GOING TO Be A SCRAP.
10th Kansas officers Getting Ready
to Air Their Troubles.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. l4.--The
officers and men OF the Twentieth
Kansas expect the fur to fly when the
regiment returns home.
As heretofore stated in these dis
patches there is no friction here for
it is the desire Of everybo to refrain
from any expression Of opinion that
would cause a row and mar the regi-
ment's brilliant record. But when
all are private citizens they may talk
aud fight as they please without in.
jury to their fame as a military body.
Trouble, however, will not begin till
after the reception.
please assure the committee at
Topeka and the people Of the State
that we will keep our heads till the
blow out is over" said captain in
the regiment in conversation with
the Capital correspondent today
1--WE want to be received In a pleas.

relatives and | speak with authority

and the reception at Topeka"

win Boltwood, who comes home load.
ed for General Funston. Boltwood
refuses to give Funston credit for
anything except courage. he calls
him grand stand player and an adj
vertiser and ironically refers to him
in ordinary conversation as "the
hero
He says that Funston did not rec
ogpize merit in promotion, but al
ways took good care of his friends,
and allowed the law firm of Gleed,
Ware & Gleed to dictate appoint
ments.
Boltwood, although a Republican,
is training with Lieutenant Colonel
Ed Little and the opinion prevails
that they will work together in an
effort to down Funston's glory.
Little is loaded for Funston and
Metcalf, and a story is in circulation
that be has a 5000 word statement
ready for publication.
General Funston is not saying any
thing, but his close friends declare
that he is prepared to defend himself
against attack.
Colonel Metcalf, who is also main
tanning a clam.like attitude, will be
on Funston's side in the fight.
Major Whitman has been regarded
by the regiment as partisan of Lit
tie, but it is said that just before the
Tartar landed he went to General
Funston and proposed that they bury
the Ratchet. That suited Funston
and the two officers shook hands. The
present difficulty is the outgrowth of
the clash between Funston and Little
in the Preside year ago.
IL is believed here that Little will
give the Kansas Populsts their cue
for the campaign in 1900 Topeka
Capital.

"A FINE DIS SrINCTION,
The Troops in the Philippines AL
lowed Increase OF Pay-Is War and
lnsurrcction in Progress

lowed Increase OF Pay-Is War and
Insurrcction in Progress
AS result of careful consideration
of the question, the Secretary Of War
has issued instructions for the con.
ttnued payment Of the 20 per cent eH.
ira allowed enlisted men in time OF
war to all the troops now serving in
the Philippines, at least up to the time
OF their muster out. Under the law
such extra pGy is authOri2 d only dur.
Ing the existence or imminence Of war
and the impression obtained that it
ceased with the issue of the PRESIDENT
proclamation announcing the re-esta.
blishment Of peace with Spain. While
it Is admitted at the war departmen ut
that the insurrcction in the Philip
pines does not reach the dignity OF
war, it Is cOntenled that the soldiers
who enlisted in the army for the
Spanish war arc entitled to the full
war pay up to the time Of their muster
out.
In support OF this Wow OF the case,
1T is stated that the enlistment OF tn c
troops was in the nature OF q contract,
all the conditions Of which hold gouu
until its termination. At any rate,
the officials Of the department hold
that the men in the Philippines WHO
are risking their lives in the cause OF
their country are entitled to the benefit
OF any doubt which may exist as to
T their right to this extra war pay. The
payments will continue to be made as
heretofore, leaving the question as to
it's legality to be determined by the az
counting officers OF the treasury de-
partment when the accounts OF the
paymasters are rendered in duo course
Of time.
The war department occupies a
somewhat singular position in this
matter, inasmuch rs, while it pr,.cti-
cally admits the existence of war in
the philippines for the purpose of pay
ing the troops, it denies the existence
OF state OF war in that territory for
all international purposes. The rec
ognition by the United States of state
OF war in the Philippines would un-
doubtedly justify the recognition Of
the belligerency of the Philippine in
surgents by foreign governments, ~
contingency which this government is
exceeding y de0irous of avoiding.
The desire Of the volunteers to re-
turn to this country is evidenced in
report which shows that of those who
have been offered opportunity to re-
enlist, with the offer Of q bonus in
travel pay Of over $500, only about per
cent will accept. The volunteers, it
Is stated, desire to come homo by or
ganizations, instead Of individually.
Some discharges Of individual soldiers
have been brought about by Congress

