the Twenty-fifth Missouri, who was
killed during the battle of the first day
Three companies of the Twenty fifth
Missouri under Maj. Powell, were sent
out at three o'clock to reconnoiter, and
at 4:33 on Sunday morning they struck
the confederate pickets, and a sharp
fight ensued, which lasted until about
six o'clock. when Woods brigade drove
Powell back, when he was REINFORCED
by four companies of the Sixteenth
Wisconsin that had been on picket near
by, and by five companies of the Twen-
ty-first Missouri, under Col. David
and sent back to camp for the bal
ance of his regiment Capt. SAKE.
of the Sixteenth Wisconsin, was
killed at the first fire, and Col.
Moore was soon after so severely
wounded in the leg that it was ampu-
tated. After his recovery he procured
a wooden leg, returned to the field and
fought with distinction to the end of
tho war; The loss of the Sixteenth
Wisconsin was among the heaviest of
the troops engaged, being 228 killed
and wounded. The Eighteenth Wis
consin, Col. J. S. Alban, killed during
the battle, was also in Prentiss' di-
vision. in the Second brigade. COM
manded by Col. Madison Miller, of the
Eighteenth Missouri. 1t fought from
eight a. m. on Sunday until $3.50 p. m.
Its last stand was with what was left
Of Prentiss' division at the Hornets
Nest" When surrounded and out of
render. The loss of the regiment as
reported was 103 killed and wounded.
In Prentiss' division was the Eigh-
teenth. Twenty-first, Twenty-third and
Twenty-tifth Missouri. The Eighteenth
was commanded by Lieut. Col. l. v.
Pratt, the Twenty-drst by Lieut.. Col,
II. M. Woodward. after Col. Moore was
wounded, the Twenty-third by Col. J.

thus be seen that the troops from Wis

| the two states fought side by side
through those terrible two days where
more than 10000 men we're killed or
| wounded.

A PECULIAR WOUND.
Soldier Whose Bowels Were Torn to
Pieces by Cannon Ball Which
Did Not Touch Him.

speaking of what cannon balls were
capable of doing, while seemingly harm
less," says Dan R. Anderson, in the In
ter Ocean, "brings to memory strange
case of an Ohio soldier at the battle OF
Missionary Ridge, November % or "a,
1868. He was brought to the general
field hospital, Army of the Cumberland,
and was put in a tent near the commits
sary tent, so that could hear him groan
il his agony. His grooming was exces-
sive and something altogether unusual
so much so that it caused me to go to
him. met one of the contract surgeons
coming from the tent and asked him
what was the cause. He said: There's
nothing the matter at all. He is playing
off and am going to send him to his reg
iment.' I went in to the sufferer, asking
him where he was wounded. He said all
he knew about it was that as he was
going up the ridge a shell from rifle
cannon had passed in front Of him, SO
close that it took him off his feet, knock
ing the breath out of him, and that when
he came to his senses he experienced the
that there was no let-up to 1t.
There was no visible discOloratiOn.
His pulse was normal and the only thing
to indicate anything wrong was in his
respiration, which was like that In a
case Of lung fever. l called the doc
tors attention to his way of breathing,
and they all, except the major in charge,
said "Malingerer!' and one of them took
hold of him in no gentle manner and
tried to pull him off the cot, and said
mean things to him. | can see now the
agonized look the poor fellow gave the
doctor, pleading to be let alone that ne
might die, protesting all the time that
he was mortally hurt and he died while
yet the doctor was Juggling at him, and
in the presence of more than dozen per-
sons, one of whom was Mother Bicker-
dixie Was Mother Bickerdike indig-
nant? Well. should say she was! AMI
there were others that were, and there
is one who hasn't got over it yet, and
who spoke his piece at the time. In
honor of Americans | will say that that
assistant contract surgeon was Cana
dian, and, further, that if he will call at
my address, l will give him the best IN
the shop
1.-The soldier was not long dead before
the doctors had him on the amputation
table holding a post-mortem. l was
allowed to be present'and saw one of the
most unique cases on record brought to
light The man had sustained COM
plete disintegration of his small intes
tines-torn all to-pieces- and yet there
was no swelling of the abdomen to in
dictate any such condition. That Cana
dian got his walking papers that day.
The facts in this case can be found in
the official papers of the general field
hospital Army of the Cumberland on
file at Washington, and if this should
meet the eye of any of those present at
the time l would be pleased to hear
from them. The cOmmissary sergeant
of that day is very much alive yet"

Self-Reliance of the JAP

Whether we look to the backwards
which she has built for the making and
repairing of her own feet, to her siren
uous maintenance of her own agricul-
ture and industry or to her self-reliant
retention of the financial responsibility
for her own undertakings, we find re-
vealed the same determination to stand
independent and self-contained. 1t is
patriotism so comprehensive that it
can stoop without loss of dignity to the
consideration of the minutest detail
and it holds the secret of the great fu-
ture which seems to be opening up be-
fore the youngest Of the nations

Friday, Jan. 20.

The statehood bill and the fur seal
indemnity bill again divided the atten-
tion of the senate today, and both went
over without action. Fulton spoke in
support of the indemnity bill, and Nc
Creary and Bate in opposition to the
statehood measure.
Immediately after the senate was
called to order President Pro Tenn Frye
laid before it telegram from the gov
ernor of New Mexico, transmitting a
memorial adopted by the legislature of
that territory protesting against the
union of New Mexico and Arizona in
one state, and urging the admission of
New Mexico as a state according to
present boundaries.
The house passed the army appro-
priation bill. The Indian appropria-
tion bill was considered for the re-
mainder of the day, but was not con-
cluded when the house adjourned until
tomorrow.

