It is not generally known that yell- ing when the charge is onis pre- scribed in the army regulations. “When from 30 to 50 yards from the enemy, emit a yell,” saith the drill-book, and the yell that fills the air isthe plain, old fashioned rebel “Y—Yo—Yo—Wo—Wo!” The New Yorkers turn loose a fearful yell when they charge, and the 5th Regi ment of Maryland lets go an even ingcan be done until the records are received and duly filed. Commissioner Evans expressed the opinion that only a comparatively few pensions would be sought for some time to come. This was the experience of the pension office after the civil war closed. For several years afterthe war ended only o few thousand applications for pen (‘THE MISSOURI STATE BANK, of Butler, Missouri. $55.000 00.

When the law of 1890 was passed the flood gates were lifted and the pensions quickly increased to 408.000.

Corbin would greatly facilitate the work of the pension office, prevent fraud and enable the deserving sel- diers to get pensions far more quickly than under the old system. Under the old system it was com- paratively a easy matter for a man to substitute some one possessed of physical defects to represent him before the medical examiners and inaconsiderable number of cases the scheme worked.

New York, Sept. 9—A dispatch to the World from London says: A report is published here of a daring plot to assassinate the czar of Mos- cow last week The plan of the conspirators was toallow gas to escape into the house on the route of the ezar’s pro cession the atmosphere in every room hed became saturated. One of their number was to remain in the house and strike a light when the czar was passing, in expectation that the house would be blown to Pieces, and the czar killed by flying debris. The conspirator would per- ish himself as a sacrifice to the cause. The duty fell to the lot cf one Alexander Kolanoff. Ia his agita- tion Kolanoff seems to have made an error, as the explosion was mis- timed. When it oceurred a staff Officer and his wife were driving past the house, and they, instead of the czar, were killed. Their coach man will probably die of his injuries and about thirty other persons were more or less seriously injured. Kolasott’s mangled body found among the ruins.

There is not a question of doub! that the battle cry of the American army is the “rebel yell” of old, and its adoption by the boys in blue isa great compliment to the men who set it to music by bullets thirty- seven years ago. The 5th took to the yell most naturally. There are menin the com mand who “sang in the choir” of ‘61 and who ere delighted to*hear the revival of the never to-be-forgotten “melody.” Capt. Lee Goldsborough, of Co. I, says the yell, junior, is tbe real thing and is of the opinion that it is the sweetest “music” he ever heard. Champion Shot of the World.
