The Journal has for sale, at a great barpain, one of Its two Hoe presses, which have been la use for a number of years In printing the Journal. It Is now being replaced by a large modern, double-supplement Hce press of a capacity commensurate with the growing needs of the paper. The press that 13 for sale tan be bought at a very reasonable figure and is ready for shipment at once. It is In excellent condition and will give years of good service to some newspaper desiring to use a perfecting press. The purchase price will Include a Jtnney motor, direct connected, with which it has been run for the past three years. This is a great improvement over the old system of running a press by belts and la a good saver of power. Correspondence is invited on this subject from any Interested publishers. Notice to Tourists. Subscribers leaving the city for a period during; the summer can have the Dilly and Sunday Journal mailed to any address in the Unltei States or Canada without extra charge. The duress will bt chanced as often a desired. Jioth telephones 233. There can be no effective kicking against & good ticket fairly nominated by Republicans. While the Chinese In the United States are not so numerous as ten years ago, the Japanese have increased twelvefold because there is no law excluding them. The heavy vote which Judge Stubbs polled throughout the city at the Republican primaries and his nomination over two popular young men is a high tribute to the worth of the man. Judge Stubbs must have a machine of his own. One feature of Secretary Root's plan for & rational encampment and war college contemplates bringing the regular army and the state national guards together with a Tiew of developing uniformity of drill and a feellnjr of comradeship between them. It La an excellent idea. It Is not probable that the bolt of the sllverites In Ohio will amount to much as & political movement, but a reiteration of "Mr. Bryan's heresies will give people an cpportunlty to consider the- follies which the Ohio Democracy declared in a body two years ago were the basic principles of the party. The. quality of Democratic harmony is Indicated in the snarl of the Cincinnati Enquirer at the suggestion of the Washington Post that ex-President Cleveland may ay a good word for the Democratic cause In Ohio. This the Enquirer alludes to a.t "throwing the awful shadow of Grover Cleveland across the Ohio campaign." The statement of the Secretary of Agriculture that he does not despair of an average yield of corn In the corn belt, as he defines it, is further proof of the generally hopeful and enthusiastic temperament of that zealous official. Unfortunately, the secretary is In Washington; if he was in a corn State these days he might come to a different conclusion, despite the reports cf his trained agents In ever- corn-producing State. The people of Indiana are fortunate In having the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows here about the middle of September. It will be a representative body of an organization which is strong in every State, and the visitors will be here at a s ason of the year when endurable weather may b- counted on. Indianapolis should promptly assist ia making the welcome of the visitors most cordial and hearty. While other good men on the primary ballot for councilman at large were not nominated, it is safe to say that r.o better men than the lx receiving the largest plurality were presented. The nominees are men of character and have proved their ability by attaining good positions in the lines of bu.srcss in which they are engaged. Most of them were not aspirants, but were induced to allow their name to be put up m ht ballot by thoe who are anxious to have a creditable Council. It Is sometimes interesting to recall dates. The first landing of American troops in Porto Rico was c.vt--.! in the harbor of Guanlca. July 1: jjt three years tgo to-day. Th expedition was under the command of Ma J r 1 r.trul .Nelson A. Mile., und It Included, among other troops. Baltery A, In. liana Artillery. Flghtlrg was ext-eted. Lut Jt did r.ot come. On the contrary, the r.ativts welcomed the Americana and the Spaniards o.fered no effective resistance. Air.erif;;a s-.Miers who participated In that r.r' peaceful invasion, occupation und cir.';i:ft öf a valuable island will have som.thi'tg to talk ibout when they become old xnva. This Is the day fixed for 1-sulr th President's proclamation recognizing the linana'.al liHt-iper.Vnre of I'orto Rico and de-
clarlng absolutely free trade between the island ami the rest of the United State. The proclamation rni.sht have been Issued a few days sooner, but to-day Is appropriately selected because it i? the third anniversary of the landing of American troops in Porto Rico. Hi.tory furnishes no parallel to the Important results accomplished durlrg that period, and they se rn to bo only the foundation and b-gin-nir.g f more important results to follow. Governor Allen, who ha been largely instrumental In bringing about the present condition, say?: "I du i:ot believe that any community anywhere is more favorably situated for the beginning of an administration than Is this island." He pronounces Porto Rico "a gfand asset of the United States," and it certainly look' that way. Tili: SCHLEY COIHT OF 'INQUIRY. The "Washington Pot says the