Tho Kansans Pleased Them.

Yokohama, Sept. IS. via San Fran
cisco, Oct. 10.-The Twentieth Kansas
regiment has come and gone, adding
materially to the very favorable i'm
preston made by all the American
troops who have passed through here
on their homeward way. The one
man who has been the center of attrac-
ton has, of course, been Gen. Funston.
His modest bearing and strong person
atty have made him as great a favorite
among the citizens as he manifestly is
among the men of his own regiment.

City Governments In Luzon.

Washington, Oct. 1O.-Maj. Gen. Otis
has informed the war department of
his adoption of a scheme of local gov

as there may be wards in the town,
which shall be charged with the main
tenance of public order and regulation
of municipal affairs. It will, by
majority vote, administer the munich
pal government, but no ordinance or
decree shall be enforced until approved
by the commanding officer of the

LESSONS IN SHOOTING.
Soldiers Receive Instruction an to
Gravity, Air Resistance and
Other Points.

He is taught that the bullet travels
through the air in curved line, called
the trajectory, and that three forces
act upon it; first, the exploded charge,
tending to drive it forward in straight
line along the line of fire; second, the
force of gravity; and, third, the air re-
sistance. At 200 yards, owing to these
forces, the bullet, travelling at the rate
of 1000 feet second, will have fallen
about two feet. In the excitement Of
firing at close quarters the aim will in
variably be too high. It has been cal.
culated that when the enemy approach.
es within $50 yards the soldiers will in
stinctively fire as much as two feet OF
three feet above their heads. Now, it
has been found by experiment that the
fact of fixing bayonets will cause the
bullet to drop a distance of about 2H
feet in $50 yards, and, therefore, when
about this distance from the enemy sol
diers are instructed to fix bayonets, ir
order to counteract the excessive eleva
ton Of their aim.
The recruit learns that the mean ex
IRENE range of the bullet is $500 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3,760 yards. He is taught the pene-
trating power of his weapon, subject
full of interest. To take one or two
examples, rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls, while
q concentrated fire of about $50 rounds
at 200 yards will breach a nine-inch
brick wall. Only experience can teach
a soldier how much he must aim to the
right or left of his mark to counteract
the force of the wind. A side wind has
more effect on the fight of the bullet
than a wind blowing directly toward
the firer. The soldier must learn the
habits of his rifle, since some shoot
higher or lower than others. Every
rifle, like every marksman. has its owY

TIE NEGRO SOLDIER.
White OmcerY Accord Him Praise for
His Services During the Span
ish.American War.

The colored troops enrolled in the reg
nlar army in Cuba won the respect of
all. The Twenty-fourth and Twenty
fifth infantry and the Ninth and Tenth
cavalry were not less brave nor less a
credit to the army in 1898 than the
rough riders, and well earned their
need of praise and honors, as the his
tory of the strife will record. The
Twenty-fourth charged up the hill at
Ell Caney in the open without the least
protection from the iron hailstorm that
fell on them. When the dread yellow
fever broke out and nurses were needed
this brave regiment was paraded by
companies, and, says the narrator:
1.-THE dreadful condition of the sick was
explained to them and they were told
that whoever would volunteer to do
nurse duty in the awful pesthole might
take one step forward. At the signal
every man in the entire line advanced
a step forward" Maj. Markley wrote
of them: 1.-THE noncommisSioned Off
GERS and all do all kinds of duty. The
men are noble fellows; not one has
shirked." Gen. Liscum had indeed good
reason to declare that he was proud of
his command.
At the close of the civil war President
Lincoln said: 'All things considered,
they (the negro troops) have proved
themselves as good soldiers as any,"
After the civil war policy was adopted
of having one-fifth of the standing army
of colored soldiers. While the behavior
of the regular colored troops has, it is
claimed, been equal to that of white
men in similar circumstances, serious
complaint has been justly made as to
the conduct of some negro volunteer
regiments quartered in the south. In
have been generally traced to the ineH-
cheney of the white volunteer officers
and to laxity of discipline.
The young negro is ebullient and full
of animal spirit and more mutinous
than the white man until thoroughly
disciplined. The discipline must not
be perfunctory or merely on parade.
but constant and educational. Aztec.
ton and respect for the true military
master can be relied on, and under COM
mand of officers trained in military
spects for soldierly as we'll as for moral
qualities, the negro is faithful, brave
and enduring. Such are the men of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, among whom de-
sertion from the ranks is almost I'M
known. Their leader, Col. Burt, vet
eran of the civil war and of many an
Indian campaign, could boast of one of
the best disciplined commands in the
army. His rule was united with such
considerater treatment of his men that,
while he commanded a degree of re-
spect bordering on fear, he had strong
hold on their affections. 1t may be we'll
expected that the negro will continue to
add his quota to the army of the union,
and, as much of that army will serve
in the newly-acquired warm lands, the
proportion will not be less than it has
been since 1s67.-James Cleland Hamii
ton, in Anglo-American Magazine.

CHICAGO'S BIG DAY.
Building Cornerstone Laying and There
Was . Banquet ut Night.

Chicago, Oct. O.-PreSident William
Mckinley yesterday formally laid the
corner stone of the magnificent new
federal building of Chicago. The event
was the browning feature of the week.
celebration marking the annual OBJ
servance of Chicago day. Long before
the hour set for the ceremonies the
streets surrounding the block on which
the steel skeleton of the new building
stands were packed from curb to curb
with pushing, jostling people, anxious
to get glimpse of the nations presi-
from other countries Preceding the
presidents action, speeches were made
by Secretary Gage and Postmaster GEN
eral Smith.
The military, naval and civic parade
in the afternoon was reviewed by
President Mckinley and the other dis
tinguished guests of Chicago. The
parade began to form as the cere-
monies of laying the corner stone of
the federal building were being con-
Guided. The parade was led by Chief
of Police Ripley and staff with a bat
TALON of police. Following came the
Mexican band of 4S pieces and the
American band of 80 pieces, proceed
ing Chief Marshal Gen. Wesley Mer-
rift and staff. of which Gen. NJ. v.
Sheridan acted as chief.
At night Chicago's great Auditorium,
which has been the scene of SO many
notable events, never held a greater
gathering than when the Chicago day
banquet was held within it's walls un-
der the auspices of the fall festival
committee.
The material part of the banquet
occupied two hours and it was nearly
ten o'clock when Mr.. Stone raped for
order and brought the intellectual
portion of the programme to the front
and, after a short speech, introduced
Gov. Tanner, who welcomed the Wis
itors on behalf of Illinois.
After Gov. Tanner had concluded
Mayor Carter n. Harrison, of Chicago,
and Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illi-
nois, were introduced in succession by
Mr.. Stone, the former extending to
the visitors the welcome of the people
of Chicago and the latter a greeting on
behalf of the federal officials of Illinois.
The banquet guests knew by their
programmes who came next on the
list of speakers, and when the toast
master rose to introduce the president,
who responded to the sentiment of
1.-THE Nation"' he was greeted with
cheers that for a time prevented his
voice from being heard.
Following the address of the presi-
dent, which was received with every
manifestation of enthusiastic approval.
DR.. Stone introduced Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, of Canada, who he announced,
was to speak on "The Dominion"
The greeting which was accorded the
premier of Canada as he arose to his
feet was hearty in the extreme. Cheer
after cheer rang through the hall and
men rose to their feet and waved
their napkins frantically. The well
come extended to Sir Wilfrid Laurier
was repeated when the next speaker,
Vice President Mariscal, of Mexico,
rose. He answered to the toast 1.-THE
Republic of Mexico"
