THE CANTEEN QUESTION.
The President Of the American Anti-Sa-
loon League Makes Statement on
Its Attitude.

Springfield, o., Oct. 6.-Edwin Din
widdie, president Of the American
Anti-Saloon league, gave out the fol-
lowing statement yesterday with ref
erence to the attitude of the league
on the army canteen:
IF such reports as published from
Gen. Funston are correct two things
are apparent. First the canteen or
beer-selling army saloons so de-
bauched the men in the service that
these conditions of drunkenness and
disorder exist, not by reason Of its
abolition, but because its presence
during 70 years has had demoraliz-
ing effect on officers and men; Sec
ond, when generals and commanding
officers are ready to state that they
cannot maintain discipline without
beer saloon it is certain proof Of
their incompetency.
"We demand fair trial of the post
exchange system with the canteen
eliminated. Congress appropriated
100000 to improve the mems condi-
ton and add five cents daily to their
rations,. laudable change in the
governments policy. The people will
never consent to the return of the
canteen without trial of this sub
stitute. There is serious temper
ance problem in the army. We advo-
cate the stoppage Of official saloons;
provision for the recreation and So
ciability of the men and disciplinary
orders against drinking.
Eve advocate the present law on
the broad principle that the govern
ment should neither be in the saloon
business, permit premises to be used
for such purposes nor officially tempt
its soldiers to drink"

AT CAMP ROOT.


Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. e.-Sunday
at Camp Root was devoted to the
drying out process. The heavy
clouds that have hung over the camp
for the last four days cleared away
during the night and the sun was
unobscured from dawn to sunset.
The soldiers took advantage of the
opportunity to air their damp bed
ding, while the officers contemplated
the rapidly drying roads with great
satisfaction, for the bright sum yes
terday meant decent roads for
marching this morning and the con-
sequent resumption Of the maneu-
vers.
Yesterday was the last day in
camp Of the Kansas men and early
in the morning Gen. Bates, accompa-
MED by his aide, Capt. Reeves, rode
over to the camp. He was given
most enthusiastic reception and
just before leaving made short adj
dress to the men. He said that he
was glad that they had been able to
come to the camp as it had enabled
the governemnt to show to the off
GERS from other states how the gov
eminent would treat the men who
came to future maneuvers and there
by encourage other states to send
their troops to Fort Riley when the
maneuvers were repeated next year.
He hoped, he said, to see the Kansas
troops again. The general, who pos
sesses in large degree the faculty
Of being popular without effort, was
cheered enthusiastically as he left
the camp.
The military problem for to-day is
the attack and defense of a position.
Maj. Leach, Of the engineers, will !
have command Of the position and
will have in his command the Sixth |,
infantry, the battalion of engineers,
Two batteries and squadron Of cav
Try. Gen. Kobbe, who will lead the
attacking force, will have all the re-
nainder Of the troops at the camp
lnder his orders. The position is
lot to be heavily fortified, the terms
II the problem calling for hastily
entertainments. 1t Is ex-
,ected that to-day's work will prove
me Of the most interesting Of the
ntire series Of maneuvers.

He found some dissatisfied with their

to favor leaving the penitentiary and
employing free labor rather than ex-
tend their business to another peni-
Tertiary. His proposition was to fur
nish men at 80 cents day and fur
nish the buildings and the power to

THE ST. LOUIS GRAND JURY.


st. Louis, Oct. 6.-The June grand
jury, which has been in session con-
tinuously since it was called into
being, has made it's final report and
has been discharged. No written or
verbal communication accompanied
the report. OF the five indictments
handed in, four related to criminal
cases other than bribery. The other
indictment contains two counts in
which 16 members of the municipal
assembly combine are jointly charged
with bribery. The men accused are:
John A. Sheridan, Emil Hartmann,
Edmund Bersch, Otto Schumacher,
Charles Denny, Adolphe MADEIRA,
John Shnittier, Charles Gutke, Louis
Decker, Ted Albright, John Helms,

Harry Faulkner, against whom
bench warrants have already been
issued and informations filed.
The witnesses named in the in
dictment are: Delegates John K.
Murrell, F. E. Murrell and George
F. Robertson.
The first count of the indictment
recites that on November 2s, 1898,
the foregoing acting in their official
capacity as members Of the house
Of delegates, entered into corrupt
bargain with Ed Butler, by the terms
of which they were to use their influ-
ence and votes to secure the passage
Of the measure known as the city
lighting bill in consideration Of the
sum of $47,5OO, paid by Ed Butler to
Charles F. Kelly, to be distributed
among the aforesaid delegates. The
second count Of the indictment is an
exact counterpart Of the first, ex-
cept as to the identity Of the person
with whom the alleged bargain was
made, and who is charged with hav-
ing paid the $47,5OO. The third count
alleges that the bargain with the
delegates was made and the money
paid over by some person or persons
to the grand jury unknown"

Al the end OF the maneuvers 1t was
estimated that Capt. Rivers hac
crippled about IS to 40 per cent. Of
the wagons, but he had suffered a
heavy loss in accomplishing that
much Of his task. He had in his
command eight companies of cav.
airy, and besides the usual losses in
cident to long range rifle and ar
tillery fire, three of his eight COM
panies were wiped off the map of
the maneuvers by attempting to
charge strong line Of infantry in
position.
The orders covering the days work
gave the following as the general
situation: A Blue army operating
southwest from Salina, Kan, with
headquarters at that point. receives
Its supplies from Topeka as base.
The railroads are assumed to be
broken up and supply by wagon
train is rendered necessary. One Of
the trains conducting supplies from
Topeka to the army has encamped
at Ogden. A Brown raiding force
had circled around the front Of the
Blue army and has appeared in the
vicinity Of Westgate post Office,
where its commander learns that
the train, with its escort, has camped
at Ogden. He makes his prepara-
tons to attack this train at some
point on the Fort Riley reservation
with view to inAicting upon it as
much damage as possible.
: As in all the previous maneuvers
the utmost care was taken by the Of
fcers of the regular army to see
that the officers Of the national
guard saw everything possible. The
methods of loading and handling
pack mules and army wagons were
carefully explained and the military
features of the maneuvers made as
clear as possible. Nothing was left
undone to make the days work Of
as much benefit to them as possible.
To-day the men Of the Kansas and
Colorado national guards will take
part in the maneuvers for the first
time. The problem will be the same
as that worked out on September 81
outpost exercise involving an at
tack on an outpost position. Four
exercises will be carried.
Last night Capt. Gallagher, of the
commissary department, addressed
the officers Of the camp on ration
ing troops" To-day Col. Arthur L.
Wagner will speak on strategy"
and an officer Of the engineers will
discuss "entrenchments." The Off
GERS Of the national guard have been
urged to take elaborate notes Of
these lectures, and most Of them say
they win do 20. !
