panies made short speeches to their
men just before marching to the pay

men were now all citizens. The men
cheered the captains and mastering
officers as they lined up for the last

regiment, so that it required more time
making their records.

comrades, then hurried to the city to
find boarding places until Friday, when

SECRETARY ROOT RETURNS.

Refuses to Affirm or Deny Reports that
Merritt is to Succeed Otis.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Secretary Of
War Root returned to the city last night
from his visit to the president at Lake
Champlain. That the campaign in the
Philippines is to be pushed vigorously
and promptly is evident from a remark
the secretary made to the reporters. He
was determined, he said, that every
man belonging to the 20 regiments of
volunteers now being recruited shall eat
his Christmas dinner in that country.
This statement was brought out by a
reference to the published report that
ten Of these regiments were to be held
in the United States as a reserve force.
Regarding the reports that General
Wesley Merritt, who has also been at
Lake Champlain, in conference with
the president and his war secretary, is to
succeed General Otis in command of
the troops in the Philippines, Secretary
Root was no-committal. He evaded all
questions on this point and declined to
make any positive statement whatever
in regard to the subject.

WIN Not Deal with Otis.

Hone KONG, Aug. PA prominent
Filipino says that Aguinaldo will v
negotiate with General Otis for
peace. The Filipinos assert that the
American military leaders p~recipitated
the hostilities in February, when an.
amicable arrangement was possible.
Therefore, they distrust Otis. They
also desire an explicit declaration from
the congress at Washington. The Fill
pinos express profound trust in Admiral
Dewey. They apparently believe him
to be the only man who can achieve q
peaceful settlement. They appear con-
fident Of being able to maintain a suf-
ficient stock of war munitions to sue
c~essfully resist the American forces.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-The state
department has been informed through
a diplomatic channel that General Otis

has been under consideration for some
time and it was not known that Cen
eral Otis had put the exclusion laws
into force.

on the highest authority that no definite
reply has been sent to the proposal of
the British secretary of state for the

submit to joint commission Of inquiry

ton that the alternative proposals of the
Transvaal government are for q five
years franchise and a one-fifth repre-
sentation Of the uitlanders in the first
raad, provided the imperial government
does not further interfere in the inter-
nal affairs Of the Transvaal. The situa-
ton is now regarded as tending to i'm
prove. The wal ammunition consigned

THE SOLDIERS OF THE SUN

Along the margin of the world They march with their bright banners furl- ed, Until in line of battle drawn They reach the boundaries of dawn They cross the seas and rivers deep, They climb the mountains high and steep, And hurry on until in sight Of their black enemy-the Night.
 t Then madly rush into the fray These armies of the Night and Day. Swiftly the shining arrows go, While bugling Winds their warnings blow. Strive as he will, the Night Is pressed Farther and farther down the west, With golden spear and gleaming lance The cohorts of the day advance. Thus daily, is the battle won By the brave soldiers of the Sun!

FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.
A Young Man Attacked While Robbing
 Its Nest.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Harold c. Ward. son of Major A. H. Ward, of Alameda, has returned from trip into the mountains of southern Santa Clara county, where he had an exciting night adventure while robbing the nest of a golden eagle. Ward Is carrying his left arm in a sling Describing his singular experience he said:
 'I went down Monday to Sargent's Sta tion to spend a week with the eagles, in- tending to study their nesting habits and to collect some of their handsome eggs.
 Tuesday night about o'clock it was suggested that we try our luck by the light of the moon, and we determined to visit an eagles nest which we knew of in big sycamore three or four miles distant. We set out with fish basket to hold the eggs and pair of climbing irons. It was about 10 o'clock when I began to climb the syca- more. There were no birds in sight. but just as I reached the branch near which the nest was built in big fork saw that the eagle was at home.
 'It rose. bristlng out all Its feathers and making hissing sound. I had not ex- pected any such opposition, and with startled yell I struck at the creature with my hat. There was a swish of wings and the bird sailed off,
 'I moved along nearer the nest, built of sticks as big as my arm, and then suddenly got grip on the limb and ducked. There was a rush through the air a few inches from my head that seemed to me like a small cyclone. Fight him off called out my companion, and summoning all the nerve had, got out my big clasp knife.
 'I had not long to wait for chance to use 1t. With an angry scream the eagle swooped down for me. Locking my legs tightly about my perch and seizing hold of limb on my left was just in time to prepare for the blow. The bird struck me squarely in the breast, nearly stunning me with it's wings, while 1t sank its talons in my left arm to the bone. I struck at it with the knife, but 1t was blind with fury and fought desperately for my eyes.
 II felt my blood flowing, while my clothes passes it made. I knew that soon must fall to the ground. or be cut to pieces away up there in the tree. It was dread full sensation. With howl of pain and ter TOT I made a last effort, and plunged the knife deep into the eagles body. It seemed for moment that it would keep on fight ing me, but, weakening, it released its hold and fell off slantingly, to be lost in the gloom, carrying my knife with it.
 'I was too weak to do anything but hold on for some minutes, and then you can wager took long breath of relief. Feeling sure l was now well quit of the eagle I recalled what was up in the tree for. and, looking into the nest saw two fine eggs, which I lowered safely into the basket"
