His letter announcing the iec. was the entire contents of an extra" issued by his paper, Tho Springfield Chronicle, yesterday: The Louisville Courier Journal could do no more for Col.

 Colonel Bacon hasn't the same affec- ton for Paris as has Colonel Watterson for ne says of that city: We shall probably not write you again from this side. for besides being terribly hurried and wildly excited. our feeble pen will shrink from undertaking gay Paree." Yes, indeed. Paris will be too much fir us. Good bye."
 The Colonel appears to have had only one spell of homesickness and that was at concert at the fashionable Rhumcs- Halle Thai at which he only had to pay the equivalent of 50 cents for music that $10 could not have bought in America.
 The incident which produced home sickness is thus nari ated by him: "On the program we noticed 2 number nam ed "Neger Melodien"-Negro Melodies. We did not give 1t . second thought, but when 1t began. tho first air was Way Down Upon ds swanee Ribber, followed by My Old Kentucky Home. "Oid Blind Joe.'

Then we broke down. Ham Bone." as the boys say, got us." We leaned back. cov- cred our eyes with both hands, to shut out the 30.000 people around us. and piain1y saw and heard our beloved friend.

After tue Neg ger Melodien," the orchestra played many fine things, but we had become excited and unhappy and longing. Ham Bone" and Dixie had complete ly upset us. and we crept back to the Hotel Ober- -Ammergan in . much more subdued frame of mind than usual" But he will be at homo soon and no one can blame the people of Edgefield for wanting to strain him to their hos r.. ems.

signaling has received unusual attention.
Post telephone systems and rifle ranges are
as fully installed as appropriations permit
It's wireless telegraph service challenges
comparison. The many submarine cables
are in excellent working order, except one,
where expensive repair material Is lacking.
Its electrical hre-control system for coast
defenses is deemed superior to that of any
other nation.
las to readiness for campaigning. IT is to
be said that at an hours notice the Signal
Corps can furnish field trains capable of in
staliing and operating buzzer, telegraph
and telephone lines to the extent of LOCO
miles, under conditions which will insure
constant and reliable intercommunicatio
between any moving trOops-artillery, in
fantry or cavalry.
Suitable supplementary service by visual
signals is also available, and the portable
wireless system is being perfected.
Special attention has been paid to the
rapid development of lines of Information
as installed and operated In the military
maneuvers of Europe. during the South Az
rican contest and In the Russo-Japanese
war. Careful studies of foreign methods
have shown deficiencies in the American
