From Mondays Daily.
A San Francisco telegram of the I'd
says:
North Dakota soldiers do not want
any more sea voyages, and have practi-
cally settled now that they will go home
all rail at a cost of 5000 per man. The
officers told Senator Hansbrough that
they did not think the men would ever
decide for another water trip. Most of
the North Dakota delegation will start
for home in the morning, going to Seattle
by boat. Senator Hansbrough and sew
eral others will remain a day or two
longer.
Private Joseph Wurcer, Co. B, North
Dakota, is SO i'll that his relatives have
been sent for. His trouble is ~dysentery
and his case is considered hopeless.
The members OF the North Dakota
regiment not asking that expenses home
be paid by the people Of the state, but
such a move would be appreciated. and
if done, the desire of the regiment that
it be a state movement, so as to provide
for all. The men say that they repre-
sent the whole state and want to go
back in a body.
Reports have been received here that
certain cities could not agree as to
whether each town should pay for it's
own company, Or chip in together. The
men here prefer a general fund. The
money will not be needed for two weeks
at least.
The congressional delegation called on
Col. Treumann and other officers yester-
day afternoon to discuss the matter of
return. The rate that had been secured
,-,, no, ~, r,I ~ rnt,p,o Il,.., ~,
INDUCED in. In addition to the rates
H%ansbrough has secured a fiat rate of
s25 to Dakota points, for invalid soldiers.
Dakota invalids pay their own fare
home, so that it is quite a concession to
them.

The banquet rendered the North Da-
kota delegation by Gen. Shafter yester-
day afternoon wasa very elaborate affair,
lasting three hours. There were about
