DAILY ROUTINE OF DRILL The Government Mule and Some of His Vagaries. A HIGH COMPLIMENT Speciat St Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, May 30, 1298. ‘The soft. sweet tones of a mandolin, the accompaniment of a chorus of voices, i one of the company streets of the 2d F talion attracted my attention just before tattoo last ning as 1 was strolling through the camp of the Ist Regiment of Infantry, District of Columbia Volunteers.

The boys were sing- Ing the familiar refrain that concludes “Oh, let me take my place at home again.” Passing on, I approached the quarters of the Ist Battalion, at the other extremity »{ the camp. A company there was group- td beneath a spreading oak, singing. The mandolin was missing, but the song, in view of that chosen by the 3d Battalion boldier lads. was significant.

At Supper an effort in the usual course of affairs is made to vary the diet, and the soldier's hunger is appeased with bacon, hardtack and coffee.

In addition the men are issued a plentiful al- lowance of excellent fresh meat, potatoes, tomatoes, beans and the like. ch man has his meat can, tin cup, knife and fork.

The Government Mule. The government mule has made his ap- pearance in camp, and the camp is by no means as secure now as it was before he arrived. Thus far he is eight in number, and when it is possible to overcome him is attached to two government wagons. The government mule, as seen at Chicka- mauga, possesses an individuality. all his ewn. Ordinarily it requires the undivided efforts of a score of stalwart soldiers to convince one mule that the thing for him to do {s to get into harness and help draw a wagon. The soldiers in she long run come cut of the argument in the lead, but they are not always as immaculate physl- cally and morally after it is all over as when the meeling was called to order. One mule a few days ago rudely inter- rupted ihe session of the officers’ school. An attempt was made to hitch this particu- lar beast to a wagon. He objected. The harness was broken. A moment later the mule started to move. He approached the picket line and with one leap cleared three horses.

Senators Pettixrew and White were an- tagenistic to annexation, and Senator Hale announ himself favorable to final ad- journment after the passage of the war revenue bill and necessary appropriation pills. Mr. Pettigrew's Opposition. Mr. Pettigrew devoted himself especially te Senator Chandler's declaration that the acquisition of the islands was a necessity of war. He contended that such was not the case, and argued that Unalaska, a tewn within our own borders, was a far more Cesirable stopping point for ships bound the orient from Sun Francisco than Honolulu could be. He said Honolulu and Unalaska were cach about 2,100 miles from San Francisco, but that while Hono- tuiu was more than 4,900 miles distant from Manila, Unalaska was only a little over 4,100 miles.” “Why,” he asked, “did not our govern- ment, in view of thislifference in distance and in view of the saving of two days’ time, store her coal at Unalaska instead of Honolulu? Why, jf it was not in anticipa- tion of the raising of this ery of neces- sity in order to force us into acquieseence in the acquisition of the fslands as a war measure when it was known that‘annexa- tion could not be accomplished in time of peace? Senator White thought he saw in the ef- fort to secure Hawaiian annexation at this time a desire to establish a precedent for similar proceedings in other cases, and said the matter should be postponed until a lessons of one hour each, the school of the battalion in close order and the squad, platoon, company and battalion in extend- ed order having been covered.

He thought that [f our principal object had been that se- curing a coaling station we shoul nat fortified Pearl Harbor, but as this had not been done it was evident that we must have other designs. Senator Lodge said after the conclusion of the secret session that he had accom- to the necessity for action on this subject before final adjournment, and that he would not further press the subject in con- nection with the war revenue Dill. FOR TERRITORIAL EXPANSION. Senator Elkins on the Necessity of Acquiring Hawaii. The secret legislative session forced upon the Senate yesterday by Messrs. White and Turpie, when Mr. Lodge began speaking on the revenue bill, lasted until 4:45 p.m., when the doors of the Senate were thrown open. Speaking on the revenue bill Mr. Elkins (W. Va.) objected to the tax upon corpora- tions, on bank deposits and to the stamp tax. He maintained especially that the tax en bank deposits was wreng in principle, as it was a tax on debts. Concerning ine corporation tax he held that the tax on gross receipts was manifestly unjust, as it bore upon property which the corporations did not possess. The net earnings were a proper subject of taxation. He ‘was strongly in favor of a just and equitable system of war taxation. He said he opposed the amendment of the majority of the committee last Saturday because it discriminated against the citi- zens compe the corporations and in favor of individuals doing the same kind of business. It wasta direct tax not appor- tionavie among the states and was uncon- sUtutional. An income tax was pteferable. The amendment of Mr. Gorman, he id, embodied the same injustice in aggravated form. He delivered a Vigorous arraignment of the proposition to issue legal tender notes as full of danger and mischief to our credit and fisance. Discussing territorial expansion, Mr. Elk- ins said that because of our traditional policy isolation and opposition to ac- quiring territory in the past, we must not put aside what comes to us by war. The raguan canal and the Hawaiian Is- id he, rise above the horizon and come in whatever to building one and acquiring the otners ight more plainly than ever, and opposition there may have been heret« the hi fore must disappear in the face jag going up over tran: of rro Castle, what pired in the Philippines, and the the Oregon.

