TELEGRAM FROM GOV. LEE.
The War Department Says the south Os-
kota Volunteers viii Return When
Convenient.

Washington, April Is The war de-
partment will reply to the telegram OF
Gov. Lee, Of South Dakota, to Presi-
dent Mckinley, asking for the immedi-
ate muster out and return OF the South
Dakota troops in the Philippines, that
the troops will be brought home as
soon as deemed expedient by the
United States and as soon as possible
with the transports at hand. 1t is
held at the war department that the
law requiring the muster out of troops
contemplates that the executive de-
partment shall have ample time to
issue the necessary orders and make
the necessary preparations to properly
discharge the soldiers and bring
them home. The provisions in the
bill allowing the volunteers in the
Philippines to be enlisted for six
months may be construed to mean
that the volunteers will be not mus.
tered out before that time If they are
necessary to the government. That
this view will be tenable il the troops
demand to be mustered out is generally
conceded, for Chairman Hull stated on
the floor OF the house, when asked If
the six months clause would be con-
strued to continue the volunteers in

IN JEFFERS0N'S HONOR.


New York. April IA. The $40 dinner
OF the Democratic club in honor of the
anniversary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson was held last night at the
METROPOLITAN opera house. This is the
dinner that W. }. Bryan refused to at
tend. Looking from the tiers to the
floor OF the vast dining hall the tables
seemed like great beds OF roses The
~ tables were on either side OF the
speakers table. Each table was pied
with a mass OF roses and ferns nter-
twned. just before the guests were
called to order, Richard Croker, Perry
Belmont, Commissioner Scannel
and Commissioner Sexton entered a
box. Mr.. Croker was in enthusi-
astic conversation with those about
him and waved his hand to guests all
over the hall. There were fully 300
more guests than the l,5OO planned
for, but all found seats. This is said
to be the largest number ever accom-.
modated at a banquet in the history
of the city. The great dinner to Presi-
dent Mckinley at the Waldorf-Astora
was served to only 900. Judge Angus
tus Van Wyck, the defeated dem
ocratic nominee for governor last fall,
was the principal orator. He spoke
against the tariff and trusts, but
ignored the money question and ter
ritoral expansion
Milwaukee, April IA. The Jefferson
club, of Milwaukee, observed the
natal day Of the founder Of democracy |
in most fitting manner by banquet
at the Plankington house, which was
attended by over 400 guests. Col.
William j. Bryan, of Nebraska, was
the guest of honor and delivered the
principal address. Delegations Of
democrats were in attendance from
many towns throughout the state and
nearly all the democrats from the state
legislature were present Mr. Bryan
said the free silver question would b.

to the proprietor that the flag ought

situation at Manila that the war de-

to the one given to the press several

Yet Alger remains passive. When
