IT IS QUITE A SCHEME.
Twin Cities Would Bring All Volun-
teerS TO Minnesota

Washington, May 29.-The president
has been anxious to meet all the troops
who served in the Philippines if this
were practicable, and he agreed TO go
TO. Minneapolis and st. Paul to greet
the Minnesota volunteers. With the
possibility that the president might be
unable to continue his trip further west,
the twin cities" have undertaken 10
arrange for the mobilization of all the
volunteers ds their guests.
The organizations, if mustered out at
San Francisco, will be transported to
Minneapolis and st. Paul as the guests
of the twin cities" After the jubilee
the troops will go home to their re-
spective states at the expense of the
states. The programme is to have the
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Colorado, Tennessee, Iowa, Pennsyl-
vania, Kansas and Nebraska volun-
feers at this gathering, and, if possible,
those from the states of Washington,
Utah. Oregon and California
The date upon which the troops will
reach St Paul and Minneapolis Will
depend upon the rapidity with which
transports can be placed at their dis
posal by the war department, but it is
expected once started the troops will all
be landed at San Francisco within
six weeks. The troops are expected
TO arrive by the middle of June. and
the last by Aug. l. The jubilee, there
fore, probably will occur early in Au-
gust.
The presidents acceptance of this in
vitation does not necessarily mean that
ne has abandoned his contemplated trip
TO the Pacific coast. How much he will
extend mis- trip west of Minneapolis
W1u depend upon circumstances.

MRS. SCHLEY TALKS.
Proud of Her Husband and Pleased
With Salt Lake.

Mrs. Schley and Mrs. Henderson
spent yesterday very quietly. In the
forenoon they were present at the re-
ception at the city and county building.
The afternoon was passed at THE
Porches" with Mrs. George Y. Wallace.
The time was pleasantly passed chat
ting with callers.
This is Mrs. Schleys first visit west
and she expressed herself as being
much impressed with the country.
You have a beautiful city here" she
said, land it seems TO me TO have
wonderful future ahead of it. Your
people are thoroughly charming, and
so hospitable. In fact, both the admit
raj and myself have been completely
overcome at the wonderful demonstra-
ton in our honor. Our visit will be re-
membered as a very bright spot in our
lives
That Mrs. Schley is very proud Of
her husband and the place ne holds in
the hearts of the people is evident. She
does not discuss it with strangers but
TO her intimate friends she does not at
tempt TO deny it. She is also very proud
of the handsome medal presented to the
admiral by the people of Maryland. The
admiral himself never wears it, but
says Mrs. Schley, ION state occasions I
wear it myself"

ENTERTAINED AT THE CLUB.
Luncheon rendered By Governor
Wells and His Staff.

1t was LEO when Admiral Schley, ac-
companied by General Henderson. Gov
ernor Wells and staff and members Of
the reception committee reached the
Alta club. While the final touches
were being put on the luncheon table
in the private dining-room upstairs,
the guest of honor formed the central
figure in an impromptu reception FOR
the benefit of the club members VINO
happened to be present. and for others
who came in while it was going on.
At las Held's band burst into the
first notes of the star Spangled Ban
ner," and to the strains of the imnior-
tai tune the march up the wide sra;r-
case to the banquet-hail was begun
Admiral Schley was escorted by Sow
ernor Wells and Theodore BrubaclI.
Senator Rawlins came next with iei,-
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-05-30

whom he had found 1t necessary to dis
cipline on occasions. Daniel was
about to leave the admiral's ship, and
in taking leave of the commander and
other officers he had wished each one
in turn a happy life and expressed
desire that he might prosper. When
he reached Lieutenant Schley he said,
somewhat hesitatingly: Good bye, Mr..
Schley-may you live long and prosper
but not to any great extent"
The story was much enjoyed by the
students, as We're a number of others
told by the general to prove what he
termed his 'amphibious friends" la
mentable Ignorance. He assured the
audience that the great admiral had
lived at sea so long that he didn't know
from which side of a horse he should
mount; that he had ever remained in
utter ignorance of the side from which
a cow should be MIXED, and that when
he was finally introduced to the de-
lights of home on Staten Island he
planted out a bed of onions which he
labeled oyster plant, and which he
thought would raise up new species
of oyster.
Perhaps the story that caused the
greatest amount of merriment was the
one told by the general of an attempt
made by the admiral to have rooster
sit on thirty-siX eggs. According to
the admiral's friend, Mrs. Schley had
very fine Bramin fowl that she valued
very highly. On one of his trips to
New York the hero of Santiago reached
home with a parcel of eggs of some
choice variety, which he proceeded to
make the gentleman chicken sit on. 1t
was not until his wife discovered what
was happening that the rooster was re-
leased, much to the admiral's disgust.
But why did you put so many eggs
under the unfortunate bird?" inquired
Mrs. Schley. 'Oh, l just wanted to see
him spread himself" replied the man
of the sea.
General Henderson concluded his de-
lightful little talk by paying a very
high tribute to the friend so ignorant
of all things pertaining to land.
ignorant as he is, he knows what to
US IS the unknowable. Many of us have
"a man-of-war. And few of US know
of the requirements of mind-the cour-
age-needed by the man who can COM
mand and fight this master of the deep.
He is an autocrat, a car, emperor and
king, all in one. And yet he must pos
sess in his heart a great love for his
fellow man, and a devotion to the flag
that makes him prompt to resent any
insult offered or injury done"
The singing of America" by the as
sembly closed the exercises, and the
great hero and his escort made their
way as rapidly as people would allow
them to the carriages that were in wait
ing to convey the party to the county
building.

