Pacific coast. When tie regiment
arrived at San francisco it was
greeted as the worst clad and worst
equipped that had ever been ordered
to that rendezvous.
Without exaggeration, and not
withstandiug the rags, there was
not regiment in the whole Eighth
Army Corps that could muster a
personnel or show the morale that
the First Tennessee could. And
they were as good "tin" soldiers as
they were fighters. Hardly a
month had passed until Company
f gave an exhibition drill at the
Mechanics Pavilion that was said
by Gen. King to have excelled any
thing that he had ever seen.
After long and weary wait, or
ders a. last came to embark for the
Philippines.
The regiment had been stationed
at Iloilo for about forty-five days,
but the insistence shown by the in
surgents in their efforts to regain
the town from the "Diablo Ameri-
cano" was so strong and well sus-
tanned that the three bodies of men
stationed there--the First Tennes-
see, the Eighteenth regulars and
Battery @ of the Sixth Artillery,
commanded by Gen. Marcus Miller,
had had no time to regulate the
sanitary condition of the town.
Smallpox broke out, and number
of the members of the First sue
cumbed to the disease. Men pre-
ferred to face death on the firing
line to the hideous form Of it tn 1t
they might catch if nursing those
already infected. In fact it was
expected of no one except the hos
pital corps. But the number grew
too large for the medical attaches
to attend to properly.
Then it was that Captain and
Chaplain Lewis J. Leland stepped
in and gave his life for his duty.
He had made some mistakes previ
Gus to that time, but when he began
tenderly caring for the sick, without
his ever having had the disease him
self, he not only dissipated the
slight illfeeling that had been form
ed against him, but engraved his
name upon the heart of every man
in the regiment SO deeply that he
will never be forgotten as long as
one lives. On March 5, 1898, Capt.
Leland sacrificed his all--life itself
upon the altar of his country's
need. His wife, whom he married
only a few months before in San
Francisco, did not know of his i'll
ness until she received a cablegraln
that he was dead.
Equally as touching and pathetic
was the death of poor little Clifton
Burlington. He ann l and 'Little
jerks" were chums for o! so long
a time. If ever there was a good
soldier Burlington was one. Not
only that, but he was as consistent
a Christian as ever breathed the air
of Tennessee. He practiced his
faith wherever he went, whether it
was on the battle-ground, in barracks,
at mess or engaged in skirmish or
battle. Ever since his first initiation
into thu mysteries of the manual of
arms he had been working for a
non commission warrant. The off,

Henry Francis Beaumont in Nashville Banner
of Saturday.
Where the first mention Of the
First Regiment of Tennessee as an
organization is found in history is
not known, but it is name tina;
has been brought down from the
pioneers of the Volunteer State who
swept the summit of Kings Noun
tain in glorious victory against Fer
guson's Tories to the present day
without single blemish on it's es-
cutchon. The "First TENNESSEE
is a designation that has been famil-
lar in American history ever since
Shelby, Price and Evans rallied
it on that crucial day in the
struggle of the thirteen colonies for
independence. 1t has splendidly
illuminated the annals of the com
monwealth. 1t has gloriously illus
trated the gallant prowess and un-
shrinking courage of the Tennessee
soldiery, and has won and retained
the proud title of the "Volunteer
State" The fame of the First Ten
nessee under Bradford in the Flori-
da war; the "Bloody First under
William 3. Campbell in the Mexi-
can war; the First Tennessee under
Nancy and the First Tennessee I'M
der Turney in the great civil war is
now no more secure than the honor
of the First Tennessee under Gracey
Childers in both the Spanish Ameri-
can and the Philippine wars.
If the last organization of that
name had not won fair title to that
designation by it's ready response to
the call for men at the outbreak of
the trouble with the Don in Cuba,
it certainly did it on the fields of
Pace and Santa Mesa on February
1 and 5, 1899. Stronger title was
won at the taking Of Iloilo, Febru-
airy IL, when it was not only the
first body of soldiers to land, but
had almost completely routed the
enemy by the time the supporting
Eighteenth regulars put foot on
shore. Since it's career was a path
of glory until 1t disbanded the last
time. How nobly did its men repel
attack after attack on the lines at
Jaao and Molo. What other organi-
zation would have landed to engage
in the hottest battle of its career,
after having started for home, in
order to save another force. not from
humiliation, but little more time
than it wanted to spend in subduing
the natives ?
When the remainder Of the volun-
teer troops that won the first ground
on the islands in the Pacific Ocean
came home, over 800 of the First
Tennessee remained in the field to
further satisfy their Unborn lust for
glory and honor on the battle-ground
and to the name added an additional
heritage of gallant achievements
and notable victories.
Strange to say, not one of the
writers of this state has ever seen
in the glittering, though unwritten,
pages of the history of this regiment
an opportunity to bequeath his name
to posterity by compiling record
of its campaigns and its marches.
Has Tennessee no Homer to chant
its glorious story in rhythmic verse?
Can no Ulysses be found to tran

KEPT SENATOR PROCTOR BUSY.
business Rival Meets Him at His
Own Game.

