Echoes of Reunion Day.

Returned volunteers will be given
free transportation on the railroads to-
morrow on the occasion of the Grand
Army celebration at Saltair.
Very few medals have been un-
claimed by volunteers, and the undeliv-
cred badges of honor will be mailed by
the governor today to the addresses
shown in the muster-out rolls.
1t is the general sentiment that the
ladies who prepared and served the
banquet to the volunteers on Satur-
day have not received the full credit
that is their due for the magnificence
of the arrangements.
Governor Wells will recommend to
the war department this week the
names of several members of the bat
terieS who have seen service in the
Philippines to receive commissions for
lieutenantcies and captaincies in the adj
ditiOnal regiments TO be recruited and
sent to the Orient
Adjutant General Burton has a lot
of mail matter addressed to several of
the battery boys while they were in
Manila, and also at the Preside. Not
knowing their present addresses. Cen
eral Burton requests the batterymen to
call ON him at the State Bank of Utah
for their unclaimed letters, or to send
their addresses fer forwarding.
With reference to The Heralds state
ment that the reign of chaos at the
banquet tables, which prevented the
systematic distribution of medals, was
due TO the disregard of orders given
by General Pe1rose to his aide, a. ].
Malloy. Mr.. Malloy declares that he
followed the instructions of his chief
as fully as it was possible to do. Gen
eral Penrose does not deny that The
Herald's statement was correct, but he
acquits his aide by saying that no hui
man being could have succeeded in es-
corting the batteries and the other vol
unteers in order through the mighty
throng and assigning them to seats in
the manner arranged for.
How to dispose of the surplus in the
volunteers celebration fund is puzzling
the governor and members of the com
mittee on celebra ton. The executive
committee will hold a meeting as soon
as all the expense bills are in, and their
early presentation is desired to close
up the business in hand. AT this meet
ing il will be determined whether the
balance, estimated at
81 900. will be applied to the volunteers
memorial to be erected. to pay for en-
the Colorado. Nebraska and
volunteers when they
pass through the city. TO bring home
Utah members of the Fourth cavalry
and regular infantrymen. or to distrib-
ute the money TO the battery heroes.

MASS OF TROPHIES.
Sergeant Aldrach's Collection of Fill
ipino Souvenirs.

Without question Sergeant Will f.
Aldrach of battery A has the largest
and most complete collection of war
trophies and Filipino souvenirs that
any batteryman has brought home.
Probably he has more than all the 9TH
ers combined. When Sergeant Aldrach
was not in active service or keeping up
an interest in the artillery band, he
was devoting his time and spending his
money in the collection of souvenirs.
The interesting collection consists of
enough rare brass and reed instruments
to equip a band, Spanish books, govern
ment documents. church altar orna
ments, a Filipino flag, coins. photo
graphs by the hundred. taken with
his own kodak, sea shells, gun shells.
Spanish and native ornaments, bric-a
brac trinkets. tools walking sticks
and other things in great variety and
of choice selection and rare value.
Probably the greatest interest at
tacheS to his large collection of guns,
shells, knives. spears and other imple
ments of warfare Many of these the
sergeant captured himself. Two cigar
cite guns are very quaint old weap-
ons.
Sergeant Aldrach will probably yield
to entreaties to have his souvenir coll
lection placed on exhibition in a store
window until he departs for his home
at Clear Lake. The sergeant was the
only volunteer who enlisted from Mil
lard county. and when he goes home
rousing reception is to be rendered him
by the good people of his county. The
county's honors will be his without di-
vision, and the hero will surrender to
the entertaining throng at Fillmore on
Fr'da-T evening.

Spanish Fork Soldiers.
Especial Correspondence


Springville. Aug. 21.-This city today
saw more display and glory in well
comes TO volunteers. Three of Spanish
Forks soldiers from the Philippines
came in from Salt Lake this morning
on the Sanpete passenger on the Rio
Grande Western, a delegation of about
200 people from the town to the south
to receive them. The Philippine vete-
rams were Corporal Stephen Bjarnson'
and Privates Elmer and Andrew p
Nelson. The Spanish Fork delegation
was accompanied by Sergeant Fred S.
Dart and Privates Uri Stewart and
SandersOn of TOrrey's rough riders. The
Spanish Fork band made music for the
march of citizens in carriages, on
horseback and for a large number Of
bicyclists. A large number of Spring
vile people assembled at the depot to
assist in the welcome, and several hun
dred were along the line of march.
At the outskirts of Spanish Fork large
numbers of citizens met the volunteers
and delegation. and after an informal
welcome all proceeded to the city hall.
where a sumptuOus banquet was par
taken of. Private \. o. Humphrey of
this city was a guest of Spanish Fork.
After the banquet everyone assem-
bled at the grand city pavilion. where
a fine programme was carried out.

Twentieth Ward Volunteers-Sug-
gestions of How to Dispose of
Surplus Fund.

In the echoes of the ceremonious
homecoming of the Utah batteries the
question is frequently asked if the eight
| guns used in the Philippine campaigns
viii be returned to the state as SOU
venirs. Such is the desire of every pa
triotic citizen, but how or when the
guns may be given to the state is the
problem to be solved. Major Frank A.
Grant made every effort to have the
cannon brought back with the boys as
mementoes OF the part Utah took in
the war. The guns cannot vet be
spared, and it is his belief that soe-
clal act OF congress Will be necessary
TO secure them.
Both Major Young and Governor
Wells are of the opinion that the peo-
pie of Utah do not desire TO have the
eight guns which were so admirably
manned and fired by the volunteers in
hundred victorious battles, overhauled
and sent back to be charged against
the state as part of the national guard
equipment. But as memeztoes to grace
the public parks of the state or to add
lustre to the monument to be erected
TO the memory of Utah's deceased SOL
diers, the governor and the batteries
commanders believe the people would
receive and care for them with grateful
appreciation.
Such rapid strides are being made
in artillery" said Major Young yester-
day. that the Utah guns will soon be
out of date and undesirable for our ma
tionai guard equipment. Recoil rapid
fire devices are coming into use, and
since the state has a large sum to its
credit for equipment, we should be able
to get modern guns for the national
guard batteries to be reorganized.
Major Young made repeated but un-
successful efforts to secure for the state
a couple of Spanish guns captured in
the siege of Manila by the Utah bat
teries. Under the terms of capitula
ton of Manila by the Spanish forces,
said Major Young, the enemy was al
lowed to retain everything in the way
of ordnance, and not even a aMuSer
rifle is supposed to be in any Americans
possession as a trophy of the war. If
a Spanish cannon is secured by Utah
l presume it will have to be by pur-
chase. but even that is doubtless inn
However, Utah is sure to be the re-
cipient of one of the Spanish guns cap
tured in Cuba, but the sentimental
worth of one of these will be slight
with the historic interest at
taching to the eight Utah guns and two
Spanish cannon captured at Manila by
our boys. After the war with the Fill
pinos is over il ought not to be diff
cult for Utahs delegation in congress
to secure for the state the desired tro-
plies of the war participated in by the