naval court of inquiry In the case of Admiral Schley will be one of the most celebrated in our naval history. It will be the most celebrated, without exception, because of the high rank of the officer implicated, the seriousness of the charge which the court will investigate and the great public interest felt In the care. It will acquire additional celebrity from the high rank of the officers who will compose it. Still another feature of interest is the fact, keenly felt by the public, that the honor of the navy, of which the American people are so justly proud, 1:?, to some extent, involved. This was not the case at the beginning of the controversy, but it has become so by the subsequent course of events. At first it was simply a question raised by injudicious partisans of Admirals Sampson and Schley a3 to which deserved priority of promotion and rank for services at Santiago. At that time there was no charge reflecting nn Admiral Schley's honor or courage. If he had made some mistakes they could easily have been overlooked, and the Navy Department seemed quite widing to do so. Rut the charges made in Maclay's "History of the United States Navy" go far beyond anything expressed or Implied at the beginning of the controversy. When a writer, with access to official records of the Navy Department, charges an admiral with having run away from the enemy, and with being a coward, a cur ami a traitor, there is nothing left for the officer but to demand a court of inquiry. He owes this to the truth of history and to the Nation, as well as to himself. The Journal does not believe that Maclay's charges will be sustained. The language U3ed by him is intemperate and unlit to go Into an alleged history. The force of his charge is weakened by its violence. An investigation may disclose that Admiral Schley did not do the best thing possible at some crisis cf the campaign that his foresight was not always as good as his hindsight perhaps that he lost his head at some critical moment, but that he was guilty of cowardice or did anything to deserve such epithets as "cur" and "traitor" is incredible. American naval officers who have risen to his rank are made of different stuff from that. The violence of the charge will make it easier to repel. Just what facts a court of inquiry may elicit remains to be seen, but they certainly will not sustain the charges in their present form.
PltlMAItV IaLKCTIOX LAW VINDICATED. The experiment under the primary election law on Tuesday must commend itself to all those who believe it to be important to have the voters of a party control its primaries. A much larger number of Republicans went to the primaries and voted on Tuesday than usually attend on such occasions. Moreover, precinct and party lines were carefully observed. No gangs of men went from precinct to precinct to stuff ballot boxes, and no Democrats took a hand to force upon Republicans an objectionable candidate. These are facts which are known to all who took any cognizance of the trial of the law, which marks a new departure and the initiation of a great reform. In twoor three precincts amiable election officers permitted candidates to assist voters In marking ballots, none of whom wire successful, but as a whole the law was observed, and in most precincts the marking of ballots was as free from espionage as if the voting booth had been used. In tbe wards it can be said, where there were contests, that the decision was made by Republicans voting according to law. This could not have been said of many primaries which have occurred heretofore. The primaries of Tuesday also demonstrated that the delegate. In municipal affairs at least, is unnecessary, even if a vocation has Ken destroyed. It is not probable that so generally acceptable a ticket for councilmen at large as that selected on Tuesday could have been made by a convention. The Journal may be too sanguine over Tuesday's experiment when it says it fully believes that It marked the beginning of better methods and of more satisfactory candidates for both parties. It has proved to Republican voters that it is now within the power of a majority to make candidates us well as to elect those made by others. This fact established, primaries will be sure to ! well attended when candidates are to be selected, it can be added that the new method strengthens party rule by the members of the party and by removing the chief cau2 of complaint the dictation of the primary by self-made local loaders. It also tends to confine the influence of the local committees to organization to elect a ticket when nominated by greatly limiting their influence ia the selection cf candidates. SOMi; PLAIN PUINUPLF.S OF LAW. There are indications that the strike of the Amalgamated steel workers is approachlnK a point where violence is to be tea red. It is the history of nearly all the great strikes of recent years that, beginning In comparatively good temper, they gradually develop a retaliatory policy on both sides until resort to violent methods becomes a logical necessity. Thev go as far as they can on peaceable lines and then i.ilopt force. It is also almost Invariably the case that the first resort to violence comes from the strikers. F.mployers sometimes do irritating things and provoke violence by conspicuous preparations to repel it. but they are r.ot generally the first to use it. Preparations to repel violence or to defend one'n own property are not illegal, even though they be conspicuous. In fact, nothing can Justify violence on one side except actual resort to It on the other, and then It Is justifiable only to an extent accessary for self-defense. The Indications of an approaching crisis In the present strike are found in steps which some of the 3teel companies are taking to bring negro laborers from the South and to apply to the courts for a restrain
