Admiral Jim Jubilee, Jr., Joins ''the Army
He Spreads Himself, Bosses Everybody, and
Makes Distinguished Fuss.
The Ninth New York Regiment resolved itself
last night into the Fisk body guard by electing
the Erie admiral as its colonel. Twenty officers
were present, out of whom eighteen voted for
the railway Napoleon, one for Colonel jackson
and one, with conscientious scruples, put in
blank.
One of the committee on opening the door of
the hall announced TO the privates of the regi-
ment that Jim Fisk" had been elected colonel,
and q rousing cheer went up.
The newly elected Colonel of the 9th Marines
received the committee in his usual suave
manner, and proceeded with them to the
armory, where he was received with feeling
akin to that which usually greeted the late
Artemus Ward on his appearance in public.
The jokes of the rich are ever successful, says
the satirist, and on this occasion the attempt
was as successful as the performance. Every
officer seemed anxious to greet this great Napo-
leon of the realm of burlesque with the ready
guerdon of laugh but Jim Jubilee, evidently
feeling the importance of his position, reduced
his speech to the dictatorial style of General
BouHl.
Colonel Napoleon Fisk, during the issue of
instructions to his submissive vassals, pune
tuated, figuratively speaking, his sentences with
taps of his cane, and in the enthusiasm of the
moment forgot the artificial and, in round
oath, became quite natural. Being man of many
and influential friends he wished to organize an
honorary association, and thereupon the vassal
appointed two from among the body of serfs to
confer with the Prince. A number of men of
means will thus become members of the 9th
Regiment, and the esprit de corps will
of course prevent them from witnessing failure.
The captains of the various companies success
sively reported the condition of their commands,
and were informed by the autocrat that ii they
were not up to the mark he should "frown upon
them" and put them under the ban of his dis
pleasure He informed them that there was a
list of 200 railroad employees who were ready to
join as soon as possible, and recruiting depot
was assigned. The object of this maneuvre
of the Prince of Erie is evidently to make
this regiment mere body guard for the
corporation he controls, and the supercii-
GUS and dictatorial way he treated the officers
gave rise to the suspicion. At the conclusion of
these eingular performances no congratulations
were exchanged, and feeling prevailed that
they had made a mistake in choosing person
who could not distinguish independent officers
and gentlemen from his own employees. 1t is
understood that on the Goth proximo the Ad-
miral Colonel will expose himself at the head
of the 9th Marines in street parade. This in
timation will bring joy to the breasts of every
militia man and be the military sensation of the
year.

dore, will also be discussed. One Of the first
bills to which the Cortes will give their atten-
tion viii be that on the reforms In the clergy.
Not only will the number of priests be consid-
erably lessened, but the income of the prelates
and the canons will be reduced one-third,
which will save about 60,000,000 reals yearly to
the State.
On this occasion the Republicans will demand
anew the complete separation of Church aud
State.
The Minister of the Colonies has laid before
The Council of Ministers the following bills,
each deputy being requested to read and study
them before expressing his opinion on them;
they will then be discussed in the Cortes.
Firstly, bill concerning the municipalities
of Porto Rico, the ConsetLS-genereuSe, and the
civil governors as prefects secondly, concern
ing public order; thirdly, the electoral laws,
including the elections Of the municipalities, the
conseils-genereuse, the Deputies, and the Sena-
tors; fourthly, concerning the privileges and
duties of foreigners and lastly, bill for the
emancipation of slaves in Porto Rico. This
bill proposes that all negroes born since 29th
September, 1868, shall be free. This will be
one great step towards the total abolition of
slavery, which cannot yet be taken into
consideration, owing to the condition of the
exchequer but which will probably be effected
when Cuba has returned Its Deputies.
have it also on good authority that the Min
lister is preparing several ether bills for the colo
nization of all the Spanish settlements, without
exception, the establishment of the registers of
the civil status and to transfer the direction of
the cemeteries from the hands of the priests to
those of the civil authorities. He will also
shortly lay before the Council of Ministers o
plan for the total reorganization of the trlbu-
mails, and decree establishing the freedom of
worship in the Philippine Islands and at Fer
nando Pc.
The minister will further introduce reforms
in the method of keeping accounts in the An
titles. In future these accounts will not be re-
yised by the Council of the Indies, bat by q COM
mittee appointed by the Minister of the Colo
MES.
The debates on all these questions will last
until the middle of July, when the intolerable
heat of Madrid will render it impossible for the
deputies to pursue their labors in the Cortes.
During this recess the members will study the
bills concerning the organic laws; for the de-
bates upon these latter will only commence in
November
