ALL HEARTS AFIRE r " Continued from First Pasce. nets by their side, were admired, but the recruits roused the enthusiasm. By the time the Second had passed there was not a man or woman ln tha crowd who did not feel assumed that the Minnesota boys would do their full duty to the nation's cause. The sallies of the crowd as "^he Second passed, were good-natured, but glances at the heavy guns, brought the crowd back at times to the terrible reality of war. The First regiment followed close on the flank of Col. Bobletej's command. Col. Reeve and Maj. Bean rode side by side just as they did when the regi ment fell In earlier In the morning. Company D's former captain was the recipient of much applause, and he wore a lovely smile w-ell becoming a Minnesota major. Col. Reeve was one of the most graceful officers in line. With accustomed grace he rode his bay charger to the satisfaction of his many friends scattered through the crowd. Lieutenant Colonel W. W. Price rode along the side of the Second battalion, and Maj. Ames went on foot. / The other mounted officers in Col. Reeve's command were Adjt. Falk, Chaplain C A. Creasy, Surgeon R. J. Fitzgerald, and his two assistants, T. C Clark and Geo. Coon. The St. Cloud company, recruited by Sheriff IfcKelvy, hrid no uniforms, but > they were all of them big strapping fellows, and look< d every Inch ihe typi cal Yankee soldier, despite the absence i . the blue. Directly following th^ First regiment In cider of inarch, came Col. Van Pu ree at the her.tl of the Third regiment. Francis Bidwell, B. S. Person and Chas M. Schaff ar commanded the three battalions of the Third. Lieu tenant Colonel C. B. Johnson kept the regiment In line. The Held officers who rode with tho regiment were Adjt. Robert L. Winne, Chaplian William Colbert, Surgeons A. * B. Cole, A. A. Law and A. H. Rowe, an.! Quar.e; master A. B. Coxe. The Third regiment had. perhaps, the largest Dumber of recruit companies of any of the three, and great things aie predicted for it. Capt. E. B. Wood's company, of Long Prairie, represented some of the best citizens of the place. The muster roll iiiciudis over 100. Considering the fact that <'a,)t. Wood has only put the com pany through a couple of drills they caught the step well and kept well lined up. Capt. Woods looked justly proud of his company. As they marched up Wabasha street With little dags in their hats the ladies who were more numerous just above the capitol square, waved their hand kerchiefs and smiled upon the boys ■ from up the country in a way which made them thrist for Spanish gore. Capt. G. V. Bacon's company, of St. Paul, did not report as they have not as yet a full company. Capt. S. M. Decker's company, from Crookston, were on deck early in the morning, and as they marched with the Third, nearly every man was a head taller than the crowd. A good many of th.-m were railroad men. (.'apt. 1. C. Patterson's recruit com pany, from Princeton, were in line and quite numerous. Afur the last company of the Thiid had passed the governor and his staff, the crowd made a break across the street, which nearly prevented the governor and his staff from falling in. After some successful maneuvers the governor succeeded in making a way through the crowd on his black charger. It was the original intention of the governor to gallop to the head of the column after reviewing the troops, but this was made quite impossible down t< wn on account of the crowds. The first battalion of the Second regi ment left the capitol square at 11:30 a. m., and reached the fair grounds at 2:15 p. m. At the corner of Lexington the troops halted for a rest of fifteen minutes. During the march several men out of each regiment were compelled to drop out, being unaccustomed to marching with so much luggage. The march yes terday was probably as severe a test of the men as any which they may be submitted to during an active cam paign, as many of them had no break fast before the march, and all the re cruits wore their regular shoes. Immediately upon the arrival at the grounds Gov. Clough sent the following telegram to the war department: Gen. Alger. Secretary of War, Washing ton, D. C. : Three regiments all quartered at Camp Ramsey, state fair grounds, wait ing for army medical surgeon to examine ■volunteers, and mustering officer. — D. M. Clough. NO FAST AND FURIOUS FUN. Departure of the Troops Was a Sol emn OoenNlon. It was hardly a "happy gathering." Most of the fun was indulged in before the com panies began to arrive, when the resl:si crowd was swaying backward and forward from one corner to another, doubtful as to the best vantage, and rowdyish looking loaf ers, perched themselves, like monkeys, on the iron rails of the fence about the capitol grounds and passed light, and not always funny jokes, over each other's heads, or stared with impish boldness into the faces of any particularly attractive young woman who pushed her way by. The excited giggle of school girls was to be heard on one side and the audible criticism of one or another's gown or hat by groups of women, on the o:her. Parts of the crowd crushed up the caoitol steps only to be turned back again by the all-important blue coats, who were keeping th:s point rlcar for the descent of the gov ernor and his gaily uniformed staff. Small boys hung themselves in uneven festoons from the highest windows of the capitol bui.dmg, and sized up the scene cor rectly. Excited young women whose men friends had enlisted, nervously tVlsted thcT hand kerchiefs, and listened, with quivering !ips wr.Us mammas to:d simple little tales of the leave takings they remembered when their friends and school mates had enlisted years ago. many of whom never returned. Newsboys with war extras dodged sk'.llfu'ly under the feet of the people with eyes fastened on promising lamp posts. At 10 o'clock the strains of the approaching band were detected, first by the animated festoons of boys at the top of the capitol, and the coming of the companies was duly announced by prolonged shouts and shr.ll whistles. The crowd ceased its restless surging anl formed itself into compact masse 3on either side of the streets surrounding the stat° building and vented its enthusiasm in great cheers for the bauds of men who were ap proaching with even tread and unsmiling faces. The newsies had found the desired lamp posts, and, having "shinned" up, were watching "de army" with dancing eyes meantime hugging their particular lamp posts with arms and legs. Round the corner swept the troops, cheer after cheer greeting the svj In their field uniforms and broad hats. They were very serious. Few had realized before Just what it all meant, but as they filed by, sighting here and there a familiar face, or perhaps a wife, mother or sweet heart, the young faces paled and on many a rheek a dash of carmine told only too plain ly the struggle which was going on within the blue coat. There was little joking as the lines passed, seemingly without end. The loafers forgot to relight their cigarettes and the sombrero-topped cycle girls forgot to chew gum. Thousands of men, women and children stood dumb before the stunning realiz ation of the serious meaning of the scene before them. Behind many of the pillars of the old itate capitol, gray-haired mothers, and, it may have been, grandmothers, softly wept ' They were all so young. And when they came together in such great number* f> brought the fact home for the first time tn many in the crowd that the Civil l J_s^-_ ---fought by boys like these Vil war was Maj. Ed S.

