THR ARMY GANTEEN
Adjustment X 'sponsib!e for DeplOr-
able Increase of 0ffenses.
1t Has Enriched Saloon Men, Added
Wealth to Gamblers and Kept up
Dissolute Women-Ab0Ve Is
FunstOn'S Statement.

Washington. Sept 27-Abolishment
of the army canteen is responsible for
a "deplorable increase of offenses in
general and assertions in particular,
according to the annual report of
Brigadier General Funston, depart
mentment of Colorado. General
Funston declares that the ousting of
the canteen by act of congress has
lowered the discipline of the army.
ruined scores of good soldiers and en-
riched saloon keepers. gamblers and
dissolute women. He explains the de-
terioration as follows:
I'm my opinion there are two prin.
cipal causes for this state of affairs:
First, resentment of unaccustomed
limitations and restrictions felt by
men returning from the field of ser
vice to the monotony and routine
work of garrison life; second, the
abolition of the canteen feature of the
post exchange. Since this action was
taken saloons of the lowest type have
been established just outside of the
boundaries of the various reserva-
tons; their proprietors in almost
every case, unprincipled scoundrels
who leave nothing undone to debauch
the soldiers and obtain their money.
Being in all cases outside the limits
of any city the pToprietors Of these re-
sorts are subject to no municipal po-
lice regulations, and sell liquor regard
less of hours and whether the buyer is
already intoxicated or not Gambling
is anniversary in these dives and they
are frequented by dissolute women.
The soldier whose desire for drink
would ordinarily be satisfied by few
glasses of beer in the canteen of the
post exchange. goes to one of these re-
sorts and does well if he escapes be-
fore he has spent or gambled away all
his money, overstayed his leave or en-
gagged in an alteration. AS rule,
the local authorities regard the exist
ence of these places with indifference
or approval as it causes the soldier TO
spend his honey In the community.
| The efficiency of the army or the ruin
of a good soldier is nothing to them.
| There can be no reasonable doubt that
most Of the trials by general courts

are directly traceable to this cause,

AN INTERNATIONAL EVENT.
Statue Of Count de Rochambeau Un.
Yeiled at Washinqton.

Washington, May 26.-The bronze.
statue of Lieutenant General the Count
de Rochambeau, who commasded the
French army at Yorktown in the Rev:
olutionary war, was unveiled here.
The ceremony was a brilliant affair,
participated in by President Roose-
welt, the leading officers of the army
and navy, the diplomatic corps and
distinguished company of French
army and navy officers. z
For the first time in it's history the
national capital witnessed the sight
of rank on rank of French seamen
swinging through Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and mingling their cheers with
those Of the American bluejackets
and soldiers, while at the same time
the French tricolors were entwined
with the Stars and Stripes and the
sound of the "Marseillaise' was heard
along with the "Star Spangled Ban
ner."
The ceremony of unveiling occurred
at the southwest corner of Lafayette
square, almost opposite the White
House, where the massive figure of
the French general has been erected.
The exercises consisted of an invo-
cation by Rev. DR.. Stafford, an ad-
dress of welcome by President Roose-
welt, the unveiling Of the statue by
the Countess de Rochambeau, brief
addresses by M. Cambon, the French
minister to the United States, and

to France, an Grafton by Senator Lodge

Volunteers were called ,sfor and a

their places were quickly filled by

cred was taken from No. 3 mime and
was that of Willie Robertson, lad of

three more bodies were recovered.

to be suspended for an hour or two.

embassy at 8 o'clock for Baltimore the

THE OUTLOOK is BRIGHT.
British Hopeful Of Peace as Result Of
NEGOTIATIONS,

London, May 2S.-The British cab
met was in session for two hours dur
ing the day, discussing the communica-
tions received from Pretoria since the
meeting of the ministers on Friday
last. It is understood that the inner
committee of the cabinet will tele-
graph the result Of the deliberations to
Pretoria during the afternoon.
The Boer delegates at the Trans
vaal capital will then probably return
to veereningen and report to the
burghers who are still assembled
there.
According to the views of officials
here there is nothing to warrant the
pessimistic opinions expressed in some
quarters regarding the ultimate out
come of the discussions at Pretoria and
Vereeningen.

government continues to be satisfied
that the negotiations will result in
peaceful settlement. Some minor points
are still being discussed but these are

PELLETS OF SNOW.

How They Fling and Drift In the
Adirondack Region.
On a good drtftmaking day in the
Adirondacks the snow comes not in
the star shaped fakes that look so
pretty when portrayed on page of the
dictionary, but In small pellets. These
pellets are in shape like tiny white
footballs usually, and they come roll
ing and tumbling down wind as If they
had been "kicked for fair" by the half
back gods Of the gale. And yet while
they roll and tumble and bound they
find lodging places, and as the idler
gazes he sees them pile up in wall on
the crest Of the road cut. Higher and
higher grows the pile, forming at first
a vertical wall, but before this has
risen three inches it is seen to overhang
the gulch.
Though round and easily rolled, these
pellets in some way fit to each other as
bricks would, until the overhang is per-
haps fifth as great as the elevation of
the wall, and then, marvellous and i'm
possible rs it would seem to the unac-
customed observer, lip forms on the
crest Of the wall, and soon it begins to
droop and hang down. Wider and Ion
ger it grows, farther and farther it
droops, until its shape is precisely like
the lip formed on huge wave when
1t breaks on shoal water beach. Lips
that are ten feet wide and hang down
three feet clear Of all, though but six
or eight inches thick where they join
the chin Of the wall, are not uncom-
mon. By what magic is it that these
frozen, oblong pellets that 60 bounding
along as merrily as footballs form into
such shape as that? OF course IL the
storm continues a time usually comes
when the lips break off because Of their
great weight And then no new lip
forms to replace the lost one. The snow
merely drops over into the lee of the
wall and gradually fills the cutting

Biographical Sketch Of the Late Lord
Pauncefote.

Biographical Sketch of the Late Lord
Pauncefote.
The Right Honorable Lord Paunce-
fote of Preston, G.. c. B., G. c. M. G.,
the first ambassador to the United
States and the dean of the diplomatic
corps in Washington, was born in Mu-
mich, Bavaria, "a years ago and was
the issue of one of the most ancient of
British families, whose history is
founded in the Doomsday book. Edu-
Gated as lawyer, his governmental
service began in Hong Kong as attor-
ney general in 1865, and after much
valuable colonial experience he came
to Washington in 1889, first as minister
and afterWard as first ambassador.
His service here has been one un-
broken record of successful diplomacy.
The Bering sea negotiations were
among his earliest works of impor-
tance and it was his familiarity with
that difficult subject that led to his Sc
lection by the foreign Office for the
post at Washington. The arbitration
treaty negotiated with Secretary Olney
was the forerunner of the great work
accomplished at The Hague; and it
may be said that it embodied some of
the most important principles of the
great general convention regulating ar
bitration afterwards framed by The
Hague conference. Then came a num-
Der of reciprocity treaties and arrange
ments involving a vast amount of
study and work, all of which were per-
fected as far as the executive branch
of our government could cooperate
with Lord Pauncefote. Soon after
Secretary Hay assumed Office Lord
Pauncefote began the task which he
himself regarded as the greatest &C.
complishment of his busy life, namely,
to forever set at rest the questions
growing out of the old Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and he entered with energy
again upon negotiations, the result of
which was the framing of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty recently ratified.
For these valuable services the Brit
ish government did Lord Pauncefote
the honor to three times extend the
term of his service at Washington,
which would otherwise have ceased
when he attained the age of 70 years.
