SELECTED SERGEANT BUNDE.

Company A.

He Becomes Second Lieutenant of
Company A.
Company A, Of the Fourth regiment
held an election last night at the Armory
to select second lieutenant to fill a va
cancy caused by the resignation of ex-
Lieut. Edward Meyerding Mr.. Meyerding
handed in his resignation under the i'm
preston that he would soon leave the
state. Circumstances ruled otherwise
and with Otto Sobotka and w. G. Bundle,
first sergeant, he was a candidate for
election last night.
The first ballot developed a contest
which proved exceedingly close. 1t was
inconclusive and resulted in a second,
which caused division. On the fifth
ballot Sergeant Bunde was elected with a
small majority. The successful candidate
is an old member of the company, en-
ployed in the office of United States Mar
shall Grimshaw.
After the election a short session was
devoted to the disposal of accumulated
business. It was voted to hold an in
formal dance in the Armory on the even
ing of Dec. 4, preceding which will be
held the individual competitive drill for
the Ehrmantraut medal.

The only union meeting held last even
ing was that of st. Paul Electrical Work
eFs' Union No. g. 1t was the regular
semi-monthly meeting, and the members
convened in Hall No. g. Assembly rooms.
There was a light attendance but this
was owing to the large number of cleo
tricians at present working nights. AS
a whole the union is in q most flourishing
condition. In the future it is expected
that the attendance will be much larger
at the regular meetings. as work in this
line is expected to slack up At present
electricians are as hard pressed with
rush of business as the railway train
men. No new members were initiated
last evening, and in the short session
nothing but a small amount of routine
business was transacted. Receipts, $500;
no expenses.
BARRIERS Agreement Satisfactory.
At the meeting of the boss BARRIERS, to
be held this evening at Assembly halls,
Ii is expected that the members will COM
pare notes on the success of their new
scale of prices. On Nov 15 q new scale
went into effect among a large majority
of the boss BARRIERS, whereby they agreed
cents, and a number of other changes
from the then prevailing rates. So far
as Is learned, the agreement has been a
success, and 1t is thought that tonight
others may come into the new organiza-
ton. Little, if any. dissatisfaction Is
heard from any quarter.
Meetings for Tonight.

scheduled for this evening at Assembly

Meetings for Tonight.
FEARED 1T WAS LEPRosY.
COIOred Boys Malady Caused a Bad
Scare Among the NeiEhbOrs.

Considerable excitement is prevalent on
the West side over the condition of Peter
Sparks, a siX-year-old colored boy, living
with his parents at 81 East Fillmore ave-
nue., who is i'll with a peculiar disease
The boys face and body is a mass Of
sores and scabs. He was seen running
about the streets Saturday, when it was
believed the boy was a victim of small
poX, and the police were at once notified
of the case. Afterward 1t was currently
rumOred that the boy was afflicted with
leprosy. Both Of these stories spread
about on the West side, and the neighbor-
hood was decidedly uneasy. Assistant
City Physician Weirick has studied the
case thoroughly, however, and says there
need be no alarm, as the disease is neither
smallpox nor leprosy, though strongly re-
sembling in symptoms the latter disease.
He says the boy is afflicted with what is
technically known as erythema multi
form, a rare skin disease. While the dis
ease is both contagious and infectious,
DR. Weirick says it is not dangerous and
that the boy will recover.
From the condition Of the boy 1t is little
wonder that people who saw him were
startled. His face is a blotch of sores,
while DR.. Weirick says there is not an
inch of cuticle on@his body that is I'M
affected. The disease first manifests it
self in-tAs-~foFm- Of small blisters rising
on the skin. The. hlisters- become quite
large and then break seabs form and
aboutzsthea scabsszather smaller blisters
make their appearance. physicians say
the disease is YeEy nuchslike leprosy in
its outward symptoms, but DR.. Weirick
emphatically declares tfifss is not what
afflicts the colored boy in this diagnosis
he is supported by Drs. Foster, REM.
Teasler and Leavitt, who examined the
hoy Sunday. AS the disease is quite rare
several. photographs of the boy were
taken. =
The boys parents are healthy, strong
people, while he has an older brother that
has scarcely had a sick day in his life.
The disease made its first appearance a
week ago. Under the treatment adopted

NEW YORK, Dec. 23--A sun special

Francisco for Hangkong tomorrow will

will he intrusted with the important
and interesting duty OF seizing an
island In the Pacific ocean and placing
American authority over II. IL his in
structions are carried out, Wake island,
a detached and lonely speck in that
marine area known as Micronesia, will
formally become a possession of the
United States, and thus form another
link in the insular chain connecting
the American continent with the new
ly acquired Far Eastern territory en-
braeed in the Philippine archipelago.
The proposal TO acquire Wake island
has been under consideration ever since
the Spanish Peace Commissioners In
Paris declined the offer OF the Ameri-
can Commissioners to purchase an
island in the Caroline islands to be
used as a cable and naval coaling sta
tiOn.
II is anything but a pleasant place Of
residence, but its geographical situa-
tion Is such that II affords a natural
relay point for a submarine cable be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippines by way OF Honolulu, and the
island OF Guam, in the Ladrones. Wake
island Is right in a direct line between
the Hawaiian islands and the I.adrones,

REGISTRATION OF SHIPS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Many cf-
forts by Pacific coast men are being
made to have changed the date In the
Hawaiian bin which makes effective
all changes Of the sovereignty OF the
republic before the time OF the raising
~ the flag. One of the protests which
has come to Senator Perkins sets forth
that there were purchased and put und-
or the nag of the Republic OF Hawaii
several ships, which, II the date OF the
American supremacy is made July 7th,
when the President signed the resolu-
tion, instead OF August 18th, when the
flag was raised, will be without any
flag. These purchases are said to have
been made between those dates, and
made in good faith.
There is another point which Is to be
taken up In this relation. Under the
bill OF the committee there are named
three supports OF entry which will be
opened when the bill becomes a law.
These are not the only ports which are
now in receipt OF business--that is,

group such an amount of commerce
that there should be extended to ship
pers there all the accommodations
which the SUPPORTS give. II Is pro-
posed by Senator Perkins that there
be given TO the Secretary of the Treas
ury power 10 name such supports of
entry as may be deemed necessary in
the future, and this will accomplish the
ends aimed to be reached by the men
of the coast who are now shipping and
clearing cargoss from those parts OF
the Islands which are not included in
the bill as reported There is said to
he in the bill an attempt to make all
the commerce OF the Islands pay trib-
nte TO Honolulu.

MORGAN'S GREAT FIGHT.

WASHINGTON. Cd. Co., Dec. 23.-
The advocates OF the building of the
Nicaragua canal are taking heart in
face OF the opposition OF many Senators
20 the Morgan bill, and it is now be-
sieved that there will be action In the
upper house before the close of the
month OF January. II is rumored to-
night that the Administration will
make the bill an Administration meas
ure, and will so secure action before
the peace treaty can be reported TO the
Senate from the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
The plan of Senator Morgan to hold
meetings of his committee during the
recess and examine into any attempt
TO influence the action OF Congress on
the part of any lobby, presumably OF
railroad men, has not yet borne fruit,
and there Is some doubt whether there
will be any meetings held.
II Is the belief that the action OF
Senator Morgan was taken as a strong
blum, and that he has been able to
scarce of any men who might hope TO
delay action on the bill.
