amount Of labor involved In the intri-
cate system of managing travelling

spread and meals for GOO attendants

What Walked Them.

Bill jackson, the hero of Willimantio,
has new story of Ell Caney. 1t is
about the Twelfth regulars, of which
Bill was one. The story dates from the
night attack. Captain Clarke, who was
a fine soldier and who seemed never to
sleep, hurried back from the trenches
TO where the men Of the company slept
and cried: "To armsl Get upl They
are coming at us
One or two men spraag to their feet,
and few sat up and drowsily rubbed
their eyes. The rest slept peacefully on,
dreaming of home perhaps. They were
dead tired. Then Captain Clarke began
10 swear. We will hope that in tie
excitement of the occasion the Angel
Gabriel failed to set it down against
the captain. Clarke hogan to swear and
to 20 from man to man, kicking each
one in turn. 1--WE are attacked Rally

But still the weary. tagged out mel
were Glow. They reused, but seeme5
uneble to shake off the meshes of sluu
Der which clogged their brains.
"For goodness sake, boys, wake up
cried the captain. and then, with sud
den inspiration. he shouted. Company
F, play ball
That settled it. The men were wide
awake in an instant. and led by their
captain, every man dashed for the
trenches to the relief of the detail al
ready there, and the enemy was thrust
back-as history will tell us.-Willl-

THE NIZHNI NovGOROD FAIR.
Importance of the United States Be-
Ing Represented Demonstrated.

A report to the State Department from
Consul Covert at Lyons lays great stress
on the desirability of the United States be-
ing fully represented at the coming annual
fair at Nizhni Novgorod, Russia, which Is
held during August and September. This
is the great annual gathering of buyers and
sellers who represent the commercial in
terests of Russia and the buying public of
all eastern and Asiatic Russia. 1t is a mar
ket that has up to the present time been
visited only by tourists, but France has
been studying the subject and an official
publication on the subject, the result of
over years study by a special agent of
the government, gives mass of informa-
ton concerning the annual fair and the
immense population that is to be reached
through representation there. Russia is
making great efforts toward industrial ex-
pansion and the development of the i'm
mense mineral resources of the Cral noun
tains and of all the country opened by the
Trans-Siberian railroad. The imperial gov
next ten years in all articles entering Rus
sia for use in the Ural and Siberian mines
Specimens of the machinery included in the
ukase will be largely exhibited at the Mimi
fair this summer. Everything pertaining
to railroad, mining and agricultural inter-
ests will receive attention of the people
who represent these interests now on the
eve Of development.
The Russian government realizes it's need
of assistance from the great manufacture
ing countries of the world in prosecuting
its commercial conquest of the populous
east, and is making every effort just now
to introduce modern machinery of the sorts
referred to, which it is not now in a posi-
ton to manufacture at home.
All agricultural implements, fertilizers.
etc, which may be exhibited at the great
fair will be brought to the attention of
every farmer in Asiatic and European
Russia through the medium of the "artels,''
or agricultural societies, which, under the
encouragement of the Russian government,
have multiplied rapidly in the past decade
France has established a consulate at
Nizhni, and her commercial representative
there lays great stress on the necessity not
only of France being well represented by
manu1acturing agents at the fair, but Of
sending such exhibits as will bring the
manufacturer in direct contact with the
Russian consumer, since the people will
not buy on oral representations, engravings
and catalogues.

PROBLEM OF TRANSFORMATION.
Scarcity of Ships to Send Reinforce
to

ments to Manila.
The purpose of the administration to send
large reinforcements to Gen. Otis at Manila
presents serious problem of trarsoorta-
ton to the officers of the quartermaster's
department.. About 1900 troops are under
orders to prepare for transportation to the
Philippines by way OF San Francisco and
the Pacific ocean. The troopships available
for this service are the Arizona, Scandia,
Newport, Morgan City, Zealandia. The last
named is the only one at San Francisco, all
the others being in the orient. The Zeaan-
dia IS now undergoing repairs, and will not
be ready for sea for three weeks She is a
small steamer, with a carrying capacity of
only 600 men The steamer City of Pueblo
which has been used in the government
transport service, has been reclaimed by
her owners, on the expration of the con-
tract time, and they have refused to renew
the contract.
The main dependence of the government.
therefore, in the transportation OF reinforce
ments to Gen. Otis rests upon the trans
ports now in eastern waters. The capacity
OF these steamers is as follows: Arizona,
loo; ScaDdia, 100; Newport GOO: Morgan
City. 100. According TO latest advices these
vessels will sail for San Francisco during
the next few days. Their schedule is as
follows: Leave Hong Kong-AriZona March
.; leave Nagasaki, Newport. March 10;
Scandia, March IL; Morgan City, March II
1t Will take these vessels about month
to make the long trip across the Pacific so
the quartermaster's officers will have ample
time to arrange for the organiza ton of the
expeditions in this country.
In addition to these vessels, three other
transports will shortly be available for the
service between the Philippines and the
United States. These are the Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan now on various stages
of the route between New York and Ma
Mia. The Grant is at Singapore about a
weeks journey from Manila. These vessels
will naturally require considerable over
destination, but it is calculated that all
three will be fully prepared to make the
long trip to the United States, either to
San Francisco or New York within the
next six months.

Senator Jones Condition improved.

Senator Jones of Arkansas is consider
ably improved today, and no immediate
danger is apprehended. His last attack of
heart trouble, which came yesterday while
carriage driving, is ascribed to overexer-
ton and overconfidence in his condition
The senator rested easily last night, but it
is stated that he will be subject to periodic
attacks unless he preserves the utmost
quiet and remains at home for at least a
month. Except upon an unforeseen con-
tingency, however, it is thought there need
be no alarm as to the outcome of his ILL
ness.

AT HAVANA.
General Julio Sangui11y Sails For
the United States.

HAVANA, Jan. 14-General Julio
Sanguilly, accompanied by four aides,
to-day sailed for Tampa, Fla, whence
to protest against the attitude assum-
ed toward him by Major General Lud-
low, Military Governor of the Depart
ment of Havana.
Major General Ludlow administered
the oath of allegiance to Senior Perfecto
La Coste, the newly appointed Mayor
of Havana, and Senior Frederico Mora,
the new Civil Governor, at noon to-
day at his headquarters in the Ingle-
terra Hotel. Senior La Coste later, in
the municipal offices, swore in the as
sistant Mayors and Councillors.
Mayor La Coste's salary has been
fixed at $4,000, but those of the other
officials have not yet been decided
upon, though it is probable that Gen
Menocal will receive $1,000 as Chief
Of Police.
Captain Gable, General Ludlow's
Adjutant, to-day found thirty-one
families in one tenement most of them
absolutely without food, the children
naked and many of them sick. The
patrols report hundreds of cases of
destitution, all of which will be re-
lieved by the systematic distribution
of rations by the authorities. The ra-
tions, as issued, consist Of eight ounces
of bacon, twelve ounces of flour, and
coffee and sugar. 1t is possible, how
ever, that a ration of rice, beans and
vegetables may be substituted.
