night and was brought out here today.
We were very glad to receive letters
from home and also papers.
/ will give you few particulars of
the battle. We were called out about
$50 Saturday night, February 4th,
and marched to reinforce our outpost,
but when we got there the firing ceas-
ed, so all but two companies returned
to quarters. About 1890 the insur-
gents opened fire on our men all along
the line and we were at once ordered
out again and have been here ever
since. Two men of Company l were
killed and several were wounded.
Our regiment was all iu line before
blockhouse No. at daylight Sunday
morning and at about seven we were
ordered to charge and take the place,
which we did very gallantly. We had
distance Of about 1900 yards. There
is no reason why our friends at home
need be at all ashamed of Co. X, for
we were the first to reach the block
house and the first to assemble and
pour volley after the running insur-
gents. There were two insurgents
who kept firing at Lieut. Roskie and
myself. The one after me ran first
and | do not know whether he was
killed or not, but the one after Lieut..
Ro.aie waited little too long and
when he broke and ran he only got
about three rods when he fell. Twas
ordered over to the right to take
charge Of some earth works.
About one o'clock we were ordered
to join the firing line, which had al
ready left the blockhouse. We ad-
vanced about two miles, fighting hard
all Of the way. 1t was Ia this advance
that the Co. II man was shot through
the head and killed. We, with the
10th Pennsylvania Volunteers took a
strong position Of the enemy In shape
Of a large stone church with stone
wall around 1t, enclosing about five
acres, and strong stone fort. 1t was
here that the two boys Of my COM
pany were wounded.

tance to write / will close.

Mail arrived from Hong Kong Las
Brookings weekly register. (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1898-1903, 1899-03-30

The widespread public interest I'm
contest for the fast mail contract bc-
tween Chicago and Omaha has caused
one to temporarily overlook the SINH
lar achievement Of the Great North
ern railway In establishing quick mail
communication from New York, via
Chicago and St. Paul, to Seattle, and
thence to the Orient. The fast Pacific
mail service by way OF St. Paul to the
Puget Sound country is now quite a.
remarkable as that via Omaha to San
Francisco. On January 3 the Great
Northern placed In service fast
through mail and passenger train
from Chicago to Seattle, on which the
mail pouches never once leave the car
after the transfer at st. Paul.
From New York to Seattle the time
by this Northern route Is just four
days. East CfSt. Paul the mails are
carrid on several roads, but west Of
that city--on a run exceeding the
eastern portion by 500 miles-the
mail gees through without change
across five great states on the tracks
of the Great Northern. Forty-fivc
minutes are consumed in transferring
the mails In Chicago and thirty min-
utes In ST. Paul. After that the
Northern Oriental flyer does the rest
without pause until the Asiatic
mails 60 on board the steamers OF the
Japan Mail Steamship Company.
Both the Importance Of Seattle as an
Oriental shipping point and the speed
Of the Great Northern transcontinsn-
tai mail service make the achievement
noteworthy feature of American
railway progress.
The Puget Sound cities have already
become formidable rivals of SAM
Francisco as regards the freight and
and passenger traffic for Japan, China,
and Asiatic ports. The steamer route
from Seattle to the Orient seems to
be more free from storms than that
from San Francisco, and az large
proportion Of the Oriental exports are
products of the Northwest the freight
traffic has naturally taken this course.
The fact that the full capacity of the
Japan Mail Steamship Comp'y's boats
is engaged as far ahead as next Au-
gust, Is in itself striking proof OF
the growing importance OF the ORR
entail trade that has its outlet at
Seattle.
For these and other reasons the fast
mai! to the Pacific coast, forswhich
the Great Northern holds the govern
msnt contract, is fully as important
a. that which daily rushes across the
plains and mountains to Francisco.
The Great Northern has been az much
alive to the keen rivalry for speed and
honors as have the Northwestern,
Rock Island, and Burlington, and IL
Is but fair that the achievements OF
its fast daily transcontinental mail
should be included In tho new chapter
OF railway advancement now being
written by the Western railroads.

Halls Family Pills are the best.

