been captive among tho Sioux
Through long years Of his boyhood,
aud knew the Big Horn Range as
Webb did the banks of the Wabash.
"They can stand off q thousand SOL
diers," said the guide, IF once they
get into the rocks. They'd have
gone there first off only there was
no water. Now there's plenty snow"
SO Blake's instructions were to fol-
low them without pushing, to let
them feel they were being pursued,
yet by no means to hasten them, and,
it the generals favorite scout proved
to be all he promised as guide and
pathfinder, Webb might reasonably
hope by dint of hard night riding, to
be first at the tryst at break of day.
Then they would have tho retreating
Sioux, hampered by their few wound
ed and certain prisoners whom they
priced, hemmed between rocky
heights on every side, and sturdy
horsemen front and rear.
1t was eight by the watch at the
parting of the ways. 1t was $3.50
when Blake retook the trail, with
Sergeants Schneider and Winsor, the
latter borrowed from Ray, far in the
van. Even had the ground been hard
and stony these keen-eyed soldier
scouts could have followed the signs
almost as unerringly as the Indians,
for each had had long years of ex-
perience all over the west; but, de-
spite the steadily falling snow, the
traces of hoofs and, for a time, of
travois poles could be readily seen
and followed in the dim gray light of
the blanketed skies. Somewhere
aloft, above the film of cloud, the sill
very moon was shining, and that was
illumination more than enough for
men of their years on the trail.
For over an hour, Blake followed
the windings of ravine that grew
closer and sleeper as it burrowed
into the hills. Old game trails are as
good as turnpikes in the eyes of the
plainsman. 1t was when the ravine
began to split into branches that the
problem might have puzzled them,
had not the white fleece lain two
inches deep on the level when "Lo"

rough edges of the original impress
sion were merely rounded over by
the new fallen snow. The hollows
and ruts and depressions led on from
one, deep cleft into another, and by
midnight Blake felt sure the quarry
could be but few miles ahead and
Bear Cliff barely five hours march
away. SO, noiselessly, the signal
"V~'t'" -'."nt rearward down the
long, dark, sinuous column Of twos,
ana every man slipped out of saddle,
some OF them stamping, so numb
were their feet. With every mile the
air had grown keener and colder.
They were glad when the next word
whispered was, LEAD on!" instead of
''Morrt.'
By this time they were far up
among the pine-fringed heights, with
the broad valley of the Hig Horn
lying outspread to the west, invisible
as the stars above, and neither by
ringing shot nor winged arrow had

tho leaders known the. faintest
cheek. It seemed as though the
Indians, in their Desperate effort to
carry of the most important or val
ued of their charges, were bending
all their energies to expedittng the
retreat. Time enough to turn on the
poEsuers when once the rocks had
closed about them-when the wound
ed were safe in the Businesses and
the pursuers far from supports. But
at the foot Of steep ascent, the two
leading scouts-rival sergeants of
rival troops, but devoted friends for
nearly twenty years-were seen by
the next in column, single corporal
followed them at thirty yards dis
lance, to halt and begin poking at
some dark object by the wayside.
Then they pushed on again. A dead
pony, under a quarter inch coverlet
of snow was what met the eyes Of
the silently trudg1ng command as it
followed. The high-peaked wooden
saddle tree was still 'cinched" to the
stiffening carcass. Either the In
dams were pushed for time or over
stocked with saddlery. Presently
there came low whistle from the
military "middleman" between the
scouts and little advance guard.
Run ahead.' growled the sergeant
commanding to his boy trumpeter.
''Giye me your reins." And, leaving
his horse, the youngster stumbled
along up the winding trail; got his
message and waited. Give this to
the captain" was the word sent back
by Schneider. and "this' was mitten

ten the captain examined curiously,
as he ploughed ahead of his main
body, and then turned to his subal~
tern with grin on his face:
"Beauty draws us with a single
hair" said he, land can't shake us
even when she gives us the mitten.
Ross,' he added, after moments
thought, remember this. With this
gang there are two or three sub
chiefs that we should get, alive or
dead, but the chief end of man, so
far as ''K'' Troops concerned, is
to capture that girl, unharmed.''
And just at dawn, so gray and wan
and pallid it could hardly be told
from the pale moonlight of the ear
lier hours, the dark, snake-like col
umn was halted again, nine miles
further in among the wooded heights
With Bear Cliff still out of range and
sight, something had stopped the
scouts, and Blake was needed at the
front. He found Schneider crouching
at the foot of a tree, gazing warily
forward along southward-sloping
face of the mountain that was
sparsely covered with tall, straight
pines, and that faded into mist few
hundred yards away. The trail-the
main trail, that is-seemed to &c

short distance, downward through a
hollow or depression; while, up the
mountain side to the left, the north,

 Has Rome Been So sumpt-
 ously Decorated.

