"There is but one standard for soldiers, whether they be regulars or volunteers, nd that is excellence." This remark of Col. Arthur Wagner, chief of umpires at Camp Young-, and one of the most broadg aged ofhVers in the service. Is the essence of the spirit of the off cers in authority at the camp. One thing is striven for In the troops, one thing is pounded excellence and that covers a multitude of virtues. The significance of Colonel Wagner s expression struck the officers attending the school of instruction with especial force after they heard him flay two regular trcop commanders for carelessness in offensive work against militia regiments. More significant still It became when Colonel Wagner made it clear that the old cays of regular army people regarding the guardsmen with amused tolerarfce are over. Now the regulars have a task set for them by Cncle Samuel, the task of assisting to bring the militia forces up to that required standard excellence. If they fail to preserve that standard themselves, their usefulness becomes negative; they must stand the same fire of rebuke and criticism with which they were accustomed to amuse themselves st the expense of the volunteer soldiery. The mere fact that they draw government pay year in and year out, Westpolnter and enlisted man, will not save them. These inferences, so plainly to be drawn from Colonel Wagner" s criticism of yesterday's action were so patent that they gave the regular army officers something to think about and the militia commanders the keenest pleasure. In the assembly tnt several hundred officers gathered to hear Saturday's problem discussed in detail. The umpires' reports epitomised hi Colonel Wagner's report, covered the entire engagement. The most notable feature undoubtedly was the unstinted praise given the Indiana troops and the ha'sh. though undoubtedly deserved, censu;-e poured on th head of the Michigan First Regiment. These forces participated in the advance guard work on Saturday with other State troops. They were especially mentioned because of Hoosier excellence and Wolverine incapacity. The other State forces. Ohio and Kentucky, were apparently In the judgment of the chief umpire, on a dead level of mediocrity. SWEET HUnC FOR HOOSIERS. To say that the chief umpire's praise of the Indiana rcgimeuts was music in the ears of the commanding officer and his men Is a colorless way of putting it. This commendation, raising them above hundreds of other State military officers in Camp Young, has made them the happiest men between two oceans. 'oloocl Wagner's warmest words of praise were for the Third Regiment, commanded in the absence of Colonel Studebaker by Lieutenant Colonel Bowman. For quickness cf movement, intelligence in executing orders, rapidity In comprehending wholly unexpected difficulties, good training and taking advantage of cover the regiment was especially commended. This tribute is especially pleasing to Lieutenant Colonel Bowrran and his friends because of his somewhat difficult position of commanding the regiment in the absence of his aenior officer Had censure been his portion, no matter how Olid, it would have been felt keenly. Since praise is his share his pleasure is all the more heightened. Th First Indiana, Colonel McCoy's regiment, having exactly the same problem. penetration of an enemy's country as an advance guard, received commendation only slightly less. Like the Third, this organisation was alluded to aa especially well drilled and handled, moving intelligently and expeditiously. The S-cm 1 Regiment. Col. Harry B. Smith's was mentioned highly by the chief umpire for precision In executing orders, rapid movement and effet tlve work in outpost duty. These. With the First Wisconsin, a crack regiment officered by men appointed by the government, were the only ones singled out for special praise. MICHIGAN MEN ROASTED. Is it any wonder that Indiana soldier hoys are drunk with glory. The point of all this is that It is official commendation heavily underscored. It will be as effective aa If the War Department published gn order containing the same thing. It has raised Indiana many steps on the ladder of State Guard excellence. But the luckless Michigandcrs fared in no suh wis. Colonel Wagner's rich vocabulary was taxed to express his disapproval of a color.el who would so disregard a sar army order as to permit his men to march without a single round of ammunition straight into the heart of an enemy's country. Col. C. W. Harrah. of the First Michigan, had to take a bitter dose. The Michigan men were roasted for falling to take advantage of cover and for standing in the middle- of the road to be slaughtered, metaphorically speaking, like sheep He pointed out that they went at their work in most unforgivable levity, taking the whole thing s a sort of picnic. He mentioned a Michlgsn lieutenant by name, an officer who stopped in t e midst of a heavy cavalry fire to loot an apple tree and munch its fruit in the road.