COLUMBIAN BANQUET Annual Gathering of the University Alumni Assdéeidtion. THE RECENT GRADUARES AS GUESTS | Addresses by Presitient Whitman | and Members 6f Faculty. LIST OF THOSE PRESENT The annual banquet of the Alumni As- sosiation of the Columbian University wa: given last evening at the Hbbitt House, and was in many respects the most suc- cessful ever given. The guests of the even- ing were the recent successful candidates for graduation in the different departments of the university, and their presence made things lively. Heretofore it has been cus- tomary for the several faculties te combine and entertain the graduates after com- mencement at a collation, but the experi- ment this year was so successful that there is lite doubt of its continuance. At 8 o'clock there was @ reception in the parlors of the hotel, and the boys met their professors for the first time since exami- nations, and modestly responded when call- ed “doctor” The older members of the as- sociation renewed acquaintance, and at 9 o'clock, when President Duvall called for yolunicers to follow him to the banquet hall, there was a general response. The arrangement of the tables was unique. The main table was in horseshve shape, around which sat the professors 9% the institution and members of the alumni. At smaller tables sat the candidates for graduation in the several departments. Ex- cept for the lavish display of flowers on |the tables and the presence of American flags on the walls, the banquet hall was not decorated. Behind a screen in one cor- ner of the room sat a stringed orchestra, and during the evening it played all the popular nusic, arousing the patriotic fet vor of the guests when the national ai were played. Cheers for President Whitman. President Duvall called the banquet guests to order shortly after 11 o'clock. He said he had received a commission from the board of strategy to take charge of the craft in which all present were embarked, and, after being victualed and supplied, to launch her upon the placid stream and head for the shores of accomplishment. He then called President Whitman of the university to his feet, and when he arose there was deafening applause. The students in the lower end of the hall gave the medical yell, and when they had subsided a litle Dr. Whitman said this was the best alum- ni gathering he ever attended, and sincere- jy hoped it would be repeated. It was of vast importance to the university, he said, in having the gradutes together at gather- ings of this kind. Tie was interrupted heré by the under- giaduates, who insisted upon testifying their appreciation of the speaker by the different yells. Dr. Whitman asked what the boys in the lower end of the hall would do to him if he came down there among them, and they replied:’ ‘We'll treat you right.” Seizing the opportunity, Dr. Whit- man took his position among the boys and delivered his address. He said the men at the other end of the table were beyond be- ing helped. The boys were not. Dr. Whitman took for his theme the de- velopment of men-homooulture, and called attention to the fact that the world was interested in men, not in works. The speak- er referred to the great achievements of the men of history, and tok Gladstone as a shining example of What energy and ability had accomplished. He was the un- crowned king of the people. When we think of the Philippines, he said, we do not consider the islands; but remember Dewey: when we think of Cuba, It is to Sampson or Schley and Miles our thoughts n. Yes, and to Fitzhugh Lee, said the aker, taking the suggestion from one husiastic banque! and then added: “heer him.” The suggestion was enough, and cheer afier cheer for the doughty Vir- ginian rang forth Mr. Duvall next called on Mr. Walter Clephane. Mr. Clephane prefaced his re- marks with a few timely stories, which cre- ated enthu m. He spoke feelingly of the love all should have for the Alma Mater, and of the g strides Which had been taken by the erent depertments of the university, especially the law department. Receive Royal Welcome. Dr, W. W. Johnston of the medical facul- ty arose to protest against -making a specch. He was obliged to wait some time, for there is no greater favorite with the students than Dr. Johnston, and the boys joined the members of the alumni in giving a royal welcome. And so it J. Ford Thompson and Dr. and Dr. W. P. ‘Carr, as well as r members of the medical faculty. Dr. Millard F. Thompson made a stirring address and told several anecdotes in his own happy way, to the entertainment of all. At the conclusion of his speech a mo- tion was made to send a Wunch of flowers to Prof. Otis Mason, who Was unable to be present on account of illness. afid the mo- tion was unanimously carried. One of the features of the evening was the contribution of the Alumni Quartet, compesed of Dr. N. Willis: Pomeroy, J. A! Ross, J. W. Humphrey and M. D. Hensey. Those Present.