The wives and mothers of many of the men were among- the spectators and when the order to rest came they pressed forward, wi'h little words of advice and final farewells. Friends of all were there In abundance. But the men were very serious. There were not many smiles and there were irany white faces, and when, at 11 o'clock, the order came to fall in, there was little cheer ing and many eyes were wet. Ihe governor and his handsomely uniformed staff rode pompously round the building, and COL. JOSEPH BOHELETER.

ON CLASSIC CHICKAMAUGA. George H. McKae Says tlie Troops Look Fine. George H. Macßae, assistant general pas senger agent of the Omaha road, returned yesterday from Chlckamauga.

He entered Shat tuck Military school at Faribault, in lh7i, and graduated in 1879 with the rank of flist lieutenant and adjutant. He was business manager of the La Crosse Chronicle from 1881 to 1884, and was commissioned as captain of the La Crosse light guard by Gov. Rusk Oct. 6, 1893. He removed to Faribault in ISSS and engaged iv the book and stationery fully located on the old Chlckamauga battle field. The officers of the regiment were of the opinion that they would be located there for two or three months, and were getting things arranged comfortable for an extend ed stay. All, however, were anxious to be ordered to Cuba, from the brigadier gen eral down to the cook of 'Company Q. "The Second Infantry left St. Paul the same time we did, but arrived at Chlcka mauga twenty-six hours later. They went via St. Louis and Corinth, Miss. "North of the Ohio river Immense crowds greeted us at every station, and the farm houses were decorated with flags and sur rounded by groups of cheering men, women and children. After we passed the Ohio river the whites did not turn out ln large numbers, because the cavalry troopers were blacks, and the Southern whites have no love for the negroes. But the crowds of colored people to cheer us on our way were immense, and tilooked as if a second Eman cipation day had arrived. "I have never in my life seen a more In spiring sight than that which 1 witnessed at Chlckamauga. when the cavalry regiments THE ST.

