ed with lines of many colored flags, the
United States transport Warren arriv-
ed at this port at 5 o'clock yesterday

Colorado regiment volunteers, back
from the campaign in the Philippines.
The regiment, commanded by Col. Nc
Coy, returns with 46 officers and 924
men, about $50 less than the number
who sailed from San Francisco last
year. Just before the regiment depart
ed from Manila IS of the First Colorado
enlisted in the Thirty-seventh regiment
of volunteers which was formed in the
Philippines. Two deaths occurred af-
ter the Warren left Yokohama. These
were Private Ivan Tinnerholm, COM
pany H, and Private Lindsay, company
L. Private Tinnerholm died of typhoid
malaria and Private Lindsay succumb-
ed to an attack of dysentery.
The remains of these two soldiers
were buried at sea.
In addition to the Colorado regiment,
the Warren also brought from the
Philippines 119 discharged soldiers,
comprising so from the Sixth artillery,
light battery, so from the engineer
corps and 29 stewards and nurses from
the various hospital corps
About 40 of the men on board are
these are so seriously i'll that they will
have to be taken to the hospital for
treatment as soon as the transport

fine form and good spirits, their ap-
pearance indicating a better state of
health than any of the regiments who
have previously returned with the ex-
ception of the Pennsylvania boys.
A delegation from Colorado, headed
by Governor Thomas, went out in tugs
to meet the transport. The meeting
between the governor and his party
and the returning soldiers was cordial

Figures in the quarterly statements
from 36S Kansas state banks tell a
wonderful story of the prosperity of
the people. These statements show
that the citizens of Kansas have more
money than ever before and also in
dictate that the banking business of the
state is now being conducted on a
much better basis than ever before in
our history.

period ending June 90 1899, there is
S2z,091, 1896 on deposit in the state
banks. The similar reports July IA,
1898. showed 500. 394. 956-31 on deposit.
The difference in favor 1899. and the
people is therefore 81, 696. 7SS.74
At the present time the reserve fund
of the 36S banks reaches the sum of 1876
per cent, which exceeds all past rec
ords.
Several years ago Bank Commission

report 8 per cent time certificates as
borrowed money. At the time this plan
was adopted the reports showed $780,

Senator Davis in his speech Tuesday
evening said: II believe the United
States is the foremost nation of the
world and is entitled to and will receive
and take, if necessary, its share in the
of the world. 1t is American
industry which is nov building bridges
over the upper Nile in the heart of
Africa, which is laying steel rails in
Burmah against English competition,
which is building war ships for Japan and
locomotives for Russia" 1t is also Ameri-
can enterprise and progress which. in the
railway world, have produced such ac-
commodations for the carrying Of passen-
gers, such unequaled service, as is en-
bodied in that wonderful train of cars
running daily between the twin cities,
Milwaukee n Chicago-the Milwaukee's
n Limited. A train fittingly SYM
bolical of American ingenuity and ad-
Vancement.