ing order to stop -trikers from Interfering with nonunion men on the highways. One of these steps is apt to precipitate trouble, and thrt ether shows that the companies expect it. Yet the bringing of nfgro laborers from the South ouqht not to precipitate trouble, for the employers have a clear legal right to do so. It is not a question of race or color. The employers have a riyht to hire white or black laborers wherever they find them and to pay their way, if they choose to. from one State to another. The phrase "importing labor" does not fit the ca.ie. The movement of free labor from one point to another within the United States is not importation of labor. It may be irritating to the strikers and. therefore, perhaps unwise, tut if the employers wish to do it and can find negroes who are willing to come and work for the wages offered, the risht of both to do so is too clear to be questioned, and if the strikers attempt to resist it they will put themselves wholly in the wrong. Men who lay down their Jobs and go on strike have no further connection with establishments where they have been employed, and when they undertake to prevent their operation by other workmen they arrogate to themselves a right they do not possess and put themselves entirely outside the pale of the law. The right of the steel company to emploj white or black labor at its option involves the right to the protection of the law in such employment. The courts will enjoin the doing of anything by strikers in the way of destruction of property, prevention of the operation of mills or forcible interference with the free action of workmen. Such interference may be by words and menaces, by taunts, jeers and threats, as well as by acts. Freedom of speech does not inclutle the right to use speech for the intimidation of others in the exercise of letjal rights. Laws are made for the protection of rights, not for the encouragement of wrongs. There Is no tyranny in government by injunction, which simply restrains men from Interfering with the rights of others. The steel strikers ought to be made to understand theee elementary principles of free government. If they resort to violence to prevent the Introduction of negro laborers or to concerted action in the way of threats to make them quit work, they will bring themselves under the operation of the law.
A bulletin Issued by the Census Rureau gives the population of this State by sex, nativity and color as follows: Males, 1.2n",H; females, 1.231.05S; native, 2.374.341; foreign, 112,121; white, 2,4:S.2; colored, ol,'M). Of this colored 207 are Chinese, 5 Japanese. 243 Indians and the remainder negroes. In each of three States represented In this bulletin there is a slight excess of males over females, the males constituting 51.1 per cent, of the total population in this State, 51.S per cent, of that of Iowa and 52.3 per cent, of that of Kansas. It is somewhat surprising to find that Iowa has only 12.6H3 negro residf nts, but more of a surprise to find that Kansas has 52,000, nearly as many as this State. One result of the war in South Africa is likely to be the abolition of the sword as a weapon or for any except ornamental purposes. A board of expert Iiritish cavalry officers who have considered the subject carefully reports thai the sword is a weapon "practically useless for modern warfare." Quiek-flring guns of long range have rendered them obsolete. They will probably continue to be worn, however, by membcrs of civic organizations that cllns to the warlike paraphernalia of middle-age crusaders. The names of the candidates for councilmen at large were placed upon the ballot in the order in which they were received by Chairman Dogsdon. If the rirrt names on the ballot had an advantage it was due to the fact that they were first filed with him. That the first names were marked Is due to the fact that when the voter received his list he read and approved the first names, and consequently had expended Ms voting capacity before reading the good nams farther down the list. A marked feature of the times In the transportation world Is the rapid increase of trolley road?. It is more noticeable in the Hast than in the West, and the more densely populated the country the more rapid the development of trolley roads. Just what effect it will have on steam railroads and en trade and social life remains to be seen, but it has evidently come to stay. Charles N. F.lliott had no competitor in the primaries for the office of city clerk, not that there are net those who would have liked the position, but because the popularity of Mr. Klliott with the party at large is generally recognized. He will make a clerk. who v. ill know his duties and attend to th?m, which cannot be said of the present Incumbent. FROM HITHER AND YON. For the A a me. Chlcaro Record-IIerah.

