PATRIOTIC CAMP FIRE.
Veterans Brine the Exercises to an
Enthusiastic Close.
The fire of patriotism that never burns
out kept the comrades warm at the Ex
position last night, in spite of the absence
of material fire. With such an inspiring
programme they couldn't catch cold. The
Newsboys' band set their feet to going,
the singing of "America" fired their pa
triotic bosoms, and the loyal speeches
kept their emotions at fever heat. No
artificial blaze was needed.
Mayor Gray made a speech, the Bryant
Post Quartette of Veterans sang, Judge
Advocate General Ell Torrance gave
them wise counsel, Post Commander D.
B. Searle recalled reminiscences of the
battlefields of old, and Department Com
mander Ives advised his comrades that
duty to their country should supersede
duty to their party.
Cold as it was in the Exposition, an
audience of nearly 800 sat through the
entire programme. MaJ. J. L. Dobbin,
of the post, presided. The audience sang
"America" with a spirit that belongs only
to the Grand Army. After the Invocation
by the department chaplain, Mayor Gray
was introduced. The mayor told the
comrades some pleasant truths about
themselves. He had known many of
them for several years—since the war—
and spoke as one having authority. He

SOLDIERS DRIVEN INSANE.
Minneapolis Volunteer Says Leg
Shackles Aire for Americans.
A few days ago a report was sent out
from Washington to the effect that the
war department had shipped 1,000 pairs of
handcuffs and 200 pairs of leg shackles to
the Philippines. Nothing was said con
cerning what purpose they were to be
put to. A former member of the Minne
sota regiment yesterday stated that they
were to be used on soldiers whom the
heat drove Insane. A number of these
Insanity cases have been sent to this
country to be treated at the St. Elizabeth
government Insane asylum.
According to a recent order of the war
department the officers who served in the
volunteer regiments In the Philippines and
re-enlisted without returning home, and
who were granted travel pay and two
months extra pay, have been directed to
refund the money to the government. A
number of the officers have In some way
disposed of the money, and the order for
the refunding- of the money is a decided
hardship to them.
Those officers who came home with
their regiment and were mustered out,
and afterwards re-enlisted, drew their
tavel pay, and have not only had a pleas
ant trip home, but are much better off
than their comrades financially. The
friends of the officers of the Thirteenth
Minnesota, who have suffered from the
order, think that the department had un
wittingly done the men a great injustice,
and they are talking about asking con
gress to reimburse them.

THREE IN SUCCESSION.
Carvw County Has Had a Hard Time
With County Treaaurers.
CARVER, Minn.. Feb. 27.—(Special.)—It
is doubtful if there is another county In
the United States with a record of de
faulting county treasurers which can
compare with that of Carver county—
Hassenstab, 1875, *S,000; Weego, 1891, $4,333;
Bongard, 390 C (as far as could be ascer
tained Saturday evening), $6,Bl6—three
treasurers in succession, with a total de
falcation of over $19,000.
The defaulting treasurers were all men
of untarnished reputations at the time
of their ascendancy to office, and It was
not until they had come to regard them
fcelvea almost as fixtures in the office
when they commenced their peculations.
It now appears that the action of Ger
hard Bongard was premeditated. His un
easiness when Mr. Hebeisen was nom
inated as his opponent at the last election
seemed to Indicate that he feared detec
tion in his past unscrupulous career, and
his future plans to make good his defi
ciencies miscarry. His appeal to Mr. He
beisen on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 17,
JS9B, to withdraw his name from the Dem
ocratic ticket, and Mr. Heboisen's letter
of withdrawal two days after the meet
ing—Monday, Sept. 19, strengths this the
ory. Eefore the withdrawal of the Demo
cratic nominee the friends of Mr. Bon
gard noticed his strange actions, which
were shrouded in a veil of mystery, and
It was clearly evident to those nearest
him that he was keeping something from
the public. As soon as his election was
assured he again resumed his natural de
meanor.
At the time of his appointment nine
years ago and at every election his
friends pointed out that his resources
were sufficient to make gcod any discrep
ancies that might occur during his reign,
Intentionally, or through clerical errors,
and It was on the strength of this alleg
ed fact that he received the nomination
at the last four Republican county con
ventions. The Carver County Journal
learns from what it considers reliable
sources that at the time of his last elec
tion he was ?2,500 short, and it is even
alleged that he made this statement to a
prominent Democrat of Carver on one of
his vote-begging tours.
The Journal further nays:
The appointment of A. L. Skoog to serve
out the unexpired term of County Treas
urer Bongard meets with hearty approval
throughout the entire county, and he is
already spoken of as the Democratic nom
inee next -fall.

