North Dakota Yells Itself Hoarse Over
the Return of Volunteers.
FARGO, N. D., Oct. 2.-Fargo is in a
blaze of patriotic enthusiasm over the
arrival of Company B, North Dakota
volunteers, after an absence of II
months, one year of which was in the
Philippines. The regiment embarked
at San Francisco on two separate
trains, coming from Portland on the
Northern Pacific. 1t reached Dickin-
son, the home of Company X, about 3
a. m., and from there to Fargo every
town along the line yelled itself hoarse
in honor of the troops. The regiment
disembarked at Dickinson and marched
to the opera house where hot lunch was
served. The next stop was at Mandan
where the two trains were consolidated.
jamestown Dimes tho Boys.
Great crowds welcomed the Bis
marck, Jamestown and Valley City
companies, and the remaining COM
panies stopped and dined at James,
town at p. m. Fargo was reached at
8 o'clock and 10000 people and dozens
of steam whistles and bells, and bat
terry of artillery made the occasion un-
paralleled in North Dakota. Companies
c and I were held here until II o'clock
and were fed at the armory in company
with the local organization. They
reached their respective homes at
Grafton and Wheaton early in the
morning. The Devils Lake company
was cut out at jamestown and sent
north to Leeds, where it will take the
Great Northern home.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-President Nc
Kinley, in honor of Admiral Dewey,
gave the largest dinner party in the
history of the White House social func-
tions. Covers were laid for over so per-
sons The guests included the cabinet,
the governors of nine states, justices of
the supreme court, some of the MEM
bers of both houses Of congress. army
! and navy officials and others. 1t was
q brilliant affair. An hour before the
hour announced Il large crowd of spec
tators had gathered in front Of the
| White House to watch the arrivals
Admiral Dewey came at 8 o'clock and
as he passed inside he was enthusias-
tica1ly cheered. Rear Admiral Schley
was given similar ovation. The guests
passed into the East room, whence they
proceeded to the White House corridor,
which served as the state diningroom,
the usual room being too small for tho
purpose.
The dinner occupied two and half
hours and was altogether informal.
There was no speechmaking or toast
making whatever and no reference to
the Manila victory. At its close Ad-
miral Dewey took leave of the party
and amid cheers from small crowd Of
spectators was driven directly to his
house, where he soon retired.

When he was Il young man, Senator
Hale Of Maine, like many young men
who have later on in life made their
mark in the world, was not without
that cgotism which is said to be an
element Of success.
On one occasion Mr.. Hale was rid
ing in an old fashioned stage coach
with Senator and Mrs. Frye. The only
other passenger was an Irish woman
past middle life, rather comcly Of face,
who wore enormous hoops, fashiona-
bic ut that period. 70 amusc his fel-
low passengers Mr.. Hale pretended 10
be much cnamOred Of Biddy and would
sidle up close to her as if he were about
to put his arms about her, look unut-
terable things at her and entertained
himself and his companions at the
good naturCd creatures expense. Final
ly at one Of the stations Il man put his
head in the door and asked if there
was any room to be had inside the
coach.
"No," said Mr.. Hale. "All the seats
are taken" Then turning to the Irish
woman and looking into her eyes with
great tenderness he said:
"Therc isn't any room in here, is
there? We don't want any one else in
here, do we?"
"No," said Biddy, with delightful
broguc. "My hoops are pretty large,
and I see you feel pretty large, and
there is no room here."-Detroit Free

walking Up stairs,

physician VINO DECLARED CnaC rev
people knew how to walk up stairs
properly was asked to describe how it
should be done. He said: Usually o
person will tread on the ball Of the
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing on the muscles,
as it throws the entire suspended
weight Of the body on the muscles Of
the legs and feet. You should in walk
ing or climbing stairs seek for the most
equal distribution Of the body's weight
possible.
SIN walking up stairs your feet
should be placed squarely down on the
step, heel and ALL and then the work
should be performed slowly and de-
iberately. In this way there is no
strain upon any particular muscle, but
each one is doing it's duty in q natural
manner. The woman who goes up
stairs with spring is no philosopher,
or at least she is not making proper.
use of her reasoning faculties.
"The habit, too, OF bending over half
double when ascending a flight of
stairs is exceeding reprehensible. In
any eXertion Of this kind, when the
heart is naturally excited to 4 more
rapid action, it is desirable that the
lungs should have full play. The
crouching position interfcres with
their action, the blood is imperfectly
acratcd, and there Is trouble at once.
Give the lungs Il chance to do their
work everywhere and at all times."-

