Orders and Maps by
Light of Lanterns.
MARCH BEGINS ON MONDAY
Two Armies Not Expected to Come

Donell Is in Command.
MURRAY, Wash.. Aug. 8. (Special.)
Two armies instead of one occupy
the American Lake district tonight.
Segregation of the maneuver troops
vii made today and the 5000 fighting
men were assigned to one army or the
other for the period of simulated war
fare. Brigade commanders were given
their problems tonight and the neces
sary Instructions were handed on down
to subordinate officers. The result is
that maps of the district are being
generally studied by light of lanterns
and candles. Both aides are determined
to win.
Although the outline of movements
for both armies Is being guarded with
great secrecy and the orders are not
available for publication, yet the gen
eral plan of campaign was learned
from a reliable source late tonight.
The Brown army, or first brigade.
will move In a southwesterly direction
from t.i- vicinity of Mun ay Station.
Its objective wiil be retreat from the
country, 'while the Blue army will
maneuver In the territory west of
American Lake, Intent on enveloping
the Brown force and exterminating It.
The commanders will be dependent
upon their scouting partlea and cavalry
patrols for any information they may
secure, since no advantage is to be
given any officer which would not be
available in actual warfare.
McDonell to Command Brown.
Colonel Charles E. McDonell, of Port
land, commanding the Brown army,
will have the Third Oregon Infantry,
the Sixth United States Infantry, the
Fourth Oregon, two troops of the Four
teenth Cavalry, a battery of the
Fourth United States Artillery, a hos
pital corps detachment, ambulance
company, signal corps detachment, and
a pack and wagon train for stores, sup
plies and war equipment.
In the Blue army, according to to
night's segregation, will be the Second
Washington Infantry, the Third United
States Infantry, the Third Battalion
of the Second United States Infantry, a
troop of Washington Cavalry, a troop
of the Fourteenth United States Cav
alry, a mountain battel y, a battery of
the Fourth United States Field Artil
lery, signal and hospital corps detach
ments, an ambulance company, pack
and wagon trains.
Leaving Camp David Stanley at dif
ferent hours, the time being withheld
in each instance, the two armies will
march In solid formation until several
miles on their way, when advance
guards, scouts and patrols will be sent
out and the armies will be on the alert.
The Brown army will march with all
possible speed and one full regiment
will be placed on the van, flanks and
rear to brush away marauders and
small harassing detachments of the
enemy, should any appear. The protec
tion of the force will be of the great
est importance, as the attack may
come fiori rear, front or either flank
at any time.
Night Attack Expected.
An engagement may occur late in the
afternoon, by which time It Is entirely
Dossible the forces will he In contact
with each other. Again the day may be armies will measure full up to the re
passed without a general engagement. , qulrements of modern warfare.
At night the Brown army will bivouac j Concealment of troops In an advance
in the field, fatigued from a hard march ' regarded by Brigadier-General
of from 10 to 20 miles in heavy march- ' Brush, commanding the camp, as one
Ing order. Here a second problem In i of the foremost essentials of success In
protecting the main body of the retreat- , a wartime movement As pointed out
ing army wiii have to be worked out. At
least one full regiment will be assigned
to outpost duty. The men of most en
durance will be put out on the Cossacks
posts and picket lines. Cavalry patrols
will guard the resting army for several
miles, scouting all night for evidences of
the enemy.
The Blue army is more than likely to
strike In the night, especially If there
have been day engagements which have
weakened the Brown force. In the event
of clear weather there will be a bright
moon and the chances of a night en
gagement will be heightened.
Tuesday morning the hostilities will
continue. By noon It is expected that a
decisive stage in the situation will have
been reached and recall will then be
sounded. Upon arrival of the participat
ing troops at camp, friendly relations will
be resumed and there will be a general
discussion of the campaign.
This has been a quiet day In camp.
All troops were paid this morning and
the majority are on leave tonight. Passes
are limited to bunday morning, however,
as It is intended that tomorrow shall be
given over to rest.
Governor's Reception Success.
The reception given last night by the
Third and Fourth Oregon Infantry offi
cers In honor of Governor Chamberlain
proved a tremendous success. All the
regular service officers. Including General-Brush
and staff, were guests, and all
voted the affair the biggest reception
and the most pleasant one ever witnessed
In the field. A fine musical programme
was played by the Third Oregon band
and there were refreshments In pro
fusion. General Brash, camp commander, com
plimented the Oregon troops today In
talking with a party of civilian friends,
saying that the Oregon regiments were
to be commended for efficiency.
The ready adaptability of properly
organized and efficient National Guard
troops to the conditions of field service
is one of the valuable lessons learned
in the American Lake maneuvers of
190S. These are the first maneuver.
since reorganization of the Guard on
a. in uasia w bs oraered by
the War Department, and the showing
has been far better than previous field
exercise periods.
More Citizen Soldiers.
It Is said, on good authority, that the
result will be recruiting of heavier
forces of citizen soldiers, to serve as a
National reserve, a capacity already
filled by the state troops. The govern
ment has seemed to favor larger militia
forces for at least two or three years
past, the warmest advocate of the Idea
being William Taft while he was Secre
tary of War. Mr. Taft. last Summer,
made an announcement of his belief
that 400.000 Guardsmen should be
maintained In the country a a Ka-