SHIPPING BILL REPORT
PROVISIONS OF MEASI RlO PRE
PAHBD BY SK.NATOH FRIB
AIIK MADE PUBLIC
VALUE OF MERCHANT MAKINE
Great Strew* la L«ia I*noon That Sec
tion of the Proponed Enactment—
Danger of Relying: I'pon Foreign
Vessel* in 'Mine of War Pointed
Out—K< anon* Given for Decline of
American Snipping.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The report
prepared by Senator Frye upon the ship
ping bill reported by the committee on
commerce of the senate was made public
today. The report begins by asserting
"the self-evident value of a national mer
chant marine," explains and deplores our
almost entire dependence upon foreign
shipping for our ocean carrying, suggests
the danger of reliance upon the merchant
ships of other nations which may be
come Involved in war, the pos&ible com
plete exclusion of American exports from
their regular foreign markets in such a
contingency, and points out that the
wholesale entrusting of the tonnage of a
belligerent to a neutral flag would render
that shipping liable to seizure and deten
tion. The humiliation of our reliance
upon foreign vessels bought and charter
ed during our war with Spain is referred
to, and the broad ground 1& taken that
under those sections of the constitution
which empower congress to provide for
the common defense is found the highest
authority for the improvement of our
merchant marine. Three important rea
sons are given for the decline of the
American shipping in the foreign trade,
namely.
First, the greater cost of building ships
in the United States than elsewhere; sec
ond, the greater cost of operating Amer
ican as compared with foreign ships, and,
third, causes based on foreign legislative
encouragement.
The suggestion that this situation may
be overcome by the free admission of for
eign-built ships to American register is
met by pointing out that if such admis
sion were unconditional, it wcu d result
in destroying existing American ship
yards on the Atlantic and Paciiic casts.
All competent authorities, the report
states, agree that this bill, if enacted,
will Involve a large increase in the Amer
ican merchant marine. The passage of
this bill, it is claimed, would probably
effect a reduction of $25,000,000 a year in
ocean rates on American commerce,
through the additional shipping ar.d the
competition that would be created.
FOREIGN OPFOSITiON.
"Foreign opposition,'" the report says,
is being concentrated upon the bill, be
cause foreign shipping interests clearly
see they would be seriously injured by
the replacing of American for foreign ves
sels now in our foreign trade.
''The maximum annual expenditures are
fixed at $9,000,000 in the bill. Ab_>ut $1,500,
--000 is now being paid to American ships,
under normal conditions, for carrying our
mails, a sum which should be deducted
from the estimated cost of the operat'o:i
of this bill. About 400,000 additional tons
of new shipping, approximately $40,00-1,000,
occupying several years in their construc
tion, would have to be built in the Unit
ed States if this bill is passed before th?
maximum expenditure of $9,000,000 could
be reached. It is expected that some
300,000 tons of foreign-built vessels now
owned or building for American citizens
would be admitted to American registers,
under the terms of this bill, thetr own
ers being required to build equal ton
nage in the United States before rece.v
ing any compensation.
"The provisions of the bill, from every
point of view," adds the report, "are
overwhelmingly in favor of new and more
vessels, more shipyards and gfeater fa
cilities for ocean transportation. While
deemed unnecessary, a provision h:s b'en
inserted under which a vessel cannot re
ceive full compensation unless she carries
one-half of a cargo. This," says the re
port, "completely answers criticism to ths
effect that a vessel might run under the
bill for the compensation given without
carrying a cargo."
The report also states:
"As the most promising field for the
future development of our markets fur
agricultural products is northern and
temperate Asia, the committee believes
that our grain fields and cotton planta
tions will gain in greater proportion from
the enactment of the law than the sen
board shipping and ship-owning states."

porations report to the public annually,

it may require, but also to Inspect and
audit such accounts; that the decisions

a day fixed in the decisions, and to re
main so unless reversed by the United
States on appeal; that the commission be
