Officers With Muskets.

"A most unusual thing" said the
Sergeant, happened in our company
in West Virginia. There had been a
skirmish in the mountains across the
river from camp and our company was
ordered up the road. We found signs
of the enemy in less than a mile and
finally heard the noise of heavy adj
vancing column The company was
posted to command the mountain road
and the captain with two men went
forward to reconnoiter.- They came,
at a sharp turn of the road, not ten
yards away, face to face with the
enemy's advance guard, and the Cap
tain. who was carrying musket,
blazed away without an instant's
hesitation and killed the officer in
command of the enemy. Thereupon
the rebels threw themselves bodily on
the Captain and his two men and all
were sent to Richmond"

selfpoise and patience both in victory
and defeat. Referring to Lees mo-
tives in entering the service of othe
copfederacy Judge Speer said: 1.-The
TIME seems opPortune for the Amsri-
can people to diSpassionately inquire
whether Robert E. Lee ever merited
the reprobationf eyen Of tlSe most
ardent advocate of our perpetual
union. ITO the constitution as he
understood it, it is demonstrable that
Washington himself was noto moro
devoted than Lee. and hiso written
and spoken words in that day of Jun
governable passion portray in the
clearest light his oirr,movable aversion
to edisunion. Why then, it may be
asked, did Lee draw his sword in
maintenance of secession, which die
declared revolution, which he pro-
nounced anarchy and which he fore
saw and declared wopld infict untold
calamities upon the people. o6The re.
ply is that he did NO such thing. His
purpose is DECLARED in the letter to
his son. IF the union is dissolved and
the government disrupted I shall re
turn to myo native state and share
the miseries of my people and save

counties in the state may he enabled
to isue bonds for the immediate re-
construction of the, bridges across

Gov. Bailey said that there was no
question in his mind that the con-
struction of the bridges in Wyan-
dotte county, and in all the other
counties of Kansas which had been
devastated by floods was absolutely
necessary. ''f have found.'' he said,
that it would cost the state nothing

Union Pacific the Hardest sHit by Flood
of All Railroads Out of Kansas
CRY.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1O.-The
hardest hit of all the roads entering
Kansas City is the Union Pacific. Its
tracle follows the Kaw, Solomon and
Smoky Hill between sEansas City and
Salina, and atsleast as far as Abilene
there were many washouts and oall
bridges are either down or damaged.
Chief Clerk Griffith, of the operating
department, said yesterday the long
est stretch of good track was one
spiece of 20 miles between here and
Salina.s A rough estimate places the
loss on this division at s., 100000.
The Burlington railroad expects to
eenter the union depot by way 0of the
Hannibal bridge in five days. The
damage to the tracks in Clay county
is being rapidly repaired.
The Rock Island had been leaving
Kansas City, Kan, for Denver and
oChicago at $50 p. m, but the diff
Guilty of getting passengers over the
Kaw led to the discontinuance of that
service last night. At ten o'clock
every. evening it's train leaves the
union depot for all points between
Herington, Fort Worth and FL Paso.

London. June 1o.-The approach OF
the first serious parliamentary brush
in the free trade-protection fight
filled every seat in the house of COM
mons. Henry Chaplin NJ. P, former
president of the board of agriculture
and the maleontent unionists were
actively engaged in rallying the sup
porters of Chaplin's amendment to
the budget bill, which declares that
the removal Of tax on grain involves
a needless and injurious disturbance
of trade and serious loss of revenue,
without substantial relief for the
consumer" and that if any taxes ara
removed it should be those levied on
tea and other articles of general con-
sumption. Before the debate opened
Premier Balfour ascertained from
John Redmontp the Irish leader. that
the nationalist members of parlia2
meRt would support the government,
asoagainst Mr.. Chaplin. The liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man. had already announced that his
party would also uphold the proposal
of Chancellor Richie to remit the
grain tax 0This practically insured
the government from possible defeat
at the hands ofoits own supporters.

2 st. Louis, June 1O.-Nery little has
been said about the condition of the
river below here. From st. Louis to
cape Girardeau, a distance of 14O
miles, the Mississippi has attained an
average width of four miles. The
steamer Cape Girafdeau, which has
arrived in st. Louis, brings accounts
OF the immense damage inflicted on
the farmers located in the lowlands
south of here. "The entire wheat
and corn crop in the valley hes been
ruined" said w. r. Wilkinson, a COM
mission merchant in ST. Louis, who
was one of the passengers. II esti-
mate that 100000 acres in corn and
100000 acres in wheat will be lost.
AS we came up the river we saw
sights that amazed us Some houses
were completely submerged. Others
showed only the roofs. We saw many
persons standing on the tops of the
houses. They waved to us for assist
ance, but on account of the uncer-
tain conditions of the river we were
unable to go to them. do not know

but as they have had flood eXpe
riences in the past l dare say they
will be able to tOke case oof them
selves. The damage to houses and
barns and live stock will reach into
the thousands, but the loss in wheat
and corn will be the greatest item in
the disaster. l will venture to say
that 100000 will not cover the
losses on cereals" Mr.. Wilkinson
says that in the bottom lands below
Cape Girardeau the water has
reached an expanse of 40 miles from
