a serious accident Yesterday morning
in the garrison. Silver was on duty
rs an ORDERLY and engaged in bring
ing an officers mount from the detach-
rnent's stables to the officers line
preparatory to the review and inspec-
ton. Riding his own horse and lead
ing the extra horse along the road
near the pumping station Silver found
that the curb on his own mount had
become detached and that his animal
was entirely out of hand. Before the
soldier could get control the horse
broke into a run Silver was handi-
capned by the led horse taking part
in the general stampede and when the
top of the hin was reached and the
smooth asphalt pavement encountered
the horses were at top speed, and in
attemDting to make the sharp turn on
the slippery footing both animals went
down and Silver fell underneath his
mounts shoulder with the unfortunate
result of badly bruised leg and DOS
sibly broken bones of the right foot

one more large draft will fill the va

from the promotion committees stand
point the 343 expected arrivals will
make a most respectable addition to

Colonel Mcdonald, INSPECTOR general
completed the inspection of the I'd
Infantry yesterday afternoon and is
today engaged in inspecting the per-
sonnet and equipment of Field Com
pany Z, signal CORDS, commanded by
Capt. George s. Gibbs, and later Com
nanv I, 3 Battalion of Engineers. Capt.
w. T. Hannum Upon completion of
that dutv the inspector will view the
worn and deteriorated property that
has accumulated at the post since the
last visit of an officer of the inspec.
tor-general's department. There will
be presented to the inspector large
amount of tentage that has been worn
and otherwise damaged while in use
nv the troops. The major portion of
this canvas comes from the camp of
the I'd battalion Of the I'd Infantry
where IL has been in constant use for
over IA months. The money value of
the tentage that will be acted on by
Colonel Mcdonald will aggregate ap-
proximately $4,000. and the main part
of the amount stated comes from the
plan made necessary by the emergen
CIV that existed of housing troons at
this station when no barrack facilities
were in existence. Inasmuch as the
lumber and material for the construc
ton of the cantonment now nearing
completion totalled but about $25.000,
1T is plain that the plan of quarter
ing troops under canvas is far re-
moved from the most economical
method. However. as stated above,
the emergency existed. and funds for
temporary buildings were not avail
able and none was to be had until
further appropriations could be esti-
mated for and granted by CONGRESS-.
The same condition prevailed at
Schofield Barracks so that the Shafter

the large amount of canvas involved

SLEEPING CAR PILGRIMS.

Until few years ago the trip from
Damascus to the Moslem holy city of
Medina was a journey of thirty-five
to forty days duration With the con-
struction of the Hedjaz railway the
journey has been reduced to fifty
eight hours writes Consul Edelman
of Jerusalem "As il is enjoined up
on Moslem pilgrims to visit at least
once in their lives the cities OF Medina
and Mecca, the route now in use is
the Hedjaz line to Medina, return the
same way, then embark at Haifa or
Beirut for Jedda on the Red sea- the
nearest port to Mecca. The admins
tration of the Hedjaz railway has en-
tered into a contract with the Khediv-
ial mail line steamers to have ships
in waiting at Beirut and Haifa for the
trains from Medina. Immediate en-
barkation is possible and pilgrims lose
no time in their journey.
1T Is the ambition of the Ottoman
government to extend the Hedjaz rail-
way to Mecca, thus entirely eliminat-
tance from Medina to Mecca Is twelve
days by camel through an arid desert,
and pilgrims, as a rule, prefer to re-
turn north and reach Mecca by the
sea route. Until last year only first
and third class cars were in use, but
lately second class cars have been in
troduced and commodious sleeping
cars have been added for the benefit
Of first class passengers. For this ac-
commodation an additional charge of
$40 is added to the price Of the frs
class tickets
Fresh water Is carried on all cars.
Trains make five stops daily for a
sufficient length of time TO enable

votions. Nom Moslems are allowed to
travel only a part Of the way; en-

DISFRANCHISEMENT

Roland F. Krebs. lumber dealer,
brings this story from the south:
There was hot local campaign on
in a Mississippi town where the ne
groes numbered five to one against
the whites. The democrats put
through rule requiring each voter
to show a poll tax receipt for 81. The
republicans Immediately paid the poll
tax for every negro voter in the COM
munity. The democrats sent a hur-
ry-up call for the county chairman
and dolefully put the situation before
him.
The county chairman learned that
there Were two circuses, one showing
10 miles away and the other in closer
proximity to the scene of the cam
paign. He brought both shows to
town the day before election and plas-
tered the town with posters announc-
ing that poll-tax receipts would be ta-
ken for admission to either circus.
The next day the circuses had all
the poll tax receipts and the demo-
cratic victory was easy.

the following very sensible comment:
sixteen years ago the American
people were shrieked into war which
they entered with no realization what
ever of the consequences. They are
not likely to be shrieked into another
war. AS Frederick the Great used to
say of himself. THE scalded cat breads
even the cold water" and there is
little disposition in this country to
create a new Philippine problem
south of the Rio Grande. Senator
hGrah may run up the flag and keep
it flying over Mexico forever. but the
annexation of 100000 Indians ami
half-breeds is not prospect that ap-
oeals eloquently to the common sense
of the average American.
IF we are driven into Mexico it
will be a police job. not a war of con-
quest or annexation. The United
states, in the interest of civilization.
has established and maintained a re-
publican government in Cuba. II ne
cessary it can do as much for Mexico.
however much Americans would pre-
fer that Mexico do il for herself To-
lice duty is seldom pleasant. although
IL is often necessary. 1t is neither to
lie invited nor shirked, but it is moth.
ing to inspire a hysterical outburst of
misdirected patriotism.
There could be nothing very hero

crushed the natives and after short