Rome, April 27.-King Edward arrived from Naples this afternoon and was re- ceived by King Victor Emmanuel in per- son. .H
 Their majesties received a great popular ovation. King Edward who was stand ing on the platform of his railroad car when the train reached the station, descended alone Almost before the train stopped King Victor Emmanuel stepped on the car and the two monarchs em- branced and kissed each other four times, the Italian King saying quite audibiy in English: "I welcome you with all my heart to Rome.''
 The crowds along the route followed the Kings numbering 1000 and included 12.000 British and a great many Amerl- cans, as shown by the number of stars and stripes displayed. The diplomatic body not being among those who well comed King Edward at the station, the Ambassadors. Ministers and foreign of- ficials witnessed the passage from vari- ous points of vantage. The United States Ambassador. MT. Meyer, and his family had balcony in the middle of the Via Mazionale. It was decorated with American colors.
 Americans Gracious.
  ton was at the American Episcopal Church, St. Pauls, whi ch was decorated with American and Italian flags. The church being on the route of the process sion, the rector Dr. Nevin. erected a large stand where about eighty guests were seated. When the two sovereigns approached the church they were pleas antly greeted by hearing the chimes of the church play God Save the King" fol- lowed by the Italian royal march. King Edward recognized the courtesy of the Americans by saluting and smiling.
 Decorations of the City.
 Seldom before had the city been so sumptuously decorated. The streets and buildings were brilliant with flowers. flags and draperies and on all sides were to be seen the entwined flags and arms of Italy and Great Britain.
 The most imposing moment of the recep- tion was shortly after King Edward en- tered the Quirinal. The plaza below was packed with thousands of people acclaim ed his majesty frsntically until he was obliged to appear twice on a balcony with Queen Helena on his right and King Victor Emmanuel on his left and sur rounded by Italian princes. King Ed ward. by his gestures. clearly expressed the deepest appreciation of the signif- canoe of the scene.
 After a short rest at the Quirinal, King Edward re-entered his carriage and escorted by the Cuirassiers visited the Queen Mother and then returned to the palace. Later he went to the British Embassy where he remained until [ o'clock holding a reception of the Eng fish residents of Rome. Then he returned to the Quirinal and dined with King and Queen of Rome. The dinner was a strictly family repast.

 fish Earl.

 dress on Grant.

Des Moines. Ia, April N.-Clark How ell, of The Atlanta Constitution, ad- dressed the Grand Club of Des Moines on Grants life as a peace lesson. His remarks about the United Nation and the right settlement of the States right ques- tion met with applause and his address was followed by the singing of Dixie" by tho audience. Mir. Howell argued that Grant was responsible for the Hamp- ton Roads peace conference to which he melted Lincoln.
 'No service this great chieftain ever rendered in his brilliant military achieve ments equals the great good accomplish ed by his consistent campaigns for prac- tical peace" said MT. Howell. While the battle-scarred banners of our South ern valleys bear unwilling testimony to the deeds of this great soldier as he marched beneath the flags of Mars, every available hill that trem oled to the thun- der of his guns has ony since given back the unweleoming echoes of his greeting: Let us have peace.

DEMANDS MODERATE.
RUSSIAN DESIGNS IN MAN

 Made.

St. Petersburg. April N.-The Russian Foreign Ohice when shown the Pekin dis. patch of April g. setting forth the eight demands made by Russia on China re- garding Mapchuria, entered a denial of a number of the points and minimized the importance of others
 Commenting or each point separately the Foreign Onice says:

 "Second-Depends upon China. Not mentioned in our pourparlors.

Of the towns not opened to trade the railway will carry Russian and foreign goods alike through the country. but we or they cannot sell them in the unopened towns. If the towns are onened all will benefit alike. It is the railways interests to demand the widest possible developments of trade. The pourparlers concern multidunious detailed questions which were not foreseen when the evac- uation was decided upon"

CANTEEN A DRAWBACK.
Miles Thinks Its Abolition Has Aid
 ed Army.


 Washington. April N.-The extended re- port of Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles. concerning his observations in the Philippines was made public today by the War Department. It is dated February 19 1s0S and covers all features of his trip through the islands, together with his recommendations
 Of the Moros General Miles says:
 The problem of reducing or controlling these people in case of continued hostiI- ities does not appear to be a difficult one They are poorly armed. have no means of withstanding our mountain artillery and field mortars. Their forts possess but slight resisting power and easily can be destroyed by modern artillery.
 The general condition of the troops ;n the archipelago was creditable to them selves and to the country. The officers and soldiers made a good appearance.
 'The effect of the climate is a most se- rious detriment to the service. The men go there in perfect health and in the prim of manhood but as a body are seri- ously affected in the course of two or three years service. Very few escape. The majority are debilitated. During my visits to the garrisons 1t SO happened that I did not see single soldier under the influence of liquor.
 "on November 2. 1902. there were: Troops on duty. 17574: sick, 1.415.
 "As the result of my observations it is my judgment that the discontinuance of the liquor feature of the canteen has been beneficial to the army. Now that the temptation has been removed from the immediate presence of the young men of the army they are less likely to indulge in the use of liquor.
 The number of troops that will he re- Guired to occupy the Philippine Islands Is still problematical. While it is claimed that the people are pacifed. evidences of hostility toward American sovereignty are apparent. The newspapers published in both Spanish and English contain al- most daily accounts of hostilities, depre- dations or disturbances of the peace"

 Tn my judgment it is not feasible or economical plan and there would be no departure from the present system of supplying frozen beef"
 General Weston says his office has ney- CT received any complaint about frozen beef but on the contrary. uniform com mendations General Weston adds:
 Native beef is out of the question. if 1t were possible to procure 1t. and there would be danger fin using 1t besides it's being poor. stringy and tough and the reindeer pest practically destroyed all the native cattle. The experiment. of bring ing in cattle was tried and as stated by Colonel Woodruff. was an absolute faii- ure."
