The Britons proposed a shooting contest, which was quickly accepted by the Kansans, and although the men from the trenchos were beaten, the Englishmen generously acknowledged that their victory was due to the superiority of their guns.
At Hong Kong the Kansas band made a great hit and concerts were given each day, which were loudly praised by the English colony.
United States Consul General Wildman and Lieutenant Hobson entertained several of the officers of the Twentieth, and their courtesy was reciprocated by General Funston, who gave an informal luncheon on hoard the Tartar.
The date set for leaving Hong Kong was September 13, and on that day the Kansans were ordered on board. Everything was put in order for sailing and the Tartar's nose was pointed outward, when a most vexatious incident occurred, which might have taken an international turn had not public sentiment in Hong Kong finally overcome the exalted obstinacy of an officious harbor- master.
The transport was not given clearance papers, without which she could not leave Hong Kong harbor. In vain did Colonel Metcalf plead that the harbor-master had no right to delay the homeward voyage of the soldiers. The harbor-master claimed that the transport was overcrowded. There was no complaint among the Kansans, and the whole trouble was stirred up by the volun-
44
teer regulars aboard who found their accommodations somewhat too limited for their personal convenience and who sought to gain greater comfort on the voyage by getting rid of a portion of the Twentieth regiment.
In his provoking dilemma, Colonel Metcalf wired the state department at Washington, but before an answer came the harbor- master changed his mind and allowed the Tartar to leave.
It was at Hong Kong that Corporal Robert M. Lee, company F, died of dysentry. The body was embalmed and brought home. Lee lived at Manhattan, Kan.
On the way from Hong Kong to Yokohama the health of the regiment rapidly improved. When the beautiful Japanese sea- port was reached a day's delay in landing was caused by the exasperating delay of the health officers in visiting the transport and passing on the health of the command.
At last the troops were allowed to land, and in a few hours hundreds of the Kansas boys were on the trains bound for Tokio, the capital of Japan. Here they were elaborately entertained by the American colony. On the morning of September 25, the Tar- tar ran out of the harbor of Yokohama and started on her trip to San Francisco.
Before leaving Yokohama, two deaths occurred, both privates. John M. Ingenthron, of company L, died of dysentery, and John S. Bowman, of the Fourteenth infantry, succumbed to the same disease.
For several days out from Yokohama the sea was quite rough and many suffered keenly, but after the first squally weather was passed the trip was made in comfort. Every one seemed to improve wonderfully, stimulated by the bracing sea air and the prospect of once again seeing home and friends.
When, on the evening of October 10, the transport Tartar was sighted off Golden Gate, tugs bearing Governor Stanley, State Treasurer Grimes and other distinguished Kansans, and many newspaper correspondents, hastened to greet the returning heroes. A high sea prevailed at the time and the tugs were piloted to the transport under great difficulty. It was at this time, when cheers from a thousand throats were conveying glad welcome, that a pathetic incident occurred which cast a gloom over the happy occasion. William A. Snow, a newspaper correspondent, and son of Chancellor Snow, of the Kansas university, was swept overboard from the deck of the newspaper boat and drowned. He was endeavoring to receive dispatches from the Tartar and died in the per- formance of his duty.
Quarantine regulations required the regiment to remain on shipboard over night. They landed the next day and marched to the Presidio, where they were to be mustered out of the service. The journey from the wharf to the camp ground was a continuous ovation, and the Kansans received greater evidences of public enthusiasm than any regiment that had preceded them, excepting, possibly, the California regiment. The people of the Pacific elope were lavish in their hospitality, and no effort was spared to make the interval before the final muster-out as pleasant as possible.

THE TWENTIETH MARCHING ON VAN NESS AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO, AFTER ITS RETURN. Colonel Metcalf in the lead.
Colonel Funston's promotion to be brigadier general was received not only in Kansas but all over the country with expressions of approval. The Kansas colonel, more than any other man identified with the Philippine campaign, filled the role of popular hero. The element both of daring and romance entered into his achievements, and made him as much of an idol as Hobson was after the Santiago campaign.
The greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a soldier is honorable mention by a commanding general and a medal for bravery from congress. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, who commanded the brigade of which the Kansas regiment was a part, made special mention of several officers and privates of the Twentieth Kansas. It is assumed that the recommendation will carry with it a congressional medal. In his report General Wheaton says: "I respectfully invite attention to the gallant conduct of Col. Frederick Funston, now brigadier general United States volunteers, during these operations; also, the very efficient services and meritorious conduct of Lieut. Col. Robert B. Wallace, commanding First Montana volunteer infantry, and of Maj. Richard W. Young, Utah light artillery, for the courage and skill with which he directed the operations of his guns. The extraordinary and most gallant conduct of Private Edward White, company B, Twentieth Kansas volunteer infantry, and that of W. B. Trembly, same company and regi- ment, in swimming the Rio Grande in face of the enemy's fire and fastening a rope to a stake in his occupied works, is worthy of high commendation and reward. The conduct of Lieut. C. H. Ball and of Sergeants Emerson and Barshfield and Corp. A. M. Ferguson, of company E, Twentieth Kansas volunteer infantry, in swimming the Bagbag with Colonel Funston, under the fire of the enemy, is worthy of reward and of great praise."
The Twentieth Kansas has a most remarkable record in the matter of desertions. Of the 1300 who enlisted in the regiment, only four deserted. Their names, according to the official report, are: Jackson Copeland, John Boyle, Fred. Lambers, and Louis Arwood. Probably no other regiment in the world ever had such a record. During the civil war Kansas had just as loyal men in her regiments as any state in the union, yet her desertions ran from four to twenty per cent. By regiments, the desertions in the civil war were: First infantry, 238; Second infantry (three months' service), 6; Second infantry, 191; Fifth cavalry, 96; Sixth cavalry, 130; Seventh cavalry, 226; Eighth infantry, 128; Ninth cavalry, 89; Tenth infantry, 75; Eleventh cavalry, 24; Twelfth infantry, 38; Thirteenth infantry, 126; Fourteenth cavalry, 157; Fifteenth cavalry, 154; Sixteenth cavalry, 135; First infantry (colored), 62; Second infantry (colored), 63; First battery, 19; Second battery, 13; Third battery, 17; colored battery (inde- pendent), 4; total, 1988.
