TOUCH OF FROST
Troops Slept in the Open and
Were Chilled.
HARD DAYS WORK GIVEN
General Bell Found That His
Tactics Were Known.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 25.-The members
of General Berry's command, comprising
the Second, Twelfth and Twenty first
regular infantry, the First and Second
Kansas infantry and the Tenth and
Eighth cavalry. had a sharp taste of the
night. They marched out into the morn
ing and bivouacked in the open for the
maneuvers of today and sleeping last
night in the open was very chilly prop
osition There was no wind but the tenn
perature was low and everything this
beautiful marning was covered with
heavy frost. 1t took the men fully an
hour to get the numbness out of their
bodies after rolling out of their blan-
kets The exercises today were the most
ambitious of the entire series, and in re-
spect to the distance involved. it was
fully up TO any usual days work in time
of actual warfare. General Barry's
force was supposed to be advancing from
the south and General Bells army, much
smaller in number, was out 10 make a
reconnaissance in force. General Barry,
learning of this, promptly advanced to
attack General Bell and the result was
what the military critics term "a con-
tact of all opposing forms of all arms"
General Bell in this action labored I'M
der the disadvantage of having all his
plans known to the opposing command
er. Two days ago both General Bell
and General Barry supposed that they
would be on the same side of the problem
and General Bell. in making an inspection
of the ground over which they were to
operate took General Barry with him
and discussed his plans, fully explaining
what he intended TO do with the enemy
When the two generals returned to their
quarters they found Il surprise in the

In railroad circles yesterday the passing
of control Of the Seaboard Air Line to
Rock Island Frisco-Mexican Central inter-
ests received favorable comment. Before

made the proposition received the approval

interests in the Southern railway.
Although neither the Southern nor the
Atlantic Coast Line is in any way identi-
fed with the deal. assurances have been
received by them that the new interests In
the Seaboard wish to further the harmony
of railroad interests in the south. Pledges
have been given that rates will be main
tanned and that no effort will be made to
disturb the present situation.
In view of these facts. interests identified

out that the Seaboard had been q constant

she stopped, and dropping his first prize

upon the amazed commander, as though