E CANVASSED A TOTAL OF ll,t!7 CAST THAT WKUK COLXTLD. It In Thought that ot .More Than One Vote to the Precinct Wnsj Thro vii Out. M'GREGOR CARRIED TWO WARDS UK HAD SMALL MAJORITIES IX THE MXTH AND FIF'iEKVni. The Vote for Charles S. Elliott for City Clerk Taltles Showing tbe Vole Iiy WurtU. The Republican election commissioners put in the greater part of the day yesterday in canvassing the primary returns, and it was not until t o'clock in the evening that Chairman Logsdon was enabled to announce the oificial vote. The returns from the 1?5 precincts of the city show that there were 11.U7 votes cast at the polls on Tuesday, exclusive of the votes which were thrown out because they were mismarked. It is impossible to say just how many voters marked their tickets Incorrectly, but it is thought It would average about one to every precinct, which would make the total vote about 11, 2. This is considered a remarkable turnout of tha voters, and Republican leaders feel deeply gratified at the interest shown. The official vote gives Mr. Rookwalter a total of 7,211, or a majority ovtr Mr. McGregor of 3.375, McGregor having received but S.SSti votes. . It was thought on Tuesday night that Rookwalter had carried every ward in the city, but the official count disclos-es the fact that McGregor carried the Ninth ward by a majority of 13 votes and the Fifteenth ward by a majority of 23 votes. In most all of the wards on the South Side McGregor ran his opponent a very close rac?, but on the North Side Bookwalter received large majorities in nearly every ward, notably the Third. In which he received 1,013 votes to McGregor s 311, the Fourth, in which he obtained 811 votes as against McG:egor"s Iii. and the First ward, where he received iS majority. THE VOTE FOR ELLIOTT. Charles N. Elliott who had no opposition in his candidacy for the nomination for city clerk, secured S.846 votes, running 2,ol votes behind the total number of votes cast. This decrease in Mr. Elliott's vote is accounted for by the fact that many did not vote for him because they knew he would be nominated any how and there v. as, therefore, no reason for placing the mark in frcnt of his name. Probably the greatest surprise to those who hud been keeping an ey,e on the different ftjhts of the various candidates was the nomination of George YV. Stubbs for police Judge. The frtenos of Collins and the great majority of those who were Intiifferent about the selection of a candidate were firmly impressed with the idea thit Collins was a sure winner. The official vote, however, gives Judge Stubbs a majority of twenty-seven votes over both Collins and Heimes, and a plurality of 7S votes. StuDbs received, 5.0xl, Collins i.Kö and Holmes b61. Junge Stubbs got his heaviest vote in the Second, Seventh, Fourteenth and Fifteenth wares. Collins carried but two wards in the city, the Eighth and the Thirteenth. The vote in several of the other wards, however, was very close. With one exception the six candidates at the head of . the ticket., tor councilmen-at-lrge, were nominated by a vote ranging from S.DW to 5,1X)0. The exception was Rrlce 1. Rrowr., who was a few hundred votes behind the other live men and was beaten by Edward G. Sourbler. Those who received the nomination were iiarohl C. Mtgrew, 5.275; John L. McFarland, 5.1G."; J. S. Holliday, -1.763; Harry M. Hf.lderman, :;,cdH; Lr:".vis W. Cooper, 4,571; Edward G. Sourbier, 4.2S7. IN THE WARDS. The final returns show that Councilman Xegley was renominated in the First ward by a plurality of 341 votes. Negiey received 613. Renn 274 and Hayes 103 of tho votey cast in the ward. In the Second ward Bllllngslcy was nominated by a plurality of L71 votes, having received 613 votes, as against McGuiT's 3"3 votes. Webster, who was also a candidate for nomination in the Second ward, received C4 votes. The warm fight between Crall and Rristor in the Third ward resulted in Crall's nomination by a majority of Vtfl votes. In the Fovrth ward Eppert received G2a votes and lavis Si, securing Kpperfs nomination by a majority of 31: vote.-;. Rhodes won in the Sixth ward by a pi -iraiity of 125 votes. The oificial count for thi ward gives Rhodes i;3. Mcpherson 23d, laller and Jiula l'S. In the Seventh ward Wynne's official plurality was 21. Of the votes cast in the ward Wynne received 54a, Linus ol'4, Cohen id.

