Their evOlutions were watched by a de-
lighted crowd Of $500 persons. They have
also won hon0rs at Fort Erie, Ontario,
and had the distinction of being permitted
10 carry arms from the United States
into Canada, by special dispensatiOn Of

It Is quite possible that they viii visit
Washington at some time in the near
future. Besides the military men, they
travel with a fun pipe band and always
march to the inspiring slogan of It's
strains. The tallest man I'm the company
is feet inches high. They are. indeed,
band of ''brawny Scots.
Hugh NJ. Jones. of Chicago. one Of the
most enthusiastic supporters OF Gen.
Mculton, Of Illinois, called an informal
meeting at the headquarters of the Chi
cago delegation at the Ebbitt House yes
terday morning. The members of the
Eighth Army Corps. all Of whom saw
service in the Philippines with both the
regulars and the volunteers, attended In
a body. The object Of the meeting was
the formation of "a District branch Of the
Society of the Philippines There are
about forty men In Washington who are
eligible for membership Mr.. Jones, on
his return to Chicago. viii take steps 10

The District Mr. Jones came TO Wash

was pleased by the large number OF local
men who RESPONDED.
Among the heroes Of San Juan Hill-who
are attending the encampment Of the
Spanish-Americau War Veterans is Mai
| Frank Keck, of the Seventy-flrst New
York. who. waving his red bandanna
handkerchief about his head led his men
TO victory In that famous charge. At a
crucial moment Of the engagement, when
his voice could not be heard above the
din Of battle Mai keck suddenly Temem-
beFed the handkerchief. 1t was OF the
| brightest red, and at once attracted the
attention Of his men as well as the Span
/ ish sharpshOoters, for whom II at once
I became q target. The men rallied around
him. following the bright bit of color un-
lii they reached the blOCkhOuse. The red
bandanna had led the lighting line to the

PORT THAT LOST MONEY.
Cost Fourteen Hundred Dollars to
Collect SIPS at Beaufort, \. {.


Not many folks can keep on the sunny
side when its all going out and none
coming in. and few people escape fur
roWed brows when year in and year out
the balance is invariably or the wrong
side Of the ledger. However. there is
one person who does not wOrry over
the fact that Ut the close Of every fiscal
year there is always "a big loss. and in
one instance there were no receipts.
while the expenses amounted 20 $1,000.
That individual whose c9unteuance
never loses its smile. even in the face Of
such conditions. is Uncle sam.
or course, Uncle sam has so many
irons in the fire and there are so many
departments where the story Of the
years business is most fattering that
one or two cases Of loss does not bother
him. An interesting instance Is the port
Of Beaufort y. c. where last year the
customs receipts amounted 10 S125, while
the expenses footed up 70 Sl.3l3.53. The
previous fiscal year the expenses were
I.4o1W. and there were no receipts.
Beaufort is the capital Of Beaufort
County. on the Port ROYAL River. about
Gfty-fve miles southwest OF Charleston.
and Is one Of the many little landing
places that arc never heard Of but
which must be kept up. even If it en-
tails q loss TO the government. There
are TWO employees "on the job" at that
port They spend their time watching
for ships that never come There is al
ways great excitement when a vessel
does land. and. of course there is food
for gossip for days Few persons are
aware that Georgetown. d. c. also has
"a port, but il is "a decidedly paying prop
osition. despite the fact that not much
is heard about it.

Oklahoma is doing very nicely thank

WILL HOLD ELECTION TODAY.
Much Interest Is Being Manifested
Now I'm Race for Leadership.

Now I'm Race for Leadership.
The busiest men al the Ebbitt House
this week are not those who are making
The most noise. but the ones who are
saving wood and saying nothing" The
same holds good at the Regent, where
the local encampment committee holds
forth, and where many visiting comrades
are registered.
Interest IN the coming election appears
to be centered entirely upon the office
Of commander-in-chief. now held by Mai
Charles r. Miller. OF Cleveland. It is
generally conceded-wtth one possible ex-
Ception-that Hamilton Ward Of Buffalo,
the New York department candidate. is
the strongest OF the three In the field
who are himself Maj. Frederic s Hodg-
son, of Washington, D. c, and Gen.
William N. Moulton. of Chicago.
Ward Claims victory.
Last night a close friend of Wards
claimed that out of 24O delegates present
in the city at that time, li6 Of them
could be safely counted upon as to be
cast for the Buffalo man. Maj. Megyew,
of Indiana, past COmmandeT-in-Chief.s said
10 a Herald man: Indiana is for Ward. ."
The Hoosler State last night had ten del
egates present who are entitled 10 vote IN
the enCampment, but this Is only half It's
voting strength, and the other ten may
appear later.
Ohio had forty delegates. and il was
said that every one will be present when
the time for voting comes. I have
steadfastly refrained from personal ac-
tivity IN the election" said Commander
ln-Chlef Miller to The Herald reporter
and have no opinion to voice on the sub
jeCt. IL is q matter of record. however
already made known. that Ohio, in its re-
cent department enCampment formally
indorsed the candidacy of Mr.. Ward"
How Votes Are Distributed.
Connecticut has fifteen votes. Masss-
chusetts twenty-five. and Michigan
twenty-three. 1t Is understood that the
first two named are favorable 10 the man
from Buffalo. The Wolverines are doubt
ful. and have not announced their choice.
MAJ. Hodsson however. is In the hands
Of his friends. and has b. 10 meals