Locomotive Damaged by an Exploaion and the Track Badly Torn I p No Trace of Blackmailera. HELENA, Mont.. Oct. 6.-The Northern Pacific suffered again last night from the work of the dynamiters. At 10:30 p. m., when an extra westbound freight was three miles west of Bird's Eye. a station three miles west of Helena, an explosion occurred. As a result of it a portion of the tracks was blown out, the pilot of the engine was blown off and so was the hcnllight. Fortunately the engineer was able to stop the train quickly and thus prevented its being ditched. No one was hurt, but the roadbed was torn up badly and freight trains were tied up until repairs could be made. N ws of the outrage was received in Helena by the railroad detectives shortly after midnight and at 12:30 a special pulled out for the scene. Chief of Detectives MrPhet ridge was in charge of ne party, which was composed of severs; detectives and sheriffs. In addition the six bloodhounds that have been at the Helena station for several days were taken. The party returned this afternoon from the scene of the outrage. It began to rain heavily soon after the explosion and by the time the officers arrived every trace of the blackmailers had been washed away. Bloodhounds were unable to gain scent. NO TRUSTEE IS ELECTED THE 500 CREDITORS OF ELLISON HAVE DIVIDED ON MATTER. No Demonstration of Violence Againat Elllsou Mrs. Ellison Will Claim Her Third. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE. Ind.. Oct. 6. -There were 500 creditors of the Ellison Bank present at the meeting to-day in the courthouse at Lagrange to elect a trustee. In spite of rumors to the contrary and warnings by friends to Rollln Ellison, there were no demonstrations of violence of any character. Two ballots were taken for trustee without election in either case. L. M. Rowe, who was favored by the Ellisons, received a large majority of the amount of claim, while Frank D. Merritt, the candidate of most of the Topeka depositors, received a plurality yf the votes, but failed to receive the number necessary to a choice. Referee Harris üeviated from his practice in former cases, and permitted a motion for a second ballot at once. It carried, but resultad aa the tlrst. The referee will appoint a trustee to-morrow. There Is a manifest disposition of the KMison adherents to procure a friendly trustee and of the others to secure an antiEllison man. The bank building and other property was offered for sale by Receivers Keegan and Nichols. The receivers gave the creditors a shock by announcing that Mrs. Rollln Ellison would claim her third. The creditors had first been led to believe that she would waive her claims. The building was bought by Samuel Kruick for $5,525. The other bidder was the new State bank just organized with Judge Ferrall in its directorate. The sale was considered a good one. The creamery skimming station was sold to H. M. Zook. of Topeka, for ftt5. There were filed with the refer a petitions from a number of depositors for return of d- posits made on days just preceding the bank's close, when its insolvent condition must have been known There will be a grand jury investigation of the failure next month. The second ballot at the meeting of the Ellison Bank creditors resulted in no elec tion. Referee Harris appointed S. K. (Janyard as trustee.

