' Of the. new colonels Just acquiring their eagle. Colonel James Regan of the Ninth Infantry t the longest In the service. He entered the army aa a bugler In the Second United States Infantry In 1868, three years before the civil war. He served through a greater part of the civil war with his regi ment, and then enlisted in the Eighteenth United States Infantry, and was made a second lieutenant for gallantry In action In 1866. But few officers now on. the active list have served longer than Colonel "Teddy" Regan, aa he was familiarly known by his associates. He served during the Sioux Indian war of 1866-68 with the Eighteenth Infantry, and waa with the regi ment at the time of the Fort Phil Kearney massacre. In December, ' 1866. It will thus be observed that Colonel Regan has been continuously In the aervice for -forty-five years. A majority of the new colonela are gradu ates from the Military academy at West Point, and all have won their colonelcy by gradual promotion from second lieuten ants, dating on 'the average from 1866. It will be observed, too, that average term of a second lieutenant'a coramlaalon la Ave years. First lieutenants about the same, and that of captain runs all the way from ten to twelve years; major five years, and lieutenant colonel about two and a half years, 1 When They Retire, The retirement of army following that of Lieutenant General next montn win be In tbe following chronological order: 19l4 Lieutenant non-.l an....

KEARSARGE REACHES MAINE Makes Fast, Though Not Record, Rnn Across Atlnntlo Oeenn, BAR HARBOR, Mo., July 26 The United States battleship Kearsarge arrived here at 5:24 p. m. and dropped anchor In the upper harbor nt 6:10. All day the shore path had been thronged with people anxiously watching the eastern horizon for the first glimpse of the famous chip, but It waa not until. 6 that Its Im mense hull appeared In the east. - Coming at full speed the ship entered the harbor and passed the other ships of the squad ron at anchor, then proceeding to the up per harbor, where Illinois with Admiral Barker on board was anchored. After the usual ..formalities a . reporter was received on board and was the first to greet Captain Hemphill, who expressed sur prise that his trip' should be of Interest to others outside the 'Navy department. He said: We left the Needles at 5:15 p. m. July 17, and Mount Desert Rock at 12:30 today, covering the distance of 2.900 miles' In 9 days 4:,. hours, an average speed of 13.18 miles hn hour. The highest speed attained waa a little over 15 knots an hour and the slowest 10. Three times during the trip the ahip was slowed down, once because of Icebergs and twice on account of fog. Head winds and thick weather retarded the speed, which under favorable conditions would have covered the distance In leas than 9 days. Captain Hemphill saya he could start on a return trip at once and beat the record made on this voyage. , Since Kearsarge left New York fifty-three days ago It has visited Germany, Den mark and England, has steamed 8,200 miles. has been at sea twenty-four days and In port twenty-nine days, and during all thla time there has not been a single accident to the machinery, not a break or a (top of any kind. When she left Portsmouth she carried 1.640 tons of coal and now has on board 410 tons, consuming 1,230 tons on the voyage. an average of 135 tona dally. Aa Its coal carrying capacity is but 1,591 tons some coal waa taken on deck. The trip has demonstrated that a ship of Its class can maintain an average speed of over 13 knots on a long voyage without Injury to the 'machinery; that its coal car rying capacity la adequate for a trip of 4.000 miles under full speed; that In time of war ships of its class can cross the ocean and engage an enemy at once. Kearsarge will leave tomorrow .at I and proceed to the coaling station at Lamolne, where it will fill Its bunkers preparatory to participating In the naval maneuvers which begin on August 3. WASHINGTON, July M.-Much Interest was taken by naval officers in Washington In the run of Kearsarge from Portsmouth to Frenchman's Bay. It waa estimated be fore the vessel left England that with good weather It would make the run In ten daya and thia prediction has been verified. Estimating that It traveled about 1.000 miles, its speed would average approxi mately between 13 1-10 and 1314 knots per hour. While the run Just made 1s not remark able, yet it Is satisfactory for a battle ship and Indicates that the engines were In good condition. Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation, speaking about the voyage to night, suld: There was no test of maximum speed possible, but only a teat of the usual run ning under all boilers. It Is customary in ordinary cruising to use only about two thirds or three. fourths of the full boiler power of the ship. All the boilers are uaed when It is desired to make better speed and sustain It for a long period, while for aliort periode of excessive speed forced draft on the boilers is used. This Is dune, however, only for short periods, because the strain on the boilers and on the en durance of the firemen Is great. The bot tom of Kearsarge, although not necessar ily foul, la not In Its best condition, because the vessel is not Juat out of the dry dock. Japan Meek a ISe Medlatlen. PARIS. July W.

