The most sensational news of the
day was contained in the announce

members of the council of the empire,
from which list White is conspicuous

able but the omission of the former
premier's name would seem to indi-
cate either an open slight on the
part Of the emperor or determination
on Whites part to withdraw altogeth-

became known as White Beaver in
1879. when he cured the daughter Of

Madison. Nav 10


In the event that the $700, 900 ap-
preparation for joint military encamp-
ments remains in the army bill until
President Roosevelt affixes mis- APPROX
ing signature the second regiment of
the Wisconsin national guard will be
selected to represent this state in the
encampment near Indianapolis. Indf-
ana. Aljutant General c. R. Board
man said yesterday that he had re-
ceived from the war department an
invitation to send a portion of the
Wisconsin guard to the proposed en-
campment, and he answered notifying
the war department of the desire Of
the Wisconsin officers to send the
second Wisconsin regiment in accord
ance with the invitation The Wis
consin troops will go for ten days,
from September 10 to 10, inclusive.
All arrangements are conditional upon
the enactment of the necessary appro-
priation by congress, but as little APP
prehension is apparently felt by the
war department regarding the appro-
priation of 100000 for this purpose,
it was deemed wise to start the plans
as early as possible.
Valuable Military Training.
In 1902 the first joint encampment
of regular army troops with state
militia was held at Fort Riley, Kansas.
The thing was much in the nature OF
an experiment at that time, but it
proved so satisfactory that it was
continued the two following years. In
1903 joint encampments were held at
West Point KY, am in California,
the first Wisconsin regiment partici-
pating at west Point in the Kentucky
maneuvers. In 1904 joint maneuvers
were held at Manassas, Va the field OF
the battle of Bull Run, and in Oregon
in the west. The Wisconsin troops
were not then represented.
These joint maneuvers were SO
valuable as training for the regulars
and the state soldiers that they were
held upon large scale and the ex-
penses became so great as to exhaust
the available appropriation, so that
with which to hold an encampment.
1t is to make provision so that these
maneuvers, which have been found
highly beneficial to the nations sol.
diers, may be continued that the
100000 appropriation was placed in
the army bill. At the joint encamp-
ments large movements and drills are
given the men, such as they are I'M
able to gel in the small Isolated bodies
or in the state encampments The
benefit is as great for the regular fed
eral troops as for the state militia:
IL is higher military training for both.
Adjutant General Boardman selected
the second regiment this time because
the first had been with the regulars

Washington, May 10.-The senate

again in consideration of the question

there was at no time as much confu-

by Senator La Toilette was voted
down by practically a party vote, all