The colored men seemed to appreciate the fact that they were being afforded the best equip ment of any of tho troops that were trans ported, and showed their appreciation by keeping the cars in clean shape. "The blacks were finely disciplined, and would only leave the cars when commanded to do so by the white officers. The officers of the Tenth are willing to put their D'ack soldiers up against any of the white regi ments when it comes to fighting. They say that there are no better fighters than the negroes when they are under command of white officers, but should all the white of ficers be killed, then the troopers would be worse than a lot of children in battle. "When we arrived at Chiekamauga we learned that Gen. Guy V. Henry had been put ln charge of a cavalry brigade, and Col. Baldwin, formerly lieutenant colonel of the Tenth, was put in charge of the regiment." SEEN AT THE ARMORY. News From tlie Rendezvous of the First Refriment. The companies which assembled at the ar mory early yesterday morning were C, Capt. Robinson, who had the right of the line of the companies formed there; D, Capt. Metz, which had tbe left of the line; E, Capt. Bpear^ and H, Capt. Hardy. The old men pro some of the new men were in heavy marching crd.:r, with filed knap sacks, blankets we*] rolled, haversack, can tern cup. web belt and rifle.

Every one remarked the proficiency of the march n/o, P Z%^ Tly appe_!S_ce and marching of the Company D contingent, of which there was a company entire com manded by Corporal Krembs.

Not one of. the men was a member of any military organization, and yet they applied themselves so steadily to drilling that they marched with creditable precision. NEW ARMY SCHEME. Gov. ( louhli Receives Official Noti fication About It. Minnesota's quota of troops to be fur nished under the recent call of the presi dent Is apt to be reduced, according to the> advices received by Gov. Clough from Wash ington yesterday. When ftie call was received "it was gen erally conceded by National guard men that the call of the president for three regiments from this state meant regiments of twelve companies with one hundred men each. It seems that the war department, in Its official classification of Infantry companies, has placed the maximum number of privates at flfty-flve, which, with the commissioned and non-commissioned officers, will bring the number up to eight-four. This will reduce Minnesota's troops to ! about 3,050. j Necessarily a large number of those now In camp will be rejected on account of phys- j leal defects. It ls understood that the tx- i amination to which volunteers will be sub- ! Jected will not bo severe, yet there is a large number who will be weeded out. In ) a company of over 200 men, which went from Chicago to Springfield last week, scarcely 100 | of them passed the examination. Not all those seen in the parade yester- I day are going to enlist. It is understood | that not more than half of the old members ! og Company D are going to the front. Under the classification received by Gov. ! Clough yesterday, Minnesota will have near ly COO troops less to furnish than was at first expected, so it is thought little Jlffl culty will be experienced in securing enough for thirty-six full companies of eighty-four t men each. The old organization of the Na- I tional guard provided for seventy men and | non-commissioned officers, and three com missioned officers, making in all seventy- j three men. Nobcdy here has had authority to muster in volunteers, and none can be mustered in until the mustering officer receives proper au thority from Washington. The official classification of the officers of infantry, artillery and cavalry regiments re ceived yesterday only allows two majors to each regiment Gov. Clough has appointed three majors to each regiment. After some communication with the war department they have consented to accept the Minnesota troops with three majors to each regiment, which is one more than is provided for in the army re-organiza tion bill. The full plan follows-: Artillery. Light Battery — 1 Captain. 115 Corporals. 1 First lieutenant. i 2 Farriers. 2 Second lieutenants. 2 Artificers. 1 First sergeant. |l Saddler.