Intelligent men from nearly every
section of the South and West bring
similar reports to Washington con-
corning the loss Of prestige by Bryan
and silver. Col. P. Lannon, editor of
the Salt Lake, Utah, Tribune, who is
visiting Washington, said: "The most
ardent believers in free silver are
forced to admit that the issue is about
dead. The trend of events since '96
has forced it into oblivion, and how
ever much we may adhere to the
white metal from principle, it has
been eliminated as a living factor in
the politics of the day. AS for Col.
Bryan, while many of us admire him,
it must be said that his prestige is on
the wane. But no matter whether the
democrats name Bryan or some other
man, Mckinley is going to succeed
himself" Col. Lannon says of the
case of Roberts, the polygamist rep
resentative- elect: eff his claim to
membership in the House is rejected,
as it ought to be, there will be good
ground for national rejoicing.''

HOW GARRETT A. HOBART UP
SET DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.

Hon. Garrett A. Hobart, Vice Presi-
has lust recovered from a severe ILL
ness, has taken stand as regards So
cial rank in Washington which is
without precedent, at least for good
many years. This was when he placed
himself ahead of Sir Julian Pauncefote
at social gathering of the Diploma
tic Corps and Cabinet.
AS many will no doubt remember,
Great Britain's representative has
heretofore taken precedent over
every one save the President at all
social and state functions in Washing
ton. Sir Julian Pauncefote, now Brit
ish Ambasss dor, supposed that there
would be no change when the present
Administration came in, but in this he
was mistaken. In behalf of his office
and himself, Mr.. Hobart assumed pre-
cedence of all save his chief, and the
President supported the Vice Presi-
dents position. Sir Julian is a gentle
man, and eventually he accepted the
situation, though not without some
detailed consultation with the home
office.
Before he went abroad, Sir Julian
had refrained from attend various
functions at which he might meet the
Vice President, but Immediately after
reaching Washington again he has
tened to pay his respects to that Of
fetal in formal call, which was duly
and properly returned within the
conventional three days. 1t was dip
lomatically conveyed to Sir Julian
soon afterward that Mr.. Mckinley
thought no one of any station what
ever ought to come between him and
the Vice President, and since that time
the precedent question has crystalized
itself quite satisfactory.

pines, right up to date in everything.
He has just asked for proposals for
three electric horseless carriages, for
the purpose OF experimenting with
them to ascertain what uses they can
be put to by the signal corps. Gen.
Greeley believes that they can be
made especially useful in connection
with the hurried erection of field lines
of telegraph, and his first experiments
will be in that direction. The signal
corps has already demonstrated, by
actual experiments, that the much
talked about system of wireless teleg-
raphy has not been sufficiently per-
fected to make it safe to depend upon
it for the transmission of important
messages, although Gen. Greeley ex-
presses confidence thatit can be made
useful in many directions, even as it
is now, and that it will be greatly i'm
proved in the near future.

ADMIRAL DEWEY ON THE
PHILIPPINES.

Z A Boston Journal correspondent,
who claims to have interviewed Ad-
miral Dewey since his arrival at Hong
Kong, sends his paper the following
article giving the Admiral's opinion
as to retaining the Philippines:
ST have the greatest enthusiasm in
the future of the Philippines. I hope
to sec Americas possessions the key
to Oriental commerce and civiliza-
ton. The brains of our great coun-
try will develop the untold agricultu-
raj and mineral richness of the islands.
We must never sell them. Such an
action would bring on another great
war. We will never part with the
Philippines am sure, and in future
years the idea that anybody should
have seriously suggested it will be
one of the curiosities of history.
"The instruction is broken. There
will be no more hard battles, and the
new era for the islands, that was tenn
porarily delayed by the rising, will
soon begin. Aguinaldo and his Gen.
0IdlS Auou NO CdPuuAC O, oAA ohOh ohO
very semblance of an instruction will
cease.
ssAguinaldo's name is the real power
among the natives. Wherever we go,
it is always Aguinaldo. The officers
of the Tagalogs, civil and military,
tell us they have no power to treat
for peace until they hear from Agui-
naldo. Foreigners and natives, testi-
flying before the Peace Commission,
all testify to the same state of affairs.
Many of the island provinces that
were once warlike are anxious for
peace, and will accept the American
terms as soon as the Tagalogs of Lu-
zon are whipped into line, but they
dare not treat with US as long as
Aguinaldo has the power to confiscate
property or punish those who offend
him.
'sThe end is not far off, if we push
right after them. We must concen-
trate our troops and vigorously pros
ecute the campaign in Luzon. That
is our whole tack. The southern ISL
ands will quickly fall into line. This,
I hope, will not be long in happen
ingn

WALL STREETS NEW LEA DER.

