LORD ROBERTS oRDERLIFS.
Experiences of Six Indian Troopers
In London.

England plenty good. but plenty cold"
That is the verdict Of the six big, beard
ed troopers from our Indian Empire who
acted as Lord Roberts orderlies. and are
now seeing the sights of London under
the charge of Captain Maxwell. one OF
his staff
Three are Mohammedans and three Hin
docs. The two castles occupy separate
rooms indoors. but when they put on uni
forms to go out sightseeing they are all
soldiers of the Empress" and walk to-
gcther as such. All are Duffadars-that
is. native sergeants.
They have seen something of cities and
men, and, though appreciative of London,
are less impressed by its wonders than is
many country cousin.
They took Nine. Tussaud's calmly, being
struck chiefly by the effigy of William the
Conqueror. Yesterday they went for
walk in the West End and saw plenty
people,
When an Express representative call
ed on Saturday evening the Hindoos were
cooking supper and the Mohammedans
playing cards. Yusufalee Khan and Yes
seen Beg played Duffadar Mirbadshah and
the visitor. 1t was merry party. The game
was like whist, except that each player
right to left instead of left to right This,
to the novice. was confusing
Yusufalee Khan led cunningly. and Yes
seen Beg trumped judiciously. but Duffa-
dar Mirbadshah made up for his partners
blunders by finesse of a high order The
Express man was too much occupied in
remembering to play backward to think
of fnessing
The men do not play for pice-money
They are very temperate in every way.
The Hindoos drink one glass of whisky

are total abstainers.
Their food is chiefly fowls. eggs rice,
milk, fish. and fruit. Four chickens are
provided for them every day, which they
take into the garden and despatch them
selves. They do their own cooking right
from the beginning. on Saturday the
fishmonger brought some fish which. in
ignorance of native customs he had
cleaned himself. They promptly con-
demned that fish as unclean, however,
and threw it away with expressions of
disgust.
Lord Roberts has presented two of
these splendid soldiers with silver
watches. Here is the inscription IN one:

with a friend, and. the day WAS warm. they

Bishop essayed to pull the wine aboard already

IN FAVOR OF ATHLETICS.

chairman. Dr.. Andreen, Prof. V. o.
Peterson, James Cook football coach,

NJ KINLEYMONUMENT
Suggested That One Be Erected
in the City of Rock
Island.
MRS. RosENFIELD's PATRIOTIC IDEA
One That Will Be Heartily In.
dorsed by the People
Generally.

The suggestion was made by Mrs.
Julia RoseDfield to TIE ARGUS this
afternoon that it would be very ap-
propriate for the people of Rock Is
land to erect a monument'to our late
president, William Mckinley.
While Mrs. Rosenfield had not car
ried the idea so far as to b, able 10
offer detailed plan either as to t. e
manner of raising the necessary fund
nor as 70 the location most desirL bic,
she felt that it should be placed in the
city in preference to on the island,
aud was very sanguine in regard to
the success of such an enterprise if
launched now aud carried forward
with proper spirit.
As Mark OF Respect.
Rock Island has few monuments
and the one suggested would be both
appropriate as a mark of respect to
an honored chief of the nation. and
an ever present reminder to our
citizens of their duties as patriots.

WORST STORM OF THE YEAR
SNOWPLOWS BY THE DOZEN
WORKING TO CLEAR THE
BURIED TRACKS.
PASSENGER TRAFFIC TIED UP
The Lion End of March-Stock Inters
ests Will Suffer Very Little,
It Is Believed.

Omaha, Neb., March 25.-The Ulion
Pacific railroad reports this morning
that the four passenger trains that were
snow-bound most of the day yesterday
and last night in the vicinity of Ogalalla.
Neb., have been relieved and are maxi
ing headway in both directions. Several
snow plows last night cleared the tracks
between North Platte and Julesbure.
The snow has abated, and danger Of fur
ther blockade is believed to be passed.
President Burt and party, whose car was
attached to one OF the east bound trains
which was caught in the drift, left
Cheyenne shortly after midnight. The
storm center was apparently at Ogalalla,
where the temperature has risen ana
live stock interests will not suffer. The
storm this morning was moving north
westerly.
Five freight trains are still stalled
near North Platte. Union Pacific people
say that this is by far the heaviest snow
| Of the season. The Elkhorn expects to
| have it's tracks open this afternoon. The
| passenger train which left Omaha yes
| terday afternoon is still at Long Pine.
The train leaving Deadwood this morn
ing is expected to get through without
hindrance. The Burlington line to Bill
lings will be open by the middle of the
| afternoon and trains running usual.
| The Rock Island train from Denver, to
| avoid snow banks, has gone east via
part of the Kansas City line of the
Union Pacific 4 st. Joseph. A train has
been made up at Fairbury to come via
Omaha and run on to Chicago.

CUBA WILL GIVE

SAY PLATT AMENDMENT IS

New York, March 25.-A dispatch to

Congressman Brantley has had con-
ference with Senor Nunez. He learned
that the convention relations committees
report to be made on Monday, would
state that the Platt amendment was
vague and indefinite. 1t did not define
the area of land wanted for coaling sta
tions, or state where they We're to be To-
Gated. &t.
The intervention clause was likewise
indefinite, the committee will further say.
If the convention should accept this
clause, the United States could intervene
on any Dretext even if stable govern
ment existed. 1t was not satisfactory be-
cause the United States could raise a
point and the president could send troops
to Cuba without the action of congress,

gress. ets