TWO THOUSAND GUESTS MAY ATTEND California Expected to Line In Tito Hnndred strong, nnd Other Slates Also to Be Well Repre sented. LEAD, S. D.. July 2 (Special.) Two hundred members of the Black Hills Min ing Men's Association were present when that organisation convened In session In this city on Thursday evening, and what proved to be one of the most Interesting meetings of the year followed. Secretary Mahon of the American Mining congress waa present and In an address told of what was being done to entertain the visitors and delegates to the congress when they arrive In Lead and Deadwood next Septem ber. Reports from the various committees who have charge of the business of the con gress so far as It relates to the Hills were given, and they show that the progress which has been made so far Is most satis factory. Delegates will be present at the congress from every mining state In the union, and as Invitations have been for warded to the governors of other states to appoint delegates to the congress, and all have responded and complied with the request. It Is expected that the congress will be the largest 'ever held. California alone sending over 200. while Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Missouri, Illinois, Alaska and other states and territories will come to the Hills with strong delegations. Secretary Mahon stated that the financial end of the congress had been well looked after, and that there are funds In abund ance to meet every and all expenses of the congress; that great Interest was being manifested In every one of the mining Hates and that the meeting would be one of the most Important and the most far reaching In the effects of Its work that has ever been held by the congress. Deadwood and Lead are looking forward to the enter tainment of from 1,500 to 2.000 guests next Beptember.aslde from the delegates who will be present at the congress and the arrange ments of both cities are, even at the pres ent time, so complete that should double the number come places will be found for them. . Arnicas Mill enrly Rendy. Work on the addition to the Amicus mill of the llome-Btake company is well under way. and It will be finished within a few months. When the addition shall have been made the Amicus w ill be the largest mill of Its kind In the world, and more stamps will be operated by the same engine than are under the same roof anywhere else. The big nlr compressor, the largest In the world, at the Ellison hoist of the company, which wus started up for a trial run a few weeks ago. Is now In continuous operation and Is doing the work cut out for It with as much ease as though It had to take core of but a dor.en air drills. DEADWOOD, S. D., July 28. (Special. ) Mining nffnlrs In the Black Hills, If one may Judge ot new plants In course of con struction, were never In so good a condi tion aa at the present time. The Increase In the dally tonnage of ore crushed when these new plants are completed will amount to 3,473 ions, of which amount 3,275 tons will come from the mining districts contributory to Lead and Deadwood. Following are the new plants In course of construction, with their respective tonnage: In Lawrence county: Horseshoe, cyanide, 500; Hidden Fortune, cyanide, i0; Colum bus, cyanide, 1.000; Gtltedge Maid, cyanide. 125; Reliance, cyanide. 250; Homestake. 100 added stamps, 600; Phoenix, cyanide. 250; Lundberg-Dorr-Wllson, cyanide. T5; Golden Crest, cyanide, 100; Lexington Hill, cyanide, 100; Spearnsh, addition, 75. In Pennington county, at Keystone: Mainstay, Bismarck stamp mill, 100. Total tonnage, 3.475. Besides the new plants mentioned above all of which will be In operation within a year, several other ig companies operating along the alltclous belt of the northern hills contemplate the erection of treatment plants. The five additional stamps for the golden crest have been placed In position in the company's mill on Strawberry and will be dropping on ore within a week or so. This will bring the capacity of the plant up to 100 tons a day. The company la now mln'ng some very good ore, and In the workings on the ground have large reserve supplies blocked out. In the same neighborhood the parties' who have taken the Gilt Edge and Dakota Maid will shortly place a large force of miners at work opening up their ground. Both