The next speaker was Hon. ]. A. T.
Hull, congressman from the Seventh
district and chairman Of the committee
on military affairs in the house. Hit
address was most warmly received and
enthusiastically applauded by soldiers
and citizens. Mr.. Hull said:
Fellow Citizens and Members of the
Fifty-first Iowa: IT certainly gives me
great pleasure to take part in welcoming
back to our state the boys who have KEPT
in the republic. And l want to say tc
them here that they have met today a
greater army than they ever met while
they were away from home, and that we
have done something that no enemy of
the country can dove have captured
the F'ifty-first Iowa. And We are going
to keep them our prisoners in love and
faith and hope, so that they may come
back and be part of us. / want to say
to you that this war has demonstrated
the wonderful bravery and matchless
patriotism OF the American citizen. ]

these boys that have come back will bear
me out in saying, that they are. both Of
Tense of their country. There is no dam
ger can come to the republic from Il rea-
organized regular army, so long
as they are taken from the citizenship of
the country itself. and today, my friends,
no man can enlist in the regular army OF
the United States unless he is himself a
citizen of the republic. Thank God we
have nothing TO fear from our own SOL
diers, and l want to say another thing,
that these boys that went out in the
early spring Of 1898 have enlarged the
horizon Of the republic and recast the
map OF the world. They have entered
into a war for humanity, not for ag-
but the result of the war

great stand arranged TO seat 300 to 400
people. This was occupied by the dis
tinguished guests of the occasion. In
front of 1t the members of the regiment
were marched into an enclosed space
reserved for them so that they might
be assured Of comfortably hearing the
speakers. The park and surrounding
streets were thrOnged with people. The
sonorous tones of John Baldwin, even,
reached comparatively few of them.
The intention had been that Col. w.
T. Hepburn should act as chairman or
the day. In his unavoidable absence
Hon. John N. Baldwin acted in his
stead.
Mr.. Baldwin Presides.
In assuming the presidency of the
day, Hon. John N. Baldwin explained
that Colonel Hepburn, who was TO have
acted in this capacity, had been belated
and could not be found. 1t was ex-
planned further that Rev. II. p. Will
liams, chaplain of the regiment, was
Ill and could not appear, and in his
stead his father. Rev. J. Madison Will
liams of Drake university, Des Moines,
was introduced and made the opening
prayer, as follows:
Oh, our Father. Thou God of battle
and Thou defender of right, we look to
Thee today with Thanksgiving in our
hearts for what our eyes see of Thy
mercy and Thy favor to the defenders
OF our country. We are glad before Thee,
oh, our God, that Thou hast returned to
US so many of our loved ones. 50 many
OF our citizens, so many of the defenders
of our flag. And we recognize Thee first
of all as the Giver of all the good bless
ings that we enjoy this hour We pray
Thee. our Father, that with our thanks
giving and our gratitude, we may remem-

that II we will have Thee ever on our side

we must defend the right. We thank
Thee that in this war we are standing

Pronounced "Mn-Neel-a."

The soldier boys are teaching the
Coloradoans some things about the
pronunciation Of names relating to
places in the Philippines. Manila, as
a word, is most prominent example.
Americans have always said Manila,
with the 81" pronounced short. But
this ''i' should be spoken like long
"e," and thus the word Is 1 Ma
neel-a." All the soldiers. liking
to their friends, would spe mil
lar terms of Ma-neel-a, and soon the
new pronunciation was being heard
on all sides.

After the speech making was at an
end it being now noon, the soldiers
were escorted to the Eiseman block.
Here a great hall had been converted
into a dining room for them and ar
elaborate dinner was served. NO motel
in the town could have served 1t more
elegantly or could have offered a larger
variety, and none could have better
cared for half the number that were
fed. The people Of Council Bluffs were
all this time extracting comparatively
little satisfaction from the entertain
ment, for their own soldier boys or
Company l. were not yet arrived. They
were on the third section of the train,
which was about twelve hours behind
the others. and did not reach the city
till this evening. With them were Com
panies NJ of Red Oak, f of Shenan-
doah and c of GlenwOod. The other
eight were on the first two sections.
Two o'clock was set as the hour Tor
the special trains to proceed eastward
ON the Rock Island for Des Moines,
with the Des Moines, Knoxville and
Oskaloosa companies. On account or
the great number of excursiomsts who
wanted to ride with the soldiers. the
Des Moines companies were given
separate train, and Knoxville and Os-
kaloosa another. Both were long
trains and they were crowded. They
were nearly two hours late in getting
out of town. About the same time that
they departed the Burlington road took
out trains for Creston, Bedford, Corn
ing and Villisca, with the companies
and eXcursionists for those places.
1t was not till evening that the third
section Of the regimental train came In
from the west, and then the pro-
gramme had to be largely repeated, so
far as possible. The crowds were not
so large, but they were none the less
enthusiastic. Speeches were made at
the park. and the members Of Com
pany l. were received with great re-
Arrival at Des Moines.
DIES MONIES, Nov. 7.
The fighting Fifty-frst, with its
heroism on a dozen hard-fought battle
fields. was never so completely under
fire in all its months of service on the
firing line in a hostile country az were
the Des Moines companies when they
came home last night. Discriminating
from the Rock Island special at s
o'clock last night the two companies
were formed in the parade that awaited
them and marched through the bust
ness section, under such a blaze Of red
and blue fire, such flashing of rockets,
such faring of Roman candles, such be-
dazzling electric displays as Des Moines
has never seen before. Under clouds
of smoke, now tinted azure as the
torches OF blue lighted them; now red
as blood with the brilliancy of torches
or another color: anon purple and
murky as the two colors rivalled each
other for the predominance; under
showers of sparks which singed their
garments and threatened to start
conflagration any moment: beneath
flags and designs Of the national tri-
color; to the cheers of surgtng thou
sands and the moving strains OF mar
tial music-thus came the Flfty-first
home from It's year of service on the
other side of the world. from months

NATURAL GAS GONE.
Ohio Pipe Lines Costing Millions Now

A Finday. Ohio dispatch says: This
year will witness the passing of natural
gas as fuel in northwestern Ohio. The
mighty systems of pipe lines which car
ried gas to Toledo, Tiffin, Sandusky, Nor
walk and many smaller places, are being
abandoned and the pipes taken up. The
pump stations of the Northwestern Nat
ural Gas Company, the Standards repre-
sentative in the gas business, are shut
down for good, as are those of the city of
Toledo, which invested n million and a
half in the effort to give its people cheap
fuel, and now has only the old junk 70

wood TO keep their cook stoves going. Yet
it is but a few years since gas seemed to
be as free and permanent as air, and one
had only TO punch hole a matter of a
thousand feet into the earth to secure a
seemingly inexhaustible supply. The
waste Of this fuel in the early days of its
discovery was one of the greatest mis-

submit to Venezuela's demand for arbi
tration on the subject. Great Britain re-
fused and President Cleveland issued the
memorable message which resulted in al
American commission of investigation to
determine the true boundary. The com.
mission did not have to finish its work
because, after q long correspondence be-
tween Lord Salisbury and Secretary of
State Richard Olney, Great Britain final

cial treaty agreed with Venezuela to ac-

The land in dispute is over 10000 SOU

all the territory west of the Essequibo

Venezuela's claims are based on the
