HE WAS PATRIOTIC.
Why a Southern Congressman Wanted
New Cali for Volunteers.
Mail and Express.)

(Mail and Express)
The President had Il visitor yesterday
who gave him Il rather peculiar reason for
calling for $4,000 more volunteers to be
sent to the Philippines. The c;fller was
Il Democratic Congressman from the
South, and ONE who has been protesting
against expansion and condemning the
Administrations policy i'm the Philippines
but that did not deter him from calling
upon the President and arguing for more
volunteers.
You should issue at once a call for
$4,000 more soldiers to go to the Philip
pines" said the Congressman when he
was ushered into the Presidents office.
accompanied by delegation of consti-
tuents.
The President was somewhat surpris-
cd at the remark, but in his quiet man
ner asked: For what reason?'
Why" replied the Southern Congress,
man. IF you call for these men at will
give You a chance to give all the States
their apportionment of officers"
The President looked surprised and the
Congressman continues: Yes. sir. it
will give all the States a chance. Why.
do you know that while | have been
down in my district looking after my
business. the other Congressman have
been in Washington and have .hogged'
all the appointments of officers, and
when I came here | found there was
not one left for me. and | want sC.ne-
thing for some of these gentlemen now
with me. Yes, sir. you should innl"-
tiiately issue another call for at least
$4,000 more men,"
The patriotism Of the Congressman
so astonished the President that he was
unable to speak for some time.

WILLIAM COATS RECORD.
(New York SUM


The unprotected cruiser Detroit. now
lying in the Brooklyn navy yard under
going repairs. has ON her kog book the
name William Goat. This is not Il man.
but from general appearances just an
ordinary, everyday, light gray goat. 1t
is the mascot Of the ship and perhaps no
goat i'm the country possesses such q
noted naval career. At any rate, it has
Il record of which any sailor would be
proud to boast.
William Goat was with Dewey when
the Admiral sunk the Spanish fleet in
Manila Bay. 1t is said to his credit
that he inspired confidence among the
men on that memorable morning by go
ing from one gun to another. thus show
ing them he was not the least bit afraid.
Billy has travelled bit in his time
He has visited Soutn tmerica Aus
tralia, Hong Kong, London. Philadel-
phia and Coney Island. He likes the
Greater New York. ard will remain in
the navy yard for a month or two to
come, where he may be seen on the De-
troit.
The mascot was transferred to the Buff
falo when she visited Manila Bay and
returned to America ii few months ago
when that ship came back to this coun-
try. He is a great curiosity, and many
photographs of him have been taken.
When the cruiser Detroit went out OF
commission in the navy yard the other
day the mascot received an honorable
discharge, which reads thus:
This is to certify that William Goat n
Billy Goat. has this day been dsicharg-
ed from the L. S. $. Buffalo, and from
naval service, by reason of expiration OF
