SOLDIERS IN REVIEW TROOPS AT FT. RILEY MAKE A ' FINE APPEARANCE FOBTBILEY, Kas., Oct. 26. A review of ill the troops In camp, WO In number, was beld Saturday morning in Smoky II ills flats, at tb tout be rn end of the reservation and is a purely military spectacle It li doubtful If, lo this country, at least. It was ever surpassed. There was aa absence of tbe glitter and gay colon of holiday occasions. Tbe unl forma were for the most part atalned with hard work, but tbe men, after week of drill, were in excellent condition, and wben tbey streamed in long, close get ranks, past the reviewing stand, Gen. Ian Hamilton of tbe British army could not contain hla expressions of pleasure, and repeated ly expressed bis gratification. Even tbe subalterns of tbe regular army seemed pleased with thornselvrs and a'l tbe world at the coccluslon of the review, and that tells, s much as anything can, that the allair was a most decisive success. The first brigade under General L. D. Brant hart the right of the line. It comprised the Second, Twenty first and one battalion of the Twelfth r gular Infantry. They camcs in col ubds of companies and made a fine ihowing, , General Bell, superbl? mounted on white-faced chestnut, came next with' hla hrluaffe. made un of the i Sixth and Twenty fifth regular in fantry and the Fifty-fifth Iowa. General Bell has been extremely for tunate In the makeup of bis brigade, for there are uo finer organizations In the array than the Sltxb and Twenty-fifth, aDd the Fifty-first Iowa is .'without d'uiht one of the b st national guard organizations In the country. Its bearing and march ing railed forth warm praise on all sides. Thl3 regiment bas made a most favorable impression on the officers of the regular army for its ability in the field, and its work today showed It was as good in the fancy points of the game of war as whe n id is marching over the hills or covering long stretches of dusty i toads. The Third brigade, under General Barry, was hcadod by the Missouri provisional regiment, that looked and marched exceedingly well. Its ranks were full and well kept and It was highly praised. The Second Nebraska, tb.it came next, was as good as the best of the national guard regiments. Colonel McDonnell, on a handsome dun horse, was. a conspicuous figure at tbe bea'J of his raiment and the battalions that camo afi.er bim were as satisfactory to Juoic upon as ti e colonel. The cavalry brigade, under Gen-ral Carr, followed the infantry, arid in appear nee and marching it sustained Its reputation of befog a portion of the finest light cavalry In the world. Nine batterleg of artillery rumbled along after horstnen bad passed and J then came the prosaic but highly important quartermaster's train. In the afternoon tbero wero athletic games by enlisted men of the regular irrry on the open air gymnasium be tween Fort P.iiey and Junction City. Major Raker, the chief quartermas ter, delivered a lecture ot "Transpor tation," which was hi-hly Interest ing to tbe military men. Kills His Two Boyi MARION, Ind., Oct. 26.

In thej senate yesterdaySir MacKenzie Bo well,1 leader of the opposition, asked for In formation concerning the Alaskan boundary award. Mr. Scott, for the government, re plied that the most important reason why the Canadian commissioners did not approve of the award was that it was not a judicial document decision. Bir Mackenzie Bowell sail that it was unfortunate that in every case when negotiations have taken place between the United States and Eng land; where Canada was affected, the United States diplomats had succeed ed in securing islands which command the most important points of the do minion. There was the island .right opposite the harbor of Port Arthur. In the case of a difficulty, he said that island would have to be secured by the British people for, if fortified, it would command the entrance to that harbor. Uoless that was done the United States could secure it and with the guns they have at present would be able to aestroy the whole connec tion between tr e east and west. It was the same with the island of Baa Juan, another secured by treaty nego tiations. "Now," said Mr. MacKenzie, "the United States will command Fori Simpson. In every case Canadian in terests were sacrificed." Senator McMullen said that the de ci. 'on would create as much dissatis faction in Canada as there was in tbe Transvaal and in Ireland. LONDON, Oct. 23.

In the name of the people of the United States on the result of tbe tri bunal's deliberations. Nixon Still on tbe Stand. NEW YORK, Oct 23-Lewls Nixon occupied the witness chair again to day at the hearing before an examin er of the United .States shipbuilding 'ie and gave much valuable testi- ney covering the finances and gen eral affairs of the corporation. He test! tied that be had opposed the Sheldon reorganization plan and had as a counter-proposition urged that the stock be assessed in order to raise the amount necessary to save the combination from default and bank ruptcy. His plan of assessment was opposed by Charles M. Schwab, hold er at that time, of $20,000,000 of the stock, who, according to Mr. Nixon declared that the stockholders would not pay the assessment. Mr. Schwab so Mr. Nixon swt re, declined to pus up any more uoless the Bethlehem steel bonds were given preference as a lieu on tbe shipbuilding plants to the first mortgage bonds, Mr. Nix on's testimony also developed the fact that there was a wide discrep ancy as to estimated earnings in let ters written by treasurer Gary to members of the reorganization coin mltte, and Samuel Untermeyer, counsel for the bondholders, asked if It did not show that there had been an attempt to minimize the value of tbe shipyards and magnify the value of the Bethlehem plant, but tbe wit ness would not say so.

Harri son, mayor of Chicago, gains' 1' e state board of equalization. j.oe court refused to issue a writ of man damus directed against the state board lo compel them to assess all . railroad property, other than main tracks as local p-operty.
