weeks officers of the national
guard from nearly all the states
between Wisconsin and Georgia. Cal
ifornia and Rhode Island, have re-
manned at Camp Root witnessing prae-
tical object lessons in the movement
OF armies and the control of men in
action. There were very few of them
left in camp this morning. Had those
who departed prolonged their visit but
one day they would have gained knowl-
edge of the art of swiftly placing an
army in motion, second in Importance
TO nothing they have acquired concern
ing the more snowy operations in the
field. This knowledge they would have
obtained by looking on at the sim
pie, friXionless but marvelously rapid
breakup of Camp Root under the en-
ergetic personal direction of Captain
c. B. Baker. the chief quartermaster
of the maneuver camp, who had en-
tire control OF the loading OF the trains
and transportation of the troops.
At e:29 this morning 1.50O tents stood
in the camp. All their ropes had been

toned upon the hillside which slopes
away to the east from the tent of

bugle TO his lips and the notes of
the general rang out upon the air.
Instantly the call was caught up by

diers loosened the ropes they held and
instantly every tent was on the
ground. Within fifteen minutes every
tent was ready for shipment and the
first loads of them were being placed
aboard the cars for transportation 10

be sent. The work went on as though
1t had been rehearsed a thousand
times. One hour after the first note
of the general sounded the first
train, carrying the headquarters band
and four companies of the Eighteenth
infantry, pulled out for Fort D. A.

wailing cry arose from the assembled
wOrshipers. and then, without speaking
TO each other. they turned and each
sought his separate abode.
The use of newspapers instead of the
real Chinese incense is a new innova-
ton, countenanced only two years ago
and allowed only after several trials
Tor heTesy. IL seems that two years
ago a number of the Chinese popula-
ton here decided that the incense i'm
ported from the Flowery Kingdom was
too expensive, and decided that the
newspapers covered with the inscrip-
tons of the foreign devils" would
serve the purpose. 1t was first intro
duced at this time. two years ago, and
brought forth a storm Of protest from
the orthodox Cinnamon, who held that
old customs were better than new. The
younger generation detained against
the useless expenditure of coin for
those long dead, and held that any kind
Of paper which bore an inscription was
good enough. The fight was carried
10 the chiefs in San Francisco and it
was finally decided that the newspaper
as an incense was orthodox. There
were some among the old COnfucians
last night who sighed for the days of
incense. and held printers ink 10 be

FRENCH STRIKE SPREADING
"Yellews" Are Preparing to Resist
Union Men.

Paris, Oct. 9.-Further information
received here from the coal mining re-
gions indicates that the strike is spread
ing rapidly, but while in the Pas de
Calais, Nord and other districts the
cessation OF work is already complete,
in other regions the mines are still
working at full capacity. The strikers
in the Pas de Calais district number
1000 men. The mines are working full
at Mont Lucon, department of ALTER,
and Mont Ceau Les Mines, department
of Saone Et Loire, where a large ma
Jority OF the miners are opposed 10 the
strike. At Amin, department of Du
Nord, only $500 out of $4,000 men have
ceased work.
The yellows, as the anti-strikers are
called. are preparing TO offer resistance
in case attempts are made to prevent
them from working. They are dis
tributing pistols and cartridges and are
organizing night patrols. 1t is believed
that. at the most, only 120. 900 out of the
10000 coal miners in France will join
the strike.
Several minor disturbances have been
reported from various points, but no Sc
riOus trouble has yet occurred Strong
bodies of gendarmes and troops are
guarding the pits and patToIling the
districts where attempts at violence are
feared.

the encampment was the report of the
pension committee OF the G. A. r.
This committee severely scored the
medical division of the pension bureau,
declaring that IL was division where
were executed the claims of veterans
seeking pensions. II accused the per-
sonnet OF this division OF approaching
the reports OF the examining surgeons
throughout the country with suspicion
and distrust and as made in bad faith.
IL denounced the reports that extensive
frauds were practiced in pension claims
as absolutely baseless.

the ONCE OF Senator Thomas c. Platt,
at which there were present. among
others. the two senators from Penn
sylvania and the governor OF New
York, and nearly all the heads of the
big corporations controlling the an

conference had a contrary effect 10
that which had been hoped for 1t, and
the operators departed declaring ad-
herence TO the policy they had fol-
lowed from the first. of resisting the
demands OF the miners union to the
bitter end. There were other confer

tails of which are given below on the

in the situation today so far as ii
might have been affected by the gath