tlonal reserve. His theory was that
with the fundamental Instruction given
at armories and home stations, field
service could he easily mastered. The
correctness of his theory has been
proved this week. It will be given a
more severe test on Monday and Tues
day. The maneuvers of this year have
been conducted on a new and excellent
plan: one which Is more than likely to
be followed altogetner In the future.
Instruction exercises have allowed
time for correction of erroia and thor
ough instruction In minute details of
field work. It has been a time of study
uninterrupted by excitement. The
men have had time to observe and
learn the theory of the war game,
as well as the practical side. Now
that they have learned their lessons
and been whipped into shape physical
ly, the lesson will be recited on the
battlefield.
Tvro Armies Contend for Supremacy
The American Lake district will
cease to be a great milltaiy classroom
on Monday and become a field of simu
lated warfare. When the 5000 men
are divided Into two armies, the
Blues" and the "Browns," so desig
nated from the color of shirts to be
worn, friendly relations between the
two armies will be severed for two
days of arduous campaigning. Every
detail of the week's lesson will be ap
plied to the test of practical execu
tion. Commanders of brigades, of regi
ments, of battalions, of companies and
warrant officers in charge of patrols
and outpost squads will be thrown on
their resources. As to the outcome
there is no doubt. Some individual
may lose his reputation by the way
side, but it Is safe to say the two
by General Brush, the difficulty of
keeplng men from exposing them
selves while advancing when they
know there Is no danger from an op
posing army using blank ammunition.
Is well understood. But officers who
expect to escape criticism will have to
operate their forces Monday and Tues
day quite the same as If the bullets
were of metal.
General Brush Gives Advice.
A defect in tactics pointed out by
General Brush Is that bodies of troops
acting as advance guards of larger
forces are apt to bring on an engage-
I ment too precipitately. He has issued
Instruction directing that officers must
bear In mind at all times that when
with advance guards their commands
are but f: actions of a larger unit and
must be controlled accordingly. Ad
vancing Independently, forgetful of the
main force. Is a thing greatly to be dis-
creaitea. umeral Brush points out
mi uiiaiui as wen as precipitate
attack is to be avoided.
"One of the principal duties of the ad
vance guard is to brush away small bod
ies of the enemy," said the General.
"Care should be taken that scouts, pa
trols and cavalry screens do not compel
the premature deployment of an un
necessarily large force and thus delay
the advance of the main force of troops.
The same thing applies to the rushing
of an entire command to the outposts,
because these have been fired on by
scouts. When, however, the circum
stances indicate that the main body of
the enemy has been developed, the com
manding officer of a force will use his
own Judgment as to the time required
to make his dispositions and bring the
conflict to a critical stage."
Umpires to Accompany Troops.
Umpires, detailed from the regular
Army, will accompany the two opposing
armies in the field Monday, and upon
their decisions defeat or success of the
contending forces will rest An umpire
will be assigned to each battalion and
will follow each and every movement.

CLOSE CRYSTAL PALACE
Famous .London Institution In Bad
Way Financially.
LONDON, Aug. 8. (Special.) A serious
crisis has arrived In the affairs of the
famous Crystal Palace. The chairman of
the company, E. Schenk, has announced
that under existing conditions It cannot
be carried on. To unsecured creditors its
liabilities are nearly $450,000. and if some
effective means are not found for deal
ing with the present' position the Crystal
Palace will be closed and the 200 acres of
grounds will probably pass into the hands
of builders.
With a view to making an attempt to
preserve the Palace and grounds a com
mittee is being formed which will meet
at the Mansion House under the presi
dency of the Lord Mayor.