Gov. Clough also received a communica tion from the, war department confirming a telegram which authorized La Crosse as the rendezvous of the Minnesota troops. This was afterwards changed by wire, it being left with the governor to select a point of mobilization. The letter Is as follows: War Department, Washington, April 25, 1898. To the Governor of Minnesota. Sir: Under the act of congress "To provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment of the United States, in time of war, and for other purposes," approved April 22, 1898, and call for 125,000 volun teers, by direction of the president, I havo the honor to request you to provide from your state the quota of volunteers as fol lows: Three regiments of infantry, to serve In the arms of service designated, for the period of two years, unless sooner dis charged. Attached will be found a statement show ing the organization for artillery, cavalry and infantry. Please cause the adjutant general of the army to be informed of the time your quota will be at its rendezvous, as it will be met as soon as practicable thereafter by an of ficer to muster it into the service and pay of the United States. The mustering officer will be instructed to receive no man, uader the rank of com missioned officer, who is in years over I forty-five or under eighteen, or who is not ! in physical strength and vigor. As soon as mustered into tlie United S ates service it is the Intention that troops from your state shall be assembled with others for instructions and service under the di rections of the major general commanding the army, at some point or points to bu designated hereafter. It is desired, for reasons stated in telegram of this date, that as far as practicable the national guard be given preference. The rendezvous for your state will be La Crosse. If, from any cause, it is found I necessary to change point of concentration, ] your recommendation Is requested. Bands j will be organized from the strength of regl- i ments, as in the regular army, namely, see paragraph 245 army regulations, 1895. Very respectfully, — R. A. Alger, Secretary of War. It has been suggested that Fort Snelling mey be selected as a point of mobilization for the troops of the Dakotas and Montana. It will be noticed that Gen. Alger's letter states that it is the Intention of tne department to assemble the troops of this state with those of other states at a point to be designated later. Fort Snelling will be strongly urged, be cause of its central location and easy acceso. It would be much more desirable to havo the troops of these three states assemble at one point, as supplies could be Issued with more dispatch, and the regiments could be better equipped and . manned by assembling ♦hem ln one place. ~K Fort Snelling ls about the only place ln the Northwest where the troops of these states could be temporarily, .mobilised, with proper conveniences, and it ls not improbable that the troops of Montan* and North and South Dakota may be statldned at the fort for a few weeks. At the fqrt .they could be given some excellent practice In 1 field maneuvers, which would greatly Increase their military value. 3J HIGH SCHOOI) BOYS FIRED. Their Enthusiasm ■. X new No Bounds Yesterday. The Interval between 10 and 10:45 o'clock, while the troops were assembling ln the vicinity of the capitol, was appropriated by two hundred high school boys for a "dress parade." The Central high school was dis missed by Principal Smith, at 10 o'clock, and the boy 3 formed In line with Walter Howell as captain, and made the round of the com panies, giving the school yell, and s nglng scngs concocted for tlie occasion, at every opportunity. They then marched down Sixth street to meet several companies of the Second regi ment, which had just arrived. After yelling long and loud enough to make anybody but a boy hoarse, the students returned to the capitol and took position on W_basha and Exchange. From here, as the regiments filed by, arose cheer on cheer. Every cne of their ex-schoolmates, and their were many in ths line, was welcomed and bidden farewell with a rousing outburst of the school yell: grecky-go-ex-go-ex-go-ex, Brecky-go-ex-gQ-ex-go-ex, Who-wha, wha-wna,* Paula-bullo. paula-bullo, Bt.

Albert Lea, Wi nona, Austin, Faribault, Fargo, Worthington, Red Wing, Tracy and other points came roll ing into the union depot about 10:30 o'clock, and disgorged about 1,210 of the future war riors. Of the number probably 30.) were raw recruits. Many had no guns, most of the re cruits had no uniforms, and these that had could only beast nondescript outfits, which, however, will be immediately replaced by the government. Some of the farmer boy fight ers from the rural districts, stout of limb, and with muscles of steel, marched through the streets carrying boxes cf lunches "which mother had put up." On their shoulders they carried blankets, which had done service at home. These, too, will disappear as soon as Uncle Sam opens his big store house at Rock -Island. At 11 o'clock S.ems Second Regiment band, of St. Paul, went to the depot, where It picked up the right of the line, end in perfect mil itary order the regiment started tor the state capitol. The veteran mllitlEmen looked like old campaigners 'n comparison with the re cri:'.ts. Company C, ot Winona, evidently had been In a state of siege. Evidences of a bombard ment with rose 3, carnations and other floral missiles were to be seen everywhere. Some of the men carried bouquets In the muzzles of their rifles, others in their hats, while one or two cf the officers carried big bunches of flowers strapped to their saddles. There was no attempt to make discipline rigid, or to enforce E/trict military rules. Men, seeing friends on the sidewalk, took advantage of temporary helts and dashed out to squeeze a friendly hand.
