"Nagasaki, Japan, Aug. 80, 1885,
Friend Frank: We arrived here on the
2Sth inst. on the Zealandia, with six
companies of the Montana regiment
and discharged soldiers of the Sd ar
tillery and 4th cavalry and from the
14th infantry-over 200 in all

there about two weeks and will come
home to Anaconda about the 10th of
October.
"Nagasaki Is a hot place and we are
taking it all in. 1t is a long time since
we had any fun. The climate here is
fine and not so hot as in the Philip
pines. I am feeling fine on the trip
and growing fatter. We are going to
get a reception in Yokohama by the
American ladies there. Best regards to

VOLUNTEER FUND CROWS
More Than Eighteen Hundred

AND ALL REPORTS NOT IN
Local Committee May Go to Butte In a
Body to Meet the Boys When
They Reach That
City.

The topic of conversation about town
yesterday was the approaching arrival in
San Francisco of the Montana volunteers
The only question asked about the streets
was:
Have the boys got there YETI" and
When are they expected?'
As the time of the arrival of the boys
approaches the interest is growing and
great preparations are being made in An
aconda for their reception.
Yesterday the interest was shown by
the large sale of badges. More than 800
were sold yesterday and those who had
already purchased badges took out the
little red ribbons and wore them. A new
batch will be distributed to-day which
will bring the total of badges distributed
to be placed on sale to 5000, More than
1890 of these have been sold. In the con-
test between the ladies for the gold
watch which has been offered to the lady
selling the most badges Miss Mona Burg
still heads the list with a sale of %.
There are several ladies who have sold
more than 200, and many more who have
not vet made any report of their sales
and who are waiting until the last day
to do 50.
There will probably be a meeting of the
returning volunteers reception commit
tee, when the final arrangements for the
reception will be made. The members of
the committee are now discussing what
should be done on the day the boys reach
Butte. Several members have expressed
the opinion that the committee should
go to Butte in body to meet the volun-
teers.

Audience Last Evening.


Audience Last Evening.
A small audience, undoubtedly due
to the fact that two shows had already
been here this week. greeted Gorton's
MINISTRIES at the Margaret last even
ing, but what 1t lacked in numbers 1t
made up in appreciation. The show
was very well received and for the
most part it was entitled to the APP
plause given, for the company is as
good as the average travelling Minis
trel show. The singing and dancing is
good and the jokes are fair, although
some Of them were told years ago.
The hit of the first part was the
singing of Edward Anderson, who pos
sesses a wonderful bass voice. Jere
Sanford's song, Stories Mother Told
Me-" was loudly applauded, as was
the Crescent City quartette, which was
composed of Messrs. Larkin, Sanford,
Ratigan and Anderson.
In the olio Gorton and Lee in their
musical act, Jere Sanford, the whistler,
and Mullen and Wonder in their gro
tesque acrobatic act proved to be as
good as has been seen here in some
time. The rest of the olio was fairly
good,