Gar Has Been Forced TO Yield
to Grand Dukes.
VLADIMIR and sERGIUS RULE
Rioting and BIoodshed Spread to All
Parts of Empire - Revolution
Under Full Headway.

Libau, Russia, Jan. 24.-The imper-
ial yacht Standard is expected here to-
convey the czar and his family to Co.
penhagen.
Reports from St. Petersburg say that
the actual government is no longer in
the hands of the czar. This statement
is made with deliberation and with a
full knowledge of the days doings.
The grand ducal coterie, always power
full, but until very recently held in
check by the peoples pathetic faith
in the power. of the "Little White;
Father" is in absolute command.
Grand Duke Vladimir commands the
troops, and every order, whether it be
one of leniency or stern repression, is
issued by him. Grand Duke Sergius is.
stated to be in control of the internal
situation.
The utmost secrecy is maintained. as
to the czar's present whereabouts.
Some have him at Tsarskoe-Selo, others
at Peterhoff, still others insist that he
has been at the winter palace right
along. All questions put to men in
authority on that score are met with
the very courteous reply that they
know as little as the interrogator.

DoINes IN CONGRESS.
Tuesday, January IL

In the senate today Hepburn con-
cluded his speech on the joint state
hood bill and Stone gave notice of a
speech tomorrow on his resolution for
an investigation of charges of corrup-
ton in the campaigns of 1895 and
1904. Lodge presented the conference
report on the Philippines bond and
railroad bill, and explained the house
amendments.
Senator Mitchell appeared on the
floor of the senate and defended him
self in regard to the Indictment in con-
nection with the Oregon land frauds.
He called his accusers liars and per-
jurers and will demand an investiga-
ton. Many of his colleagues crowded
around him to welcome him.
Another obstacle has arisen in the
way of the Klamath irrigation project.
Chairman Mondell, of Wyoming, of the
house committee on irrigatiaon is fight
ing the bill. He says he is not in
favor of expending single cent of the
reclamation fund in either California
Or Oregon until both states "pass a
decent set of water laws" He would
take more of the reclamation fund fol
use in his own state regardless o1
amount contributed.

MOSCOW IN TURMOIL.
Workmen Force Closing of All the,
Large Factories.

st. Petersburg, Jan. "a The most
startling feature in the situation to-
night is the news that several factories
in Moscow have closed and that the
workmen in the old capital of Russia
are repeating the tactics of their fellow
workmen of the new capital, marching
from shop to shop and mill to mill, de-
manding that the establishment shut
down. The whole city is reported to,
be in a state of great excitement over
the news of the bloodshed which has
precipitated Immediately the strike
that had been scheduled for Wednes--
day.
The tension, which was somewhat
relaxed during the morning, continued
to increase during the day. Conditions
appeared to be omnious, when, shortly
after dark, the workmen in two electric
light plants walked out, refusing triple
pay to remain, and plunging half the
city into utter darkness, including the
Nevsky Prospect. The water supply
was also cut off, and a veritable panic
ensued.

Sailors at SevastopoI Mutiny in Mass
and Destroy Buildings.

Kfef, Jan. 24.-Details of the burn
ing of the admiralty yards at Sevasto-
pol have arrived here, showing that it
was the result of mutiny of 5000
sailors, such as never before occurred
in Russia.
All Saturday there had been consid-
erable talk all over the city that the
sailors in the Sevastopol barracks had
grown restive and that numerous in
stances of insubordination had oc-
Cured. Shortly after the noon hour
Monday the doors of the barracks were
thrown open and several thousand sail
ors forced their way out into the street.
One squad of mutineers rushed to
the rooms of a captain, who is said to
have been particularly disliked. The
officer was seized and thrown to the
floor. They beat in his skull, and his
face was mangled beyond recognition,
and then they wrecked his rooms and
took every weapon they could find.
Meanwhile, those on the outside had
set fire to the building, which, being
old and mainly constructed of wood,
was burned to the ground.
From there the mutineers rushed
wildly through the streets, setting up
the cry of: ''The revolution has be-

OPPOSED BY MONDELL,
He Will Prevent Passage of Klamath
irrigation Bill if Possible.

Washington, Jan. 25.-An effort will
be made, when the opportunity presents
itself, to secure passage through the
house of a bill recently passed by the
senate permitting the secretary of the
interior to utilize Lower klamath, Tule
and Goose lakes and all tributary waters
in connection with the Klamath or
other irrigation works undertaken under
the national irrigation law. There
will be opposition to this bill in the
house, however, which may be able to
prevent its passage. This was shown by
an adverse report made on the bill by
Chairman Mondell, of the irrigation
committee.
The entire committee, with the ex-
ception of Mondell, is in favor of the
passage of the bill and concur in fav-
orable report made by Representative
Williamson. In his report Williamson
quotes from letter of the director of
the geological survey, urging the pas
sage of the bill. Among other things
the director says:
"The feasibility of the Klamath irri-

standpoint, is beyond question, and ii
is also one of the cheapest projects that
has been found by the reclamation
service.
''The bill is intended to authorize
the secretary of the interior to SO utilize
these lakes as may be necessary for the
best development of the country under
the reclamation act. This would moi
be possible without specific authority
from congress, on account of their navi
gable capacity, which, while insignif
cant in value, is such as to bring then
technically within the direct jurisdic
| tion of congress.

about one-half of which is public lan6
or at the disposition of the public, pre-
sents no physical difficulties Of any i'm
portance. 1t may be stated further
that connected with this possible devel
opment is an opportunity to extend tn,
system to include some 80, 900 acres o
irrigable land in the Klamath India1
reservation at some future time, whe1
these lands may be thrown open to set
