PROMOTIONS FROM RANKS.
Chance for Enlisted Men in the Vol
unteer Regiments.

A general order has been issued by the
war department regarding the examina-
ton of officers of the new volunteer
army. A section of the order that will
be of general interest is that which pro-
vides that the position of second lieuten-
ant may be filled from the ranks in COM
panies where vacancies occur. The order
has been sent to the commanding officers
of all volunteer regiments, and says:
Whenever an officer has been given
a fair trial and fails to demonstrate his
fitness to perform the duties of his rank
he will be brought before a board of Of
f1cers, to be appointed by the general
commanding a separate army or the
military department in which his regi-
ment may be serving, on the recon-
mendation of the colonel of the regiment
The board will examine into and report
upon the qualifications of the officer to
discharge the duties of his office, and its
report will be forwarded, with the rec
ommendation of the commanding gen
eral, for the action of the president Pro-
motions in the volunteer regiments will
be made within each regiment and by
seniority. All vacancies of second lieu
tenants will be filled from the enlisted
men Of the regiment, on the recommends

THIRTEENTH REGIMENT Band
CHEERED THE BOYS IN
MANILA
VIII Give a Concert at the AuditO-
rum Wednesday Evening in Re-
Spouse to Urgent Requests-A Pop
uIar Programme to BE Played.

Military band music will enthuse a
crowd quicker and more thoroughly than
any other medium Ard especially is this
true at this time while military affairs
hold sway This was plainly felt Thurs
day as the thirteenth regiment band
marched at the head of the gallant boys
in blue.
Through the pressure brought to bear
bv hundreds of requests the Thirteenth
regiment band boys have decided to ap-
near in concert at the Auditorium
Wednesday evening, Oct 49, This will be
a benefit. the proceeds going to the in
dividual members of the band. And well
do thew deserve it, for it is only after
many hours of patient practice that they
have att lined their enviab!e reputation. 1t
has already been said that none of the
weeks music has given such Keen de-
light as that rendered by the Thfr-
teeth regiment band. This apprecia-
ton has been entirely justified, too, for
the organization IS 'nusicially We'll
balanced one, with a capable, clear-head-
ed leader.
The concert with which they will favor
their friends is exceptionally satisfactory
as 1t will please all, from the veteran,
a lover of bold martial airs, to musical
critics and admirer of selections from
"WilIian Tell" Faust" Tampa, =
poet and Peasant etc. With "ttot
Time and other popular selections Inter
spersed.
1t is Interesting to know that the band
was equally popular from Manila all the
way back to ST. Paul At Manila their
evening cCnccits on the Luneta were I'M
eoualad by any band on the island. And
many a homesick and heartsick soldier
boy was cheered up and encouraged by
the inspila alton of the horns and drums
of the good, ole Thirteenth band.
A w Riches, the popular leader, has
been In charge since the death of Band
master c. H. Watson. at Honolulu. and
has the banG in the best possible condi-
ton The boys have held together to a
man, the organization still numbering
thirty-ttree men. All of whom are
thorough, talented musicians.

and other physical defects, and his nor
nal sensibilities were complete blank.
The fact that he had left his lumber

trail leading to it, and had taken no pains
to conceal his crime, convinced Attorney
General Douglas that he had no concep-
ton whatever of it's enormity; that tbs
killing of his companion was nothing To

arrest.
The reasons for the pardon were Off
cially stated by the beard as follows:
A careful examination of the evidence.
and of such of the exhibits in the case
as were deemed material. convinces the
board of pardons that the defendant is
technically and legally guilty of the
crime of which ne stands convicted: ana
board is of the opinion that other g-r-
sons. whose identity is unknown, Were

other information before the board also
discloses that he is defective physically.
mentally and morally. This is evidenced
in part by the utter absence of any CT
fort design or act on his part to conceal
his connection with the crime. or 20 re-
move the. evidence of his connection with
its commission, except his bare denial OF
the killing. and also by the utter alb
sence of moral judgment as to the char
acter of his act from that standpoint;
and the consequences of 1t. Convinced
of these facts. the board nevertheless de-
sired the guidance of such further light
as scientific investigation might afford.
and accordingly requested Dr. Tomlinson,
superintendent of the st. Peter hospital
for the insane. to carefully examine and
report upon the prisoners condition. Such
examination was made. and a report of
the same has been filed with the board.
In his report DR.. Tomlinson. after OK

COUNCILS BUSY DAYS.
street Committees Have Important
Topics to Discuss This Week.

The aldermanic committee on streets
will meet at o'clock tomorrow after
noon. Among other matters to be con-
sidered is the ordinance granting to the
street railway company the franchise to
operate fast interurban line on Univer-
sity avenue.
The assembly committee on streets will
hold a regular meeting at the same hour.
In the evening the joint committee on
streets from the board and assembly will
hold a session to consider the street
lighting specifications for next year. The
board of public works in connection with
the specifications for street lighting has
recommended that some action be taken
looking toward the establishment of a
municipal lighting plant. This recon-
mendation will also be considered but it
is not likely that anything but talk will
result on the proposition.