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The dispatch re-

is considered extremely improbable.
1t cannot be asserted with certainty,
but it is believed that the British pro-
posals have not yet reached the Trans

been dispatched. Therefore, it is con-
sidered impossible that British ad-
vance has been ordered. Practically no

after his north pole expedition, very
amusing incident was witnessed. A

admirers being Il couple Of old men
who kept waving their sticks and
shouting themselves hoarse. When the
celebrated explorer had passed in his
carriage, there followed in his wake
wagon, dragged by horses, bearing q
long iron pole which belonged to an
electric tramway company. Directly
the old men saw it the following con-
vcrsation took place:
"Well, I'll be blowed, Bill, he's broWt

announcement Of the Moniteur was
far from polite, but as the little Cor

"The cannibal has left his den."
"Thc Corsican wolf has landed in
the bay Of San Juan"
'"Thc tiger has arrived at Cay"
'"rhe wretch spent the night at

'Thc tyrant has arrived at Lyons"

President States His Position Regarding
tho Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. - After the
Dewey dinner at the White House Sec
retary Hitchcock, Attorney General
Griggs, Senator Hanna, Chairman
Boutolle of the house committee on
naval affairs, ex-Secretary Bliss and
Myron Herrick of Cleveland joined the
president up stairs and there was an in
formal talk on the Philippine situation
during which the president in few
words stated his position. Mr.. Bou-
telle, on leaving the White House,
stated, from what the president said,
that the keynote of the administra-
tion's policy is to establish in the Phil
ippines proper government and leave
it entirely in the hands of congress.
Mr.. Boutelle summed up the presi-
dents informal statement as follows:
"The Administrations policy is to
carry out the manifest will of the
American people in furnishing troops
to go to the Philippine islands to sus-
tain the
Fruits of Admiral Dewey's Victory.
The duty that now devolves upon this
government is to maintain IL our sover-
eighty over tho islands, sustain our SOL
diers against any disturbance of law
and order, and everything being for the
purpose of establishing a rightful gov
ernment for the people of the islands in
such a manner as the American gov
ernment through congress shall deter
mine. The campaign must be pushed
actively and vigorously and the opposi-
tion to our army must be ended as rap
idly as possible. Peace must be estab-
lished by this government and main
tained thereby until congress shall de-
ter1nine what shall be done with the
islands. From what the president said
it is proposed to bend every resource to
the stamping out of all opposition to
our authority, the settlement of tho
war and the establishment and main
tainance of peace"

SWIFTLY RETREAT
FILlPiNOS DISAPPEAR ON THE AD-
VANCE OF AMERICANS.

aenerai Lnwton and Several Hundred
Men Dispcrsc Force of Insurgents
Near Imus-Our Loss slight but Moro
Than Score of Rebels Were Found
Dead in the Trenches.
IMUs, Luzon, Oct. 4.-General Law
,on has dispersed the insurgents, driv-
ing them to the westward. The pur-
pose of the rebels was to cut the COM
munication maintained between Bacoor
and linus by aneans of the road from
those points on the east bank of the
river. Fourteen hundred insurgents
attacked linus and 600 proceeded to
Bacoor, with detachmcnts along the
road. During the morning Captain
Staggett's force spread along the road
from Bacoor toward linus and four
companies Of the Fourth regiment I'M
der Captain Hollis were thrown out
from linus, the two commands forming
a junction. The entire line crossed tho
river and drove the Filipinos from their
trenches to the westward through rice
fields and thickets.
Before the forward movement was
begun the American artillery shelled
the enemy's position. The only Ameri-
can casualty was the wounding of a
lieutenant of artillery. General Law
ton while riding up the road to linus
was the target for many shots.
Usual Policy of Fighting.
The fight was practically ended at 9
o'clock. Another illustration of the in
surgent policy Of ev"ding the Ameri-
cans in force was illustrated by the
fact that when our troops swept across
several miles of open space, firing by
volley and cheering, the Filipinos
melted away and only occasional
glimpses of the enemy could be OBJ
tanned as they ran from the trenches
and lodged through the bushes like
rabbits. One body of the enemy, under
a former mayor Of linus, retreated to-
ward Perez das Merinas, and another in
the direction of San Francisco de la
Malabon.
Captain Poore and the Sixth infantry
attacked the insurgents Sunday in a
new trench which they had constructed
near Tabuan, island of Negros, and
scattered them.
Lieutenant Knabenshue, with party
of scouts, crossed the river and found
20 dead Filipinos in the trenches, Is of
whom had been killed by one shell.
