charging Ames with cowardice,
when Frederichs was never at any time
on the firing line.
Maj. Bean is very popular, but many
of the men say that he is jealous of Col.
Ames and in stirring up trouble is hurt
ing the regiments record and the honor
Of the state. The men assert positively
that all this affair over Col. Ames must
end, and the officers are beginning to
realize that the enlisted mems desires
must be needed.

A desperate fight took place at Col

officers we're lying in wait for him on
Harrison avenue when he came along.
Dumont received three wounds in the

not be seen with the telescope, nor is
it likely that they will ever be seen by
any instrument.

LOST RELIGION CURIoUsLY.
Elder Wood Objected to Trivial
Changes for the Choir.

Kingston, N. Y, Sept. 13-The will
of Joshiah Wood of Kripplebush is be-
ing contested in the surrogate's court
here on the ground that Wood was in
sane. Wood was pillar in the Meth
odist church at Kripplebush for many
years and very devout until the church
choir was moved from the gallery
down near the pulpit. Then his
religious ardor cooled, for he thought
the gallery was the only place for the
choir. But when repairs were made
to the church and the old-fashioned
pulpit, five feet high, was sawed
down to three feet, he rebelled fiercely
against the innovation, which he de-
nounced as sacrilege. He quit attend
ing church and became horribly pro-
fame, announcing that if the minister
preached from the new pulpit he would
erect the old pulpit in the other end of
the church and preach hell and dam
nation" from it, This threat he failed
to carry out, although he persisted in
his profanity, developed habit of
talking to himself in blasphemous
terms, asserting that religion was ga
fraud" All these things, the contest
ants claim, show that Wood was in
sane and incompetent to make a will.
