where at intervals during the progress
of the feast it discoursed appropriate
music.
1t was IL o'clock when Mayor Nc
Conochie, acting as tOastmaster,
made the opening remarks. speaking
briefly of the occasion. of the pleas
ure it gave the three cities to receive
and entertain the members of con-
gress, of the opportunity which it had
been the endeavor 10 give the repre-
sentatives in the halls of legislation
to see the arsenal, and to awaken the
interest that may not have been
shown to the extent that we would
have liked to have it shown hereto
fore, because the congressman were
not as fully informed as they should
he. The mayor spoke of this as the
finest location for an arsenal in the
world. He referred to the develop
ment that had already been made in
making it so. and all that is necessary
now is the machinery.

light appeared the Beers opened fire
and their fusillade lasted the whole
night through. There has been Il trC-

of ball cartridges were wasted on the
occasion of the night attack on the
Boer trenches. Double rationS have
been served out to the men. who are
under shelter. so as 10 be Oh the safe

back in disorder on their laager and

The enemy lost heavily. For hours
after their fighting line had been rolled

reply as the party dashed into the
trenches. There was a fearful Strug-

With Much Enthusiasm.
Owing to the fact that some of the
congressman present desired to catch
the night trains for Chicago, Toast
master McConochie explained it had

what from the prepared program. and

Cannon was greeted by a tremen-
dous ovation. Spontaneous though it
was. it was so enthusiastic that it was
some time before the subject of the
tribute could speak. 1t was the first
time he had been here, he said. and he
had spent very pleasant and protita-
BILE day. talking over material inter-
ests and observing as he went. The
congressman spoke of the impressions
he had gained from personal observa-
tion during the day, and in the same
time of the flood of memories that
came over him in contemplating the
history of Rock Island arsenal as he
knew it through his official relations
with it and with those who. represent