of these mines are old prop ositions and have been worked for years. the ore having been hauled to Deadwood for treatment over one of the roughest trails In the Hills, and both have paid well to work. Will Treat by Cyanide. It Is the Intention to so open them that all of the ore In the mines can be made available, the rich as well aa that of aver age grade which had been left behind by the former owners, who had taken only the best for shipment. Work on the 125-ton plant, a wet-crushing cyanide, will begin at once, the machinery having been or dered and ground broken for the founda tions. The district In which these three mines are located, the Bare Butte, has for years been a producer of rich smelting ore, the most of which is susceptible to treat ment by the cyanide process, and much ground is being developed In the district for the purpose of furnishing ores for plants using thla particular process of treatment and some excellent shoots are being exposed. Lundberg, Dorr & Wilson, owners of the Buxton and Big Bonanza groups of mines near Ten-y, have begun operations on a 75-ton wet-crushing cyanide mill. Thla mill will embody several new features in cyanide mill construction, suggested by Messrs. Dorr and Wilson. The power to run the machinery will be electricity, which will be furnished from the electric light plant at Lead; the ore will be cruahed In solution In a Chill mill and then sub mitted to the ordinary leaching process. While the plant will be an Innovation In the Black Hills In many ways, the owners expect that It will prove to be one of the greatest of successes. The ground upon which It will be operated has been worked under lesse by Its present owners for a number of years and the ore treated In a leased plant at Deadwood, necessitating a haul of a number of miles. The lease has proven to be such a good Investment that Messrs. Lundlierg. Dorr ft Wilson con cluded to purchase the property and have done so and will now work the ore from It In their own mill. Lexington Hill Begins Work. The Lexington Hill Gold Mining com pany, the organization which haa acquired so much property in the Spruce Gulch dis trict, will eoon begin operstlons on a large scale, among which will be increasing the capacity of the Highland Chief mill, which had been operating on this property under a different management for a number of years. This property la one of the best known In the Hills, having been worked In the earliest days of milling operations. The new company owns a very large avre age of land in the district, the most of which has received more or less develop ment, and on some of it mining on a large scale had been carried on. In Blacktall gulch the Jupiter conrpany la now treating ISO tons of ore a day, ita plant being again In operation after a shut down of several weeks, caused by the breaking of a casting on Its big rock crusher. The Phoenix, which adjoins the Jupiter, and which Is developing the asms character of ore, a cement conglomerate. Is working a large force of men putting Its ground In shape so that when Its 2S0-ton cyanide mill is completed there will be plenty of ore for It to run on. Ground for the new mill will be broken on Monday, and It Is expected that by the time the foundations are nady to receive it that all of the machinery will be on the ground and ready to be placed In position. Victorian Finds More Ore, Developments on the Victoria company's ground have disclosed another large shoot of ore underlying the ones on which so much work has been done, and which have proven so extensive. This new shoot now puts the Victoria In the same claaa with the Spearffsh, so far as the exposure of ore Is concerned, and makes It, with that company, the leading mining ground In that section of the Hills. With a big plant at work the Victoria would be one of the best producers on the atllclous ore belt of the district. DOGS AND MUZZLES AND MEN Dr. George I Miller Writes a 'Brief Xote on the General Topic. OMAHA. July 28.