Ronrd of "Work Will Repair the Old One iit a Cot of $:I.OOO New Electric Light. There will not be a new bridge built over White river at West Washington street for at least three or four years, as the Heard of Works had specllications prorcred yesterday for the repairing of the old bridge. The board entertained hopes for many months cf building a new bridge at West Washington street and had City Engineer Jeup prepare specifications for a new structure, but ex-City Controller Johnson's statement that there was no monty, followed by Controller Dunn's statement that the city is now within sight of its constitutional debt limit shattered the hopes of the board for a new bridge. The specifications submitted to the board yesterday provide for the straightening of the bridge, stlffeners for the trusses, for placing between the present lloor beams nine "I" beams weighing twenty-rive pounds per lineal foot, joist and flooring, tightening all tension rods and replacing detective rods with new ones. It is estimated that tne work will cost in the neighborhood of jJ3,U0. . . CITY SEEDS MONEY BADLY". Council Will Sot Cirant Lonns, Except for Specific Rcanonn. City Controller Dunn is greatly exercised over the problem of paying the July bills for running the city government. At the la.st regular meeting of the City Council he sent a request to that body settins out the amount of temporary loans he desired the Council to authorize to meet the bill for July, August and September. The Council does not meet again until Aug. 5. and Mr. Dunn desires a special meeting called to tak- up the request for the temporary loan to pay July bills. The amount asked for July is $3,a10. .Mr. Dunn says that the city will have to default in the payment of part of the July riiis if the Council does not act before the next meeting, the tirst Monday night in August. The members of the finance- committer of the Council say they will take no actijn on the request for temporary loans until it is set out just how much money is needed for the various departments. It looks now as if the Council will take no action on the controller's request until the iiext regular meeting. o SIXTY ELECTRIC LIGHTS. That Sninher W III Re Added to Treent Quota Within Two Monthn.

HEAT FELT IN CAMP
LIEUT. RAYMOND P. VAX CAMP SLKiHTLY OVERCOME. Private McGee Selr.ed vIth au Attack of Appendicitis, from Which He Suffered Greatly. GOVERNOR TALKS TO SOLDIERS HE WAMS THEM TO ATT EM) THE 31 OS L" 31 EST DHDICATIOX. Mn. Harbin Visits the Cnmp for the First Time-More Visitor Thau Usual. Heat once more became a factor to be reckoned with in the National Guard camp yesterday. It was the consensus of opinion that Monday's record was broken. The reason assigned for this was that the breeze which tended to moderate the terrific heat of Monday was lacking yesterday, and in its place was a large quantity of humidity that made the heat seem worse thin perhaps it really was. General McKee realized early In ihe day that it would be dangerous for the troops to go through with the full amount of dtill on the open fieid, and accordingly wired instructions to the various commiiiders 10 conduct drills in shaded places in regimental quarters. General McKee's telegraphic oruer was: "Utilize regimental drill hour in instruction in shade, as sun is deemed too hot for drill in the open field." A great deal of time was spent yesterday in giving the men instruction in sighting and position practice, preparatory to target work, which will be taken up tomorrow. The heat yesterday caused fewer cases of lllnesb than were expected. The Third Regiment hospital led with four cases. Private Smith, of Company F, South Bend, was taken with a severe case of cramps while performing guard duty at brigade headquarters about 8 o'clock In the morning. Smith was on duty Tuesday night un til midnight, being stationed near the sa- : loon at the south entrance to the fair grounds, and it was thought that he had performed too much service. His illness was more obstinate than that of any other patient in the hospital. At a late hour Smith was In great piin, although neither Major Harnett nor any of his assistants was of opinion that the man's condition was btnous. The three other cases were very mild heat prostrations. LIEUT. VAN CAMP'S CASE. Lieutenant Raymond V. Van Camp, adjutant of the artillery battalion, felt a slight dizziness whiie sitting near the headquarters of the battalion yesterday forenoon and proceeded immediately to the hospital, where he was given prompt attention, no was almost entirely recovered yesterday afternoon, but on the advice of the surgeons did not undertake to go out with the battalion at evening parade, his place being taken by Lieutenant Swan, of Battery A. The battalion parade was held in quarters on account of the heat. The most serious case of illness was in the hospital of the First Regiment. Here Private Ren McGee, of Company H, lies suffering all the excruciating agony that accomapies an acute attack of appendicitis. McGee sustained a fall yesterday morning, and immediately afterwards was seized with the premonitory symptoms of appendicitis. In the absence of Major Hawkins, chief surgeon of the First, Captain George Gi'thrie was in charge of ihe hospital, but declined to express an opinion as to what disposition will be made of McGee's case. Capt. Guthrie and Steward Laidacker said it was their unofficial opinion that the patient will be removed to the Indianapolis City Hospital to-day to be operated on for removal of his trouble. At brigade hospital yesterday there were only tvo patients, both of whom were convalescents. In the evening when the three infantry regiments went through regimental parade on the open held a detachment of four squads of the brigade hospital corps was on the ground, but picked up oniy one man. This man was a memln-r of the Third Regiment who