little hilarious. Our boat was racing
with another boat. and when we got
ahead our boys would hurrah and take
another drink. It became very excit-

other officers soon imbibed the spirit
and their enthusiasm began to show
itself.
The iiremen Of the boat were swelt.

captain walked nervously up and down
the deck. The head engineer watched
carefully the steam and water gauges,
Some Of our boys took pity on the fire.

proceeded to push wood into those huge
furnaces. Major r. ]. Rombauer,
chief Of artillery for our division Of the
Sixteenth Army Corps. was talking
with Capt. "A. B. SWheelock, Lieut.. J.
81. Bridgeman, and other officers, when
the Captain Of the boat came up to the
Major and said very excitedly:
..Msjor, am afraid your boys will
burn up my boat."
Lieut.. Bridgsman, hearing the cap
tain enter his complaint, immediately
stepped forward, and in language very
comforting, said to him:
Never mind captain, II our soldiers
burn Your boat I'll pay for it,
This capped The climax, it being well
known there was not enough money in
the whole company 10 buy a gang

seemed TO convince the steamboat
owner that the 7th Wisconsin battery

Msior Rombsuer is living down in
Missouri, and wrote Capt. Wheelock
not long ago that he was coming 10
Sioux Falls to see him and any mem
bers OF his famous battery yet alive,
and wanted to know If Jim Bridgeman
had paid for any steamboats, lately.
Col. D. b. Hawn isour informant, and
he says Bridgemsn's heart is just as
large to-day as it was when he volun-
teered to pay that frightened captain
for his boat. Jim Bridgeman lives at

London, May 30.-The Hon. Michael
Henry Herbert. who is nominally Sec

will probably be the next British anu
bassador to the United States, in sue
cession to the late Lord Pauncefote.
Mr.. Herbert's appointment will prob

mains of Lord Fauncefote arrive in
England. The only question in regard
to Mr.. Herbert's selection is the APP
prevail of King Edward.
The Associated Press understands
his majesty is taking a keen personal
interest in the matter of Lord Paunce-
totes successor, but he will
not be asked officially 20
confirm or disapprove the can
didate of the foreign Office
until the period of time during which
the government pays respect to the
late Lord Pauncefote has elapsed.
While there is no reason to believe
that King Edward will object to Mr..

element of doubt in the matter until