eral Henderson, and the other guests
followed without regard to Formally.
The tables were arranged in the form
of a hollow square. In the center was
a magnificent flower model of Admiral
Schley's flagship, the Brooklyn. Il was
fashioned of dried natural flowers, with
roses, carnations, lilies of the valley,
sweet peas and ferns predominating.
The model was nine feet long and Con-
tanned more than 10000 flowers. 1t was
the work of the Huddart Floral COM
pany. The table decorations were made
up of American beauties. La France,
bride and Marechal Mel roses, with
carnations, sweet peas and asparagus
ferns twined gracefully about them.
On the floor around the tables were
grouped palms and potted plants in
great profusion, the whole making
scene of beauty such as has rare.y

ed that her child should be kissed. and
her wish WAS granted.

HeT WISH was SIdHleu
But he didn't kiss any young ladies,
nor old ladies, for he does not approve
of it. Speaking of the matter, when
asked about it. he said, yesterday:
Yes, there have been efforts to kiss
me, but / will not allow it, for-it is
hardly proper. When young ladies,
spurred on by the enthusiasm of an
occasion, become impulsive enough to
kiss, we should protect them. That I
consider gentleman's duty. He should
keep them from doing what they may
and should regret afterward."
Probably 5000 people passed through
the building to greet Admiral Schley,
and at the conclusion of the ceremony
he was taken to the north entrance,
where he addressed large crowd.
II don't think my friends or anyone
could pass through this beautiful
country, to be met with such tributes
of affection as / have met with, with
out going away with swelling heart"
said he. There is that feeling that 1
shall leave you all; one of devotion,
affection and thanks"
Loud applause followed the few re-
marks and the party was then driven
to the Alta club.

Washington. May 29.-The war de-
partment made public today more OF
the reports of operations around Ma
Mia early in February. They are from
Colonel Harry o. Kerlin, First Mon
tana, and Major Mallory, inspector gen.
eral OF United States volunteers. Colo
mel Kerlin's regiment was the one
which was in close touch with the Tenth
Pennsylvania in its capture of the Chi
neSe cemetery.
Colonel Kerlin states that the Mon
tana erSiment took part in the charge
on the cemetery, the possession OF
which was stubbOrnly contested by e
large force of natives. The regiment
subsequently helped to capture and &C.
cupy Caloocan, losing one man killed
and twenty three wounded, three oil
these being officers.
Major Mallory's report deals princi-
pally with the operations on the further
side of CalOOcan about Feb. %. when
an outpost of the Kansas headquarters
was driven in by a Sortie of the inSur-
gents. This outpost consisted of only
a On-commissiOned officer and eight
men.
How Lieutenant French Died.
Major Mallory was sent with company
1 of the First Montana to recapare it,
which he did promptly. There was
hot fight with the insurgents in the
maze of dykes and rice fields on the
east of the town. and here it was that
Lieutenant French was killed while try
ing TO save a party of Filipinos from
humiliation.
These natives had been surrounded
by the advance of the First Montana,
and were cut off from retreat in every
direction. They stood up waving their
hats and making signs that they wished
to surrender. Lieutenant French stood
up, waved his hat and called out in
Spanish that if they would come over
10 his position they would be safe. Just
then a shot was fired, apparently from
hut which he was trying to save. 1t
struck him in the chest and he died
almost instantly. The report is silent
as to the subsequent fate of the group
of F'ilipinos.
Major Mallory merely states that
when the supporting companies came
up he left this party still cut off from
any chance of escape.

A CROOK ORGANIZATION
The Chief of Police Given a Tip
About Some Brokers.
is CALLED THE TAPE GAME
The Informant Alleges That the Firm
Was Chased Out of Eastern
States After Clearing
Up Million.

Chief of Police Lavell received an
anonymous letter yesterday, in which
the writer assumes to give a tip" on a
crooked company of grain and stock
brokers. The letter, dated Helena, pro-
ceeds:
Chief of Police, Butte: Enclosed is
a little tip. There is firm operating in
Butte and Helena styled - & Co.,
stock and grain brokers. Guess you do
not realize that this is a crooked Or
ganization. If you will investigate, you
will find a fierce record behind this out
fit. They are all telegraph operators
and understand their business. A few
years ago they operated through the
states of Illinois and Iowa until they
were chased out of the state. They
came to Helena, expecting to do busi-
ness, but the town was put next by
the operators of the Western Union,
who know them of old. Myself and
brother know of them of old. They do
not do one dollars business in Helena,
but tell everybody they make up for it
with Butte suckers. One of them, while
jaggy to-day in saloon here, gave the
little game away. Here is the way they
do business: When an order or trade is
sent in on the wire from Butte they
enter it on the books here; then they
make their own market, you under
stand. 1t is impossible to beat them.
They take quotations from the Western
Union, but that is bluff. They have
to do shat or the game wouldn't work.
IF you will follow the daily market
and check their board off, you will
catch on. They let some win, of course,
for a bluff; but If you do not stop their
game, Montana will suffer severely. 1t
is reported that they cleared $1,000, 900
in Iowa and Illinois before being chased
out. Their game is called the tape
game"
The writer gives the name of the al
legged firm in full, but as the name does
not appear in any of the directories,
neither do the police know of such a
firm or business the name is not print
ed as it is believed to be fictitious. The
fact that this firm cleared "a million
dollars in Iowa and Illinois and then
settled down in obscurity in Montana
gives the story a color which, at best,
is