was removed to the hospital of that reglmnt. Steward Sommer and Boatman, in charge of the hospital detachment, said the case was one of only slight heat prostration. For actual work that produced tangible results, yesterday was the best day of the camp thus far. Capt. Carr, inspector of small arms practice on Oeneral McKee'H steff, said that the sighting and practice drills of yesterday wore carried through in far better style than had been anticipated, lie was highly gratified with the result of the day's work. GOVERNOR TALKS TO MEN. A great deal of attention was paid to the schools of instruction for commissioned and noncommissioned officers yesterday. Governor Purbln wa3 present at a number of these schools and delivered brief addresses. In his talks the Governor called particular attention to the dedication of the soldiers' ami sailors monument next October. He said that the national encampment of Odd Fellows and the fall carnival had drained the citizens of Indianapolis to the extent of about J40.. or $50,o0. and that It would be a diilicuit matter to raise money enough to provide Adequate ceremonies for the monument dedication. The Governor then requested the orflcers of the National Guard to bring this matter to the attention of the men and ask them whether they will not be willing to come to Indianapolis on the occasion of the dedication and waive their per Hera. The chief executive said he understood full well that the guard cannot be bi ought to lndinapolis without bring paid their ptr diem, but he hoped they could see their way clear to waiving this amount and thus remove a greut burden from the minds of the executive committee having in charge the dedication of th- monument. The Governor spent the ent're forenoon in camp yesterday and made a complete inspection of the infantry rcglrnfnts and of the artillery battalion. He also witnessed the ceremony of guard mount. One of the principal events of the day waa the arrival of Mrs. Durbin in camp ycuerdav evening for the first time incit was formally opened. The presence cf the wife of the State's chief executive was made much of, and at mss, which did not occur until $ in the evening. Brigadier General McKee and Mr?. McKee. Coloncl McCoy of the First. Colonel Smish of the Second. Lieutenant Colonel Bowman of the Third and Major Schanz of the artillery battalion, were the quests of the Governor. Adjutant General and Mrs. Ward. Colonel Wilson and Maj. Fletcher Durtin were also the Governor's guests. SALUTE FOR GOVERNOR. After evening mess General McKee brought to the attention of Governor Durbin the fact that it is the deflre of the guard that when the chief executive arrives in camp this afternoon the customary salute of seventeen guns be fired in his honor. The Governor was pleased at the suggestion, and when asked what time the salute should be fired said he guessed it had better not be fired at all. as it would waste powder and frighten horses. The salute will, however, be rlred this afternoon. An interesting fact staled by General McKee is that the Governor of a Stale, when within the borders of his State, is saluted with a volley of seventeen guns, but when outride the number is reduced to fourteen. When General McKee slated this fact Covernor Durbin retorted with a sly twinkle In ids eyes. "I guess we had better remain in Indiana then." PreparatI ns are about completed for the adequate cekbratlon of to-day in camp, which, as previously announced, is "Governor' t day." Thirty members of Governor Durbin's taff had arrived laet niht and 1nn.1rv JJeiretnrv W!I.on rteelnr-il tln.t .1. ....... J - - - - - - . . H . . enough more will arrive this motning to swell the numb r to at leant forty, so that when Governor Harbin reviews the entire guard at :15 this evening he will present u truly splendid appearance, attended by forty fr.cn wearing full "regimentals" and mounted on prancir.g steeds. General McHee and hU staff will also be decked out
wlih becorr.ng gorgeousr.et. and the event is ex jvc ted to be sufficiently dazzling to satisfy the most critical of pectators. VISITORS IN CAMP. More people visited the camp yesterday than on any previous day. and this was remarkable la view of the ir.tenie heat that prevailed ulmot throughout the day. Interest In the camp cf instruction 1? reaching a high point, but to-day the climax it expected to l reached. It was stated At brigade headquarters yesterday that the expectation is that "Govtrror" day" will draw the largest crowd that ever attended an annual encampment cf the It. liana Natloi al tiuard. Yesterday's visitors were treated to a magnificent spectae'e at f. In the evening, when all three of the Infantry regimenwent through with regimental parade on the open tield in the rate-track lncl...;jre. The parade lasted an unusually lorg time, and it was a common remark arnor: the hundreds of spectators of the b event that they "certainly hüd their money'- vorth." The troops ehowed plainly that they had received plenty of ethebnt drill and had availed themselves of it tu the utmost. The Seccnd Regiment varied Its diurnal programme somen hat yesterday by having regimental drill In the evening niter me.3 and just prior to regimental parade, ejeneral McKee latitatcl somewhat about giving permis.-lon for this variance fioni custom, but rtnallv pureed to it on condition that Colonel Smith make the drill ry short, because of the excessive he.t on lha held. Severcl men from the brigade hospital corps accompanied the Second to tho field, but their services were not required. The men of this regiment sc m utterly impervious to the swn's fiercest rays. Incidents of the Camp. The band of the artillery battalion will serenade Governor Durbin In his tent tonight at 7:30 o'clock. xxx Major Hawkins, chief surgeon of the First Regiment, wis called to Grecncast!? yesterday morning to look after his patients there.

