FUNSTON SICK.
Could Not Appear at Reception
to Regiment in Frisco.

The following is from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of October 25:
The members of the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment showed last night at Me-
chanics' Pavilion how we'll they could
march, the occasion being a farewell
reception rendered the organization by
the army department of the Young
Mems Christian association. A large
crowd attended, and the proceeds of the
entertainment are to be used to assist
in a continuance of the work of the
Young Mems Christian association
among the soldiers,
On the reviewing stand were Major
General Shafter and staff, Colonel ]. H.
WhoIey and staff of the First Wash
ing regiment, Colonel ]. c. Loper and
staff of the Fifty-h first Iowa regiment,
L. NJ. Shaw, governor of Iowa, and
staff, Captain Goodrich of the battle
ship Iowa, Mayor Phelan and Mrs. John
F. Merrill, who represented the Red
Cross society. Numerous other guests
also occupied seats on the reviewing
stand. Brigadier General Fred Fun
stOn was unable to attend, as he was
i'll. Admiral Kautz of the United States
flagship Iowa was also indispOsed. The
band from the Iowa was in attendance,
and previous to the entrance of the
Kansas troops gave a, short concert.
At $50 o'clock the Kansas regiment
made it's appearance, headed by the
commander, Colonel MetcaIf and staff,
and band. The boys wore blue uni
forms and carried their rifles. They
were received with great enthusiasm
and gave dress parade, executing the
various movements with a splendid mil
itary swing and precision.
Led by the bands of the battleship
and the Kansas regiment. the audience
sang America after which the regi-
ment marched on to the main floor once
more and was drawn up in review be-
fore the stand. Mayor Phelan delivered
a brief address, after which the SOL
diers marched and counter-marched.
After this came an informal recep-
tiOn to the officers and men. The Moth
ers' club of the Army department of the
Young Mems Christian association
| served a supper for the regiment. The
officers of the club are: Mrs. B. c.
Wright, chairman; Mrs. H. A. Hill, vice
chairman; Miss Florence T. Perkins.
secretary; Mrs. T. c. Fedlar, treasur-
er. A promenade concert was given by
the two bands, who alternated playing
| the selections on the programme.

TO BUY OFF MASON.
He Is offered $4,000 a Year to Get
Out of Tanners Way.

Chicago, Oct. 28-The Herald sayst
Senator William E. Masons threat to
resign unless the administrations present
foreign policy is changed according to the
latest prophesy, may be executed before
Christmas. Persons who assume to be
well informed insist that he will step out
Immediately in pursuance of an arrange
ment which will change the whole face of
Republican politics in Illinois. The story
as widely circulated runs to this effect.
Senator Mason will resign in a few
weeks to take a high salaried legal posi-
tion-$12. 900 or more a year-with one of
the biggest corporations in the country,
having headquarters in Chicago. Cover
nor Tanner will then resign and Iieuten-
ant Governor NOrthcott, on succeeding to
the governorship, will appoint Tanner to
the vacant senatorship. With Tanner
thus eliminated from the gubernatori
situation Northcott can be made the
Organization candidate for next year.
The interests which are alleged to be
making Senator Mason their attorney at
a big salary with a long term contract
are interests which have a friendly feel
ing for Governor Tanners future.