-To the Editor of The Bee: In answer to what Is being said of my views of hydrophobia and the mad dog scare, which Is so clearly preposterous. I ask The Bee to allow me a few words. More than thirty years ago, as editor of the Omaha Herald, I wrote the annual mad dog proclamation and dog muzzles out of existence In this town. For a generation no such thing has been seen In Omaha. Under the official lead of Dr. Ralph, who never tins seen a case of hydrophobia, and Chief of Police Donahue, who alao never saw a case of hydrophobia, nobidy else having seen one In nearly fifty years, the old barbarism promises u be revived. I say, bccauHe I think I know, thnt nothing Is so certain to make a dog vicious, mad If you please, as the muzzle. It hinders him from drinking freely and naturally It de prives him of his lime-food In the bone, from masticating his food properly, nnd takes from him hi chief weapon of defense, the teeth, ngalnst the stings and torturo upon his sensitive body of fleas and flies But far and above this cruelty to the dog, the muzzle Is a constant reminder to men, women and children of that mythical dis ease and Imaginary horror of the mad dog. I speak from medical observation of strong men In medicine, and from much study and thought, when I say that the muzzled dog In past days has cost many p.-e.iom lives by causing simulated hydrophobia that breaks out In some places every few years without nny bites from dogs. Dr. Ralph snys In The Bee that 1 "have a tight to my opinion." This is very kind of the doctor. I am much ' bilged to him. But perhaps he will agree thnt before 1 exercise this right too freely. ! would d well to obtain the consent of Mr. Dr. J. A. Cummlngs, who intimates In what h bravely calls n "reply" to mo that hydro phobia first came Into the world nt about the time thnt he did. GEORGE L. MILLER. President of the Humane S'K-lety. NATIONAL IRRIGATION MEET Extensive Preparations Being Made by Ogden Cltlses to Entertain Delegatea. The Eleventh Annual Irrigation congress will be held September 15 to IS Inclusive at Ogden. The official call for this meet ing has Just been issued by President XV. A. Clark nnd other officials. It calls at tention to the fact that this Is the first convention to be fostered by state aid, to which ha3 been added large private sub scriptions. The meeting will be held In the state where Irrigation waa first taken up and where results can best be measured. Irrigation, says the call. Is a matter of nntlonnl importance not only to the six teen states and territories In which are tho arid lands but also In the south, where means arc now being taken to help the crops in drouths and where the storage of surplus water at the river heads will decrease the disastrous floods. Ttu In terest and Importance of the convention is grently enhanced by the national Irrigation act. The program InrludeH practical Irrigation nnd forestry lessons, reports of experts, ap plications of provisions of the reclamation act, state progress under the national act, views on settlement of legal complications, and the pertl-ient and important theme of colonization. Men of prominence In all lines directly and Indirectly connected with and dependent on irrigation will attend and take part in the discussion. The basis of representation will be 20 delegatea ap pointed by governors, 2 or 4 by mayors of cities, 2 from every commercial club, county board and agricultural association. KILL COYOTE AND END HUNT Animal which t'nnsrd Scnre on Pat rick Avenue Is Found and Executed. The coyote hunt on Patrick avenue terminated yesterday morning when Of ficer Sawyer shot the animal where It had hidden under a porch. It waa the pet of Harry Hood. 2631 Patrick avenue. Re cently Mrs. Hood ceased to keep hotis and turned the coyote adrift. Coupled with the rabies scare the freedom of the coyote In the neighborhood caused great fear, Saturday night a squad of policemen and a section of the populace tried to hunt It down but succeeded only In driving it to bay under a porch, where It could not be shot until daylight. The rabies scare haa not abated, and the police are still receiving many requests from dog owners and others to destroy animals, f fflcer Sawyer put In all of Sun day mornlnn killing dogs upon request. Officer A. H. Jackson had a few scalps to hla credit, while several men on beats acted as executioners for persons who con cluded that their dogs were becoming more of nuisancer than pets. A dozen or more tramp dogs have been slaughtered within the last few days without causing anyone any grief. All those that have been killed have been considered vicious.