Robison, of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, vlsieed the camp ytsterd.ty and were treated like princes bee.-use of the board's generosity in tendering lh use of the fair giotinds for the camp of instruction free of charge. xxx The men detailed from the Second Regiment to act as a firing sjuad at tne Stevens funeral thfs morning will not march to Crown Hill from the camp at the fair grounds. Colonel Smith sr;id yesterday that he was not going to take any chances with the men. but would pay tluir Mrcetcar fare out of his own pocket rather than have them march to the cemetery. xxx Lieut. Col. E. P. Thayer, who oadjets the summary court of the Second Regiment, had two offenders before him yoterdiy morning charged with drunkenness. "1 lowdrunk were you?" h iiskcd the men. "Not very drunk. ' they replied. "We only had twelve glasses of beer. The bartender said .e could have six glasses for a nuarter, so we decided to take twelve." "Oh. ho!" responded Colonel Thayer, "they cut the price of syndicate beer for you. did they? Well. I will try to restore the balance. It will coft you Just ten cents a glass a dollr and twenty cents altogether.". xxx Chaplain Carter, of the Second Regiment, enjoys the distinction of possessing the only horse In camp that is suillcicntiy educated to salute the national colors. The chaplain reported to his regiment fur the first time Tuesday morning and that evening rode out with the regiment on the drill field, mounted on a horse that was originally intended for the use of Juartermastcr eieneral Foster, but which for some reason was not used by him and was thereupon assigned to Captain Carter. When the regiment got around in a position facing the colors that lly above brigade headquarters. Ciiaplain Carter's animal sudoenly ducked its head, kicked up its rear feet and darted off at a mad pace around the field. When the animal was linaiiy stopped he added a' final touch ef Interest to the proceedings by administering a vicious kick to the horse that was standing next to him. s x X X Richard Lieber told a story In fnr.t of Colonel Smith's headquarters yesterday afternoon that provoked so much and t-ucu hilarious merriment that General McKee sent over from headquarters to tlri'l out what was the matter. "A couple of fellows were up before -the police judge in Indianapolis one time." said Mr. Lieber, "on charges of drunkenness. One of our wagon drivers, who the 'boys' around the brewery nicknamed 'Baby,' whs an expert witness on the question cf how mum beer it takes to make a man drunk. He told the Jiji;e that as driver of a b-er wagon be visited twenty cr thirty saloons every morning before breakfast and th na'.'ne of bis business required him to drink to or three glasses ef beer at ach place.

" xx x When a case of measles was discovered in the Third Regiment, Tuesday morring. Lieutenant Colonel Wright eaft about at once for something that would srre 3 a quarantine flag. He wanted a piece of cloth of yellowish hue and his eyes happened to fall on the khaki uniform worn by Lieut. I). I. MeCormkk, late of the Forty-fifth United States Volunteer infantry, now of General McKee's staff. This uniform was once of the customary brown shade, but repeated washings a: id exposures to the bleaching influence of tbe summer sun have cauäed it to turn a bright y How in color. "Let me ha.e tiiat uniform of youis, lk-utenant," cried Colone 1 Wright to Lieutenant McCormick, with a oever assumption of seriousness, "I want to make a quarantine fhig out of it."