BIG CROWD SAW DUSS MILLIONAIRE MISICTAN AMPLY REPAID THEIR CIRIOS1TY. One of the .Most Brilliant Concerts That Has Ever Been Heard in Indlanapolla. LILLIAN NOEDICA CHARMS THE GREAT SOPRANO RECEIVES THE HOMAGE OF ADMIRERS. Work of the Conrcid Orchestra Great, ly Enjoyed -Dnss Mukea Two or Three Speeches. Indianapolis surprised itself last night by turning out in extraordinarily large numbers to attend one of the most brilliant concerts ever given in this city. It had been feared that the Duss-Conreid Orehes-tra-Nordica concert would not prove successful from a financial standpoint, owing to the well-known Backwardness of Indianapolitans in patronizing musical events of the first rank, but Tomllnson Hall, with its rows of new boxes encircling the auditorium under the balcony, presented a spectacle that was good to the eye when the much-talked-about bandmaster waved his baton for the opening of the evening's programme. Nearly all of the seats on the main floor were occupied, and the brand new boxes, us yet incomplete, were tilled with auditors, while the balcony and gallery were literally packed. It w.is a great audience, worthy of the great concert. Luiss he prefers to be called just plain Duss, it seems made his initial bow to local music lovers and was looked upon throughout the evening with considerable curiosity; the Conreid Orchestra, from the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, played for the first time in this city and scored a most emphatic success, and Lillian Nordica, the soprano of all sopranos, came back to the Hoosier capital and won the hearts of all her hearers with her glorious voice, just as she was wont to do in the good old May festival days. Duss was interesting; the orchestra was splendid, and Nordica was superb. COMBINATION THAT APPEALS. Duss is undoubtedly a musician, but he is first of all a millionaire. To be a millionaireand a self-made millionaire, too is to attract more than passing notice, but to be a millionaire and the conductor of an orchestra at one and the sume time that is a novelty that appeals to everybody. The people sitting well down in front last night list 1 with all their ears to catch the sound of gold jingling in Duss's pockets as he energetically directed his instrumentalists, for they expected to hear rhythmic clinks keeping time to the music. Whether or not the musicians who call Duss their leader pay any attention to him when they play is a question that puzzled those profound thinkers, the New York music critics, sJJ summer long. Music, critics are always being puzzled about something, and Duss was an unusually good subject to worry over. So far as last evening s concert was concerned, Duss appeared to understand his orchestra perfectly, even if the orchestra didn't und. rstgnd him. He goes About big luisin-ss rather nervously, perhaps, but that is due to his temperament. It was thai Sgme nervousness that made him what he is to-day. He is not only a self-made millionaire, but he is a s- ll-made musician as well. Be t".k. up the study of harmony just as he took up the study of successful financiering- with the determination to land on top. And, although he cannot possibly become a creator of classic music, to judge by the one composition of his own that was played last night, he has the push and the energy, the brains and tin- mom y t.. accomplish great things in a muse-.i! wa. S. i.n.k out for him in tne rutun Duss did not lose much time in getting on close terms with his audience. He started in to become conversational, when he was obliged to announce a Change in the programme, and having once got a good 6tart he admits himself that he has a w.-akness for speech-making he talked t. the crowd whenever an excuse offered. He told the audience that he was proud of it or words to that effect that he had been given to understand that Indiana; - lis couldn't possibly turn out a grtnil at sad concert audience, but had concluded to time to the town anyway and take chances, and that he was glad he came; he said that he would always remerber everyone present, and there wer1 those in the hall who honed he was alluding to those millions of

Reported to Have Suffered Serionsly and Forced to Seek Kef age in Bulgariun Territory. SOFIA, Bulgaria. Oct. 6. A dispatch forwarded from Rilo Monastery yesterday says the insurgents have withdrawn entirely from the Razlog district and valley, having suffered serious repulses. The insurgents and their agents are attempting to conceal the truth, but the act remains that combined operations on the part of the insurgents in that direction are no longer possible, the Turkish troops having effected a clearance and driven the bands to seek shelter in Bulgarian territory. Details of the fighting at Kitkar, near Kratovo (thirty-eight miles from lFkub, Oct. 1 and I, have reached the revolutionary headquarters here. The battle was waged for thirty-six hours. The Turks found it impossible to dislodge the band of eighty insurgents from their strong position and brought up two cannon. The shots, however, went over the Insurgents and wrought havoc among the Turks on the other side of the position. The insurgents ultimately escaped. The Turkish losses are variously estimated at from 60 to 250 men killed or wounded. The political situation to-day is not regarded overfavorably.

One item of 4".!" acres ol laud, it is alleged, was sold for 185,000, and of this sum only was admitted as receded hv the trustee. Mr. Gardner said that he did not take particular cognizance of the value of the property, adding that so far as he knew only accrued from this sale. An accounting in this last mentioned sum was made in l4. but since that time the trustees hae made no further accounting. The hearing will be continued on Oct. .