Arson r. Flower, head of the firm
of Flower & Co., undoubtedly will
succeed Roswell P. Flower as a bull
leader of Wall street. The former
Governor was a hearty, sturdy and
rugged character about whom the pub
lie delighted to rally and to whom the
modest Flower brothers were delight
ed to accord the title Of head of fam
lily as we'll as of the firm.
Wiohout detracting bit from the
reputation of Roswell P. Flower, Wall
Street men freely admit that the gen.
Jus of the firm of Flower & Co. act
ualiy has been the quiet, modest, re-
firing younger brother, whom every
one il Wall Street knows as "Anson
r." Since they were associated in the
iewelry business in Watertown the
two brothers were close confidants as
we'll as business partners. Arson r.
planned and quietly executed many
of the most brilliant financial coups
which made the house famous. 1t is no
secret that he planned the whole

the advice, of course, of his brother,
and every one of the deals by which
the system secured its monopoly of
the traction lines of Brooklyn.
On "Blue Friday" April 7, when the
Street was threatened with disastrous
panic, Arson r., without the advice
of his brother, who was away fishing
and could not be reached by wire, un-
hesitatingly risked 100000 of the
firms money to save it's honor and to
protectIits custom ers. That is why
Wall Street has confidence in him, and
it explains how disastrous panic was
averted when Ex.-Gov. Flower died.
Mr.. Flower will be 56 years old in
June. He is married, but childless.
He is deeply religious, aid is mem

brother was buried.

DEWEY AND DEATH At MANILA.

This poem, which first appeared in
the Hanford, CAL, Journal, was writ
ten by Frank J. Walker of that place.
Mr.. Walker is a native of Psacham
and has expressed his enthusiasm of
the Admiral's achievements in the
following poem:
They near at night the hostile port;
The sheltered foe their coming waits,
With heavy guns of feet and fort
Guarding Manila's ocean gates.
What courage then each sailor feels
AS toward the goal his vessel runs
The one strong arm is at the wheels,
And holds the lanyards of the guns.
Would Dewey wait for wind or tide
Or tarry till the break of dawn?
Not he-to halt or turn aside
He drove his prows straight on and on
Through darkness headed for the foe,
Past shotted guns on either shore,
Der hidden dangers none might know,
On, past the dread Corregidor.
And all night long the ocean hound
His gray pack led about the bay
Like bIoodhounds hunting for their
prey.
And with the light welcome sight
Oh, sailors, hail the dawn of May!
The foe, he covers in alright,
Within yon lee of Cavite!
Still Dewey holds his fire, and lulls
The rising storm, as on he led;
O., Il Ill He,
ssTurn loose the Yankee guns!" he
said.
Then thunder racked the tropic Gains
And shrill, the battle bolts were hurled
The native meath his mountain palms
Knew that an earthquake shook the
world.
Each sailors arm was nerved with might
And deadly sure each gunner's aim;
While Death stood by with grim de-
light,
Helping them win the awful game.
Their steady guns in that mad hour,
Mid shrieking armor- piercing shell,
From BARTLETT, turrett, top and tower,
Rained on the foe the wrath Of hell.
Montojo marked our moving line
Wind round and round and drawing
higher,
Through steam and smoke and seeth-
ing brine
An iron serpent fanged with fire.
Fiercely the battle tempests broke
And smote his ships from top to keel
And one was wreathed with flame and
smoke,
Another pierced with plunging steel /;
Till each and all begrimed with gore,
Were sick and wounded unto death;
And fainter grew their fire, and slower,
Then died away-a passing breath.
The guns are hushed on bay and fort;
Four hundred sons and the ships of Spain
Have passed to their eternal port
To join the martyrs of the Maine.
This day, the Spanish tyrant's power
Was shattered with his sunken fleet
The Yankee gunner had his hour
And 10, kingdom at our feet.
Salute the Admiral! For him
He wreathes fresher crown today;
His glory time shall never dim
Sailor. salute the Morn of May!

through Kew asylum, Victoria, a few

clock in the corridor, one of them
looking quickly at his watch, said: Is
that clock right? No, you idiot, said a

here if were all right.