Magnesium Sulphate Injected Into
Spinal Column Gradually Relaxes
Tense Muscles Anti-Toxin
Alone Not Effective.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 2. The Magee An
nex, also known as the Pasteur Insti
tute, attached to the Mercy Hospital of
Pittsburg, tonight comes to the fore
with what It claims Is the first real cure
for tetanus, or lockjaw. Magnesium
sulphate Injected Into the spinal col
umn Is said to have effected the cure.
This evening Harry Gilbert, 14 years
of age, was discharged from the Pasteur
Annex as well. His was one of the most
severe cases to come under the notice of
iocai physicians, and the new cure was
watched with great interest,
The boy was hurt with a toy pistol
on July 4, and on July 13 was carried
to the hospital in convulsions. Injec
tions oi a t psr cent; solution or. mag- :
neslum sulphate were started and grad- j
ually Increased .to 15 ' per cent. By
degrees the body of the boy, which I
had become rigid, resting only on the !
back of his head and his heels, began
to relax. Antl-toxln, too, was used In
good quantities to assist In th work
of relaxing the muscles. All the hospi
tal physicians assert that there was no
hope of antl-toxln saving the boy's life,
so far had the disease progressed be
fore he was treated. The treatment
lasted 12 days before the muscles of the
body became once more pliant, and the
last nine days have been spent by phy
sicians in examining the boy to see that
his condition is what it was claimed by
the Mercy Hospital physicians.
Bellevue Hospital, New York, has
been greatly interested in the case of
young Gilbert It Is said by the Mercy
Hospital psople tonight that for some
days there has been one of the Belle
vue staff here watching the case. Belle
vue, it is said, has lost threa cas e of
tetanus similar to' that of young Gil
bert since July 4.
SENATOR ALLISON BURIED
Simplicity .Marks Iowa Statesman's
Funeral at Dubuque.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. 8. As he lived,
so was Senator William B. Allison burled
today in a manner devoid of all ostenta
tion. Services were held at the residence
of the dead statesman and while not of a
private character, the limited accommoda
tions of the home permitted only the pres
ence of the distinguished visitors and the
most Intimate friends of the late Senator.
The services were simple and consisted of
the reading of the Twenty-third Psalm,
the Fifteenth Chapter of the Epistle to
the Corinthians and prayer. The Rev.
niinr r"fin I nni lllll
AMERICAN LAKE
OFFICERS'
I
J- T. Bergen, of the Westminster Presby
terian Church, officiated. There was no
music. The interment was private and
after the Presbyterian service- had been
ead by Dr. Bergen, the body of the Sen
ator was lowered into its last resting
place on the hillside which overlooks the
Mississippi River.
All Dubuque paid silent tribute to the
j. memory of Senator Allieon today. During
I the hours of the funeral not a wheel
turned throughout the city and every
business houee closed its doors. Flags
I hung at half mast from public buildings
and hundreds of homes and business
houses were trimmed with crpe. A most
effective feature was the winding with
bIack and whlte of the troll.-ypo
poles
throughout the main thoroughfares of the
city. The body of Senator Allison laid In state
yesterday afternoon and evening and
thousands of people called to -pay a final
tribute of respect. The pallbearers were
all residents of the city and Intimate
friends of the Senator. Many distin
guished visitors were in attendance at the
funeral.
Besides the members of the Congres
sional committee named by Vice-President
Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon,
there was a large delegation from Des
Moines, consisting of Governor Cummins
and other state officers. The Des Moines
party brought with them a beautiful
floral blanket six and one-half feet long
and three feet wide. The body was of
white carnations, and In the center
wrought in red, was the word "Iowa." In
three of the corners were clusters of lilies
of the valley and in the fourth was fas
tened a ribbon at the dates "1863-1908,"
these marking the duration of his official
life at Washington.
The grave of Senator Allison Is In the
family lot In Lorgwood Cemetery. A
modest marble shaft bearing the single
word "Allison" was erected, on the lot 20
years ago. The grave is close to that In
which Is burled the body of the late

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 8.
Tabooing politics almost entirely, Will-
lam J. .Bryan and Eugone W. Chafln, j
candidates of he Democratic and Pro- :
hibitlon parties, respectively, for the i
Presidency of the United States, were i
In conference today for nearly an hour
at falrview, the home of Mr. Bryan.
Having been advised of his coming,
Mr. Bryan came out on the front steps
as the Prohibitionist rival drove up,
and extended a hearty greeting.
"I heard that you were coming to
beard me in my home." said Mr. Bryan,
"and so I went and got shaved. You
are Just a little too late."
"Well," responded Mr. Chafln quickly,
"I shall enter your den Just the same."
He was ushered Into the house In a
way that left no doubt of the heartiness
of the welcome. The conversation
turned from one subject to another, but
dwelt mostly on Tolstoi, the Russian
sociologist. Both men are greatly in
terested in Tolstoi.
While every courtesy was shown to
Mr. Chafln. It remained . for Peter S.
Morrison, 95 years old, who lives near
Rock Springs. Wyo., to enjoy honors at
the hands of Mr. Bryan accorded to but
few. Mr. Morrison stopped ofT In Lin
coln on his way home from Michigan
for the sole purpose of shaking hands
with the Democratic party's nominee.
Although within five years of the cen
tury mark, Mr. Morrison displayed a
remarkable memory anil recalled with
clearness many stirring events of the
early days of the Republic.
. A number of letters from Republicans
residing In different parts of the coun
try are arriving dally at Falrvlew In
which the writers announce their Inten
tion of voting the Democratic ticket
this Fall. While declining to make the

as the reason for their change of po
litical faith.

Court Says English Cigars Must Be
Sold as Such.
LONDON, Aug. 8. (Special.) A series
of criminal actions has recently been
' taken against tobacconists In London at
the Instance of the Havana Cigar Manu
facturers' Protective Association for ap
plying a false description to English
made cigars. The case of the prosecutors
. was that the Spanish wording and "get
up" of the boxes were used to imitate the
Havana products. Backed by the Eng
lish cigar manufacturers, the last of the
I victims pleaded "not guilty" and was
I tried at the Old Bailey. He was con

' pealed to the court of appeal In criminal
cases the right of the British manufactur
ers to continue the use of the Spanish

marks was fully discussed, and finally the
Lord Chief Justice and Justices Channel
and Darling upheld the conviction.