LAWRENCElk'RG. Ind., Oct. 6.-Susan Williams, aged twenty-two, and Amanda Purst, aged twenty, colored, were arrested yesterday afternoon at Welsburg, charged with robbery, and brought here, it being deemed unwise to keep them in any of the villages near tlje scene of the murder of Scariio Pzroski. the Finnish interpreter, who was killed Sunday afternoon by Rupert Jones, a negro laborer, owing to the intense feeling against he negroes. A number of itrominent citizens of Weisburg, who were in town this morning, say that the feud between the Finlanders and negroes is fast approaching a tragical crisis. All last niht lights flitted to and fro in the rival cafmps and knots of excited men, armed to the teeth, were to be found in every part o the camps discusaing the new phases of rt:e feud. The Finlanders are not amenabje to reason since Pvotkfc s tragic death. Tie murdered 1-inlander was the only man among the three hundred in camp who could speak English, and his loss places thoe who would endeavor to explain matters to the Finlanders and attempt to bring jbout a truce or a suspension of hostilities in a position of helplessness. The negtJoes are not at all Bggri -sive. and greailV fear their white enemies, whose forces art- much stronger than tie iis. However, they j are holding: their ground. Even the woman and children are armed. Tin Finlanders- have the sympathy of a majority of the residents of Weisborg and vicinity, as the prejudice against the blacks has beeu very pronounced since the murder of Rosa Kaiser sast May. If net essary the blacks will be tioved from that section of the railway improvements near the seehe of last Sunday'ji tragedy to a location less dangerous to tit.'ir safety aud the peace of the community. An interpreter will be procured, and through him the Finlanders may be induced to forego the vengeance they seem bent on v-reaking upon their colored foes. ' CHICAGO BECOMING H0FEST.

"I am much pained at the action of the Citizens' League. It has made a grave mistake.

INCONSISTENCY OF THE NEWS "After months spent In teaching the people of this city to sever the city government from the corrupt snd partisan control and seek reformation, the Indianapolis News for some reason hau suddenly turned to strike the man and platform who advocate the principle it sought to teach the citizens for months past and refuses to support the man who stands for the highest plane of reform. "My contention is that those men who declaim for a high plane of civic righteousness will have to live and die for It. Fnless we are true to that high plane s repetition of this general moral expression is not likely to come in the next two years, or in ten years. Many people say that their first and lat duty Is to defeat ths present administration. That is not what we want; what we do want Is to defeat corruption. The purpose of the ballot, is not to win the elation, for votes can be bought. Its purpose is to declare one a highest convictions. The question is, will you be true to wh; t yuu see? EVIL OF DEM CRATIC MACHINE. "If one-half tha. is charged against the Democratic machine be true, that is the very kind of machine we should provide against. It is not a question of electing Bookwalter. Holtsman or Hits in thia campaign, but it is the severance of city government from he corrupt partisan chine that controls it." MR. HEXSCHF.N FOR ROOKWALTF.lt. The Xeira'a Campaign of Ylllfleatloa Too Mneh for Hlaa. Mr. John A. Henschen, of 1142 Kentucky avenue, who has been looked upon by the anti-Bookwalter people as an ardent worker in their camp, wil do doubt prove a shock to them. He is one of the Republicans who. not thoroughly in sympathy with tha present administration in all Its acts, has been converted to the active support of Mayor Bookwalter by the campaign of vllilitation conducted by the Inriltnapoiii News. Yesterday Mr. llenschen authorised the Journal to publish the following statement : "After due eon Ideratlon of the charges against the present administration, and considering the condition of affairs handed over by the old administration, 1 have concluded that the only proier course ia to support the Republican nominees. "The vicious attacks on the csmlidatea of the Republican tl ket and inc. dentally on many thousand Republican voters by an afternoon paper which supported Bookwaiter two year ago, have diriusted g great many so-called anti-administration Republicans, and the indications now are that a large majority of them will from this time forward do a'l in their power to help elect the tegularly selected Republican ticket. While the present adminlatrstlon may have done aome things not exactly in accordance with my views, yet I see nothing encouraging In the promises of the Democratic candidates and it seems to me to turn the city over to them this fall will seriously injure the prospecta for the Republican success nest year. I therefore urge all my frierds, both Democrats and Republicans to w.rk a I Intend to. lor the success of the Republican ticket in this important electior. "Having honorsbly served my country during the period from td t" ." on many hard-fought battl-fields and having voted the Republican ticket without exceptio ever since. 1 feel that it ia too late now to go back on tie old flag, and urge all my old comrades to rally around the nag aL'ONTIN I LU" UN PAOE I.
