ADDENDA.
Page 42, Paragraph 58:
OPPOSITION TO BILL .- The passage of the bill was fought at every step, and its triumph was received throughout the North with demonstrations of grief and anger. A great number of American citizens with the experiences of the Missouri Com- promise of 1820, the Fugitive Slave Law, and the Compromise of 1850, and with the Dred Scott Case then pending in the Mis- souri courts, did not believe that the bill meant an honest sub- mission of the question of slavery to the bona fide settlers of Kansas or meant anything except a determined purpose to force slavery upon Kansas and upon every territory in the United States.
Page 161, Paragraph 251: The name of John Francis, treasurer, should be inserted.
CHAPTER XXXVII, KANSAS IN THE WAR, is, of necessity, marked by some inaccuracies. At the time of its writing official reports and records were not obtainable, and the only sources of history then current were the press dispatches to the American news- papers. As rapidly as possible the errors, while not important, will be corrected.
Page 259, Paragraph 449: Hutchinson should be recorded as fur- nishing a company (along with Kingman, Wichita, Eldorado, etc.).

Page 266, Paragraph 461:
THE FIRST TO FALL .- More serious business was to follow. On the night of the 4th of February, 1899, the men of the Twentieth were engaged with the Filipinos. Private Charles Pratt of Company M, was killed, shot through the head, before noon of the 5th; and on the afternoon of the 7th the gallant Lieutenant Alford was killed.
Page 266, Paragraph 462:
THE ENGAGEMENT OF FEBRUARY 7TH .- In this engagement the Kansas soldiers displayed the qualities which have since dis- tinguished them. The Filipinos were massed in front of the Kansans and at 3:30 p. m., February 7th, 1899, Companies B, C, I and a part of E were ordered to charge the woods. With Colonel Funston on the right and Major Metcalf on the left the line moved forward and was almost immediately in fierce encounter. Lieu- tenant Alford, in his place in command of Company B, had just shouted "Keep going, but move steadier," when he fell dead, being struck in the face with a Remington ball. The insurgents were driven back before the impetuous advance, but at the cost of Lieutenant Alford and Sergeant Sheldon, killed, and five others wounded. The battle of Caloocan occurred on February 10th and added new glory to the Kansan's reputation.
Page 267, Paragraph 464:
THE ADVANCE TO MALOLOS .- The Kansas regiment took part in the movement to Malolos begun on March 25, by which the enemy's line was broken in two.