| RUTLAND, Vt, March A.-Recent de
| velopmcnts in the marble industry in
| Vermont inulcate that il was the astute-
ness of a business rival. rather than a
desire to control the marble output of
the world, that caused Senator Redfiald
Proctor to send agents to Italy to nego-
tiate for the production of the famous
quarries at Carrara.
Senator Proctor is president of the YER
mont Marble Company which has en-
ioyed almost monopoly of the industry
i'm the United States. There are several
small concerns. but their percentage OF
the total business is slight. 1t was one
of these comparatively insignificant con-
Germs, however, that sent the Senator
across seas for supplies.
This was the True Blue Marble Com
pany, of which George e. Royce is presi-
dent. Mr.. Royce's company controlled the
output of a quarry al Florence, VT, owned
by J. b. Hollister. and Senator Proctor
discovered that thepOssessiOn of this prop
erty was necessary to enable him TO meet
demands.
He opened negotiations with Mr.. Hollis
ter, and when Mr.. Royce sought to renew
his contract with the owner of the quarry
he found that Proctor has forestalled him.
Senator Proctor had secured control of the
Florence quarry and the output was his.
Mr.. Royce succeeded however, in securing
a ledge of stone in another place which
sufficed for his needs, thereby preserving
his business and at the same time he was
enabled to render ineffective the foresight
of his powerful rival.
To get the marble from the HOllister
quarry to the markets a railroad was nee
essary. and there was but one line from
that section to civilization. This line Serf-
ator Proctor had not thought IL necessary
to buy. but Mr.. Royce thought it would be
a pleasant thing for him to do, and he did
He now controls the road. and Senator
Proctor's marble from the HOllister quar-
ry can reach the markets only as 1t
pleases Royce. 1t is this state of anairs
that caused Senator Proctor TO send
agents to the Carrara district
1T is not improbable that the entire
output of these quarries, from which the
finest marble in the world is produced,
will be controlled by the American com
pany. The total shipments of this marble
to the United States during the last ten
years have amounted in value to $780, ia.
while the value of the total output for
that period is given at S27, 7,3S2 500.
The Introduction Of modern machinery
would greatly increase the output of the
quarries, with a saving of the waste, due
to the clumsy methods of quarrying IN
vogue at present, which amounts 10 as
much. almost. as the total production.
1t is estimated that the value of the
quarres. under proper management,
could be doubled

these companies is now in his hands.
Besides. practically all the stock of
the Carnegie Steel Company is also lock
ed up in his strong boxes Mr.. Carnegie 5
holdings were turned over some time ago
and last week the minority stock came in.
To see the leading financial men inter
ested in the Billion-Dollar Trust Mr..
Morgan returned to his office yesterday
from his outing at Jekyl Island. He re-
manned two hours only, but much work
was crowded into that time His most
important caller by appointment was
Charles NJ Schwab. President of the
Carnegie Company. and slated for the
presidency of the new company.
Mir Morgan stopped over on his way
back from a day at Washington, and re-
turned there yesterday afternoon after
his conference in New York. He will de-
fer until next month his proposed Eu-
ropean trip in order to attend to the steel
companies consolidation, which will be-
gin business as the United States Steel
Corporation early this week. Messrs.
Rockefeller and Stillman will be here to
take part In the organization, the naming
of officers, and other matters.
Mr. Morgan had planned to sail on the
Oceanic on Wednesday next. but it was
said yesterday that he had postponed his
departure until the middle of April, when
he expects the Steel Trust will be sailing
smoothly on it's own account. He will be
back in time for the international yacht
races.
President Schwab and ex-Judge Gary
will, it is said, have the best offices, and
If chosen chairman Mr.. Gary will have
great deal to say and receive large
salary for saying It. Other Carnegie men
are in town or about to arrive for the
meeting which will be held week from
tomorrow at East Orange. Among those
in town are Vice President Phipps. II. c.
Frick and Secretary w. w. Blackburn.
Vice President c. r. Pacock is expected
soon.
At the meeting it is expected that the
Carnegie Company, which is omnibus
concern, will go out of existence. 1t was
formed a year ago to take in the stock of
the Carnegie Steel. II. G.. Frick Coke, and
other companies after the famous fight
between Andrew Carnegie and Mr.. Frick,
which resulted in a big combine, with
Sl60,CN0.000 capital stock and sl60,OJO,OO IN
bonds.
Most of the officials of the Carnegie
Steel Company expect to retain their Of
fees under the new management, but
President Schwab will be over all. 1t is
said in Pittsburg that he was rendered

Corporation with a guarantee to hold it
for five years.
The postponed annual meeting of the
National Steel Company will be held on
Tuesday. II is understood that repre-
sentatiyes of the new corporation viii
enter the board and that similar changes
will be made in the boards of directors
of the other subsidiary companies at
special meetings to be called soon.

NEW TRADES BY GAMINS.
Unique Ways of Making n Living ON
New York Streets,

NEW YORK, March 24.-In the enforce
ment of it's curfew rule on Broadway, be-
tween Thirtieth and FOrty-second Streets,
and the arrests of children which have
resulted agents of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children have
discovered new professions in which
homeless street gamins engage. The cur

the age of twelve years. unaccompanied
by parent or guardian, found on Broad
way after o'clock at night shall be ar
rested and confined in the Children's So
eiety rooms at Twenty-third Street and
Fourth Avenue.
When eleven of these youngsters were
arrested and arraigned before Magistrate
Hogan, in Jefferson, Market Court, few
days ago, all of the boys said that they
were either dress holders or match
lighters They admitted, also. that they
occasionally sold papers, and several said
that sometimes they were forced by poor
business to black boots. Paper selling
and boot backing were not to their lik-
ing however. and were only employed
when the streets were too clean to make
dress holding proitless, and when match
lighting had a hard run of luck.
Dress holding is the newest trade and
probably the most profitable. The ragged
boys congregate on some popular street

it is only a penGy, often more.
The curfew rule viii not materially in

a trade piled almost exclusively in the
daytime. The boys who have found it
to be profitable are a wise lot. No mat
ter how ragged and soiled their cloth es
may be, they always keep their hands
clean.
AS soon as the days work is finished in

themselves to the theatres and popular
