persons formed at II O'Clock Wednesday

and Ninth avenue, TO wreak vengeance
upon the negroes of that neighborhood

and bruised Sunday night by several ne
groes while he was attempting TO arrest

1000 people on more, and as they became
violent the negroes fled in terror INTO any
hiding place they could find. The police

Letters ,nd papers belonging to Agui-

months ag, by Gen. Funston, have been
made pubic by the War Department.
Some of these documents tend to substan-
tiate the charges that the Filipino insur-
gents have received encouragement from
persons ia the United States. The most
remarks ole letter in the collection Is from
Dr.. Montague X. Leverson, dated Fort
Hamilton, y. V, July II, 1899, who de-
scribes himself as q member of the Anti
lmperialist League, and who advises the
FilipinoS to capture some official of high
rank in the service of the United States
aud try him for piracy. While il is said
by officials of the administration that a
charge of treason might be based on Mr..
Leverson's letter, a Washington corr
spondent says no legal proceedings viii
be instituted.

the letter declaring TIE United States
TO be guilty of piracy in its Philippine
policy. is still II resident Of Fort Ham

High Living in the Trcnches.


Speaking of delicacies," said an old
veteran of one of the Louisiana regi-
ments the other afternoon, "the highest
living that ever fell to my lot was dur
ing three weeks in the winter and
spring of 1865 that / spent in the
trenches at Petersburg. / don't mean
to say that the bill of fare would great
ly appeal to me now, but at the time of
which speak thought was living in
royal style"
The reporter to whom he was talking
remarked at this point that, while he
had not been there at the time, he had
always understood from those who had
that the trenches of Petersburg did not
afford much scope for the gourmand
Then the veteran continued:
1T came about in this way: There
were eight of us in our mess and all of
us except one had managed to get
through tie winter with some sort of
covering for our feet. We called them
shoes then. but / don't suppose that
the term would be Used by many people
of the present generation who are used
to patent leather, Wei kid and tan
shoes. The eight. man, however. had
gone barefooted rom November, 1864

One "Heroic old scoundrc1u


There wasn't a man at the officers'
mess but despised the major" said an
old army captain, talking to some
friends the other night 1--WE all felt
that he distinctly lowered the social
tone of the regiment. He was sullen
and loutish and slovenly, with the air
of man who had proved false in some
crisis and who had a grudge against
fate for his own misdeeds. He was full
of mean, contemplate ways. Besides,
he drank heavily and would lie for
days at a time in drunken stupor.
I'VE would have got rid of him on
charges but for the fact that he could
fight In was liz the early days of the
campaign in the Tennessee valley, and
there was plenty of fighting 10. In
battle the major became an er man.
The boys forgot his ugly and contempt
ible ways, and l guess the u or him
self did. Then we got a glin of the
man as he must have been before some
great trial spoiled him. His eyes lost
their dull and filmy look and blazed
beneath his shaggy brows, and under
his soiled uniform his frame took on
the commanding lines of the soldier. In
the noise and smoke his manhood had
n brief and savage resurrection.
Somehow, before the regiment knew
it, on such occasions, it was following
the major lickety-split in a dashing
charge, or taking his orders as 1t stood
grimly in line awaiting attack The
colonel and lieutenant colonel, good
fellows though they were, did only a
thinking part. 1t was the major who
was doing all the fighting. and the boys
knew it.
after every battle we would treat
the major with respect for Il little
while. Our regiment was winning
glory. The colonel got the thanks of
Congress and the General of the bril-
gade got promotion, but we all knew
it was that mean cuss, the major, who
did it. We tried to be nice TO him, but
he always spoiled things. Once we ac-
tually got UP banquet IN his honor,
after he had led the regiment brilliant
ly in three successive days of fighting
in the woods. But he drank himself
under the table anC into a prolonged
debauch. and the next day the regi-
ment went into battle under the colonel
and was on the run until nightfall.
II think we were oil relieved when
the major disappeared once for good.
1t made the officers mess more con-
genial. But the regiment never amount
ed to much after that. While it began
the war brilliantly, it ended it in dis
grace, and our brigadier is unofficially
on record with the statement that the
only good charge we made in those last
The War Department never knew why
our record was so uneven 1t was all
on account of that heroic old scoundrel,
the major"

MAY VISIT EUROPE.
The Mikado May Leave His Empire to
Travel.


SAN FRANCISCO, October 25.-The
report that the Mikado, whom they
call the Emperor in Japan, or some
times THE Son of Heaven" is to visit
Europe next year will, if it is true,
cause far more excitement in the land
of the chrysanthemum than in Europe.
This is easily accounted for, because
since the first Emperor, Jimmu Tenno,
came down from heaven to govern the
country a couple of thousand years ago,
his successor on the throne has never
been out of the country, not even as
far as COrea. 1t was stated three years
ago that the Emperor meditated break
ing the tradition. but it came to moth
ing. Should his majesty visit the West
next year. he is sure of a hearty re-
ception wherever he goes. The EN-
peror would certainly be accompanied
by the Empress, a very charming wo-
nina, who has taken very kindly to
European costumes, and unlike the
most of her countrywomen, looks re-
markedly well in them.