Otis has been disapproving all appi-
tions Tor disch arges except ia the case
OF sick or wounded and disable. SOL

"A list has been prepared at the
war department Of the soldiers whose
distinguished service in the war with
Spain will entitlc them to certificates
OF merit. The list contains nearly one
hundred names Of men whose gallan.
try and bravery entitle them to this
recognition. The names will be sub
mitted to tho President and then the
certificates will bo prepared tor his
signature. TO the soldiers Of the re.
gIlar army these Certificates carry
with ttem more than the honor Of
their possession. Every enlisted man
per month extra pay during the time
he is in the service of the Government.
"A Mississippi hivcr steamboat

farmers wife hunted up q cow and
MIXED her for tho benefit OF q sick
passenger. "Of course this happened

somebody rushed into drug store for
the purpose of getting a saving
draught."
Most navy men rather wish that
warships could bear warlike names,
and perhaps this fact may explain q
witticism with which Admiral Dewey
Is credited. 1t is said that when the
naming of two auxiliary cruisers, the
ale and Harvard, was reported to the
admiral, one Of his officers asked ::
Gould not you give college names to
some OF the Spanish cruisers that you
are raising ?" "Certainly," answered
Admiral Dewey. & will cal one the

Tho famous expression, "Don't
shoot until you can see the whites of
their eyes !" has been supplanted out
in the Philippines by new phrase.
According to one of the members CT
the Twentieth Kansas regiment the
customary order prior to attacks upon
the Filipinos is : "Don't shoot until
you can see the lights on their ciga-

hirty-seven tho usand bales were made
up out Of the samples which had been
ruthlesslessly ,plucked from the bales
by the men who handled them, which
should have gone into the parishes OF
Louisiana. N addition to the great
loss from sampling the old method OF
handling cotton subjected 1t to damage
OF various kinds, which Is called "coun-
try damage" in commercial circles, but
which Is really commercial careless
ness in handling the farmers cotton
after they receive it. BY this method
whole bales are rolled around in the
mud, muddy bales laid up against
others, paint oozes through and marks,
and by every confederation Of circum.
stances the farmer becomes the general
victim who must stand losses of care
lessness and u great deal of design in
addition to those which nature had
visited upon him.
The revelation which is made by the
Lowry baling process, therefore, be-
comes apparent. 1t is not only a groat
labor saver in the direct work OF baling
and compressipg the cotton, but it
leads to q whole series of improve
ments, which necessarily follow, and
all OF which will contribute to moro
skllfull handling OF the crop, to lessen
the expenses in bringing it to market
and consequently should lead to a
greater return to the pocket OF the
farmer. Such movement as this de.
serves the name Of revolution, because
it will inspire new hope into the hearts
OF our farmers, and it will secure tho
continuance Of onr supremacy of the
cotton market.
Among those who were interested
spectators Of the days developments
was State Commissioner of Agriculture
0. B. Stevens. Mr.. Boykin Wright,
in his speech welcoming the CONNER
cial VISITORS. expatiated upon the pos
siblllties which lay ahead Of this new
Development.
In addressing the regular convention
later on, Hon. Clark Howell refe rred
TO the occasion which had brought
them together, and complimcntcd the
enterprise shown by the company and
what new methods ould be Instituted
IN the baling Of cotton by the adopting
OF the round bale machinery. He SAID
the round bale marked as great re.
volution in cotton packing as the type
setting machine had done in printing,
and that in u few years it would be
just as complete in its recognition and
| adoption.

makes no provision for his release, and
that consequently petition in bank
