Hon. John H. Reagan. who stated In
q speech recently delivered in his home
state that the United States is destined to
become a monarchy, has been confed-
crate congressman, United States con-
gresham and United States senator
from Texas. He was born In Tennessee.
October 8, 1918, served In the Texan war
against the Indians, became judge. and
later was postmaster general and secre-
tary of the treasury of the confederacy.
After the close of the war between the
states he was held prisoner Of war for .

political enemies but there Is a senti-
ment, which is daily gathering strength
that Washington needs a fighter In the
chamber. The state wants money for
harbor improvements, federal buildings,
lighthouses, land surveys and hundred
other things, and 1t also wants man
in the senate who will work until he
gets the appropriations. For this rea-
son the aggressive "stevedore" is more
popular in the Tacoma ranks than the
sociable Foster.
Hamilton has been a member Of the
state senate for three sessions. Fle
knows men, has genius for planning
campaigns, is a man who does things,
and does them thoroughly. Never be-
fore has Tacoma and Pierce county had
a political leader like him. He con-
tributed more than any other one man
to the election Of Foster In the last SEN
atorial campaign. He outlined the fight
which won friends for Foster, while the
John L. Wilson and Levi Ankeny fac
tons were in deadlock, and carried his
man through to victory.
Hamilton's fighting qualities made
him the leader of the railroads in their
struggle during the last two sessions to
prevent the passage of bill creating a
state railroad commission. AS chair
man Of the appropriations committee
he introduced New York methods into
the legislature, with the result that no
appropriation bill can be attached to an
other measure, however meritorious,
thereby placing each measure upon its
merits.
He was born in Brooklyn in July,
1865, and was graduated from the West
chester County institute, Of Peekskill.
in 1882. Six years later he moved to
this state and opened real estate Of
fee at Port Townsend. In October, 1888,
he entered the employ of the Puget Sound
Stevedore company as bookkeeper,
afterward becoming manager. Soon
afterward he became member Of the
firm of McCabe 4 Hamilton, which now
does 80 per cent. of the stevedoring work
on Puget sound. The firm uses electric
conveyors of its own invention. which
have contributed largely toward maxi
ing Tacoma the port where heavy cargo,
inward and outward, Is handled, at less
cost per ton than in any other port in
the world. Hamilton's political expert
ence began in New York, where for four
years he was assistant to Gen. ]. w.
Hustled, known as the BALD Eagle of
Westchester."

William F. Cody was relating story
which concerned an Indian who had met
with an accident in a Buffalo Bill" show.
It was necessary to amputate the In
dams leg, and in the description of this
operation Cody was interrupted frequent
ly by a young doctor who injected tech
meal and medical terms into the straight
vernacular of the scout. He was irri-
tated, but ignored the doctor. "A few
days after the operation" continued the
narrator, 1.-The Indian learned that his
leg had been burned. With q whoop ho

Elliott commanded the legation guard
for three months subsequent to this
time.
The scene of hostilities having been
transferred, he was ordered with the
marine guard to Tientsin, which he
>helped to protect during the winter.
Later ON, at the request Of Mr.. DENLY,
then American minister at Picking, he
acted as aid to that official on the occa-
sion to the first audience ever granted

In order to perform this duty Gen. e.
lott was compelled to make the trip on
horseback, passing through about $4,000
undisciplined Chinese troops, suffering
constant insult and running no little
personal risk.

which were the source of the enemy's
water supply. This fight resulted in
giving security to the marine camp on
guantanamo Hill, and for his conduct
IN this battle the president advanced
Elliott three numbers for eminent and
conspicuous conduct in battle"
Gen. Elliott having been ordered to
the Philippines, in command of bat

feated the enemy over very bad ground,
and captured, by direct assault, posi-
ton At Novaleta which had been deemed
impregnabls by the Spanish and before
which they once lost an entire regiment.

pay Of some of them runs up to $4,000

There is not 4 foreign government
which does not permit its crack bands
to take concert engagements and 60 on
tours" said Lieut.. Santelman. MANY OF
the famous bands OF the world have
visited America and have been received
with ovations by our people. but when
ever have desired to play an engagement
in or outside of Washington have been
met with a storm of protest from local
musicians unions Why do not tho
unions object to foreign bands that come
over here and play long engagements?
They do not. But they object to our or
ganization, though We are the repre-
sentatives of the United States govern
ment, carrying tho flag Of our country
with us in the best sense"
Some time ago the musicians Of the
Marine band applied for membership In
the local musicians union. Their ap-
plications, fees, etc., were returned to
them without any explanation. 1t ap-
pears that the Federation Of Musicians
has clause in its bylaws which forbids
members to play with any enlisted man
Of the United States army or navy.

Command Of This Body Transferred
to Gen. Elliott.
New Chief 10 one Of the Most Popular
O0cers IN the Service and Has
Done Excellent Work In
Many Places.

Tho formal transfer Of the command
Of the United States marine corps from
Mai. Gen. Charles Haywood to Brig
Gen. George F. Elliott took place re-
Gently at the headquarters OF the corps
in Washington, and was attended by all
the officers Of the corps stationed IN
that city, There were no special
formalities beyond the reading of the
official orders for the retirement OF Gen.
Haywood and the assignment of Gen.
Elliott to the command. Each OF the
officers made a short address suitable
to the occasion, and at their conclusion
the two held reception to allow the
members Of the corps to take official
leave of their retiring commander. and
to pay their respects to the new COM
mandant. The clerical force of the Of
flee also called in body and paid it's
respects.
Gen. Elliott is one OF the most popular
and efficient officers in the service. His
promotion was based entirely on merit,
and mainly in recognition of his meri-
torious services during the Spanish
war and the instruction in the Philip
pines.
Anative of Alabama, he was appointed
a second lieutenant in the marine corps
from New York October II, 1870.
When Gen. Elliott was attached to
the Monongahela, of the South Atlantic
station, in 1875, yellow fever broke out
on that vessel while she was lying in
the harbor of Rio de Janeiro. Despite
tho fact that he could have had leave
and gone to the mountains, he Of his own
volition remained with the ship and his
men, and when the assistant surgeon
of the vessel was taken down with fever,
volunteered to assist the surgeon in SO
far as his ability would permit, and he
performed valuable service.
He served with the marine battalion
in the railroad strikes of 1877, and in
1875 served under Gen. Haywood with
the marine battalion on the Isthmus OF
Panama.
