THE CHARTERS" e
Can't Play the Returning Volunteers
from the Philippines as
Side Show.

Editor Tribune: The efforts to give
to the returning Philippine U. S. troops
a grand reception is drifting into Il shape
where we, as citizens of North Dakota,
cannot deliver the goods. We cannot
welcome them in a body. We cannot
have a long drawn out ceremony in any
n community. They will be discharged
and paid at Frisco. They are men
have long been away from friends, and
they each have their own ideas about
the good time they will have when at
home. Don't attempt to put them in
straight jackets. Have the committee
meet and greet them: bring home the
sick and disabled, and tcnderly care for
them; give all who want positions, their
old places, or better. Don't attempt to
hold them in line for display. Any old
veteran of the Union army will tell you
what he wanted on discharge. He
wanted what he considered a good time
in his own way and did not want to be
played as a local show. Let us give
them a natural, whole-soulcd home
greeting and ever remember their service
and give them for all time the preference
in public and private affairs.

IMPROVING.
Letter From Piatt Dunn, In the Mil
itary Hospital at Frisco.

SAN Francisco, CAL, July 26, 1899.
This will be a surprise to you but am
again among the only people that
inhabit the globe. One year ago tomor-
row at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the
good people of this city bade us farewell
and today ONE of the same folks are
here with kind words and good things to
eat for the boys. Am not we'll by any
means but am so I can get around. Was
going to make a sneak on you but we
will more than likely be here for two
months yet and you would by that time
know all about it. They had to carry
aboard the Morgan City at Manila,
but was able to get off myself. Gained
ten pounds on the trip. Paid for what
] ate; toast and tea was MY diet the
biggest part of my way over. 1 now
way 100 pounds and think I will be
back where l was in a month or so.
Have not seen anyone I know yet: no
one knows of our whereabouts. Tell the
boys l am all right. The regiment is
aboard the Grant and will be home in a
short time.
I saw Mrs. Maj. White yesterday and
had a long talk with her. She is a fine
lady. Will write again soon.

COMING HOME.
Grant Sails from Manila
Sunday Afternoon with the North
Dakota Regiment.
Col. Trueman Cables their Departure
from the Philippines and Says
All Are Well.
ARE COMING HOME.

There will be gladness all through
the state Of North Dakota today, the
news having come from Manila that
the North Dakota regiment started
home from Manila on the TRANSPORT
Grant Sunday afternoon. This was
the time set by the war department
for the departure Of the North Da-
kotans, and they were on the schedule.
The news Of their departure comes
in the form Of Il cablegram from Col.
Treumann, in command of the regi-
ment, stating that the regiment sailed
Sunday afternoon, and that all the
members of the regiment are well.
This will be good news to friends
and relatives of the boys, who have
been waiting anxiously for news Of
their sailing. The trip across will
take about thirty days, so that the
boys should be in San Francisco early
in September, and back home again
about the middle or latter part of that
month.

TRADERS LICENSE.
Senator Hansbrough Requests the
Department Not to Issue License
to Douglass and Mead.

The matter of the Indian leadership
at Standing Rock will not down. Col.
Robinson, it will be remembered, was
appointed trader at the agency by the
Indian department along last winter.
Douglass and Mead of Minneapolis were
established there as traders and since
that time there has been no definite
settlement of which firm has the exclu-
sive right to do the trading. Senator
H%ansbrough claims that the trading
right is IN exclusive privilege and that
Douglass and Mead are not entitled to
remain. On the other hand, the firm
has been enlisting Minnesota influence
to remain there and secure a license
again. They claim to have a $4,000
stock of goods and that they would
suffer great loss if forced out--although
they seem to have had time to close out
if they merely wanted to dispose of their
goods. The matter will probably be
finally settled in a few days.
